Lisa is the best. great haircut and friendly service. price is great. always a pleasure to go there.

Lisa is the best. She's been cutting my hair for years now. Without me giving her any instruction, she always cuts it perfectly, and she does it so quickly! She can get very busy on weekends so I highly recommend booking weekend appointments with her at least five days in advance, especially if your weekend schedule isn't flexible. read more

I have gone to Lisa's for years now. She is an amazing colorist and always does a great job with my hair. She's super friendly and always busy, so it makes sense to call ahead and request an appointment. There's only two chairs in her salon, so it is cozy! read more

Lisa was very friendly, and gave me a great haircut. I definitely recommend her. I am a new customer and will be a regular!

Lisa is amazing and always does a great job! We have been loyal customers for years and always enjoy our monthly visits. Thank you Lisa for the great service! So happy for her beautiful new salon a couple of doors from her original location. read more

Lisa is great as you will understand reading all the reviews. Lisa is very accommodating and so sweet and friendly. She cuts my mom's hair and always makes time to fit her in. Her prices are fantastic. read more

Just got a great haircut from Lisa today. I needed a good haircut. It was long and uneven. Lisa has cut my hair so good, that it my hair looks much fuller and healthy. She is fast but her skills are so good. I would recommend Lisa. She can be quite busy. It is best to call and make an appointment. Again I would recommend Lisa for an affordable haircut.

it was time for something fresh ... so after taking my friends' recommendations, Lisa did not let me down (even considering I was a bit late!) super skilled, efficient, and affirming, she gave me a great cut at an amazing rate! pleased to have found my new stylist--in the heart of the Castro to boot! read more

So I am reluctant to write this review as I don't want her to become even busier! But fair is fair and Lisa is absolutely amazing at her skill as a barber. She is precise, paying close attention to detail and knows how to balance your hair just perfectly. I just love her cuts. I love her so much that even having moved up to Santa Rosa recently, I still drive into the Castro for her expertise. Besides being a barber extraordinaire, she is super sweet and fun to be around. No attitude, no annoyance, no rushing-- just kindness and patience. She is simply the loveliest person and I can't recommend her enough! Lisa feels at this point, like a friend. Trust me, you won't go wrong with her! read more

Lisa is amazing. Fast and efficient. She is super accommodating to last minute walk-ins. read more

Can't beat the price and the friendly service. Lisa charged me $75 for haircut and coloring of my hair. Few blocks away I have paid almost $300 for the same. She is good for simple trim and maintenance. If you want the latest style I don't think this is where you need to go. Let's just say my spouse and I are both glad we found a place we can consistently go to. On another note can't believe our cockapoos cut is significantly more than ours (ouch). read more

Everything, come in from Los Angelo's. She is does such a professional job. Great price for cut and color. Always does everything in timely manner. Would highly recommend. read more

Very efficient, not too expensive, and in a convenient location so it can fit into a busy day well.

Lisa came very highly recommended ("You have to go there. She's amazing. She has been cutting all the dykes' hair for years!"), so when I was first able to get a non-COVID home haircut, Lisa's was my destination. I called ahead and was given a time to stop by. Cute little shop, and she was abiding by masks/distancing rules, so it was just me in there. No wait, she got to me promptly. First of all, Lisa is SO NICE, so kind, and she has a completely genuine warmth and sense of caring about her; it sounds silly cause I only met her the once, but with the level of care about me as an individual, it felt like an aunt was cutting my hair. It was really lovely! Not only that, but she truly did an excellent job on my hair! My partner was giving me home COVID haircuts -- which she did exceptionally well despite no training -- and the shape had gotten out of hand. I really needed a professional's help. My hair looks so good, y'all! She worked her magic and shaped it so beautifully that it behaves even without product. I really appreciate the detailed touches! I feel so good about my hair and my look, in a way that I haven't in a really long time. Thank you, Lisa!! I'll be back. :) read more

My husband and I have been going to Lisa for haircuts for over 20 years. She's amazing! She is a true professional, and her prices are quite low considering the wonderful job that she does. She's the best! read more

A very good haircut at a great price. Lisa really listened to me about what I wanted. I showed her two pictures and she really hit the mark. She took a good amount of time and didn't rush the haircut. And she mentioned she was doing a family's hair later that day. I passed the information onto my daughter who lives in the area with her family. I would highly recommend Lisa if you are in the Castro or nearby. read more

