I have been going to Sophia for 8 years now and she is the absolute best. She is completely honest and will tell you if what you're asking for is not possible (boxed black to bright blonde? no way!). She's taken my hair from denim blue to blonde and back to its roots over the years and somehow makes the hours sitting in the chair go by in a flash. I'm not sure what I'll want to do with my hair next, but I do know that if I go to Sophia I'll leave with hair that's much cooler than I am. read more

I have been going to Sophie for a few years and absolutely love working with her. Her skill with vivids is spectacular. She is super chill and down to earth so I never feel "not cool enough". I highly recommend her. And if you're doing vivids, definitely!! read more

Sophia continues to create hair fabulousness! I still ask a bunch of questions and Sophia continues to have knowledge to share. What makes her such a great stylist and colorist is that she keeps up with techniques and trends. Sophia is always real with me about Instagramreality vs realistic expectations. I get my hair done to last months and sometimes treat it in not so color perserving ways and Sophia educates how care for my color inspirations would look like taking into account how I would realistically care for my hair. I always get compliments on my hair. You know the work is great when people compliment my "I'm about to schedule a new color appointment with Sophia" very faded hair color. read more

I wanted to write an update for Sophia, as it's been five years since my last update. Sophia is still my favorite and only colorist and hairstylist I go to. The high level of customer service has been consistent throughout the years. She listens to any changes to haircuts or hair coloring brands I would like to try out. I love Sophia is always updating her knowledge of new haircutting methods, products, and tech. I trust her suggestions for hair products, especially as someone with a scalp condition, as she pays attention to ingredients and how they affect the scalp and hair. I always leave Sophia's chair happy with the result. read more

I can't recommend Sophia enough. I love my color and cut. She rocks!! She's an amazing colorist. I looked everywhere for someone who specialize in henna coloring and found her on yelp. After my appointment I was walking on air. The color was perfect and the style was meticulous. It was exactly what I wanted. She's also super sweet and easy to hang out with while in the chair. I'm grateful to have found her. Thank you yelp! read more

Sophia is amazing! She's been doing my hair for 5+ years. She helped me transition from dying my hair to going to my natural, mostly gray, all while remaining stylish with cut and accent highlights! read more

Sophia works magic with color and really gets what it is I am looking for. She can take my vague ideas around what I want for my cut and color and help them become reality. Working with Sophia is a real partnership and that is what I love about working with her. If you are looking for a great stylist that works magic with colors go see Sophia. read more

I am one of those people more used to a basic haircut, nothing special and defiantly just a chore to get out of the way..... I felt like that needed to change, I heard in the wind of a Mythical Hair stylist which can change you inside and out. A hair stylist that can bring your inner adventurous self out and make you feel special. I booked an appointment. Upon arrival Sophia asked me a lot of questions, questions I never asked myself, questions about how I felt about my hair and my general ideas of what I want. Sophia gave my hair more love and attention then I had ever did. She was patient and took the time to understand what kind of person I am and what style I would be happy with. It was a wonderful experience, and she made sure I was more then satisfied and talked to me a lot about hair care and how important it is to have a hair style that makes me confident and happy. Sophia isn't afraid to take the time to talk to you and help you figure out what kind of style you would like if you come in not knowing anything. It no longer feels like a chore to me but a wonderful experience I look forward to. I walked out of the salon a new man that day, dropping jaws and turning necks, and it was all thanks to Sophia's wonderful skills and attention to detail. read more

I will follow Sophia wherever she goes, as she is hands down the best stylist ever. Smart, witty and hella talented, Sophia is an expert and always gives me the best haircut I've ever gotten (now does she do it?!) she's great at color and styling too. I love spending an hour with her. Six weeks seems like too long to wait. Seriously! You won't be disappointed. read more

I have been going to sophia for 7 years and love how my hair and color comes out every time. She hears what I'm thinking about and matches my ideas every time. I'm persnickety AF about my color and she's glorious with meeting my hopes. Go see Sophia! You'll love her! read more

Sophia did my ombré a few years back and it was the happiest I'd ever been with my hair. So when it came time to schedule my color before my wedding, I knew I had to go back to her. I described what I wanted and she seemed to completely get it. She takes the time to do everything perfectly and doesn't rush through anything. 4.5 hours later she revealed the beautiful colors I had hoped for - absolute perfection! And I had a blast chatting with her and hanging with her doggie all day too :) Go to Sophia for color, she's a true artist! read more

