Dr. Sammie is an exceptionally talented, shears-only haircut expert! I only allow stylists to cut my hair with shears, and over the years I've gained a keen eye on who can cut hair well. Sammie is definitely an expert. Confident and efficient. Highly recommend! Her newest client from Virginia :) read more

Winnie is amazing! I have been going to her for haircuts for a couple years now and she absolutely slays every time! I have wavy/curly hair, and she always knows what to do! Last couple of times I have been brave to get bangs and the compliments are non-stop! She is flexible and takes me as a walk in, even when I'm walking by with my dog. read more

I went for layers and they cut it super short. Never go. My birthday is tmr and they messed up. Please never go. They call themselves Dr. for some random reason. They can't do haircut properly. I spent 150 $ on this read more

I got my long hair chopped into a bob! The service was wonderful and quick but felt very intentional. The vibe was super casual and friendly, it felt like a fun family in there. Very fairly priced. I'll be back for trims! read more

My boyfriend got his hair absolutely butchered at Snip2Curl. Based on a recommendation from local longtime customers, he went in with reference photos of the shag he was looking for. However, rather than just admitting she didn't know how to do the cut so he could go somewhere else, she argued with him about what he wanted and insisted on doing it how she wanted to. He came in with loooong hair, but left with a shoulder-length haircut that looks nowhere even close to the reference photos. The only mercy is that she left enough length left for someone more skilled to fix the cut. Could have been easily avoided if she just admitted she didn't know how to do the style he requested, but she was argumentative. read more

Great haircut from Sammie today! She gave my hair shape and got rid of my dead ends so quickly and with care. She also charged a great price for the haircut. Photos are before and after with styling read more

--- I recently had the absolute pleasure of getting my hair done by Sammie at Snip2Curl in San Francisco--and wow, what a transformation! My hair is naturally straight, but Sammie worked her magic and gave me the most beautiful, bouncy curls that stand out in the best way possible. I'm honestly so glad I chose this salon out of all the others I was considering. Like they say, everything happens for a reason--and I truly couldn't have made a better decision. Sammie is not only incredibly talented but also so warm and welcoming. She really listened to what I wanted and brought it to life even better than I imagined. If you're thinking of switching up your look or just want someone who genuinely knows their craft, Sammie is the one. Thank you again for the amazing work--I'm still getting compliments. Satisfied. read more

I am in tears because they call my hair stylist Dr. Sammie and she is such a sweet soul!!!!!! When you encounter people as kind as she is , it's the best! But it's even better when they are your hair stylist! It makes the haircut a treat to get! Super relaxing, refreshing and uplifting!!!!! I feel rejuvenated! She has very light hands! And my hair feels happy being handled by her. The cut isn't blunt and rushed or forced. She takes great care and loves what she does and it shows! At first I was skeptical, my first time going somewhere new that wasn't Di Pietro Todd. But I felt compelled to try Snip 2 Curl because the reviews were very good & was reassured because Dr. Sammie, She has been cutting hair for 30 + years and it's very clear she knows what she is doing! I showed Sammie the haircut I wanted---on a model from Instagram, and she copied it exactly! I was very impressed and excited. I didn't really plan on getting a haircut but it's my birthday tomorrow! So I figured that the girl who cuts her hair is about to change her life!!!! And the icing on the cake is I get to look beautiful for my 35th birthday! Yay! God bless & peace be with you, thanks for reading my review read more

Winnie is awesome -- she knows how to cut hair (although I'm super basic and just want split ends off and enough length to pull my hair into a ponytail). She works around your schedule, is affordable, and is absolutely great if you want to work on your Cantonese. She's also really funny and I get all the latest gossip on my other friends who also go to see her :) read more

