i was staying at a nearby hotel and chose this place based on reviews. In hindsight, I should have paid far more attention to the negative ones, because my experience matched them exactly. From the moment I walked in, the owner Bibbo completely dominated the interaction. There was no consultation. Before I could explain what I wanted, he launched straight into telling me how "fantastic" I was going to look and that I should just trust him. It felt less like a service and more like being talked over and managed. "You'll look gorgeous" he yells out... He is extremely controlling in his approach, even with his own staff, which creates a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere. The entire time, he was loudly promoting how great he is and how amazing the result would be, without once actually listening. The pricing was completely unacceptable. I asked in advance and was given one figure over the phone, but by the end the bill was more than double, over $450 plus tax. No explanation, no transparency. When it came time to pay, he disappeared, leaving staff to deal with it. The process itself felt rushed and careless. Products were applied immediately without discussion. He didn't even complete the service himself, yet returned at the end to announce how "fantastic/gorgeous" everything looked. There was no space to give feedback or even process the result. At the end, instead of asking what you think, he declares--loudly and repeatedly--that you look "gorgeous - I TOLD YOU SO" and then repeats over and over he "told you so." There is no space for your opinion. You're effectively talked over and pressured into agreeing, while he announces to the entire salon how great the result is and how GORGEOUS your hair is... It feels less like a professional service and more like being completely steamrolled into validation. The behaviour comes across as controlling, patronising, and deeply uncomfortable. The entire experience felt very performative, controlling, and transactional in the worst way. Be very careful. Get a clear, written price beforehand and make sure you are actually heard before anything starts. read more

I cannot speak to how good Silvia is with hair because her assistant was so rude to me I decided to not have an appointment with her. Although I did specifically ask about parking instructions ahead of time, I looked for parking for 60+ minutes and could not find any because at the time there were roads under construction and my GPS could not get me close to the salon, and since it took me almost an hour just to get the part of the city where the salon was, I was very frustrated and turned around and went home after looking for parking for an hour as well. I had planned to have enough time to get to the appointment 1 hour early, but all the time I spent looking for parking was to the point where I was already late for the appointment. This was actually so stressful I almost had a panic attack! I am not familiar with driving in the city. And I don't even have anxiety issues. I should mention that I do not parallel parking because I struggle with parallel parking, so I was looking for non-parallel parking spaces. I would have called the salon but their website says they do not answer calls! And because I was driving I could not email. Anyways, I felt bad and would have gladly paid a cancellation fee to make amends - but someone from the studio (Silvia's assistant named Brooke) texted me that day about missing the appointment and when I explained via text when I was no longer driving why I decided to not attend the appointment - I was texted back in a way that was admonishing me, saying I was very disrespectful etc... of Silvia's time. The text message I got from Brooke said the following: "You could have let us know earlier. Or asked about parking suggestions we would have gladly helped. Silvia has a huge list of people on a waiting list wanting a Saturday appointment. This completely messes with Silvia's whole day schedule and prevents a potential client from coming in. We apologize for your frustration but this really disrespectful to Silvia's time." Can you believe that I was texted this - what poor professionalism and customer service! First of all - I DID CALL AHEAD AND ASK ABOUT PARKING a week in advance. I also left so early from where I live I should have gotten there 1 hour early, with plenty of time to make sure I found parking where I feel comfortable (i.e. no parallel parking). I WOULD HAVE CALLED but their website says they do not answer calls. In fact, I did call but no one picked up. I could not text or email BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING. The fact that I was then accused of messing with Silvia's whole day made up my mind that I would NEVER book any appointment with Silvia. I hope she is a nice lady and from the reviews I am sure she is great with styling hair, but when your assistant treats customers with such a high level of disrespect, why on earth would I want to then see that stylist? I had originally planned this appt to style my hair for my engagement photos. Did the assistant ever stop to consider how excited I was for the appointment and how frustrating it was for me to not be able to find parking after searching for 1 hour? She treated me as if I was intentionally rude. She did not know I almost had a panic attack. She did not care. As a medical provider I am very responsible, always show up early for my shifts. In general as a person I am extremely punctual. I am very aware of time. That is why I planned to give myself so much time to get to the appointment. I think that is what bothered me the most about Brooke's comments. It was extremely uncharacteristic of me to be late, let alone miss an appointment. I would only miss an appointment with a strange or extreme circumstance - like what happened that day. All around, I give a big thumbs down to this experience and hope that Silvia has better people than Brooke working for her today. This actually happened a while ago. Meant to post this sooner. I hope Silvia reads this. read more

Katia and Bobbi were phenomenal hairdressers! This was my first time at the salon and I happened to luck out and get these two amazing people attending to my hair. I actually just walked-in and they had a cancellation that allowed me to get right into a chair and get worked on. They finished the highlighting with a trim and a blowout and I feel fabulous! read more

