I had an absolutely AMAZING experience with Anthony. He is new to the studio from Chicago. He used to have his own hair studio in Chicago. He is wonderful. He is extremely attentive and knowledgeable. I was making a pretty big change to my hair, and was so nervous I was breaking a sweat when I walked in. I had long hair, and decided it was time to go short. Knowing how important this was to me, and how nervous I was, he took his time to cut my hair in intervals, going shorter by a bit each time until we were at a length I felt comfortable with. He did exactly what I showed him I wanted. And this is very hard to find. I love my haircut, it is PERFECT!!! He also completed a keratin treatment on my hair after the cut. My hair is still silky smooth and practically straight with air drying only!!! ...Not to mention his personality was to die for!!!!! I loved Anthony, and can't wait to go back to him! read more

Studio B - Patrick Evan Salon - My new short hair (with keratin treatment) thanks to Anthony!!! - Hair Extensions Near Me - San Francisco, California

First off, the building is beautiful inside. There was an elevator that I'm sure was ornate but I decided to take the spiral stairs. I was confused at first because it's one salon that has several different smaller businesses inside with sliding glass doors. I walked in and was offered a drink immediately. I had an appointment with Brandon and 4pm. I walked in at 4 and he was still working on the person before me. I was okay with that because he was taking his time to make sure the customer was satisfied and he only took an extra 7-10 minutes. I've been getting my hair done at a $15 place and thought that I needed to get it nicely done this time around especially since I haven't gotten my hair cut in 7ish months. First off, he took time and washed my hair was superior products than what I use. Although, I think everything has to be better than a giant tub of Costco brand shampoo and conditioner. I got side swept bangs and a little bit of layering in the front. He also did a dry cut after to make sure everything was beautiful. He also gave me great tips on how to keep my hair pretty and natural. The cut is expensive for me but it was completely worth it. He took his time and I came out with a professional looking cut. Long cuts are $80. Because I was a first time customer, Brandon's partner and business associate gave me a 20% discount. I saw 3 returning customers there during my cut. It was pretty amazing considering there were only 2 chairs and I was there for 1 1/2 hours. I will be returning. read more

Stop everything. Come here. Thank you to the gal who reviewed about being at wits end (no pun intended) with her hair and needed a cut ASAP while on a biz trip. I feel your pain and followed suit. I frequent SF from Chicago, which is probably the second best place to get a blow out from NYC, and there aren't many options here besides dry bar (bleh!). Enter Mandeep. Seriously girl? The best one I've ever had. So after a year without a cut (so much phobia about cutting my long locks), I decided to pull the trigger. I landed and called last minute to get in. Luck is hardly ever on my side but I found my hair cut soulmate with Sara. The most senior barber on their team, they were somehow able to get me in for a late appointment the next day. I will literally fly from Chicago to this location to get my hair cut, and colored. It's that good. I've never had my hair cut by the same person twice in all my life and this place has changed everything. Also: for the ladies (and sassy men working the front desk, you know who you are), your upbeat attitude, responsiveness, and warm, welcoming attitude matters. Thanks for being you. Even if Sara and Mandeep were awesome, I wouldn't come back if you sucked. It's just the way the service industry is now. Keep doing what you do. Love this place and would recommend for blow out (pricey, but hey it's SF and it's amazing), cut, and color. read more

I haven't gotten a real hair cut in over a year, and I've been box dying my hair for about the same amount of time. My hair was mid-back length, thick and I was just exhausted caring for it; never mind the fact I had to use at least 3 boxes of dye at home and it would take me hours to dye and wash my hair....! I requested an appointment via Yelp and a front desk assistant called me within a few hours, and got me in two days later for both a cut and dye with Darren! I was nervous but definitely excited. Arriving and getting checked in was very easy - front desk staff were super friendly. I waited a few minutes before Darren walked over and brought me to a chair. We discussed the type of hair cut & color I was looking for and we got right into it. The coloring didn't take too much time and I received a nice head massage when my hair was being rinsed! The results were absolutely amazing. I love the shine to my hair, the color, and the cut. It's way better than I expected and I couldn't be any happier. The pricing was also extremely reasonable for both cut & dye and the professionalism that was provided. I'm due back in about 8-10 weeks for a color touch up and can't wait! I would 100% recommend both Patrick Evan Salon and Darren! read more