I'm really surprise this salon has so many high ratings. I came here because I thought they would know how to delicately and intentionally cut my hair (curly) to fit my face. Winnie and I discussed only cutting an inch off, she definitely cut more than an inch. She also talked to fast and much that she didn't spend much time on my hair. She told me oh I'm going to wash you, she didn't tell me a wash was an additional amount of money. I paid $85 for a hair cut that lasted maybe 25 minutes, as she was trying to rush so she could get in other clients. She poorly washed and conditioned my hair, used a brush you should not use for curly hair and honestly since I have I showered, and style it it is not fitting nor sits in a way that looks good on me. I'm embarrassed by my hair and genuinely feel self conscious. These ladies are just trying to rush, get through haircuts as quick as possible it feels for money, and don't care to take a moment to assess your hair, before or while they are cutting it. Winnie also kept combing her finger through my hair when dry, it messed up my curls. Winnie also complimented her skills way too much, without asking me what I thought. These people know little to nothing about curling hair. Although, maybe they do better with men's hair. I will not be returning here. read more

Sammie has been my barber for over ten years and has always delivered great haircuts. She has gotten to know my hair and preferences perfectly, and it is great to have someone I can trust to do my cuts at an affordable price point. read more

i normally dont leave reviews, but wanted to share my experience. i walked in for a hair cut and the stylist there was sammi who i had read good reviews about and was excited. she was in the middle of another hair cut so i sat and waited. when i got into the chair she started complaining about the prior customer and told me to not be like them. i explained i wanted to keep length but cut off dead ends and add layers and she said she wouldnt be able to keep length and started telling me that my hair is damaged gross and that she needs to wash it before she can cut it. i have really curly hair and i prefer them to cut it dry. i also have extremely healthy hair. i was uncomfortable so i decided to go else where. i got the vibe that the stylist just wants to cut it their way and thats not how i like it. read more

My hopes for a decent curly cut at Snip2curl. As anyone with curly hair knows, finding a competent curly hair stylist is a tad challenging. There's a difference between curly and straight hair cut techniques. And there are many sub types of curly hair to understand. There is a lot to know and I did not sense that understanding here. The cut I got has made my curls split into little curly strings and bush out without definition. :( And there is moisture loss. It's a mess. 5-star reviews are not the whole story at any time. Lesson learned! Plus, although I didn't have a partial highlight booked, Winnie says and what about highlight, i can do. I had high hopes.When it was finished she was all pleased and I was trying to appreciate it but I figured I would restyle it and it would be okay. But no it wasn't. My curls did not form as before. And the color was so bad. At least a decent partial could have brightened things for a while it grew again. The pics are two weeks, one- day after visit. The color is weighted more to one side of the head, orangey instead of blonde and did not even cover my prior roots. Not the work of an experienced Colorist. Vibe: unpleasant. salon is like Grand Central. Appointments are for show. All walk ins are taken. " Yes, sit, sit, we can take you now, sit." Those with appointments had to wait too saying", how much longer will it be! On man took charge over his service giving directions watching every cut she made, questioning and checking it all until he was satisfied enough. No I do not recommend. read more

I went to Winnie with extremely damaged permed hair that was no longer curly, and wanted to digital perm to revitalize. She was wary about damaging my hair more, so did hair strand tests and determined we can go ahead. I have a lot of hair (like needing 2-3X the curlers and material), and she patiently did all of it, including stay late after closing. My hair felt so much healthier and bouncier, and my waves are better than it's ever been before, including from more pricey salons. I appreciated her being honest with me about what is or is not appropriate for my hair health and needs, and doing tests. Another time I came in because I tried to dye my own hair, and thought it came out blotchy so rushed to her to fix. She ended up saying I actually did a good job and it wasn't necessary to re-dye it--I just needed to dry it thoroughly (oops). After it dried all the way, I realized everything looked fine! I appreciated that she was honest and didn't take advantage of my distress and damage my hair more. Another note--when I was sitting for the perm for many hours, there was a continuous stream of regular customers, including someone who moved out of town after being a decade long customer but still wait until he's back in town to get hair done because he trusts her the most. I think that's a huge testament to Winnie that so many people come back. Now I consider myself one of them! I also rarely take time to give review but felt compelled to because I want to support the business and I really value it. read more

So I needed a haircut real bad, like real bad. I called this place and made an appointment with Winnie. I came here today and OMG!!!! Winnie was absolutely freaking amazing!!! She did exactly what I wanted and didn't cut too much length off. She washed and cut my hair exactly how I wanted. She straightened my hair as well. She also gave me some free hair scissors to in case I wanted to trim my own hair. Winnie was just great. I FINALLY found a great hair stylist in the city. And it's very close to where I live. Only a 5 minute walk. I highly recommend this place. And if do give this place a try. Ask for Winnie to cut your hair. You will be glad she did. read more

