I've been going to Zee for about 10 years now, and I can't recommend him enough. He started out doing my haircuts, and I've always appreciated how patient he is--he truly takes the time to make sure you're happy with the result before you leave his chair. About four years ago, I started seeing him for color as well. We alternate between partial and full balayage, and the results are always stunning. While he's great about showing me color samples to ensure we're on the same page, I've reached a point where I trust his professional judgment completely. He has a great eye for choosing shades that are both flattering and exactly what I'm looking for. A few things to point out; * His website makes scheduling an appointment incredibly easy and seamless. * He prefers cash or Zelle. There is a surcharge for credit cards, so keep that in mind. read more

Z Touch Salon - Before (6 months since my last partial balayage) and after (ashy full balayage, will get lighter with more washes) - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place is a joke for men's haircuts. They charge $60, but the barber here, Zee, spends about 10 minutes cutting your hair, just trims the sides, leaves pretty much everything else untouched, and calls it a day. Find somewhere else. read more

The hands down place to go for longer locks. I couldn't be happier with my cut, and a reasonable price for SF. My partner sent me with clear instructions and photos (I mean, let's be honest, she sees my hair more than i do) and Zee knocked it of of the park. read more

Needed to find a new guy to cut my curly hair. Saw good reviews for Zee, gave it a shot. He did a nice fade on the sides leaving curly texture on top with a smooth blend between. We will see how it grows out but so far so good. And he is FAST. read more

Z Touch Salon - Haircut results - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I have been coming to this salon for a year now, at the recommendation of my family members. Z and Star are excellent hairstylists & very knowledgeable about hair care and the latest hairstyling fashion trends. I fully recommend this hair salon for its excellent service. read more

I showed a reference photo of the style I wanted, but the result came out way shorter and nothing like I expected(not even close enough). Decided to get the haircut today since my birthday is coming soon and now I don't even feel confident going out or meeting people with this haircut. I've never felt sad(I'm literally holding back my tears) and frustrated over a haircut before. This is probably the worst haircut I have ever had. I wish I could turn back time and have my old hair again. Update: Zee contacted me and explained that they gave me that haircut because the one I wanted wouldn't match my face shape. I didn't know I couldn't choose the haircut I want because of my face shape. He offered me a free haircut next time, but I told him I don't feel comfortable coming back after this experience and asked for a refund instead. He agreed and then asked me to delete my review. I said I could add one more star, but I didn't want to remove the review because I wanted to keep it real. After that, he stopped replying and I still haven't received a refund. This makes me feel like he cares more about his Yelp reviews than customer satisfaction. read more

I would 100% go here again. Star was incredible!! He was so kind and made me feel comfortable the entire time. There was a language barrier because I do not speak mandarin and ai only understand bits and pieces but he used a translator that was actually very heartwarming to communicate with me. Despite the language barrier, he thoroughly explained everything to me and continually checked in via translator. I should note he does speak some english and he speaks very well. I got a haircut and a digital perm and I am in love with it. I have gotten so many compliments and I will 100% get it again. He also taught me how to style and take care of my hair since this was my first time getting a digital perm. The salon is very clean and welcoming. Everything is high quality and i witnessed at least four guests come in for haircuts and leave happy. They all spoke with the other hairdresser and I could tell the other hairdresser was very kind as well. He actually helped me at the end of my appointment to explain how to take care of my hair since he speaks both mandarin and english fluently. I cannot stare enough how thrilled I am with my service and i have and will continue to recommend this place in the future. (Side note, it's been a month now and my hair still looks great!) read more

Star did a great job with the perm and cut. The service was smooth and friendly, would definitely recommend and go back. read more

I've been with this man (Z) thru 3 relationships and the combover to longer hairstyle fad, and he always comes thru with a great cut. I live in Denver temporarily for grad school and rerouted a flight just to see him Clean hair studio, always updating equipment (new mirrors with led buttons which I assume perform magic or increase my attractiveness), and the baller gold scissors. The day this man no longer cuts hair will be a sad day read more

I found a highly-rated hair salon on short notice, but unfortunately, I didn't get a hairstyle I was satisfied with. I'll have to go to my usual salon tomorrow to have it fixed. I originally have very short hair, above the ears. I brought a photo of a male celebrity to show the style I wanted because I didn't want a feminine style, so I chose a male hairstylist. However, the stylist told me that because I am female, I needed to purchase a female haircut. I explained that I didn't want a female-style cut, but the stylist did not agree. I then asked if I could cancel the appointment. The stylist said that due to my hair length, there would be an extra charge of 15 dollars, and I agreed. The result was disappointing. There was a strange curve on the left side, and when I asked for an adjustment, it became even stranger. My hair was already too short to fix properly, so I gave up. I decided to try styling it at home with a small curling iron to achieve a cute look. Overall, the final aesthetic felt somewhat outdated. The stylist suggested that perhaps I wanted a more glamorous style. That's when I realized that although I had clearly expressed that I wanted a male-style cut and provided a male celebrity photo as reference, the stylist didn't understand my intention or preference. I believe my experience is an exception, as I noticed the salon has many loyal customers and high ratings. I hope sharing my experience can help the salon improve communication. My hairstylist was Star. read more