3 reasons why I come back every 5 weeks: 1) Brandon knows ASIAN MEN HAIR! My hair is tricky: poofy, fast growing, and resistant to hair product. Whenever I went to someone who "understood Asian hair" they just my shaved head every 2 weeks or I ended up looking like a gender-ambigious anime character. Brandon cuts my hair so that I can still spike it, and rounds the sides so that I don't have to return for another 5 weeks, saving me money and time. His female clients look amazing as well. I've also seen some great work from Amanda, Sergei, and Damien. 2) Customer service is excellent. I found Brandon via yelp and sent him an email inquiry and within 2 hours received a thorough response. Mario is an excellent communicator when scheduling appointments and also welcomes me at my appointment with a cup of coffee. 3) The salon is well kept and clean: shiny floors, zero dust, no hairballs rolling across the floor like tumbleweeds, nice local artwork, and shockingly no notiecable smell of burning hair or ammonia thioglycolate (smell of perm and the 80's). It's these three simple things that run this great salon: passion, customer service, and cleanliness. I've been coming here for almost a year now and every time I walk out the door I want to strut like Tony Manero. read more

Overpriced horrible hair cut and an overall frustrating experience... I have mid length hair that was in bad need of getting its layers cleaned up, and with Summer here, I also wanted the back shortened a bit, simple right? So, I went on Yelp and found the most highly rated hair place near where I work and found this place. It was close by, only "moderately" expensive, and had 5 stars out of 155 reviews. How much better could I get, right? I book an appointment for later the same day, head in, and get situated. I tell the hair stylist (forget her name) what I'm in for and immediately she starts making suggestions for changing things and wants to cut my bangs higher up my face and wants to leave the back as long as it is because "it looks right". I had to say multiple times that I *only* wanted the bangs trimmed by a centimeter or two, that this was important to me, and that I wanted them to stay long. I *also* clarified with her a few times that I wanted the back pulled up a few inches because she kept insisting on keeping it long (this was *my* hair getting cut!). Long story short, after a quick shampoo and a long blow dry, she proceeds to cut my bangs almost to my ears, layers the very bottom couple of inches of the rest of my hair, and does the quickest and laziest trimming I've ever witnessed... Not being a person to cry over spilt milk, I decided just to cut my losses, since the damage was already done. The stylist says to the lady at the front, "Just a regular haircut." Lady at the front says to me, "Great! That will be $95 dollars! Would you like a receipt?" Yeah, not doing that again... read more

So, Trevor is no longer at Brandon Hair Studio, but since he did a good job last time and I liked the studio, I decided to take a chance and make an appointment with another stylist. So glad I did, because Sergei is awesome!! Not only does Sergei have a great personality, but he's also great with hair. I gave him a couple of guidelines and trusted him with the rest, and I walked out with a great haircut. I really think that this is my best haircut I've had in years. Thank you so much Sergei and Brandon Hair Studio! read more

Went here to get a cut for a wedding I was attending the next day....looked on Yelp and saw Sergei's name...A LOT! I didn't really care who I got when I arrived but was pleased to hear it was in fact Sergei...I told him what I wanted to do with my hair; he showed me his co-worker's hair for reference because he had done the same cut before. Sergei not only gave me the best haircut of my life, but made me enjoy it with the conversation and hospitality......he has a new fan now. All the ladies loved my hair BTW.... read more

Best haircut of my life! Yes, big words. But totally true. I was on a business trip and my hair was getting long and stringy. I all of a sudden got so annoyed... I took a fat RISK in going someplace new. But, I knew I could count on Yelp. I went by the reviews and then just picked someone that fit my schedule. I feel like I won the lottery because my schedule was super condensed. Natasha was awesome! She LISTENED... left my length and defined my hair and structured it so it had bounce. I love it so much that I want to go to my local stylist and tell her to mimic it! You rock Natasha. Thank you for an amazing cut. Can I import you to Charlotte? :) read more

Expert and true artist when it comes to hair. It seems like it's never his job, it's his craft. He has always listened, made great suggestions, and provided me the style I wanted and then some..... I think my gf is not to say me ..... ha ha. Now seeing a gorgeous and hot in the mirror............ His genuine kindness and thoughtful listening to what I was looking for in a haircut was really appreciated. read more

