Twenty years with the same hairdresser says it all, but I'll say more anyway. Cliff gives me perfect, natural color and cuts with beautiful movement--glamorous but easy to maintain, which is exactly what I need. He's fast and precise, and his space is a joy to be in: great music, great conversation. What sets him apart is range. He does wardrobe styling and makeup too, and he styled and photographed my professional headshots in 2021. Those photos have done serious work for my online presence. Pricing is more than fair for what you get. If you're looking for someone who actually listens and delivers, this is your person. read more

Clifford Style Beauty - Hair and makeup - Makeup Artists Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

After going to the same hairstylist for nearly 20 years, I was honestly nervous to try someone new -- but taking a chance on Clifford Style was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Cliff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely intelligent in the way he approached my hair. He really listened, understood exactly what I wanted (even better than I could articulate), and delivered the most incredible haircut I have ever had. I have extremely long and thick hair and a lot of it and he was able to manage it seamlessly! The moment I left the chair, I felt different -- instant confidence. My hair had movement, shape, and a polish I didn't even know I was missing. The best part? People at work kept telling me I was glowing. That's how transformative this cut was. I am beyond pleased. It's the kind of haircut you can't fully describe -- you just feel it. Safe to say, I will never go anywhere else again. Thank you, Cliff. Truly exceptional. read more

Clifford Style Beauty - Makeup Artists Near Me - San Francisco, California

Every time I go to Clifford, I leave the salon feeling beautiful and light. He gives my hair movement and shine, and I get a spring in my step! I have been coming to Clifford regularly for more than a decade. In that time, he has guided me through many different phases with my hair, and the decisions that go along with it: curtain bangs, long hair, a bob, side-swept bangs, a keratin treatment for smoothing, a pixie cut... Looking back, it's been a journey, and he's *the* trusted advisor. He has helped me incorporate classic looks, trends, and my own impulses with my hair, while always keeping me feeling current and modern. He knows how to work with your natural features (e.g. face shape, skin tone) to bring out your best attributes. He's also a sweet person who is very knowledgeable, and cares about your hair and keeping it healthy for the long term. I trust Clifford to the extent that I sent my mom to him as a gift when she was in town a few years ago. She came back with an amazing color that was perfect for her complexion, and a beautiful cut. She still talks about Clifford and how beautiful he made her feel. So... all that to say... I recommend Clifford highly! read more

While on my search for a formaldehyde-free keratin treatment I came across Cezanne treatment, however, many salons in the Bay Area didn't offer that specific brand so upon further research I read Pura Luxe is another great option. Browsing through every salon and review in the Bay Area for Pura Luxe, there weren't a lot of places that offered this until I came across Clifford Style Beauty! Booking an appointment was a breeze and can all be done online. What I love is that he is open on Mondays, which seems to be abnormal for hair salons! I came in this past Monday to get my treatment, and Clifford was thorough with explaining the process. I'm a frequent keratin treatment gal, so I know what to expect from the results. His salon was gorgeously decorated (especially his animal hooks), and he offers coffee, mints, and chocolate. He sure knows how to provide hospitality as he had a mini ipad set up ready to watch any shows or movies I wanted (ad free I might add.) Considering the treatment took 2.5 hours, I watched 2 episodes of a show he recommended based on me telling him I love Law & Order SVU and now he got me onto a new show! Even when I moved to the steamer, he brought me a stool to put my legs up!! The 2.5 hrs flew right by, and it's been 2 days since the treatment (without washing it yet), and my hair isn't matte flat, stinky, or greasy, looking as with other treatments. I'm hoping these results last just as long as my previous treatments, as I definitely will be back! read more

I got a haircut from Clifford at his studio salon space. The space was clean, decorated, and overall had a nice vibe that you'd expect from a pro who cares about making their clients feel welcome. I had booked my first appointment with him through Classpass, which was super easy to do. I felt Clifford was thoughtful with my haircut and we had a great conversation throughout. I had long hair that was way overdue for a cut and needed it to look polished and fresh, and that's what I got! Really happy with my results and would recommend you try out Clifford's services the next time you're looking for a haircut. (He also does makeup and hair color!) read more

