My mother in law see's a hair dresser at this location and was recommended to make an appointment. We booked an appointment with Anna. She was so great. She really helped my daughters hair look so much more even and easier to manage. My daughter has long hair and a few months prior to this cut we got a very bad cut from someone else. Anna did wonders. Her hair looks so much better. It was bouncy and smooth. She loved the feel of it. We will definitely be making our future appointments at Salon Textures.

Richard is the best. He's been my hairdresser extraordinaire since.... Wow, for about 20 years!…read more He can turn my ugly, frizzy hair into something so soft and pretty, I don't even recognize it. He can pull off any crazy fashion I want - and tells me when he does not recommend a cut I think I want. He has never steered me wrong. But, of course, like any great hairdresser, he knows all my secrets (and spills none!), he listens to my troubles and triumphs with the same caring and kindness - and that has been true since I've known him. A good and mutual friend of ours told me one day...."You really need Richard; I'm going to do you a favor and insist you go see him." He hasn't been able to get rid of me since! Thank you, Richard, for being a friend and an artist, and for always making me look my best. You're amazing!

Location: Lily is in the castro, with good access from the castro, mission and noe valley. She is…read morenext to some bread shop (thumbs down, baked items are not so great) and Samovar Teal Lounge (thumbs up, but pricey). If you're a text message person, it might interest you that I make my appointments by texting her. We'll set it up and then she'll text me the morning of to remind me. Ambiance: Hair Ole is generally a quieter salon. Lily rents out a chair, but generally it's just her when I'm there. She pipes in an eclectic mix of easy to listen to world music, and the general atmosphere is quiet and peaceful. The salon is always clean. Personality: I've never seen Lily except in a good, smiling mood. She's a happy camper and is always good with her clients. There are a lot of regulars and she knows them all by name, spouses, etc, so she has real relationships with her clientele. Lily is good for both talkers and non-talkers alike. Generally I talk to her about food. The Cut: The cut starts with a double wash (I don't remember why she does this, but she told me once) and a scalp massage. Again, it's her way of creating the atmosphere of a salon as opposed to just getting a haircut. About the cut, Lily is a bit of a perfectionist, which I like. Stylists with an approach to the way they cut hair is important to me, because I know it turns out the exact same way every time. I've been going there for 2 years and I can absolutely tell you what she is going to do next. There are no signs of the tell-tale "buzz trimmers" you'll find at other salons. Ask Lily why and she'll tell you,"that's for people who have no skill." This translates into a couple things. First, a slightly longer amount of time, but also careful precision to the cut. Cuts end with another rinse and sitting back down to make sure everything is in place. For what you get, the pricing is actually a bit low IMO. Lily is great and the product is equally great. Note: If you are Asian like me, you know how hard it is to find someone who can cut Asian hair. Lily, being Shanghai Chinese not only does Asian hair, but is the only person in SF that I trust. Most of her clientele is not Asian however.

I walked by one day and saw Lily giving a haircut to the cutest little boy while "Dad" looked on…read more... it was a sight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. I later found out it was the little fellow's first haircut ;) I live nearby so I called Lily later to ask how much highlights were for a man's short length hair ... very reasonable so I went in the same day. Not only did I enjoy chatting with her and the sightseeing on busy 18th Street, but Lily spent considerable time to make sure the highlights were evenly spaced. When finished, I was amazed at how natural the highlights looked. Other salons in the 'hood have sent me home looking like a skunk or the Great Pumpkin. For a leather community guy, I got a ton of compliments on my hair and always refer people to Lily. She has the best prices in the Castro and takes time to ask what look you are going for. I hear her partner at the salon is a great stylist but haven't tried him yet; Lily seems to be an expert with color and also does cuts. My highlights lasted through THREE haircuts and still looked natural and not damaged. Amazing. If new to the city or just wanting to experiment with a new salon, you should give them a try at Hair Ole. They are a welcome addition to the neighorhood.