I bought a Bloomspot "Brazilian Blow-out" for Brandon Studio, and was actually on the chair when they explained that I was actually getting a "Brazilian Keratin Blow Out" which is the version that you need to refrain from washing for 48 hours. Sitting around for two days with flat dirty hair is not what I planned on, and would have appreciated this being in the fine print, at the least. It was then explained that the regular Brazilian Blow Out has formadahyde in it, as a form of excuse for the bogus buy. ** NEWSFLASH TO BLOW OUT FANATICS ** Those fumes that make your eyes water is formadahyde and ALL versions have it, Keratin, Brazilian, Japanese. If they have to wear gloves and blow fresh air in your direction you have an "aldahyde" in your midst. Check 20/20 or the label if anyone disputes this. The last real blow-out I had was great quality and had less chemicals, thus my eyes did not get irritated, but it was not free of the chemical. Don't be fooled. Beauty is pain and chemicals- just know what you are buying. Before you buy a Bloomspot or Groupon for this be sure you are getting what you want. I ended up washing mine out closer to 36 hours later and I am not as happy with the end-results. read more

Sergei saved me today. I had a crappy cut that I just couldn't live with, and I called hoping for a rescue. Sergei got me in the same day and did magic things that made me look 100% better. He has an excellent eye for shaping the cut to flatter the face and head, and he turned a really scary cut into something cute and fun. My bad cut was almost buzzed in the back (seriously- haircut trauma!) and I didn't really think there was much he could do- I was half expecting him to tell me to wait it out. But he managed to shape 1/4 inch of hair to flatter my head and neck- amazing! His sensibility is funky and artistic, so he can give your cut as much or as little edge as you like. He promised me I wouldn't look like a soccer mom and he delivered. I can't recommend him enough, plus he's new to this salon and taking new clients- get in on the ground floor because his schedule is going to fill up fast, guaranteed. PS- I almost forgot, he gave me an amazing head massage! If you come to him after a work day it is so so relaxing. read more

-Update- Trevor has just informed me that he'll be working full-time at the Patrick Evan Salon now. -End of Update- I used a Groupon for a keratin treatment with Trevor. Results first: it's been two days (just washed my hair this morning) and 1) my long hair completely dried in 30 minutes (apparently it's one of the benefits of the treatment), 2) it's straight, 3) it's smooth, 4) it's shiny and 5) it's silky! My hair is naturally really thick and wavy and I'm always wanting hair that's less bushy and more tame. This treatment went a step further and straightened my hair! It's not as straight as a Magic Straight (remember those?) because the ends of my hair are still a little wavy. It's like my hair is blow-dried! I'll have to wait and see how long this lasts but so far, I'm really pleased with the results. Trevor was fantastic. BHS has moved to a temporary location at 55 Grant Ave. and they share space with at least one other salon (Patrick Evan). It's just Brandon and Trevor right now but between the two of them, they make it work. Trevor was personable and funny and I didn't feel pressured to talk to him or to make conversation, especially when he was breathing in the fumes from the treatment. They've made the treatment a lot safer and BHS uses a special air purifier so there's a lot less toxicity and discomfort. I know some people argue about the safety of the chemicals but let me say this: if you want straighter, smoother hair and your hair is naturally curly or wavy, how else do you expect it to get straight and smooth unless you douse it in chemicals? There's no "natural" process. The great thing about keratin treatments is that they don't take long (my hair is halfway down my back and, like I said, is really thick and wavy - whole process took about 1 hour and 15 minutes). I had to wait two days to wash my hair (Trevor said technically 24 hours but 48 to be safe) but when my hair looks this great, who cares?! I'm used to the 72 hour rule for Japanese-style straightening methods so two days was a breeze. I totally plan on heading back in a few months to see if the "cumulative effect" of these treatments really holds water. Returning customers get a flat rate of $200. Will update again! Thanks Trevor! read more

