Adel might have given me the best cut I've gotten in years. He took the time to consult me on what would look best according to my head shape, hair texture, etc. He's artistic in his methods and you can tell how much pride he put into his craft. Amazing value as the price is extremely reasonable for what you find in SF. Thanks so much, Adel! I'll definitely be back -Nick read more

The regular guy i go to used BLEACH in my hair instead of color to achieve a light blonde when he could have lifted it w color. He needs to take a COLOR TECHNIQUES class. Love the upbeat personality of the stylists read more

I love Gary and Jerry (the owners). I have been going to them for 5 years now. They have never increased their prices and it is so cheap for a cut and color! They also don't jack their prices up on their beauty products and will boycott anything that they feel is too expensive. They are good and honest guys, and give great hair cuts too! One time I went in tot get a hair cut and had a French revolution party to go to that night. Jerry excitedly offered to do my hair Marie Antionette style and then spray paint it pink! Because of Jerry I had the best costume at the party. You can bring your doggies too! Thanks guys and keep it up! read more

See all

These guys are sweet as can be! I came in for a quick touch up cut when out doing my errands on Polk on a Sunday and they took me as a walk-in right away. I explained what I wanted and after some quick back and forth, my guy did the relevant work without any muss or fuss. Conversation was great and entertaining, the cut was just what I needed, and I was out the door in about 20 minutes. The price was a bit on the higher end, but I have no complaints given the quality, ease and speed of service, and entertainment value. read more

Eli is amazing! He is such a doll and truly listens to his clients wants and needs. I have gone to him about 4 times now and I am always thrilled with the results! Book an appointment with Eli ASAP! You will be so happy you did! Meridith read more

Maneframe - My layer cut with Eli. - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was on Polk street looking for a hair cut. I picked this place cos it was not as as crowded and had good review on Yelp. A nice old man welcomed me. His name was Raphael. He was going to be my stylist for the hair cut. Here is my unfiltered experience: Cons: ===== - The hair cut was rough. The stylist was pressing the brush too hard, it did hurt at times. He pulled my ears a bit too harshly to reach out behind my ears. He used is hand to clean by tapping on my neck, instead of a cleaning brush, this was not pleasant. -The cut was uneven and rushed. - He didn't follow my ask of not removing too much in front of my head. Pros: ==== - The back cut was ok. It's hard to give feedbacks on the spot since you don't know how the stylist will react. Overall, this was one of the worst hair cut experience I had. I would not recommend this place. Note, I only tried one stylist, they "may" have good one. Hope my review will prevent you a bad experience, and feed into the honest feedbacks that all service business owner should seek for, if they are truly customer obsessed. Thanks! read more

I called early one Saturday morning and asked if a stylist was available. Stephanie answered and said she could take me in the next 15 minutes! I walked over and was seen right away. The place was empty (it was 10:30 am) but I know it get much busier - my boyfriend has also had his hair cut by Stephanie and wasn't able to make an appointment quite as soon as I was. Stephanie had some great ideas for my hair and gave me a great cut. I'm extremely low maintenance when it comes to my hair and she was able to cut away all of my split ends and leave me with a cut I can wear up, down, straight, curly - you name it. The best part is that the wash, cut, and dry ended up only being $35. read more

They are so friendly and we feel like we are family already! Been coming here for about a year now and everyone is so warm They are professional and definitely know what they are doing and have been doing it for a very long time, 20 years or so. They are friendly, experts and fairly priced. read more

Been getting my standard monthly cut with Gary for over a year. Friendly and welcoming staff in general. Very reasonable rates. The kind of low key neighborhood place that isn't overly fancy but gets the job done as requested. read more

Really nice folks, and a great community salon. I had Jerry who took a really difficult task and did a great job. Hope to visit again soon! Also dog friendly! read more

