Makeup in San Francisco

“Alicia came to my daughter's place to do her and my hair for my daughter's wedding. She was wonderful in communication. She sought ideas we had for our hair prior to and made appropriate recommendations. She brought everything needed to make our hair creations personal and beautiful. She was on time, quick in the styling and got us out on time too. I can't say enough about Alicia's skill and expertise. She gave us each touch up bags with some little cosmetic treats that my daughter loved so much, she stole mine. Her kindness and thoughtfulness through the whole process was calming on what could be a stressful day.“

“I love Ana. Ever since I visited Barcelona 2 decades ago and admired their cool haircuts I was dreaming of a hairstylist from there, and then would you believe it I found one right here in the Mission, known for her work with the curly heads!

I’ve gone to her for over 15 years now. Short, long, medium, asymmetrical, we did it all. My better half and close friends became her loyal customers too.

She’s an artist and it shows. She really feels deeply what the right set up for your hair is and makes it happen.

So many fun and interesting conversations over the years, too. And she even saved me from a car rental scam in Mexico in the latest twist.

Bueno, she’s the best.“

“I’ve been going to Honeycomb Salon in Noe Valley for years, and it’s still the only place I’ll trust for my cut and color. Every stylist I’ve met is experienced, talented, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It’s a high-end hair salon, but never feels pretentious or intimidating.

The team stays on top of current haircut and color trends while taking the time to recommend what will actually work for your hair, style, and lifestyle. As someone who’s solidly middle-aged, I love that they help me look and feel modern, confident, and just a little more fun without trying to make me look like someone I’m not.

The customer service is just as exceptional as the styling. Danny at the front desk is always warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful, making every visit easy from start to finish. Gillian, the owner, is a magician with color and cuts, and she’s built a salon filled with talented people who clearly care about their clients.

If you’re looking for an outstanding salon in San Francisco for expert haircuts, color, and a genuinely friendly experience, I can’t recommend Honeycomb Salon highly enough.“

“Finally found my spot on Taraval. KaYea does that clean Korean-style cut where everything actually falls into place instead of just being shorter. My stylist took the time to ask how I usually wear my hair and what my routine looks like before touching the scissors, which made a huge difference — the shape still looks good days later without me doing much.
Shop is spotless, the vibe is relaxed, and they don’t upsell you on anything. Prices are fair for the quality. Already booked my next appointment.“

“My hair has been dark for the whole winter season and ready for a change. So glad my friend told me about Paul because he did an amazing job with my highlights! The color he chose worked well with my skin tone! Highly recommend!“

“Came here because of another good review from a Colombian friend and I was not disappointed at all! I loved the haircut and the blower. Dennis is a professional indeed.“

“My first ever hydrafacial and I'm so glad I was under the care here at Stella Kim Artistry. Cheryl did my facial-- so gentle and thorough. I appreciated that she explained each step and what she was doing before starting. My skin was definitely glowing after the hydrafacial - squeaky clean and hydrated. Definitely would return!

Bonus is that they have a free parking garage!“

“I did their Monay Hair Cryotherapy treatment. Life-changing! Frizz is gone, hair is so smooth and very easy to manage and style at home. 1000 percent recommend!“

“Nicole did my make up for my birthday dinner with my boyfriend and I felt so beautiful. She’s so lovely to hang out with! Really grateful and enjoyed my birthday so much. Thanks Nicole 😄💖“

“I went in for hair extensions removal and reapplication, and Fidel was amazing throughout the whole process. He not only did a flawless job with the extensions but also treated my hair with a great mask that left it feeling so soft and healthy. To finish, he gave me a fantastic styling that I absolutely loved. Fidel is professional, attentive, and really talented—I couldn’t be happier with the result. Highly recommend him!“

“Been going to Lisa for years for color and she’s the best! Very careful and meticulous, just what you want in a colorist.“

“Lola did an amazing job on my keratin treatment. I love my hair and I’ll definitely be back!! 💜💜“

“This is honestly long overdue.

Nicole is AMAZING!!! I love seeing her and look forward to it. She spends an immense amount of time pampering your skin. She’s literally a gem in the city!

