Sheila is a hair goddess! She gives me the most flattering haircuts that keep my hair healthy and stylish, and is a true artist. As a DJ she has given me so many unique and editorial looks including creative updos with extensions and braids, investing time and care to make sure they look amazing the whole night I play. She has truly elevated my confidence and personal brand, and makes every appointment so enjoyable. She is extremely dedicated to her craft and I cannot recommend her enough.

For a few years now, after some hair disasters, I've been ONLY letting Gabrielle cut my hair. I had a horrible experience with a stylist giving me a shag cut instead of my requested curtain bangs, then I had extensions that pulled my hair out and thinned it dramatically. I was devastated. But then Gabrielle gave me a super cute, dimensional bob that matched my vibe and face shape so perfectly. That was over 2 years ago, and I've been going to her ever since. She is an extremely skilled artist! Always makes me smile for days after my visit, and feel so confident while growing out my hair. 12/10 Attached is photo of after the first time I went to see her for a cut Never thought I could love my hair that much

Just got a great haircut from Sheila and she's a fantastic stylist. Very pleasant and professional. The cut included a pre wash and followup rinse afterwards . Took about an hour total. Well worth it and I'd recommend her for sure. Very pleased with the detail and look forward to future visits.

blended buttery blonde highlights by Katherine

Katherine is far and away the best colorist I've ever had and I've had some excellent ones! She listened to my goals and concerns and came up with a game plan to grey blend using a demi permanent on my roots with a full highlighting. The end result was a shiny, bright and blended buttery blonde! My hair looks and feels great thanks to Katherine's exceptional skills.

Extremely disappointing experience yesterday! Left feeling ripped off which is not what you would expect from a so called reputable salon. I came to get Balayage/ Highlights to lighten my hair that was darkened in a previous appointment (by same hairdresser back in Jan) - the color does not suit me. I ended up yesterday being given super patchy black/brown roots and no difference to the color on the lengths of my actual hair. I was suspicious when drying my hair, the stylist kept remarking how great it looked and said that putting curling tongs through my hair was going to enhance the look. I could not see any difference beside these super darks patches by my roots that do not blend. As you can see in the photos, my hair looks absolutely fried by the curling tongs which is the last thing anyone needs after a color appointment. After speaking to my stylist after my hair was completed and bringing up how the color was not what I wanted, I was told that it would show up more in natural light. That the dark patchy routes were because of all my grays hanging onto the color. She made me feel ugly and that my grays were a serious problem, instead of addressing my concerns. I'm 33 years old and do not have a problem with grey hairs. It was bizarre and came across as a very personal comment that was intended to hurt my feelings. I left the salon feeling like an idiot for opening my mouth, gaslighted and there was no offer to put it right other than spending another $420. This was such an upsetting experience and I do not recommend this salon. Thank you for ruining my hair and making me feel ashamed about myself.

Update: I find out on yelp after leaving a review that there is a fraudulent site - the business owner did not reach out to me directly. Instead, the salon texted me that there is a scam, no specifics and no support. When this happens, I believe it is a business's responsibility to warn their customer base proactively. For new and long time clients, how might businesses better support? It's a scary thing to go through and even more so when receiving no help nor any empathy in the process. I hate to leave a poor review, but I have to following a concerning experience and want to warn others if it happens to you. First - can't recommend Zoe enough! I've been coming to her for Keratin for a couple years. I just had a daughter in July and Keratin has been amazing for me! Zoe is a pro - so accommodating and gets it done in under two hours. The results last for 3-4 months. I booked a Keratin appointment beginning of March and was charged directly. That was surprising because spoke and weal usually holds the card and doesn't charge it - I didn't think anything of it at first. I got an email asking to confirm my appointment yesterday and called the salon as I was running a bit late today. But they didn't have a record of my appointment, nor the payment. Apparently both the email and the charge were fraudulent. How did this happen? I've received pushback and no explanation. My records show me that I went through their site to book. Now I'm left with a 350 dollar charge and no understanding about what happened. The salon is great and has good people, but they haven't supported a long time client after this happened. The fact that this kind of fraud can happen from an online reservation starting from their site worries me. Did someone spoof their site? Did someone create a similar site? No idea, but it sure isn't the client's responsibility if this happens. Watch out and if you're booking with them, call directly.

