I am so happy to have found this place! I have long hair that grows fast, but I always put it off in the past because it stressed me out I hated having to pay so much for just a trim. Now I actually look forward to haircuts! Thong does a great job every time, and the prices are so nice for being up in the Marina. Highly recommend. read more

Have to love Tong. He's in a tiny space but he's got a fantastic personality. Highly recommend him. Go see Tong! read more

Longtime customer -- talking decades at this point. I put my money where my head is. Tong is the best. A pro. And super friendly.

Walked in for a haircut while running errands in the neighborhood. During covid, I appreciated the open door and efficiency. The cut was solid, the stylist was awesome to talk to, the price was great, and I was in and out quickly. Can't ask for more! read more

Great for kids! I'm over paying $40+ for fancy kid salons in SF. My daughter is not even four and only has had hair for about a third of her life - why pay $48 (with tip) to cut baby fine hair without even a wash?! We recently moved to the Marina and I walked past this place a few times and liked how welcoming it looked. Lots of Christmas cards from repeat customers and two friendly owners that have been there for 27 years! After a quick check on Yelp (awesome reviews!) we came for a walk-in appointment. My daughter was very comfortable on their booster seat and loved all the silly conversion from the stylist. They were gentle and happy to provide a simple bob. $20 is the perfect amount in my mind so we'll be making this place a regular spot! read more

See all

As the price of men's haircuts varies widely I was curious as to what one would get for $14. First let me tell you what you WON'T get. You won't get a shampoo (let alone a second one after the cut), a head or neck massage or any sort of pampering. You WILL however leave the place covered in hair which will likely make you itchy. But maybe such things don't matter to you. Maybe all you really want to know about is the cut. The cut was decent. Maybe even slightly better than decent. On the cutting edge of style? No. Good enough to land you an invitation to dinner with a cute girl? Highly likely. read more

I have a 1 year old boy who has a ton of hair and desperately needed a haircut (I loved the man bun look but he recently learned how to pull out the hair tie). We went here for his first haircut. Thank god we did. Thong is soooooo nice, and my kid was SCREAMING and he still gave him an amazing haircut, let us hold my kid while he was moving everywhere. At one point he even just let my kid walk around and just snipped off what was necessary. Multiple people have told me it's the best haircut they've seen on a kid- it's stylish, and sooooo cute. My husband also got an excellent haircut while we were here. It's not the type of place you will get pampered and have that salon like feel, but it's great and it gets the job done, for such a good price. read more

Excellent service with a haircut that deliverers everything you want. Family owned business that gives that personal touch and good prices. I'll be coming back read more

Tong must be the hardest working hairdresser in the city...you can find him here 7 days a week, charging $14 for a basic cut. Stop by if you need a quick trim-he's no Jonathan but you can't beat the price. read more

Just got my hair cut there today on my lunch break. Great cut, easily as good or better than any I've had. Fast, no nonsense and Thong is as nice a guy to talk to as anyone, and I don't really go in for a lot of chat when I get a haircut. He listened to what I asked for and delivered. For $16 bucks. Can't find a deal like that anywhere near where I live, I'm just lucky to work in the Presidio I guess. Love these guys. read more

lol! I've been coming here for years before the internet and before there was ever such a thing as YELP. Tom does a great job cutting my hair and I've always gotten a caesar cut! Maybe I should change my style? He used to work at Nordstroms as a hair stylist, I think. But if you want to buy other stuff such as conditioners, gels and shampoos, this is the place to go. PURE BEAUTY a few blocks down sells the same products for triple the price! It's a nice place on CHESTNUT STREET to get your haircut and to do other errands such as having cup of JAVA CHiP from Starbucks. read more

I adore Cut n' Curl and still travel over an hour to have my hair cut and highlighted here! My hair comes past my shoulders and to have a full highlight and cut costs only $65. You would pay that for just a cut anywhere else and the quality is great! I've had my share of highlights throughout the years and am happy every time with the results at Cut n' Curl. read more

Loved the haircut, salon location and Thong! The price is amazing given a lot of people pay four times the amount. And what a friendly, skilled hairdresser! I've never been one to go to the same stylist more than once but I think that's going to change with Thong. If you can give up blaring music, pretentiousness and outrageous prices in exchange for value and a good-looking cut, try this salon. read more

Wonderful kids haircuts!! Throng is such a nice man to my boys and always helps me out. Thanks!

