My long witch hair was screaming for a cut, so I searched for salons near me. Jackson Place Salon popped up as the perfect location, and that's when I stumbled across David and his glowing reviews online. I decided to take the chance and text him about my concerns to see if he was available. I had long hair for the longest time but wanted to try out a much shorter cut, so I mentioned I'm interested in a shorter cut with layers but didn't know what would go well with my long face shape. David responded super quickly saying he was available that night. When I arrived, David was welcoming and personable, very easy to talk to, easing away my nerves. I love that he is very honest with what would look good with your face shape and hair texture. He gave really good suggestions, and we were quickly able to decide on a layered lob. My hair turned out amazing, David takes his time styling for you after shampoo, wash, and cut. My cut still looks great after washing at home without styling in its natural fall over the past day. A gigantic thank you to David and Jackson Place Salon, I highly recommend him! Will be returning for cuts in the future :). read more

David Bui did an incredible job on my blonde highlights. My roots were extremely grown out (new to SF and hesitant to find a new hair dresser), but he blended everything so seamlessly. The color came out absolutely beautiful, exactly what I asked for. I could not be happier with the result and will be back! read more

I read great reviews about David Bui, so I had to see for myself! David did an amazing job he took his time and listened to what I wanted in a hair cut. I asked for a trim, not too short since I have curly hair with long layers. Will definitely be back! read more

Vanessa at Jackson Place Salon was great. Very skilled artist and super friendly. Also loved the setting. Highly recommend!

It was a lovely experience at Jackson Place Salon! I saw some good reviews and called David Bui to book a last minute appointment day of. He graciously squeezed me in as the last customer of the day. I showed a couple of reference photos of the types of long layers I wanted and he gave me just that! He respected the length that I wanted to cut and made some suggestions on the length and amount of layers as well. I would highly recommend David as he's professional, detail oriented, and friendly! The place itself is tucked into a building with an indoor outdoor vibe. It was very nice to treat myself to a salon day here! read more

David Bui is great! I've gone to him for both a layered cut as well as a balayage over the last 4+ years. I like that he really listens to what I want with a cut and doesn't push anything. For the color, he's great at bringing out my natural tones. I have brown/auburn hair so he finds a goldish brown that is already in my hair and adds more. Also effectively covering up a lot of my grays, without going too light. Overall, great experience! read more

My hairstyle/layers has been getting outgrown. I heard of great reviews from a coworker of mine, so I decided to pay David a visit. The salon is nicely tucked away in a nice building shared with a few other businesses. David shampooed my hair, cut it, styled it, and gave me tips on how to curl it. I initially showed him an idea of how I wanted my hair to be cut and final result was my hair came out looking very healthy and happy! Additionally, he is friendly very easy to talk to! I would recommend David for those looking to invigorate life back into their hair! You can make an appointment by texting him directly. Thanks David! read more

I went searching for a new salon close to the FiDi because my current hairstylist left me sitting in the lobby for 20 minutes, 2 weeks in a row and never showed. Once I read the reviews, I decided to give David a shot. I got an excellent haircut exactly like I described it to him. David is the perfect balance of doing what you ask of him, but also knowing what would make for a better look for your hair type and lifestyle. I have very thin hair and David made it look so much fuller and bouncy. Also, bonus points for showing up and being on time. :) If you're looking for a new stylist, I recommend David. read more

Cut off a lot of hair and was pretty nervous, but David Bui was really great and listened and gave advice on what I wanted. I really like my haircut, and would definitely recommend him! read more

Massive thank you to David for the amazing haircut! I had regrettably attempted a haircut at home, and after I realized I was very out of my depth, scheduled an emergency haircut with David based on a friend's recommendation. He did an amazing job cutting and styling my hair, and I will definitely be coming back! read more

You have your stylist. You want them to listen to you, to be kind and friendly and to give you a great haircut and advise you about your hair. I had a good stylist who left and I have long curly hair that I have been letting grow but I was ready for a layering and clean up. I spent about one month cycling through all the reviews and salon websites I could find in the city. Back in the day, I would call a popular salon like Di Pietro and have a conversation with the person answering the phone bc in a hood salon, they know the stylists and help you pick someone but nowadays I don't sense that most salons have the staff or ensure that someone knowledgeable is booking appts. so you are mostly on your own. For me, I found that many salons and stylists had mixed reviews or were outrageous $$$ and if the reviews are not consistently excellent why would you think to spend $$$ After some time, I found David Bui's name and salon and his reviews were all excellent and he also specialized in longer curly/wavy hair so I made an appt and I was so happy I did. I felt welcomed, he listened to me and what I wanted, he was super friendly polite professional and sincere in wanting to make me happy with my haircut. He cut away the poof and have the layers and trim I wanted. Most people want to have a go to stylist they trust and feel comfortable with which is not easy. Many salons have closed so ai think there are people looking for stylists to go to. The salon is in a really nice building, they have street parking right outside and I was able to find parking immediately. They even had some holiday snacks and libations. I left feeling happy with my cut and very comfortable and thats really important to me because I know what I want. David is delightful and did a great job. In case anyone else is out there looking for a new stylist especially if you have long or longer hair and have any kind of wave or curl. Heartfelt thanks to David! read more

I love how my amazing stylist, David Bui, cuts and styles my curly hair! Sometimes he braids it, sometimes straightens it, just for fun! I always leave with the perfect haircut, feeling great! Highly recommend David & Jackson Place Salon! read more

Perfect! David is a fabulous stylist and designer! I'll definitely be returning in a few weeks!

