Hair before the cut.

I decided to go from really long and luxurious hair down to my waist to a little bob. I chose to trust Pauline, who last cut my hair a decade ago when I was a teenager still living in San Francisco. For nostalgia, maybe? Or because I wanted a seasoned professional with real talent and expertise for such a huge change, not just an expensive salon with fancy interior design. I couldn't be happier! Cut & tip was $60, a steal for the quality of her work. Her attention to detail is so impressive, and she made sure to cut the hair exactly how I wanted, but at the same time had opinion and suggestions that made sense. Thank you so much!!!

Horrible experience for women's haircut... Came in and asked for no shampoo, but they said I needed to wet my hair as she prefers to cut wet hair. The husband went ahead and shampooed anyways, but whatever it's fine. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and the result came out NOTHING like it. The length was too short and the layers blunt. She insisted that I agreed to that length and even suggested if I want to leave one side unlayered so it appears longer... Pricing was $30 for the worst haircut I've ever had.

Very friendly and took me in same day. Not scared of curls. Yay! Many salons are scared to work on my crazy curls. Happy with my hair cut and highlights! Thank you Pauline and Andy I will come back.

Very friendly service. I was able to call a half an hour ahead to make my appointment. I got a great wash, cut, and blow dry for less than $60. Pauline paid attention to the details of the haircut, and made me feel very welcome. Provided a cup of tea too which was very nice.

Hands down this is the BEST place to get a haircut in the city 1. best price. 12 bucks, cant be beat 2. best people: super friendly husband and wife couple 3. good parking outside, but have to pay. you can park on the side street however 4. good cofee around the corner and mexican food a block away if there is a wait 5. excellent haircut. been going here for the past 5 yrs after terrrible experiences w/ other salons

My review is for women haircut, color and styling. I had an honest opinion on what options I could and couldn't do with my hair and i really appreciate that. Owner wasn't trying to sell and push products and options to jack up price. Finally cost is really reasonable for the quality you're getting. Appointments are a must for long hair and call to check current hours. Come here for a reasonable priced simple haircut. Don't come expecting a fancy, trendy salon that will do crazy styles or coloring.

Victoria's is still a solid five stars for hair removal!…read more Since my first review over a decade ago, a few things have changed - the studio moved (just a few blocks east, with better parking in my opinion), I've moved (a few times!), I tried laser hair removal (meh), and Dao has upgraded her electrolysis machine (making her process even faster). Through all the changes, my rating and loyalty remains. I can even walk across the street from where I currently live to get waxed instead of driving across the Bay Bridge and halfway across the city to get to Victoria's, but I still prefer Dao! Dao's efficiency, excellent work, affordable prices, and sweet, chatty demeanor keep me coming back. Although my first Brazilian electrolysis session was over 7 years ago, I have only booked/been able to tolerate 30 minute sessions, 1-3x per year. Certain areas of the body have more stubborn hair that requires more sessions, and Dao is very upfront about all of this. A few weeks after each session I notice less and less hair regrowing; there are certain areas where hair has never come back, and the areas that she continues to work on gets smaller and smaller. I look forward to my next session with Dao and I'm thinking I will ask her health/beauty tips, because she doesn't look a day older than the first day I met her!

Great work and nice person. Quality work and respect for patient…read more And nice company, Sadie the puppy.

5 stars hands down for both the quality of the waxing services and the amazing experience this team…read moreprovides. I've always been super scared about getting a Brazilian despite my relatively high pain tolerance. I decided to bite the bullet by booking with Erin after a long day at work. In all honesty, she made the experience so much easier and relaxing even despite the pain and discomfort that comes from these waxes specifically. Upon walking in, she instantly greeted me and was super welcoming. I used the bathroom before my wax to calm my nerves and walked into such a pretty and pink glittery bathroom! Not gonna lie, it was a pretty good distraction lol. Like any person would, I was pretty nervous but I decided to go for it because of the results. It was so worth it. It does hurt, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Your first wax always hurts the most because obviously you don't know what to expect, but it does get better after the first strip. I have to say though, what really helped ease my nerves was how chill the whole environment was. The staff makes every client feel welcome, and in my case Erin was super friendly, thorough, and overall such a vibe. It made the entire experience feel a lot less intimidating. They also have complimentary snacks and drinks and initially I passed on them because of how nervous I was, but after my session, best believe I ran to the snack station. As an SF native, I am proud to say that I will be returning to reWAXation as a regular! I am so glad I found this gem. Thank you to Erin and the team for making this experience so much less daunting and a bit more fun!
