This is a beautiful salon. Emily is a wonderful colorist. I randomly got matched with Johnny for a blowout and was very positively surprised. Very high quality and fast service, which I appreciate. read more

5 stars. Jon Ryan is my go-to guy. I have had him as my stylist for more than 10 rears. He listens, has great stories and delivers beautiful cuts. read more

Great cut & best post-cut styling ever from Chelsea! Lovely atmosphere & peppermint tea.

My mom & I decided to try a new salon, which brought us here. Booking an appointment is easy & the staff were very nice. Unfortunately we were both disappointed with the different stylists we used. Concerning my haircut, it was difficult to style because of the cut & my hair was cut in blunt layers. What I had asked for I did not receive so I went somewhere else. I had to cut a significant amount of my length off so my hair could have softer, more blended layers. This was disappointing considering that I spent a few years growing it out. read more

Moved to the neighborhood and walked past this salon almost daily. I finally decided I needed to book a haircut and Kris Estrada-Pozzi was fantastic! Not only super friendly but gave my long overdue haircut a perfect refresh. She was very thoughtful about the whole process, including which shampoo to use given the rainy weather. I can't wait to come back for a shorter fresh spring cut! read more

Charles W Thomas Salon - Haircut - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

Simply, I must say WOW. Chelsea S. has caught my eye! From one professional, and successful, woman to another, I give Chelsea my largest recommendation. From my first experience, to my now sole appointed hairdresser, I have never felt so safe and confident to have someone help me with my hair. Chelsea has an eye for personalism and listened what I want. Each appointment we thoroughly discussed my current hair status and what my realistic hair goals would be. I feel so comfortable in her chair and believe the feeling is reciprocated. Chelsea's skill and expertise makes her an unmatched professional in the Pacific Heights district. read more

Best salon in SF hands down! The team is so talented and literally everyone is great! read more

Justina did it again! The last time I came to Justina a year ago! I usually let my color fade out until it's absolutely necessary for me to get it done again. That's just a testament to how long Justina's work can last. I keep forgetting the feeling I get once I get my hair done so thank you Justina for reminding me why I should get it done more often :) LOVE IT. read more

Charles W Thomas Salon - Love your work Justina! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

The review is for Jon Ryan. Jon is a true artist and professional. I came to Jon over a year ago with over-processed hair. He somehow restored the health of my hair and gives me highlights that continue to look fresh months later. I don't know how he does it! Also Jon is hilarious and great to talk to. I always look forward to my appointments with Jon! read more

They need to replace Justina with another blonde expert. If you scroll through instagram you can see the warm, strawberry blondes they are doing now. If you go all the way down to Feb 28, 2019, you can see the last blonde posted that was any good, and it was Justina. She is now in Miami. Every blonde after that has red in it. Or is drab and not a $300 head of lights. Pity. In that neighborhood you'd think they would be blonde specialists, but no. read more

This review is for Justina, who is AMAZING! I met Justina a little over a year ago when I decided to shake up my usual hair routine and try something new. I came in with plans to go from my every 6 week highlight to a less high maintenance style of balayage (so glad I made this decision!) I saw Justina for an initial consultation and shared what I was looking for with some pictures. She gave me the color run down (she really knows her stuff!) gave me an estimate of price, and walked me through how often I would have to schedule upkeep. Fast forward a week later and I came in for my appointment. Justina was so sweet and friendly the entire time I was there (I have TONS of hair so it was quite a project for her). I was blown away with the results- exactly what I was going for! I had shown her about 5 different pictures and she nailed it. She's great with color and was extremely thorough and patient (I didn't feel like she was rushing me out of the seat) and for those who get balayage this can take awhile. Justina wrapped up by blowdrying and styling my hair! Long story short, it's been well over a year and I'm so happy with Justina. My hair comes out consistent every time and she works magic with color, especially for blondes! She also offers the best (honest) advice in terms of keeping my hair healthy! Highly recommend Justina!! read more

Went to Johnny for a blowout and it was perfection. Lasted for days! He has a chill, low key vibe that shouldn't be mistaken for disinterest. I really appreciated how much he listened to what I wanted and delivered. This could turn into a habit! read more

I had a really great experience at this salon yesterday. From scheduling with Tess to my actual appointment with Max, I was impressed with their friendliness, helpfulness and just overall customer service. A coworker referred me here because I was looking for an outdoor haircut option in the city. They're doing indoor cuts now too, but were happy to accommodate me outside when I asked for it. The outdoor space is tented, with real salon chairs and mirrors. Max did some real magic on my wayyyy overgrown COVID-era hair. He gave it a really nice shape (which is crucial with curly hair!) and my curls look super refreshed. Thank you, Max! read more

