It's always a pleasure to see Daniela and Lu! Went in for color correction and a trim, and got exactly what I wanted. As usual, Daniela never uses a one size fits all approach, and considers hair type, porosity, bone structure, skin tone and many other factors to deliver a work of art. Daniela cannot go wrong!! read more

Daniella is truly the best at what she does! She loves her work, and you can tell throughout the entire visit. I had never been to a European salon before, and felt like a true celebrity wearing the gown she provides. No one wants to walk around with wet, stained, bleached, or discolored clothes after a visit, so it is such a nice and thoughtful touch. It feels as if she sees hair as a blank canvas to use for her artistry. She walks you through every step of the way, whether it's the cut or color so that you feel involved in the whole process. During the cut she even verifies with you looking in the mirror if that is the amount you'd like to cut, so there are no surprises. She gives her best recommendations on color and the technique to use to get the most natural, chic outcome while maintaining the hair's health and integrity. My hair went from almost pitch black to naturally beachy and sunkissed! Another thing to mention is that she uses all high end products, and she is very knowledgeable about the science behind the products she uses (how they will blend, what areas will color more, etc.) which was appreciated! I learned something new every time. It is no wonder her clients come from not just all over Northern California to see her, but from all over the world! Thank you Daniella, and can't wait to see you and Lu next time! :) read more

I just wanted to give another update and mention again that Daniela is the best colorist I have ever used. She convinced me it was time to go lighter in order to hide my grey hair as it grew out, and it now looks marvelous! Daniela is a true artisan and she doesn't just color hair, she creates masterful artwork on your head with her magic color brush. She exclusively uses Framesi Milan hair color, which blows Aveda and most other hair color brands out of the water. Oh yeah, to address complaints from other reviewers, Daniela will let you know if you are late. So show up on time as she is a one-woman salon and does EVERYTHING by herself, and is booked solid every day. One late customer sets her behind for all her customers that follow. read more

Danielle is amazing! She's precise, informative along the way, and goes above and beyond! She did a great job on my hair and I'm very happy!

I'm still trying to wrap my head around my entire experience here, but I felt like I was being scammed the entire time. Even reading these reviews again they feel unauthentic. It started with her handing me a cheap silk robe and asking me to take off my clothes under it. I was very confused because I had a tight tank top on that in no way would interfere with my hair cut. My haircut and blowdry, mind you she did not wash it due to time constraints, was over an hour long. And she kept cutting it for the sake of cutting it. I said 1-1.5 inches off the bottom and I left with about 5 inches off. She also kept showing off her skills while my hair was wet, which is clearly not when a client wants to be looking in the mirror like a wet dog in the middle of a hair cut. Daniela herself felt ingenuine. I'm even more confused after seeing contradicting photos/names on venmo and yelp to the Daniela I met in person. The haircut ended with her having me stage a video of myself showing off my hair on HER phone, basically from the perspective of a client yet I was forcefully handed her phone and instructed to candidly laugh and not look at the camera. I have no idea where she will be using that video but I am very uncomfortable that I did that. read more

Daniela is a dedicated professional. She loves what she does and continues to study techniques to improve and expand her already excellent work. I highly recommend her salon. read more

I highly recommend this place if you want your hair done by someone who are knowledgeable and who cares about your hair staying healthy and looking amazing. I spent a lot of time trying to find the perfect place and stumbled upon Daniela's salon in Noe valley. The reviews were the main reason I chose Salon Bello, and they did not disappoint. An additional plus was Daniela's flexibility when I was scheduling the appointment as well as her quick responses via text messages. She met me at 6am on a Sunday morning which was perfect for me that weekend. She did a great job with my blonde highlights! Avoiding bleach and teaching me about the different products and the process. Overall, it was a pleasant morning where time flew by. Lastly, she has the sweetest dog, named Lu, who made the morning even better. read more

Two words: "FIRST CLASS"! That is how I would describe Daniela Lorenz the owner of "Salon Bello" in San Francisco. I have been using her services for the last 10 months and have thoroughly enjoyed my time with her. My hair has never looked better! I was coloring my hair out of a box during the Pandemic and it was black! Daniela has patiently worked with me to get my hair back to a healthy color and texture and I just love it! I am so happy I found her! She is a wonderful person and an absolute professional! read more

