Becca is an absolute gem! Every time I leave her chair, I feel like a million bucks. She truly has a gift for understanding not just what I think I want, but what will genuinely look best on me, always taking my face shape into account. It's so refreshing to have a stylist who listens to all my hair needs and consistently delivers a cut that's not only stylish but also incredibly easy to manage. If you're looking for someone who will give you a wonderful haircut that's tailored perfectly for you, Becca is your person! read more

I recently had an appointment with Becca at Alexander G and I absolutely loved the salon and the haircut!! Becca is a very talented stylist and hair genius. She used a deep conditioner on my hair that left it feely incredibly soft and smooth (I've had a lot of trouble with deep conditioner in the past always leaving my hair oily). She also gave me layers that really compliment my face shape. The salon is also located in a nice area and the building is beautiful. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great haircut, style, and experience. read more

Super friendly and very professional. They accommodatede on a short notice so I am thankful. I'll update on the results of the service received later. read more

Alexander G - Salon, clean, hair products - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I came into the Bay Area for a celebration dinner in August and desperately needed my hair cut, styled and add some highlights. I called Alexander G and they were able to fit me into Alexander's schedule on the day of event. It felt good to get my hair styled and colored for the eventing event. Since getting my hair styled there, I have had numerous compliments on my hair style. Thank you Alexander! read more

I am a guy with short hair and recently went to Alexander G for a haircut before my wedding. This review is only related to my experience getting a men's haircut. Ahead of my wedding, I wanted to go beyond the normal haircut and have something truly special. Alexander G made the experience enjoyable with sparkling water and good conversation. Alexander doesn't use clippers which he shared is better for the hair. Unfortunately, this led to a very uneven cut on my head that had patches of short and long hair that simply didn't look good and couldn't be styled in the manner I requested it be cut. I tried to use a variety of hair products for two days before giving up and making an appointment at another barber to fix things. (The other barber literally said "whoa...what happened?" when I sat in her chair.) Based upon the other reviews and a woman that got her hair cut right before me, I'm fairly certain this place is great for a woman's haircut but if you are a guy with relatively short hair, you may want to look elsewhere. read more

I couldn't be happier with my hair thanks to Rosa! I've been going to Rosa for about 3 years, and I typically ask for a partial highlight/tone/haircut. Rosa does a great job neutralizing the warm undertones in my hair to create an overall icy blond look. The salon is very clean, modern and welcoming. I highly recommend Rosa and Alexander G salon to anyone looking for highlights! read more

Madeline is a true hero. After a disastrous and seriously hair destroying bleach and tone gone wrong at another salon in the area, I was desperate to get all the fried hair cut off my head (literally started contacting other salons as soon as I left the first one). Lucky for me, Madeline had an opening one hour later. I came in ready for her to buzz it off (literally that bad). She surveyed the situation, acknowledged it was bad and then got to work salvaging and fixing what she could. She gave me two hair masks, talked me through hair health and what I can do while I grow out the damaged hair and gave me a super cute cut to boot. THANK YOU MADELINE. When I walked in I was truly embarrassed to be in public, but she had me looking fly when I left (literally got hair compliments on my walk home). Oh and her prices are insanely affordable for San Francisco standards. Quick tip: the salon is a little hard to find. You have to enter into the lobby of an office building, then turn to your right and you'll run into it. Cute small place. read more

Very inconsistent. I received some of my best haircuts from Alexander G. but also my worst hair cut. Simply not worth the cost given the inconsistent results. Each visit ends up around $100 and each cut should be consistently great. I will not go again. read more

Absolutely love my today's appointment with Maria! She did my hairs exactly how I wanted, so nice and natural color! And my hairs are still in good condition! She is a real professional and knows that customers want! The place is nice and good located, also mentioned the owner Alexander was here today, so stylish and well mannered man! Plan to visit this salon pretty often :) read more

This is a great hair salon. I requested an appointment in Yelp and got to do my hair out of their normal business hours (6:15pm), which is really nice as I get to cut my hair after I get off work at 6pm. The ambience is posh and the place is well-maintained. Eunice greeted me with a warm introduction to the salon. She was very patient and took the time to ask about my hair and my expectations, and performed a great cut. I also got a free glaze as a part of their promotion. The whole cut lasted for two hours as Eunice paid great attention to details, making adjustments after my hair is blow dried. Best haircut I had in a long time! I will keep visiting this salon in the future. read more

I have been having my hair done by Alexander for twenty years. When I walk into his salon, I trust that I will be well taken care of and my hair will look healthy and vibrant when I leave. Alexander G has exceeded my expectations of having a good haircut and color. I leave there feeling uplifted and happy and I realize that the entire time I am in the salon, I am engaged in such a wonderful, positive experience. I am grateful for Alexander G. and can't imagine my life without him!!! LISA WEINDORF SAN FRANCISCO read more

