She told me she could do it, but unfortunately, it became clear during the haircut that she did not know how to achieve the style. She cut my hair short and then tried to use a hairdryer and comb to make it look like the pictures, but it did not work. I showed her the reference photos again and asked if she could get help from someone else. She asked a colleague, who showed her how to cut the style, but she still seemed unsure how to do it. Eventually, the owner had to step in and finish the haircut for me. For a long-hair haircut that cost about $100 total ($85 for the haircut plus a $15 tip), I was very disappointed with the experience. At this price point, I expected the stylist to be able to achieve the hairstyle she had confirmed she could do, or to be upfront from the beginning if it was outside her expertise. Unfortunately, based on my experience, it was not worth the price or time.

Hung doesn't just cut hair; he really understands it. I can show him a random Pinterest photo or just explain what I have in mind, and he somehow creates exactly what I didn't even know I wanted. His style and skill are unmatched. He knows how to work with your face shape, hair texture, and what fits your lifestyle, not just what's popular.

I found this salon with a Yelp search this summer during my transition from one Country to the next. I found the on-line appointment system, highly efficient and got an appointment convenient for me on short notice. I had Carlo Martini do a hair color and cut for me. His hair coloring and cut were the best I have had in my life and out of the many Countries I have lived and travelled to over years and had my hair done in.(Australia, Singapore, London, Russia, Indonesia, New York, to name a few) It was even a few weeks after I arrived in Saudi Arabia that I realized how great the color was. Natural, not brassy, no lines just beautiful! The cut is growing out so nicely and after 8 weeks both color and cut still look fab! I'm quite afraid to go to another stylist at this point and have them ruin both. I would fly him here if they allowed it and he could bring his chemicals on the plane! Great personality and fun to talk with. A real Pro! Knows his stuff. I would highly recommend this salon and especially Carlo Martini! read more

I have been going to Red Union for a year and a half. Mika is my stylist. She listens to what I want every time. She is so artistic in the way she cuts and colors, which is so comforting. She has helped me with changing my hair style, and making decisions on what looks best, which is hard for a male to find. So many of the stylists I have been to give me the typical boy haircut. I have sent so many of my friends to her and they have all been extremely happy. Oh and I get so many compliments since going to her. You will too I promise. They have gossip magazines to read, which I love, as well as featured artists artwork. She always offers me a cold beverage and she puts this heated rice pad around my neck. Of course this is for her most valued clients I assume (he he). LOVE YOU MIKA!! read more

Since my "regular" stylist of 4 years booked for Australia 3 years ago, I've been bouncing around between salons and stylists with limited success. I've finally found a suitable replacement, an upgrade in fact, in Red Union. The place has a great feel, the staff is friendly and fun and Heather did a super job with my haircut. I have been looking for something that manages a compromise between my conservative corporate job and my diverse social settings and Heather came up with a style that is easy to manage and looks great in either venue. She takes a creative and thorough approach to her work and she is all about making you happy with the results. Personally, I couldn't be happier. I'll be going nowhere else and to no one else from now on. read more

Carlo Martini is everything you would want in your hair stylist. He is talented and creative. Carlo has been cutting my hair since 2001, and I always receive compliments from strangers as well as friends. Carlo does not just cut hair, he is a gifted stylist. His philosophy is that hair is an asset that should be styled to frame and flatter the face, not to hide it. He is also a talented colorist. He artfully matches color to skin tones and hair. When I brought a good friend to him several years ago, she absolutely loved the result. She said that he had actually recreated the blonde color of her childhood. She looked great! Do yourself a favor and visit him at Red Union Salon. You won't be disappointed. read more

I have extensions and needed a move up and more highlights. I was late to the appointment so she had to rush, but the color just was not a match. During the appointment it felt like a passive aggressive experience, during which she pulled my hair the entire time. It was exceptionally rough, and having my hair done all my life that has never been the case. Not only that, but the color just does not hit. My tape-in extension was even on the floor at one point, and she just picked it up and carelessly placed it. I've never had slipping, and these extensions have legit fallen out (while out), and I take really good care of them. Here is a picture of my color now, after less than 2 months. I'm not sure how this is considered blonde, and I've been blonde for over a decade. My hair is also not hard to lighten, (my family are natural platinum on my father's side). Like I said, it felt like one passive aggressive experience where I was uncomfortable and felt unwelcome. People make mistakes with showing up late but that doesn't mean you should give someone a bad experience. I understand as an independent contractor you need to protect your time, to which I'm sorry, but the results just didn't deliver even though there actually was enough time as was stated during the process.