I have been going to Alexander for 4 years now and he's an absolute BEST. I learned that I would never cheat on him, as he always made sure I felt confident before exiting the building. He's a major vibe with good energy, which makes the experience so much more meaningful to me. Also, Alexander is very accommodating to my disability which is deafness, as he always lets me know what he's doing with my hair and guides the process. I recently went to him back in August for a sidebang look and he rocked it. I recommend this place as this salon is full of talented people and always ensures you have a good experience. Can't wait for more future appointments!

Just got perfect cut from Alin. I have super straight hair and I've had the hardest time finding someone that can add dimension without making it look choppy. When I sat down Alin talked with me to get to know my hair and get a sense for what I like. He made some suggestions that work for my hair and also frame my face well which were totally in line with what I was looking for. I've been looking forever for this in SF and have struggled to find it! Alin also gave an amazing shampoo and head massage that made me feel like I was in a spa. He's a super down to earth, warm & friendly guy. Overall the vibe of the place is high end while also being warm and friendly. I'm really happy to have found this place!

My very first color treatment - highlights!

Hair Color Virgin?!??! YES I had VIRGIN HAIRR! Came here for a color appointment with Abram this week and I truly had a great experience. As someone doesn't usually do a lot of "maintenance" only my hair, nails or body, I was immediately comforted by how professional the salon staff are and how clean it was! It was my first color treatment EVER and I came with pictures and expressed my nerves to Abram. He was SO nice, super professional and was able to empathize with me while understand what I wanted. I wanted a very subtle change because my hair is already brown instead of jet black and he gave me exactly what I wanted. Super subtle color to add more depth to my coloring but only incrementally changing it since i know it will lighten over time. I was very happy with my results and after getting the shampoo, dry, and slight wave, i could see more depth. Talk about instant gratification- the entire appointment only took 90 minutes! I will see how the color grows out over time and hope to be back to Abram for all my coloring needs!

Sometimes you find a stylist that really understands the vision and trajectory of your style. This person for me is Alexander. His cuts for me are always versatile, serving up several looks with just one cut. I respect that he works with my hair's natural tendencies (hello cowlicks); he starts with dry hair and refines it after it's been washed, since my hair is textured. He is artistic in his methods, pays close attention to detail, and is always present and engaged. These photos are from my latest cut with Alexander. I feel like an edgy Hollywood starlet: modern & romantic. I've been getting cuts from Alexander for several years now: each one different and unique. I like that we both have fun with hair! The passion is clear. The best part: he always sends me gorgeous photos and creative videos that he edits. I always use these to show off my new look. BOOK HIM while you can!

My friend had been raving about Spoke & Weal so I asked if she can make an appointment for me the next time she was going. This was in November. I'm going gray and I wanted to get them blended with my black hair. She made my appointment with Zoe, which she described as a miracle worker. And she really is! She explained how the dye would naturally fade so to gray roots wouldn't look so harsh as my hair grows. I forgot how long it took because I was having a nice time with my friend, and also was super relaxed after getting my hair washed and brushed. But my hair looked fantastic! And I looked refreshed. My hair color looked natural, not like what you get with boxed dye where you can tell someone just did it. And Zoe was spot on as my hair grew and the dye faded. It looked blended and it gave my hair some dimension. But now that my roots have grown to about an inch (which she predicted it would by this month), I've made an appointment for another hair dye and for a haircut. The vibes are fun, cool, and approachable. For someone like me who has usually gone to Asian mom-and -pop salons (because I feel more comfortable as the stylists there are more knowledgeable of Asian hair), going to a salon like Spoke & Weal was intimidating at first. But everyone there was so nice and welcoming. And seeing Zoe do her magic and hearing how knowledgeable she is made me at ease. This salon is more on the expensive side, especially if this economy is hitting you hard. I am fortunate that I'm at a place where I can treat myself to a nice salon experience. I also like my hair long, so I don't get it cut often. Parking here can be difficult so make time for that before your appointment. And check for any events happening in FiDi and Chinatown to determine how bad parking will be. Otherwise, take public transit if you can. read more

