Amazing scalp detox treatment! I decided to add on this service for a little extra self care and…read moreBianca did my life wonders. The subtle aromatherapy of the treatment paired with soft, soothing spa music took me to a place of complete relaxation and rejuvenation. Bianca makes getting your hair done such a luxurious experience, from the chilled coconut water to the ambient lighting by her chair that makes your hair and skin glow. No appointment is finished without meticulous detailing, with every strand left looking polished and perfect. She even goes as far as to show you how to style your hair yourself, and her studied techniques are always years ahead of the industry and unlike anybody else in SF. Situated in a quaint neighborhood nestled amongst the cutest bakeries and coffee shops, the experience at Studio81 is stellar from start to finish. I can't wait for my next appointment!

First time getting a cut from Bianca! And I am so happy to finally find my new hairstylists. She…read moreknew exactly what I aimed for without showing any Inspo pics. She talked me through the cut which made me very comfortable. Her salon is located in the dogpatch area and it wasn't very hard to find. There is street parking available around which made it easy. She also has the cutest dog ever that greets you as you walk in and Bianca also offers beverages as well! I definitely recommend booking an appointment with her!

The Principal Salon is a charming space. I had a major hair transformation with Erin, and I'm…read morereally grateful for her skill and professionalism. She was hella prompt, and clearly knows what she's doing. I truly love my new haircut--it was a big change and she handled it beautifully. I know it was a big job, and I really do appreciate the time and care that went into it! That said, thanks again!! All in all, a nice experience and I'm thankful for the fresh start. Hoping after a wash it feels just right. Thank you, Erin!

My first time. Booked w Jewel. She was 30 minutes late to start my appt. Then rushed and…read moreinterrupted my consultation. I wasn't done showing photos nor was I reassured or that she understood what I wanted. She interrupted my appointment to do a bang trim for someone else in the middle of it. At one point said she was 'not prepared' for my hair. Why not? That's literally her job. She cut it dry, it felt very chaotic. I found this place bc I searched for a razor cut, liked the examples of the work. I expected a wet, razor cut. Scissors are fine too. If I wanted a 'curly cut' or DRY cut I would've searched for that. Couldn't get a decent blowout which should last days this didn't even look good immediately after much less after the walk through SF fog to my car. I tipped 30 on top of the 190 starting price. So 220 total. Plus I come from the north bay and had to drive over the bridge into SF. I have waited for weeks to finally post a review because I really tried to give it a chance but I'm very unhappy I wasted over 200 and couldn't even get a good cut or blowout. My hair is curly but it doesn't need any special treatment it can be cut normally, wet, and can be worn either way, curly or smooth, with a good cut. Once again, a stylist was late, then rushed me, didn't listen, didn't deliver, wasted my time and money, and ruined years of grow out. And I'll have to go back to trimming it myself as these shattered layers grow out to recover the thickness I had. I could have done a better job myself at home. I did not hate what I came in with, i actually liked it. It just needed to be cleaned up and evened out basically. Long layers. Classic. Could not have been a more simple request. She completely overcomplicated things. No idea why she cut it dry, and I did not want that! but she didn't ask or consult me if I was OK with it or tell me ahead of time she planned to do that. But she was perfectly polite n all. Just not at all the skill level I expect of a senior stylist charging nearly 200 for a cut. For that I expect a great blowout to be no problem at all. I expect to walk out feeling confident. I have examples of great past cuts. I wish I had just walked out in the 30 minutes she made me wait. The last cut I had from someone else they were also very late and it sucks that happened yet again. Wasn't sure bc they take cc info upfront and say they charge for late cancels if it was even an option without getting charged. Ought to have been able to get a nice cut and blowout for over 200. Should not have been this complicated or difficult. Also think the so called clean/green products, maybe just don't perform as well as the ones that aren't greenwashed and just focus on performance. They did nothing to give me the moisture or the protection from fog and frizz my hair needs. And the whole time my people pleasing, introvert self was just saying oh yeah thats fine no problem oh yeah cool sounds good i trust you yeah i love it its great thanks! smh Not at all the experience I was paying for, to actually feel pampered and not have to do this job myself. I could've done it myself and been happy with it. I wouldn't have done what she did to my hair myself. the location also leaves much to be desired but thats SF in general the local bums and crazies are to be expected. the search for a stylist that will deliver professional service and results? sadly continues.