Clifford is super sweet, he definitely has a passion for all things beauty. He does hair, makeup and styling with an overall theme of woman empowerment. Love the location of his studio and how it's decorated... he also has a TV that plays current runway fashion shows (if you're into that). He makes you feel like a million bucks and will talk through his thought process while cutting your hair. I really liked knowing what was going on especially because I used to always feel bad for asking questions, but- he completely eliminated that fear. I used a Yelp coupon that saved me $25 the first time I went. I can't wait to go back and be pampered again! Highly recommend him! read more

Clifford Style Beauty - Clifford taught me how to curl my hair for a quick "going out" look at the end of my appointment. Loving my long bob (Lob). - Makeup Artists Near Me - San Francisco, California

i was visiting Clifford for styling while my regular stylist was out due to a knee replacement. Much like i do with my stylist, I let Clifford style as he felt that day..every style looked phenomenal, so whether i was going on a date, or it was just a rainy Wednesday night, I looked amazing. Clifford is not only a great stylist, but the utmost professional. Not once did he mention the oddity of my grown out a-line bob. i would (and will) definitely return to him for cut and color (and posibly even his makeup and wardrobe services!) read more

Saw Clifford again in his new (AWESOME) location! He was just as AMAZING as the last time. When I got home I noticed one little thing that kind of bothered me. He fixed it ASAP-even met me there on a Sunday! Clifford is a class act, and so talented! read more

I've been seeing Clifford for over six years now, and thought it would be a good time to update my review. In short, Clifford is still my go-to hair guy. Last year, I went to a Japanese salon by my house thinking they'd know Asian hair. My hair was unruly yet so flat afterwards! I had to schedule a fix-it cut with Clifford to get my hair to behave. Then recently, I went in for a trim but Clifford had other ideas. My hair was halfway down my back and he chopped it off to shoulder-length so that it flipped outwards on my natural wave. After my appointment, I was at the bus stop waiting for the bus back to the office and a random guy drove up hill by the bus shelter bumping Drake's Nice For What, stopped in the middle of the hill, and blatantly checked me out at the bus shelter, then drove up the rest of the hill. If that isn't a complement to Clifford's skill I don't know what is (that, and the nonstop compliments I received and continue to receive about my new cut). Thanks Clifford! read more

I've had Clifford do my hair & makeup a couple of times for special occasions and he is awesome at making a gal "red carpet ready". Not that I'm going down a red carpet, but you know when you need that added bit of confidence....accompanying the husband to a college reunion.....things like that? Terrific! I was so pleased recently when I worked with him on shopping and wardrobe selection for a weekend long business event. It was a pleasure to whiz through stores and get a lesson in "what to wear". He knew where all the good deals were around Union Square AND what would look good on me, so we were able to do it very quickly (thank god, because I hate shopping) and efficiently. Looking forward to my next adventure with Clifford! read more

Clifford did my hair & makeup for my wedding last year, as well as doing the hair of my entire bridal party. Although we did end up looking great, his "bedside manner" leaves a lot to be desired, unfortunately. He was completely stressed out, nervous and snappish. He got annoyed at every little thing (even asked me not to watch him work, while I was sitting in front of a MIRROR!) and would not stop rolling his eyes, sighing & generally acting all put out. My bridal party all remarked that he did a beautiful job, but had a horrible attitude. If you don't mind having your hair done by a tempermental diva, Clifford is your man, but I will never be going back. Plenty of stylists do a great job on hair/makeup and still manage to smile & be pleasant. I'd look elsewhere if I were you...especially for a special event and/or if you want to feel pampered. read more