Couldn't recommend David enough! Not sure what I was doing before, but he did a fantastic job to the point where my wife told me I'm not allowed to go anywhere else moving forward. read more

First-time client of David Bui's and I am in LOVE with my haircut. Backstory, I've been on the lookout for a new hairstylist since my stylist moved away to another state about 6 years ago and haven't found one until today! I'm not picky about my day-to-day hairstyle as I don't do much except run a wand through my hair to give me some controlled curls, but when I get a haircut I am a bit pickier because it makes a difference in how I style my hair. I have thick, course, wavy hair and it seems not every stylist knows how to work with it. I live in Colorado, but visit SF frequently enough to come back to him for a haircut. Long story short, I'm excited to have found a new stylist -- David is an artist!! read more

For years now, David has been my trusted go-to for amazing hair. There's something immensely reassuring about knowing that no matter what, I'll leave his chair looking and feeling fantastic. His attention to detail is unmatched, ensuring that every strand falls exactly where it should. Highly recommend! read more

Very happy with my haircut & color, had a very pleasant experience. David was friendly and made me feel comfortable, looking forward to coming back again read more

Called day before my appointment and David called me back same day, scheduled me for the next day. He's amazing! He gave me the exact look I wanted and went above and beyond to teach me how to replicate it at home (I'm not great with styling.... not at all). So professional AND talented! I will be back! Can't recommend him enough! read more

This is so unbelievably overdue but this review is for David! My full hair color change and haircut was over a month ago and I'm still loving it now as much as the day David did his magic. It is so so difficult to find such genuine, kind, and talented hair stylists like him in the city. The level of care he took to make sure my hair was dyed and cut to the plan that we mutually agreed upon was so clear and it was truly a joy to sit in his chair for a couple of hours. Also, I have a terrible memory and don't remember all the various styling choices that were made for my haircut, but my curls have literally never looked better than this. I can't wait for my next salon visit! read more

I've tried many stylists in the city, and David Bui is by far the best. I've been going to him for 5+ years at this point. He's so incredibly caring & excellent at his craft! I trust no one else with my hair. read more

This review is for Samara. I have been getting my haircut by Samara for over a decade. I started with Samara around the time I started working in the Embarcadero Center and she was at Spargo, the men's salon on the gallery level of my office. I followed her to Jackson Place Salon when Spargo/Excalibur closed just before the pandemic hit. For those of you who are not familiar, Spargo/Excalibur was a salon focused on men in the Financial District. Samara's clients there were mostly, if not exclusively, men. Samara is a top notch stylist and is without question the only person from whom I have consistently received a great haircut over the years. (I stopped going in for 2 years when I moved to the South Bay for a new job, but came back when my next job was back in SF.) Simply put, she knows men's hair and I cannot recommend Samara enough. Here are a few reasons I continue to go to Samara: She is meticulous in her craft. She is always professional in her interactions. She took the time to get to know me and my preference: She keeps notes on how she has cut my hair previously. She gives thoughtful suggestions as I navigated my changing hairline from being in my late twenties to late thirties (i.e., thinning, balding, whatever you call it). If you are COVID conscious (which I am, with an unvaccinated 7 month old kiddo at home), rest assured Samara is careful. Re Jackson Place, the salon is situated in the courtyard of a rare brick building with a great little sandwich shop out front (stop and get lunch) with natural light, beautiful palm trees, and provides a relaxing environment. It is a short walk from the FiDi, get your step count up! read more

I got fabulous highlights and a great haircut from David Bui. It's a nice, friendly environment and the people there clearly care about the work they do. read more

David Bui restored my dry, brittle hair. He cooled down my highlights and gave an awesome haircut. I walked out with shiny, bouncy hair that I loved and got many compliments on. He was super responsive through text and fit me in last minute, text him for an appointment: +1 (415) 246-2060, you won't regret it. read more

I really like my haircut from David! He was friendly and listened to what I wanted. Very happy with the results.

First review ever. But true blue. Yesterday I had a balayage coloring treatment done for my asian-blonde strands which have been abandoned for quite some time. I saw David just in the Nic of time before holidays. The Coloring treatment had magnificent results done by DAVID BUI at Jackson Place Salon. Lighter hair, lighter heart. Where I once had my natural black roots, he took it maybe a few levels up to blend and melt the effects to create an Amazingly natural blonde ombré look with some velvet rich browns to balance out the pigment of my high and low lights. (please see my profile photo.) I'll be booking him again for more touch ups. I love his flexible suggestions and ideas. He's very patient but straightway knew exactly what I needed. The salon is conveniently located in the Fidi just a stepping stone from the cafes, galleries and offices. read more

I recently moved from San Francisco to retire, and I can tell you that one of the most difficult aspects of leaving was saying goodbye to my stylist Samara Selb. Samara had been my stylist for over a decade and I have never had anyone do as good a job with my cut/color than her. Samara is thoughtful, talented, personable and very highly skilled. She communicates with her clients to ensure she delivers the exact style you wish for. She is extremely reliable and actively seeks feedback on her work. I couldn't ask for anyone better to work with on my appearance than Samara. The salon itself is comfortable, clean, and affordable with a friendly staff. I highly recommend going to Samara at Jackson Place Salon. read more

I made an appt with a stylist and literally an hour before my appt, he said my time slot was no longer available. Who does that??? Extremely disappointing to say the least and speaks volumes but in the end, it led me to greener pastures aka a better salon. Hopefully, this place finds a better way of keeping track of bookings in the future. read more
