I'm so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and gave Kelly's studio a try--it was such a great experience. My appointment was at 10:45am, and although she was finishing up another client's color when I arrived a bit early, she still managed to stay right on schedule, which I really appreciated since I had a tight window. Kelly listened carefully to exactly what I wanted and delivered beautifully, even without an inspo pic. It's clear she takes a lot of pride in her work. I especially appreciated how intentional and detail-oriented she was, taking her time to make sure everything was just right. I'll definitely be coming back and sending my friends here. read more

What a find in the Excelsior! I was able to make an appointment at fairly short notice, and was so pleasantly surprised by the modern, stylish vibe of the salon. I was seen promptly and am very happy with my wash, cut and blowdry! I'll be back! read more

Kelly was prompt, meticulous at hair cutting and followed my inspo photos for the haircut! Her salon has been opened for 3 years and has a modern and new feel to it! So happy to find a new stylist close to me and at a fair price. Will be coming back to Kelly for my future cuts. read more

She is the best! Best service, vibe and skills. Unfortunately I moved to Chicago and I can't visit her anymore!

Really wonderful service! Kelly is very talented and an very personable. Gave me a new style and really happy with the new look. So much easier to maintain. I will be coming back soon for a perm. Thank you Kelly !!! read more

Kelly was great and fun to work with! I got a mid length cut with lots of layers & face framing layers and it looked fantastic after a wash and style (Kelly didn't do this but I did at home)! I have fairly straight hair with a little bit of wave in it. Fantastic service and fantastic price! read more

Kelly has been our designated hairdresser in the past 3 years, and my family enjoy her services in hair cutting, straightening and coloring. Her salon is clean and we always receive warm welcome and personalized services. Just want to give a kudos to her! Keep up the good work. read more

Ocean Mirage Studio - Haircut and coloring - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

My go-to salon in the city for a nice and reasonable price haircut! The owner is very kind and attentive -- she takes her time to make sure I like my haircut and is always happy to make any adjustments per my request. We also have great conversations every time I come there. Highly recommend! read more

Found Ocean Mirage Studio in my neighborhood and Kelly is amazing! I've been coming every 2 weeks for haircut and would highly recommend Kelly. read more

The owner is kind but extremely inexperienced. She doesn't know how to cut any styles, my hair looked worse after the haircut. Only go if you are looking for a straight trim, I would not recommend anything else. She doesn't know how to blow dry either, only knows flat iron read more

I needed a bang trim and decided to drop by this salon as I was in the neighborhood visiting a friend and there was a grand opening discount! Absolutely enjoyed my experience and LOVED how my bangs came out! Throughout the haircut, I felt very comfortable and really appreciated how Kelly, the store owner, would gently check in about how I felt and if there was anything that needed to be adjusted. The salon itself is very well maintained and clean. I will be coming back soooon! read more

Ocean Mirage Studio - Bang Trim - LOVE how it came out! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I am sorry I did not bring a picture of what I was looking for. Language barrier seemed to be a factor in Kelly missing what I was looking for. Honestly though, it's been a long time since I received a substandard cut (uneven thinning in areas, cutting poorly against natural wave). I take full responsibility for cheaping out. There were some flags I ignored - she wanted to straighten my hair with a hot iron before cutting but then she said she could cut dry or I should get a shampoo. I've had my hair cut w/o a shampoo many times but they always spritz it wet before cutting. I commented on this but she claimed cutting it dry wasn't a problem for her. I should have known better. read more

I've been coming to Kelly for over a year now and she's so wonderful with her service, level of care and execution. I always leave with healthy hair after all of my services so a very happy regular here! I usually come in for haircut, touch up/hair color and my personal favorite - oil treatment. Here's a photo from my last visit (haircut + oil treatment). Her salon is brand new, clean and personalized care. I love that she's not pushy/doesn't try to upsale . For all those reasons, I'm a loyal return client. read more

Ocean Mirage Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

After getting our hair cut at Ocean Mirage studios twice, my husband and I decided that it is the go-to spot for both of us. Here's why - the space is immaculate and peaceful, and more importantly, Kelly offers better service than salons I've been to that charge 3-4 times more (literally) for a haircut. She really does care that your haircut is exactly as you want it, even if it means perfecting it past closing time. Kelly is also just SO lovely as a person - she's the kind of person who will remember details from previous conversations and asks about your life as a friend would. read more

Kelly is great and very accommodating amazing Brazilian blowout and berating haircuts everything she does is 5 stars

I'm taking this opportunity to give Kelly my overdue gratitude for always taking care of my hair  and making me look pretty! I have been coming over to Kelly since she opened. I am very pleased that she always gives me her undivided attention and advises me on coloring and styling my hair. I love the haircut and Japanese straightening which are top of the chart and make it easy for me everyday. I have recommended some friends of mine to Kelly and they also became a regular. I'm taking my mom to Kelly this weekend and we look forward to a fantastic hair makeover! read more

I was long overdue for a haircut, when I noticed the grand opening sign outside. I called ahead Saturday morning to make an appointment around noon. When I got there, I explained to Kelly that I wanted a trim and some long layers to help with the thickness of my hair and some split ends. After taking a look at my hair, Kelly suggested that we only do some light layering because I had really nice babylights done and too much layering would take away from the color and dimension. I really appreciated her suggestion, because I didn't even think of that! I wanted to keep my length and only wanted to cut about 2 inches off and Kelly did just that. I am so happy with the results and my hair feels so much lighter and healthier, without having to cut too much. Kelly took her time with my haircut to make sure it came out perfect! She was very friendly and professional. I'm so happy that I found somewhere to get my haircut close by! read more

