Ron, and before Ron, his father, Alfons have done wonders with my unruly hair since the late 70's. That about says it all. Mike Kelly

He did an excellent job in my hair , he is a true professional. Passionate about his job Strongly recommend him !!! read more

Ron, I just wanted to tell you what an incredible hair cut this is. I've gotten so many compliments on it, I haven't felt this good for a long time. Thank you!! read more

The salon is very tiny. I really don't mind though as long as the result is good. Kate did my color. I told her that I didn't want the brown color to be too light, so we agreed on a color that looks more natural. The result ended up to be too dark, because she mixed the mixture incorrectly. Although Kate offered me to redo it some other time, I just can't spend another 3 hours to get my hair done, and I was hoping that the color will show up eventually. The color barely showed up, even after 1 week. Oh wellz! :( read more

Kate did a fantastic job cutting my hair from mid-back to just above the shoulders at Sync. However, I feel since she's moved to Schnitt, she's lost her mojo. The second time I returned, I asked for the same cut, and she cut my hair as if she'd never seen the haircut before. The third time, I brought in not one but two pictures. While she looked at the pictures twice, she gave me a complete different haircut that wasn't anything close to what I asked for. It's a shame, because she's super sweet and the salon is really cute, but ultimately, I'll stick with my new hairstylist that listens to my wants and gives me the cut I ask for. read more

This intimate salon has tons of charm, as does its proprietor, Ron Skilandat. He took his extensive training in Germany, hence the name Schnitt (German for Cut). Ron is in fact a trained "friseur meister" who's been beautifying my locks for a decade now. He performs the most dramatic (or subtle) changes with aplomb. I have followed him from salon to salon and he consistently does excellent work. He is considerate and very professional. He does such precise, fine work I take it for granted sometimes and have to remember to tell him so. I often get compliments on my hair the day before I'm due for a visit. Located in the heart of the Financial district less than a block from the Transamerica pyramid, Schnitt Salon is just a hop from Chinatown and North Beach. Plan ahead if you have a car to park. Muni lines 1, 8, 10, 12, 30, 41 and 45 all get you quite close or walk seven blocks from Montgomery BART. Really though, just take a cab darling! read more

I made an appointment with Trish Pericone and have totally fell in love. She is amazing. First of all, I have a ton of hair. Fine hair but very dense, and Trish was great about making sure I had a perfect full highlight. The color is amazing. Looks natural, only better than the mousey brown that I got stuck with (thanks parents!). And the cut is awesome. I've had so many compliments. She gave me super cute bangs that work in spite for the giant cowlick that basically tries to ruin everything. The salon is teeny tiny but super cute. The location is great (I went on a Saturday and parked at the Hilton lot for $7 flat). Great experience. Great haircut. I will be back! read more

This review is for a haircut by Kate Brockie: I almost don't want to review this haircut, or give it five stars, because right now Kate's prices are wonderful and she has a flexible schedule, and I don't want the hoards of SF women looking for an affordable hairstylist to find out about her. Alas, this haircut just looks too good and she is too nice to be so deviant. I'm one of the customers that hairstylists must hate. I come in with poor insturctions, I'm picky about my hair, I have have few concrete ideas of what I want, BUT I want it to look damn good. However, Kate was able to give me a fantastic, stylish cut that has grown out wonderfully. She was sweet and funny during the haircut and I got compliments the second I walked out of the salon. So please, don't mess up my convenience by getting a haircut here that you will love and tell all your friends about. read more

I've been getting my hair done by Kate Brockie for the past 4+ years and can't speak highly enough of her talent. Not only is she quick, but my hair looks exactly how I want it to EVERY SINGLE TIME. She recently moved from Sync to Schnitt and I must say the new location is amazing. It's exactly what you want a big city salon to feel like: cozy and comfortable. The first time I walked in I think the first thing I said was "this is SO San Francisco" (in a good way...obviously). Trust me when I say Kate Brockie and Schnitt Salon are the only way to go for your styling needs in San Francisco! :) read more

My girlfriend used Trish Peritoneal for years and she suggested me to try. I went today and I really love her services. She did a fantastic job with very reasonable price. She was really patient and into details. I like the layers she cut. I also love her personality. I had to move down the scheudle for 30 minutes and she graciously accept it. I left my book in the store and she told me she would mail it to me. She just not like a lot of stylists I known. I couldn't wait to share how satisfied I was for her services. Both my friend and I have long hair. I did hair cut and deep conditioning. The store is not big and I like the boutique and cozy feeling. I will go again. read more

Schnitt Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

Ron is the simply the best. He is ... A total pro .... A rock star ... A hair genius ... A mast of his craft. I could go on but I'll stop. I don't want him to get a big head and raise his prices !!! (Kidding:) read more

Trish Pericone did an excellent job cutting and styling my hair.