I went to Spoke & Weal for the first time and booked with Sheila -- and honestly, she's a gem. I've struggled for YEARS trying to figure out a hairstyle that actually suits me and is easy to maintain, and she somehow cracked the code in one appointment. Sheila is super cool, creative, and actually listens. She walked me through what would work best for my face shape, my hair texture, and my lifestyle, and gave me tips and ideas I've never heard from any stylist before. She's receptive, thoughtful, and you can tell she genuinely cares about getting it right. Plus... she served me an espresso. An espresso! The vibes were immaculate -- clean, stylish, chill energy all around. read more

I'm a blonde Latina with naturally THICK, dark, hair! When I moved to SF from Mexico City, I was worried I wouldn't find anyone to keep my balyage nice and bright, but after a thorough investigation and reddit search, I found Matty! Before making my appointment, I scheduled a consultation to make sure we were on the same page and the rest is history! Lol I went in for an appointment a week after my consult and he touched up my roots, made me slightly darker, and toned my hair all in 2.5 hours. I was impressed! My root touchups have always taken 4-6 hours, so this was impressive. I loved his work and would def recommend. I think I paid about 450 after tip and he gave me a few k18 samples! I'll be back soon! read more

I used to go to the one in LA but have since moved glad to see them in other cities makes finding my color profile a lot easier. The great thing about this salon is the training each stylist goes through I like how passionate each member is about the service they provide and overall the ingredients in their color products and treatments makes a difference on how healthy my hair feels after.

Recently I really wanted to change up my hair since it's been feeling dull. I've never had my hair done in SF (I grew up in the Bay Area & would usually drive back to my hometown to get my hair done) so I started asking around for recommendations. My roommate recently got her hair done at Spoke & Weal with Zoe and loved the results. The salon itself was very clean, inviting and bright. I loved that upon arrival Zoe sat and had a consultation with me about what I was looking to do, what would work with my specific hair, and then how to maintain it in the future. I think out of all the times I've been to a hair salon this is the first time where I left feeling very educated about my hair! I really love that Zoe set up a plan with my hair to achieve the end results I want. I left with my hair feeling healthier, brighter and with more dimension. I'm excited to see how this color and style grows out and for what's to come with my future appointments! read more

I was a little scared after reading about the dry cuts. So scared I made sure to go in with 3 day unwashed hair. But to my surprise the process was great. Alexander was incredible. He went over my photos, walked me through the whole process. He did wash my hair, dry my hair and then begin cutting. It was a lil strange because I never seen anyone cut hair like this before but IT WORKED. My hair came out incredible and they offer a free bang trim in between cuts. I'll definitely be going back! read more

Can't rate my experience here with Bee (Color Specialist) and Alexander (Stylist) highly enough! I've been a cool bleach blond for years, but the pandemic left me with serious roots and an unfortunate salon visit elsewhere prior the the pandemic, left me with very uneven hair. Bee spent hours getting everything picture perfect and is a fabulous communicator, in addition to her meticulous color skills and warm presence. Alexander took the time to listen to what I was open to in terms of a cut, while also working with my hair's natural tendencies and current condition (baby fine, wavy, and uneven from my last ordeal). He also went through different styling techniques. You can't go wrong with these two! Professional, good listeners, and detail oriented; highly recommend! read more

