Let me start off by saying, I'm soo particular with my hair and I do my research before I ever step in a salon with any inspo because I want to make sure the stylist I go to has experience and knows what they are doing. We began this journey in another salon with Emily nd I've followed her into her Salon, I mean can you even imagine the growth and hard work? You're own salon in the city?! Ok so let me begin this experience. I've been with Emily for 4 years now when I initially wanted to go copper. I researched for 2 months in search of someone that wasn't overpriced and had the skills. I learned quickly that I was looking for a colorist. And Emily was just that. I have hair that many people would called raven colored... naturally. I worried about the impact of bleach in my hair as I hadn't colored it in 10 years. Emily walked me through a very thorough consultation and at the end asked me how I felt and if I wanted to continue with the session. I accepted because I felt confident in her work and her reassurance and validation. After some hours and constant foil checks and just body checks overall (asking me if I wanted to stretch, needed a break, water, food and a drink) my hair was at a comfortable level where she felt she didn't fry it but it could be lifted safely. Many will lighten you fast slab some stuff on and send you on your way just for you to wash style and it's falling apart. This was not that kind of horror story. We applied the color and it looked beautiful. As I went with her I learned so much about coloring and detail. Emily was and is the best at it. Our sessions are not only satisfying in the hair aspect, but we've shared so many funny stories and memories that Siren Salon is a place I go to decompress and visit what feels like old friends. The vibe is great too, the other stylist make it feel like they've serviced you with how friendly they are. And let's not forget how talented Micah and Melinda are. I'm so grateful I've found a place to not only service my hair needs but to feed my soul with care and positivity. I tell people all the time about Emily and when they go somewhere else and I see their hair they say "I knowww I should've gone to your girl." I always reply "you need an amazing COLORIST someone who knows the science of hair" and that is exactly what Emily is. I've added pictures below... Thank you for coming to my ted talk! read more

See all

I'll start off by saying I'm very, very particular about my hair and if I get a bad haircut I'm the kind of narcissistic lunatic that will cry in the seat so when I'm happy, it's bc my stylist actually rules. Melinda has been my stylist for years and I followed her from a previous salon. She does nothing less than magic; she makes my naturally greying frizzy Robert Plant hair look sleek and sophisticated and helped me cultivate a hair style over years that is my dream haircut and color. She does amazing long layers and stunning color that is both sophisticated enough for my age and the workplace but satisfies my edgy retired punk rocker-ness tastefully. She's also just a lovely human being. The salon is really stylish and comfortable - the word 'hygge' comes to mind. read more

Emily is AMAZING!!! If you are looking for a colorist who specializes in lived in color, especially for brunettes, then she is your person. I haven't colored my hair in years and didn't have a colorist before her. She took my inspo photos and made my hair 10x better than what I was expecting. I'm so happy I found a colorist who will be my go-to forever. Also, she is super personable and made the appointment so fun and comfortable. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Melinda at Siren Salon. Melinda is my favorite colorist I have ever had and I've been coloring my hair for the last 10 years. Melinda is truly an artist. I came to her with a hair dream -- take my natural dark hair with a grown out balayage and make it a dimensional platinum blonde. She helped lay out a plan for me and after a few sessions of METICULOUS WORK got me to my DREAM HAIR! She is so thorough and a real perfectionist making sure that my hair was exactly what I wanted every session. She really goes above and beyond not just in the styling and coloring but also in making me feel heard and taken care of. Once I was done being blonde she helped me actualize on a new vision of blue hair. I came to her with some inspiration photos of what I DIDN'T want and she expertly selected a shade that matched the vibes I was going for and would have a gorgeous fade out. I thought the blue would just be a one time thing but I fell in love with it and I keep going back to get my roots touched up and blue re-upped! I always look forward to getting my hair done with Melinda. I feel so comfortable and happy in her chair knowing I am in good hands read more

I've been going to Micah for a while now, so of course when she moved to Siren, I had to follow! I have thick, wavy, unruly hair, and in the past I've struggled to find a stylist who knows what to do with it, but Micah gets me right every single time. She's also extremely warm and friendly, and easy to talk to about just about anything. Our conversations typically center around restaurants, Netflix guilty pleasures, and dogs. All the best things in life. Speaking of dogs, Siren has a resident pup named Ozzie who is super cute and sweet and might visit you and hang out near your chair if you're lucky. Rounding out the immaculate vibes of this salon are cool decor, playlists that are always on point, bubble water (my weakness), and occasionally also snacks! Getting my hair cut used to feel like a huge chore, but thanks to Micah and Siren, it's something I truly look forward to every month. read more

Emily and Siren Salon are amazing!! She is such a talented colorist and stylist! I've been seeing her for three years now and will continue to follow her wherever she goes :) It's amazing to see her at her own salon now! It's is such a cute, clean spot with a warm, inviting atmosphere and I'm excited to see how Emily continues putting her cute and thoughtful touches into the space. I just saw her today and per usual, she crushed it! She always gets my color (full balayage) and cut on point. Emily is extremely caring and thoughtful in her craft, taking her time to talk through your vision for your hair, checking in during each step of the process to make sure you're happy with color, cut, etc. I feel so lucky to have found Emily and always look forward to catching up with her while getting my hair done! I cannot recommend Emily and Siren Salon enough! read more

I cannot recommend Siren enough! read more

For over six years, I've entrusted my locks to the talented hands of Micah. Every appointment feels like a rejuvenating experience, not just for my hair but for my spirit. Micah has become a dear friend. Her attention to detail, mastery of the latest trends, and innate understanding of personal style is unparalleled. The ambiance of the salon itself exudes luxury and warmth (it's a new building, new decor and Emily the owner has outdone herself), making every visit feel like an escape from the daily grind (and grind I do). The consistent quality and personalized touch from Micah has made me a loyal client, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for hair transformation and soulful pampering. FYI, I started out with short, then long, then with highlights, then with full color, and am now back to short and looking for new styles. Micah never disappoints read more

Been getting my hair colored by Emily for the past year and I'm a fan! I love to change my color all the time and she's always onboard and does a great job.

I would sell my SOUL to Emily Skelskey. Emily has been doing my hair for the past two years and has always exceeded my expectations by a mile and a half. I was SO excited when she started Siren Salon. She has an incredible talent when it comes to blended, lived in color. It's actually sorcery. I could not recommend Siren, or Emily, enough! The entire team is so friendly and goes above and beyond to make your hair experience great. What I love most about Emily is that she prioritizes hair health. Previous colorists would fry my hair with strong developers to bring me from a deep brown to bright blonde, whereas Emily is patient and gentle and achieves even better, more natural results. People are shocked when they find out I'm not a natural blonde. Nothing will ever make me leave Siren Solan, unless Emily leaves herself! Even then, I'd consider moving just to have her do my hair (not even kidding). Truly the best hair in San Francisco. I always leave feeling like a million bucks and then some. There is quite literally no better feeling than leaving her chair. Thank you one hundred times over, Emily! read more
