Kelly is my go to gal for my "every 6 weeks haircut". She's efficient and detailed in cutting my asian hair to be more cleaner and presentable. Although, like everything else for a cost of a 20 minute haircut prices went up. But she's still reasonable and convenient to get a good haircut in the City. Stong recommend. read more

Kelly did so great on my son's haircut today and you can't beat the price. My son hates to get his haircut but he did so well with Kelly and he enjoyed sitting in the little red car while she cut his hair. Highly recommend read more

Best haircut ever! I walked in and was able to get a quick trim with the nicest lady ever

She's been cutting out toddler's hair and we love her work. She's very patient and even has a little car chair for kiddos to sit.

Kelly is absolutely wonderful! I'm African American and wear my natural hair. Kelly gave me a great cut and she was in no rush, even after a couple of clients came in after me. I had made an appointment, but Kelly takes walk-ins, too. read more

I saw the offer on Yelp for a $20 cut, but when I arrived they said it was $26. when I complained that it was not what was posted the guy said they are the cheapest on the street and another place charges $52. do I think the price isn't fair? that's not really a good excuse. I walked a mile to get there the hair cut was fine. but it didn't look like they had any process to disinfect Combs and brushes. maybe they do, but Im guessing not. ask them also after I went up the street and found a place that had $23 cuts. 'new beauty' is the name. I'll go there next time so they aren't even the cheapest on the street. yelp still says $20 so still bait and switch situation. read more

This hair salon is modest and unassuming, with a casual vibe, and the cuts are incredible. Kelly is amazing! She has cut my daughter's hair every few months for the last couple of years and always knows exactly what to do for this teen who wants a low maintenance but cute style. She's working with a ton of very straight, very thick and long Asian hair and very little direction, but always somehow manages to do something magical. This latest visit was her college send off haircut, and wouldn't you know it, Kelly pulled another cool look out of her bag of tricks and someone is heading out of the nest very happy! Thank you so much, Kelly, she'll be visiting you when she's back in SF for vacations! read more

Got a woman's hair cut (no wash/style) today and it took about ~45 mins ish. I believe Kelly was my hair stylist and we chatted a bit, which was nice. I asked for a five inch trim and that's what she gave me! Accepts venmo. I would come back! read more

Kelly is one of the best stylists in the business. "Not to toot my own horn" I've been to many salons around the world, and this little spot took me for surprise. After the first cut, you will see a knack for detail that has you appreciating the craft of haircutting. Prices are great, give it a shot; a couple of friends I recommend this shop to keep coming back. read more

Had our boys first hair cut here! He was about 17 months old. It was great- she took great care of him and was very patient and got a whole bunch of hair out within 25 mins. He got 2 lollipops which he loved. read more

Great haircuts for really fair prices! I come here for my monthly, I can't wait until sip is lifted and they're back read more

Convenient, great place for men haircut, but I had a pretty bad haircut. Service was fine, but quality was very poor. I asked for a trim (he cut off 4 inches) and layers. I got two distinct choppy layers - looks pretty bad. Shampoo and cut was $40 (cash) or $41 (card). read more

I came in for a simple haircut and brow wax, and both were done amazingly. The service was great, and I can definitely see myself being a regular here :) read more

I would give this place negative stars if it was at all possible. I went to get my hair washed and styled. The Asian lady washed my hair and dried it with a hair dryer and called it a blow dry. Charged me for styling. Air dry would be better than what she made out of it. Never returning there again. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! read more

After Sunday brunch my son want it to have his hair cut. And we find this place just 2 blocks away. First time there and my son was very very please with finish. He say that first time his hair look so good and now he know where to go next time he need an haircut. read more

Have gotten my haircut here several times and all of the staff here are extremely helpful, friendly, and will take care of you. I get my haircut for 19 bucks here, and you can always walk in. The wait is never too long, and they are open 7 days a week really making it convenient. If you are looking for a fast and affordable haircut, I highly recommend Precision Hair Design. read more

Given the circumstances of COVID, my poor fiancé was forced to trim my hair 3x this past year (I was desperate and we were all about DIY learning on YouTube haha). But now that everything has reopened again I'm so glad to have found Kelly to give me my first professional trim!!! She is absolutely lovely and gave me exactly what I wanted, a healthy trim without it breaking the bank. I guarantee you won't find another women's haircut in the neighborhood for even close of the cost at Precision Hair Design. Walk-ins are totally welcome but I would recommend calling in ahead of time to guarantee an appointment. I will be definitely coming back. Thanks Kelly! :) read more

As someone who just moved to San Fran 2 months ago from Guam, Kelly is home away from home. She's amazing to be around, she always gives dope hair cuts, and the price is so reasonable. I super respect the barber shops that charge a ton for style and environment, but Kelly delivers on charm and quality alone. If I'm here in San Fran, I'm going to Kelly. End of story. read more

Kelly is the best with my semi balding Asian American hair style needs. :-) All jokes aside she knows how to style hair based on your hairline, shape of head and all my friends from college go to her still years after. read more