I've visited so many salons in SF and LA and never felt terribly satisfied with my experience...that is, until my haircut last month with Gabrielle at Spoke & Weal. I have wavy hair and weird bangs, and had given myself some bad self cuts over the last few months. I needed help! I really appreciated how Gabrielle took some time to talk about my hair with me - my routine/maintenance, my past cuts, what I was looking for - before helping make a recommendation/plan for me. The in-salon experience overall was awesome, I love their dry cutting method, and Gabrielle recommended some Aveda products which I'm obsessed with. But most importantly, I am loving life with my new cut!! It's so easy to manage, and I really feel like she worked with my texture so all my curls seem to always look their best. While I may have walked out of a salon with a better looking temporary "hair style", as far as having a cut that I love, that looks great always and that I can manage on my own, I couldn't be more delighted. Thanks! read more

Love what Alexander did with our manes. Myself, and 3 daughters. Alexander did wonders with my daughter's wavy texture which was perfect for the latest shag trend. Very thoughtful from beginning to end. Dry cutting technique so be prepared, have you locks somewhat styled to give a good impression. Don't worry, wash and style after. It's the way of the Spoke and Weal. I also like that Alexander concentrates on the client's hair. Nothing but focus. Just watch the hairdryer, can get a little hot in one spot. :) read more

Abram Cortez my colorist at Spoke & Weal transformed my hair and actually got me to love my hair after giving me a Keratin treatment. I am Latina so my hair is medium to long and ALOT of it, so blowing it out is a chore I've always hated. Abram assured me that once I did a Keratin treatment, my hair would be much easier to dry and style. Abram has done so well at giving me lasting color on my grays and he does an amazing job on my highlights, that I figured I better take his advice and give Keratin a shot. OMG Abram was so right! My hair feels healthier, is way more manageable, my color and highlights shine more. Now I will always incorporate a Keratin treatment into my hair maintenance. Honestly, having a Keratin treatment makes me feel like I am more than half way ready, and can just walk out the door. My hair looks good, and really these days, that's all that really matters ;). Thanks Abram you made me love my hair . read more

I had my haircut from Alexander for the first time, and was very happy with how it turned out. He suggested a few changes and among the other things, said he was going for a softer look, a bit hip/modern and fuller on the top. I don't think I was completely sure what it meant but I felt comfortable trusting the process. I realized dry cuttting made it easy to see the progress, unlike wet cutting which definitely keeps me on edge much more. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall look, it looked modern, clean and fresh. I breathed new life into me. My husband's validation sealed the deal, he hasn't stopped commenting on how good I look since I have been home. He said he now has an upgraded wife :), I am a happy customer. Thank you Alexander! read more

It is very unfortunate that this salon doesn't take care of its customers. I parked across the street and told the stylist Kelly Ann where I had parked and that I was concerned about staying longer for the haircut she recommended because of parking. We talked about it for several minutes and she didn't tell me they towed after a certain time even though she knew they towed at 3p on that street every day! Have no idea why she didn't warn me to move my car. I pointed to exactly where it was parked right in front of the salon. When I left the salon it was 4p and the car was gone. It cost me over $800 to pick it from the tow lot and took an extra 2 hours. I missed my dinner reservation. Kelly Ann knew exactly what time it was as she was monitoring my hair and services. It would have been very easy for her to look out for me and give a warning about the towing. All the manager said was "it's not our responsibility". Kelly Ann convinced me to do this up charge haircut (which turned out badly) and not how I like it to be styled. The color also turned out cool toned with missing highlights in the back and it was supposed to be a butter blonde. I am not happy with the result of the service and a terrible experience. Never been to a salon before that doesn't help customers with parking. It's also just common sense and common decency to warn your customers if the street in front of your salon regularly tows cars in the afternoon. Especially since we were literally having a conversation about parking and that I was concerned about the service running too long beyond what I paid in the meter. Do not recommend going to this salon! read more

