The salon owner, Gary, did get in contact with me shortly after I posted my review to apologize and inquired more about my unsatisfactory visit to his salon. He did offer to have me come back in to fix the cut, but I mentioned I'd prefer to let my hair grow out and start over. I appreciated his concerns and efforts to look into what had gone wrong and what could be done to avoid another slip up in the future. Gary was kind enough to refund the cost of the hair cut. read more

when i get my hair cut, i find the whole scenario very relaxing. I think there is something in the act of getting my scalp touched that just makes me totally mellow and sleepy. As a result i get really quiet and just stil there comfortably...i think the people that cut my hair think i am mildy retarded! Anyhoo...a few years ago i moved to the polk street area..and happened across this place...Gary cut my hair i think three timesand did a pretty great job. I usually pay like $15 dollars at some place in the castro..so i havent always gone to Gary.... Now, cut to three years later..this last weekend I just happened to be walking by. There were a lot of people waiting, but i asked if there was any chance they could get me in...They were very accomidating and told me to come back in half an hour. After I came back..i got the most soothing shampoo and scalp massage ever...basically rendering me a blubbering idiot. Gary didnt cut my hair, but a lady did...in my blubbering idiot phase...i forgot to get her name...she did a pretty amazing job too! towards the end of my cut...gary walks up and says "Hey! I used to cut your hair!" I was totally impressed since it was over three years ago he cut my hair...and he only cut it 3-4 times! This place is great! I highly recommend it! read more

I have been going to see Gary for over 2 years now. He always is accommodating with my schedule and is able to work me in which is great. He knows exactly what I want and gets it done in a speedy manor without making me feel rushed. I am sure you can probably find a cheaper place out there but his prices are definitely reasonable and knowing that you are going to get a good, consistent hair cut is worth the little extra you will pay. read more

Awesome awesome place..I had recently moved to san francisco and was looking for a place to get a hair cut and here I was.. Gary did an awesome job with the cut and Amber did an even awesome job with styling my hair...will definetly go back for my next hair do read more

Gary send message of apology due to my experience. Offered refund! I didn't accept. As I mentioned I wasn't disappointed in cut. It was the overall experience at eclipse. I will update an extra star for recovery effort. read more

Eclipse Salon has been my go-to since I moved to San Francisco a year ago. 5-6 cuts later, I'm just as impressed as I was the first time around. Gary is an artist with scissors. He takes both his trade and his business seriously and won't leave a single customer dissappointed. Went in for a cut last week and wasn't 100% happy with my cut, so Gary fit me in during a busy day to make things just right - no charge, no hassle. Now that's service! Go see Gary if you want to be in good hands without breaking the bank. 5 Stars. read more

**THIS IS A LONG REVIEW BUT WORTH THE READ - TRUST ME!** I HIGHLY recommend Eclipse Salon! I just moved to the city from the East Coast and was concerned about finding a new salon. The thought of trying salon after salon seemed exhausting. I read the reviews on Yelp for Eclipse so I thought I would give it a try... took a risk and was rewarded! I spoke with Gary on the phone before noon and we discussed what cut I wanted and more importantly the color. I use to dye my hair red and have been growing it out for months, but my hair was looking so dull and lifeless and the colors were so off. I told Gary how I want to transition to blonde by summer and needed a healthy cut. He said he would text me and asked me to send him a few pictures of my hair right now, what color I wanted and the cut. Immediately after hanging up, there was his texts! I sent him the picture, and within minutes Gary called me back and together we discussed what would happen today! Gary explained in detail what was going to be done today with the color. I couldn't of been more exciting! He then told me that his employee John would be doing my hair today, not him. I became concerned for a moment until he told me that he was personally calling John to tell him exactly what we talked about. When I finally got into the chair today with John, I showed him the cut and color and together we discussed my hair and I could instantly tell he talked it over with Gary because he told me the same thing Gary had over the phone. Now the thing that usually makes or breaks salons for me is my cuts. I have wavy/curly hair and my hair ALWAYS ends up shorter than I wanted it to (and yes I've tried the whole tell them 2 inches longer than I actually want cut or whatever - never works). I told John this and told him where I actually want my hair cut to be, how I want my layers and my bangs. I could tell he COMPLETELY understood. He even made a joke about what my hair would look like wet versus dry and curly. I was SO relieved. The whole process took a while but was WELL worth it. John told me everything he was doing. I got blonde highlights throughout my hair. After shampooing, we than talked about either doing a glaze or a toner to bring down the highlights a bit, make it look more nature, and make it so the highlights blended better in the areas of my hair that are still red. I heard him over the phone with Gary (whom told me he was going to be in contact with John while I was there) and together they discussed what to do next. He did a glaze, washed my hair and then began the cut. IT WAS PERFECT! John cut my hair the right length, the right type of layers for my wavy/curly hair, and cut my bangs JUST HOW I LIKE - some stylist don't listen to me because I like my bangs to start under my eyes so it frames my face better because I have a long face. The cut was perfection. Then John and another worker (Amber?) began to blow-dry my hair. Two people blow-drying my hair at once! I felt like a movie star! And he didn't blow dry it straight, but a beautiful big-curled blow out. It was so beautiful! Overall, my experience was AMAZING, SPECTACULAR, and PERFECT! I am so unbelievably happy with my results! And on top of having a great experience, fabulous cut and color, Gary texted me again later to ask how my appointment was and asked me to send him pictures! Gary truly cares about his customers and John honestly cared about his client! John took his time, never acted rushed; he took his time and listened. Gary went above and beyond to get me the cut and color I wanted, and made me feel so comfortable and valued by texting before and after my appointment. I will DEFINITELY be back to Eclipse and so should you! And the pricing! I got done a cut, highlights, glaze, shampoo, conditioner, and blow-dry for only $150! FOR ALL OF THAT!? I love this place... I can't wait to come back again in a couple months to get rid of the rest of this red and get some more highlights! read more