I would have preferred to first send an email to business owners but I was not able to find the relevant contact information. I have been to this salon at least once before for a hair trim and the experience was positive. I scheduled the next appointment for May 14, 2016 at 12:15pm for the same service but with the different stylist (the previous one was unavailable). For whatever reason, the new person (older male with colored reddish hair) proceeded to persistently ask me questions as to why the hair closer to the front of my face is shorter than the hair at the back (I am a female with long hair). I have tried (at least twice) to explain that it could be because I use the curling iron for portions of my hair and that it was not "by design / haircut" that it ended up being shorter. I explained that I need a simple trim / cut and that this salon was able to previously help me with the same service in the past. The person (rather impolitely) continued questioning me re my hair length culminating with the statement that my hair looked "riduculous" and the he is not going to do the job for me and that I should go elsewhere (accompanied by somewhat theatrical gesticulation). I understand that anyone can be refused service but I would like to emphasize that I was polite and the hairdresser was not. One can simply say "Sorry, I don't think I can help you, etc.". Instead, I was practically humiliated in front of other customers and frankly, such an attitude kinda ruined my day. I was in two minds whether I should be giving this review on Yelp but really I think that the owners and clients should know. This is not the way to treat customers. I went to another salon later in the day who were happy to help me right away. I will certainly never go back to Maneframe and that is thanks to the person that I had a misfortune to deal with today. Happy to share photos of my "riduculous" hair. read more

Yesterday I got a haircut first time in 3 month. My look has little influence on my life (Software Engineer), so I usually don't care. And yet I found Eli's contacts and asked for a service. What is about this 40-something guy that made me want to see him again? The answer is - he cares. You honestly can feel it and that's really an amazing experience. Then you make a connection. And then you start to see him as a person with own timeline and stories. Haircut was awesome, no doubts about that. But how does it look on a grumpy person? Eli is capable of fixing that part by making you _feel_ good. And you leave uplifted and smiling. So - Eli - that's my personal message to you - thank you for what you do. I will never forget you and you will arise in my memory once in a while as a beacon for what is truly important. read more

Elizar did a great job!!!! I'm so scared with haircuts, but He knew immediately looking at my hair what I needed. He was very careful with my delicate locks. I was worried to get a haircut, because of my crazy bleached hair. It's super dry, but he knew what to do. He kept my length, but cut off all the damage, and reduced the thickness, texture and shape. I really appreciated the knowledge he had! He even recommended a great product for my dry hair as well. He's super nice as well! He let me and my friend come in with a last minute appointment and we ended up being 20 mins late too! He stayed way later from closing time as well, which was greatly appreciated! He also gave me some dark chocolate with some wine! It was a relaxing and wonderful experience! Thanks Elizar! read more

Got my hair cut with Jerry, and I LOVE it! I have long, thick hair that needed a good trim, and he worked his magic. Their prices are SO reasonable and everyone is so friendly. You can tell by the great customer service that they have a loyal client base - they've definitely earned my business! Going back for coloring soon! read more

Ask for Adel he is the best!! I don't do reviews often, but today I felt compelled. I need to finally rave about this man. He is an incredibly talented hair stylist. I'm a transplant from Chicago and it's so hard starting over with a hair stylist, as you could imagine. But when I stumbled into Mane Frame hair salon on Polk and met him by chance, I knew I struck GOLD! Adel ended up coloring, cutting and conditioning my hair the same day I met him:) I've been going to him for a few months now and he is amazing in every way. He is understanding, flexible and affordable. Plus he is just way fun to hang out with. I always get mad compliments on my hair because of him. My hair is think, course and curly, so it's not easy to deal with. But I've noticed the health and quality of my hair has drastically improved since I met Adel! He gives me a lot of feedback and advice about my hair. I'm so grateful to him. I just got my hair done again today by him and I just feel incredibly beautiful!! read more

If you do decide to go, try to get Eli and you won't regret it. Based off of the previous reviews, I decided to give Eli a shot. Eli is passionate and talented when it comes to handling hair. The haircuts get better and better by the visits as he becomes comfortable with your hair. read more