The salon is great when it comes to pricing very nice people, and the cut is great if you just need a trim. When it comes to styling you might need to think twice. I came to get a cut a simple medium length bob with full bangs. However, it didn't came close to how I wanted it. I even showed the picture multiple times and the lady kept cutting it side bangs. I was really unhappy and not satisfied with the service. Luckily, the guy helped me out to fix it a little bit, but still, it didn't came out the way I wanted it. Now I have to live for a month or two with chopped bangs read more

Thong is the best. He is friendly, always has a smile and always does an amazing job. I've been coming here for almost three years and all my friends think I am a natural blond.... little do they know I sneak over every 4 months for a refresh. I have sent everyone I know his way and no one is disappointed :) read more

Awesome, affordable hair cuts for the whole family! I got a cut and highlights today with Thong and he did an awesome on! It looked just as good as the fancy salon in laurel heights I normally go to, at 25% of the cost. I am impressed. Plus, he is so nice. He also gave my toddler her first haircut, and they were great with her. We will be back! read more

Thong is still the best. He is so friendly and really delivers. To be honest, I'd choose him over any "fancy" salon. I've been coming here for almost a year now and I love it. He does a great job cutting my bangs and giving me layers. Wonderful service, reasonable price and my hair looks perfect! read more

Guys, you need to get your haircut here. I don't write yelp reviews, but I've been so happy with my experiences here that I felt this place was just too good to go unnoticed. After a year of expensive and mediocre haircuts in the city, a friend of mine recommended this place. I don't usually frequent the Marina, but I made the venture over and was so happy I did. I have been going here for over 4 years now. The price is cheap ($16) and both Thong and Hue treat your hair like they are creating a brilliant piece of art. Cut N' Curl is easy to get to and is a breath of fresh air on Chestnut street. Please do yourself a favor and support this place. You will be happy you did. read more

Been going to Tong for over a decade and he has never let me down. Nice guy, fair price and solid availability. Many of my buddies go to Tong also. read more

Since receiving regular trims from Thong, my hair is the healthiest it's ever been. I typically go every six-to-eight weeks and will arrive once I have freshly washed, blow dry and straightened my hair myself. He'll give me a quick trim and I am all set! He's also a really nice guy and always remembers my fiancé and our recent life updates. I am happy with the service provided. read more

Cut 'n Curl is the best kept secret in SF--I can't believe this place has so few reviews. Thong is the nicest and did a fantastic job with my blonde highlights and trim. I have paid literally more than 3x the amount I paid here and been less happy with the results. If you want a fancy salon and lemon water, this is not it. If you want amazing highlights at the best deal around, you've come to the right place. read more

I went here for the first time today and I was impressed! The owner has been here for 20 years and he did a very thurough job in cutting my hair. I am happy with my overall experience. read more

Great little place!! Thong is super friendly and gives a fantastic cut at an amazing price. With a substantial tip it's still cheaper than most places in the city. Highly recommended. read more

Thong cut my daughter's and wife's hair and they couldn't be happier. For $20 per haircut it's the best bargain in the city for the quality, location and customer service--especially in the Marina. Can't comment on styling or color but for cuts CnC is awesome. Far better than paying twice or 3x at one of the "trendy" salons in the area. read more

I've now been going to Thong for 15 years. He's still the same cheery guy who always greets me with a smile. He also does a great haircut. I'm grateful for his friendship and wonderful service. read more

i loved my haircut and the couple that runs this place is just too adorable! can't wait to come back :)

Amazing place. It's like a window back in time to a San Francisco from the 80s, when immigrants could come to the city, settle down, and open a small business that would bring charm and service to the neighborhood. The hair cut is phenomenal, the price is great, and the staff beyond words. Such a gem. read more

Friendly, knowledgeable, and listens to what you would like. Just a great experience in a perfect part of town. The price it right too.

A great neighborhood gem with great service every time! Please give them business, and you'll receive service with a smile

Tom is the best coloring in town and also the best hair stylist!!! He's also a perfectionist, talented and very professional. I'll always trust my long, strait brunette hair to his magical hands!!! I recommend! My husband also cut with him or with his partner! read more

Thong is the best thing that's ever happened to affordable hair care. I've been going to Cut 'n Curl for ... about 15 years! Thong colors my hair for about 1/4 the cost of other salons, and he cuts my husband's and son's hair. You do NOT need an overpriced, cutesy kids hair salon when you have Thong - the Edward Scissorhands of a very quick and cute kids haircut. Hu, who also works there, also gives great cuts and color. read more

Thong did an amazing job. Highlight and lowlights and a trim. I have paid three and four times as much and not been as happy. No tea or wine served, the place is bare bones, but what a great job. I highly recommend him. read more

Just went here as a last minute option....Very surprised and pleased with the lady that cut my hair. She was attentive, careful, and candidly...very GOOD. I have curly hair, so my hair isn't the easiest to deal with. 18 bucks was a bargain!!! I pay alot more at Esalon. Now, honestly...I love Esalon. You feel great after going there! That said, Cut 'n Curl was awesome in a pinch. read more

Thong is an awesome guy. A great, no nonsense cut, good conversation and a friendly smile. Best haircut on Chestnut at any price, really. And a bonus that he also takes credit cards unlike many of the other affordable haircut spots. read more

Great to have local barber thats been around that long that can offer that cheap of a haircut. In and out in no time.

definitely worth it; they pay attention to detail and totally fixed my last stylist's blunder :)

Great place. I've been going here for ten years: reasonable, friendly, great haircuts. Highly recommended.

Took a chance and went to this salon for the first time. I wanted to add layers and volume to my hair and he did a great job! If you're looking for a great fresh cut, this is the place to go but they don't pamper you with hair washing and blow drying. Which I find great because I know this haircut is low maintenance. Best haircut I had in sf and is unbelievably affordable. read more