It is time yo update my 2018 review of Sophia. I relocated away from the Bay Area last year, so I can now get a Sophia do only by traveling to SF. I have raved before about Sophia's skill and professionalism, having witnessed her work firsthand for 15+ years; having now been trying for a year to find a comparably talented technician in a comparably delightful personality, well, I'll just say that I gave up and bought clippers. Sophia is the real deal best there is. She has dedicated herself to continually learning, growing, and improving her skill set, and she is my go-to when I need to know what the current trends are. Her knowledge is vast, her technical knowledge and skill second to none, her artist's eye impeccable, and her heart golden. My hair really misses her, and so do I. read more

Sophia is amazing and does wonders with curly hair. She cuts both my daughter and my hair long curly hair and we could not be happier with our cuts. She is also an amazing colorist. Sophia is a joy to be around and I highly recommend her services! read more

Can't say enough great things about Sophia!! I've been going to her for years now and I will never have another set of hands touch this hair again. Shes talented, friendly and keeps it super real with you. I have A LOT of hair and knows how to work with it. If you're looking for a hairstylist you can trust will insane skills, you've found her! read more

Sophia is great! She's always given me great color and cut that grow out gracefully. She's so knowledgeable and great with color; from blonde to pink to blue to blonde again, my hair has been healthy and often complimented. read more

Sophia has been cutting my hair for years! She's a great listener about what you want, gives you good feedback about what's realistic, and is always fun to talk to while she's cutting your hair. Just go already! :) read more

Sophia is a gifted stylist and a wonderful person. I found her when I was looking for someone to cut and color my child's hair. She did such a great job, that I started going to her myself--even after I left the Bay Area. Over the years, she has worked with my difficult hair to achieve wonders. My most recent appointment with her gave me my BEST HAIRCUT EVER and beautiful color. Thank you, Sophia! read more

Sophia is the best! I've been going to her for almost a decade and haven't considered going to anyone else since our first consultation. She is a true artist with color and is a perfect mix of adventurous with experimentation and being practical and honest about the limitations for my specific hair. I moved out of San Francisco 7 years ago and Sophia is one of the only things that keeps me consistently crossing that bridge back into the city. I always leave feeling refreshed with a new style and happy having spent a few hours in the company of a smart, funny, and kind person who is easy to talk to and pleasure to be around. read more

Sophia is the best! I've been going to her for almost four years. She took me from box dye dark black to platinum blonde! I never would have been able to go blonde without knowing that I trust her expertise completely! She also always gives me the best haircuts I've ever had! She truly is a master at what she does! read more

Sophia is so much more than a talented and fabulous stylist that I have complete hair-trust in and will never leave--she's a REAL, intelligent human being that I love talking to about topics way beyond hair. I was lucky enough to find her when I moved to the city 5 years ago and I haven't gone to anyone else since. At this point, I mostly get my hair cut just so I can hang out with Sophia. I consider myself 'low-maintenance' when it comes to beauty, but I'm hyper-conscious about my thin hair and cow lick. Sophia understands this about me and gives me the right texture and cut to address these sensitivities. In a city and in an industry where it's common to be (or at least sound) shallow, I especially appreciate Sophia's depth and intellect. She's real, which is part of why she's so good. She listens to people--she knows them--and then suggests what will work for them. She's not looking for what she can sell you or to pursue her own vision--but she will help you with a vision if that's what you're after! Previous stylists always tried to get me to color my naturally light blonde hair (assuming the increased $ for color). Sophia has never tried to push color on me or to do anything that I'm not in to. Sophia, I so appreciate you, your talent, and your friendship! Thanks for reading my mind, boosting my style-factor, and giving me cuts that are constantly complimented. To boot, Sophia has been rockin' imPEACH colored hair in honor of the current administration. read more

Sophia is the best! A few years ago, a friend recommended her to me and I saw that she had the best reviews of all the hairdressers at the salon in the Mission. I've been going to her and following her ever since! She's not only warm, personable and incredibly funny, but she's an incredible hairdresser. She intuitively gets what you're going for style-wise and makes sure to check in along the way to ensure it's exactly what you want. I've loved every cut I've received! I couldn't recommend her enough! read more

Sophie has been my favorite hair stylist for my short wavy hair! She is very attentive and always manages to make my hair look fabulous!