Every time I leave here.. I sway my hips a little more and bat my lashes cuz boy, do I feel PRETTY!! Love the cuts.. color.. and prices. Keep up the great work read more

My work peer mentioned about this place, and Jerry cut my hair. I liked his way asking what I really wanted to achieve and gave me both solutions and suggestions. I wanted to have a good volume because my hairs becomes dull in the mid-day, and Jerry cut to create the volume that lasted a few months! My other hair stylist who is in local and did the color also gave me a hair cut that was inclusive in the price. I sensed she didn't understand my request and have the skill to create the volume like Jerry did, and my hair became flat. Long story short, I need to drive from South Bay to San Francisco to see Jerry that is well worth to me! read more

Great hair cut. Period. The guys are a pleasure to talk to and the price is reasonable for the city!

I think this place may have changed ownership. I had a really bad haircut from a woman named Sammie who talked rapidly and incessantly about herself while attacking me with her trimmer and blower. Now my hair is uneven and choppy--would avoid this place. read more

Eli Eli Eli After a few year hiatus I decided to once again try Maneframe, the friendly local hair salon. Yeah that was a good decision. Eli warmly received me, thoughtfully walked through what I've liked and disliked about previous haircuts, and then delivered. My wife gave the cut a thumbs up. After the second cut I sat down at my boss' desk and he specifically called out my "sharp haircut." Hell yeah! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Jerry always finds time to fit me in.. he does amazing color and it is unbelievably inexpensive. Super fun friendly environment too. read more

I had my hair cut by Eli and it was a great experience. He's very skilled, has a lot of experience, and also gives great recommendations. I would highly recommend him! read more

JOSEPHINE is the bomb! Deft touch with the cut, outstanding eye for color. Always outstanding service in the salon, always clean. Interesting to watch the other stylists at work also. Can't go wrong ;). read more

About nine months ago, I stumbled across Maneframe in need of a cut for my friends wedding. I sat down with Eli and told him, "I'm going to a wedding next week and my hair is super unruly right now. Can you make it look better?" After asking me a few questions on my style, Eli gave me an awesome haircut right up the alley of what I asked. About three months ago (after a few more cuts at Maneframe), I went back to Eli and told him, "Eli, my hair is super unruly right now. I want to completely mix it up, what do you think?" Eli gave me a cut that I've gone back to consistently in the past few months. In fact, I asked others to replicate it and they simply fell short. Essentially, Maneframe has become my go-to spot for a haircut because of Eli and the amazing staff. I've recommended it to a handful of friends, all of whom have walked away with a positive experience. And now, I'm recommending it to you :) read more

Safe to say you're noticing a trend with these reviews--Eli is the best! I started going to Eli 18 months ago and will continue to. He's consistent, courteous, and collaborative. Whether you're aiming for a new look or the exact same cut, Eli will deliver! You can expect several compliments on the days following your appointment. Aside from the haircut, he's very easy to talk to and super friendly--all around makes for a positive experience. Go see Eli! read more

I have been seeing Gary for about 10 years now. His cuts are so well done. He really knows how to listen and work with what you have. He does great color as well. All for a very reasonable price. I feel so lucky to have found him. He is also so interesting to talk to. He always has some advice about tech that really benefits me. read more

GREAT PLACE! We just moved into this neighborhood and I walked around for awhile looking at different shops first. I walked in here and the place is simple and nice, the guys are life long barbers! Raphael cut my hair and before starting he actually discussed exactly what I was wanting, we looked at pics to confirm and then he did a great job! $30 for a cut! Most places around here are $45-$60! Great place for a great price! read more

I moved into SF a few months ago and really wanted to find a salon close to my apartment that was reasonable in price. I called in the morning of to see if I could schedule an appointment with Eliazar (after seeing all the great reviews for him), but he was completely booked for a few weeks. Since I wasn't patient enough to wait, Eliazar recommended going with Josephine, and she was fantastic! She has been cutting hair for decades, and I definitely trusted her with my hair. Josephine washed, cut, and curled my hair for under $40! Awesome service, what a steal. read more