Awesome experience! Brandon is very mellow and the vibe in the studio is cool but he takes the business seriously and is clearly dedicated to customer satisfaction. I made a last minute appointment and everyone there treated me great. Glass of wine when you walk in, comfortable waiting area, all cool and relaxing. I wanted some wild colors for burning man and Sergey delivered! Everyone in the salon got in on the plan and they all worked well together but Sergey hit the home run with some super creative ideas and techniques that really translated my vague idea into a super reality. The man definitely knows how to work with color. While sitting there I saw Brandon give a woman some great color. It's no wonder he has his name in the place. Also, there was a cute girl with white hair that gave a few quality men's hair cuts. Seems like a place where you can't go wrong. Lastly, the price was really reasonable for all the time they spent with me. Thanks to all - highly recommend. read more

So my anniversary with Brandon is coming up in a couple weeks, and after 2 years of being my only stylist, I owe him an impeccable review! I now have to reveal my secret about who has been making me look so great these past couple years. So to begin, true story, the first day I met Brandon and he did my hair, I went out to a bar and I got a boyfriend that same day! The review could end right here but I'm going to keep going. That same week my friends described that seeing me they felt as if they were watching the before and after results on a makeover tv show. And everyone knows the watching the "After" results are the best part. Now fast forward to today, I just got my hair done by him yesterday and today I have received 6 compliments and counting! I get the Brazilian Blowout, highlights, color and a haircut, and I don't know which one I love best. What I do know is that I can't LIVE (yes... live), without all 4 of those. Last thing, his devotion to his clients and customer service should be a precedent among all service providers. He empathizes with all his clients and their experiences, and he never wants anyone to leave without them being 100% satisfied, which has always been my experience. read more

Brandon Hair Studio makes a hair cut more than just a haircut...they make it an experience. His popular exploded at his old salon and by popular demand....he just opened up his new salon this week in San Francisco. I moved to the city a year ago...and I was in search for a great salon that was not too expensive and had a cool atmosphere.....what I found via YELPERS was this out-of-this-world stylist that was extremely well priced with a smashing atmosphere and a hairstylist that I now call "my hair savor". Brandon has been my stylist for over a year now. He used to be at this very ultra hip and popular salon in San Francisco but he blew up in popularity and become somewhat of a yelp legend there and decided to follow his calling and open up his own salon so that he would be able to give the time and care necessary to give the perfect cut each time instead of those other pushy salons that stick you in a 30 minute window and have to rush you out for the next appointment. At Brandon's salon, he makes the time to show off his talented perfectionist skills. Brandon....hair stylist god...he knows his stuff and you know it from the very first meeting. First off, don't be late for the first meeting because he likes to spend a few moments sitting down with you to evaluate what you want to do with your hair. He really listens and cares about your hair and it almost feels more like a hair consultation experience than a haircut. He has practiced with hair all over the globe and I would trust him with any of my friend's hair. Brandon is a blast to chat with...He is super friendly and makes you feel extremely welcome. He is such a good conversationalist that I actually look forward to my haircuts instead of them being just another cut O yah I almost forgot to add...you know how some Asians always complain that is so hard to find someone who knows how to cut Asian hair right.....he's got that down solid Also, if you are wondering about parking...BART and MUNI drop you off right in front of his studio, and if you are driving, park on 3rd and Stevenson behind the office depot. Stop reading this....cause you just found your next hair salon...give them a try like now and book an appointment on hisl website...you will be sold and you will wish you found this place earlier...ERIC APPROVED - 5 STARS! read more

OKAY.....A groupon junkie here, always seeking a great deal but simultaneously, quality businesses/products. As there are many women out there that have an issue with their hair taking centuries to grow out, I am one of them. So, I know it's imperative to find a fantastic, enthusiastic, talented, and EXPERIENCED hairstylist that will also be meticulous and PAY ATTENTION when they are with you. I've had a-z experiences and am a very easy-going person but learned wonderful hair stylists are artists and should be given credit when it's due.... AMANDA, YOU ARE AMAZING at your job (and were a perfect match for me :). I came in with some photos on my phone, VERY briefly scrolled through, chatted and you gave me a haircut I LOVE! It's EXACTLY the new look I was searching for. You're fun, down to earth and sweet. While there, I was greeted with such politeness and welcomed and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Brandon chat away ;) I had a wonderful time there! read more