I absolutely LOVE the way he cut my hair. Cliff cut 16 inches for me which I was able to donate :) I have very thick straight Asian hair and he was able to thin it out and layer it in a way where it didn't seem choppy or look like a mullet. My hair feels so light. And he definitely guided me on a few tips on how to curl my hair, how to part it a certain way to get more volume, and so forth :) oh and it comes with a wash. Super friendly guy and will listen to all your needs. Make sure to use the coupon! I couldn't ask for a better cut and definitely not at $55. Right now it's a bit hard to maintain because my hair I guess is still in a small state of shock of not being so heavy.. (I lost two pounds from cutting my hair) that it tends to flip outwards. :( but he taught me how to blow dry my hair so it doesn't do that. But I'm seriously a low Maintenace girl, so sometimes I just let it do whatever :P lol. But overall, he did an AMAZING job and I absolutely loved it. He knew how much I wanted to curl my hair so he walked me through on how to curl my hair while he curled it for me :) Follow the address and you'll see a lot of hair stylists, and massage places, and makeup artist.. They each have their own little room. Just walk a few doors down and he's on the left :) read more

I walked out of Clifford's to go to the Farmer's Market after my haircut, and this motorcyclist was staring at me as he was turning and he wobbled and had to do some quick recovery. That's the power of Clifford's cuts. read more

I was so lucky when Clifford gave a demonstration in the building I work in because I discovered a stylist who actually tries to make my hair look beautiful! I went to another ritzy salon downtown a few years ago and I felt like they were giving the same haircut to everyone, even if it didn't work. Clifford gave me a hairstyle that works for my hair and he told me exactly what I need to do to make it look great without his help. For fun, this year I decided to get my hair styled and makeup done to feel extra special ringing in the new year. I asked him to do something that wouldn't be too fancy for a casual night and he exceeded my expectations. My hair looked great all day and night. My husband and I went out to dinner at a place we frequent and the staff there swarmed around our table gushing over my hair. As for the makeup, I loved it. It was the first time I had my makeup done by someone without looking like a clown....he got it JUST right. He made my eyes really open up and he made my skin look fresh and blemish-free (which it is certainly not). I cannot recommend Clifford enough. I read through some of the negative reviews on here and I noticed that they were mostly written by brides getting their wedding makeup done (without doing the trial first!!!). Judging from my own experience with Clifford, my suspicion is that these ladies did not take the time to explain what they wanted him to do for them. He never did my makeup before and he got it exactly right because I communicated my wishes to him. read more

Clifford is absolutely amazing. I walked out looking like I just stepped out of a shampoo commercial. My hair was bouncing and I couldn't stop looking at my reflection in the windows as I walked away. (also saw a few heads turn while I walked by as well) I'm a your average SF young professional who works too much, sleeps too little, and doesn't take care of herself enough. Clifford is not only a true professional in his field (resume of new york runways and hollywood actresses) but he can also make the normal everyday person look great. He gave me a great color and haircut but the best thing he did was show me a few easy tips so that I could do it myself. He's so open and friendly about passing on knowledge, you can tell that he really just loves what he does and really enjoys helping people look their best. While we were waiting for my color, he even gave me a quick makeup tutorial. That was the day I learned that makeup's best use is to make you look natural, fresh, and awake. I'm sure he could also glam it up but the "awake" look is really what I need on a day to day bases. Quick little things that make a big difference. Best stylist I've ever been to, strong recommendation. For your reference, I'm a Asian female, am sure he does good work on all races given his extensive background. read more

