I have been having my hair cut by Nancy for over 15 years. I keep coming back because this place…read morefeels like home and my family loves her like an aunt! She is a neighborhood institution for me. This aside, her experience cutting hair shows, and she charges a third of what you would pay anywhere else. She has an easy and friendly way with customers, making everyone feel welcome and cared for without talking too much. She always washes my hair with the yummiest smelling almond shampoo and conditioner. After a quick confirmation of what I want, she gives me a perfect hair cut every time. She always seems to know how to incorporate my new ideas, and has a natural feel for what cuts look good on different hair types (mine is fine and straight). She was very patient when I colored my hair for the first time and made some excellent suggestions based on the look I was going for (copper-brown). Lastly, she is always flexible with rescheduling appointments! Give Hair Touch a try if you're tired of fussy salons with hipper-than-thou stylists in the Marina or Financial District, that charge an arm and a leg. Nancy is a real gem and a neighborhood favorite in the Inner Richmond district.

WOW! I can't believe I found this gem!…read more I normally don't like trying new places for haircuts but Amy put me at ease. I was unaware that I needed to make an appointment beforehand in order to get a haircut but Amy was able to work around her schedule to fit me right in. Amy did a great job with the haircut (16$, or 19$ with wash), and was quick. She made she to ask whether or not it was to my specification in order to quell any uneasiness about trying her place. She expertly handled her tools, and was quick with the scissor-over-comb with my hair. Overall, I feel very confident in Amy's ability, and am definitely coming here again! Note: She accepts cash and credit cards!

I've had 2 very different experiences here due to the fact that they changed the hair stylist. I…read morecame here in September 2022 and had an amazing cut; I showed the stylist a couple of images & Tiktoks and she knew exactly what to do. She also styled my hair at the end and showed me how to curl my hair properly; overall, an amazing experience for $35. She was the only person in the salon and also the owner. In August 2023, I came here again for the same haircut and showed the same images & Tiktoks to another lady (not sure if she took over the place or not) but she took 1 look and confidently said she knew what she was doing. Homie did not know what she was doing. I was asking for long layers with face framing pieces but she made my hair look SO MESSY with uneven layers and chops. I'm not even sure how she made my front pieces look uneven. Then, she charged me $45 even though the sign at the front still said $35. 2/5 for a great first experience but horrible second experience. I probably wouldn't come again. :(

They took me in for a simple cut and I showed them simple picture of what I wanted. They threw my head around during the washing process. When the hair was done I tried to trust the process and and hoped it wasn't as bad as I thought. She also told me she wanted cash so I had to walk over to city bank to get cash out.

I remember when you could get a haircut and a wash for under ten bucks at a lot of places in San Francisco. Unfortunately, the prices have changed but the haircuts remain the same. I don't know if $20 bucks with a wash is exactly a relief, but at least the cut at Nicole's (formerly 828 hair) on Irving Street was better: ,//(/\\\//)//(///" ,/((/)/\))\, d T T b d o o b \ U / \ U / \ _O_/ -WTF?! \ _--_/ -Better Y $30 for this?! t (but still $20) To be honest, 3 stars should be good enough for a hair salon.

I'd like to say for the record, I've never had my hair done here...I went here for a manicure…read more Unfortunately, what I got along WITH my manicure was a whole lotta attitude! What a shame, since this place is located conveniently in my neighborhood... The first time I went to Nicole's, I saw the manicurist sitting there alone without a customer. So silly me, I assumed this meant she might appreciate a customer. I asked for a manicure, to which she responded by asking me if I had an appointment. I replied that no, I was walking in off the street. She then looked me straight in the eye, glowered, and said, "You need appointment." I apologized, asked when her next available opening was, and she told me to come back in 10 minutes. I came back, discovered she was still sitting alone, and sat down for my manicure. She didn't talk to me at all, other than to ask me in a bitter tone which nail polish I wanted, and did what I consider a mediocre job. My nails started chipping within 24 hrs, which is atypical for my nails when I actually have them done at a salon. Before she practically kicked me out, she said, "Next time you call for an appointment." Now, I don't know about anyone else, but you'd THINK she'd want business when she has no one else in the chair. It made me wonder why on earth she was so resentful of getting some more business! But no mind. I figured, this business is practically around the corner from where I live, and so it's convenient for me to go there. That's the ONLY reason I went back... And I wish I hadn't. The same manicurist was again sitting there, without a client, and before I even asked her if she was available to do my nails, she recognized me and curtly accused me: "You have no appointment. I told you to call, make an appointment. I have no appointment available." Wow. I've NEVER had this kind of impolite treatment from a nail salon before or since! Most places are happy to get some business, even the high end salons...and Nicole's is FAR from high end! Since she'd made it clear my business wasn't wanted, I left, walked right across the street to City Cuts, and that's how I met Bo, who does a FABULOUS job with my nails, never gives me attitude, and if she's available, she'll take me! If she's not, that's cool too, but she's never rude to me, unlike the manicurist at Nicole's. Isn't this the way one is SUPPOSED to run a business?? Meanwhile, I will NEVER go to Nicole Beauty Lounge for any service again, nor would I recommend it to anyone else. I hope that the owner reads this and instructs her employee, the manicurist to be more polite to customers in the future!

Over the years coming here, I've come to consider myself not just a customer of Shi and Chilan, but a good friend as well! They are both consummate professionals and extremely reliable, not to mention warm and friendly on a personal level. We all know how difficult it can be to find a new barber, and I have remained loyal to this place because they know my hair, I always have a pleasant experience and a great hair cut on top of it. I like to tip well because of our relationship but their haircuts are reasonably priced and Shi even started selling succulents during the pandemic too! If you're looking for a new barber, whether you're a parent with young kids or a hesitant early 20s male like me that struggled for a long time to find a reliable option or anywhere in between, give this place a chance! You won't be disappointed.

Even when I want one thing and she knows it will compromise my hair, she gives me options and let's me know what would work and what wouldn't. I'm shocked that anyone has ever had a bad experience with her or her shop. Is it cheap? No. But why would you expect amazing results for next to nothing?! Seems odd to even think you will sit in a stylists chair for hours and not fairly compensate them. Most salons charge the same or more than she does and the service is subpar. I would never tell people to book someone I recommend unless it's the best. Elenie is the best I've come across in many years and she does amazing work. I get tons of compliments on my hair and I'm always happy to refer people to her. Today I got a beautiful blend of dark brown with golden highlights and it was as close to a true sombré that I was able to get without ruining my hair. Not every style works on every person, and just cause YOU want a specific cut or look, doesn't mean you will look as anticipated. That's why a consult is important. Have options not just 1 photo for your stylist, make appropriate selections and follow direction is my suggestion for those seeking a new or refreshed look. Today I wanted a lighter color but after discussing things, it was clear I would only ruin my hair if I did that, I ended up with a beautiful color, close to my own; lovely highlights and lowlights and the sombré look I desired. I've posted a photo so you can see my results. Money well spent!