Dan cut my hair on about 2 minutes notice on a random Sunday. I needed the ends cleaned up. Nothing fancy. Done and wonderful in about 20 minutes for 25 dollars. I'm not a high maintenance human so this suited me just fine! Thank you. read more

great price at $21 for my men's haircut. there was so much attention to detail and she didn't seem to rush me out of the place! Very satisfied will definitely be back read more

Why would a man whose wife had a previous career as a hairstylist and enjoyed free, awesome haircuts for 15 years now pay for a haircut? Why would a man who lives two floors above a hair salon travel a good couple miles over to the Polk corridor to get a haircut? The answers to these questions are simple and part of the fabric and joy of life. Let me explain: My wife and I opened our first workout studio in Cow Hollow (Taylor Fit Studio) and it quickly consumed all of her time and energy, as would any small business. Some things had to give, including her valiant effort to keep going with the monthly haircuts. She was working too hard. Secondly, even though there is an awesome salon downstairs from us, sometimes you just have to get out of your neighborhood and have a good excuse to do so. So about three years ago I went in search of a new place to get my hair cut. I love Polk Street because it is one of the last great areas of the City that sort of just exists and relaxes in the face of gentrification. Tons of mom and pop type shops, unique restaurants and bars, oddities. You know what I'm referring to. Plus Polk Street just looks so good in the bright sunlight that comes and goes with the shifting cloud cover. And in my search I discovered Precision Hair Design at 1622 Polk. And I met Kelly who gave me a chair immediately and gave me a haircut that rivaled the perfection my wife had so faithfully delivered all these years. We exchanged stories, laughed, and the other hair stylists always have something to add. The vibe is always good in there. In and out in about 30 minutes, for $20. The value is amazing. And in hair-styling let's face it, there are heaps of places that charge a lot for mediocre results. To me, it's about value: 1) in and out, no fuss, 30 minutes max, 2) friendly no-nonsense service from Kelly, 3) an amazing haircut that even passes muster with my lovely wife, 4) $20, 5) tons to see and do nearby, before and/or after your haircut (e.g., Swan Oyster Depot, Bob's Donuts, Utsuwa Floral Design, The Cinch, Brownies Hardware, Miller's East Coast Delicatessen, and if you get down towards Broadway, Belle Cose and Shang's; the list is endless). Getting your hair cut should be fun, inexpensive, and an event. Kelly delivers just that over at Precision Hair Design. read more

Kelly is great, so friendly and gives a great haircut. I used to get my haircut in the Financial District but with COVID I am finding more places near me. read more

Steve is the best barber in all of San Francisco. I love coming here to get my haircut. Great service, almost always able to take you, great people. read more

Dan is the man. He puts the precise in Precision Hair. Super quick, precise, and accommodating. I just show him a picture of what I'm looking for and he gets to work, but stops along the way and checks in with me for input to make sure it looks as I'm expecting. Well worth the $21. read more

Walked in on a Sunday afternoon and had my hair cut by Annie. Super friendly, excellent haircut and pretty quick too. Didn't need to wait for a walk-in either. Annie wasn't super chatty, but I kind of prefer that anyways (and didn't make an effort to talk either). Other hairdressers there were also very friendly, making for a really pleasant and relaxed environment while you get your hair cut. $20 for a men's haircut is also super cheap, couldn't believe the quality for the amount of money I spent. read more

Back in the city and need a haircut. Stumbled upon Precision when I was walking in this particular area of Polk. Kelly the owner was the one who did my hair. She knew exactly what I wanted and was friendly to talk to. Kelly works hard to improve and develop her business so I would definitely recommend giving her place a try as you will be satisfied with her work. read more

