Good price for a quick trim, $17. You have to know what you want, not a ton of English but enough to get by.

Great prices for a quick hair trim. They get you in and out quickly. Susan does a good job of making sure you keep your the hairstyle you want. read more

Very easy and comfortable place.friendly for kids haircut. Highly recommended.Nice locality. Perfect haircut assessibility

I stumbled across this shop over a decade ago when I moved into a nearby apartment. I've since moved, but I continue to make a trip here for affordable and mostly great haircuts. The place is small, so you shouldn't see more than 2-3 other customers inside. Since my first visit, prices have naturally gone up (currently $15 for a standard cut), but thankfully the cash-only salon has survived the past two years. Note: closed Wednesdays. read more

Susan's Salon - Closed Wednesdays. - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I came here out of desperation after I waited about 45 minutes for Norvegr to open up but they never did. The lady who cut my hair did a pretty good job. I got a lot of compliments. However, being anal that I am, I have to say I was pretty grossed out about the cleanliness or lack thereof of this place. They gave me a bib that had this weird brown stain on it. The towels were not clean and I hesitate to think whether they even bothered to clean the brushes in between customer use. All I can say was after a wash and haircut, my scalp was super itchy. I had to go home and wash it again. This place is only good for those who are not squeamish or can stomach messiness. read more

No star Do not go to this place That bitch did not listen I want her to use scissors to cut but she kept using shaver to cut make my back hair very thin, short and almost no hair at the bottom( I end up look like guy) Also shaver not clean make my no hair part itchy and pain which I hate I do not like her and shave haircut and this place at all terrible read more

I read on a craigslist forum about some guy who got a decent haircut for $7 at a hole-in-the-wall salon around the corner from Green Apple. This intrigued me because I'm growing out my hair and didn't need a haircut so much as a trim to get rid of the split ends, which my cheap ass wasn't going to pay $20+ for. On the other hand, I've been afraid to go to any salons on Clement because I don't want my hair thinned out and end up looking like a HK pop star. I stopped by after work one night. It is a tiny place with room for two stylist chairs, a couch for waiting, and all the Chinese language newspapers and magazines one could hope for. There was just one stylist (I assumed Susan) and she was working with a male client at the time, and she invited me to sit down and wait. When it was my turn, I instructed that I needed a trim and a little layering since my hair's so thick and, lo, she did exactly as instructed. She did chatter with a friend the whole time, but I didn't mind. I gave her $10 (which comes out to a 43% tip) and a hearty thanks. read more

I been there several times is cheap $16.00 a hair cut, but even though i showed a picture of how i wanted my hair cut. She never cut it as i wanted. so, after the 7th time trying . I decided to go else where, i don't know if it's because they don't speak English and lost in translation? Even though i tried to communicate. She would interrupt me by saying. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...and do the wrong cut and super short...am a female and the least thing i wanted. was shorter hair... read more

I tried a lot of places to get my hair cut and just didn't want to pay $100 for a basic "man cut" at the salons. This place is great and I've been going for 3 years. Either Sophie or Susan cut your hair. I normally prefer a traditional barber as they are most experienced with a man's hair. Susan's salon has become my exception to the barber rule. I don't have to make an appointment and have never waited more than about 10 minutes. It costs $8 for a basic hair cut and I usually tip another $2 which brings it to $10 all in. read more

been going here for the past 10 years. the lady hair cutters there always consistent when cutting my hair unlike the hair cutters in sf chinatown were they give you a fast and over cut haircut using #1 clippers in 5 minutes because of cheap prices. read more

I've been coming to Susan Salon since my upperclassmen years in high school for my haircuts. I go in and out in 10-15 minutes as I usually get really easy shaves/buzz cuts. Your cut is very customizable and reasonably priced at $8. Popularity has grown and sometimes there are one or two people ahead of me, especially during Chinese holiday season(s). Minus one star for the older lady that isn't as flexible in customization and override your demands with what she thinks looks good. read more

Susan's Salon - busy day - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

Ever since I was young (and probably until the day that I die), I've never saw the glamor of shelling out $25+ for a haircut. It should be noted that I'm always in for a quick buzz cut--not something among the lines of models. Finding a barber isn't something that one usually gives much thought into, but personally, I like to find a barber that can cut my hair same way, every time. After college, the barber I usually went to had retired (although that salon never told me that--they just said he went on a vacation and it wasn't until my mom bumped into him on the street and found out the truth). After shopping around, I found Susan's Salon. I'm not one to spend too much time in a salon, so the size of the place didn't bother me too much. Although I converse with them in Chinese, they do speak English. It's sad that I've been going here for many years, yet I still don't know their names, but the barbers here all have cut my hair. They know what I want and can execute the same look (more or less) every time. The actual hair cutting probably takes less than ten minutes for myself, but be prepared to wait if there are other patrons before you. Sadly, the price has gone up over the years, but I deem this acceptable because they are adjusting for the cost of living in San Francisco. Still, the price is cheap enough for me and I like their work. read more