Eclipse Salon - color - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

I I'm horrible about planning ahead and making appointments. I just realized this weekend that my hair is in bad shape. I don't know how I didn't notice before, but now, seeing how bad it is, there will be no waiting a week to see a stylist. Instead, I walked over to Eclipse shortly after opening, hoping to slip in without an appointment. I know. Sneaky sneaky. Andy was there and graciously offered to fit me in. 30 minutes later, my hair looks awesome! Andy really listened to my concerns, gave an honest appraisal about what my hair needed, and then gave me a great haircut. I can now safely go out in public again. Yay. read more

After a super "meh" coloring experience at a different salon and a couple of strong recommendations for Eclipse from my coworkers, I finally bit the bullet and made an appointment with Sohea. She did not disappoint! She took the time to get the exact color that I wanted and offered advice for maintaining the color. Everyone at the salon is super friendly and knowledgeable and I could not be happier with how my hair turned out. This place is literally the best :) read more

I need a Gary near me in Michigan! I flew out while at a conference to get my hair done by Gary and he is so amazing. He knew because I wasn't able to go out to see him often he consulted for me to have a color melt balayage so that when my natural hair grew out it would still look great. He also treated my hair and it looked and felt so much better even after dying my hair. He knows what he is doing and honestly he is the very first stylist where I walked away feeling like everything he had done was amazing. Most other places I was like its good and can live with it. But with Gary I walked away feeling like he had done a great job. Aaaaand he got it done all in one session. There are otber salons where it takes a couple of sessions to get as light as I did. Here is a pic of me more than 6 months later! Thanks Gary. I'm coming to see you soon. read more

Eclipse Salon - 6 months later and it still looks amazing - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I love, love, love, love my hair cut! Luckily Gary took me in as a new client and fixed my do. I even came back the next week for him to do some low-lights and they came out very o'natural. The Back Round of My Hair: My mother put Sun-In and cut my hair since I was 3. So, basically I had damaged hair from the gecko. After finally getting it professionally done a few times, by 22 years old I got hair extensions. I enjoyed them very much and I had little damage from them. I got them done from Heather at Carlton Hair International. (She doesn't work there anymore, so it is a useless place to go). And after that, a couple months went by and I decided to go to Gary! I recommend this salon as one of my favorites! read more

I love that place. Gary is just doing an amazing job for me and my husband. And what I like the most he remembers you after one visit and knows exactly what you had the last time(color and cut). Feel very welcomed all the time. Make an appointment before you go there, you have no wait time. read more

