Zeon has been cutting and sometimes coloring my hair for almost 15 years! He is the best in San Francisco. A master of his craft. Knowledgeable on all types of hair Zeon will help you look your best! The other stylist Ryan is super sweet, I have seen him work his magic on others. It's also an Aveda salon, so no nasty or harsh chemicals here. Oh and they also the cutest selection of plants for sale. Zeon is a native of SF, so go support locals! read more

I tend to get nervous before haircuts because I haven't found a hair salon in San Francisco that I was super satisfied with, but my experience with Geomantic Salon definitely changed that! As someone with long hair who is very picky about my hair length, I am very happy with the haircut I received at Geomantic Salon. I booked a dry cut appointment because I just needed to trim my hair that had grown out during the pandemic. My hairstylist was Zeon, who was very detailed with his work and made sure that he was giving me the hairstyle I wanted. I also appreciated that he recommended shampoos and conditioners to maintain moisture in my hair, as we did notice it was on the dryer side. Overall, I had a wonderful experience with Geomantic Salon. The staff were very welcoming, and I look forward to going back for my future haircuts and color appointments! read more

Zeon has been styling my hair for more than 10 years, and I always leave the salon looking fantastic! He's diligent about understanding what you want, and explaining your options when it comes to things like color shade or the nuances of a cut. Over this period of time, I've had a few different styles (a chic bob, then straight-across shoulder length, and now hip-length with color to cover greys). Zeon has pulled off all these different looks. read more

Needed to get my color touched up while I was visiting SF, and am SO HAPPY I found this salon! It is a cozy, serene space and a very relaxing atmosphere. Worked with Ryan, who is clearly talented and knowledgable about his craft and a lovely personality. Even though this was my first visit here, the color came out perfectly as a touch up to blend with my current color. Recommend highly!!! Makes me wish I lived here! read more

I followed Josh B. over from Peoples Barber to his new spot at Geomantic Salon SF. Did this for one reason: Josh is hands down the best barber in the city. New place is awesome as well. Will definitely be returning. read more

I've been searching for a salon to call home for years, and Geomantic is it. I LOVE my hair, and it also completely fits with my lifestyle. Ryan listened to me and my concerns, and then gave me a perfect cut! I love it so much I'm bringing my child to get her first "big girl" haircut from Ryan. We'll be back! read more

butchered my hair... four months later and I still hate it! Came with photos and clear explanation that was totally ignored

Zeon gave me by far the BEST haircut I've ever had. It looked perfect when I left and even multiple washes it continues to look great.

I was so looking forward to my appointment this afternoon with Ryan for a blowout, that I made sure I arrived 10 minutes early. While he did acknowledge me when I walked in, it was not until 20 minutes after my scheduled appointment time that I took it upon myself to check in with Ryan to see if he was aware that was he was running significantly behind schedule, as he was still doing another client's hair and had not come over to check in with me. After checking in to confirm with him that my appointment was supposed to begin 20 minutes ago, Ryan assured me that he would be "almost done". I explained to him that I had work later today and considering the fact that my hair is very long and has taken longer than 40 minutes to do in the past, that I was concerned he would not finish in time for me to make it to work. Rather than apologizing, or offering some type of concession, Ryan suggested I rebook with him for a different day. If deciding whether or not to get your hair done with Ryan, ask yourself this: Do you want to spend 75$ plus gratuity for that "EXCELLENT" service to get your hair done with an unapologetic, rude man who doesn't have the decency to apologize for running behind schedule, let alone acknowledge the fact that he is doing so? Don't ruin your day like I did and go elsewhere. And Ryan-- maybe reconsider your approach to wooing new clients in the future. read more

I had a fantastic experience at Geomantic Salon with Josh Barry. Josh started cutting my hair over a year ago at a barber shop. I had an amazing hairstylist but I just wanted the sides of my hair re-shaved so I went to a barber close to my house. He did a great job, and suggested a couple of changes. There was something about him that made me trust him - I felt he really knew what he was doing. After that first cut I continued seeing him, and over time my hair has evolved into super fun and edgy . No matter what he suggests, it always looks great. My hair is a big deal, and no one else touches it ;) Yesterday I went to Geomantic for the first time. I had no doubt in my mind I would follow him to Richmond if necessary. The salon is super cool and welcoming. He served me some wine and asked me? Can we change your color? Color? Well, that was a whole new level for me ... I looked at him and said ... "you know I trust you, do whatever you want". I expected to be in the salon for hours, but it was simple, quick and the result was just incredible. Now is shorter and looks warmer, and I love it. Thanks Josh you rock! read more