I love this salon, tucked away in the FiDi! Amy is my go to and she always gets my blonde hair shiny and just the perfect shade I'm going for. From butter to honey to ice queen - she always delivers! As a curly girl, I've always had long hair. But recently, we chopped it all off to an asymmetrical bob. (So chic!) And as much as I loved my little cherub curls, I wanted something more sleek, so we did an Agave smoothing treatment. All natural, my hair came out beautiful! It's just enough to easily blow dry and flat iron the flyaways, that my routine is still under 10min. Plus, it still gets perfect beach waves, when I want a different look. I would definitely recommend Amy for color and cut, and the agave if your hair needs some curl relief or frizz love! read more

I almost don't want to leave a review because this place is a gem!!!!! I am so terrible with names but my stylist had long brown hair and black frames. Sweetest person ever. I needed a blowout last minute on a Friday night. She was able to take me immediately and I will never go to another place ever again for my blowouts. Superior service, skill, attention, outcome. Best blowout ever had. read more

Can't recommend this salon enough for color and cut. I go lighter and my hair has so little damage bc they don't use bleach to lighten (I had never heard of this). I don't want this gem of a place to ever leave! It's so hard to find the right salon and I now simply refuse to go elsewhere. Great team of people all with talent. read more

Went for a cut here based on the excellent reviews, but was disappointed in the results. Very meh.

As an outer Richmond resident, I often saw the Alexander G salon on clement and 32nd but never had a chance to pop in before they consolidated to their Bush st. location. I finally had an opportunity to get to downtown and let me tell you, it is worth the commute! Eunice was so professional and sweet. I'm pretty low maintenance and usually getoverwhelmed in salons, especially beautiful ones like Alexander G. Eunice made me feel so comfortable and at ease, I had no problem trusting that she would deliver on my hair. It sounds crazy, but the time and attention to detail Eunice put into my balayage was like watching an artist. I love my haircut and the color came out so natural and perfectly blended. I will absolutely be back! read more

Amy is my go to gal for hair anything! I don't trust my hair to just anyone especially when it comes to highlights or going lighter than my dark brown hair. Nothing worse than dried out over processed hair. Amy is a true magician and really gets hair. My hair has never looked so good and people are always stopping to ask me about my hair. I owe it all to Amy, thanks!! read more

Great blowout with a great stylist..she was talkative without being too talkative, and had great advice for hair care in general.

Back in September I was so excited that salons were able to re-open because it had been over a year since I'd gotten my hair done. I decided to try Alexander G because the reviews were good and the salon was cute. The staff was incredibly friendly and covid safe. I decided to change it up a little and asked to darken my hair and give it some extra layers. When the stylist turned my seat around to the mirror, I had no words. I did not like what she did. My hair did not resemble the photo I showed the stylist and was barely darkened. I'm not one to complain and don't really enjoy confrontation, so I decided to go home and straighten my hair myself in hopes that it was just the way the stylist styled my hair that I didn't like. To my dismay, my hair was even worse after doing so. With my hair straightened, the layers looked incredibly choppy and were not blended well. I was practically in tears because I absolutely did not like the reflection I saw in the mirror. I called the salon back immediately and asked to speak with the owner, Alexander. He took my call and asked me to come back in a few days later so he could try to fix the issue himself. While I greatly appreciated his willingness to see me again, all he did was blend my layers (that honestly should have been blended to begin with) and offered nothing else in return. I still insisted that I was happy to pay for the service, but shouldn't have to pay the full amount as I was still not satisfied with my new look. I hesitated writing this review for so long because I felt badly about the fact that small businesses such as salons had been hit so hard due to Covid. However, I've come to realize that Covid was hard on me as an essential worker too and I shouldn't have had to fork out $330.00 for a haircut and "color" that I didn't like. Needless to say, I will never return to Alexander G. Salon. read more

Flew up for a holiday party and unfortunately with a cancelled flight, ended up missing my appointment at another blow dry bar in the area. Turns out, this was a blessing in disguise! I reached out to AG through Yelp to request a same day appointment for a style. Sophia was super quick to respond and squeezed me in for later that day. Rosa was a doll & did a phenomenal job on my hair! She replicated a style from a photo that I showed her and it turned out even better than I could've hoped for. I have extremely fine, medium length hair that never holds a curl. Rosa worked some kind of crazy magic bc with the help of a lot of Bobby pins and a healthy dose of hairspray, my style lasted all night- even in the rain. Thank you so much, Rosa! Will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area and need the touch of a hair goddess. read more

Maria W. I was looking to get into a salon day of and found this hidden Gem! I called and they got me in. When I arrived they were very hospitable. The salon has a cozy feel, but very professional! As someone very picky with hair, Maria did an EXCELLENT job, I didn't have to say anything to her more than once, and my hair came out perfect! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to have a fabulous blow out! read more

Alexander G was very responsive in creating an appointment on a busy Saturday for me while I was visiting SF. Professional, very knowledgeable He was able to meet my time restraints for an evening event an hour away from the city. I love the new cut | style | added low lights to add more dimension to my hair! It was a splurge but well worth the investment in my hair care. Beautiful boutique salon in the heart of the financial district. Parking at bldg M-F but also very walkable if you work in the Financial District. Saturday parking was a challenge but very walkable. It looks like the bldg parking at 555 Post is open during M-F. Weekend parking garages at *Post Montgomery center parking *173 Sutter st *SF, Ca. or *Portsmouth sq parking (Chinatown) 5 short blocks down Kearny to 555 Post On Kearny btwn Washington & Clay read more

