    A snap of the fresh cut & balayage!!
    Vivian N.

    Long overdue review - I've been coming to this salon for the past 3 years and am so thankful I found it! I've been seeing Angelica for hair coloring since I moved to SF 7 years ago. Boy am I happy I found her!!! Not only is she the sweetest to chat with and remembers all the little things you share with her, but is very collaborative in her approach - she listens to what you want and gives feedback when you ask but without being pushy of her opinion and we always land exactly where I envision! She's very attentive to detail and takes pride in using clean hair products and ensuring you are happy with the result before you leave. She knows my hair well at this point and I fully trust her with it. I will follow her anywhere she goes (and I already did, in fact - as she was at a different salon when we first met :)) I work with Lacey for my cuts and she is also so fantastic! I see her around every 6 months and am so happy every time. I really appreciate her knowledge on which styles work best for my face shape and also how I can best style or maintain my hair after the cut. We've played around quite a bit and it's gotten to the point where Lacey just knows what I like and I let her work her magic! And as for the salon space itself - very spacious with high ceilings, super super clean and I love how well lit the space is. I feel very relaxed when I'm here for my ~3 hr long appointments !

    After The Lane transformation from Angelica & Lindsey - magic!
    Tatiana F.

    I will never go to anyone else for my color or cut now that I've found Angelica & Lindsey. I initially found The Lane when looking for hair colorists in the Bay Area who had experience with brunettes, and stumbled across Angelica. I wanted a switch-up from being dirty blonde/red for three years and she made me the perfect dark shade that makes my eyes pop. It's been about a year now that I've been seeing her religiously every few weeks. Such a glow-up from before and after! I also discovered Lindsey when I started going to The Lane and I'll never go to anyone else for my hair cut as long as I live here! She knows exactly how to translate what you're looking for into the perfect cut - I don't trust a lot of people cutting my hair but I know I can always trust her. Not only are Angelica and Lindsey extremely talented, they are both so fun to talk to and SO sweet. My abs always hurt from laughing by the end of my appointments. Can't recommend them enough.

    Todd has been cutting my hair since pre-pandemic days at Tailored (R.I.P.), and I'm so happy he has found a new home at The Lane. I went in for my first cut at the salon a few weeks ago and loved how open the space was - lots of natural light and not so many chairs that on a busy day it would be impossible to hear your stylist. As for Todd - I can't recommend him enough. His cuts are impeccable. I've got a serious mop top - lots of fine waves and loose curls. He's worked my hair into a mullet/shag that feels wearable (instead of wearing me) and has made me forget that my straightener and blow dryer ever existed. I've embraced my natural texture and can wash and wear, and wear, and wear for a few days while still looking pulled together. All in all - the best cuts I've ever had. I'll never go anywhere else as long as Todd is happy to keep me as a client.

    The Lane is a beautifully designed salon. Tall mirrors. High ceilings. A beautiful checkout table. It was my first time here to see Angelica, but I couldn't stop taking in all the details. Even the bathroom was beautiful. From the moment you step in for your appointment, the space is ready for you to breathe and relax. Great location. Parking garage near by. As for my services, my colorist Angelica provided me with a wonderful experience from start to finish. I lightened my naturally dark brown hair to the light caramel color seen in the picture below. I put my full trust into her hands with my hair and she did not disappoint one bit. I followed her from her previous salon because I love her work and the energy she brings during my appointments. Also a plus, I'm constantly receiving compliments on my hair and it's the best feeling As for my cut, Allison gave me a blow-dry and trim. I was asked specifically what type of cut I wanted between blunt/just cut to lived-in. This stood out to me because I didn't want anything drastic. Super quick. Super easy. With trusting both of them with my hair, I received what I wanted and would highly recommend them to you. Thank you so much again for a great experience!!

    Pink balayage
    Mary Cybelle C.

    Went in for a pink balayage back in November. Angelica was really nice and I appreciate her taking her time to make sure the color and style I wanted for my hair was what I actually wanted. She was also very considerate of how sensitive my scalp is and always reassured me it's okay to let her know if my scalp is being too sensitive, which I didnt experience at all. Since it was just us two at the salon, the experience became more personable. I would definitely go see her again. Today, I went back for a tone & blow dry and this time in copper! While she was washing my hair she also gave a head & neck massage, which definitely relaxed me. I will defs come back again and again!

    Very long to short! stylist Lindsey Kanakis totally transformed my hair into an amazing new style! couldn't be more pleased!

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.

From there, we did an 10 hour transformation going blonde and honestly, that appointment bonded us for life. 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!
