    I'm sad.
    Justin C.

    I literally had the worst haircut of my life here. I wear glasses and can't see well without them, so every time I go in for a haircut I'm blind and there's a leap of faith I have to take. Kim was busy, there was someone else there to help me, but it turns out this person didn't seem experienced. They asked me how I'd like my hair cut, and I told them that I'd like it short on the sides and the back, but would like the keep the top's length; pretty standard stuff. They took about 30 mins to work on me and near the end, Kim came over, the two spoke in Vietnamese for a bit, and Kim took the clippers and did some touch up. Then she asked if I wanted to shave my eyebrows (????). This all struck me as a bit odd, but nothing prepared me for when I put my glasses back on... They gave me a buzz cut to the left of my part for some reason with a few wayward strands sticking out. I have no idea what possessed them to do this. The top back was also buzzcut. It looks pretty bad. Both apologized, but the kicker was that Kim's reassurance came in the form of her saying, "It's ok, men's hair grows fast. We'll cut it longer next time." I'm a pretty chill person, and not too particular about my presentation, but this disappointed me to the point where I had to write this. I wish they would have been transparent enough to communicate that I was being used as a guinea pig, so that I could at least be more diligent with putting my glasses on every so often. Now I'm wearing a hat every day for a few weeks because there's no man's hair that grows fast enough to hide this.

    I am a visitor from New York, staying with my daughter and son in law close by to Ruby's Cut, which I spotted while picking up breakfast this morning. My hair is thick and curly, and was overgrown in all the wrong places, which makes me miserable as it's difficult to style. I was lucky enough to get a same-day appointment with Ruby. She intuited exactly what I needed shaped up and gave me a terrific haircut!

    I visited on Sunday 12/10; was taken immediately. Received a cut, followed by a wash and blow dry and post dry touchup with scissors and electric razor. They worked with my cowlicks and exposed my widows peak. Price is reasonable for San Francisco. I will return! Attaching before and after:

    I was pleasantly surprised to find Kim in my neighborhood after my hairdresser retired & Covid limited my search in 2020.

Compared to the other studios I've been to, they are the most consistent, honest, and detailed. I have never walked out of this studio unhappy with how my hair looked, even if it deviated a bit from what I originally wanted. In the most recent time I went, I was absolutely blown away with how my hair turned out! So much that I think I will continue asking for this color for years to come, maybe until my hair can't handle it anymore lol I've been going to Romi for a few years for color and haircuts and I deeply appreciate how much attention to detail she has. In my case, she had noted down the colors that I've had before and uses that as a point of reference for my session. This is so helpful, especially since I don't remember what I asked for months prior. Since I liked my most recent color so much, I can walk into the studio with full confidence that I can ask for the exact same thing again because she has it noted down somewhere. Thank you Romi!!

Then a good friend of mine who has been going to Arty for a while now recommended me to try them. So I went in today for the first time and had an amazing experience. Yumiko san was very professional, warm and kind. She took her time to cut, fix my hair problems and styled it nicely. Place is super clean and relaxing. Thank you so much, Yumiko san for your wonderful service. I'm definitely coming back.

A shoulder cut can quickly look crazy on me (mullet alert) but she was able to perfectly layer my hair with some face framing bangs to come out perfectly balanced.

From there, we did an 10 hour transformation going blonde and honestly, that appointment bonded us for life. I've never trusted anyone else since, she's basically my hairstylist and therapist hehe Her balayage is SOOOOO good. It always looks natural, grows out beautifully, and lasts forever without getting brassy. I'm pretty low-maintenance, and somehow my hair still looks put together months later because of her work. Her haircuts are also super clean, and she's actually the one who got me into curtain byayangs and I've stuck with them ever since. What I appreciate most is how much she cares about doing things the right way. When I decided to go back to my natural color, she didn't rush it or take shortcuts. She slowly transitioned me over time and kept my hair healthy through every stage. I live in Los Angeles now and will literally fly home just to see her, that's how good she is! After 11 years, she's more than just my hairstylist, she's someone I trust completely. Highly recommend!
