    Bleach fix color and cut by Zie
    Kori O.

    I absolutely love every cut I've had here! Zie is the best. She is an amazing person and gives the best haircuts. I'm so lucky to have found her. I've also received one full bleach and color treatment by her and she did an amazing job. I got compliments on my hair for weeks. I normally color my hair at home to save money but it's never looked as good as when Zie did it. Amazing artistry and expertise!

    I just love Spunk Salon. I met Lisette when she was at a previous salon and followed her here. I'm so happy she moved because this is a really special place. Even in SF, even in the Castro, I can't think of many other places that feel so joyfully welcoming, inclusive, and warm. The owner has also cut my hair and she's awesome, and so is her adorable dog. The space is open and vibrant, the music always rules, and people stop by to say hi. And the stylists here are awesome people who always make me look and feel exceptional and who have really helped educate me about better hair care and styling at home. Prices are super reasonable, especially for the very high quality of the cuts. Lisette and Spunk have really helped me find my "look" and I'm always all grins when I leave. I used to spend time looking for photos online and figuring out how to describe what I wanted when I went in for a cut - here, they seem to know even better than I do what I'll want, and the advice they've given me makes my hair look better all the time. So grateful for places like this! Spunk makes me feel gorgeous and I love them for it.

    Best hair color job ever.

    Being transgender can be an utter nightmare at times, particularly when you wade into the murky, overly gendered waters of hair styling. Far too often, you're clocked as a specific gender (and, often, the wrong one) before you even open your mouth - and at that point it doesn't matter what you say, because why would a "guy" want a femme cut? Like I said, nightmare. But Spunk? Spunk is fuckin fantastic. From the first time I set my foot in the door and had my hair cut by Brandon, I felt seen and affirmed. My hair also looked awesome. Getting a dye-job with Shannon made me see myself in a while new light...and cry a little, thanks estrogen. Yeah, it's more expensive than a cheep mall place, but it is so, so, so worth it. I do t say this often, but trans/non binary/genderqueer fam? You're safe here - and you'll look beautiful.

    Shannon and Susie are the bomb. Really care about color! Great vibe, easy scheduling Great clients, always fun conversations with others.

    Not only did they give my son a FABULOUS cut, I even spoke with our stylist later so that he could give me tips on how to find a stylist in our area (Texas) to replicate the haircut. Now THAT is customer service. Highly recommend this salon, just wish they were closer.

Hector totally got it and did an amazing job. The thing that impressed me most is I wanted highlights without bleaching my hair, and he made it happen. Every other place said I had to bleach it. The salon is super clean, bright, and has a great vibe. Everyone there is really kind and helpful. Yeah, I had to wait for an appointment and send pics beforehand, but it was 100% worth it. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a great stylist!

I was asked to send photos of my hair and then told that Hector is booked out for months. It would have been better to be upfront about that from the start instead of feeling like I was being screened as a new client. A friend of mine has seen Hector for years and recommended him, which is why I wanted to try. I initially hoped to see another stylist at the salon, but soon learned that that team member is no longer there. If the salon updates its information and availability, it would help set expectations for future clients.

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!!

I wanted to try out short hair with bangs! It was kind of a shock when I saw the final result, but I ended up really loving what she did with my hair. It felt so light afterwards! She understood what I had wanted just from a few words/photos, and even taught me how to cut/style my hair by myself if I wanted to recreate the look. The hair wash/massage was relaxing and felt real nice as well. Highly recommend Yumiko and will be coming back for sure! :)

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!