Z has been my go to for the past 6-7 years. He has seen me through long, short, medium, permed, wavy, all sorts of hair styles. Some that I shouldn't have tried, some that I definitely look better at. He's sure to recommend the one that fits, but will also work with you to create the vision you have. Great service read more

Been going to Z for a few years now. Won't go anywhere else. He cuts my hair the way I like it! Convient location and good hours as well!

Zee is attentive to the hair style you want. And he is soooo fast! My whole family goes to him when they need a haircut!

Z is awesome. He listens to what you are looking for and is very attentive tuvr. Fabulous hairstyling skills and the salon is an overall great experience read more

Star is the best! My husbands been going to him for a Korean perm and each time it comes out perfectly styled. Star is great at giving recommendations for what he thinks will look best! read more

I got a haircut with Star. He butchered one side of my hair, cutting a chunk of hair too short and heavy to be fringe bangs. When I questioned it during the cut, he said my previous cut was too layered and proceeded to cut the front shorter, without any attempt to blend it into the rest of the cut. At the end when I was paying, Zee (owner) suggested I could get it permed to the side and Star said I could wear it to the side with bobby pin. How can they justify having someone leave their salon with that advice after paying $85 for a haircut??? I'm going to have to go to my regular stylist to ask her to try to fix it now. read more

They are amazing stylists and very professional at their work. They know what fits their clients best and are very accommodating.

Wonderful experience getting a digital perm and haircut from Star. He is friendly, professional and detailed oriented. Salon is clean and easily accessed with good parking and public transportation. Would recommend and I will be returning read more

Z Touch Salon - Digital perm and cut - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I came in with a terrible, unblended atrocity of a balayage and Zee resurrected within 1 appointment. I have corse asian hair and no one was able to get the color and feathering done correctly until him. The 2nd time he got the color to a more natural look. My hair is healthy now and I don't go to anyone else. read more

Highly recommend Zee. He is very good and very fast. Been going to him for about 2 years.

Zee is my go-to barber! He's incredibly attentive to detail and always makes sure I leave satisfied. His communication is clear and consistent, from booking the appointment to the final touches so I always get exactly the haircut I'm looking for. read more

Had a great experience with Star! I got a root perm and hair cut. The perm instantly added volume and looks great. He was able to give me layers, which a lot of other hair stylists weren't able to do and so the back of my head looks a lot more stylish and easier to style as well. He also took the time to get my bangs exactly how I wanted them. Star also made the hairstyle really easy to maintain, without much styling. Also great service!! read more

Walking in, you are welcomed in. The place is very clean and spot-free. I really like the interior design! I get my cuts with Star. He's very friendly and excellent with his craft! When he cuts my hair, it's very detailed ensuring you leave with the hairstyle you want! I'm satisfied every-time I get my haircut from Star! read more

Zee is amazing! Been going for more than 2 years. Every cut is great, he doesn't take any short cuts. I really appreciate his attention to detail. After a cut my hair grows out and layers great! That's something I've struggled to find in barbers in the past. For ref: I get a middle part w taper read more

I came in for a curly perm and cut. I showed Star an image of what I wanted and he managed to make it even better. Was nervous at first because it was my first time here and he just completely exceeded my expectations. I will DEFINITELY be coming back here. read more

I've been going to Zee for hair services like cuts and perms since 2023 and he beats out all the barbers I've had before. It's been hard for me to find someone that knows how to cut and style asian hair for men in SF and Zee is very knowledgeable. I just show him a reference of what I want and he gets it done. read more

My usual barber in Cupertino is booked and I wanted to clean up my longer hair - booked appointment on Thurs for Sat (today) with Joanne, and they somehow re-booked with Rex which I thought whatever. Came in at 9:55am and saw Rex walking in after and took me in, so I guess I'm the first customer! Told him I just wanted to clean up my mid split 2 block med-long hair style, short on the sides and keeping the top long. He started combing my hair for a min and then the owner I think told Rex to shampoo my hair so then I got up and got ready. Idk why but the shampoo process took such a long time - longer than my usual salon. But the massage was nice. He told me to keep my hair gown on to do the shampoo which I usually take off. Overall I'm content with it. He gave me what I asked for, and didn't cut it too short. I'm glad he was able to cut my hair more after I told him I'd like it shorter and gave him a reference. The cut didn't feel 2-blocky like how my korean barber cuts but it looks fine to me. I think I'd try again and hope to give him 5 stars next time :) read more