This is the first time writing a review on Yelp, and unfortunately, it's a bad one. I came here based on the reviews and nearby location, with high hopes of finding a new go to spot since my normal hairdresser was closed for the day. This was not the case. I was greeted by an Asian lady (a little on the heavier side - not to be confused with the thinner Asian lady who also works there), who guided me toward the hair washing station. I immediately found out that she barely spoke any English, so I knew this might be difficult. I've had a language barrier with a hair dresser before (who is WONDERFUL and works at Shear Image on Geary), so I still had high hopes. The hair washing was okay, but took a bit longer than most washes I've had. It wasn't until she accidentally got water in my ear that I thought to myself, "Uh oh, I have a feeling she might do some sloppy work." But what distracted me and kept my hopes high was the lady next to her (washing another customers hair), admiring my Superman tattoo, haha. Haircut time. I tell her AND show her a picture of exactly how I want my haircut. Nothing fancy, just chop it short to align with my jawline. She says, "No, a little longer." I tell her, "No, that's too long. I really want it short like this," motioning to my jawline. She assures me that it'll be short like that in the back and just a little longer in the front. I'm convinced as well as pressed for time, so we proceed. She somewhat clumsily and slowly gets all her tools ready, and adjusts my chair. What does she do next? SHE SITS DOWN BEHIND ME AND STARTS TO CUT MY HAIR. I have NEVER had anyone who cut my hair SIT DOWN. Who does that??? I cringe at the thought of what my hair must look like in the back. I also don't have my glasses on (I'm practically blind w/out them), so I can't really see her progress. Eventually, she gets the blow dryer out and blow dries it WAY too much - to the point where it was starting to frizz, ugh. Not only does she spend too much time blow drying and "styling" my hair, she accidentally HITS ME IN THE HEAD with the blow dryer (ouch!). I look at her through the mirror (fuzzily since I'm still glasses-less), and wait for her to apologize and ask if I'm ok. Instead, since I'm not writhing in pain, she looks at me and starts to laugh. Wtf? WHO DOES THAT?? I can tell in the mirror that my hair isn't short enough, but I'm thinking, "Maybe she's gonna continue cutting it after drying it....?" It gets to the point where I realize she's done cutting, so I stop her and ask how short it is in the back. She hands me my glasses (which she also dropped), and it isn't anywhere near the length I asked for. I'm not usually one to complain, but I was NOT about to pay for a haircut that I didn't ask for. Once again, I tell her how short I want it (while apologizing to her...wtf is wrong w/me?) and that it needs to be so short that she has to shave my neck. She agrees to "fix" it. Now I'm thinking, "Crap, now she's just gonna do a hack job on me." Guess what? I was right. After what seems like 20-30 mins of spraying, hacking my hair and weed whacking my neck with the electric shaver (cringe), the length looks right, but it looks nothing like the picture I showed her. I didn't get a good look in the mirror bc I just wanted to get out of there, but from what I saw, it looked very sloppy and uneven. Finally, after paying, I head out of the shop and walk home w/my hood on bc I can't bare to let ppl see this awful haircut I just got. When I get home, I look in the mirror and notice that not only is my haircut uneven on both sides, there are also small patches missing from the front and back of my hair. TLDR: 1.) Got water in my ear when washing my hair 2.) Argued with me on how short my hair should be 3.) Accidentally hit me in the head w/the blow dryer, didn't apologize, and laughed it off 4.) Had to re-cut my hair to the length I originally asked for, and did a horrible, uneven, hack job. 5.) Spent $28 on one of the worst haircuts AND service I've ever received 1/2 a star for the free hair wash that's given to first time customers. Another 1/2 star to the lady who loved my Superman tattoo. Never. Coming. Back. Again. read more

I went for a quick neckline trim ($11) and left totally baffled at how incompetent they were. Actually could have done it better myself without a mirror. I tried pointing out that it wasn't straight, and after 3 times of me insisting it wasn't, I gave up after she continued to resist fixing it. Never in a million years would I trust them with a full haircut and was shocked to see their average rating was above 3. Just wow! read more

Got a great hair cut today from an asian gentlemen. no line, great service, and great price. I will be returning for sure. It's $30 for a women's hair cut ($20 is just for men). Free shampoo and wash (i think they washed my hair for a good 10-15min). Another solid 60min spent on cutting, drying, and refining the cut. Long layers and a face frame, the stylist had great technique - absolutely no complaints! read more

Great haircut, great value. I'm basically OCD and only leave Yelp reviews when something is either very good or very poor. Dan nailed my haircut after giving him more notes than is polite. What I liked: he spent a ton of time, not rushing and constantly comparing lengths on the top and fading slightly tighter on the sides - very detail oriented. It's cheap at $20. I've had haircuts at "hipper places" for $40 where they do a good job, might offer you a soda of have better window trappings, but not as much detail and execution. Also open Sunday, which is a huge plus. read more

Great Haircut for $20! One of the few places close to me that are open on Sundays and yet relatively affordable. I'm going to give this 5 stars and comment here so I will remember to come back to this place next time. read more

I've been here several times and I have gotten my hair cut by several of the people who work here. It's a great place, never a long wait and always friendly and helpful. Tell them exactly how you want it and they will do their best to make sure it comes out the way you want it to. I have spent some time in the barber's chair going back and forth with Steve (I think) and Annie as they work to get my hair cut the way I would like it. To top it all off, you cant beat the prices... $21 for a man's simple cut. read more

Being very picky with my hair, it was rough finding a new barber moving into the city a few years back. I have been bouncing around barbers, trying to find not only the best but also a place where I can relax after a long days of work. After a full year of trying new places, I discoverd my true love, Kelly! Kelly is the absolute best after trying over 20 different barbers in the city. She always has a smile on her face and will help you look and feel great! I highly recommend Kelly to all ages and everyone! She really is the best. Really. read more

Kelly, a kind human being and diligent worker. Services are affordable and more than satisfactory.

Great neighborhood place. Kelly and her colleagues take care good care of their customers.

Made a trip after reading Yelp reviews and I had to get a last minute (during my lunch break) haircut for Lunar New Year. Walked in and told them I wanted a cut. Annie (who is only there Weds & Thurs) sat me down and asked me how I wanted my hair cut. I told her to just trim the ends and layer my hair. She took what I said and went to work. She kept my hair long and cut it to where it shaped my face. I love my new hair cut and will be back! Only downfall was I didn't receive the free wash a dry they advertised. read more