Bought the LivingSocial deal since the salon is in the city and my hair dresser is in San Mateo. They are booked till Dec. I need to get my hair done now. What's the point of offering a deal (which isn't really a deal) if you can't handle the clientele? The receptionist kept calling me hon and after 10 mins still didn't have a time slot for me. How hard is it to look through a calendar? I am in sales- you make the sale in 30 sec or you have lost your audience. So disappointing! read more

Five stars all the way! I went for a Brazilian blowout by Brandon and it was absolutely incredible. For a girl that usually opts for a headband to restrain some out of control hair, I might just be convinced to do otherwise aka. leave it down. My hair has never been so smooth and shiny! Definitely psyched about this!!!!!! In addition to having great hair, I feel like I have a better understanding of how to take care of it. Brandon is extremely knowledgeable about hair care and is more than happy to share his 20+ years of experience with his clients. Ask him any question about hair and he'll answer it. The previous day, I went with my friend who got a haircut and asked Brandon for his honest opinion on what kind of (headband-less) hairstyles might look nice on me. He was patient and explained to me the different qualities of my hair and how I could/could not change it. Dude knows what he's talking about, for sure. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will definitely go back. Like the blowout, the company was top-quality. It was an absolute joy talking to Brandon through the two hours -- so friendly and personable. Many interesting stories and tid-bits to share. Hats off to him, Mario, and Trevor for making the salon such a welcoming and vibrant place! read more

Went here last Friday to redeem my livingsocial deal. First of all, online booking = awesome. Love the small intimate feel of the place...both guys were super nice and interacted with me and made sure I was comfortable. More importantly...love the hair! It's soft and saved me about 20 minutes getting reading this morning (extra sleep...yes please!). I'm traveling soon and I'm glad I will not have to bring along the straightener! When I need a cut (or another Brazilian Blowout, will be going back here) read more

It's a tad premature and I'll update, but just want to say, thus far, adoring my Brazilian keratin treatment (Cadiveu: which is supposedly formadehyde-free and not the same as the former Brazilian blowouts) by Trevor! Hair is super soft, straight but not pin-straight like the japanese method I've had (a lot) in the past. But it's been (ha) one washing, so we'll see how it fairs. Doesn't feel at all damaged, definitely not crazy pin straight. Hopefully it lasts a few months. Living social deal, easy to book (new customers can't book online, so called, left message, called back same day, booked within a week). Trevor is super friendly, chatty but not overly so, seems to be very knowledgeable about the product, process, and hair in general. He's young, but has been hair styling for 7 years already, moved from North Carolina, so you know, a sweet southern(ish) boy. :) Loved the head/neck massage. Process took about 2.5 hours, but I do have a lot of thick just below shoulder length hair that takes forever to blow dry. It is an odd studio, although they are looking to move. Just the two chairs back to back, which I would think would get weird, having your boss/new employee there all the time. hope it works out for them! Brandon: love trevor, keep him on! (or tell me where he goes if he leaves....) read more

Saw the deal on LivingSocial: $150 for Brazilian Blow Out (originally $300). Never tried that before and based on the good reviews on yelp about Brandon Hair Studio, I bought the deal. I called and booked the appointment after I got the voucher from LivingSocial the next day. I was so lucky to get the open spot in the next week. Brandon Hair Studio located in the heart of downtown, just across from Neiman Marcus. Very convenience location. The salon was so pretty, neat and spacious. Everyone was so friendly and sweet. Amanda was the stylist to do the blow out for me. Before she started, she explained to me the procedure and the things that I needed to do after the treatment. The whole process took two hours. After the treatment, my hair was fabulous. It has never been so smooth and shiny. read more

I get a haircut usually once a year but after coming to seeing Trevor at Brandon Hair Studio I'm getting my haircut more often! I LOVE my new hair!! I used my coupon and got the full treatment: shampoo, blowout and style. I asked for a Brigitte Bardot type cut. My hair was long, straight and blah. He gave me fabulous bangs and hacked the boring length of my back. Trevor is no junior hair stylist. He knows what he's doing! I'm coming back! read more

Just a couple months away from my 3 - year anniversary with Brandon. Couldn't ask for much more, Brandon treats people with respect, goes out of his way to accommodate difficult schedules and guarantees me a steady stream of compliments from the ladies about my dome fade. Not to mention, the shampoo, it feels like this. http://bit.ly/14dhptS Don't you ever leave, ever. read more