It was okay. Would have been good for a $15-30 haircut, but for $55 I would expect a a shampoo. My hair was cut dry, is a bit wonky, and at the end my hair was cut without the cape so I was left covered in tiny itchy hairs. Again, pretty decent, but for this experience and outcome I would go to Win's or a similar downtown barber in the future. The price of a plain haircut is also listed as $35 read more

Been going here for years & will never go anywhere else! I have very thick hair so it's hard for me to find hairdressers that can deal with it. Winnie always cuts my hair does such an amazing job. She's quick, so funny, and it's super affordable! read more

I had to travel all the way from New York to get a decent haircut. Coast to coast, Winnie is the best. Now every time I go back to San Francisco, stopping by to get a cut from her very capable and skilled hands is a MUST. Thanks Winnie! read more

I have spent years growing out my hair and not applying heat etc - basically doing everything I can to keep it healthy and long. Sammie ruined my hair today. She forgot I had an appointment and did not have any time to wash my hair first and decided to cut it dry without even spraying my hair. I have wavy hair and this led to the ends being uneven and looking sheared and frayed. I also told her what I wanted clearly in the beginning (the same haircut I've gotten for 10+ years). She does not listen and continued doing what she felt. I just wanted a small trim, 1 inch, and some bangs. She refused to give me the style of bangs I wanted and said it wasn't going to work for my hair type. She kept saying that the way she was cutting my hair would keep it detangled and continued to cut more off. She would make comments about split ends when in reality every other hair stylist has told me I have very healthy hair. She was very heavy handed and I got a headache from her dragging her fingers roughly and not caring about how this was yanking my hair. I wish I had walked away sooner. It went horribly. I saw half of my hair on the floor, my beautiful length was gone and my hair felt thin, frayed at the ends and I was devastated. When it was done, she offered to wash my hair only because her next customer canceled on her and I declined because I did not want it to turn out any worse. I am having a hard time trying to understand where all those good reviews come from. Honestly, I would never recommend this place. read more

You can trust Sammie with your curls. As a man with curly hair, I have struggled to find a consistent haircut for years. I am so glad I discovered Sammie in 2012 shortly after moving to SF. Her consistency, quality and price cannot be beat. I've since moved further away, but I still gladly travel across town anytime I need a trim, knowing Sammie will always leave me with a good layered balance. And I don't make it very easy, often going 6, 12 or 24 months between cuts. read more

I have been getting haircuts from Winnie for ten years now - every time I go back home after the haircut I get compliments from my wife. She is super consistent and you will get a well priced haircut that keeps you looking sharp forever. This is not a hipster haircut place, just got old really great haircuts month over month. One more tip - parking is abundant within a few blocks radius - I like to come on Sunday since you get free street parking in case you are driving. Great spot for both men's haircut and women's haircut. read more

It was Sunday afternoon and my hair color was drab. My hair was frizzy and really didn't want to color it myself, again. After searching reviews of local salons I found Snip2Curl. This isn't the normal type of place I would frequent, but I'm really glad I gave them a shot. I called up and Winnie answered the phone. She had time to fit me in for baby lights and a cut. I walked over and was pleased with my whole experience. Winnie listed to what I was dosatisfied with and my hair goals. She made recommendations and ultimately fixed me right up! I decided to color my almost black hair bright blue during covid. It left me bleached hair that was trashed. I'd previously tried to hide it by coloring the bleached part back to my natural color but there was a sharp line. Winnie took it in stride and successfully blended my hair into a natural look! I cannot recommended Winnie enough. Make an appointment today! read more

Winnie saved my day twice! When I needed a cut & blow out on my birthday she did a great job in my cut & listened to my describe the different ways I wear my hair so my cut would be great for all the styles, curly, straight or up. Then I returned to get sun kissed highlights before a trip and did a great job accenting my face, previous baby lights so my color would look more natural and have Beach kissed blonde. Great prices, nice salon & she is fun to chat with. Especially explains about your existing hair & the process so you get just what you want. Thanks Winnie!! read more