Had my hair cut by Clifford and I will say that it was an enjoyable experience. He is very professional, friendly and does a good job with customer service. I spent over an hour with Clifford and it really seemed like 15 minutes, as we chatted about his colorful life, his past and future goals, the economy, etc. Ambiance: Clifford runs his business in a private room inside of Acme Head and Body, it's a cute spot, very stylishly decorated, he plays pop music and he serves flavored sparkling water in a glass. Really cute touches. Haircut: I think it came out looking pretty good. He cut it exactly as I asked, an asymmetrical sleek bob. One thing I noticed is, my 2 previous hair stylists would continue shaping and refining my style once the cut and blow dry is complete. Clifford didn't do this. On one hand I felt strange because it has been a really long time since I've gotten a cut without further trimming/thinning/layering. On the other hand, the cut does look quite good and it feels thick and healthy. I am still trying to figure out if I like this better... Price: Clifford charges about the same rate that my hair stylist in Newport Beach charges for a haircut ($95). It's pricey for the average joe, but in my opinion, the haircut is critical in determining how good someone looks and therefore how good they feel about their looks. A fabulous haircut is priceless. Does Clifford give a fabulous haircut? Possibly, the reason I say this is because consistency is important, I can't know for sure until I've experienced Clifford's services multiple times. One thing I will say is that I'll definitely come back next time to find out. Until we meet again... P.S. Clifford specializes in long hair, so if you want your hair shorter than shoulder length, he's not the man for you. read more

It was an honor to have Clifford Hashimoto, makeup and hair artist to the stars, do my wedding makeup and hair. Appropriately priced, Clifford worked his magic to enhance me. Every time I walk out of his salon, I feel like a Hollywood movie star. And I kid you not, after a hair and makeup trial with him, a complete stranger actually did approach me to ask me if I was a Hollywood actress. I looked absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day. And I owe it to Clifford who knew exactly what to do. Follow up: He cut my hair after the wedding--a super chic, Anne Hathaway bob. I swear, movie star worthy. read more

Several girlfriends have been to see Clifford, and each and every one of them has come back from seeing him looking better than ever. Clifford has lots of experience in helping women look better, and has helped thousands of woman, and quite a few men, make the best of their looks, with his enhancement. The best thing about Clifford is that he can do expert makeup, amazing hair, and help put you into clothes that show you off well. He's worked with the famous, no names dropped, and is a local star. read more

Clifford is absolutely amazing, very professional and attentive. His blowout lasted several days. He gives you small "lessons" while he styles your hair- he was the stylist for the first Victoria's Secret show- )) read more

Clifford Style Beauty - Makeup Artists Near Me - San Francisco, California

I finally found an AMAZING hair stylist in SF after looking for 5 years! Clifford is so professional, he makes you feel welcomed and takes the time to discuss with you what haircut he thinks is best for you within your comfort zone :-D He also understands long hair very well and doesn't cut more than agreed, which has been my struggle throughout the years ‍. The styling is also a 5 star as he takes his time to make your hair look its best while giving you tips on how to style it afterwards ! Bottom line, I can't believe it took me 5 years to find him but I'm glad i finally did and will be back for sure! read more

Background: My hair is coarse and thick and sometimes wavy. SF fog makes it '80's hair-metal worthy. I always wore it long because it weighed it down, but last year, I lost a lot of my hair. So, when it was growing back in, it looked a shaggy, stringy, hot mess. In December, I decided it was time to lop it all off, but going short is scary, so I yelped something along the lines of coarse, thick, frizzy hair. And, I found Clifford :) I sent him an email with a photo of my hair at its worst, a photo of my hair at its best, and a photo of Katie Holmes' cute do that I wanted him to replicate. The next day, he gave me the cut I wanted. But, because I wasn't immediately up-front about my stick-straight styling preference and because of his background styling the stars and brides, he did overglam it a bit at first (shoulders up, glam is fine, but I'm short, so from a distance, it just looks like bobble-head). On my second visit, he was very responsive to my request for sleek. I have been back twice since and am a loyal client forevermore. His salon is chic and private. He is enormously attentive to detail. His staff is friendly. His passion is making women look their very best, and even though he doesn't usually do short hair, he has still managed to give me exactly that. He is a genius. I get a compliment a day on my hair, and more when I go out. He's not cheap, but his work is worth every penny. How do you even put a price on hair that makes you look your very best? read more

I went back home to Sacramento this past weekend to visit with some friends that I haven't seen since high school and the first compliment out of their mouth's were "I love your hair". I also get compliments all the time at work and love it. Can't thank you enough!! Clifford does a fabulous job with hair and helping you learn how to style your hair. I can't thank him enough! read more