I really, really wanted to love this place...the entire staff is really nice and helpful yet my results were a little disappointing. They informed me of every step of the process until the end where I was ultimately disappointed with the color I got. I had heard amazing things from reading the reviews and was referred by my friend, who got platinum hair in one session from black hair. I originally texted the salon for a consultation because I wanted ice blonde/platinum hair. I already had blonde hair and just wanted to go lighter- since the majority of my hair was already pre-lightened, I had high hopes that I could achieve that result. They texted me saying that it was possible and I came in about a week later. I was there for around 6-7 hours and my hair ended up being a nice silver-blue but it was far from what I originally wanted. I tried to convince myself to like it after because I had already stayed past the time the salon had closed and was too scared to say that it wasn't what I was expected. Gary, who was the main person working on my hair, kept saying that it looked nice so I was convinced at first. Instead of being a nice ice blonde, my hair was dull and silver with a blue tint and uneven brassy and yellow spots. It's not as light or as vibrant as I wanted it to be. Its been around 2-3 weeks and the brassy spots are still pretty bad even through I've been using the recommended purple shampoo. Overall, customer service is great but I'm disappointed with what I got. read more

I love Gary. I used to live in SF, where he cut hair for my church friends, but I haven't found anyone comparable in Austin, TX... So now I go to SF once a year just to have Gary cut my hair. Now I'm planning a trip to see him before my wedding in 2 months... If I can't figure out how to go before the wedding we are stopping in during out honeymoon (which is not in the bay area). I love Gary's cuts so much that I am planning my honeymoon around getting one. read more

Cannot believe I have been going to see Gary at Eclipse Salon for almost 10 years now. I had to update my review to reiterate how awesome he and his staff are. He does a phenomenal job, is always flexible when it comes to scheduling and I love that he make suggestions to ensure you are completely satisfied with the finished product. He is a great listener, his team are all friendly and attentive and best of all, he has great prices. Last comment - highly recommended if you are a blond or color your hair blond as he is what I refer to as the "Blond Master!" read more

This IS the Go To for color and cuts. I've known Gary for well over a decade since I live a few blocks away from Eclipse and over the years I can't help but notice the women walking out with drop dead gorgeous hair. The last time I was there a cute, young Asian girl had absolutely amazing silver colored, fabulously textured and cut hair. I should have taken a picture. It was just that spectacular. Myself? Not a whole lot to work with but I'm quite happy with John's attentions to the matter. read more

After some thorough research, I finally decided on this Eclipse Salon. I was not disappointed. After brief correspondence about what I wanted, an appointment was scheduled quickly and promptly for 9/9 at 9 AM. I appreciated the appointment confirmation/reminder text that came a few days before as well. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, offered me water and took my coat, and Gary said he was very excited to work on my hair. I wanted to turn my starkly thick black hair into a fun fire ombre red. One of the styling assistants was very nice and patient while trying to blow dry my very wet hair. Six hours and 400 dollars later, I was so awed by how it turned out, I couldn't stop staring at it as it was getting styled for the after photo! Definitely would recommend to anyone wanting to colour their hair! read more

Eclipse Salon - The day after, in different angle/lighting - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

Love this salon! I came in with black/dark brown virgin asian hair, wanting to go platinum blonde. Deisy explained to me she needed to bleached it twice for 40 min and then tone it. Unfortunately my scalp was soooo sensitive and after the first 20 min of bleach they had to wash it out because I just couldn't take it. I was so bummed that I couldn't get the color I wanted that same day. But Deisy was so so great! She bleached my hair for the second round (this time not touching my roots) and then used a toner that wouldn't hurt my scalp. The color turned out sooooo great! It was still super light and so close to what I wanted, I was very surprised! Also, she did an amazing job with cutting my hair in the perfect bob haircut! Thanks Deisy and the Eclipse team! You guys rock! read more

I don't usually trust hairdressers to cut my hair any higher than my shoulders since my hair is fine and lacks volume. There's also the high potential of looking like a complete FOB. However, with Gary, I trust him to make the judgment call. I like his straightforward attitude. I can bring in a picture and he would tell me straight out if it'd work for me or not. I finally went for it and Gary gave me a beautiful A-Line bob that was no muss & no fuss! Not only does he cut amazing hair, he is quick to boot. I would say Gary may not be for EVERYONE since he does work fast. So for those who want more personal hair dressers, or want frou frou things (such as wine), this might not be the place. But if you want someone who knows what they're doing, is able to interpret what you want, and can do the cut & color all within an hour and a half, Gary is your man! Plus, he doesn't charge an arm and a leg. I just moved down south, but wouldn't think twice to get a new hairdresser down here. I'd gladly visit Gary when I'm back in the city. read more

