I found Noelle through Yelp after having to let my previous barber go for telling me my hair is getting very thin and will look like her bald son soon. Not a chance. I don't give my hair much attention but know it's not getting thin. Noelle can attest to that. So I go on Yelp to find a new barber. After trying some other shops, where they were more into pushing product which I don't use, I found Noelle came very highly rated at one of her previous shops. I could not score an appointment but went to that shop anyway. Not disappointed, it wasn't what I was looking for. She soon opened her own shop in the Castro. I finally got an appointment and have not looked back. Her new shop in the Mission is her own. It's a fantastic place where she makes everyone feel welcome. Make sure to gaze at the mural. She is very easy to talk to and is one of the most personable people I have ever met. I sit down, we decide of it's a 4 or 5 on the clipper, and clean up. Specializing in shorter haircuts it's a pleasure to sit on the chair and shoot the %@#&. For COVID, I make sure I bring a spare mask to catch the loose hair and swap out as I exit. She usually will have spares for you. She takes the time to sanitize after every client so you san be sure your health and safety are a priority. read more

Noelle is terrific. Native Hair is a comfortable and pleasant place to get your haircut and beard trimmed. Their online reservation is straightforward and easy to perform. In a city with many options, Native Hair stands out. read more

Noelle has cut my hair since I moved to SF in 2016 and I was ecstatic when she told me she was opening her own shop in the Mission. I probably go in more frequently than I need to because she's the first barber I've ever had that I enjoy talking to and really becoming friends with. Short haircuts can be really tough to get right, and often end up looking unkempt quickly, but Noelle has gotten it right for me since day 1 and her work always lasts longer than I expect. Her skill and warmth with her clients is a sight to behold. I recently introduced my super-picky boyfriend to Noelle after a couple disappointing haircuts elsewhere, and he's hooked. She intuited exactly what part of his hair bothers him when it gets too long, and he's turned into a total Native Hair regular. Tl;dr I highly recommend Noelle and Native Hair for anyone looking for true hospitality and unmatched skill. PS - in COVID times, Native Hair feels super safe. Masks on hand if you don't want to get hair on yours, the door stays wide open for ventilation, and there's a fan going constantly for airflow. read more

I'm seriously so happy I found Noelle at Native Hair. I keep really short and stylish haircuts and Noelle gets it right every time. She is incredible. The studio is lovely and clean and bright. read more

I came into native hair to see the newest stylist Wren- she was amazing!! Wren specializes in curly hair, and with I, myself, having straight hair, I was a little nervous- but my hair has never looked so good!!! She has the unique ability to get to know the clients needs quickly and give them the haircut of their dreams. I got a balayage cut with layers that shapes my face perfectly. Since seeing Wren, I've gotten compliments left and right. This seasoned stylist uses her skills and knowledge to create the perfect hair. I was incredibly impressed and I will definitely be coming in again soon :) read more

I first met Noelle over 4 years ago when I was a new face to the city and looking for someone who knew that a good haircut can provide the confidence that almost nothing else can. In that first appointment she talked about one day opening up her own place and it was easy to tell that she was someone who found joy in listening to others and helping them feel (and look) their best. Since that first appointment she's been my go-to and I've sent countless friends who have all had similar experiences. Don't go expecting just a barber/stylist because Noelle goes all in to understanding what will feel good to you and then applying a practitioner's eye to coming up with something wonderful. She's an absolute gem as is her new place. You'll be grateful. read more

I was introduced to this amazing artist by a referral from my former manager and local artist who has been going to her for years. When looking for a barber I look for someone that I can fully trust with my hair, who is consistent with their art and who makes me feel welcomed in their shop. Noelle has been by far the best person for the job. She is friendly, professional, absolutely passionate about her career and prioritizes every detail in her craft to ensure exceptional results. I am so proud of her studio, honored to be her client and completely recommend her to anyone seeking a quality cut.  Thank you Noelle, you make me love my hair. read more

I was in desperate need of a haircut and decided to check out a local salon that recently opened in the midst of the pandemic. Noelle was so sweet, perfectly punctual and obviously talented. I cannot think of one flaw and will definitely be recommending Native Hair to my family and friends! read more

I've been going to Noelle for my haircuts for over three years now and I've always been pleased with how my hair looks after my appointments with her. Noelle not only does a phenomenal job every time I get a haircut from her but she is also very personable and makes every visit an enjoyable experience with her kindness and humor. It's no surprise that her hard work has paid off and that she's been able to open up her own shop, something that is all the more impressive given the pandemic. Her new shop looks great (there is an awesome mural that looks amazing) and is very inviting. Getting an appointment with her is easy with her online booking system, and she has taken every precaution (e.g., sanitizing, wearing masks) to make sure her clients feel safe. I highly recommend getting a haircut from her. I'm sure she'll become your go-to barber. read more

I happened to walk by Native Hair after months in lockdown, met Noelle, and made an appointment. I needed a haircut desperately after my snarky former stylist, pre-pandemic, kept me waiting for more than an hour and was annoyed when I gave up and left. Noelle was welcoming, gracious, and on time for my appointment. She cut off 7 inches of lockdown growth and gave me the haircut of my dreams. I went back to her for a trim a few months later and again, I was just thrilled with the results. Noelle is truly a gem - talented, highly skilled, and very easy to work with. I can't think of a single reason why I would ever want to go to anyone else! She's just a terrific person and a superb stylist. I feel very fortunate to have found her! read more

Noelle has been a godsend for me. I've been a loyal client of hers for going on 5 years and have followed her to every location. She's first and foremost just a great great human. Couldn't ask for a more caring and genuine person to sit with every month. =). She's also incredibly skilled. I'm a short-haired guy and before Noelle I never in my life found a barber who could actually style it while keeping it clean at the same time. Her new shop is fantastic and in a super cool neighborhood as well. Can't recommend Noelle enough! read more

Noelle cut my hair a few years ago before she opened her own salon. I think she's great so I have stayed with her. She's a pro and I'm always happy with my cuts. She's also as nice as can be. And her prices are reasonable. I alternate between getting my hair cut ($40) and getting a "line up / clean up" cut ($10), which is a quick clean up around ears and neckline, which extends the life of my haircut and saves money. I recommend! read more

Cannot recommend this shop enough. I followed my stylist Nawal/Noelle through three different shops and this one is the best setup of the three. I always come away enjoying my haircut. She listens but also gives good input. I recommend her to all my friends. Oh and she's born and raised in Sf so good hometown vibes all around. read more

Noelle is awesome! Always have a great chat and leave with a sharp haircut. I started going to Native hair a few months ago after trying different barbers all over the city and it has been a great experience, highly recommended! read more

Noelle is the best! I'm so glad I got randomly paired up with her a few years ago at another shop. Been going to her ever since, even after moving out of SF. The trim and good conversation is well worth the longer trip for me. read more

Spectacular! I have been getting my hair cut by Noelle for years and Native Hair is a great new place to continue getting excellent haircuts. Plenty of space and very clean, I always recommend Noelle for a high quality stylish haircut. read more