Cliff has done my hair twice so far, and I am very happy with my hairstyle. He's patient and friendly, and always willing to give advice on hair care and other suggestions. The ambience at salon is soothing and relaxing, and I would definitely recommend Cliff. read more

Clifford is no doubt the best in this industry. He has an impressive repertoire, which is easily shown through his work. I told him that I was unhappy with my dead ends from the ombre I had before, but that I was avoiding getting a haircut because I wanted to preserve my long hair -- Well of course he had a solution: he would put toner in my hair, and educated me that toner would temporarily fill the breakage in the follicle (or something like that) so I wouldn't need a cut! (And it worked!) After he finished my hair, he quickly brushed a tiny brush of makeup on my face, and no joke, I looked so good I could barely recognize myself -- I looked natural and RADIANT! Clifford educated me that in order to bring depth and color to my eyes, he just added a slight touch of warm shimmer on my lids. I had already read the reviews of people getting compliments after a visit with Clifford, and low-and-behold, after walking just ONE block from his studio someone breaks their neck to stare at me in awe and then say that I had beautiful eyes!!! HAHA Clifford is good... I'm thinking about doing a makeup lesson with him next, because I would love to learn more about which makeup tips/techniques he thinks are essential to best enhance my natural features. read more

Clifford is friendly, warm and for the first time, made me want to consider getting a ponytail-style updo! I'm always hesitant about bangs, but he convinced me to go with a long side bang which can be styled up or down and has been great for framing my face. As for the spot- Clifford's done a great job of creating a personalized space in Russian Hill and unlike some stylists who rush you out the door as soon as the next one arrives, he is polite, considerate and takes the time to review the details of what you want for your hair. When it's your turn in his chair, it's fully one-on-one and he balances pushing you to try new things (that will look great but which you may not have considered on your own) yet is never overbearing in his opinions, a great stylist to have on your side! read more

Finally found a stylist that knows how to cut and layer hair. Not only did my cut look fabulous after my appointment, it's growing out beautifully and exactly the way I had wanted (and I have a lot of hair!) Thank you Clifford for your expertise. Looking forward to seeing you next for a cut and color! read more

Clifford is extremely talented. His vast experience in the beauty & fashion industry as a whole, from hair & makeup, to wardrobe and styling amazes me and truly shows in the quality of his work. I have always been very particular about my hair, and after my first visits with Clifford, I immediately trusted him completely with my hair. He always 'gets' what I am looking for, and always suggests ideas that are best for my face shape, complexion, etc. My hair color & cut is always done perfectly, and I leave my appointments feeling amazing. I highly highly recommend Clifford. read more

I moved back to the Bay Area a year ago and have been faithful to Clifford ever since! You know those women you see walking down the street with shiny, bouncy, shampoo commercial hair? Clifford gives me that every time. His cuts are precise but allows your hair to move and his coloring techniques are fabulous. I have more and more gray coming in (yikes!) and he uses an amazing product that completely covers the gray but doesn't have that awful chemical smell (you know the one I'm talking about). Clifford also only works on one customer at a time so you get his full, undivided attention. Clifford uses an online scheduling tool so you can schedule your appointments and see his availability in real time - super convenient. He always has great music on, has tons of energy, and always takes a few extra minutes to really style your hair so that you leave feeling amazing! Clifford is also a stylist and I can't wait to have him help me choose my clothes, jewelry, shoes (and of course do my hair and makeup!) for my engagement photos! He has already shared some great ideas with me. read more

Clifford brings out the natural best in your hair and what looks good for you. Straight hair, flat hair, natural curly hair, whatever texture or issue you have he can resolve it. For the longest time I was getting stupid layered mushroom cuts to resolve my flat but wavy hair. He adjusted my misaligned part and cut my hair so that it naturally had more texture and body. Its almost like therapy, if you want a change or a refresh or just want to feel good about yourself, got get your hair cut and styled by Clifford. read more

