There's so much to love about Headprint Studio in the Castro. The L (MUNI) drops me right in the heart of the Castro, I can grab a hot cookie on the way, and then settle in for the best blowout of my life with Xai. They use top-tier products, and even with the constant buzz of this thriving salon, you can tell they truly treat their clients like family. If you're in need of a refresh, do yourself a favor and check them out. My before and after photos are all the inspiration you need. read more

Mick is soooooo great!! I enjoy my chats with them and came out looking like a cool cat both times they cut my hair.

I got a haircut for my long hair for the first time in 2 years and I went with Avo to do the cut. Absolutely love them. I felt so pretty after and taken care of. They give me a sense of safety and definitely deliver quality. I truly think you're paying for what you get and if you're queer needing a cut, this is the safe place to go to!! read more

Vivi is incredible! I sort of ruined my hair the other day and they were able to turn it around and cut really nice fringe curtain bangs for me. They were super professional and friendly and I am now recommending all my friends! I'll definitely be back :) read more

Shout out to Xai! My hair is fresh, bouncy, and flawless! She was so sweet and patient the entire time. 10/10 definitely recommend if you're in the area! read more

Teddy is the best! Great listener, great conversationalist and most importantly he gives GREAT cuts. He makes you feel extremely comfy in his chair and listens to what you want. I usually don't like my cut until a week after it's grown out but when Teddy cuts it, I love it the second it's done. Not to mention, can't beat the studio location (and vibe). Highly recommend! read more

Couldn't recommend this place more! I went in for a major hair change and Brendan took really great care of me. After having long hair for over 10 years I was a bit nervous cutting it all off but I am so happy I trusted him, and his judgement. It's nice when you can describe what you're going for and have someone completely get you... loving my new do! Beyond that I felt completely at home in the studio. The entire staff was so nice, we were all laughing and cracking jokes the whole time... lots of good energy and good people. Im looking forward to my next visit and catching up with Brendan and the Headprint crew. read more

I was on crutches for several months and feeling pretty sorry for myself and I was crutching by Headprint when I decided to stop in (no appointment) and see if anybody could wash my hair. Mick appeared like an angel and was not only incredibly kind and accommodating but they washed (the head massage was amazing!), blow dried, and styled my hair. It was the first time I had felt good in months! Now I'm off crutches and wanted to change my hair up and the only person I wanted to go on a new hair journey with was Mick! They gave me an incredibly cool new cut and bangs (which I am obsessed with)! I will continue to only come to Headprint Studio to have my hair cut by Mick! read more

What a great little salon! I was able to book a same day with Mick and I'm so grateful I did. They are personable and kind with good energy. Mick instilled trust right away and I was able to leave with a haircut I love that fits my lifestyle. read more

Got the best haircut of my life from Brendan--I've paid $400 dollars for haircuts I THOUGHT were good but Brendan only charges $145 and my natural wave pattern has never looked more consistently great after air drying with a tiny amount of product (he gave me a sample ((and a tiny hand lotion which was very cute)). He really knows his way around a razor. And I can walk there. read more

I've been getting my haircut at Headprint Studios on Union St and now in the Castro for several years. Brendan is an outstanding stylist and is consistently recommending different and better cuts. The rest of the staff is great too. For a men's cut, this is the best spot in the City. read more

I walked in for a haircut yesterday, and Ian did a fantastic job! The vibe was chill, Ian listened to what I wanted, and guided me through what he would do. The haircut was amazing! Ian was precise, thorough, sweet, and v handsome Everyone in the salon seemed great- staff and customers. I'll be going back to Ian from now on!!! So glad I found him! read more

The stylists were all friendly and attentive when I entered. I decided to get my hair cut and colored here for the first time after spending hours doing research on studios and stylists. My stylist did not do what I wanted - even with sending plenty of inspo pics and I was not asking for anything extreme or completely opposite of my current hair. My hair cut was botched - my bangs were completely uneven and block-y and looked like a three year cut them. my color was inconsistent - so I decided to go back to see if anything could be done. After doing a tone on my hair - it was not what I wanted - but I thanked them and tipped them (again). For paying over $600 for these services - I completely felt ripped off. I had to go to get my hair fixed - cut and color - which over all costed me $1k when it should have been done the first time. Super bummed and disappointed at such a high-price studio. read more

One word- Cody. If you're looking for a stylist that has talent, kindness, and the ability to actually listen to what you want; you HAVE to go see Cody. I cannot recommend him enough. I have wavy curly hair and he worked WITH my natural pattern instead of against it. The grow out has been amazing. I feel like I got two cuts out of one. No one else is aloud to touch my hair! Plus the salon is cute and the staff really makes you feel welcome. Please ask for Cody when booking! You won't regret it read more
