By Carla - thanks!
Julie K.

Absolutely LOVE my hair! I was in dire need of a makeover as it's been a long while since I last saw life in my locks. The salon was able to squeeze me in for a next day appointment...right in time for my vacay - yay! Carla is incredibly friendly and a pro at what she does. She was honest about what was achievable and steered me clear of further damage by going for colors that don't work well for my current situation. Fast forward a couple hours and I couldn't be happier w/ the results. I received so many compliments everywhere from strangers that made the time and money spent well worth it. Thanks so much!

I am so so happy I came here for a haircut !! I had an uneven haircut and it needed work. Long story short, Kengi saved my hair !! She was a good listener, meticulous, and did not rush . She took her time and made sure my hair was better than before. She did exactly what I wanted ! Haircut is $85 and is worth it when you have someone like Kengi. She is the best ! I'll be coming back next time.

My hair before the perm - completely virgin, never colored or processed at all. Very stick straight.

Ellie took AMAZING care of me and my hair for my first ever perm. I am turning 30 this year, and wanted to do something different - especially since I work from home ever since COVID, and felt I needed a boost to feel more put together. My hair was thick, virgin (never processed or colored), and stick straight. I wanted some more wave and volume to my hair. Ellie understood, and helped walk me through what to expect with my first perm which helped, as I was pretty nervous that I would ruin my hair forever. The process took about 3 hours, and was a breeze. My hair feels just as soft as before, but with so much more body and shape - I am obsessed with it. See pictures attached - before, immediately after the perm, and after my first hair wash and style at home. I will definitely be back, and think I have finally found my "home" salon in SF!

Love to come back here everytime, It was my third visit last week and I love everyone here special mention to Yuni who's always friendly but "BLAIR" looks after my haircare. She has the most amazing magic hands I call them I am not even kidding. She makes me feel so relax and cared for. treats me like a Princess, It was so hard for me to find a new Salon & stylist for a while eversince moving to the area. I am so lucky to have found them.

Purple balayage by Kengi. So happy with the result!

I am so happy with my first creative color results from Kengi at Bubble Pop! Went in for a consultation for purple hair, and she really spent time making sure I understood the pros, cons, upkeep and maintenance of what I wanted. I had pics, but she also brought up more pics on the computer and helped me decide what would look best with my natural brown hair. We eventually settled on purple balayage. For the day of the appt, we went over the pics again together, making sure we both knew exactly what I wanted. Once she got started, she was so meticulous and thorough, didn't rush, and was fun to talk with so the time seemed to fly by. When it came time to add the color, she made a few mixes and had me choose which one I liked the best, which I really appreciated. The results were even better than I imagined. We had settled on "WOW factor, but still classy" and that's exactly what Kengi gave me. She styled it beautifully, took pics, and when I got home, my husband loved it as well. As I looked at it more at home, I found so much more beautiful dimension to the color that I hadn't noticed at the salon. It's been about 3 weeks now, and it's only slightly fading at the ends to a beautiful rose gold color. I highly recommend Kengi to anyone wanting creative color!

Nails by Mai. She always does an amazing job shaping my acrylic nails and painting them. I've been coming to here for years now and I always love my nails!!!

By Mai! She's the best. Knows how to perfectly shape your acrylic nail to complement your real nail and finger size. So happy she's back!

One of these is fake...the rest are real. Can you spot the falsie?

I've been coming here for the last year to get mani/pedis with Mai, and she is PHENOMENAL. Her gel selection is stunning...she is thorough and fast and detail-oriented...she has gel foils and holographic powders and all sorts of fantastic options. Additionally, she has a little dremel kit that she uses to zip through filing and buffing and whatnot...honestly she is the most advanced nail specialist I've found in the city, and she's so sweet and kind to boot, and her prices are incredibly reasonable. I always leave so happy and feeling pampered!! She's like part mom, part mad scientist, part master artist...and she remembers you and treats you like a friend. Definitely worth coming back to, time and time again.

