Miguel is great. I have curly hair which is difficult to cut, & Miguel did exactly what I wanted. He spent a lot of time on me and made me feel like a VIP customer. I love my hair! (more)

If you want a trendy style this is NOT the place to go! I came in expecting to get one thing and came out with something i didn't want - at a very steep price. First, we tried to bleach the color out of my hair - didn't lift. Not... (more)

Miguel is the best. I have difficult stiff blond hair and he is the only person in years that can make it look great without scissor marks. Also, even though the salon is in the Castro and I am a conservative finance guy, I... (more)

I am new to the area, and I found this salon walking down the street. They advertise a first time cut for $35, which caught my eye. I almost missed it, the salon is located above Wells Fargo, but I am glad I decided to... (more)

<b>In Short<br></b>This funky Castro salon's second-floor, apartment-like space is more bohemian than it is posh, with Hollywood-style lighted mirrors and glittered wall art.<b> </b>Pierced and tattooed... (more)

Go see Kat at this salon! She is great! She fixed my hair in a crisis that I was having! She was able to make what I thought was impossible to fix to a hair cut that I was completely comfortable with. She is the one to see!... (more)

To be honest, this place seems a little ho-hum to me. I wasn't blown away by the reception I received from the other employees, but Jessie was warm and had a smile. After a heck of a ride into the Castro, I was ready to just... (more)

I've been getting my hair cut and styled by Jessie for the last 4 or so years. It has taken me YEARS, numerous run-ins with various "top notch" stylists, and loads of a cash to find someone that could style and care for my... (more)
