I've been going to Chad for over a year for my haircuts. After searching and many ok haircuts with others I'm so very grateful to have found Chad. This guy is a needle in a haystack! I get so many compliments on my hairstyle. I've changed style over the year, brought him a photo of what I'd hope to accomplish & to my surprise he cut my hair exactly. I love the way my hair looks. He also does something special on the back of my hair so it doesn't look like the usual sloping flat spot, even in the morning when I wake up my hair looks great. I'd recommend Chad without hesitation! He's an amazing stylist & I'm one happy client! read more

On a recent visit to my former home in Tampa, I discovered that my hairdresser of many years, Chad Malm, had moved back to Tampa Bay from California! Pure elation and joy! Not only is the small salon charming, but this is a fabulous hairdresser and stylist is the best I've had in my 72 years! That is a long time, ladies, so check it out! Psst, he even listens to every word you say about what you would line! You will be so glad you did! read more

Simply the best. Chad has been cutting my hair for over ten years. His technique is amazing. He makes a plan and executes it with thoughtfulness and artistry. He cuts to compliment the type of hair you have and your face and can even follow your highlights and color with his scissors. The best thing about Chad? Give him some parameters or vague direction and effortlessly and immediately he comes up with several exciting ideas that will work. I've been to hair stylists who are technically skilled but you have to tell them EXACTLY what to do. I cringe when they ask "how much should I cut off?" while holding a wet chunk of my hair. JUST NO. Chad would never do that. Chad is fun and interesting and it's relaxing to hang around with him and I recommend him wholeheartedly. read more

Have had 2 Keratin Treatments done with Chad and will never go anywhere else! My hair feels smooth and has more shine and the treatments last longer than most other places I have had it done. I was able to go almost 5 months between my 1st and 2nd treatment and still could have waited another month or so. Chad is also fun to talk to and makes the appointment enjoyable. Highly recommend! read more

I have known Chad for many years. No one is more caring as a professional stylist for his clients and for the outcome of your hair as Chad. His cuts are amazing and any processes a miracle worker. He is who you see when someone has destroyed your hair. He stays updated with the latest trends and goes above and beyond to make sure the end result is what you want. read more

I went for my appointment today and found out he's moved to Florida. Posting this in case there are other people who have appts that also weren't cancelled. read more

Wow Chad he is the best at his job. I got keratin treatment twice from him and it's absolutely great. He is pretty flexible with setting up an appointment and makes you feel very comfortable throughout the whole treatment. In the nutshell he is a really good professional and person too . Cheers to Chad !!!!! read more

I visited Chad, hair stylist of Bad Kax, for an annual keratin treatment to restore strength to my hair. My hair is very brittle/fine and is prone to natural highlights because it easily damaged by UV. I get this procedure done to reduce further damage to my hair as much as possible. That being said, it's been while since I got my hair keratin treated because it's a 3hr procedure and can be quite expensive (usually around $300). I made a reservation with BadJax because his prices are more reasonable than the old salon I used to get it done. Moreover, his reviews seemed sound and good on yelp. Initially, we had a confusion over the location of his salon because he had to suddenly move recently and hasn't had a time to modify his address on google maps. So just to clarify for future clients, the address is 555 Sutter St, NOT 545 Sutter. You should also have his phone number in case you get lost because Chad will usually respond pretty quickly. The hours online are also incorrect. He is open on Mondays. So point is, message him ahead of time to confirm and call if you can't find the salon. It's on the second floor of 555 Sutter St. Because of the confusion about the location, I was a little worried at first. I left thinking that maybe there was mistake and called Chad to leave a voice mail. He returned my call 5 min later to apologize and direct me to his new studio location. I quickly learned that the recent move was something that was out of his control and he tried to reach me earlier via text to confirm the location and time of our appointment. However, somehow the message to me never went through. Apart from that, don't let the location deter you from visiting Chad for your hair needs. The salon is very close to union square but in a slightly sketchier neighborhood. He is REALLY good, a professional hair stylist for over 25years. He used to travel a lot and style for models, so his skills are really on point. Perhaps what stands out the most about Chad is his attention to detail and patience. He took his time trimming my bangs, asking how I like to wear them and suggesting what he thought would look based on what he heard I wanted. For the keratin treatment, he really took his time coating each strand of hair with keratin, carefully blow drying everything until it was completely dry. Based on my past experience, Chad's level of attention to his craft really stands out. I have had many times where the stylist rushes through the process of keratin treatment, sometimes missing pieces, pulling too hard or accidentally bringing the flat iron or blow dryer too close to my scalp or ears. Even though I have long hair, some stylist can do it in 1.5hr if they take shortcuts. However the effects doesn't last as long. Chad seems to take pride in his work which is why the treatment took longer than some stylists I have seen in the last. He made sure I was comfortable during the 3hr process. Asking if I wanted water, tea or any snacks while I wait for the keratin to condition my hair. Overall, I feel he was generous with how much keratin he used and was meticulous about his work, which speaks a lot for a hair stylist. Even with his years of professional experience, he still works his craft patiently because it's a passion for him. I would definitely come back to see Chad for my future cuts and keratin treatments! read more

Chad Malm is a professional that possess master skills in knowing how to cut hair. The first time he cut my hair about 9 years ago it was obvious immediately that he knew what he was doing; I agree 100% with all the other 5 star reviews. He disappointed a lot of clients when he moved back to California a couple of years ago, but thank goodness he came back. Florida is where he belongs, let's hope he never leaves again. read more