My new favorite spot! I got a great haircut last night on an hour's notice for only $32. When I walked into Lisa's she identified the areas I wanted fix right away and could see it had been a year since me last cut. Lisa treated my naturally curly hair perfectly, talked through my plan with me and made sure I was happy with her work along the way. My cut was dry and relatively quick (as i wanted) so I didn't get to see the full impact until today and I love it. The layers have lightened up the heaviness and my curl is popping up. Lisa mentions she prefers cash though was fine accepting my card, and I tipped in cash. I called ahead to see if she had availability and she told me when to arrive. She recommended calling in advance for the next appointment. The Shop is a stand alone spot next to Castro Theater--the ice cream photo here confused me. read more

Lisa is good, fast, and inexpensive! Hard to find all three!! I highly recommend her!

I came to Lisa after getting off work and about 40 minutes before close on a Saturday. Surprisingly, she had no customers and could take me in. I have walked past before and wanted to get a haircut here that time but she was busy. I was glad to finally get a haircut after 5 months and wanted to cut off some dead ends and thin it out. However, Lisa started to give me her advice on how my hair shouldn't be thinned out at this point because my current hair has really sparse ends. The bottom layer doesn't have enough thickness to it and should be grown out more then she can thin out the top layers. I've never had someone brought up the techniques to thinning out hair before. I've always just requested the same thing at every salon: to cut off at most 2 inches and thin out the hair and they've done it without further explanations. This time I did take her suggestion to let her cut off the dead ends first and come back a couple months later to thin it out and add some layers. I'm not sure how I felt and still feel about the cut since I did want my hair thinned out as I have pretty thick hair. I also did notice one piece of hair on the back side is shorter than the rest and it does bother me a bit. But for the price and for her good intentions I'm going to try to not let it deter me from coming back. It did seem like she really cared about the health of my hair to explain to the extent she did. So in a few months I will come back to assess how she does with layering and thinning my hair out. In total I paid $28 plus tip which wasn't bad at all. read more

I loved my haircut! I have wavy/curly hair that frizzes easily. Lisa did an excellent job creating the long, bouncy layers that I asked for. And she is such a gem and so sweet to talk to! read more

I ended up here by accident and I'm so glad I did. (I'd tried to go to Louie's on a friend's recommendation, but the barber told me the pixie cut I wanted was beyond what he could do and sent me across the street to Lisa's.) Lisa was immediately warm and friendly and worked me in between a couple of scheduled appointments. She works incredibly fast--so much so that I was a little worried about how my hair would turn out--but she did a beautiful job! The cut she gave me was a bit different than the photo I showed her, but it works so well with my face shape I honestly don't mind, I love it! I was also floored by the price, only $22 (that's the base price for a short haircut, doesn't include a shampoo). I will definitely be back, I found a gem! read more

Lisa is a STAR.... I say that as someone who is VERY finicky about my haircut! She is friendly and so very good at her job! She is more than conscientious about COVID protocols.... she's masked, you're masked, and the place is (as it always was) spotless! We learned about Lisa from a friend, what a great tip! If you get to have a haircut when you are a "walk-in", then lucky you! My best advise is call ahead and get an appointment. Tell her if it's your first time so she makes sure you get enough time and attention that she'll get to know your hair, and you, well enough to remember how you like it, every time. Lisa does it all, too! Cutting, coloring, wash ... everything. Her prices, too, are so reasonable that I feel bad if I don't tip up generously! I'm just so glad she's there. Go see Lisa, you'll be glad you did! (Can you tell I'm a BIG fan?) read more

Lisa does such a nice job, consistently. She keeps it simple, for me, which is how I like it, and she is ever-mindful of my cowlicks! She pleasant and welcoming, and most helpful, she is so accommodating to my schedule. Her fair prices encourage me to tip, especially in these lean business times. read more

Lisa is a wonderful and happy person with a lovely attitude She does great work and is so busy but will always try to fit you in her schedule read more

Only come if you're okay with a generic looking haircut. Came to get my mullet trimmed and now I look like every other tech bro in SF

Lisa was my barber starting in 2001 and I went to her at her place of employment and then at her own place when she left her boss. Thank goodness I found her. She's the very best and reasonable too. PS I no longer go and haven't been for a while since my wife cuts my hair otherwise she would be my gal! read more

