    John KILLS IT every time. I love my hair!! My hair looks so much better and healthier after a cut and color at Color Block Salon. Thank you John!!

    I visited this salon often for my Lash Tech, Tracy. While waiting, I was curious to speak to John if he could work on my hair. He consulted me and I was scheduled promptly by Linh within the same week. He quoted me on my pricing and expected results to make sure I understood what exactly we would be able to achieve. I've been to many different hair stylists and I was always told that I would never be able to achieve my hair goals. John was able to get me from brown/black dyed hair to platinum blonde in 1.5 sessions. I was beyond delighted with my results and have not only referred several friends but have found my new salon. John is an amazing stylist and Linh and so very kind and considerate. John made sure that my hair would remain as healthy as possible and Linh always made sure I was comfortable during the long hours. I'm so glad to have come across Color Block and would highly recommend.

    My experience at Color Block Salon was exceptional, and I am immensely thankful to both John and Linh for their expertise and outstanding service. After a disappointing highlight experience elsewhere, I discovered Color Block Salon on Yelp. Desperate for a quick fix, I called them on a Thursday, requesting a Saturday appointment, and they accommodated my request. John did a color melt which blended out the highlights beautifully. They also applied a color mask which left my hair feeling healthy and looking shiny after multiple color treatments. I actually bought the hair mask afterward after their education on the importance of weekly use post color treatment. Really felt that John and Linh went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, educate me, and ultimately give me results I was happy with. They are also extremely sweet and great to talk to. Thank you John and Linh for saving my hair! I will absolutely be back.

    Color block gloss service

    After trying to schedule a consultation for some time (was told I could only contact on instagram, which I don't have and was contacted by his daughter over text who was very sweet and helpful) I just scheduled a gloss through their website, thinking it was low stakes and that I was open to whatever other service if it would be better. It was an okay experience, but felt rushed and turned out as pictured. I was also surprised that the blowout was just a very quick blowdry. I have included both before and after photos

    John and Linh are a pleasure to be around, and they are great at doing hair! My hair was bright purple and I wanted to go back to more of a natural color, and they did not disappoint. They were very open and honest about what my hair needed and explained the process. My hair turned out amazing and I'm impressed with their professionalism and amicability. Their shop is tucked away next to a little sweet and has a cozy atmosphere. I recommended coming to them for your hair needs!

    My FAV place to go for my hair. I have been here 3 times now and the owners, John & Linh, always do a fantastic job with my hair! Each time they were able to give me exactly what i wanted from the inspo pictures i shared and quality service. Finding a hair stylist who you can trust is hard, but they make it very easy!

    the best salon in SF owned by the most amazing people. John is so talented and will take amazing care of your hair. after moving away from San Francisco during the pandemic I still find myself coming back here (2000 miles away) for the best hair color.

    after!

    John always knows exactly what my hair needs to look refreshed, healthy, and trendy. I had extremely course, color-treated hair with overgrown highlights and split ends. I left with a fresh ash-blind highlights that look natural, yet multi-dimensional in the light. John's commitment to precision, detail, and utmost professionalism is un-matched. Further, John and Linh are extremely personable and hilarious to talk with. I refuse to go anywhere else in San Francisco for hair now!

    I had the best experience here and would highly recommend it to anyone. The salon is beautiful and I was warmly welcomed by Lynn w tea. I instantly felt comfortable and confident after chatting briefly with John about my hair repair needed. As a busy mom of 3 kids 5 and under, self care these days is almost impossible, but John immediately recognized what was needed to make my hair feel healthy and lovely again, with a perfect color, exactly what I asked for, and probably the best cut with more attention to detail both with shaping and styling than I've had in 15+ years. While processing Lynn also gave me a painless and fast brow and lip wax that looked great. I felt 5 years younger leaving the salon and can't wait to return. Give yourself the gift of self care and go to this salon!

    Most Beauteous Fuchsia hair!

    Victoria's is still a solid five stars for hair removal!…read more Since my first review over a decade ago, a few things have changed - the studio moved (just a few blocks east, with better parking in my opinion), I've moved (a few times!), I tried laser hair removal (meh), and Dao has upgraded her electrolysis machine (making her process even faster). Through all the changes, my rating and loyalty remains. I can even walk across the street from where I currently live to get waxed instead of driving across the Bay Bridge and halfway across the city to get to Victoria's, but I still prefer Dao! Dao's efficiency, excellent work, affordable prices, and sweet, chatty demeanor keep me coming back. Although my first Brazilian electrolysis session was over 7 years ago, I have only booked/been able to tolerate 30 minute sessions, 1-3x per year. Certain areas of the body have more stubborn hair that requires more sessions, and Dao is very upfront about all of this. A few weeks after each session I notice less and less hair regrowing; there are certain areas where hair has never come back, and the areas that she continues to work on gets smaller and smaller. I look forward to my next session with Dao and I'm thinking I will ask her health/beauty tips, because she doesn't look a day older than the first day I met her!

I've always been super scared about getting a Brazilian despite my relatively high pain tolerance. I decided to bite the bullet by booking with Erin after a long day at work. In all honesty, she made the experience so much easier and relaxing even despite the pain and discomfort that comes from these waxes specifically. Upon walking in, she instantly greeted me and was super welcoming. I used the bathroom before my wax to calm my nerves and walked into such a pretty and pink glittery bathroom! Not gonna lie, it was a pretty good distraction lol. Like any person would, I was pretty nervous but I decided to go for it because of the results. It was so worth it. It does hurt, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Your first wax always hurts the most because obviously you don't know what to expect, but it does get better after the first strip. I have to say though, what really helped ease my nerves was how chill the whole environment was. The staff makes every client feel welcome, and in my case Erin was super friendly, thorough, and overall such a vibe. It made the entire experience feel a lot less intimidating. They also have complimentary snacks and drinks and initially I passed on them because of how nervous I was, but after my session, best believe I ran to the snack station. As an SF native, I am proud to say that I will be returning to reWAXation as a regular! I am so glad I found this gem. Thank you to Erin and the team for making this experience so much less daunting and a bit more fun!
