She is incredibly meticulous and detailed with her haircuts, wonderfully gentle and careful with washing, and amazing with hair color. You can tell she takes so much pride in her work and pays attention to every little detail. My hair is very difficult to cut because of years of processing, but she worked her magic. This is hands down the best haircut I've had in years! If you're looking for someone who is skilled, thoughtful, and truly cares about the quality of her work, I highly recommend Kiyoko.

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.

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. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a great stylist!

The haircut was rushed and I had to ask a few times for adjustments.

Unfortunately I will be searching for a new salon after this last session.

Exactly 1 year after the digital perm. Yumiko's cut and perm make this hairstyle look good at any length.

It always looks natural, grows out beautifully, and lasts forever without getting brassy. I'm pretty low-maintenance, and somehow my hair still looks put together months later because of her work. Her haircuts are also super clean, and she's actually the one who got me into curtain byayangs and I've stuck with them ever since.

I hesitated to post something critical of a small business, but this ultimately felt too important not to share. It's really hard to find someone who does curly cuts well, and I was so happy that my first experience with Adrian went so well! I live in Marin, about an hour from B Hair Love, but I didn't hesitate to book again. Unfortunately, the day of my second appointment, I got a text from Adrian just half an hour before it was scheduled for, telling me he was sick and needed to cancel. I was already on my way and had ordered dim sum to get a quick bite before the appointment. Despite my frustration about the late cancellation, it no longer made sense for me to drive the rest of the way just to get my lunch, and I offered that Adrian could pick up the pre-paid meal I had ordered. I know how miserable it feels to be sick and saw this as an opportunity to extend a kind as a gesture of support. I heard nothing back (even to say no thanks). The next day Adrian offered me an appointment for later that week, which I accepted, and again drove into SF. When I got to the salon, it was locked up and dark. I called multiple times, and texted, but didn't hear back. 10 minutes later, Adrian responded and had completely forgotten about our appointment. How much did NOT getting my haircut cost? + $50 in mileage + $19 in Golden Gate Bridge tolls + $30 in dim sum (not picked up) ---- = $99 + 4 hours of my time Oh, and I still had to find someone else to cut my hair (booked weeks out).

When I found out that my hair stylist of over 5 years had relocated to some far away land (north…read morebay), it kind of felt like a bad breakup. Was it something I did or said? Was I not getting my haircuts frequently enough? Did I neglect her? What do I do now?! While her move was all for a good reason, the thought of looking for a new hair salon was a bit terrifying, especially when I had someone cut my hair perfectly for so long. Then came the desperation. I saw a few stylists at the same salon and they were fine but they were missing a certain touch of style...my style. I don't get my hair cut very often so when I do, it's a pretty big ****ing deal. Just as my hair grew out to the point of unruly, there came an unexpected opportunity. Yelp hosted an elite event to showcase the newly re-opened Crocker Galleria and I was all over that like Batman on crime. Galleria Hair Design was giving free bang trims to attendees and after chugging a few beers, I had enough liquid courage in me to try it out. Because of the huge turn out, there weren't enough stylists to accommodate me. Eric H. apologized and gave me his business card for a rain check. Soon enough, I scheduled a bang trim online and crossed my fingers. After looking at a few photos and discussing details, Eric got to work. His attention to detail was spot on. He took his time and I really appreciated the active conversation not just around my hair but the kind that I always imagined a hair stylist would have with their client. We chopped it up! *pun intended* heh heh... I went back for a full cut today and I can proudly (and very happily) say that I have found my new hair salon. As much as I want Eric H. all to myself, I highly recommend him. He listens to every detail, is genuine with his opinions, and is focused on the customer experience. Price-wise, I can't complain. $65 for shampoo, cut and style beats the $90 I was paying for over 5 years! Thank you Yelp for the introduction and thank you Galleria Hair Design for sweeping me off my feet.

It was a great experience just like my first visit with AC, I felt warmly welcomed. I particularly enjoyed that there was a dog or two there just hanging out. I can't quite commit to owning one myself ,so it's such a gift to visit an establishment that has friendly dogs hanging out. Parking isn't easy or cheap in this neighborhood. Give yourself ample time to find parking (not easy withing 3 blocks of the studio) or park somewhere a little further and easier and take a waymo, cab, lyft, or homobiles the rest of the way. I found it easy to kill time by visiting The Wave Organ near Crissy Field before my appt (only 5 mins away). It was also a particularly hot day so by the time I parked and got to the studio, I was out of breath and sweating. As bedraggled as I was, I was warmly welcomed and offered a seat and some water immediately. AC must have kissed the Blarney Stone at some point because they are blessed with the gift of the gab. We had an enthralling conversation while they were working on my hair. Ask AC for some cool facts about hair. You won't be disappointed! It was such a pleasure to dialogue with them for an hour. They made me feel comfortable, heard, understood, and appreciated. Often times it can be intimidating for a tomboy like me to show up in a fancy hair place. The queer vibe was so welcoming.