I've been going to Lisa for years now. She's the best and always makes my hair look great! I hope she's going to be able to fix my crazy home-cut hair when she's allowed to reopen.... read more

She is maybe the best hair cutter I have ever had cut my hair. It is also a very pleasant place to go. Herman read more

I've been coming to Lisa for a decade. Great haircuts, great prices. But beyond that, she's just a lovely person. After talking about our children for years, she finally met my young son. Upon finishing my haircut, she promptly marched him next door and bought him an ice cream cone. We need more Lisas in the world! read more

Quick, cheap and awesome job for cut & color - I will definitely go back! I just moved to the area and like to support local, so called to get an appointment for cut and color after I saw their sign by Castro muni/bart stop. They had openings same day and told me to come in, which I did right then. She told me she had been there for 20 years - and even had a guy she used to cut hair for 7 years ago randomly stop in to say hello (and be persuaded into a quick nostalgic haircut as well, lol) as well. Both Lisa and Janet were very nice and friendly ladies and did the all the work as a team (Lisa doing the color between some very fast men's cuts, and Janet doing the my awesome cut and most prep work between). It cost $90 for both cut and highlights and I was out in a little over and hour (Lisa used a hand dryer to speed the color process). I was very delighted since I usually pay $200-$300 for same services elsewhere which usually takes 3 hours. Thanks for saving me time and money! :) read more

Best place for both women and men. I'm a woman and my hair was to my waist and cut down to shoulder. I paid half the price with my lovely ladies, with everything shampoo, massage, cut and careful blow dry-less than $50. Highly recommended because they are good and kind. Thank you my dears.

Lisa was incredible with my 2 year-old daughter, who was getting her very first haircut! Lisa made her feel at ease, and was very patient and flexible. She gave my daughter a great cut, and set her up so that her hair can grow longer in a tidy way. Lisa will definitely be my go-to for my daughter's hair. read more

Truly a gem of a place! Lisa's is the most reasonable price for a great haircut you will find in the area. It's my go to place for a quick appointment. I recently brought in a friend who paid so much for a bad haircut and Lisa brilliantly fixed it! read more

Pretty good cut for great price! Don't ask for anything complicated and definitely ask Lisa to cut your hair

Lisa always makes me fee extravagant. No matter who or what you look like, she will make you feel like a celebrity. I loved getting to know the history about her shop and how she likes to craft her magic. She's very reasonably priced and always make sure you leave satisfied. I can't wait for my hair to grow so I can come back. read more

Lisa is so nice. I don't think you can find a same-day, $20 women's haircut anywhere else in the city. She squeezed me into a 30 minute slot, so I washed my hair and headed over for the trim. Went well, she does temperature checks and wears the full gear. Has a box to put your belongings in, and a waiver to sign to get your haircut. I felt safe, and the haircut was great! read more

I won't be going there again. Despite the fact that: the ladies were nice, the location is convenient, the price is cheap compared to most places in the city, and I really wanted to like this place in general and desperately trying to find my go-to place. The lady who cut my hair obviously had no idea what I was trying to say. Even with a picture I showed her, she continued to cut my hair without an inkling of what I wanted. It costed $25 for a 15-mins haircut without wash or blow dry. And I tipped $5. Total of $30 for 15 mins of work is actually pretty pricey. Especially for something you didn't even ask for. read more

I've been going to Lisa's Hair Designs for years and just as others have already stated, Lisa does a fantastic job and best all of, she's warm friendly and has a heart of gold! Because of COVID, her shop is temporarily closed. These are incredibly tough times for hairstylists and small business owners and the city isn't making it easy to stay in business. I learned today that she would like to be able to stay in touch with her clients; she can be reached at: lisashairdesignsf@gmail.com Also a Go Fund Me page has recently been set up to help her stay afloat during these challenging times: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-lisa-hair-design?utm_medium=sms&utm_source=product&utm_campaign=p_susi-sms-welcome I'm so looking forward to her re-opening soon! read more

Lisa and Janette know what's up. Wonderful hair cuts and customer service. Lisa is kind and caring. read more

Janet really knows how to cut Asian hair and I really love the shampoo. I've been coming here for years and always feel refreshed at the end of the haircut. Can't beat the location and really appreciate the warm attitude. Walk-ins are OK but I would recommend that you make an appointment a day in advance. read more