My go to salon. I would say this is a hole in the wall place for haircuts in SF. They're usually busy, most of the time and try their best to accommodate everyone. Sometimes people would be mad due to the waiting time, but for the price and quality of their work, it's definitely worth it. I come here every time to get a haircut, dye and straighten. For haircuts, $15 bucks for a wash, dry and a trim. Not bad for girls. I usually tip them a few extra though. read more

If you are a non-metro straight male who likes to save a few bucks, this is the place for you. You just can't beat $7. I've been going to this place religiously since it opened and no major f--k ups so far~ read more

I usually go to a different place for a haircut but the lady was on vacation so I tried going to this place. The lady asked me how long I wanted it and she cut it to how long I wanted it... then later on during the hair cut she kept cutting shorter and shorter than it was before. I don't like her read more

It was Monday around noon and I was frantically looking for a place to cut my hair in the Richmond. The original place I was going to go to was closed (although they advertised that they were open) so I was basically just yelping through my phone and walking from store to store. I was looking for a place under $15 that was quick and good. Susan's Salon was both of those AND was only $8. Good service for a clean cut. Don't expect anything too fancy or stylish, but if you're looking for just a trim or a nice buzz, here's your place. read more

insipidphishie P nailed the description. This is exactly what I've been looking for in a haircut joint. Cheap, quick, and well done. I went in, said I wanted a trim, and walked out with a trim that I'm quite happy with. That happiness is only compounded by the fact that the grand total was $10. This is where all my man-grooming money will be going to from here on out. A quick note, prices have gone up a dollar from what insipidphishie P and Michelle S have stated in their respective reviews. $8 for a cut and I believe that the shampoo and cut was $13. read more

Definitely a hole in the wall place off of Clement. You can get a wash and cut for $12. No frills. Susan is the owner. And when you say trim, it's a trim. No need to worry about having her trimmed off too much. read more

Gigi is an excellent hair stylist. The best I have had!!!!. I have been seeing her since the last years. not only does she do a phenomenal job at cutting and great customer services, read more

Great haircut, no line, $10. She took her time not like the butcher jobs they give in Chinatown. Highly recommend!

A solid haircut at a reasonable price. I don't need anything fancy so a $10 cut is pretty great.

I usually go to China Town for my haircuts because it's super cheap, but I wanted a place that was in the Richmond district that was pretty cheap. I came across Susan's Salon when I was waiting at the 44 bus stop and saw that it said "$8 haircut". I thought it was cheap enough to try it out. I came here a few days after and my ideal hairstyle is a Japanese rockstar style, which means A LOT of layering and a lot of attention to detail with the bangs. The time I was there, Susan had just opened the place and had me sit down because I assume a client was there already. She was very nice and asked if I wanted a magazine or something so I wouldn't be bored. I don't speak Chinese so it's great that Susan knows a good amount of ENGLISH. As far as the atmosphere, it's a hole in the wall. I am a bit of a neat freak and was very uncomfortable that there was hair on the floor, rust on the chairs, and some brushes still had other people's hair. You can imagine I was hesitant to stay. I ended up getting my hair done by this lady who works at Susan's Salon. She didn't know as much English, but there wasn't a barrier (YAY!). I showed her a picture and asked if she could do it (based on reviews I heard this place was good for short hair so I wanted to make sure they could manage long/thick hair). She nodded and had me sit down. I was a little scared because her nod wasn't reassuring. But oh my, looks are deceiving! She did an amazing job! She would ask from time to time if the length is ok or if I wanted more cut, and she followed everything I said. The hardest part (the bangs) she did wonderfully. I told her specifically that this hair cut had to be a certain length for Halloween and my hair grows pretty fast, so she had my bangs a little shorter than the pic. She got every detail perfect. ALL DONE IN UNDER 20 MINUTES!!!! My haircut came out to be $8. I am very poor and left her with $10 (approx. 20% tip). Would I come here again? It's hard to say. If I can't head to CT for my usual hairstylist, then I'd definitely stop by Susan's. What I love the most about this place= no language barrier, cheap, and great with cutting bangs and short hair. (I say short hair because I noticed that my long hair was barely touched, but that could just be my OCD talking) read more

if you around the area this is a place to go for cheap hair cut. Good service speak english there very good on cutting hair.

Fantastic little salon for men's hair cut. I went in, around 530pm, right after work, and within 10 minutes I was getting my hair cut with a very dexterous hair-cutting Chinese lady (am so sorry that I forget her name as I write this) but we had a great conversation all throughout, I speak a little mandarin and was able to talk a little about where she was from in mainland China and before I knew it, the cutting was done and it was exactly what I was looking for. Disclaimer: I am a no-frills guy in my mid forties, so take that for what its worth, but it was a great clipper cut on the side with nice blending on top and then I even opted for the wash, which was an added bonus. I tipped $5 and still got out of there, having had a very nice experience, for $20! I almost hesitate to write this review because I want this as my own little secret, but what the heck, the owners of this place deserve some credit where credit is due. Great spot for a quick, affordable, no-frills hair cut.. and some good convo (break out your best mandarin). read more

I've going there since she opened. I usually go once a month for a haircut. I try to go on the weekdays as the weekend is usually busy. It's a small shop and nothing fancy. Service is fast and price is very reasonable. In and out about 15 minutes. No appointment needed. Susan cuts my hair the same way without me telling her. read more
