Need a color specialist? A cut specialist? Someone who just gets it? I met Travis a couple years ago after losing my long time hair and colorist and we clicked immediately. Between balayage, color, cut, product recommendations, and everything in between -- he can do it all. I highly recommend Travis for all your hat needs! read more

I got so lucky when I was connected with Travis a couple years ago! I always walk out of the salon feeling myself and truly so happy with the results. He makes the process so easy and he's so fun to talk to. Usually I show him some pictures/describe what I want and he explains everything during the process. Not only does he always get me the look I'm going for, but my hair is so so healthy after. Before coming to Travis, I thought drying out your hair was a natural byproduct of having it dyed. But, since coming to Travis for my hair, I've realized that it's definitely possible to have dyed hair AND soft, healthy hair. He's truly one of the only people I trust completely with my hair! I always leave a session with Travis with an amazing cut, even better color, and healthy hair. read more

Travis is so amazing! I found him after looking for a colorist to help fix my hair after a balayage disaster. He transformed my hair from a hot mess express to a beauty. He's very talented with color and helped me decide what I ultimately wanted. He was very thorough in the explanation of the process and what to expect and the care I'd need to show my hair. read more

I had my hair stylist for more then 25 years. I was nervous about trying someone new. Travis was great I recommend him. He made me feeling welcome. I love his personality. I am very picky about who does my hair and Travis did a great job. read more

Woohoo I love being the first to review! I was looking for a new hair stylist and went to Travis after not cutting my hair for a year, poor Travis! Well he worked miracles, my hair is so much healthier after chopping a little over two inches. I came in with a A line photo and he said uh no because I didn't have enough hair ( I have super thin hair). He talked to me and figured out I want that textured look. So he textured the ends of my hair, I liked that the most. And he taught me how to curl with a flat iron, I even took a video so I can remember how. Travis takes the extra time to listen and teach you about your hair, and he is fun to talk to in general. read more

Travis was amazing! I went in with a "perm gone wrong" and he saved my hair. I haven't felt my hair this soft and healthy is over 4 1/2 months! If you're looking for a stylist that understands the health of hair, takes time, understands what you're looking for, and overall is great. I reccomend you going to Travis. read more

Quick short bob cut fix was not worth $75. People are taking advantage of Covid and charging us outrageous amounts for simple things. I refused to pay these hair dressers again insane amounts of money for simple haircuts. read more

Travis fixed my HORRIBLE color and highlights done at another salon. This man knows his business well. He is the absolute BEST. I highly recommend him. read more

Travis is such an amazing hair artist. He has cut my hair several times and never disappoints. His attention to detail is extraordinary. Not only is he great at what he does but he is a true artist when it comes to cut and color. It makes a difference when you trust your hair with a visionary. Trust me when I say you will not be disappointed. read more

I have seen Travis for multiple haircuts and color services over the past 6 years and I highly recommend booking your next appointment with him! I've had everything from bobs, layered cuts, bangs, rich brunette color, balayage and even creative color done by him and I've LOVED every single service with him. On top of his skill set, he is such a lovely person. He's cheerful, down to earth and not pretentious at all. He's so easy to talk to and an overall gem of a person. read more

I went to Travis to fix the most awful haircut I have ever gotten in my life (I did get it in the middle of Chinatown for $20 and I am pretty sure the woman used a papercutter so I don't know why I didn't look like Gigi Hadid when I left...) Anyway, Travis was extremely meticulous, careful and SKILLED. He knew what he was doing, and listened to what I wanted. I walked out looking like a different person! THANK YOU TRAVIS! I would definitely come back. read more

First impressions are everything to me especially getting that wowed effect after a hair cut and that's exactly what I got I can honestly say I will never go to anyone else but Travis!!!

As a dude with luscious locks, the only people I'd trust with the artistry of a cut is Leonardo da Vinci and Leonardo of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Travis. The former dudes are usually booked or dead or fictional, so the choice is clear. read more

Probably one of my most favorite haircuts ever. Travis is great and I'd recommend him to everyone, plus he's a total sweetheart.

I went to Ryan to get 18 plus inches off. He was amazing and incredibly attentive to what I wanted. He was gentle and made sure I was comfortable through out the process. Thank you for making me feel great! read more

After moving to SF from Dublin, Ireland, I was very hesitant to trust anyone in the Bay Area with my hair. I would schedule my cuts on the trips I made home. This year, I didn't take as many trips and took the plunge to trust a new stylist. I wish I'd done it much sooner (and saved on the international airfare!) Travis took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and gave me the cut I've been looking for for years. I can't wait to visit him again soon. Cannot recommend him more highly -- you'll never regret a visit to his chair. read more

Sitting in Travis' chair is an experience you don't want to miss out on. He will leave you feeling better about yourself. His service is high grade. He is a great at listening to how you want your hair styled and gives it that extra attention. I have gone to him from over two years and my hair has never been healthier. I love my highlights, the color contrasts he uses and the cuts he suggests are always flattering to my face structure. The conversation is easy and he always ensures you are comfortable. I love the olaplex treatment which leaves my hair healthy and manageable. read more

I got my hair cut by Travis and wow my hair looks amazing. It's hard to find a great hair stylist in SF let alone one that can cut Asian hair. Asian hair is very coarse and Travis know exactly how to work it. About the salon, it is in a great area and easy parking. The staffs were great and friendly. See you in six weeks Travis... read more

Had my hair colored by Travis and it looks awesome. He took the time to consult me on what I wanted done and did it exact. I will be back for sure. Thanks for the GREAT looking hair Travis!!! read more

I had a cut with Travis about a year ago before I moved out of the area and I'm so glad he now has a yelp page! He's got a fantastic attitude and sense of humor, is easy to chat with and really knows his stuff. I have hair that isn't that easy to cut, it's very fine and very straight and there's a ton of it. He gave me a super cute pixie-ish cut and took his time really perfecting it and taking out weight where it needed it. It was such a great cut, I went months without needing a trim (and my hair grows fast!) and anyone who has had a pixie know that's impressive. Can't recommend him enough! read more
