Best Hair Salons In San Francisco

“I was going on vacation soon and Arthur went above and beyond to fit me into his schedule despite it being my first time there. The haircut was fantastic! I recently moved to SF and struggled to find someone new to cut my hair until I found Arthur. I highly recommend!“

“Dominick gave me a beautiful blow-dry today. I explained what I wanted (I have a lot of texture and frizz in my hair and wanted smoothness AND volume), and he 100% delivered. I don't live here - I'm just visiting - but if I did, I would definitely trust him with a haircut.“

“I have been going to Marlon for over a year now and every time he has gone above and beyond to accommodate me. One time I went to a different hairstylist that offered a keratin treatment out of convenience but it was not what I expected at all! Marlon took me in to fix my hair and I vowed to never go to another hair stylist haha. His team deserves 5 stars and more

Specialties: Their Brazilian Keratin treatment leaves my natural curly hair pin straight while maintaining a healthy appearance and feel. The treatment lasts between 4-5months.“

“After getting a really bad haircut from someone who doesn't understand how to work with wavy hair, I searched yelp for a hairstylist who does. I found Ana and she's been cutting my hair ever since. For the past 13 years, she has become someone I trust implicitly with my wavy hair. Ana gets it. She knows how to enhance the natural texture and flow of my waves ensuring they fall just right every time. We've developed a rapport that makes the whole experience enjoyable. We chat about life and catch up on each other's news. If you're looking for someone who understands wavy or curly hair, make an appointment with Ana. She's got you!“

“I have used Helen Lee for years ! Started with her in New York City and now using her in SF . I have never had anyone understand exactly what I needed , the way she does . My highlights are perfection and the cut gives the layers I’ve coveted forever . She is a true technician!! If I didn’t LIVE here I’d travel here to have her do my hair . She’s fabulous . Incidentally , I had gone to her at YoYo Salon before following her to Bliss . And Bliss is a perfect name for what she has given me !!! Thank you , Helen….“

“Principle is excellent but my review is specific to the wonderful Erin S.

I've been going to Erin S. for over a year now, and she has built up an incredible amount of trust with me through several haircuts and color sessions. She is extremely intuitive, always knowing exactly what I want even when I’m not sure how to articulate it. Whether it's a fresh cut or a new color, she consistently delivers results that are even better than I envisioned. Her attention to detail and ability to understand my style preferences make each visit a great experience. I highly recommend Erin S. for anyone looking for a stylist who listens, understands, and delivers every time.“

“Back to refresh my cut and Tanya did another great job. She is a magician with hair, creating waves and volume in my straight, flat hair.“

“Wonderful experience, I feel like a new person! Raul clearly knew what he was doing and really brought my vision for myself to life!“

“I absolutely love this nail salon. They are truly top notch. Fantastic customer service and quality of services. I enjoy that they do both a hand and foot massage. They use hot stones on your feet too! I most definitely will be returning as a frequent customer.“

“I have been going to Bianca since Studio 81 opened, she has completely transformed my hair. I love that she genuinely cares about the work she does and continues to learn new methods and try different product only to make your experience that much better!“

“Paul is absolutely the best of the best!! I have naturally black hair and I've been with him through nearly every shade of balayage and/or highlight throughout the years--from a light honey, to caramel, to dark espresso. I've tried out many other salons and nobody can work with hair like Paul ?
I always feel like a movie star leaving Bijoux, with my hair blowing around in the wind lol-- the color and movement is just unmatched. Highly recommend!!“

“Had a phenomenal haircut here by Izzy! I'm moving out of San Francisco but will still try to come back!!“

“Omg!! LOVE my pixie cut!! Absolutely coming back!! The result is better than those costly salons where money was mostly invested in interior design.

