    Decor and furniture choice is awesome!
    Rockne H.

    I've been a long time fan of another haircut joint in Cow Hollow for years (10 years!) and that's mainly due to Linda Gao who's been my hair stylist for that duration. So it was a huge surprise to hear that Linda has officially opened her own place on Union street called Union Cuts! I was incredibly excited to be one of the first visitors here :) Walking up to the place, I immediately notice its convenience in location. On the corner of Union and Laguna, this place sit as neighbors to Cow Hollow staples as Starbucks and The Bus Stop bar. I also enjoy this location more than my former hair place as parking is much more convenient. I've never had trouble finding a metered parking spot so that's a plus! Walking into the place, it's spacious and very clean! There's a comfortable seating area with couch and place to hang your coats up. Each hair station is big, clean and feels inviting. While this place is still ramping up, seems to have space for a large team of hair stylists! I think Linda did an exceptional job with decor and furniture, making this salon a competing business to other salons in the immediate area. When it comes to quality of hair, I think that's always relative to the person getting a cut, as we all have our own preferences. For me, there's a reason why I make the trek from Potrero Hill to Cow Hollow for a haircut. Linda is hands down the best stylist I've had. She's truly a master of her craft. And while I haven't met the rest of her stylists yet, I'm confident that Linda will attract other masters of the craft. Lastly, I also know that Linda has a HUGE following of folks over the years. Sitting in the waiting room, it's apparent that many of her long time followers have also switched hair locations as a result of Linda's work. For a cut, it'll run you $40 + tip. I think that's absolutely reasonable given the quality of work! If you're in the area and need a cut, I invite you come try Union Cuts, and see for yourself. I'll make a prediction that you will NOT be disappointed!

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!