I love my hair !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Daniela !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 She made me so cool and hipster I love it !!!!!! Daniela called it edgy...made me feel good !...I showed her like 30 pictures of different styles that I thought were similar. She was very patient and had me narrow it down to 3...I have the most cutest layers cut in this direction that makes it extra special as it kinda swirls around. I chose a style that I researched online from Japanese layered haircuts that accentuate the head shape. It's decades old in Japan...but nobody here does them....except for Daniela and I love it ! I love her gentle well behaved doggie and the octopus statue ! I loved the Noe Valley neighborhood, I am new to area. Parking is metered parking only, but Sundays and after 6pm are free ! This was my first appointment and it was good that I was the last appr of the day because she really took her time to understand what I wanted....very much conversation and studying the photos before the cut began. What to expect...this is an artist and she needs time to focus on details, this means that you need to arrive on time...but don't interrupt if she is with another client. You will be happy with the way you look in Daniela's care...and she is very versatile ! read more

Daniela has been cutting my hair for the last couple of years and it is always a lovely experience. She is not satisfied unless the cut and color are both truly great. She is patient and has been very generous to me with her time. I like hearing about her travel stories and the latest techniques for styling whenever I go in. I've learned a lot about how to take better care of my hair from Daniela and trust her to be honest with me. I am a very happy repeat customer! And she has the sweetest dog who sits at the front of the office. read more

Unlike others, I had a truly negative experience from beginning to end with Daniela in terms of her demeanor. It has been months but I realize it still bothers me, hence this review. The quality of my haircut was on par with other quality hair stylists in the city, though I wasn't able to stick around for the extra finishing to my blowout because it had already run nearly two hours and I had a newborn (my first child, born a little over a week before my appt) to care for waiting for me. My usual stylist has limited availability and works in the marina. There was no way with a new baby that I could carve out time to see her, so I took a chance on Daniela. We texted the evening before and I sent her a $50 non refundable deposit to secure the appt for the next morning. The morning of the appt, I walked in literally no more than 7 minutes late - all while communicating to her my arrival time over text - partly because of said newborn and because it was my first time and I missed the front door the first drive around the block. I also work in a profession that runs on appts, so I understand how frustrating it is when clients aren't punctual, but there is still some grace. When I walked in I apologized profusely and blamed the 10 day old baby, my first, who I am still amazed I stole time away from to make it to this appt. Instead of accepting my apologies and welcoming me, Daniela literally looked me up and down and gave me so much hurtful attitude for the first quarter of my appt, and even went so far as to look at my body and ask me if I was still pregnant. I was shocked and told her no, as I had just told her about my giving birth a little over a week ago, to which she just casually waved off by saying that she didn't know, because she's never had kids. From there on she spent a long time discussing and executing what was really a simple trim to my long hair which made me anxious given the limited time I had with her. I also felt like I had to win her over the whole time, and she obnoxiously kept commenting to herself about my excellent manners and basically talking herself into changing her preconceived attitude about me. By the end of it she was singing my praises and telling me repeatedly that she would be excited to have me back, etc. In those vulnerable first days after giving birth, I needed to be cared for, which I think most moms can relate to. And I think in general most folks go into a salon looking for a polite conversation and to feel pampered. Instead Daniela cost a pretty penny for an average cut and style that took a very long time to make me feel anxious and badly about myself. I would never recommend her to anyone or patron her business again. read more

I highly recommend Daniela and Salon Bello! I've been coming here for about a year or so. I have had haircuts, root coverage, hair conditioning treatment, and balayage by Daniela. My hair is much healthier since seeing Daniela and I always leave pleased with the outcome. Daniela is a one-woman hair salon. She runs the whole business from the front desk to cleaning to hair stylist. Her prices are very fair for the quality of work she does. She takes the time to get to understand what your wants and needs are while educating you and also being honest about how different colors and styles will turn out based on your hair color, hair texture, and facial features. She takes pride in what she does, spends time giving you her best work, and is very generous. Daniela never pushes anything she doesn't think you need. She has never pushed any products on me, and, the couple of products I have bought from Salon Bello have been amazing and great purchases while also very affordable. Daniela will give you the product for exactly what it's selling for anywhere else without overcharging for no reason. It's a really relaxing and pretty secluded environment. Usually you'll be the only client in the salon at a time or once in a while there will be another client there for a short while. She's very flexible with her schedule, and also appreciates her clients treat her time and livelihood with respect. I highly recommend Daniela! Her work is high quality and she's very good at what she does. read more

