“Mari has been my most trusted hairstylist to date, especially since moving to SF in 2021 and having to find a new colorist. She has kept my hair beautiful and healthy through years of bleach and tones. I appreciate how Mari is collaborative and so knowledgable when exploring different cuts and colors.Mari and Chauntae have created a warm, inclusive, and fun environment for all hair needs and genuine connection. As a queer person of color, it's been rewarding to support a LGBTQ+ business. And they're just really good at what they do. I can't recommend Habitat Hair Salon enough!“

“If you're a blonde or want to go blonde - this is the place to go in SF. Amazing blonde specialist. And I'm not talking about highlights, I'm talking about the range from platinum to pure white granny hair. I'm super happy and Holly was very nice. My platinum blonde is the brightest than it's ever been. Very healthy too.“

“Sami is my hair doctor… thee hair doctor! and I’m grateful to have found her. I started going there over a year ago but recently was convinced to join a friend to get my haircut elsewhere. Huge mistake! I went back to Sami within the week to fix the mess. She knows hair and transformed a terrible cut into a style I’m happy with. She’s a pleasure to visit, walk-ins are welcomed, and the prices can’t be beat. I recommend her to everyone!“

“I came to Jesse for the first time after someone jacked up my color. He fixed it and did a fabulous job coloring and cutting my hair for a long time. Because of location, I went to another salon - they fried my hair. I came back to JESSE and again he came through with a keratin treatment and SAVED my hair once again! I love this salon and LOVE JESSE!“

“Ben and his assistant are a fantastic team. I am picky about my haircuts, and I dread looking for new people to do my hair. I showed Ben a couple of pictures. He asked me some questions. He did a wonderful job of blending my layers. Since I have thick hair, I like the results when stylists use a razor to thin my hair, and Ben did an excellent job of this. (I will only be in San Fran for 3 more weeks. I wish I had found Ben sooner.)“

“Ana has been my hairstylist for about 10 years. She is very skilled and confident in what she does. I personally like that she has an artistic eye and will suggest what haircut or haircolor looks better on you upon request. Her tasteful choice of music playing in the background adds to the general ambiance. Her salon is conveniently located in the vibrant Mission street neighborhood and is easily accessible by BART (get off at Mission/ 16th and walk for 10 min). I have long thick, but fine hair and I color it medium brown. The haircuts I get with Ana are easy to maintain and does not require a lot of styling. I wash it and blow dry and it looks gret. I don't live in San Francisco, but continue to make time to return to Heartzilla, because Ana truly is a rare find!“

“My husband and I have both been going to Eman for our hair for years! I almost always get a cut and color and my husband typically does a fade haircut. He always takes him time to consult on what we want (whether it's our usual or something new) and he seamlessly upgrades our looks each time! We enjoy our time in the chair with him and having time to catch up since our last visit. Eman's studio is located conveniently on Market St, which makes it easy to go during the work week or even easy for us to BART over from the East Bay on the weekend. I would most definitely recommend him if you're looking for a fresh cut and to build a good relationship with your hair stylist!“

“Dana was able to smooth out/fix a previous haircut i had gotten elsewhere and brought life back to my dry hair with an olaplex treatment. He is kind, patient, and not at all judgy - he listens to what you want and makes it happen! The salon is warm and chic. You can’t make a mistake by getting your hair cut at Salon Nuna.Service: Haircut“

That's when I knew I have found a talented professional. His haircut was amazing - my hair grew exceptionally well!This week I wanted a bleached look for the holiday vibes, and Raul nailed it! He accomplished the dreamy blonde tone I've been yearning for since summer.Thank you Raul!“