~ FANATIC ABOUT GEMOMANTIC ~ Ryan is a hair whisperer. I've gone to him for both cuts and color. I know how difficult it can be to find the right hair people. Go to Geomantic. THEY CAN BE YOUR PEOPLE. My hair gets kind of reddish in the sunny summertime and I don't love it so Ryan and Zeon masterminded a formula to tone that down. I've been so happy here. Ryan did a great job with my bangs too and I finally let him give me a proper haircut (versus a trim). WHY OH WHY DID I NOT DO THIS SOONER. I showed him a mood board of some lobs, shags and mid-length texture-y styles and he had a game plan in seconds. Ryan is observant and an excellent listener. He gets to know you, doesn't push you into anything and always has your best interest at heart. I love the way people who work there brainstorm together on ideas and formula solves too--solid teamwork and good vibes all around. They also offer wine and beer if you're so inclined. Oh, and the music is on point. When I got to Geomantic a few different stylists and colorists had touched my head in a short amount of time. My hair had been stripped and still had a subtle (but foul, eww) aroma from the chemicals and product a nearby salon used to do it. Not cool. Ryan and Zeon were there for me after this traumatic time. You can laugh. It's very first-world, I know, but some of you will totally understand. I am so glad I found this place. I'm sure everyone else who works there is wonderful too, but Ryan was my stylist/colorist and Zeon, the owner, would usually being doing hair too when I was there. They are friendly, fun to be around and so talented. I always see awesome cuts and color on their other clients too! And I think the clientele is pretty diverse gender-wise, so if you're a she, he, ze, they, etc. know Geomantic has got you covered--they're good at all sorts of styles. I found this place on Yelp while searching for Aveda salons, and I hope if you're looking you take this one to heart, I wish there were more stars to give 'em. THANK YOU, RYAN + ZEON!!! read more

Graduate of Vidal Sassoon's Academy & long-time pro, Zeon Kitchiner finally has his own shop. And it is magic. He is a master colorist & hair-cutter which is rare to get 2-in-1. HE CAN CUT LONG HAIR & NOT TAKE IT TOO SHORT YEY!!!! He listened to me, gave me the style & color I wanted. I love it. Geomantic is an Aveda salon, & I was curious about a new technique Aveda innovators came up with called "Eclipting," & Zeon did a stellar job. It gave a unique depth to the color, & the cut enhanced it. You're not going to get this service from Supercuts or chop shops like Brockway up in Citrus Heights, ladies. Not to mention, these folks are total pros & fun to hang with. 5 stars! read more

Gentlemen looking for someone you can depend on to give you an amazing haircut every time? Look no further! Josh was the first barber/stylist I went to when I moved into SF and I haven't looked back since! I first started going to him when he was working at People's Barber on Polk and you can read more of his rave reviews on the Yelp page for that location. Josh's unique skill lies in being able to take a client's idea of what they want their hairstyle to look like and executing it in a way that is not only flattering for their head shape/hair quality AND that's on-trend with current styles. My hair definitely didn't used to be one of my favorite traits, but since going to Josh the compliments haven't stopped rolling in. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a best-in-class haircut at a reasonable price! read more

This is an amazing place to get a hair cut. This was my first time at Geomantic Salon and I wanted a different look. I wanted to have short hair ( I had really long hair) but with my frizzy and wavy hair I wasn't sure if it would look good on me. Zeon just made my day by giving me the perfect hair cut. Even with my kind of hair he gave a completely different look to me and that too by making them short (which was what I wanted). Zeon is one experienced guy with lot of knowledge. I am definitely going to come back here again. read more

I had an amazing experience at Geomantic! JOSH is talented and hilarious, and he gave me one of the best haircuts I've had in years! People have been walking up to me on the street to ask where I get my hair done, I couldn't be happier. The salon itself has a hip, chill, comfortable vibe that's just a pleasure to spend time in. I just moved back to SF after 6 years away, and Josh and Geomantic have my business for as long as I'm here. read more

Zeon is the absolute best! He listens to what your expectations are and will go above and beyond to exceed your expectations on how you want your hair done. He will always greet with a smile! read more

I just got an amazing haircut and dye at Geomantic. Josh has been cutting my hair for ten years now and I'm happy he is at this new salon. The space has a nice, comfortable, and intimate feel to it. Josh is great at taking my suggestions while using his own creativity to transform my look. He used Aveda hair color which was wonderful as they had many different colors to choose from. My hair tends to get frizzy so after the blow dry he used brilliant emollient finishing gloss and aveda pureformance pomade. They have great quality hair products. I couldn't be happier with my new look! read more

Had a cut with Zeon today and loved it! I live on the same block and have walked by the salon so many times - glad I finally gave it a try! Loved the salon ambiance, Zeon's professionalism and precision. Will definitely be back! read more

Absolutely love this salon. I was so excited to have a salon open up down the street. The atmosphere is relaxing, fun, and great vibes all around. The owner was very friendly and knowledgable. My stylist, Elisa did an amazing job! I really enjoyed our conversation and she gave me advice on how to cut and style my hair. Already looking forward to my next hair cut! Did I forget to mention the complementary drink when you arrive? Too bad I can't give this place 10 starts. Thanks again! read more

GEOMANTIC Salon SF - Loving my hair cut, great job Elisa. - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

Ryan was AWESOME and super friendly. He fixed my botched bob from another salon like a rockstar. I am definitely going back.

