The best heaircutter I've ever been too. Her styling is perfect and she strives to create not only what you want, but something better

My first time seeing Eva and she crushed it!! She helped talk me through what I was going for, genuinely listened to me, and gave me the cutest bold, short cut! Endless compliments from my friends :) And she is so sweet and fun to chat with! Thank you Eva, will def be back!!! read more

Eva gave me a cut and color with flair! She made me feel glamorous when I'd been feeling frumpy. She's awesome and has been my regular colorist since I started showing some whites. She also styled my hair for my wedding day, and I was super pleased :) :) read more

See all

I wish I could rate Eva more than 5 stars because she's so skilled and great at what she does! With almost 20 years of hair experience, she knows how to work those scissors and hairdryers. I got a haircut and Keratin treatment done and my hair has never looked so flattering. She gave me some beautiful layers all around based off the shape of my face and the meticulous effort she put into putting the Keratin treatment in my hair really shows how much care she puts into her work. She also uses the best products on her clients and hand picks them herself after reading all of the ingredients and using the very best. She's very patient and so easy to talk to, as well! The whole experience inside the salon was wonderful and extremely enjoyable. I would highly recommend going to Eva and I will definitely be back! THANK YOU SO MUCH, EVA! :) read more

Amazing. I have super thick long hair and Eva always gives me incredible layers, volume and movement. On this last cut and style my blowout has lasted 2 whole weeks! read more

Eva is the best hairstylist I have ever known and tried. You will pay for the quality. It is incredible what she has done to my hair. I came to her first time as emergency because some hair dresser I randomly chose destroyed my hair by making it yellow and burning it! It was 1.5 years ago and I returned to Eva because I only trust her now. I never liked myself with super short hair. But she did magic...again... I absolutely love it! Thank you, Eva. I will see you soon to touch up. read more

Hair By Eva - Haircut by magic hands of Eva - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Francisco, California

I am very particular about my hair & do not let just anyone cut it, but when I saw Eva's work my first thought was that she is an artist and that she enjoys what she does. At that point, I realized that I would be in good hands. Whenever she cuts my hair I feel that I am being heard and given good feedback and styling options. She always steers me in the right direction. Plus I always get compliments on my hair afterwards! read more

Eva has worked some magic on this lady's hair! I always leave with a huge smile on my face because she has made me feel and look good. She is open to what I want but is also honest in letting me know what will or won't work with my hair. I get my hair colored by her, as well, and that has looked good every time, in my various iterations of blonde. The Eufora products she uses are nice; I have bought a few items over the years. Eva is friendly and easy to talk too--I really enjoy my time at the salon chatting with her! Her mom helps out, by washing hair. I really like that about Eva, as well. Scheduling appointments is easy: usually I just text her. If you want a great haircut, color, and styling of your hair in a convenient location downtown, you should go to Hair by Eva! read more

Eva completely went above and beyond styling my hair. I have Alopecia and wear wigs and she is the only person in the world I would trust to cut or style them. I flew in a day early from Nashville, TN to see her!! She is amazing and was so generous with her time in order to make sure I was completely satisfied! The color and cut are brilliant and I couldn't have imagined better hair!! My hair is not gonna grow so it's important to get it perfect the first time and Eva definitely made sure that she did :) read more

Hair By Eva - Cut and color by Eva! - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Francisco, California

5 stars aren't enough for Eva! perhaps I should write two 5 star reviews to reflect the 10 stars she deserves! A very kind and phenomenally talented sculptor of hair. She understands movement and shape better than any hairstylist I have met and really knows how to sculpt hair and bring out your best features. She is very good with long hair too, which is also rare. She really listens and then brings a great deal of inspiration to her work. She is an artist in the best sense of the word. I had seen how she transformed 3 of my friends to shine at their very best.... I am so glad I went to see her. You hear about people flying in to have their hair done... this usually makes me roll my eyes with a good grief thought. But...with Eva I would say "oh yeah.... I totally get it. " If you are like me and really appreciate talent without all the salon drama you will also really appreciate her sincere and down to earth approach. A true gem! read more

I met with Eva last month and couldn't be happier! She recommended I get the Keratin treatment and I'm hooked. My hair has been frizz-free and I no longer have to use the straightener after blow drying. Not only is she fun and engaging to chat with for hours at a time, but it's obvious that she knows what she's doing. She is an amazing stylist, yes, but she is also my hair coach! She gives me realistic expectations and advice based on my own hair texture, length, goals, etc. and so far everything she's said has been right on the mark! I'm already getting excited for my next appointment just writing this... Thanks Eva! read more