Requested style: Pixie-short hair that looks stylish

Specialties: Pixie cut

Hair type: Asian

Stylist: Ivy“

“Lindsey was stylist and I LOVED her!!! I am always skeptical when trying someone new as I have curly hair and have had many not great haircuts. But when I find someone that can cut my hair AND is a great and just nice person to chat with, it's a double win. I travel for work and change locations every 3 months but if I am ever back in the area, I will definitely come back here. Highly recommend Lindsey for cutting curls well.“

“As a longtime San Francisco local, I've experienced exceptional hair services all over the city. However, Chadd at Headprint Studio has truly exceeded exceptional. His love for cutting and coloring hair shines through--he even hums while coloring, treating each session like a masterpiece. I leave the salon feeling more confident every time, and he genuinely strives to meet my every request. I'd give him 10 out of 5 stars if I could! On top of his talent, he's a genuinely sweet person and a pleasure to chat with. He takes time to provide top-notch service (this includes an amazing blow-dry). The salon's location is a bonus, perfect for grabbing a shake at Earthbar or coffee before the service.“

“Massiel is an amazing stylist and I’ve been going to her for years. I get compliments on my hair every time I leave her salon! She is so knowledgeable about hair, from cuts to buzzes to perms (which she has all done for me over the years!) and gives great styling tips to help me keep my hair looking good. A true gem!“

“Holly is the best hairdresser in SF—by far. You’re lucky if you have stumbled across her. She fixed my hair after a disaster, she is a hair angel.“

“There's no one else in the city I would go to and trust my hair with. I'm not sure how I've survived this long without you, Joe! He has been there through my most important moments in life - from doing my hair before my engagement, my city hall marriage and finally my wedding/reception with friends and family. Thank you for everything!“

“Made an appointment with Aya and she did an amazing job! I showed her a reference and it came out exactly like the picture! Also got a relaxing head and shoulder massage. Will be returning in the future.“

“One of the best salon/barbers in the Bay Area that has kept me coming back for 3+ years

Hair type: Men’s hair, short, thick

Stylist: Franz Jeremy“

“Marisa is a wonderful stylist. I love going to her salon and getting the royal treatment! I don’t often write reviews but I love her!“

“I'm so glad I decided to give Connie a chance recently as I was in need of an affordable but quality barber/stylist in San Francisco. I had been biking out to Judy at Gentle Cuts on Taraval in the Sunset but Judy was hit or miss and I often was on the barber seat's edge, not knowing if I would get the haircut I was looking for or if I'd leave the salon with way too much hair chopped off. Connie is amazing and she will be my go-to haircut spot in SF for now on. I have a very particular men's fade haircut that, for reasons unknown to me, has been very challenging for most hairstylists, from student stylists at upscale salons to small neighborhood barbers. I brought an iPad with photos of the cut I wanted and Connie nailed it, taking her time to make sure she didn't shave or cut too much hair off and always checking in with me to make sure the cut was shaping up to my liking. Connie is able to talk and cut hair at the same time! She's very personable and is doing everything she can to keep her prices affordable. $25 for a quality haircut is worth every penny. Connie has incredible attention to deail and gave me a better haircut than what I've found in fancy salons downtown. The fade was clean, I didn't have to clean anything up (especially around my ears) when I got home - something I've had to do way too much in the past. Thank you Connie! I'll be back again soon.“

“Maricruz at Salon One Thirteen is absolutely amazing! From the moment I met her, her warmth and welcoming energy made me feel completely at ease. She truly understands hair and beauty, taking the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and delivering results beyond my expectations. I couldn't be happier with my experience and I highly recommend Maricruz to anyone looking for an expert hair colorist and a truly personalized experience!“

“I got a beautiful haircut from KK--he's very precise and thorough, and did a great job adding layers to my long hair. Very reasonable price too!“

“I last minute decided to get my hair cut during a trip in SF. Sammie is who helped me! Wow she knew just what to do. Very friendly and talkative and also very well educated in her craft! The salon had a great cozy vibe. I left feeling refreshed and loving my nee hair cut! My curls have never been so healthy and bouncy! Thanks so much sammie i look forward to my next visit!“
