    face framing front layers and a trim done by Tammy
    Maria T.

    best service ever and first time at this salon too!! (Won't be the last) called in to see if they had walk in and got my hair cut the same day I'm always anxious to get my hair cut but Tammy made sure that I felt comfortable the whole time - she understood what I wanted and delivered it!!!

    Thanks, Tammy, for a hot cup of coffee on a cold day.

    Happy again. Thanks, Tammy, for a job well-done again and again and again. And thanks for my hot coffee on a cold SF day.

    Such nice people! We've been traveling over from the Mission to see them for years. My wife & I can't think of a better place to go.

    Had a bad cut there. I only asked for an even trim and it didn't happen. Now I gotta find another salon to fix it. Not returning again. :-(

    I did a walk-in since I was nearby for a long women's haircut but definitely recc calling ahead to…read morereserve a time. Mr. Ono was super detailed and took his time cutting, washing, and styling my hair to the style I wanted so super appreciative of him! It was $90 for the extra long women's haircut. I typically ask for layered haircut kind of similar to a butterfly haircut, and I think he delivered. There was a nice massage hairwash too. I took a photo the day after of my haircut so the styling wore off. I love how he took extra time to check every layer while cutting and styling! Bonus points for their super cute doggo in the shop. Very kind staff here! :)

The salon hair wash + scalp massage is one of the best parts about getting your hair cut. Off to a bad start. Then she started snipping away unevenly. Scissors were clearly not sharp - I could hear those dull blades tearing through my hair. The saxophones kept getting louder. Rough dried my hair with a towel, her hands, and a blow dryer - didn't pick up a round brush once. Flathead, no volume. I told her it was uneven in lengths and layers, in addition to being much shorter than I asked for, and she said "your cut was uneven when you came in so I can't make it even or fix that." What? That is LITERALLY your job as a hair stylist. Left with dry-ass, choppy layered, uneven, shorter than asked for hair that wasn't even styled. One star only because she comped the poorly executed haircut.

A shoulder cut can quickly look crazy on me (mullet alert) but she was able to perfectly layer my hair with some face framing bangs to come out perfectly balanced. Also she's the easiest person to talk to, makes your appointment feel so relaxing and peaceful like you're catching up with a long time girlfriend - she is theeee best!!

    I've been going to Nielle for over a decade and from the jump she really listened to what I wanted…read more I originally came to her after a botched balayage I got in the Philippines, and she completely fixed it. From there, we did an 10 hour transformation going blonde and honestly, that appointment bonded us for life. I've never trusted anyone else since, she's basically my hairstylist and therapist hehe Her balayage is SOOOOO good. It always looks natural, grows out beautifully, and lasts forever without getting brassy. I'm pretty low-maintenance, and somehow my hair still looks put together months later because of her work. Her haircuts are also super clean, and she's actually the one who got me into curtain byayangs and I've stuck with them ever since. What I appreciate most is how much she cares about doing things the right way. When I decided to go back to my natural color, she didn't rush it or take shortcuts. She slowly transitioned me over time and kept my hair healthy through every stage. I live in Los Angeles now and will literally fly home just to see her, that's how good she is! After 11 years, she's more than just my hairstylist, she's someone I trust completely. Highly recommend!
