    I've been a loyal customer of Rodney's for years now. He's always done me right with my cuts and colors. But I have always dreamed of having extensions done and having long, flowing hair to flip around. So when Rodney started offering the Hairdreams nano technology extensions my dream came true. Not only did he add 14 inches of gorgeous hair to my length, he perfectly matched my color and made me feel like a supermodel. The nano technology takes significantly less time to install (mine took a little over an hour) and the hair is yours to keep. When my extensions come out i get to send them back to get remounted and then have the same set put back in. Obviously this is a huge cost savings to me. I honestly could not be happier with them. If you've ever thought about getting extensions, go see Rodney right now. Don't wait! It's the best decision I ever made for my hair. He is truly amazing!

    I have never had a better hair cut in my life. When I came in I had banana yellow hair and an accidental mullet from a bad dye job at a previous salon. Since then, I have had the best hair of my life. My color has gone from blonde to pink, to lavender and now red. Rodney is the greatest stylist I have ever had, and most of my Yelp reviews are about hair, so that is saying a lot.

    Gloria is the absolute best hair and color cosmetologist! Really enjoy our conversations to boot! And, she offers to pick up food on her way to pick up her own while my roots are soaking. I have super long straight hair, and her precision and her attention to detail is always on point. Her recommendations and suggestions have always worked wonderfully. My hair has never looked or felt better!

    I LOVE Rodney's 'updated shag'! I have a lot of hair, but it's baby fine. This style provide volume and lay beautifully in SF winds!.

    I have always loved the cuts Rodney gives at StudioBBR, and this recent cut, and updated 'shag', is the BEST! I have a lot of hair, but it's baby-fine. Too few layers pull my face down, and too many layers leaves me with a shorter hair style than i like. THIS cut is the best of everything: a few minutes with a round brush and blow dryer and I look and feel fabulous! It has volume, lays well, and looks great in and out of San Francisco winds.

    Rodney is FANTASTIC! I searched through Yelp to find someone who can cut curly hair at a reasonable price and found so many rave reviews on him that I automatically knew he was my man, and I was right! He took the time to analyze my hair and talk to me about what I wanted, and then he went to work. My cut is Amazing!! I went from just past the shoulders to just under the chin. My hair can be tricky because it's wavy in the front, curly in the back, and it's really thick, but Rodney ROCKED IT! I honestly think he's worth more than $60 + tip, but his low prices make me like him more! I'd probably have to pay $130 in New York City for this curly cut. Also, his salon is super cute and easy to get to. Rodney - I can't wait to see you again! Thank you for the beautiful cut!

    Rodney's haircut

    Let me start by saying... RODNEY IS THE BEST OF THE BEST!!! I was referred to Rodney by my mother who's been his client for over 6 years. She has always been raving about his amazing work and extremely friendly personality. I have never gone to him before since I usually tend to get my haircut at lower end salons like Supercuts and end up having to go back since I'm never satisfied with the work. Finally my mom suggested I'd go and try him out. She called him and he was able to book me for a 3 pm appointment today with no hesitation. As soon as I walked in he already knew who I was as he was expecting me, greeting me by my name. He introduced himself and offered me something to drink (he even has espresso)! As soon as I sat on the chair he evaluated my hair and listened to what I had to say giving me his best recommendation based on the shape of my head and hair type. Soon after he started he moved me to the shampoo station where he gave me a great long head and neck massage, and washed my hair with shampoo and conditioner without any rush. He then proceeded to move me back to the first chair and cut my hair. Since the get go I could tell he has outstanding cutting and styling skills with precise shear work. He then applied some cool paste and hair products that smelled amazing and voilà... Hands down best haircut I have ever gotten!!! ... Keep in mind he had a lot of work to do on my hair since the disaster of a haircut I received last time from my previous hair dresser. Unfortunately I am moving to LA in just a week so I won't be able to go back anytime soon but definitely plan to next time I visit SF! I will also be sure to recommend him to all my friends here in SF. From his cozy little studio, the great ambiance, his very friendly approach and warm personality to his outstanding skills he is by far the best hair stylist in the Bay Area! Thank you Rodney!

The salon hair wash + scalp massage is one of the best parts about getting your hair cut. Off to a bad start. Then she started snipping away unevenly. Scissors were clearly not sharp - I could hear those dull blades tearing through my hair. The saxophones kept getting louder. Rough dried my hair with a towel, her hands, and a blow dryer - didn't pick up a round brush once. Flathead, no volume. I told her it was uneven in lengths and layers, in addition to being much shorter than I asked for, and she said "your cut was uneven when you came in so I can't make it even or fix that." What? That is LITERALLY your job as a hair stylist. Left with dry-ass, choppy layered, uneven, shorter than asked for hair that wasn't even styled. One star only because she comped the poorly executed haircut.

I have never walked out of this studio unhappy with how my hair looked, even if it deviated a bit from what I originally wanted. In the most recent time I went, I was absolutely blown away with how my hair turned out! So much that I think I will continue asking for this color for years to come, maybe until my hair can't handle it anymore lol I've been going to Romi for a few years for color and haircuts and I deeply appreciate how much attention to detail she has. In my case, she had noted down the colors that I've had before and uses that as a point of reference for my session. This is so helpful, especially since I don't remember what I asked for months prior. Since I liked my most recent color so much, I can walk into the studio with full confidence that I can ask for the exact same thing again because she has it noted down somewhere. Thank you Romi!!

I've never trusted anyone else since, she's basically my hairstylist and therapist hehe Her balayage is SOOOOO good. 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. What I appreciate most is how much she cares about doing things the right way. When I decided to go back to my natural color, she didn't rush it or take shortcuts. She slowly transitioned me over time and kept my hair healthy through every stage. I live in Los Angeles now and will literally fly home just to see her, that's how good she is! After 11 years, she's more than just my hairstylist, she's someone I trust completely. Highly recommend!