I guess I'm picky with my hair, but I really don't feel like I am! I've never been excited about any haircut/treatment I've received, other than from Eva!! Really - she's incredible! She's a perfectionist (and I totally appreciate that!) When I showed her a picture of the style I wanted, she said it was totally possible but also gave me insight as to slight alterations that would look better on me (taking into consideration the shape of my face, texture of my hair, the time and effort I was willing to put into it on a daily basis, etc.) In the end, she gave me a Brazilian Blowout (have never had,) cut, and style. I walked out feeling like a million bucks and my husband and friends LOVE it! Several have asked who did it and how she did it (I look dramatically different from before with the Blowout and my hair is an awesome texture now.) It's been several months since seeing her and my hair has grown out beautifully! I will go to her for EVERY haircut/treatment. She's wonderful, knowledgable, and super fun to hair out with in the process! Go see Eva - she's wonderful. read more

My cousin is a young professional musician, so it is really important that she has a style that is current, but can also work on tour. Eva was kind enough to let me sit in for her recent hair piece cut, and it was really interesting to see the process. She did an amazing job of translating the photo inspiration we brought in (Taylor Swift at Coachella) into a gorgeous cut for my cuz. It suits her so well, and her fans are already raving about it. Eva is an incredible stylist, and a very sweet person. I have nothing but positive things to say about the whole experience. read more

I am not surprised to see all the rave reviews for Eva. A fellow curly hair friend of mine has been raving about Eva for 13 years; and I finally went to see her. I have very kinky curly hair so I am more cautious than the average about seeing a new hair dresser. Many say they can handle it, but then become overwhelmed half way through my appointment. Not Eva. Eva rocked it! It was clear that she knew what she was doing (and then some) from the start. Everything--from the wash, to the blow out, to the cut, to the final touches--was all done with expertise and care. I've never seen anyone get through my blowout so quickly and getting the roots straight immediately; she knows curly hair like no other. Eva is such a professional that even though I was late, she still tended to every single detail. She is now my new go-to, no question. read more

Eva is a visionary! My hair really needed a cut and I had no idea what to do with it. Eva played with my hair, smiled, and gave me a style that looks great, is fun, and very professional. I love this cut and I know that if I am ever to get stuck on style again, I can trust Eva. read more

I've been going to Eva for a few years now and she never disappoints! I get my highlights and cuts here and they're always amazing! She always knows the newest styles and trends. I highly recommend her. read more

I live out of the country and let my hair grow out til I come home so that Eva can cut my hair. I love several things about the way she cuts hair - she's intuitive and works with, not against your hair. She's also AMAZING at details. That's what sets her apart from all others who've cut my hair. Once the cut is done, she goes back and spends a considerable amount of time working on the details. This assures that the cut will grow out beautifully, and that your cut will stand out like a shining star. If this is your first time with Eva, I recommend bringing with you pictures of cuts and styles you like. (Actually, do this even if it isn't your first time). This will give her a concrete idea of what you're imagining, because sentences like "I want something really bad ass" are a bit vague. If you don't know what you want, be prepared to answer some questions about your life style... Eva will find something to suit you. I just got my hair cut today, and I'm feeling pretty fabulous...strangers even commented on the street! read more

I tried so many other people in San Francisco over a three year period and really didn't like anyone. A friend told me about Eva and it was love at first cut! Normally when the shears come out and hair starts flying, I get very nervous and a haircut can end up being a very stressful experience! With Eva, I was relaxed from the very beginning because she always takes the time to devise a plan of what we're going to do that day before she even starts cutting. Our conversations are really fun, and if I just want to zone out and relax, she's respectful of that too. I always get the cut and styling that I want. She's one of the few stylists where I'm able to go directly out to dinner after my cut instead of running home to shower and style it myself. I have now been seeing Eva for 5 years and I am very satisfied. Her new space is really cool, and it has all the amenities of home. I would recommend her to anyone. read more

As a guy who likes his hair on the longer side, I've found it so hard to find hair dressers who understand how to cut men's hair. I normally either end up feeling like I have a mullet, bowl cut, or Fabio bangs. Not with Eva. Eva is special. She understands the inner workings of hair like a magician with the brain of a scientist. She looked at my hair, let me know what some good options might be considering the contour of my head, my slightly receding hairline, and my cowlicks. We came to a decision on a style and then the magic happened. When she was done I had a haircut that both looked good in the present, and looked even better as it continued to grow in. Not only is she an amazing hairdresser, but she also puts people at ease by making genuine conversation. Every time I've arrived at my appointment early I see other clients leaving with a glow on their face. She seems to make everyone feel like they're the most important person in the world for the duration of their haircut. Go see Eva read more

Eva is my favorite hair stylist! She's done my hair for years and has become like family to me. She has truly perfected her craft and makes me feel like gold every time I walk out of her salon. I'm bad at knowing exactly what I want, but I can give her a basic idea and she'll take it to a whole other level than I thought possible. Truly, what she comes up with far surpasses anything I could envision. My favorite colorings have been from her - she gets the color perfect every time. She has such a wide range of talent that she can work on anyone of any age with any type of hair. She'll make you look and feel amazing with each and every visit! I highly recommend this incredible woman! read more