If you know the catch-22 of downtown hair cuts (pay $50+ at a decent salon or $15 for a barber shop butcher job) you'll know why I used to muni it out to the Castro once a month. Brandon has been saving my hair for a couple of years now and words cannot express my joy at his new studio less than a block from my office. Quality, convenience, Castro prices. Who could ask for anything more? As a bonus, he's worked for a number of years in Asia and is fantastic at taming the "white boy Asian hair" I'm often accused of having. My mop grows thick, straight and fast ... I prefer to call it my "Celt-fro" but that's a story for another time and place. read more

Brandon is fabulous!!! I was treated royally at the salon. Brandon and his assistant, Emily, made sure to fit me in for a Brazillian Blowout before leaving on vacation to Bali...he even made the appt. for Sunday since I was leaving on Monday evening. I would recommend this treatment and working with Brandon highly. My hair looks fabulous!!!!! Love Brandon!!!! read more

After a previous failed attempt to find a stylist in this new city, I was ABSOLUTELY THRILLED to find Amanda at Brandon Hair Studio. She took the time to listen to what I wanted and provide really great tips for how to maintain my look and keep it healthy as I grow it out. She wasn't pushy like some stylists who take the aggressive salesman approach on products (which I bought anyway because my hair looked so fab!), and she didn't try to rush me into booking another appointment in 4-6 weeks (since I'm growing my hair out, she encouraged me to wait as long as I can). Hands-down the best haircut I've had in San Francisco. You'll love Amanda!! read more

Stylist Trevor - Superb I was referred to Trevor last week after my stylist of 6 years moved on from her Financial District salon. I value a quality cut and a convenient location. Score on both with Trevor. The studio is an easy hop from BART/MUNI and an easy walk from anywhere in the Financial District or Union Square area. Trevor provided a warm welcome and took time to get to know what I wanted in a hair cut. After listening to my input, he washed my hair and then gave me a wonderful cut. He washed my hair a second time after the cut so that I was fully satisfied with the salon experience. I found Trevor to be well trained, professional, engaging and friendly. I will be back in 3 weeks to see Trevor for another perfect cut. read more

My best haircut!..... Every time I go there! Brandon is an expert and true artist when it comes to hair. It seems like it's never his job... it's his craft. He has always listened, made great suggestions, and provided me the style I wanted and then some. Thanks for the appointment flexibility, cool staff, and overall great experience! I love going there. read more

Bought a Bloomspot for a Brazilian Blowout (which was way overdue, see my last review on the failed Kera-Green treatment and terrible service at Oso and Miggs). Damien was my guy and he was AWESOME. They made me feel comfortable right when I walked in, no pretentious bullshit, and Damien took his time and did the job right. The salon is nice too. Clean, beautifully laid out (I guess they do art shows here too!) I can't wait to go back. I highly recommend this salon. read more

I have been seeing Brandon since he landed in San Fran a couple of years ago. When he moved from the Castro, I tried someone else who was closer but quickly realized the error of my ways. Brandon does wonders with my hair. Not only does he do a marvelous job on my hair within my "single process" spec for color, but he LOVES making people look great. Plus, as an added bonus, he is a sweetheart who is genuinely interested in me. Now that I've been to his new digs, there's no going back. He's fabulous, and a great value too. read more

Where to start. First Brandon is a sweetheart and he will go out of his way to make your experience a pleasant one. I called in on tuesday to redeem my brazilian blowout coupon and he got me in on thursday after one of his customers cancelled. He will basically come in on his day off, work until 11pm or come in at 8am to fit you in. I am 100% satisfied with my experience at BHS, my only concern is that Brandon is going to work himself to the grave...The brazilian blowout was amazing, my hair is so pretty :) ps: his assistant is hilarious and will probably call you hun 50 times in a 5 minute conversation read more