Recently, I moved to SF and need to find someone who can cut and color my hair. I choose Spoke and Weal because of the following reasons: good reviews, it is an Aveda salon, and it is in my neighborhood - a nice plus so I can walk! I am a loyal customer when I can find a stylist who can cut my hair. I had been going to the same stylist for over 20 years. Needless to say, she knew my hair and how it behaves (or doesn't as the case may be). I went in to Spoke and Weal just planning to get a cut because that is what is most important to me. I need a cut I can maintain and style easily. I took photos with me so Christie, the stylist, could see what I thought might work. I am not good at explaining my hair so pictures are a good way to start the conversation, but I need the stylist to help me figure out what my hair will and won't do. Christie said she would dry cut my hair, then wash it, then cut again, then style. While she was dry cutting I asked about color. That may have been a mistake, because after the dry cut was done I got passed around. Melanie, a colorist, came in a few minutes into my haircut and had time to do my color, which it needed. She listened to me and did a good job. I think it could have a bit more blond, but I am happy with the result and think it will grow out nicely. Since Melanie took over coloring, Christie didn't finish what she said she was going to do, which was make any adjustments to my cut after it was washed. She also had an assistant style my hair. How is she supposed to learn my hair if she doesn't style it? While I think it is a good cut, I think it is an Aveda cut that all stylists learn and it doesn't seem to work well for my type hair. I bought the products they recommended but have been having a hard time trying to style it. I even went back in to ask about more product because I was having such a hard time with frizz. I will try Spoke and Weal one more time to see if I can get a cut that will work for my hair, but was disappointed in my first experience. read more

I once had a hair horror experience that I thought was a lost cause. After a DIY bleach job went terribly wrong, my hair was a dry, patchy mess that made me want to hide under a hat forever. I was honestly terrified to go to a salon, worried they'd give up on me or make things worse. But then I found Spoke & Weal, and from the moment I walked in, their team put me at ease. They took the time to assess the damage, explain exactly what needed to be done, and crafted a recovery plan tailored just for me. The transformation was incredible! Not only did they restore my hair's health, but they gave me a fresh, modern cut and color that made me fall in love with my hair all over again. Their skill and genuine care truly saved me from a hair nightmare. If you ever find yourself in a hair horror story, trust Spoke & Weal to bring your hair and your confidence back to life. read more

This was only my second time getting a full-out salon haircut, and I'm so grateful for Danny's craft and care. (My first salon experience nearly a decade ago was not as great ) Danny asked me thoughtful questions about what I was looking for, and was very collaborative in helping me figure out something I'd like + be able to work with daily. As for the cut itself, I thought Danny did an amazing job with adding texture and thinning out my bulkier ends. I thought I'd miss all the hair we cut off, but I'm thrilled with what Danny created! And I'm so grateful that Code will be sending those locks to an organization that supports children with cancer. Thank you Danny and team for such a great experience! read more

This is a review of Nicole - anyone looking to get a great cut by a stylist who really listens to you and knows what she is doing, should ask to see Nicole! It all started with her being very professional, yet easy to get along with. We chatted the whole time and she's such a nice woman. I asked for her to layer my hair but make the cut manageable and easy for me to tend to at home - and ever since I left the salon my hair still looks (almost) as great as when she styled it herself. Of course, not as great because I don't have her skills! The salon is really comfy too, and the receptionist was very sweet and attentive as well. Would highly recommend Nicole and Spoke & Weal! read more

Class act with a strong sense of neighborliness. They took excellent, kind, caring, generous PRO BONO care of my dear friend who is undergoing treatments. I called Liz - the manager- to thank the team and settle my friend's bill. "No, No, No" insisted Liz, "we're part of the community". Great people, great karma and a great haircut. This team rocks! read more

I visited about a month ago and looking forward to coming back to refresh my cut and buy some Aveda shampoo. My stylist was very pleasant knowlegeable, and she had a cute puppy at the salon who was just chill. Great atmosphere, chic design, quality cuts and product. read more

Sheila delivers the most consistent and high quality haircut I ever experienced after many years searching for a high quality haircut in the Financial District and North Beach. Strongly recommend making an appointment to see the difference. read more