My hair was lookin' a hot mess. It had been awhile since my last cut and this frizzy thing was taking over. No matter what I tried, my hair would not obey the commands of my brush. Eva took a look at my hair and suggested a Keratin treatment and some shaping. She asked questions about my hair routine and then explained how fabulous my hair would be after the treatment. My frizzy hair was reaching for her fingertips and so, I said yes. I received both text and e-mail reminders about my appointment which I appreciated. Eva is located in the heart of the financial district in an office building. It seems like an odd spot for a salon, but it was great. It's a small shop that is inviting and has great light. Eva is professional, vibrant and fun! Not only did she heal my hair, but she was also willing to answer my questions about how to maintain my hair and how to style it. She is knowledgeable and has great tips for keeping your look FABULOUS. I walked out of her salon wishing I could make the world move in slow motion. I usually hate wind, but I walked all around downtown letting my hair whip in the wind knowing it totally looked like I was in a shampoo commercial. I have never been more excited to wash and style my hair. I think most women hope to leave a salon feeling beautiful and I left feeling GORGEOUS. My smile has not faded from my face and if you see Eva, I'm sure yours won't either! read more

This girl KNOWS hair! Not only that, but she knows face shape and angles and cuts that flatter your face. You must meet with her!!

Eva is a hair genius -- I think it's her artistry and incredible attention to detail. Every time I see her, it's a great cut that my friends compliment. A professional makeup artist referred me to Eva in 2006. I've been going to her ever since. read more

Eva is the best stylist I have ever known. Period. She always makes me look & feel better. She is great at both color & cuts, and the Smoothing Treatment makes my hair feel & behave amazingly! read more

Eva knows her stuff! She gave me amazing layers that I can actually blow dry myself to look like she herself did in her super-duper cute salon studio. I've had layers cut into my hair before and its amazing the difference you can tell and even feel when an expert does the cutting! I mean she even takes your head shape into consideration when cutting your hair, its brilliant! Not only is she amazing at what she does but I love how you can totally see how much she enjoys doing it and is a ball to be with! Awesome attitude, always a smile on her face, and non stop laughs...def. what I call a good time! She also used some pretty amazing hair products that I'd never even knew existed, like this Italian serum/gel that I love to use when I don't have time to blow dry but don't wanna leave the house looking like a wet dog! I also got this really cool Japanese hair treatment that I use as a deep conditioner, to keep those horrid split ends away! I def learned a lot and had fun on my visit with Eva, and can't wait for my next one! read more

I have been going to Eva close to 15 years now and I am always impressed! Not only is she reliable but she is also very innovative and I always feel like a million bucks after I leave her salon. read more

Eva is an incredibly talented Hair Artist, and I simply could not be happier with my results! Because my mother is also a beautician, I've never had anyone else cut my hair for over 25 years - so you can imagine how nervous I was going into my appointment with a brand-new hairdresser. She completely exceeded my expectations - Eva not only ensured we were both on the same page with the color & cut I was wanting, but she was also able to thoroughly explain her procedures, coloring techniques and her best recommendations. She is a highly skilled hair stylist and truly understands individual hair chemistry, as well as the overall creative aesthetic that people are desiring. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in the Bay area. Thank you SO much Eva! read more

I couldn't be happier with my new look! Eva has an amazing ability to assess what style and color works best given a person's facial features, coloring, and life-style needs. She was highly attentive to detail, a great listener, and offered good advice as we thought through options. If you want an amazing cut and color you can't go wrong with Eva! read more

Eva is amazing with her craft! I loved my haircut because it has been so easy for me to style. I am actually fixing my hair more often now, even on a windy day in San Francisco. I truly recommend her for all your hair needs. You will not regret it! read more

I have not let anybody else but Eva to cut my hair in almost 10 years so I guess that says a lot. She is amazing, she has a sixth sense for figuring out what kind of haircut, color and style suits you, and she is always right. I always get compliments on my color and haircut, every single time :) She is truly amazing! read more

AMAZING!!! I am a devoted client on Eva's and have been for many years. I moved to Houston about 2 years ago and continue to come back to SF to get my hair cut by Eva. I won't let anyone else touch it. I don't have particularly difficult or tricky hair, but no one seems to do such an amazing job of adding the right amount of layers, taking off all the split ends, and making my hair feel so much healthier every time I walk out from an appointment. She makes my hair feel thicker and has a real talent at shaping hair to make it looks its best no matter what looks your going for. She's not a cookie cutter stylist who can only do one style, she's talented, funny, kind, and treats you like her best friend when you have an appointment. I highly recommend her!! read more