I bought a Bloomspot for a cut and color and scheduled an appointment with Trish. She was fantastic. I liked her from the second I met her. She is very talented, friendly, and knew exactly how to tame my thick hair! I will be back to see her from now on-she rocks! Thanks, Trish! read more

Ron cut my hair and my wife's cut and colored for many years until we move near Sacrament after we retired. I have not experience any other stylists here that can hold a candle to his work. It is simply unmatched. He truly is a master. I will be in SFO the 14th. My first stop is to Schnitt to finally give new life to my "disaster." read more

While Ron Skilandat is in a new location with a new salon name--Schnitt Salon, he has been styling hair in the Financial District since 1990 and in Germany for many years before that. Originally, I had my hair done by Ron's father, Alfons. Then when Ron returned to the US from Germany to work with his father, I started going to him. Ron has a long-standing, highly loyal clientele. Since a job change, I have been "commuting" from the North Bay to stay with him. Ron always knows how to make my hair look great and handle well. As I have aged, he has been sensitive to the subtle changes needed to keep my hair healthy and young looking. He keeps up with the latest techniques and products in the business. I love his new salon. It is classy, intimate, comfortable, and so San Francisco. Ron himself is highly professional and a truly fine person. read more

Ron Skilandat - the owner of Schnitt Salon - has been cutting and coloring my hair for 5 years. What I appreciate most is how much Ron KNOWS about the chemistry of hair and the years he has spent learning (and still does). So, where I once used to highlight and lowlight my hair, with definite impact on its luster and health, Ron now uses the newest, lowest peroxide formulas and my hair is so healthy and has its natural highlights showing through. He is an expert at cutting and really listens to me, even when I don't know what I want. The cut is always excellent, meaning it looks good even the next time I wash it and do it myself. Ron's new salon - Schnitt - is cute and there are several parking options close by. I've traveled from the peninsula to come here for several years and unless I move to Oregon (maybe even then!), I will keep coming to Ron. read more

I enjoyed getting my haircut by Kate. She not only gave me the cut I was hoping for but also gave me very natural looking highlights on my brown hair. I'm very happy after getting my hair done here plus she's very fun to chat with. I'll definitely go back! read more

I've been coming to get my hair cut by Ron for a couple of years now. He always knows just what to do, does it well and does it fast - which I really love. He is great all around. Try him out at this new salon (which is super cute, by the way) and you will not be disappointed. read more

Kate did a great job on cutting my hair! I have been referring a few friends over just to give her a try. I am thinking about getting my hair colors by Kate very soon! I love her! read more

This was my first haircut since moving to the city six months ago, and I don't think I'll need to look any further for a long-term stylist. I bought a LivingSocial deal for a haircut and single-process color and booked an appointment with Trish. The salon is small but beautifully decorated with brightly painted walls and warm lights. The owner was cutting someone else's hair and he seemed like a skilled but unassuming character. Trish was similarly down-to-earth and knowledgeable. She let me explain what I wanted (not that I was particularly specific--"maybe cut off a few inches and some long layers") and then worked her magic to give me the perfect haircut I didn't know I wanted. The color job was also done well. While the color was processing, she brought me some hot tea and a magazine, which was a wonderful gesture and made me feel at ease. If you're looking for a welcoming experience and top-notch hair service, this is your spot. I'll definitely be back as soon as my hair starts getting a little shaggy again. read more

My husband got me a gift certificate for hair cut and partial highlight and I was absolutely amazed at the fabulous job Trish did! She truly is a color expert. I LOVE the my hair and will be going back. Hidden gem! read more

I just sat in the chair, told her I wanted blonde highlights and a trim. She did such a great job picking a blonde that matched my skin and she did not cut off all my hair (like so many do). She was also very friendly. Will be going back! read more

Kate Brockie is amazing. I'd been struggling to find someone that "got" my hair for the longest time until I found Kate 5 years ago. She listens to what I want, but also has great ideas of her own which means I always walk out looking a million times better than when I came in. Plus, she's super cute and funny so sitting in her chair is always a fun experience :) I highly recommend her!! read more

I've been going to Ron Skilandat for about 10 years. Ron is very precise, service oriented and professional, and has NEVER been late for an appointment. When I have had conflicts, he rearranges his schedule to accommodate me, including for the BART strike. When I first started coming to him, my hair was unhealthy, and he spent the first year getting it back to good health. The product lines he uses are carefully selected, and are excellent quality. Yet his prices are reasonable. I would happily recommend Ron to anyone looking for an excellent stylist and colorist. read more
