When I found out that my hair stylist of over 5 years had relocated to some far away land (north…read morebay), it kind of felt like a bad breakup. Was it something I did or said? Was I not getting my haircuts frequently enough? Did I neglect her? What do I do now?! While her move was all for a good reason, the thought of looking for a new hair salon was a bit terrifying, especially when I had someone cut my hair perfectly for so long. Then came the desperation. I saw a few stylists at the same salon and they were fine but they were missing a certain touch of style...my style. I don't get my hair cut very often so when I do, it's a pretty big ****ing deal. Just as my hair grew out to the point of unruly, there came an unexpected opportunity. Yelp hosted an elite event to showcase the newly re-opened Crocker Galleria and I was all over that like Batman on crime. Galleria Hair Design was giving free bang trims to attendees and after chugging a few beers, I had enough liquid courage in me to try it out. Because of the huge turn out, there weren't enough stylists to accommodate me. Eric H. apologized and gave me his business card for a rain check. Soon enough, I scheduled a bang trim online and crossed my fingers. After looking at a few photos and discussing details, Eric got to work. His attention to detail was spot on. He took his time and I really appreciated the active conversation not just around my hair but the kind that I always imagined a hair stylist would have with their client. We chopped it up! *pun intended* heh heh... I went back for a full cut today and I can proudly (and very happily) say that I have found my new hair salon. As much as I want Eric H. all to myself, I highly recommend him. He listens to every detail, is genuine with his opinions, and is focused on the customer experience. Price-wise, I can't complain. $65 for shampoo, cut and style beats the $90 I was paying for over 5 years! Thank you Yelp for the introduction and thank you Galleria Hair Design for sweeping me off my feet.

Eric has been cutting my hair for many years. Love his precision cuts and attention to details…read more . Eric were the only person, my son allowed to cut his hair. My son at the time was 3.5 years old . Prior to our appointment I had a discussion with Eric informing him my son is fearful of anyone trying to cut or trim his hair. Especially the sound of a buzzer. What a relief ; I finally found a hair stylist who's understanding, patients , gentle and compassionate. Eric made my son felt at ease and comfortable . Eric took his time, explained to my son what he was going to do, showed him the tools and what each one is for. My son was happy with his haircut and no longer in fear and looks forward to his next appointment with Eric and (no one else. He tells me.) Sadly we moved far away. But when ever we are in town for a visit, we are able to schedule appointments on line.

I was looking for a last minute appointment since my last salon didn't do a great job on my bangs…read more I called and Franny was able to fit me in for a last minute appointment to help me fix it. She gave the best advice for bangs and how to make it work with my Asian hair. I've been going back ever since. We recently did a big chop and she layered my hair to help give it some volume. She's the best and I wouldn't let anyone else touch my hair. Booking online is easy and I never have issues finding parking. I love that I can book a bang trim appointment for a decent price when I just need a touch up. 10/10 recommend!

My friend got her hair cut and got 4 inches trimmed off + long layers added. The stylist (I'm assuming he was Allen from the website!) did a fantastic job and her hair ended up looking so much thicker and healthier afterwards, with the beautiful long layers and face framing pieces she asked for. I got an oil treatment because my hair was feeling like hay! They were so thorough in coating every strand with the treatment and I sat under a steamer until my hair was looking super moisturized. We both got our hair blow dried straight at the end and they managed to make my frizzy wavy hair look incredibly sleek by the end of this. The space was super clean and everyone inside was so so nice! I was speaking Mandarin with them but they also speak Cantonese and English. Can't recommend this place enough, especially for their opening month deals!

They accept walk-ins as well, but your mileage may vary on weekends since they tend to get pretty busy. I came in on a Monday around noon, and it wasn't too crowded. The salon was very clean and well-kept, and the lighting inside was especially flattering. They also wash your hair before the haircut, which I thought was a nice touch. The staff were very nice and friendly, which made it comfortable to chat with them while waiting for my haircut. They are mostly cantonese/mandarin speaking so you may encounter a slight language barrier, but Google Translate works just fine. I had my hair cut by Wilson, and he is a very chill guy. I showed him pictures of what I wanted and asked him for suggestions, and he explained his process while cutting my hair and styling it, which I really appreciated. You could tell he has very skilled hands and a passion for his work. If location or parking is a concern, I heard that they're opening a second store by the same name in Millbrae on 289 Broadway in mid-April. Overall, great experience from start to finish! I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it!