I've been seeing Zeon now for over 16 years, finally following him into his own Salon. The shop itself is comfortable, has great design/character and there is actually parking nearby on the street that's easy, but I go because he's simply the best. He takes his time and does a terrific job and builds a great rapport with all his regular clients. As I've seen over the years, he is a master at color, having supervised and provided training to numerous stylists with whom he has worked. If you need someone good, and he has time available, book it. read more

Had my first hair cut since the pandemic began with Jos, and I'm so glad I came here! I've been growing out my hair, and he was able to preserve a lot of the length I've worked for while still cutting off my dead split ends. He also gave expert advice on how to make my hair look fuller. I highly recommend this salon for anyone else! read more

Excellent everything. Go there and sip on wine or beer or fuzzy water while they make you look. A keeper. read more

Zeon has done my hair longer than I care to admit in this public forum. I keep going back because I love his attitude, professionalism and of course his work. read more

Zeon has cut my hair for the last 5 years. One of the best stylist in the city. If you want to shave 5 years off your life, go to Geomantic! read more

I followed Ryan here and I am so glad I did! I did my first cut and color three years ago with him at another salon, and still to this day I cannot say enough good things about him. He's professional, personable, and most importantly, he listens to what you want done to your hair!! He's also a perfectionist and is extremely detailed so he will make sure to capture everything you want. Not only do I get compliments immediately from my friends but I've been approached by other stylists who comment on how perfect his color application is. A few months ago I thought I could go cheap and get what was supposed to be a trim from a place around the block from my apartment and ended up with the worst haircut of my life. I had to wait over 7 months just for it to be at a length to be able to cut it again! I reached out to Ryan and he told me he was now working at Geomantic Salon and we booked an appointment for a cut and color. As I expected, he worked his magic -- trimmed up the chunky layers from my last cut and did a great bayalage. I'm someone who usually goes 4-6 months without doing anything in between, but I already booked my next appointment with him for next month. All the compliments I receive post-cut are addicting! As for the salon: it's clean, sleek and very hip at the same time. My review was mostly for Ryan but I saw many happy customers coming in and out for other stylists as well. CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!! read more

Geomantic is an awesome salon. The space is very comfortable, and I like that they have local artists showcasing their work on the salon walls. My stylist there is Ryan and he gave me a super short and tight cut that was so perfect. He knew exactly what I was looking for, actually better - I walked out feeling like Marvin Gaye was composing the soundtrack to my new style. He's also such a sweetheart and I had such a fun time with him. read more

Have only had great experiences here. The staff is friendly, the service is timely and the facility is timely. Josh normally cuts my hair - He is very passionate about his work and really listens to the guests' needs. Bravi to all involved with this establishment! read more

Tiana is the best hairdresser in San Francisco! I have never gotten a haircut or color I didn't like. She is so talented and always has a great suggestion. I will never go anywhere else! Thank you for always making me feel so beautiful!! read more

To say Ryan is amazing is an understatement, and if I had a dollar for each time someone complimented me on my cut and color, I'd be a very wealthy woman. I have people stop me on the street to ask who does my hair! In particular, if you're looking to make a big transformation (I went from very long to very short very quickly), Ryan is the one you can trust to make sure you look fabulous. read more

Zeon is the best stylist I've ever had. He's given me incredible cuts for more than six years. In that time, I've switched up my style/length many times--no matter what, he always delivers. My favorite thing about Zeon is that he pulls off exactly what you want. You won't walk out of the salon with any surprises. He's also super precise, takes great pride in his work, and loves to geek out about hair (especially bobs, which are my thing)! read more

GO SEE JOSH. He's as good at cutting hair as he is funny. You can't get a better deal on a haircutting experience than with this guy. Do yourself a favor and go get a cut done read more

I was just visiting the city and in dire need of a bangs trim before an upcoming wedding. I walked into Geomantic Salon and Tiana was so wonderful. She listened to what I wanted and cut my hair exactly how I wanted! She was super friendly and respectful. I can't express how happy I am with my experience with Tiana!

I had my first visit to Geomantic Salon with Zeon. He is INCREDIBLE. He really cares about your thoughts and opinions and also gives great input. Zeon really took his time in making sure my hair was just how I wanted. He blow dryed it and I walked out of the salon with NO straightener. That's never happened. The location is also great! I'll definitely be back! ‍ read more

I have been following Zeon for years for both cut and color. He is a brilliant colorist, and my cuts are always amazing - and they last! I walk in disheveled and walk out polished! I have wavy/curly hair and he always nails the cut! Plus, he is delightful and you will truly enjoy sitting in his chair for an hour or so ....super cute new Aveda salon!