I followed Allison Cadrette here- she is the best! Every time I see Allison, she makes my fine, straight hair look thick, healthy, and bouncy. She's also a great person and I always enjoy our chats. Salon is lovely too- relaxing, modern vibe in a nice neighborhood. read more

I've never loved my hair more than I have since Justina started doing it! She's an incredible colorist- I don't know much about hair and she's so great at interpreting exactly what I want even though I'm not very good at explaining! She just knows. Not only do I leave the salon with my hair looking amazing every time- it grows in beautifully too because she's so skilled at making it look natural and effortless. She's the sweetest, always so kind and genuine, and gives me great advice on products and keeping my hair at its healthiest. The salon is a beautiful, classy space. I enjoy every visit here and I can't wait to come back! read more

Pretty primp ! Love love love this new salon absolutely stunning and great location in Presidio Heights. Such a treat. As gorgeous as a salon is the best part of it is JON... Fabulous master of cut and color. My favorite day of the month is getting hair done. Thank you Jon! If you're looking for a new salon or just looking to upgrade to a new hairstylist go immediately you'll be happy you did...Jon is the Best!! read more

See all

Really lovely salon. I would follow Jackson anywhere! Wait, I have! Love the art shows they have and the calm, relaxing feeling you get when you walk in the door. Great neighborhood. Make it a day; get your hair done, have lunch, do a bit of shopping! read more

Followed my long time stylist here but won't be going back. VERY pricey and at the same time poor customer service. The space is average in my opinion. read more

This has been my salon for some time now, Justina is absolutely the best I've found all around. Her color is alway spot on, she has an eye for what tones look good based on skin color, one's natural hair inclination, style preferences, etc. and her balayage techniques are exceptional. My hair is never damaged, and I get endless compliments from random people about my hair. She's simply the best! read more

If you love your hair, do not have Chelsea cut it. My apologies to this salon. I think all colorist and hair designers are just fabulous. CHELSEA needs to go back to "Super Cuts". I cannot emphasize enough. She left my hair lopsided. I want to post pictures, but I'm so angry that I can't even upload the picture. I'm okay if it were Super Cuts, but this is high end place who has hired a bottom of the totem poll. In addition, she was so distracted cutting my hair, I almost told her perhaps I need to reschedule. Please do not book with this person. read more

Gorgeous new salon in Presidio Heights. Lindsey (the owner) has both cut and styled my hair and she does amazing work. It's a great addition to the neighborhood. read more

Walked in on a whim to see if I could get a last-minute blowout. The atmosphere was Leif Lee and fun but alas, no appointments. The gal at the front desk kindly checked their new salon at 10:50 O'Farrell and I had an appointment within 20 minutes! Raced over to the new location to find a gorgeous interior and a lovely young woman named Allison who did my hair. She was fantastic, friendly and skilled and I will definitely be going back! read more

Every stylist at this salon is amazing! I have seen Jon, Justina, Betty, and Lindsay and they are all equally incredible at what they do. Booking an appointment is a very quick process and they even got me in last minute before a trip. You must go here and you will be in great hands with any stylist. They really listen to your vision and bring it to life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! read more

I dreamt about it! Lindsay does the best blonde color and cut in the city! My hair always looks natural and she knows just the cut for my face. My husband also gets his haircut by Lindsay and his hair is wavy and thick- she is simply the best! I also tried the keratin treatment with Bridget and my hair has never felt healthier or looked shinier- I am so happy I was able to get in! read more

I walked into this beautiful salon yesterday after a blah dye job at another salon that left me looking in the mirror every day not feeling like myself. Akemi was warm and professional, and set the tone for my experience. She introduced me to Jon, who immediately diagnosed the issues, and swiftly transformed my hair with a great cut and color when we met today. I am so happy with my hair. His work really saved my upcoming trip. As echoed elsewhere here, Jon is a total professional with years of experience and confidence. I don't know a better way to say this last piece without being broadly dismissive of some other salons -- but this salon feels more grown up than some of the well reviewed salons I've visited in SF -- the ones that seem to trade more in Instagram backdrops and then have a drastic variance in stylist experience and skill. I'm so glad to have found this team, and will definitely be back. read more

I've been coming to this salon for about 2 years, and it's beautiful! The people that work here are so kind. I've gone to Justina for color 3-4 times and it always turns out beautiful whether I'm going light or dark. Jason cuts my hair, which is not an easy task to do as I have thick, long hair. My hair always looks amazing, and it feels soft for weeks. I'd highly recommend coming here! read more

Where to begin. My friend recommended that I try this place. I'm not usually that into investing in my hair, but it was a special occasion so I thought I'd try it. I was paired with Justina and she gave me the best experience. I didn't really know what I wanted and we talked through what my would look best. I was so happy with the result and she even taught me how to style it nicely as it grew out. I couldn't recommend Justina higher. read more