I went to get a haircut + Keratin treatment at Bad Jax Haircuts. Chad did an amazing job ! I was particularly amazed by his level of dedication & patience. I have super thick hair & most hairdressers that I've been to are patient at first, but try to rush off things towards the end. Not the same experience here though! I liked how Chad spent almost 5 hrs on my hair, he even mentioned that Keratin shouldn't be rushed and was as patient as possible until the end. I usually dread long waiting times while going for a procedure, but we had engaging conversations the entire while which took my mind off the clock.Though I am yet to notice the effect of Keratin on my hair , I am pretty sure my hair will definitely look better because I already feel good. Will return here for sure & recommend this hidden gem to people in my circles read more

Chad is really an artist. The cuts he's given me are amazing. He visualizes what needs to be done based on my hopes, what my hair naturally does, and also the shape of my face. He can synthesize it all and find the right style. I'm very happy I found him! read more

At 6am on the morning of an 8am appointment, this jokester sends me a Yelp message to let me know he's packing up and moving to Florida. He didn't even give me the courtesy of a phone call or a text message. If I didn't have Yelp alerts on my phone I would have shown up. I was planning to get my hair done for an event I had been working all year on. I'm SUPER disappointed. read more

My hair turned out beautiful and full of shine. It started to rain right after my appt but my hair held up and I have naturally very curly hair. It has been super easy to flat iron. I am a happy customer. read more

Chad is amazing. My daughter has had hair straightened twice and myself once. He does a beautiful job and I recommend going to him for any haircut or straightening needed. read more

The best keratin treatment I've ever gotten! I just washed the keratin out of my hair and am amazed with the results -- my hair is so smooth and soft and straight. I LOVE it. Chad spent 3 hours on my hair - he was SO detailed - going over sections with the treatment, letting the keratin sit, blow drying and then flat ironing. I have never had such a detailed treatment. Chad is a true perfectionist. I absolutely recommend and will be coming back to Bad Jax. Thank you so much! read more

Found Chad on Groupon and so happy I did. Hands down best keratin treatment and cut! My hair is frizz free, air dried beautifully and he gave me an amazing cut with long layers. I have already received so many compliments and I will definitely be back! Book him you won't regret it! read more

I went to get a Keratin treatment for my unruly hair and Chad did an amazing job! He was great to talk with and he didn't seem to mind that my hair needed extra time to work on. I have 3 times more hair per square inch than the average person, so it can take up to an hour just to blow dry. And as far as Keratin treatments go they take even longer but he didn't rush the job- and I have had rushed jobs from other salons that turned out horrific. Not here! Everything turned out great. I went to Mexico recently and my hair was awesome through the sun, pools and ocean exposure! Couldn't ask for a better place! Thanks so much! read more

Chad is literally the best!!! I searched for years for someone who understands how to cut hair and Chad is a needle in a haystack. I have pin straight locks and I have not found anyone else who can create body and movement with a haircut. I truly didn't know a good haircut until I had a haircut by Chad. read more

Took a chance for the new salon and I love it! I had the great experiance for Keratin treatment and haircut. Nice service ;)

Chad is the best - his haircuts are so precise and last beyond others I've had. He's a miracle worker with hair!

I visited Chad for a second keratin straightening treatment. I have very curly biracial hair. I like the keratin treatments because of their smoothing and strengthening effects. I'm so, so glad I came here and will keep coming back. His keratin treatments last MUCH longer than the other treatments I've purchased and at a more economical price, which is what originally drew me to his salon. I consistently get compliments on my hair texture and length after I visit Chad. I give him my highest recommendation. read more

Glad Chad is back in town. Can't wait to get in to get that better than great haircut!

I went to get a Keratin treatment and a hair cut at Bad Jax Haircuts. Chad was extremely knowledgeable about the treatment and handled my hair with care. He never rushed and made me feel completely confident that my hair was in good hands. Post treatment my hair is completely frizz free I am able to keep it down after a shower without any frizz. My hair cut was also exactly what I asked for and he was able to fix the uneven cut I had from before. He is very fair with his prices compared to the outrageous prices other salons are charging. Overall great salon and an amazing experience. I recommend him cause I definitely will be back myself. read more

Chad is, in one word, awesome! The best keratin treatment, ever! Chad was patient and very thorough with my ultra frizzy hair. He spent a good four hours on a Sunday evening for an appt that he booked last minute for me due to my upcoming trip. No more flat ironing for me!! My hair is frizz free and looks awesome with just a little leave in conditioner (don't need boat loads of product anymore!) Thank you, Chad!! read more

Recently moved to SF and needed to find a hair stylist. I'm very picky about my hair and it is difficult to manage. Found Chad on yelp and I believe I just found my hair stylist :) absolutely love my keratin complex treatment and my hair cut. Thanks Chad - no one is allowed to come near my hair except you moving forward :) and you can't beat the prices. Got a long term hair stylist- mission accomplished definitely book an appt with Chad- you won't regret it. read more

Chad has been handling my hair for 5 years now, and I've always been very impressed. He is a true artist who knows his craft and takes his time. I've come to Chad with avant-garde style photos, for clean-cut side parts, and with no idea at all of what I wanted. Each time I have left more than satisfied. Beyond hair, Chad is a great guy and pleasant to be around. Highly recommended! read more

I purchased a Groupon and called to make the appointment, left a message. He doesn't have the common courtesy to call back. Now reading these reviews I see he moved to Florida. Wth? read more