A couple of weeks ago I made an appointment with Gary. I always get a little nervous because I have really thick curly hair and it's hard to find a place that I can afford and that knows how to handle my mop. I have to say my search is over. I walked in for my appointment that morning and Gary and Jerry are just all around awesomeness. I sat down in that chair and Gary made magic. I love getting ready in the morning now. Not to sound cheesy but it really was life changing. I love waking up with that confidence. I mean I was before but now even more so. Thank you Gary. You guys rock! read more

I came in as a walk-in with the ends of my hair frizzy red blonde, my roots dark browny-gray and the rest bright red. I hadn't had a cut in over a year. When I left my hair was all one color (a darker medium red auburn) and had the shape and body it hasn't had in almost 2 years. Jerry did a great job, was personable (as were the rest of the staff) and the price was extremely reasonable - especially with the amount of work he did. I walked out feeling good about how I looked. Recommend highly. read more

I've been going to Gary Beach for over 20 years and he gives me a great cut every time. I wouldn't go to anyone else!

Maneframe is great! Stopped in for a haircut on my friends recommendation and will be the only place I get a haircut in the city. Definitely recommend it read more

I live in San Diego, and I wandered into Maneframe about two months ago while I was in SF for business. Eli did such a great job that I don't want anyone else to touch my hair! I ended up back in SF again today, and Eli did a fabulous job updating my cut and color. Thanks, Eli--you're "the bomb"! read more

Jerry always does a fantastic job. He cuts my hair exactly how I like it every time. Been coming here for years, even though I've moved out of the neighborhood. And now my wife loves Maneframe too -- a good, affordable haircut from some good people! read more

Eli is the man!!!!! He put so much effort and care into every haircut it's amazing. Plus, he is just really cool guy to talk to. I come here every 3 weeks for the past 4 months, and I have never been more happy with the haircut! read more

I recommend Maneframe. Eli is a great hair stylist. I have been going to Eli for 2 years and he does a great job. He is pleasant to converse with while he cuts and styles your hair. Very affordable too! Thank you, Eli! read more

Called Eli at Manframe after reading numerous positive Yelp reviews. Eli explained he was going on vacation and didn't have time for new clients. So I decided to try the owner Gary or Jerry his partner (who I thought from reviews was an owner). Jerry had the first available time. While cutting my hair, Jerry dropped two combs on the floor. Later Jerry shared that he had had a stroke 3 months prior. Toward the latter part of the haircut I felt a jolt/tug at my hair - Jerry had cut his finger. After stopping the blood and putting on a band-aid, Jerry resumed cutting my hair. He told me he had cut himself the day before and it happens all the time with hairdresser. I wish I had left. Instead, I sat frozen. But now I was watching in the mirror. Jerry's hands were visibly shaking as he cut my hair. After a few moments he said we were out of time, he could not finish cutting my hair, and that I could come back to get the layers I had asked for. I declined the 5pm time, hesitantly paid Jerry, and on my way out told Gary that I was concerned, that he should check on Jerry, he cut himself, and that I did not get the haircut I had asked for. I went back a few days later to ask for a refund as a way of letting Gary and Jerry know that the experience was not ok and that I did not get the haircut I asked for - I had a bob style cut and not long layers with framing around my face. Gary said I had to work it out with Jerry. In short, Jerry walked over, called me an asshole..., and closed the door in my face. read more

Eli is fantastic!! I have seen him about 4 times now for a haircut and blow dry and he does a great job and cracks me up while doing it :) I am very particular about keeping my length (even if my ends suggest I do otherwise), and Eli listens to what is important to me and doesn't try to push me to cut more than I am comfortable with which I really appreciate. I highly recommend making an appointment with Eli! read more