I've had my past 3 cuts here - always with one of Gary's assistants - all were good, especially for the money, but they haven't grown out as well as other cuts I've gotten elsewhere. UPDATE: I've seen Gary the past couple times I got my haircut and they cuts have grown out better. His assistants are good, but Gary is better. read more

Gary is the MAN! I promised him that I would write a Yelp review as soon as humanly possible so that is what's happening right at this very moment. I've always, always, always had issues getting my hair cut short or my hair colored. Nobody's ever seemed to do it right, and I've walked out of many salons in tears of regret (I mean I'm a little overdramatic but it's a serious issue). Gary has been, hands down, the only hairstylist that's had me walking out the salon loving my cut and color. He's saved my hair from looking completely fried, offered suggestions that were better than what I walked in asking for, and actually had me loving my haircut/color. You can't take risks with an A-line bob, you just can't. I went twice to get my hair highlighted, and once to get it cut. Needless to say, I highly recommend Gary to anyone that wants fabulous hair. What's really great is that he's always busy working on like 4 people at once, but he knows exactly how to pace everything out and when to check back up. I'm a little difficult of a person to deal with when it comes to my hair because I'm terrified of my highlights looking streaky, but I just sat there and let him do his thang. You just know Gary knows what he's doing with the way he multitasks so successfully, so I was chillin. He let me know I could come back if I wanted the highlights to be heavier, said it was safer to start off lighter and then go heavy. I did just that, and was super glad he planned it out that way for me. Great customer service, huge aspect of your experience at any hair salon. Definitely, definitely recommend Gary if you're in the city looking for a great, affordable hair salon. He knows what's up read more

I've been coming here for years and Franny is the only person I trust with me hair...Ever!! She has seen me with so many different lengths and has always had an eye on how my hair should look. I've been getting really short cuts and whenever I want something different , leave it to franny to be able to make me look super fly. Coloring skills is amazing!! From red to purple to a platinum blonde to a metallic grey. So many different options and my hair never feels fried afterwards. Would recommend this place!!! I don't go anywhere else!!! Prices are decent too. I've paid more for worse services at other places in the past! GO TO ECLIPSE!!! read more

Unlike the book by Stephanie Meyer, I actually REALLY liked this Eclipse. I had actually tried to go here before, but they were so busy that they weren't taking walk-ins. So this time, I planned ahead and made a reservation! I had my hair cut by Gary and let me say, he is pretty awesome :) I showed him a picture of the haircut I wanted and he actually took the time to talk to me about my hair routine, what I was expecting, and how much work I was willing to put in to upkeep. Unlike other hairstylists who just say, "Of course I can do this!" *cut cut cut* Gary catered the haircut to MY lifestyle! It could just be because I've always gone to cheaper places, so I wasn't used to getting so much personal attention...whatever it was, I liked it! The place is kind of small, but very clean and has a nice home-y vibe. All the other customers that came in or were leaving seemed like regulars because they knew everyone by name! I could tell that Gary works hard to keep his customers happy, which is probably why he's been in business for 13 years! To be perfectly honest, I thought the haircut was expensive (spent $60), but in the end, I didn't mind too much because I absolutely LOVED it! I left happy and I will definitely be back again! Thanks Gary! :) read more

This review is long overdue but well deserved. I was searching for the best "ombre" artist in the city as I've not had much luck in the past. Yelp led me to Gary at Eclipse Salon, and I'm so thankful it did. I left the salon loving my new look but after a week, I felt the love fade to a "like" feeling. Because of this, I contacted Gary who was quick to respond and schedule me back in to look at it together. He gave me a deep conditioning to help with the dryness from the bleach and added a few low lights so my hair went from looking grown-out to well-blended. He was very understanding and quick to help to ensure that I had the hair I wanted. I would 100% recommend Gary to anyone looking for a color stylist in the city. read more

My husband & I were in need of haircuts, I called Eclipse and they had openings on Sunday morning. We went in and got our new year hair dos. My husband went in for a trim, Franny was lovely and gave him a great looking cut and showed him how to style it. John & I discussed taking my outgrown long pixie, into a shorter more funky one and I got my roots touched up. John matched my color perfectly and gave me an awesome pixie with bangs ala Ginnifer Goodwin. I LOVE IT. I think I might have found our go to. :) read more