I see Justina Der for my color (blonde highlights/balayage). When I first started seeing her, she worked her magic to color correct me from a grey blonde to a creamy blonde. Not only is it very apparent she knows what she's doing/talking about, she knows what's best for your hair and knows what colors from which you should stay away. Justina is a complete professional and fun to talk to while she's processing your hair. Don't even get me started on the head massage while getting your shampoo... it's amazing and her blowouts are to die for! read more

Just got my hair colored for the first time! Jon was amazing! He understood exactly what I wanted and made sure I was happy with the final outcome. His customer service is amazing! It's definitely a new look for me but I'm getting non stop compliments!! I don't know if I'll be going back to my previous jet black hair anytime soon but I know I'll be going to see Jon for any coloring or cuts! read more

I love love this salon! It's been a while since I've been looking for a good hair salon I can stick with and I've finally found it! I see Nathan for haircuts and Justina for color and blowouts. They are both amazing!!! I love Nathan as he is very precise, takes his time to pay attention to details. My husband also sees him for haircuts and we both love his work! Justina is great with color, she's the first stylist to do my hair color the way I've always wanted! She's always on time, cares to hear what you're looking for and make that happen! Love her! I have a lot of hair and not necessarily easy to have the right color done, but she did exactly what I wanted and I'm very happy! read more

Justina - wow. I just moved to the Bay Area and was referred to Justina from a new friend. I am always skeptical of new hair stylists, but I'm so so happy I took a jump and went to Justina at Charles W Thomas. Not only did she fix my yellow, brassy hair, she made me feel like a total boss with healthy hair. She also gave me recommendations on how to make my hair feel thicker and get the nutrients it needs. Thank you, Justina. You are the balayage QUEEN! read more

I had the pleasure of having my hair saved by Denise Devoe from a horrendous haircut or butcher job at a different hair salon. I came out with the cutest, easy to style (IMPORTANT) haircut that I haven't put in a bun once because it's so cute. Anyway, thank you Denise for saving my hair so I don't feel ugly anymore. Also can I just say the hair salon in general is in a very good location with good parking and the inside is spacious and beautifully decorated because that's also important and underrated. read more

This new salon is BEAUTIFUL! From the almond milk latte they offered me when I walked in, to the light filled room and easy to talk to talented stylists, I plan to return often! I have visited for color, cuts and blowouts and have been very pleased with all services received. I always trust any recommendations from Lindsay who has gotten my hair to its best color ever. I also got a blowout/style from Courtney who did an amazing job! Highly recommend :) read more

Love this chic newer salon in Presidio Heights! I booked a much needed cut in time for the holidays and Lindsay did an amazing job listening to what I wanted done and balancing my ask with what she also thought would look great. I have a ton of hair and she perfectly inserted just the right layers at the bottom to give my hair the bounce it needed while also making it look and feel so much lighter! The entire team there is super friendly/helpful and also got the best heavenly shampoo experience from Bridget. This will definitely be my go-to salon from here... read more

I absolutely am in love with this Salon. The ambiance and vibes are so chic and classy. My color specialist Justina is incredible and I am always happy with the results! Also Nathan, I can't say enough he does a phenomenal job at cutting/styling my hair. I followed them from their previous salon and I will forever follow them anywhere. read more

Lindsay is great. She saved my life the day before my wedding (forgot to put a haircut on my to-do list), fixing me up with a last-minute walk-in. Have been coming here since. Jonathan is excellent too. Highly recommend. read more

Lindsay is an awesome hair stylist! I highly recommend going here. My hair hadn't been cut in months and Lindsay shaped up my style in no time. She is very sweet, talented and runs the place well. It's a trendy place to visit. So glad this spot opened up in the neighborhood! I'll be a regular here for sure. read more

My mom was constantly singing Daniel's praises and convinced me to go to him after a particularly bad haircut from another hairstylist (in her defense it was right after the second time hair salons got shut down during COVID and she was probably a little off her game). I made my appointment the day of my maternity pictures so I could kill two birds with one stone and fix my prior unfortunate cut and get it styled/blown out. I could immediately see why my mom hyped Daniel up so much because he was lovely. He wouldn't negatively critique the work of the previous stylist, which was very classy, but rather pointed out how we could get some shape back into it. I have A LOT of hair but he didn't appear too intimidated by it and gave me a phenomenal haircut. It's been 4 months and it still looks great. The salon is in a particularly boujee neighborhood of SF and the prices reflect that, but it's worth it. read more

Love this new salon! Super chic- great service! Courtney is really talented and is my go - to girl when I'm in SF. I live part time in NYC and have patronized top salons for years (Frederic Fekkai, Sally Hershburger) - this salon is every bit as good. Book Courtney in advance as she has clients in LA, and is not always here. This salon is a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Gorgeous salon and top quality services!! A lovely experience since the minute you walk in. Love it!