Veer and Wonder is my go-to for the most stylish, comfortable haircut in San Francisco. The vibe is…read morehigh-end but relaxed, and everyone is genuinely welcoming. Special thanks to Connie, who cuts my hair--she's precise, thoughtful, and consistent every time. I also appreciate Brian, Ziggy, and Lola--great people who make the whole experience easy and enjoyable. If you want a cut that looks sharp without the attitude, this is the place. I always walk out feeling dialed-in and confident.

Ziggy saved my hair!!! Really. Not only he saved it, but he gave me a really cute modern bob, and…read morepatiently showed me how to work the brush and blow dryer so that I could maintain the style. I walked in with a full head of thick frizzy hair, that was in desperate need of attention. Ziggy managed to free my hair of excess product build up, and kept me calm and entertained while he expertly divided my hair into sections, and sculpt it into a style that complimented the shape of my head. He introduced me to a different shampoo and hair smoother that I am feeling very optimistic about. I'm going to see how well I can maintain the techniques that he showed me. It was a very satisying experience.

I recently started coming to Honeycomb to see my stylist Nikko. The salon is tucked away behind a…read morelovely patio in Noe Valley and has a really quaint ambiance about it. The light was lovely and it was super relaxing being in the space. Everyone is super friendly and inviting. I've been seeing Nikko since the summer and am so pleased with his level of professionalism. He is extremely detailed and takes the time to really understand his clients and their needs. Cuts are done with a lot of precision and he'll make sure you don't walk out with any uneven bits. This is something I greatly appreciate! And colour... let's just say Nikko and I have been on a colour journey together! I originally came to him after trying out a new colourist. My hair had been bleached and I was desperate to get back to my brunette self. Nikko worked tirelessly towards getting my hair back to my desired colour/tone without damaging it. I really appreciate how knowledgeable he is and how much he truly cares. Nikko is the utmost professional and never disappoints!

I would say don't go there but if my experience is typical they won't let you book an appointment…read moreanyway. I tried multiple ways through multiple channels to book a consultation with a stylist but their website doesn't support that appointment type and their phone number doesn't accept messages. So I just booked an appointment and assumed they had a system for setting up consultations before the appointment. Instead I just got a text that my appointment was canceled since I didn't have a consultation first. Even after multiple texts with the salon manager they simply would not let me book an appointment or a consultation with my desired stylist even though she does work there. Simply the worst customer service experience imaginable. Follow up: just to note that the salon manager's response is false. My appointment was cancelled before any communication took place. I was never offered an opportunity to schedule an appointment with my desired stylist--the only person at the salon who works with my hair type. (Curly girls know this is all too familiar!) There were so many opportunities to make this right but unfortunately both customer service and accountability are sorely lacking here

I look back at pictures of my hair when I was in my Mishi era and the cut was on point and framed my face perfectly. The color always complimented my skin tone and was blended perfectly. She is one of the few stylists that does a true balayage and not the teasing technique. I worked across the street and would pop over to get a beautiful blow out and sometimes even a side braid. My hair was so unique and cute! Her sister Emi is super talented too. Mishi, you are the bomb.com. Miss you!

Until 2021 when I started going to this salon. Carmen is just incredible with finding the right color for you. And Alex is truly the best at giving you a haircut that matches your expectations and your hair texture. He listens and starts cutting your hair dry, washes it and perfects the cut before blow drying your hair. He's a perfectionist and you can tell he went to a top school. It's a truly French experience! You always walk out with what you expected and the experience is consistent. This is really hard to find so I would rate this salon as the gem of San Francisco!

I highly recommend following the salon and her (icbeauuty) on instagram for inspo pics. On top of it all, she's so personable and fun to be around! The salon itself is adorable and in such a cute area. There's so much to do before and after your appointment if you want to make a day of it. Could not recommend Brooke and Monarch enough!