This review is for Mai, the nail artist! I had been on the hunt for a new sf nail salon where they do hard gel manicures and was so happy to find the service here. Hard gel nails last longer than shellac "soft gel" only and my nails are finally long enough for the coveted almond shape. Mai is fast, clean, and the pricing is modest compared to other nail-only salons. I make up for it in the tip for this hard working woman!

Jen M.

I'm still speechless with the result of Shelly's work to my hair. She made an amazing job!!! I am so impressed with her passion to her work of art. I am not goin nowhere for my hair color coz I finally found whom I want Thank u again Shelly!, Can't wait to see u soon I highly recommend Shelly! Respect!!!

After Kengi - wow, amazing job!
Kayla L.

I love this place! From the receptionist, owner, music and their casual atmosphere. Of course the most important reason why I love Bubble Pop is cuz of Kengi! I tried to go blond a couple years ago and I turned orange! Kengi fixed me up in a couple hours and now does my color and cut every 6 months. She is cool, easy to talk with and open to feedback. I recommend her highly!

After the first treatment- this is EXACTLY WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE WHEN I CAME IN!
Carrie M.

Update: The salon owner, Yuni, called me and apologized. She said that she understood my frustration and she agreed that, while my hair looked good when it was done, it had not been what I wanted. She offered me options to resolve the issue including credit for my next service or a refund. The owner was incredibly kind and I truly appreciated her taking the time to give me a call. The 4 star review is for the great customer service. I can tell the owner cares about her patrons and wants them to leave her salon looking and feeling their best. I went to the salon today with virgin blonde hair seeking "icy blonde". The first picture is the inspiration picture I showed the stylist, Kengi. The second picture is what my hair looked like when she was done. I don't have a before picture, but basically, it's exactly what the after picture looks like. Though I'd normally just call it a loss and pretend I was happy, I couldn't. I'd spent $320 for less change than I would see squeezing a lemon in my hair and going to the beach. When I showed her the inspiration picture again she said, "well, she has a shadowed root, and that would look unnatural on you." Perhaps she could have said that to me before she started and we could have discussed other options. I'm sure people come in all the time with unrealistic expectations, but I am a blonde. If a natural look was what I wanted, I would have stayed at home. The stylist offered to try again, so I came back during her next opening. The third picture is what it looked like after the second treatment. It's, again, not what I asked for. She asked if I wanted her to do another round of highlights, but honestly, I was worried my hair would be damaged after 3 treatments in a day. Not to mention by that time I'd lost all hope in getting what I wanted. I feel badly writing this review because the stylist was very kind. I could tell she wanted me to be happy, and she offered to fix it, but I feel like she was not listening to me at all. I am basing this rating off of what I received for the price I paid.

She is incredibly meticulous and detailed with her haircuts, wonderfully gentle and careful with washing, and amazing with hair color. You can tell she takes so much pride in her work and pays attention to every little detail. My hair is very difficult to cut because of years of processing, but she worked her magic. This is hands down the best haircut I've had in years! If you're looking for someone who is skilled, thoughtful, and truly cares about the quality of her work, I highly recommend Kiyoko.

She told me she could do it, but unfortunately, it became clear during the haircut that she did not know how to achieve the style. She cut my hair short and then tried to use a hairdryer and comb to make it look like the pictures, but it did not work. I showed her the reference photos again and asked if she could get help from someone else. She asked a colleague, who showed her how to cut the style, but she still seemed unsure how to do it. Eventually, the owner had to step in and finish the haircut for me. For a long-hair haircut that cost about $100 total ($85 for the haircut plus a $15 tip), I was very disappointed with the experience. At this price point, I expected the stylist to be able to achieve the hairstyle she had confirmed she could do, or to be upfront from the beginning if it was outside her expertise. Unfortunately, based on my experience, it was not worth the price or time.

I've been going to Nielle for over a decade and from the jump she really listened to what I wanted…read more I originally came to her after a botched balayage I got in the Philippines, and she completely fixed it. 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!