If you want an expert that tailors your facials to your skin, SEE HER! BOOK HER NOW! My skin always feels super hydrated, clean, bright, and supple. She recommends products that she thinks will
help you in your skin journey. She’s so lovely and I always feel comfortable and relaxed, and leave feeling like a brand new woman. 10 stars! ✨“

“Linda’s my go-to gal for all my hair needs! She’s the best and I always get compliments after every cut and style. Helps me feel confident every time. She’s a real one too and always appreciate her expertise.“

“Best set of lashes I’ve ever had. Julie is thorough and kind and the lashes are still going strong in week 7“

“I've been using Maria Lee's skincare products for the last couple of years and I'm so impressed with the changes that I've seen in my skin. I'm in my mid 50s and got the anti-aging set from her and the difference in my skin is so noticeable. I like her high-quality ingredients and the way they smell and of course most importantly they are actually helping me look younger!“

“Really enjoyed working with Mei to come up with my wedding hairstyle after my initial stylist cancelled last minute. In a short period of time, we created the look & it was even better than initially planned.“

“Okay I'm obsessed with my brows rn. I've got naturally uneven brows with some gaps and honestly gave up trying to get them to look good, but Alisa Flammier at Eye Candy SF worked actual magic. She shaped and tinted them to fit my face instead of just doing a generic template, and now they look full and even in a way I didn't think was possible for me. Also got a lash lift while I was there and it's chef's kiss, natural but with the perfect curl. Alisa is so good at what she does and makes the whole appointment feel chill and easy. Found my brow person for life, book with her!!“

“April made me feel so calm and comfortable from the moment I met her. Since I wasn’t able to do a trial before my wedding, she thoughtfully walked me through her plan that morning before we began, incorporating my inspiration pictures along with a few changes I wanted. She took the time to explain how those changes would affect the overall look, which made me feel confident trusting her throughout the process. My glam turned out absolutely perfect and held up all day! I’ve never felt more beautiful, and I would recommend April again and again!“

“Love Geno so much! He's a hair artist! Every time he does my hair it looks beautiful and I notice that it grows out well too. I have curly hair that's thick but the strands are fine, he does a wonderful job.“

“Fiona was incredible! I felt the most beautiful I’ve ever felt without looking or feeling like I was wearing a ton of makeup. My makeup lasted all day and photographed beautifully, from our first look through the dance floor. Most importantly, I still felt like myself; just the most elevated, confident version of me.

I had a hair extension crisis, and she stepped in immediately to make sure my hair was exactly how I wanted it. Her warm, calm demeanor instantly put me at ease. She takes the time to answer all of your questions and genuinely wants her clients to feel confident and happy with her services. I cannot recommend her enough!“

“A wonderful location across the street from the Presidio, that I discovered by a recommendation after moving from the peninsula a few years ago and needing to find a local stylist. Dayna gives fantastic haircuts—first she really listens to you and finds out what you like and then uses her skills to give you a great cut. I am so grateful to have found this gem of a salon!“

“We add a great experience with Joan on our wedding day for our hair and make-up! The communication with Felicia was perfect throughout the preparation of the wedding. We highly recommend Bun Bun Bridal Lab, which is also conveniently located next to SF City Hall 😉
Thanks to the team,
Sonia and Nadine“

“Aleen & Salam and Angelica they are the best for blowout and updo in San Francisco!“

“Amanda was an absolute dream to work with, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

From our first makeup trial, she took the time to truly listen to what I wanted and collaborated with me to create a hair and makeup look that perfectly complemented my wedding dress and the overall vision I had for my day. She asked thoughtful clarifying questions throughout the process and made sure I felt confident and excited every step of the way. I never felt like she was just doing my makeup—it felt like we were creating my wedding look together.

Beyond her incredible talent, Amanda has such a warm, fun, and calming presence. During my hair and makeup trial, I was actually getting married later that day at City Hall, so I was feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. Sharing that special moment with her made the experience even more memorable, and she helped me feel beautiful, relaxed, and ready for such an important milestone.

On my wedding day a few weeks later, Amanda was just as wonderful. She worked with both me and my family and had an amazing ability to read the room. She brought such positive energy, kept everyone at ease, and made getting ready one of my favorite parts of the day. Most importantly, she absolutely nailed my bridal look, I felt like the very best version of myself. I looked exactly how I had hoped to look on my wedding day 🤍

If you’re looking for someone who is exceptionally talented, collaborative, attentive, and genuinely a joy to spend your wedding morning with, Amanda is the person you want by your side. I’m so grateful I chose her.“