Bibbo was a nice enough person. We were out of town and need a last minute color correction ($220 USD). He said that there was a 50/50 chance that with my daughter's black hair it might come out more Orange and Red. Don't get your hopes up, he said. Ok, sure. The bleaching took her hair back to a very close Brown that was her original hair. The entire time, he would not give me an estimate on the final price. Kept saying, my daughter would love the final result. The hair was more blonde than black (the box color she added didn't take, thankfully). So Bibbo asked my daughter what color she wanted her hair to be, she picked a medium brown. Bibbo said that was "too light, she weeks look better with a darker Brown color. He picks the color and him and his assistant perform the color treatment. It came out purple, a dark purple that dyed her scalp purple, her forehead purple and final color color a dark purple. With school starting in a week my daughter was devistated. Bibbo offered to do some highlights the next day at 8:30am. My daughter rushes over to the salon at 8:30am sharp. He wasn't there, none of his staff had any idea he was going too fix her hair. The end of it is that the highlights didn't happen, she left SFO with purple hair. She was told it would get lighter... It did, more people! read more

I love this adorable salon so much! Antonio is the best! I started going to him about a year ago (by recommendation of a close girlfriend who has gone to him for years)and he literally SAVED MY HAIR! I have naturally dirty blonde hair, and try to keep it light throughout the year! Highly recommend him for any hair type or color, but he sure does blonde well ‍ read more

Total Disapointment. Here is my story with Bibbo, when I went to him for the 2nd time on 02.25.16 after being there 3 months ago to color my roots. This time I wanted to change my hair color from blond to brown with lighter reflections and I wanted a bob style haircut with longer front & bit shorter back. The result was way far form my expectations from the best hairdresser in town according to him. Let's start with the color which was uneven, and I could see this, when my hair was still wet. Bibbo then decided to put chunks of highlights all over the brown hair, that actually turned to yellowish. During that time I didn't understand, why he decided to color my blond hair with brown color all over to highlight them again after. I didn't comment on it, believing he knows his job. Then the highlights he did were too thick, and gave unnatural result. The hair cut was the most dramatic part for me. All I can say that he butchered my hair. My hair was sticking out here and there so visible to the point u can see in the picture even from distance. I left his salon without any comment (my mistake), but I was under the shock, and when I came home and looked into the mirror I bursted with tears. I couldn't believe that I spent about $200 for THE RESULT LIKE THIS!!! I texted him few hours after the treatment with pictures saying, that I am not satisfied with the haircut and wanted at least the refund for it. He called me back with pretensions, why I dare to contact him on his phone. He was yelling at me, and he didn't even let me speak a word, saying he has advocates/attorneys, if I want to complain on Yelp, he will get them on me. He was repeating, that he is well known hairdresser and how I dare to accuse him, he did a bad job with my hair. This was totally uncalled for and so unprofessional while I was crying my eyes out. My husband had to intervene,when he heard him yelling at me through the phone and treating me like no one, when I paid him for his services. I am new in San Francisco and went to his salon because of someones recommendation. It's very hard to trust a new hairdresser and to find a good one. I was so lucky to find an amazing stylist, that took care of my hair next day. She has cut my hair evenly finally, cutting as little as possible, because Bibbo already cut my hair too short. She also tried to remove the yellowish reflections from the highlights. She didn't even want to charge me for the treatment. I have to admit sometimes stylist's with less reputability pays more attention to details and customer satisfaction than those who claim to be famous. read more

Bibbo, bibbo, Bibbo! What a lifesaver wonderful hairdresser, and caring person! This weekend I made the mistake of trying out a new salon for the second time to get my roots touched up( high and low lights). While I was decently pleased with my first job at yo yo's hair salon in the inner richmond, the last trip this weekend was an ultimate disaster. After 5 hours, and two hair dressers later, I left the salon in tears with orange, brassy, bleached, and destroyed hair. To make matters worse, she only highlighted half of my hair leaving the back a disaster as well. Horrified I scrambled to find a very qualified salon to repair the damage. My mother has been seeing hair dresser Andres at bibbo salon for years. She too has blonde thin hair and he does an excellent job. She relayed anyone at bibbo would be great. I called them, explained my situation and booked the next available appointment. Unfortunately, there was a miscommunication and I came in this evening, instead of Tuesday. I took an hour and half off work to make the appointment, and was really upset-- I was about to put back on my beanie and walk out when a gentleman sitting on a sofa in the front said " if you trust me, I will help you. I'm bibbo, and this is my salon." I was blown away-- the highly regarded owner himself, who was about to go home for the night, graciously offered to help me out right then and there. And boy, was I lucky he did! He immediately had a game plan and reassured me that he was going to make it right. He said "you are not going to leave without a smile on your face!" Bibbo and his team did an excellent job correcting my hair. He added natural looking low lights and took out all of the yellow/brassy notes. I know where to go for all of my future appoints-- Bibbo! Thanks again for the kind welcome, amazing hair and overall hospitality. Well deserved five stars!! read more

I was checking iaiting SF and stumbled upon this place. They were very welcoming and promising. One person washes hair, Bibbo cut hair and another dried your hair. Looked great when done but when I got to my hotel room I realized one whole side had uneven cut and one whole stand was left as original length. Very very disappointed!!! read more

