I don't usually write reviews but this shop is the best. Esme has been doing my hair for years and she has never disappointed. She keeps up with the latest trends and will never let you get something that she knows would damage your hair. She has your best interest at heart. Salva is the barber and has cut my family's hair for years. He's great. I will always recommend them!

Esme does awesome work! Have been coming to Esme's for years and now fallowing her, to her new salon! Her salon is full of good vibes and great people! She is very professional and always down to do crazy colors!! Thank you, Esme!

This was my first time coming here and Esmeralda was amazing. My hair had been pretty damaged in the past and was never able to achieve the color that I wanted in other salons, but Esmeralda asked for a picture of what I was going for and was able to leave my hair exactly the way I wanted ! I don't regret coming here She was simply amazing. I recommend this place to all, men and women including kids everyone that works there are very professional and super nice.

I must say this was the best customer service I've had. I found Esme's beauty salon on Instagram and I sent out a message, in no time I got a response and was able to book. Once I got there the vibe was just so chill. I felt comfortable. I loved how she worried about my hair. She explained to me that what I was looking for would take time and more then once session in order to keep my hair healthy. I must say I loved my hair. I can't wait for my touch up.

I love the new sign. It's perfect!

Esme was great. She did exactly what I wanted and my hair turned out beautiful. The shop was clean and bright enough for photo ops.

I've been in SF for 8 years trying to find a hairstylist I actually trust, and I finally found…read moreHector. I went in not really knowing what I wanted, just vibing with some general ideas. Hector totally got it and did an amazing job. The thing that impressed me most is I wanted highlights without bleaching my hair, and he made it happen. Every other place said I had to bleach it. The salon is super clean, bright, and has a great vibe. Everyone there is really kind and helpful. Yeah, I had to wait for an appointment and send pics beforehand, but it was 100% worth it. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a great stylist!

I recently reached out to this salon but, from what I gathered, is down to one stylist now--Hector…read more It seems the space isn't a fully staffed salon anymore, and the page hasn't been updated to reflect that. I was asked to send photos of my hair and then told that Hector is booked out for months. It would have been better to be upfront about that from the start instead of feeling like I was being screened as a new client. A friend of mine has seen Hector for years and recommended him, which is why I wanted to try. I initially hoped to see another stylist at the salon, but soon learned that that team member is no longer there. If the salon updates its information and availability, it would help set expectations for future clients.

Compared to the other studios I've been to, they are the most consistent, honest, and detailed. I have never walked out of this studio unhappy with how my hair looked, even if it deviated a bit from what I originally wanted. In the most recent time I went, I was absolutely blown away with how my hair turned out! So much that I think I will continue asking for this color for years to come, maybe until my hair can't handle it anymore lol I've been going to Romi for a few years for color and haircuts and I deeply appreciate how much attention to detail she has. In my case, she had noted down the colors that I've had before and uses that as a point of reference for my session. This is so helpful, especially since I don't remember what I asked for months prior. Since I liked my most recent color so much, I can walk into the studio with full confidence that I can ask for the exact same thing again because she has it noted down somewhere. Thank you Romi!!

Then a good friend of mine who has been going to Arty for a while now recommended me to try them. So I went in today for the first time and had an amazing experience. Yumiko san was very professional, warm and kind. She took her time to cut, fix my hair problems and styled it nicely. Place is super clean and relaxing. Thank you so much, Yumiko san for your wonderful service. I'm definitely coming back.

A shoulder cut can quickly look crazy on me (mullet alert) but she was able to perfectly layer my hair with some face framing bangs to come out perfectly balanced. Also she's the easiest person to talk to, makes your appointment feel so relaxing and peaceful like you're catching up with a long time girlfriend - she is theeee best!!

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!