I have been seeing Clifford for over a year now and he is very spotty with his color. Last week I saw him for blond hi lights and low lights and my hair is purple! He says it will eventually wash out-but you have got to be kidding. My friend who was seeing him stopped going because he is so hit and miss also. beware read more

I've tried many top stylists in the city and Clifford is my favorite. However, if you're looking for edgy/modern you might be better off somewhere else. He does soft, feminine, sexy hair. Just as an extra he's done some makeup on me after our hair session and it's always fabulous and he has the best tips! read more

Awful. My wedding was yesterday, but I am so livid at the thought of my experience with Clifford that I needed to write a review immediately. Everything about our wedding was beautiful and every single one of our vendors was fantastic except for Clifford. He was moody, temperamental and downright disrespectful. At the last minute, I had a request from my future mother and grandmother-in-law to have a blowout for their hair, so I asked to have them added to the roster for hair and makeup. Both of them have short, above-the-ear length hair, so you would think it should be easy enough. However, Clifford's frustration at the addition was visible - he huffed and puffed, and slammed his tools on the table. Clifford brought along two other assistants (third parties, I think), who were on the other hand, AMAZING. Raul and David were kind, upbeat, and flexible with whatever changes we had. This is what I think people in the wedding industry should be. Because of Clifford, the atmosphere of my wedding day started off terribly. Everyone was tense in the room because they were afraid to set him off. He demanded I order drinks up to the room, complained of the heat in the room (a balmy 65 degrees) and said that every other client provides food and snacks. Unbeknownst to him, we had actually already ordered food to be delivered to the room and it hadn't yet arrived, but I was shocked to have this "demanded" instead of "appreciated". What's more, my hair and makeup were awful. My biggest concern was having my eye makeup run and I told him this, but he rolled his eyes. Sure enough, within the hour I already had raccoon eyes. I was also concerned that my hair wouldn't hold through the night, so I asked him multiple times if he was sure the hairspray was enough or if the bobby pins would hold. He nodded and again, rolled his eyes. By the time we did our first look pictures, my hair had already come undone. I should have just paid my bridesmaids $500 since they fixed it all. Clifford may be be an artist, but his hairstyles are too delicate to hold for an entire wedding day and his attitude is completely unprofessional. If you want to work with him, you have to go out of your way to follow the exact schedule that's been agreed upon, keep the noise level down (he told one of my bridesmaids who was trying to make small chit chat that he prefers to work in silence), and give him no input on the style you want. I'm sorry, but for anyone planning a wedding, I think you understand that these situations are laughable. If you mention anything about the look you like/dislike, Clifford is again visibly annoyed at your input. My mother asked him if he could not make her hair so "puffy", and he snapped back "YOU JUST HAVE TO LET IT BREATHE". That's the mother of the bride, can you at least say it nicely? He also rushed through one of my bridesmaids so he could take a cigarette break. Lastly, Clifford's assistant told me that he accepted checks or cash. But when we gave him the check, he was pissed and asked why we didn't give him cash. Um, maybe you should talk to your assistant? Everything about this experience was awful. I have never had such awful service or been this appalled by someone's lack of professionalism. He was a bully and it is my one regret from our wedding day. I am kicking myself over the decision to work with him. The minute I sensed he was obnoxious (5 minutes after he arrived at our hotel room), I should have just walked away from the situation and figured something else out. Anything would have been better than dealing with him. read more