I am never dissapointed in Gary's work! Yes, he's extremely busy and at times you have to wait but honestly he is the best! He is genuine and will tell you what haircut best suits your face frame. There isn't a time I got a haircut and didn't love it! I recently had my long hair cut with layers and trimmed in less than 20mins! That's unbelievable and honestly I don't like waiting long for haircuts so I'm happy with the short time haircut. I wish I can keep him a secret so that he wouldn't get too busy for me but I have to give credit where its due! read more

Their prices are about $25-$30 more than what is stated on their website for haircuts. They also take a long time to respond and try to schedule their appointments weeks in advance. It's not the right place to go if you want an affordable haircut within a week or two of finding the place. read more

Gary is the man. The first time I went there I was a little nervous - because his place seems uber quiet and he was dressed a little bit like an IT guy :) BUT, there was honestly no need to be nervous - he gave me a rockin haircut...that totally suited my fro hair. He's a little quiet - but he knows his stuff. I have seen women come in there asking Gary to "save" them from the coloring jobs other stylists have done on them. Even though he's a little shy/quiet, he is not afriad to tell you what he thinks about your hair. I brought him a pic of a cut I wanted once and he just looked at me, deadpan, and said "I don't think that's a good idea." LOVE that. The other thing, though I'm sure he doesn't want the world to know this - is he's super flexible. In fact, today I called him to see if he could do my hair this afternoon and he fit me in. He's great for that spur of the moment, I-need-to-get-my-freakin-hair-cut kind of day. Give em' a whirl. It's completely affordable too. read more

I've yet to be disappointed with my regular visits to Gary at Eclipse Salon. He never ceases to impress, and will always make time to ensure your hair looks absolutely perfect before you walk out of his salon. Great pricing and he's quicker than most salons to boot! I came in for my regular highlight appointment, however, I waited a lot longer than I normally do to get my highlights done due to traveling. I obviously needed way more touching up than normal, and Gary was happy to spend the extra time to put in more foils. A lot more foils. He even noticed one spot before blowdrying that he wanted to touch up with more color so he touched that up while he blow-dried the rest of my hair. As usual-- perfection! Thanks Gary for being such a consistent colorist/stylist. I can't praise this place enough! read more

Eclipse Salon - Go team! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

Oh Gary. You have gone and done it again. You have concocted perfect hair. The color, the cut, the blowout. Swoon. Thank you for giving me hair Gisele would envy. Thank you for charming my dog, who puttered around your salon while you created the masterpiece that is my hair. Thank you for humoring me with ridiculous compliments (no, I did not used to be a model... stop it... go on?) Six stars if I could only figure out how to get him to give me a blow out every other day, a la Kate Middleton. read more

Gary is amazing. After years of disappointment after trying stylists all over the city, I finally stepped into Eclipse Hair Salon one fateful morning, plopped down in the chair, and tried to explain the type of haircut that I had tried (unsuccessfully) to describe to stylists before. Gary listened carefully, and a few moments later interrupted and said "I know exactly what you mean, and I know what type of haircut will be good for you."I stepped out looking and feeling incredible! A few years later, I returned to Eclipse to get my hair cut again, and Gary still remembered me! Although I go to school in LA, I MUST return to SF every few months JUST to get my haircut by Gary. I will not let anyone else touch my hair! And, each time I get it cut, I simply let Gary do whatever he wants - because I trust him to make it look great, EVERY single time! His staff are also incredibly friendly, professional, and great conversationalists - all wonderful people at Eclipse. Gary is the type of stylist who is excellent at what he does because he cares about his clients. Eclipse is the salon that I will be returning to year after year, and hopefully Gary will be cutting my kids' hair someday! I whole heartedly recommend Gary! read more

Gary thank you! You did an excellent job. This salon is 5 buildings down from me. The salon is on the smaller side but its very nice. Gary cuts hair perfectly. He does an incredible job. I showed him a picture that I found on Yelp here and he cut my hair exactly and made it a little better. I'm going to make my boyfriend come here for his cuts because Gary caters to men and women. Make an appointment! read more

Guys, if you want a cool hairstyle but don't know exactly what you want, go to Gary. He knows what hair style will suit your face and your body best and he never asks questions like 'what number clipper attachment do you want?' He uses all scissors and what I really like is that he takes a lot of pride in his work. On top of all of that, he is a great individual. I have been visiting Gary and Eclipse Hair Design since 2003 and feel lucky that I can put one part of my life on autopilot. My hair gets long, I call Gary, I sit down and 20 minutes later I am walking out the door a new man. read more

Gary is a genius! My hair used to be long, dry and out of shape. He knows exactly how to fix my hair. He gave a medium length A-line bob and a fantastic color. I received so many compliments from my family, friends and co-workers. They said I look more polished and elegant. I have already recommended Eclipse salon to 5 people. I will definitely go back to Gary for hair cut. read more

Gary was a godsend today. He transformed an awful bleach job into a miracle. Gary took me right in the morning and reassured me he could make my hair look great after assessing the prior work.