Amazing service, all the time I felt safe and the haircut was exactly was I looking for Totally recommended read more

Alexander G really knows what he is doing. He understands how hair grows so he can cut your hair in a way that makes it last. I've gotten so many compliments on my hair. He understands that your hair is an expression of who you are and there is a difference between him and the vast majority of people out there. He has a genuine passion for hair and is constantly striving to improve. He really has a lot to be proud of and what he has accomplished. read more

Honestly the best. I'm a kind of person that grew up on $10 haircuts because who wants to pay for something like that. It wasn't till I was making my own money that I started to care about my hair (because let's face it the older you get the less hair grows). Victoria is amazing. She's the one who's done my hair twice and I love it! She always asks what I want and cares about my length just as much as I do (you know you say it but they never listen) well she does! The last time I got my cut it honestly lasted forever. I only get cuts every year and I just got my annual one today and seriously can't get enough. Thank you for being so professional and nice! And for giving me a haircut I will love until my next one!! read more

Easy to book through Yelp, clear and transparent pricing and scheduling, and after work hours! The hair stylist asked what I wanted as my end goal, and really flushed out what I meant. This resulted in exactly what I wanted: natural hair color with depth that covered my balayage, making maintenance of my hair super easy. The experience was relaxing, calming, and welcoming. It's been about three months, and my hair color still looks amazing. I'll definitely be back! read more

Conveniently located in the heart of the Financial District, Alexander G is a beautiful small hair salon with a talented and friendly staff. Blowouts cost $30 and include a glass of Champagne. Alexander carries his own high-end product line that is shockingly affordable and sure to impress. read more

My queen Rosa gave me the best cut and balayage I could have asked for! I am so grateful she was able to do my hair when it's so scary to be around other people! Have already recommended to friends :) read more

I just had a great appointment to color my hair. The salon was able to fit me in for a next day appointment and the experience was great. Alexander himself did my color and provided a great recommendation. Very happy with the experience. read more

Alexander was amazing! Great cut and such a pleasure to spend my haircut time with. Bonus is his assistant gave my hair a super cute style with a great blow dry and some curl after my cut. Will definitely return. Thank you Alexander! read more

So I randomly found this salon on yelp. I was looking for a blow out near by. I'm so glad I did. I forget the ladies name but she made me an appt and did my blow up. She was super fun and sweet. And my hair looked great and lasted awhile too. The salon is located in a office building but still very convenient and nice. A little small but did the job. It was kinda expensive for a blow out 44 dollars but that's sf for u. read more

Victoria is amazing! She gave me an amazing blowout and was just fun to be around. The salon is very clean and cute. Way better than going to a Drybar! read more

I've been getting my hair done here for years. Every single time I go for a cut, I come away absolutely thrilled with both the experience and the result. My hair looks ready for a professional shoot when I leave, and I feel uplifted after spending time chatting with all of the lovely people that make this salon special. I'd recommend Alexander and his team to anyone looking for the highest quality experience, and consistently delightful results. read more

SOOO CONVENIENT! this location is steps away from my office which makes it a no brainer - but on top of it all the hours are fantastic and easily fit into my schedule. i was able to pop in for a quick cut in the morning with Amy, who was chatty and personable without being fake or too artificial. while my cut is a tad shorter than i intended (it always ends up that way, ha!) the layers are great and Amy did a good job. On top of that, it's fantastically priced, especially given the neighborhood average. i'll definitely be coming back for colour and more fun, since my hair grows like a chia pet on steroids. read more

Alexander is truly an expert in hair. He educated me about the condition of my hair and transitioned me to his organic formula shampoos and conditioners. It's made a HUGE difference in the health of my hair. And his products are a steal at the prices he offers. If you're suffering from dry hair, flat hair, thinning hair... talk to him about his products-- he's formulated them all himself. It takes about 30 days to see the changes start taking effect but it really works! read more

Thank you to Rosa! She promptly responded to my inquiry and took me right away to get a wash and blow dry. Fabulous!! She was also fabulous! I was visiting from out of town and she gave me some suggestions (which I took and went to btw (Napa)) on where to go as she styled my hair to perfection. Thank you! Great salon! You will not be disappointed read more

I was referred to Alexander G. by a colleague and i'm extremely pleased with my hair cut. The location is super convenient, right in the middle of the FiDi, and this brand new location looks very sharp. It's an intimate size, with 2-3 stations, but immaculately remodeled with marble, classic fixtures and high ceilings. Service, from booking to departure, was warm and attentive. My stylist (Amy) did a fantastic job and her pleasant personality made the time fly right on by. If you're like me, and you're stuck in a rut with quick (but not so "super") haircuts because of a hectic schedule, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to an appointment at Alexander G. Time and money well spent. read more

"High and tight". That was the request from my wife. Amy was super excited to go that route. She knew it would look good on me. And it did. I felt like a million bucks walking out of the salon. Time flies when you're having fun. It's an intimate little space with high ceilings. And Amy is funny and easy to talk to. Great experience. Look good - feel good. ;) read more