After years of searching, I finally found a great men's hairstylist in San Francisco. Having grown up in Europe, when I moved to the Bay Area I was disappointed by the experience I had having my hair cut. Usually the process was rushed and invariably the "stylist" either didn't listen or wasn't capable of giving me the type of cut that I wanted. I felt like I was on a production line where everyone gets the same generic cut and looks the same as everyone else. All this changed on my first visit to Salon Bello. It was obvious to me that Daniela is a professional, and is in a completely different league from most stylists that I've tried since I moved to the US. For example she adjusted the way she cut according to the contours of my head, clearly explained her recommendations and discussed them with me to make sure I was happy. I went into Salon Bello looking like a shaggy dog and thanks to Daniela's skills and artistry emerged with a slick European style cut which I love. Her years of experience, training with some of the top European salons and caring personality come together to deliver great a experience. I highly recommend Salon Bello and Daniela's  services. If you're like me you won't regret it. read more

I was so lucky to be referred to Salon Bello when I moved to SF 3 years ago, and I haven't gotten my hair cut anywhere else since. Daniela is the best of the best and is the only person I trust to cut my hair. Amazing cut, very reasonable rates, and my hair always comes out the way I wanted. read more

Daniela is simply a GENIUS with hair. She is both an artist and a scientist with hair. Her level of detail, her knowledge, artistry, and the fact that she takes such great pride in her work, all come together with simply stunning results! I cannot stress anymore about how GREAT she is. I was recommended to Daniela last minute by a friend after I had gone to a different salon that ruined my hair color (see before and after pictures); Daniela graciously made room for me in her busy schedule to accommodate my emergency hair color disaster. She was very upfront about the whole correction process and had a scientific approach to how she was going to try to fix it (first starting by testing pieces of my hair to see how it would react to the new color); Daniela could have simply dyed my hair dark all over and called it a day, but instead she chose to actually FIX my hair and give me the results I was trying to get before the other salon destroyed my hair. She spent 4+ hours toning my hair and then meticulously and artistically placing the most perfect lowlights to correct the color. The results were gorgeous and nearly brought me to tears--she gave me the beautiful honey color I was trying to achieve. I cannot stress enough how much skill she has. She is the best hair stylist I have ever been to. I don't live in the Bay Area anymore, but I plan to travel to have Daniela do my hair--I don't trust anyone else with it! To sum it up: Daniela is super gifted with hair, goes the extra mile for her clients, and puts so much love and care into each appointment. She is beyond superb. Even better she is so knowledgable at the science behind hair coloring, and she really believes in educating her clients on the process which I appreciate so much! Also, she is fully vaccinated and very good with her infection control practices. If you are looking for a hair stylist that will give you the hair you've been always wanting, don't hesitate to go to Daniela! She will exceed your expectations!! read more