Sophia has been my hairdresser since I moved to San Francisco 5+ years ago, and she's incredible. I originally found her walking into a salon in the Mission and asking "who does the best with Blonde Hair here?" And she totally does. I've had consistently amazing cut and color over the years, mixing it up from time to time, but always loving the result. I've also recommended non-Blonde friends who have been similarly impressed! In addition to an awesome work product, Sophia is also one of my favorite humans - smart, funny, and creative, and it's a pleasure to visit every 6wks/2 months. read more

Sophia is a gem among San Francisco stylists. I found Sophia because I was looking for someone who specialized in short cuts. She has done a great job with my short hair (and my notoriously difficult cowlick), but she's also done so much more. Sophia guided me through my first ever color and gave me great advice on what would work for my hair. She knows how to bring out your personality through your cut and color. Not only is she a great stylist, she makes it easy to book your appointment and makes you feel comfortable while you're in the chair. read more

A true master of color. Wouldn't go to anyone else or try to color my own hair again. She's on top of the newest developments and keeps my hair looking amazing in this very calming and effortless way. read more

Sophia is amazing! I've been going to her for over 5 years and she will be my stylist for a lifetime. She is very talented and knowledgeable. A true professional. She works with you to give you a cut that matches your type and is honest what your hair can or can't do. She is also a color guru gives great advice. I have curly hair that I've worn very short for a long time. I'm growing it now and because of Sophia's skill, I'm sticking to it. I always get compliments. When I do, I reply " It's Thanks to Sophia!" On top of all that, she is lovey person and I always enjoy seeing her. read more

I've been going to Sophia for over 5 years, and she's a dream to work with! I've got thick, long hair, so the wrong kind of layers and I end up with a giant poof. She's nailed the layers and takes a lot of the weight out which feels great. She also colors my hair and uses great products. She's a good listener, is super talented and is the only person I trust in the Bay Area with my hair! read more

Sophia does a wonderful job with my hair color and cut.She is always professional and friendly, can flexible. I always get compliments on everything she has done, and we have great conversations and I enjoy my time in her chair. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a partner in the management of their hair color and cut. read more

Sophia+hair = magic! Hair cut, styling and coloring, she does it all so amazingly! I've had her cut my hair, color my hair and create a beautiful updo for my wedding as well. She is amazing at hearing requests and adds beautiful Sophia touch to it. Her haircut keeps the shape so nicely even when i let it grow out for way longer than ideal duration. read more

Sophia knows her way around all types of hair, but mine is curly which isn't easy for everyone. I highly recommend her!

A friend first recommended Sophia to me 3 years ago when I had just moved to SF and was looking for someone to cut my curly/wavy/unruly hair, and I felt like I'd hit the jackpot!! I've been happy with every cut I've gotten from her since -- she's always happy to take my initial thoughts for length and shape and improve/modify them for what she thinks would best, and the result is always fantastic! read more

I can't say enough about how much I loved my new hair by Sophia! She knew exactly how to work with my fine/wavy hair and with my face shape to give me the most flattering cut. And THEN she gave me the most dope color - natural blonde hi-lites with fresh bright blue accents. Plus, she is funny and charming to hang out with, and we listened to fun tunes so the time just flew by. I can't wait to come back! read more

Best human, best haircuts. I shopped around when I moved to the city. So lucky I found her. Wouldn't have trusted anyone else in my transition to short hair a few years later. Nuf said! read more

Sophia is a talented and creative stylist and colorist who will make your hair dreams come true!

Curly hair expert! Sophia understands all the nuances of curly hair whether she is cutting/styling and/or coloring it. I am posting this for a friend who has a disability that makes posting difficult. She wants everyone with curly hair to go to Sophia. No more regretful tears or looking like a bubble-mushroom-head or waiting for it to grow back again. Sophia is also an expert with henna. You can truly trust Sophia to make you look fabulous! Equally important, she is a wonderful, compassionate, and witty woman who understands and easily accommodates my friend's disability. read more