Long story shorter the salon manager returned my call the next day and had a plan for me to return to see Lindsay. Lindsay gets five stars for professionalism. She is sweet and talented and attempted to fix my hair. Disappointed I had such poor communication because three people there all also believed I was there for highlights.

This salon is super cute too, and seeing Fiona is always a treat - I leave confident every time with the most amazing hairstyles that last me through my DJ sets and all the elements for at least a week! She is a hair expert with years of experience, an artists eye, and deep level of care. My hair is hard for most to style but I am so lucky to have found her.

I had a wonderful experience with Yahaira…read more After a yellow highlight elsewhere, I was looking for someone who would take the time to really listen and help me achieve a softer, cooler blonde. From the moment I arrived, I felt comfortable and cared for. What I appreciated most is that Yahaira works one-on-one. There wasn't a crowded salon, people waiting, or the feeling of being rushed through an appointment. She took her time, paid attention to every detail, and was incredibly meticulous, careful, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. She is kind, easy to talk to, and made the appointment enjoyable. She even asked what type of music I liked and put it on, which was such a thoughtful touch. I never felt like I was inconveniencing her with questions or conversation. It's clear that Yahaira is passionate about blonde hair and understands the challenges of achieving beautiful blonde tones while maintaining healthy hair. I felt she genuinely cared about getting the best possible result for me. As an added bonus, I was able to park on the street. If you're looking for a stylist who is patient, detail-oriented, talented, and truly invested in her clients, I highly recommend Yahaira. Thank you for your kindness, professionalism, and the care you put into your work.

I've followed Katie around this city for the past 9 years. She is my hair and stylist oracle; I…read moretrust no one else with my hair. When I heard that she left her former chair to start her own salon, I knew I just had to see her again. I couldn't be more proud of her and what she's done. She is amazing at her craft, and I am so happy to continue and support her. Before meeting Katie, I was very amateur and clueless when it came to hairstyles and using spa services. Shoot, I still am, but it doesn't matter when you have her on your side! She's sensitive to your needs but also knows how to give ya a gentle push if you're looking for something different. She cuts my hair the way I like it, too- several times- with no disappointment. And all of the photos I see of the weddings she worked on looks FANTASTIC! When that time comes, I know who I'll be seeing... I've had a journey with her. We went down the red hair single-color treatment, the ever-popular balayage, OG highlights, and more recently- she cut off 13 inches of dreadlocked heartbreak city. I felt and continue to feel like a million bucks. Plus, she taught me SO MUCH. What kind of treatments to use for my thin hair, how to use texture creams and a diffuser for when I missed the way my hair felt after swimming off the Hawaiian beaches, how to use all the heating tools, etc. etc. From fringe to bob to peekaboo hair color and blowouts galore. She kills it, and her new space is absolutely gorgeous. Very friendly atmosphere, a myriad of services to serve all women- plus she shares the space with friendly talented babes that do tanning and other services. I couldn't recommend a better person to trust your hair with. Whether you have been going to salons your entire life and need a change, or are interested in a hair pick me up, she is your go-to!!

For my wedding, we didn't even do a run through - I just knew that what she would dream up (hair AND makeup) would be perfect! And I loved everything about her vision. It met mine with ease. I am excited about her new spot, Rooted. Katie is a collaborator and is committed to bringing together amazing people. I cannot wait to see what she dreams up next!

I've been a loyal client at Cinta Salon in San Francisco for over 14 years, and it remains one of…read morethe finest, most high-end salon experiences in the city. From haircuts and styling to color, the quality of service is consistently exceptional. A special mention goes to Dympna, who is truly a magician with hair. Her expertise, creativity, and attention to detail are unmatched. She always takes the time to understand exactly what I'm looking for and somehow exceeds my expectations every time. The entire team is warm, professional, and genuinely kind. The salon is always immaculate, with a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit feel like a treat. From the excellent coffee and tea service to the thoughtfully curated magazines, every detail reflects the salon's commitment to a luxury client experience. Located near Union Square, it's also incredibly convenient, with plenty of nearby parking options. If you're looking for a high-end salon with talented stylists, exceptional service, and a beautiful atmosphere, I can't recommend Cinta, and especially Dympna, highly enough!

Thank you, Mardy! So friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and funny!…read more Great hair washing (so comforting and it felt so good!), hair trim (ends were getting thin), bangs cut (after I messed up cutting them myself), and new layers. I wish I could describe why I like my bangs more now. I've always had bangs but these are the best they've ever looked--they're different and I can't articulate why or how! Cinta is up stairs on the 2nd floor near Union Square and Market St. It's bright, sterile, clean, and light. They fill up! They get busy! Come here and see Mardy!