I just learned not to trust Yelp reviews that are all favorable... the hard way. With all the great reviews, I expected no less than spectacular, especially for my wedding. Because I was on a budget, I couldn't spend the extra several hundred dollars getting a trial. Instead, I went in for the wedding consultation two months before and got my hair cut and colored two weeks before the wedding to ensure he understood what I was looking for and get some practice on my hair. The coloring job was awful. He was supposed to touch up the roots. What he did was go too light and too heavy on the highlights so that there was a clear border on my hair between his highlights and the previous highlights. Plus, the color he chose was brassy when I specifically told him to avoid this. A week later, he toned down the color, but now it was a bit too dark. I should have at this point canceled my appointment with Clifford for my hair and make-up. My husband convinced me not to since we only had a week left and trying to find a good person while we still had a million things to do would add to the enormous stress. On the day of the wedding, Clifford was not in the best spirits and he actually snapped at me! All this for not giving him feedback while he's working on me (most of the time, I couldn't see anything anyway b/c I didn't have my glasses on). The worst thing is at that point, I was just resigned to his mediocre abilities. Everything I had asked him to do, which we had discussed three times now, he ignored. He doesn't listen to what you want and I, the unknowing wit, spent $400 plus a very generous tip. My friend had to touch up my make-up at the hotel! The reason why I gave him even a star was that the hair styling was not bad. I had asked him to just follow one rule, keep it high up on my head, to which he did not follow. Never again will I trust all positive Yelp reviews. P.s. He should fire his assistant Tiffany. I almost took my business elsewhere because of her (although now I wish I did). read more

Clifford has styled my hair several times--when I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding, when I desperately needed a cut and color update, and when I got married this year. I have always found him to be a true gentleman and remarkably skilled at what he does. For my wedding, he understood immediately the look I was going for--easy, soft, red-carpet curls and glamorous yet natural makeup. I wanted to look like myself, only elevated. This was exactly what Clifford delivered. I was so pleased! I also appreciate that Clifford works with a quiet confidence and so efficiently. He was able to style my hair and makeup as well as my mother's hair and makeup, my mother-in-law's hair, and my sister's hair within a couple of hours. He then volunteered to style the hair of two of my friends who were hanging out with us because he had the extra time. Everyone looked gorgeous! read more

I've been seeing Clifford for about 2 years now. My hair has always been tough to manage being thick and plentiful, and in the past would usually be tied up because it didnt look great. Now my hair is down 95% of the time because he works his freaking magic! I rarely even style it. The way he layers my hair makes it look like I style my hair everyday when in reality I don't know how to even curl it. I get so many compliments constantly. He is SO talented and experienced... not to mention easy to talk to. Also he always teaches me a few things about makeup and hair! He showed me how to curl my own hair because he really cares. And has also sent me off with some makeup on. I always leave feeling like a million bucks. Do your hair a favor and go see him!!! read more

Clifford has done my haircut and color several times and recently did my hair and makeup (and my mother and mother-in-law's) for my wedding. He is phenomenal! I can't believe how good my make-up and hair looked in all the snapshots I've seen from the wedding so far. He also has a very gentle demeanor that instantly put my wracked bridal nerves at ease. I also can't believe that his prices are so reasonable and he is so easy to schedule given that he is the stylist for Neiman Marcus and Stella McCarthy. He is a real gem! I don't think you could go wrong booking him for any major event or for just getting the basics so you look fabulous everyday. read more

I was searching for someone who really understands long curly hair and Clifford is an expert! He understood my haircut needs easily and gave me a gorgeous cut in his nicely decorate private salon. I highly recommend him for his talent, vision, and ultimately the full luxurious experience. read more

Best. Haircut. Ever. Confession - I dislike going to hairstylists and I dislike getting my hair cut., because my hair is obscenely thick and unruly. So I am extremely happy with the haircut cliff gave me. Cliff did a great job! He patiently cut and, basically, shaped my naturally big hair. He was very precise. He also fixed my eyebrows and did my makeup. I also liked his style. He is very professional and meticulous. He also doesn't chatter (yippie!) Highly recommended. read more

Cliff is simply brilliant. He is amazing with cuts and color, but where he really excels is special event styling and makeup. Seriously, girlfriends, if you let Clifford style you, you will turn heads. The sidewalk will feel like one big red carpet. Flashbulbs will pop all around you. Strangers will crane their necks to get a better look. And you'll probably end the evening with at least one marriage proposal. He's THAT good. read more

Truly the best haircut I got in my life! It's the same cut I always get, layered while keeping the length, but Clifford seemed to bring it to a whole other level!! I felt like a movie star leaving there. I'll be going to him from now on! read more