Had a Brazilian treatment and haircut today. Kelly will hook you up; just call her directly to make an appointment. I loved how professional, honest, and efficient Kelly was. Her prices are fair and the salon is clean. I'll see you in 6 months, Kelly. read more

Great place for a men's haircut! Kelly takes care to understand what you want, then makes sure you leave satisfied. Also a very nice, calm environment. Overall, outstanding experience and value. read more

I have been going to Kelly to get my haircuts for awhile now, and she always puts in a lot of care and effort; I never feel like she is rushing through my haircut. When I schedule a haircut, she is very responsive! read more

I made an appointment for a haircut for my friend and I one day before and was able to get a late afternoon appointment. The hair stylist was very detailed in cutting my hair and made sure to confirm with me during the haircut I was okay with the thickness and length. I asked for 2 inches cut off, to thin out my hair and a bang trim and she delivered all of that and added some layers to my hair. Overall I was happy with my haircut and how it has more movement now. The salon is currently having 20% services so that was also a nice plus. Make sure to tip based on the full price. She definitely deserves it! She's a one woman run business and does it all. Hair salon is located by apartment buildings still in construction so it may be easy to miss. Look out for the signage on the glass windows. read more

This is my second time visiting Kelly's salon and had another wonderful experience. The salon is clean, modern, and creates a welcoming atmosphere. Kelly was incredibly attentive and detail-oriented, taking the time to understand exactly what I wanted and offering helpful suggestions. Her expertise showed in every step of the process. Since it's just her managing appointments, I recommend calling a day or few hours ahead to secure your preferred time slot. Overall, I highly recommend Ocean Mirage Studio for anyone looking for a skilled and affordable hairdresser in a comfortable setting. read more

Kelly gave me a keratin treatment and a much-needed haircut, & I went from frizzy & overgrown to sleek! I love it! The salon is clean, new, spacious & walkable from Balboa BART. Kelly is professional, clear & friendly. I'll be back for another visit before my hair gets that crazy again. read more

I've lived in SF for over six years and have had a difficult time finding a reliable, consistent, and affordable place to get a quality haircut. I'm so glad I found Ocean Mirage! Kelly is an excellent, detail-oriented stylist who ensures I'm feeling confident in my fresh haircut every time. She is always willing to make room for me when I need an urgent trim - and her prices can't be beat. I'm so glad to have this studio in my neighborhood. read more

Clean, Professional, very talented with cut and style! I even did a hair deep conditioning, my hair feels so soft! Great price and right now she is offering 20% off for new customers! Big plus for me, since living in SF, you have to spend reasonable to make it out here! Go check her out she's open for appointments almost every day! read more

The studio is immaculate and her attitude and the attention is very professional and warm. I try the Brazilian hair treatment and I'm really happy with the result! Thank youuu Kelly! read more

I started going to this salon a few months ago because I wanted to get a haircut in the neighborhood, and Kelly has been my go-to hairdresser ever since. Although the studio is a bit tucked away from the main street, it isn't that difficult to find. Kelly is not only kind and sweet, but she also genuinely wants the best for her customers. She's a joy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable throughout the haircut/hairstyling process. She always takes the time to ask about the kind of haircut or hairstyle you want and accommodates your needs perfectly. During the haircut she consistently checks in to make sure everything is to your liking, and if something isn't quite right, she'll happily make adjustments. I trust her suggestions and advice completely, and I look forward to every visit. Her place is nice, clean, and spacious. The price is reasonable too. It was only $22 for a haircut, and it included washing and shampooing my hair. The best way to make an appointment would be to call Kelly ahead of time, but if that's not possible she will gladly take walk-ins as well. However, you should keep in mind that depending on the day, walk-ins may only be available in the late afternoons. read more

Best Brazilian blowout I've had in years. I have really thick, coarse, wavy red hair that gets very frizzy and unmanageable her in the Bay Area. I have tried many salons around the bay and Kelly's Brazilian blowout treatment has been, by far, my best experience. She was thorough, used the perfect amount of product on my long hair and was gentle and meticulous with her technique. Her prices were also more than fair- a steal really, compared to other salons offering the same treatment. Most importantly, the blowout worked like a charm. After visiting other salons, I wash my hair once or twice after the treatment and my hair starts to feel big, frizzy and unruly again. Two months into Kelly's treatment, and my hair still looks beautifully relaxed and feels so much more manageable. I couldn't be happier. Friends and family keep complimenting me on how lovely it is to see me finally wearing my hair down. In regards to her professionalism: I was able to get an appointment with Kelly within a week because she squeezed me into her schedule. And she actually answered the phone when I called! I thoroughly enjoy Kelly's company and consider her a hidden gem on the southside of San Francisco. I even hesitate to share this review, as I would like to keep her all to myself. But for those of you with thick, coarse hair looking for an effective Brazilian blowout and great stylist, please look no further. Let Kelly take care of your hair. read more

Ocean Mirage Studio - Before & After - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I saw the grand opening sign multiple times when driving by the salon. I had been looking for a hair salon in the area for a while. I finally stopped by and made an appointment for a hair color I needed badly. The place is brand new, very clean and spacious. Kelly is very professional, attentive, caring, and wonderful, and on top of that she is offering a 20% discount for the grand opening. You can't beat that. I also like the fact that it is conveniently located and that when I arrive for my appointment, I get seated right away. At other places, I had to wait a long time. This place is fabulous.
