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!“

“Got a color and bangs and love them:) Awesome stylist and great ambiance! Thanks John!“

“I really enjoy going here. The salon is always clean and organize. The stylists are welcoming. When you come in, they will check if need you anything/ who do you have appointment and let you know in case they are in the back preparing for your appointment. I started going here last year and keep on coming back to see Kelly. Kelly is so thorough and patient in explaining different style options (haircut and color) that will best fit my daily activities and lifestyle. She is also honest on whether my hair will actually look like my hair inspiration or not due to my hair type. My hair is somewhat hard to maintain when I get a short haircut, but with her skills, I was able to enjoy and maintain short hair with and without bangs. I also came to see her for hair coloring (partial balayage) yesterday. I asked so many questions during the appointment, & yet, she still managed to finish on time - so efficient! I love her great reveal of the final outcome yesterday. As always, love the magic she does to my hair! Got great compliments from loved ones!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Came in for a cut before my bday and absolutely loved the way it turned out!! Booking online was straightforward and there's an option to do group bookings if you want to get your hair done with a friend I met Shanna who totally had a vision on how to cut & style my hair and asked how much length I wanted to take off first My hair feels a lot lighter and I'm excited to go back for some color next Also, the interior was like a nice minimalist vibe with good attention to detail with the things that matter like a comfortable wash basin The two stylists that I met were easy to talk to and made me feel really comfortable/at ease I'd def recommend for haircuts! Color soon!! :)“

“Been coming here for more than 10 years now for my Japanese hair straightening and I love it every single time! Lisa is the best, she is professional, thorough and patient while doing this 4-5 hour process on my hair! The results have been consistent for me every time. I come in once a year and the results stay really well for about 8 months until I have a lot of regrowth!definitely recommend.i can’t thank Lisa enough for her magic!“

“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

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“To the kind lady, thank you! My kid and I came here Sunday afternoon 3:40pm and asked for some directions.“

“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.“
