I could not be happier with my cut and color! I dye my hair at home, the color was so uneven, brassy and dull. Without using bleach, Linda gave me the most beautiful color with highlights. I also got a great haircut with layers I love! She is honest, knowledgeable, highly skilled and kind. Her prices are also very fair for the Marina and S.F. in general. Do yourself a favor and trust Linda! Trusting her with my hair is one the best things I've ever done for myself. read more

Linda does a fantastic job at an incredibly fair price. I am so happy to have found a place to get a consistent haircut with someone I trust. I have also brought my son to get his first hair cut here and Linda was patient while working with an 8 month old. She keeps a clean shop and has a friendly disposition. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a new place to get a cut. read more

Went for a trim for my pixie cut and she did the sides and back, but not the top which is imbalanced. I had product in my hair, I told her this when I arrived and she used a water spray bottle during the trim. She seemed offended when I asked for a rinse, as my hair really needed it, and she acquiesced. She then towel dried my hair, seated her next customer and did not comb or style my hair (I didn't ask for products) and charged me $75.00 b/c she used scissors. I've never had to request a rinse, and I've certainly never left anywhere without styling or combing. Now I know-can't recommend. read more

Linda was friendly, salon clean, nice neighborhood, she was knowledgeable. Made sure I was happy- I will be back for sure

Linda did a great job, was quick, efficient and asked great questions as to how I like my hair.

Linda has been styling my hair for more than six years. I appreciate her pleasant personality and attention to detail. She's very good at making the most of my thinning hair. Linda is the best! read more

Over promised and under delivered. Made an appointment that they could not fulfill. Waited on the couches. 10 minutes past my appointment I asked if they could squeeze me in and the woman said "we're ready now". Then she asked the other barber when she would be ready and said she'd need at least another 10 minutes. Perfect punctuality is not required but promising an appointment and then making guests wait at least 25 minutes to be served despite having an appointment is disappointing. read more

Best spot for a hair cut in the city! After a year of searching for a consistent spot, Union Cuts was the answer the entire time. Linda is so kind, sweet, and incredibly talented. I refuse to let anyone in this city touch my hair besides her. She is truly the best in the city. Couldn't recommend this spot enough! read more

Ok I don't feel good giving one star or even two because Linda is really nice and yes, everything said is true about her. Clean shop and great location. There's even a candy dish and magazines. I had a really great experience my first time in August. I went in for a trim to test things out with a new place. It was great. I felt good. I was overdue for a haircut and went in last week. I made an appointment because she is pretty busy. With that said, I told her exactly what I hoped for. I wanted to keep the length. I just wanted a little off the ends and some layers to even it out around the sides. Leave my bangs. She heard me. I felt she listened. Age kept cutting. Shorter, and shorter and crimping it up to curl. I specifically said no curl. She showed me a product I could buy on Amazon to help with curl. But I don't want curl. I repeated no curl. So I paid went home and now am so sad that my hair I've been growing out is should length and too short. I really was feeling good I had a local place to go and now I'm just uncertain. read more

Lynda was amazing, she took her time and gave me an amazing cut! The salon is very clean and in a great location, I will return!

I've been a long time fan of another haircut joint in Cow Hollow for years (10 years!) and that's mainly due to Linda Gao who's been my hair stylist for that duration. So it was a huge surprise to hear that Linda has officially opened her own place on Union street called Union Cuts! I was incredibly excited to be one of the first visitors here :) Walking up to the place, I immediately notice its convenience in location. On the corner of Union and Laguna, this place sit as neighbors to Cow Hollow staples as Starbucks and The Bus Stop bar. I also enjoy this location more than my former hair place as parking is much more convenient. I've never had trouble finding a metered parking spot so that's a plus! Walking into the place, it's spacious and very clean! There's a comfortable seating area with couch and place to hang your coats up. Each hair station is big, clean and feels inviting. While this place is still ramping up, seems to have space for a large team of hair stylists! I think Linda did an exceptional job with decor and furniture, making this salon a competing business to other salons in the immediate area. When it comes to quality of hair, I think that's always relative to the person getting a cut, as we all have our own preferences. For me, there's a reason why I make the trek from Potrero Hill to Cow Hollow for a haircut. Linda is hands down the best stylist I've had. She's truly a master of her craft. And while I haven't met the rest of her stylists yet, I'm confident that Linda will attract other masters of the craft. Lastly, I also know that Linda has a HUGE following of folks over the years. Sitting in the waiting room, it's apparent that many of her long time followers have also switched hair locations as a result of Linda's work. For a cut, it'll run you $40 + tip. I think that's absolutely reasonable given the quality of work! If you're in the area and need a cut, I invite you come try Union Cuts, and see for yourself. I'll make a prediction that you will NOT be disappointed! read more

If you are looking for a new salon, or are a loyal customer of Linda's, do yourself a favor and give it a try. Linda has been cutting my hair for close to 10 years now. She is meticulous with every detail, which is why I keep coming back even though I've long moved out of the Marina/Cow Hollow area. She is absolutely worth the trek across town. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would! read more

I've been going to Linda for 5+ years and have been recommending her to all of my friends. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else at this point. I live nearby, but if I lived far, I'd make the drive! She's been cutting hair for 20+ years and is a true expert. read more

I recently moved to the city from the South Bay, and I am glad that I have officially found my new home salon. Linda has patience, understands your needs, and she is such a sweet lady! I knew I wanted a bob haircut with layers, but I wasn't sure about the desired texture, look, and other specifics. She presented me with options, and while I remained unsure, she did what was best, resulting in a perfect outcome. After just one day of my haircut, I have received compliments, to the point where my partner now wants a haircut from her too! Currently, it's just her, so it's best to make an appointment rather than a walk-in. I definitely will be back in the next few weeks for a color root and toner touch-up, and more future haircuts! I can see why her loyal customers come back to her, they trust Linda's skills! read more

I was looking for a hair stylist who knows how to work with my hair texture - fine with heavy volume. My hairdresser located in the Union Square area was great but his hours were cut back and it was difficult to schedule appointments. I read the great reviews on Yelp about Union Cuts and decided to try it out. Linda did a fantastic job cutting my hair. She first consulted with me about the hair style and length I was looking for. I showed her examples of the hairstyle I found online. I was aware the results would not be identical to the photo since everyone's hair texture and volume is different. After my cut, I was pleasantly surprised that Linda was able to cut my hair very similar to the one in the photo. Four months later I decided to try Linda again. I showed her photos of the hairstyle and discussed the hair length. She was careful to not cut my hair shorter than I wanted, and even confirmed with me before proceeding. My haircut turned out great. It really helps to show the hairstylist photos of the hairstyle of what you are looking for. Also want to mention that Linda is friendly and easy to work with. I will be going back to Union Cuts. read more