I moved to the city about a year ago and that's how long it took me to find a good hair stylist. I came across Gary and eclipse salon through yelp and then Instagram. I cannot get over how amazing my hair turned out!!! Gary is an expert at what he does. I texted him yesterday asking when could he fit me in for an appointment and he was able to squeeze me in the very next day. I loved seeing how excited he was to work on my hair. He made my blonde dreams come true. I've had highlights for a long time but I was looking for a more modern look such as balayage. He took out all the brassy colors i had and made my blonde phenomonal!!!! This process was worth every penny!! I will definitely be coming back to have Gary work on my hair. Also his team is amazing!! I don't think I could have gotten out of the salon so soon if it wasn't for his amazing supporting staff team! read more

Eclipse Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I have been a client of Gary's for over 3 years. He is a master at his craft. He really knows color! He has really helped me with the challenges I've faced with my hair. I have so much grassy. My roots are pretty white. My hair has always been dark and he had helped me transition to a color that is beautiful and easy to maintain. His staff is attentive and communicated well with each other. This is a very well ran salon. Gary is also very good about getting you in without tons of notice! read more

This is the very first review that I have ever written on Yelp! I have been using Yelp for years, but always been to lazy to write my own review, but after going to see Gary yesterday, I couldn't resist. He did an AMAZING job with my color/cut. This is the first time in a year that I have colored my hair and all I wanted was for it to look a little sunkissed--natural, not too drastic, just a little lighter all around. I have never had color that looks so beautiful and natural. I barely had to tell Gary anything and he knew exactly what to do. I am very picky about my hair but he did it to PERFECTION! read more

Gary and his wonder team did an amazing rescue and restore job on my hair! I can't thank them enough, especially since they didn't just fix the problem, they made it look beautiful! Here's what happened. I moved to the UK for work in June and didn't find a local salon to do my 1-2x/month root touch-up that I had been getting from the marvelous Rebecca Garcia at Bella Salon in Bethesda, MD (another review on that wonderful lady later). My solution was "roots by Boots" (a local drugstore) and to say my hair looked funny is to say it mildly. My gorgeous auburn hue went flat dark at the roots in my attempt to match. Knowing that I was going to be in San Francisco for a day at the start of my vacation two weeks ago, I did a Yelp search and hoped the reviews on here were bona fide enough to save me from ridicule by my friends and family. Getting to the point - they not only booked me last minute but did a super job listening to my needs, making recommendations, etc and then rocking the whole process seamlessly to a blow out finish that made me nearly cry with relief. BEAUTIFUL highlights and a gorgeous auburn. GARY AND HIS TEAM ARE THE BEST!!! A note to some: the staff here are no-nonsense, super friendly and down to earth, but if you go thinking it's going to be a spa or an atmosphere of luxury, don't be surprised or disappointed to find it otherwise. This is a fun, gritty little place. I LOVED it. As for $$, I wound up paying about $170 for highlights and all over color on long, thick hair (they had to mix more color to add twice because I have so much hair). Absolutely what I would expect to pay and perhaps even a deal considering it was last minute AND San Francisco. Thanks again to Gary and his fun, friendly staff. You made me feel whole. :) read more

I came by to get my roots touch up a week before my friends wedding and Gary was very careful to make sure that my hair looked great for the wedding! I was so glad Gary told me that my hair was burnt from my hair dryer, I had no idea why my hair was kind of coarse at the top!(changing my hair dryer since I can't clean the filter on my old hair dryer) Daisy was there to double check on my hair and she did a wonderful job making sure the bleach was evenly applied on my roots and she has a wonderful technique in drying my hair faster, which also made me giggle from it. My hair looks great and even nicer than the first time since my first dye job was interfered by my previous dyeing using the manic panic hair dye. Gary is always there for his customers and will offer any advice you need via text if you're a busy person! read more