He is extremely attentive and knowledgeable. I was making a pretty big change to my hair, and was so nervous I was breaking a sweat when I walked in. I had long hair, and decided it was time to go short. Knowing how important this was to me, and how nervous I was, he took his time to cut my hair in intervals, going shorter by a bit each time until we were at a length I felt comfortable with. He did exactly what I showed him I wanted. And this is very hard to find. I love my haircut, it is PERFECT!!! He also completed a keratin treatment on my hair after the cut. My hair is still silky smooth and practically straight with air drying only!!! ...Not to mention his personality was to die for!!!!! I loved Anthony, and can't wait to go back to him!

I was confused at first because it's one salon that has several different smaller businesses inside with sliding glass doors. I walked in and was offered a drink immediately. I had an appointment with Brandon and 4pm. I walked in at 4 and he was still working on the person before me. I was okay with that because he was taking his time to make sure the customer was satisfied and he only took an extra 7-10 minutes. I've been getting my hair done at a $15 place and thought that I needed to get it nicely done this time around especially since I haven't gotten my hair cut in 7ish months. First off, he took time and washed my hair was superior products than what I use. Although, I think everything has to be better than a giant tub of Costco brand shampoo and conditioner. I got side swept bangs and a little bit of layering in the front. He also did a dry cut after to make sure everything was beautiful. He also gave me great tips on how to keep my hair pretty and natural. The cut is expensive for me but it was completely worth it. He took his time and I came out with a professional looking cut. Long cuts are $80. Because I was a first time customer, Brandon's partner and business associate gave me a 20% discount. I saw 3 returning customers there during my cut. It was pretty amazing considering there were only 2 chairs and I was there for 1 1/2 hours. I will be returning.

To explain, I love Japanese integrity when it comes to their work and craft. I came up to this salon and found Yoshi through yelp. Oh, I don't have any regrets having my hair done by him. I had a very long hair that I usually don't bother much to take care for except to wash it. He knew right there that I've been using something on it that I shouldn't have: coconut oil. He explained that products that aren't cut out specifically for the hair would have big molecules that won't be able to penetrate the hair but will, instead, cause build up. I realized that made sense. My hair was heavy from the oil I've been putting. Yoshi washed my hair for about 30 minutes and it felt so good to be pampered like that. Then he cut it to the style that I wanted. Now I feel so much better without the build up. I understood now how one reviewer mentioned how Yoshi is like her hair shrink! Additionally, I love how and where his salon is! Reminds me of SoHo in NYC. It's clean and looks out to the streets of SF.

Got my hair colored again last month, and this time I added a haircut because it was long overdue…read more Like possibly almost 2yrs overdue. I scheduled the appointment for 10am on a Saturday, and then I got a call where they would do the haircut at 10am, and then the color at 10:30am. My stylist for the haircut was Alexander and he was so nice! He explained every step and made sure I was comfortable as we went along. This was also a dry cut, which I've never had. I was about to take my glasses off, and he asked that I keep them on since I wear them most of the time and he wanted to ensure my haircut would essentially accommodate it. I've never had a stylist ask me that before and it makes perfect sense. So now my hair frames my face well, with and without my glasses. After the haircut was the color with Zoe and it was a relaxing experience. I wanted to fall asleep (I'm the type that falls asleep to ASMR videos especially with combing and wooden makeup sounds). Then it was a shampoo and style with another stylist. I called that day my self-care Saturday, and I felt so relaxed and refreshed after being there for nearly 3 hours. Now that my hair has grown out a bit, it still looks good. I love the layers that Alexander created, which took my now naturally wavy hair into account (my hair has been getting wavier as I'm aging). I feel like my grays aren't blending as well as the color fades. Maybe it's because the new shampoo I'm using may be too good at retaining the color. At a certain angle, it's very apparent where the dye ends and where my grays start. But you'd have to be shorter than me to see it, and I'm pretty short. Overall the color still looks great and tbh I don't think anyone is noticing my gray roots at the moment. The cost of the haircut and color was over $400 with tip. But my hair is still looking fantastic a month in. And this is something I'll probably do twice a year, so it's something I can save up for.