Only a good option if you don't care what your hair looks like. I normally do not like writing 1 star reviews, but feel a sense of responsibility to warn people of what is to come, which is not all bad. Haircut by Bibbo. It was my first time here and I realized it was likely going to go south from the beginning, but decided to stay after I figured I was over reacting.....I wasn't. First off, they ask me to go into a closet in the back, hang up my coat and put on a black smock. I go to the back and enter a dark closet. It is every bit as strange as it sounds. Then a lady waves me over to the hair wash station. She feels that I am wearing an incorrect smock and is nice enough to help me change into a different one. I am a large guy, but for some reason am sat on a booster seat at the sink. Still, the hair wash was nice. At this point I realize that I should get up and walk away. I don't. The reason for my alarm, the person that is going to cut and style my hair has not seen how I style my hair and his first time seeing me will be with wet hair. How will he know roughly what I want it to look like? The answer will soon be crystal clear: He doesn't care what I want it to look like. I meet the man the salon is named after, Bibbo. Despite my concerns, he seems very nice, positive, and ready to give me a great haircut. He asks me what I would like done. With hair movement and hand gestures "I like the sides a bit longer and we can leave the top for the most part, I really just need it to be cleaned up and the back needs to be tightened up a lot." "So, in not so many words, MODERN!" - Bibbo Uh...please use all of the words. All of those things were important. "You are going to love this" - Bibbo Cut number one is a buzzer to the side of my head, exactly what I asked him to not do. I realize that he actually just completely disregarded my request / instructions. He does not care what I want and is going to give me what HE thinks is best. So, I put on a smile and was game to be along for the ride. After 15 minutes of exaggerated hair flips, cuts, buzzes, and a whirl wind of an unorganized haircut, Bibbo is done. He asks if he can style it his way or if I want to style it myself. How considerate. Let's ride this plane into the ground. I let him style it himself. "Look at me in the eyes and don't blink" He buzzes my eyebrows. "Gorgeous! You look incredible!" Bibbo could not be happier. Meanwhile I am in shock. Why would a man completely disregard what I asked him and do whatever he pleased with my hair? In summation, if you want your hair cut, a fun experience, and you have no preference for what hair style you walk out with, Bibbo is 100% the place to go. Overall very enjoyable. If you have any preference for what your hair looks like and you have expectations of any sort, prepare for those to be completely disregarded. read more

Without question this was a huge mistake resulting in the worse haircut I have ever received, just horrible. I was optimistic when I was told Mr Bibbo himself had an opening and would be able to provide me a haircut on short notice. I was very explicit in what I was looking for and how I wanted my hair cut. I should have trusted my instinct and left the moment Bibbo reached for the electric trimmers and not scissors. The length is completely uneven and truly looks like I went to a barber school for a haircut, my hair looked more presentable prior to having visited. So my advise is, plan ahead and get your haircut before you travel. I am so embarrassed I can't bring myself to post photo evidence of this tragedy. read more

Very best hairdresser, stylist in San Francisco - Bibbo!!! He did magic with my hair! Perfect blond. I always wanted that and nobody could make that true. I have a lot hair and he did my haircut in 20!! just 20 minutes!! In other places it was an hour... I am very picky for hairdressers hands, how they touch my hair. This time everything was perfect. Bibbo is great professional and he has passion on what he is doing. If you want perfect hair cut and tone - it is right place to go. Also in this place I got my eyebrows done. Everything I need in one spot. Will be back! read more

Bibbo and katia are the very best of the best! My mom and I have been going to bibbos for at least six years and I can tell you we've never left disappointed. Bibbo is not only a master with hair but he is also super energetic and a great person to talk to. Katia is also really nice and they both really want you to leave the salon feeling confident. I recently went blonde at bibbos and being Asian with really dark hair I was really concerned with how it would turn out. Bibbo and katia made the process so easy and enjoyable. I left a blonde bombshell. Bibbos has everything from threading, nails, and eyebrows and I recommend all of them! This place is just wonderful! read more

I found this spot while randomly walking around. I dropped in for a eyebrow wax. I didn't have an appointment and they were able to fit me in. The woman that does brows there is so good! She spent a lot of time working on my brows. I feel like I have been to so many spots in the city even the expensive ones that have rushed through the job of working on my eyebrows. She took her time and made sure to keep checking in with me to assure she was taking my brows in the direction I wanted them to go. She listened to my direction really well. I just went back today and had another great experience. This time I called in the day before. I got a voicemail, but received a prompt call back the next day to book an appointment. I'm sold. She is my new brow lady. read more

The people in this salon are just plain weird. Besides Bibbo, who I found to be extemely self promoting, I found everyone here to be highly unprofessional. I would never set foot in here again. Also, have you noticed that upwards of 80% of the positive reviews are written by reviewers with fewer than 10 reviews? I'm just saying. read more

Well I've been a bad bad girl, I've cheated on my Bibbo It wasn't my fault , really it wasn't Yes I know my hair is yellow, And I know who made it that way, me !

And he definitely has reasonable pricing compared to what I've paid in NY, Chicago, and LA especially when considering his amazing talent and expertise. The hair color and styling in the glamour shots in my photos were done by Bibbo at Bibbo Salon . read more