I purchased a living social 1/2 price straightening treatment by another stylist at another salon that included a free hair cut. I was very hesitant about the haircut since I've been going to Eva since 2002. I thought I'll let this new person cut one inch off of my hair because it's included but I was not happy. I watched as the new stylist was lost trying to cut my curly hair. She was also just cutting hair. When Eva cuts your hair you are watching an artist at work. Eva has a great personality extensive schooling and wonderful hair cutting techniques and worth every penny. I feel like I cheated on Eva and I can't hide it because she will see my terrible haircut in a few days. In any case, I can't wait to get it cut again by Eva because she rocks, she's a miracle worker on curly hair and I'll never ever cheat on her again. I'm sorry I strayed. A lesson to everyone on cheating on your stylist, don't do it! read more

I'm reviewing Eva (Hair By Eva) after my second visit. Eva is not only a hair stylist but an educator and teacher. She has taught me to use different products that work with my hair type and how to use different styling implements properly. She is worth every penny she charges and then some. She's goes above and beyond to assure that you are happy with your services. In my book she gets an A+++. I am a repeat happy customer and I drive all the way from Pinole to see her. My profile picture was cut and styled by Eva. read more

Eva is as good as it gets; I'd give her 10 stars if I could. I first found Eva at Pastel Salon three years ago. I finally, finally, found someone who could cut my unruly hair so I could wear it down in a beautiful cut instead of the perennial ponytail I'd worn for 40 years. And, yes, I've had two "Eva Moments." This occurs when you leave the salon and on your way home someone either stops you or comes up from behind and says something like "You just had your hair cut; it is perfect!" or "I love your hair, where'd you get it cut?" to which I reply...Hair by Eva. And her cuts are so good you can let it grow out a little longer than usual without it looking horrible...that's a great thing... read more

Eva has been cutting my hair for over 15 years. Every now and then I try a different stylist and I always return to her for the next cut with my tail between my legs. Over the years I've gone from long to short (did someone say pixie?), from mousy brown to blonde and from wavy to straight and I've loved it all. I really appreciate Eva's honesty when I come to her with a style idea that she knows will not work for my hair texture, color etc. and I trust her completely - she always takes the time to talk things through so that we both know what the end result will be. Eva knows that I am looking for no-maintenance styles that require no product or fussing and yet I still end up with a cut that looks edgy and flattering long after leaving the salon. Eva has the skill to cut my hair so that it still looks great as it grows out which allows me to go 10 - 12 weeks in between cuts. I've found that with other stylists, my hair has looked great for the first couple of weeks but then It starts to loose it's shape very quickly. If you want hair that that looks great and makes you feel like a million bucks, make an appointment with Eva! read more

I have been going to Eva for the past six years (wow, it's been six years already?) and I have never walked out feeling bummed about my hair. My hair has mixed texture (curly in some parts, stick straight in others) and is very thick. Everyone else I've gone to has given me the same layered hairstyle they give girls with Asian hair. Eva spends time asking me what I want to do with my hair and then gives her suggestions based on its length and texture. When I show her photos of celeb hair, she tailors it to my own hair and it comes out even better. Everyone compliments me on my hair, even if I haven't seen her for six months, since it holds its shape, has movement and is still manageable. Love her! read more

When I first went to Eva she put me at ease right away with her genuine warm manner. I always know that I am in good hands with her and I go to her every time I am back in the Bay area. I have curly hair which can be difficult but she has great finesse with my curly mane. She has a knack for knowing which style will suit my face, body type and personality. Her blow out is the best in the business! Highly recommended. read more

Eva is amazing!! I have been searching for someone like her forever!! She offers suggestions and is a master at hair color. I cannot believe how much I learned about my hair from her. She did my cut and color and I have NEVER been happier with my hair. I have definitely found my sthlist. If you are looking for the best hair cut and the best color, look no further. Eva is the best. Thank you! read more

Eva is not a stylist, she's a Hair ARTIST. She had extensive skills, a keen eye for detail, and deep product knowledge which enables her to create amazing looks for anyone. She gives in-depth consultations that factor in your hair's color, texture & condition, along with your face shape and overall image. Even if you think you know exactly what you want, Eva can make you look better than you imagined! read more

Eva is AMAZING! I've been going to Eva for about 5 years, and I hope to have her as my stylist for the rest of my life! She is an absolute ARTIST with cut and color, and really listens to what you want. She also is happy to provide her suggestions about what she thinks would look good on you, and she's always right! I have thick, wavy hair, and Eva has styled it in lots of lengths, styles, and colors, including ones I never would have thought of for myself, and I always feel beautiful when she's done. She takes great care and is meticulous about the details; my hair always grows out beautifully after a cut. She's also a wonderful person and makes it a treat to spend time with her. Go to Eva! You will be thrilled! read more