I am totally rocking my new short cut by Trevor. Thanks - I am loving it. Used my living social deal and took a chance on a new stylist. I am very glad I did! I don't get my hair cut often as it grows slower then a snail can crawl. Online booking wasn't working but I did get an appointment via email and they were able to work with my time restrictions. The studio is very close to the montgomery street bart station and is right on Market. The little pocket dog chilling in its fluffy oversized bed is pretty adorable. The building is pretty unique. The second floor is filled with these really small studios I guess artists of all kinds rent out. So don't expect some huge salon - the studio is just two chairs, a couch, and nice decor. read more

Obviously the reviews speak for themselves! Brandon is a talented and fabulous --- couldn't of asked for more in a stylist! read more

I randomly found out about Brandon Hair Studio and after seeing all the positive feedback it has on Yelp, I decided to check it out. That is the best hair salon in the city and I definitely would recommend it to anyone! (I did already actually recommend it to all my friends who've been asking me for a good hair salon.) I was extremely happy with the Brazilian blowout. It lasted three full months and the whole experience was amazing. Trevor is a cool guy and he knows what he is doing! He explained all the steps of the treatment in advance which made me feel really comfortable. I spent a couple of hours there and I had good time, because people at the salon are super friendly and nice. I will be definitely going back! read more

Earlier I posted a negative review on BHS due to a less-than-perfect experience with one of BHS's newer stylist. Within 12 hours I received an e-mail from Trevor with an apology and offered me many options to fix my hair problem. (Keep in mind, I'm from the East Coast so I couldn't just go back to the salon and have Trevor fix it on the spot) Trevor's customer service was impeccable. I am really impressive by his quick and caring respond. Although my first experience was less-than-perfect, Trevor saw my review and quickly try to resolve the issue immediately. This shows that BHS really care about their customers, customer's experience and their salon's integrity. With their high standards and exceptionally impressive customer service, I can say it with confident that they will be continuously improving their business model and soon be one of the top brand in their industry. I will be going back to BHS in the near future and I highly recommend Brandon Hair Studio. read more

Hair type: Asian straight long hair I have been a bouncing from one hair stylist to another for the past few years after my regular stylist moved back to Japan. I went to Brandon Hair Studio based on Yelp reviews and Michaelyn cut my hair exactly the way I wanted. She was careful not to take off too much. I wasn't looking for anything fancy, I just wanted a pretty straight forward, layered haircut. I'm happy with the result and I can tell Michaelyn did a great job, because it's growing out nicely and staying in shape. They gave me 20% off for being a first time customer. Nice! The location is super convenient -- right across from Neiman Marcus. I think I found a new regular stylist! FINALLY! read more

I waited to write this review because I thought it was 4 stars (sort of funky small place, and my hair was cut shorter than I wanted). But after living with the cut for a couple weeks, I have to say: 5 stars all the way! Great price, really nice stylists, and Brandon gave me a cut that I'm in love with. And tips on caring for my baby fine hair that has turned it glossy and healthy again. I'm sold. Long ago, I decided that hair wasn't something important to me because I don't have much of it, but Brandon is making me change my mind. Go here. read more

Just got a cut by Mary Alice. Love. It. First time trying out the salon. Excellent cut! Came in with a huge mop. Gave her some direction about what I liked, and told her just to make it look sexy, and bam.. she nailed it. Lovely personality, and just spot on talent. Total natural. She trained at Vidal Sassoon in London. Will *so* be back. The salon is brand spankin' new, yet totally cozy. Facility is clean as a whistle, and everyone on the staff is extremely pleasant. Thanks Mary Alice! I look good. read more

I am new to SFO and needed a good stylist.. Mission accomplished! Thank you so much Yelp! If you have not been, you need to go to Brandon Hair Studio. Brandon is amazing! He is personal, professional, talks you through everything. he takes his time, encourages your opinion and then makes your hair look beautiful. I should mention I was the last appointment of the day and there I never would have known. I never felt rushed. Brandon cut my hair, highlighted my hair, and added pink peek a boo extensions. He let me have a say in the highlight placements and extensions. I even decided that I wanted less then we had originally talked about and he was fine with it. I have had the same hair dresser for 15 years, but I am pleased to say I have made a change and Brandon is my new stylist, colourist, and extension artist. If you haven't been, you need to go. You will be pleased you did. You will also get a little discount for being a new customer. It was honestly the best hair cut and highlights I have had in years. Thank you Brandon! I love my hair again! read more
