The salon is super clean, bright, and has a great vibe. Everyone there is really kind and helpful. Yeah, I had to wait for an appointment and send pics beforehand, but it was 100% worth it.

I am an middle aged woman who is generally terrified to get my hair done by new people. I've had the same stylist for years but she recently moved out of the country so I had to start looking for someone new. I found Korina on a coupon website and took a chance, I have to admit, I was a little freaked out when I noticed how young she was. Mostly because I thought she might try and transform me in to something I'm not...i don't know, you know how some of these young funky SF stylists are?? Needless to say, Korina was brilliant. She gave me exactly what I wanted. She did offer some new suggestions but by no means pressured me in to anything. I have been to her 3 or 4 times now. She does my color and cut and I feel really blessed to have found her by chance. She'll definitely be my regular stylist now. I highly recommend her for any type of client. This girl really knows her stuff! She just moved over to a new place called Sam Hill Salon. You can still contact her directly to make an appointment. read more

Korina was referred to me by a good friend of mine. I am a guy with really curly hair that is apparently really hard to cut. I've had barbers and other hairdressers mess my hair up my entire life. In fact, I've been wearing hats for years because I've always hated my hair. Thank GOD I found Korina. She is probably the only person on earth that has really nailed my haircut. She's really sweet and patient. She showed me how to style my hair and what kinds of product to use for my curls. I'm really happy with my haircut for the first time in my life. I've been going to her now for over 2 years. If she ever moves, life is really gonna suck! She just started working at a new place in Union Square called Sam Hill Salon, really nice spot! She has a really cool webiste too: korinastratton.com. read more

I want everyone to know how AMAZING Korina is! Before I started going to Korina I had a hard time finding a stylist that I was happy with. I now drive an hour just to get my hair done. Korina has colored, highlighted, cut my hair and has given me different treatments including the Brazillian Blowout. I have also had my makeup done by here for special occasions. She is truley an artist. My hair and makeup always looks amazing. I am the type of person that is afraid to change my hairstyle. I finally let her work her magic and I could not be happier. I have recently changed my hairstyle and color and continuously get complimented on my hair. Korina is young and trendy and is always up on all the new styles and colors. I don't know what I would do without her! read more

Korina definitely deserves the glowing reviews she gets. She's done wonders with my hair. She's given me the cutest short cuts! I've gone to other stylists who have cut my hair and it's looked cute for a week, or at best 2 months. When Korina cut my hair, it grew out after a few months and looked like a whole new hair cut. She is amazing! She is the only person I'll trust with my hair. Not only that, she's very friendly and personable. I highly recommend her to anyone who's looking for a new stylist or is tired of their current one! read more
