Sylvie P.

I've had my hair done by Gino twice and he is go-to for highlights, gloss/toner. I trust his knowledge and skills and have loved how my hair turned out both time. I like a bit of change in my hair but want to keep it low maintenance and Gino knows exactly what to do!

Unfortunately my experience was far from great for the cost. I got a toner and a trim which came out to $320 before tip which alone is a bit absurd. The toner was $175 which is understandable and turned out good, but the remaining was $145 for a TRIM which you can see large portions of my hair was missed and for that price point is not acceptable. Don't plan on returning and am sad I wasted my time and money to begin with.

Long overdue review for my favorite guy Raj! He has been my hair savior since he joined 4 years ago! I recently came in looking for a new look after being in the darkness of Covid for far too long and after safely feeling comfortable to go to a salon after having my daughter just about 9 weeks ago. The salon has taken proactive measures to abide by the SF health mandates and requirements to keep not only the clientele safe but also the artists themselves. I felt very safe and comfortable since they left their doors wide open to allow circulate air in. As far as space, the artists are kept in good distance from their work stations to remain social distance. I came in asking for a Ombré and after looking at the photos I shared with him, he said it's a Balayage. I want something to easily maintain and didn't require me to come in frequent for touch ups. I love that he listens to what I am looking for and make honest opinions on what is best for me. He clearly has a passion to be creative and is very meticulously about his techniques when it comes to hair. Not only to mention, we have such a great connection and cannot stop talking until I leave his seat. I am so in love with it! Raj for another win!

This is taken straight out of the salon (w/o styling).

TLDR - I don't like my hair, I politely voiced that to them, and I was met with disagreement/no flexibility to fix. Also this place is expensive for what you get so that leaves me unhappy with the result and price. Long story - I got baby lights done by Kat at this salon. Sadly, I would not recommend this place. Reasons include: 1) Simply, I did not like how my hair turned out. These pictures are taken on the same day of the appointment. I thought the baby lights didn't incorporate in my hair well/was more stripe-y rather than nicely blended throughout. I voiced my discontent because I thought this could be easily resolved with another fix/darker toner but was surprised to receive push back and disagreement from Kat. I was a polite customer who paid premium price for just color ($300 + 45 tip), no haircut. For that price, I feel like I should be happy with what I paid for and I am not at all. Also, since I was met with invalidation, even if they finally offered to help fix to my liking, I would feel uncomfortable going back because of this initial reaction. This means I'll need to pay another salon/double the price to get it to the way I want it. 2) Lack of pricing transparency - I asked Kat how much it would be during our consultation and she said 225. When it came time to pay, turns out toner is an extra 75? Weird how toner results in an extra charge (how are you going to get baby lights otherwise)? I've gotten partial highlights with my black hair at other salons and paid around 190-230 (toner included) and asked my group of friends if this was normal which they said it wasn't. Regardless of their pricing structure, I asked the price prior to getting the service and still got met with an unexpected charge. Extra background - I got my hair permanently dyed black in August 2021. Kat told me this darker canvas is what is making it look not as blended. Regardless whether it's brassy or cool toned, darker or lighter, I still wouldn't want to have these distinct stripes in my hair. All in all, I am so disappointed to experience this. No flexibility with the customer. I feel like I paid the premium price for something I'm not happy with. Giving two stars since they were very nice during the actual appointment which leaves me very surprised to receive this service in the end. I sincerely wanted to like this place since it's at a convenient location but will not be recommending to any friends moving forward :(

About two years ago, I met a guy in SFO who had long hair the same color and texture as mine - but with a cut that gave him a real rockstar look. He referred me to Michael G at Honeycomb, and after reading the Yelp reviews and thinking about it for almost a year, I finally went and got my first haircut that was not just a straight trim of the ends. Michael is super friendly and efficient -- and he did a great job with my long hair, not taking too much off and giving a bit of a blunt cut at an angle to the front that has allowed my hair to wave and curl on its own like I never knew it could do! The salon itself is in a beautiful old building that was remodeled inside with skylights and plenty of natural light - and there are frequently cute dogs there (Hi Madigan! Hi Charlie!). It's in Noe Valley so be prepared to take transit, walk, bicycle or motorcycle - parking must be tough for folks with cars!

I've wanted split dye hair for the longest time and Rebekah did an amaaazinnngg job! Thank you!

Kiyoko is fantastic! I absolutely love her tiny little salon in the middle of Japan Center, right…read morewhere all the action is happening! She is incredibly meticulous and detailed with her haircuts, wonderfully gentle and careful with washing, and amazing with hair color. You can tell she takes so much pride in her work and pays attention to every little detail. My hair is very difficult to cut because of years of processing, but she worked her magic. This is hands down the best haircut I've had in years! If you're looking for someone who is skilled, thoughtful, and truly cares about the quality of her work, I highly recommend Kiyoko.

She told me she could do it, but unfortunately, it became clear during the haircut that she did not know how to achieve the style. She cut my hair short and then tried to use a hairdryer and comb to make it look like the pictures, but it did not work. I showed her the reference photos again and asked if she could get help from someone else. She asked a colleague, who showed her how to cut the style, but she still seemed unsure how to do it. Eventually, the owner had to step in and finish the haircut for me. For a long-hair haircut that cost about $100 total ($85 for the haircut plus a $15 tip), I was very disappointed with the experience. At this price point, I expected the stylist to be able to achieve the hairstyle she had confirmed she could do, or to be upfront from the beginning if it was outside her expertise. Unfortunately, based on my experience, it was not worth the price or time.

He took the time to consult with me, listen closely to my concerns, and develop a thoughtful plan to begin lightening my base and gray blending journey -- keeping the integrity of my hair a priority every step of the way. He's incredibly talented and knowledgeable when it comes to color, using modern techniques to create a natural, seamless blend with no harsh lines -- just soft, pretty color that'll grow out beautifully. A total perfectionist, he made sure I was thoroughly happy with the result before I left the chair. The whole experience felt effortless, and I haven't loved my hair like this in so long.

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!