Long but worth the read xo. My experience with Daniela was infused with love and care from the start. Wanting to go from dark brown to blonde, I walked into her shop from the street to inquire. Daniela eagerly gave me step by step details about the process involved. She even mixed up a small batch of product that we'd be using to place a test spot on my arm to ensure no allergies. We exchanged info and I made an appointment for the following Wednesday and was told to put 4-5 hours aside to do it right. Slightly embarrassing to report but in a rather impulsive, self destructive path, I went ahead that night and bleached my own damn hair using the best of what CVS can offer (insert: mortified face) A myriad of Canary yellow now encircled my face. The following morning Daniela texted me to follow up from our consultation the evening before. I was embarrassed to tell her what I had done, but.. I did it, so I told her and sent her photos. Despite me completely going against her advice and wasting her time, Daniela took the time to explain what needed to be done to correct the hair crisis I was in. I lived for nearly a week with my tail between my legs patiently waiting for my hair appointment which was now a "rescue" hair appointment. I want to share that historically I don't spend a lot of money on my hair. It's one of those things that I've never been able to do for myself. Yet this experience opened my eyes thanks to the incredible nurturing I received from Daniela. Her patience, expertise, meticulous care to each and every strand of wounded hair was nothing I have EVER experienced in a hair salon. She runs her own little shop, deeply caring for one client at a time as to maximize the personalized and detailed experience (and ensures safety during COVID). In four hours Daniela took me from wounded spirit to an UN-damaged platinum blonde with her very gentle step by step approach. PLUS she gave a free trim to better shape my hair that further transformed my look and told me to not cut it again until "next June" knowing that my goal is to grow out my hair. Daniela is a healer inside out and a nurturer. The genuine care that I received while knocked down was exactly what was needed in order to realize that I deserve to be taken care of in this way. No more shortcuts with yourself, Krystle. I left her shop LEVITATING from feeling so well loved, sincerely cared for, ambitiously blonde!, and with a new member of the family xo. I recommend that everyone experience this level of expertise and care. Plus you'll be supporting an invaluable Trans, BIPOC business owner, hair artist, and healer extraordinaire and her gentle pup, Lu xo GRACIAS Daniela, me dejó una memoria indelible! xo read more

When I met Daniela 3 months ago my hair was a mess! It was black and stripy from layers of boxed dye over the pandemic. My hair is also very fine, curly, and damaged so I wanted to stay away from bleach. She has literally transformed my hair. She worked out a plan to blend my color and lighten it (without bleach). She really cares about her craft and it shows in the way she tailors her work to specific clients. She has even opened the salon early in order to fit me in. She is truly a gem. She's a busy business owner, so don't arrive late! From black hair to smooth light natural hair in 3 months. Thank you Daniela! read more

I trust her and am now figuring out with her how to push my hair boundaries a little, which should be fun. I can't recommend her highly enough. And looking at the other reviews, which were my reason for calling her, it looks like I'm not alone! read more

Salon Bello - Great haircut! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I haven't gotten a professional haircut since covid because my usual stylists had moved and hadn't taken the time to find a new person. I needed someone who was available during the evenings and after reading countless amazing reviews, I decided on Daniele. I should have left after she told me to remove my cardigan and tank top and to only wear the smock, she literally said, " I don't want any drama, just take it off. Now. I'm a curvy girl, let me tell you the smock did not cover me completely and left me exposed. I told her, and she basically told me she doesn't get different sizes because it was easier for her. Upon sitting down, she asked me to show her pictures of what I wanted. My hair was long, past my mid back. We discussed how much length I wanted cut, I initially said 3-4 inches, but she noted it would be too short and I wouldn't be happy. We agreed that cutting no more than two inches would achieve the look I was going for. An hour later, after she had me look up, she had cut SIX INCHES OFF MY HAIR!!!! I expressed my frustration and how much I was upset. She turned around and said "Well you wanted that short to begin with." Are you kidding me?? I told her we BOTH agreed in the final decision of cutting two inches. She also gave me curtain bangs which I didn't ask for nor were they in tbe pictures I showed her. The curtain bangs didn't fall correctly, especially since I have a windows peak. For all of her experience and what she charges, I expected a better experience. I understand she needs to make money, but she overcharge more than MSRP for her products. Stay away if you want long layers and and if you want to be heard. read more

I've been going to Daniela for the past couple of years and my first review still rings true to this day. She has reliably provided great recommendations of products, treatments and fabulous color & cuts. I'm grateful for the expertise and passion that Daniela brings. It has also been a pleasure to visit my dog niece Lu at appointments: ( Initial Review) Daniela is amazing!! I loved how detail oriented she is and she incorporated my feedback during the entire process. She gave me professional suggestions for product and treatments. I went in ready for a change with my hair because it felt too heavy. I walked out feeling lighter with a nice, feminine look and loving how vibrant my previous hair color looked. I'm definitely going back for my future hair treatments, color and cuts. And a plus is how warm and friendly she is. She loves to travel and I do too so I'm looking forward to hearing about her travel, the next time I go in. read more
