We've been going to Natalie for years, and she is truly amazing. Every time we leave her chair, we…read morefeel beautiful, refreshed, confident, and completely taken care of. Last weekend she once again did an incredible job with our haircuts, color, and styling, and we couldn't be happier. Natalie is not only incredibly talented, but also so thoughtful, detail-oriented, professional, and genuinely caring. She always takes the time to listen and somehow knows exactly what will look best. On top of that, she's just such a joy to spend time with. If you're looking for an amazing stylist in the Bay Area, we cannot recommend her enough. She's the absolute best!

My daughter received services from Natalie for highlights and root correction. I was charged around…read more$600 for the service. The appointment lasted less than two hours, which is significantly shorter than the typical time required for this type of work. While Natalie was polite and professional in her demeanor, the results did not match expectations. The highlights were very subtle, and the roots remained noticeably dark. My daughter initially said she liked the result, but later clarified she felt uncomfortable expressing dissatisfaction in the moment. I reached out to Natalie after the appointment to address the outcome. She stated that the highlights would become more noticeable over time, which has not been the case. It has now been two months, and there has been no meaningful change in the results. I attempted to follow up again but did not receive a response. Given the cost and the minimal visible improvement, this was a disappointing experience.

I asked for 3 things at the beginning: 1. I need my hair to…read morebe long enough to put up into a hair tie 2. No layers 3. No thinning Quy failed to do all 3 things! Not only did she considerably thin my hair, but she also cut a thick 1 inch layer at the base of my neck! When I try to put my hair up, it won't go into my hair tie, and it looks hideous! It makes me feel bad every day, and it will take me a long time to grow out.

I'm so happy with how my hair turned out! Quy did an amazing job not only with the cut and layers,…read morebut also with my hair color -- it looks so natural and shiny. She really took the time to listen to what I wanted, and made sure every detail was perfect. Plus, she's super nice, friendly, and made me feel very comfortable during the whole appointment. My hair feels soft, healthy, and I've already gotten so many compliments. Highly recommend Quy if you want beautiful results with great service I'll definitely be coming back!

Really happy with my haircut at Essence Salon with Yessenia!…read more Booked a haircut appointment with Yessenia through the website for a Tuesday afternoon. I asked for a rounded haircut with lots of layers and face-framing pieces and I showed her my inspo photos as well. She first washed my hair and then got started on the cut. Yessenia did an amazing job! She was friendly and professional and gave me exactly what I requested. I wasn't sure whether to go with lighter or heavier curtain bangs/face-framing pieces, and she knew exactly what would suit me when she suggested sticking with lighter face framing. She also somehow managed to style my frizzy Indian hair perfectly without using much tension on the brush, which was shocking to me. Overall, I had a very positive experience with Yessenia and Essence Salon and will definitely be returning!

I have been going to Loan for 15 years following her through several moves. Monica Foster has a…read morewonderful front desk receptionist and makes the salon feel very comfortable. Loan has cut, shaped, colored and highlighted my hair through many hairstyles and I couldn't be happier with her services. She's down to earth and has a cute personality. Give her and Monica Foster a try. You won't be sorry.

As previously mentioned, I got a blowout from Jade for a wedding I was a brides maid for. I was…read morevery excited to be able to book with Jade as she consistently delivers the most perfect results. Jade was super kind and helpful with styling and suggested waves. The waves stayed all day (picture at end of day shown, selfie from beginning of day) which has never happened for my hair when I style it myself since it's so heavy. I have never gotten so many compliments in my life on my hair, and I felt really beautiful! Thank you Jade! I would trust Jade 1000% for any event/occasion with my hair.

I was worried I might fry my hair off but Lynn made sure that it looked nice and stayed healthy. Lynn is really well versed and experienced with dying and bleaching hair. She is so patient. She takes time with the consultation to learn about what you're looking for and teach you about what you can do with your hair. I love it. It lets her clients make informed decisions. The vibes are great. Love watching shows while getting my hair cut or just chatting with her. My favorite that I've seen at her salon is "somebody feed Phil".

Last night, 7:45pm, my devastated child came home with the absolutely worst ever haircut- we just…read morecouldn't believe our eyes, and there were so many tears! He just wanted it shorter around the ear- how could that be misunderstood??? It was a true emergency, because there was no way I would let my child go through the humiliation of going to school the next day like that. It was really THAT bad! I started dialing and hoping some kind person would understand and help us, but who would ever take someone after 8pm, and that was IF we could get someone to answer our call at 7:50pm. That is when i called Like salon, and this angel named Tracy answered and listened to our situation. It takes a very kind person to decide to help total strangers who were asking her to stay past closing time and take a brand new client, and that is the person Tracy is. We've all had a bad haircut at least once in our lives, but this was far worse, and it would take a very experienced person to somehow salvage what was left of my child's hair, and cut it into something that looked at least like a normal haircut. We knew it would mean having to cut all the gorgeous locks off that took over a year to grow, but seriously, there was no other way. Still, Tracy was able to transform a nightmare into a dream, and while the long hair was gone, the end result was a very smart style that will grow out well. It is quite attractive, and while my child was still inconsolable over losing all that hair, what a life saver Tracy was, and I can only imagine how gorgeous my child's hair will be as we continue to see her to shape it while it grows out again. So heart warming to find a kind, empathetic human being l, and what incredible luck we had in finding her. Thank you Tracy!

She's made some small adjustments to my cut over this past year that have turned out well. I am an "easy" haircut but people get it wrong all of the time but Jenny is very consistent and would recommend her to anyone! Convenient location just around the corner from Eureka on Castro Street. All of the stylists here are very friendly and it's a great atmosphere to be around.

I went to get a haircut with Nina and I regret having haircut after getting it done…read more I wanted to get my hair trimmed and layered with V shape line. She did what I requested but the result is not satisfying rather dissapointing. Hair has been trimmed way too much - usually trimming and layering done in the inner layer of the hair, not outer layer but somehow she did both inner and outer which makes my hair look very messy. It was $85 total not including tips ($10 extra charge due heavy hair). If I could reverse time and decide whether or not to get a haircut, I wouldn't at least with Nina.