I had my hair cut by Star. I've never had anyone actually measure carefully how to cut my hair before. Instead of taking shortcuts, Star spared no effort to use the proper tools that goes with each technique. You can tell that he is really dedicated to his craft. I am sure we can all say the same for Zee too! It was interesting to hear them debate a little about hairdryers! Both of them seem to want to keep updating their skills. Zee and Star are also extremely friendly! It feels very nice in there! The place is also very clean! read more

Been going to this place for years now and I love that Zee is super efficient. As a busy mom, I don't have time to stay at the salon for hours to get my hair colored but Zee gets it done in 2 hours or less! I'm always happy with the service. read more

It was my first time experience going to Z Touch Salon. I indeed had high hope base on all the positive reviews on Yelp. It's unfortunate that I was one of the few not too pleasant case. Please don't get me wrong, both Zee and his assistant were nice. The salon was organized and clean. There was a cut dog in the back too. It was the hair cut that led to the disappointment. My appointment started shortly after 5PM. I had my hair washed first, very detailed wash. By 5:27PM, my haircut was done. Therefore, it only took him about 15 minutes max for my hair cut. Zee cut my hair while they were wet. There was no initiative to do "check and balance" after the blow-drying was done. Cutting wet hair and dry hair make difference. This has been the essential steps in higher end salon or the one that I have been to for years. At the moment, I told myself not to judge so fast therefore, I didn't say much at the salon. He charged $80 for "long hair" when all he did was to chop off the split and dry ends. $105 including tips for this haircut is not worthy. Upon washing and blow drying my hair the next day at home, I found uneven choppy hair. Two sides of my hair had different length. I have thought of connecting with Zee about this but decided not to as I don't want my hair to be further messed up. It's great that there are so many positive reviews for this business. Thougb I had the consideration of having color service there; I am afraid tht this is not the salon for me. Update as of 09/03/2024 -- Zee reached out to me about the experience. He offered the option to make it right by going back to his salon. I shared my fear of further damage since the difference on both side is about a inch to a inch and a half if not two. Zee opted in to refund the $80 service fee and expressed the wish for me to remove the review. I kept my promise to provide an update but not removing it to keep the authenticity. read more

To preface, I've been wanting to get a haircut ASAP but every salon I've been trying to schedule with was too long of a wait. But I was happy to find Z Touch Salon and saw that they do walk ins. So I had my husband call to make sure and luckily they had availability same day! So when I arrived, there was no wait at all. Star was my hairstylist and he was amazing. I knew right away I was in good hands. The hair wash he did was very relaxing and he really took his time (did not feel like I was a rushed client at all during this visit). I came in with very long hair and it can be really difficult to untangle after a wash. But Star was fantastic with it! Usually it always feels like I'm having tug-of-war with my hair at other salons, but Star was an expert at detangling my hair and I had no scalp pain during or after! Star was very straightforward, you show him a reference picture and he was ready to go. I personally love that in a hairstylist! I don't need much conversation as long as my hair is getting cut the way I want (and if you're like me, you'll love getting your hair done with Star)! Star is a very detail-oriented hairstylist! He double checked with me multiple times asking if I liked the length and how my haircut was looking. He was also very open to making any minor adjustments when I asked. Very grateful to find such a nice and chill salon!!! Thank you so much to Star for the best haircut I've ever had!!! When I need my next haircut, I know where to go read more

Made an appointment on their website for a haircut with Z and it went well! Price was $35 without tip, which is reasonable. I never been here before but had two friends recommend it so I thought I'd try it. Z was a very friendly guy, super personable and it seems like a lot of returning customers when I was there for those 30 mins. He asked a lot of questions prior and during the cut - such as what kind of haircut, how many inches, what style of layers, etc. I can see why people come back. I recommend this place for good quality haircuts & the quick and friendly service. Parking is metered on Ocean unless you park nearby residential. There's plenty of spots! read more

I've been going to Z for 5+ years and always leave happy with my new hair. He's always professional and friendly, but definitely knows what he's doing. Highly recommend coming here to anyone who is looking for a new hairstylist. read more

I came across this business on Google 2 months back when I was looking for a hair color salon. I wanted a hair cut so I booked an appointment for a hair cut. Just to give you an idea, my hair was frizzy, fine, wavy and oily. I showed up with oily unwashed hair. Services I used were hair wash, hair cut and hair set. All I can say is I haven't had a better hair cut, like ever! I am such a happy puppy right now. Zee is so patient, professional and funny. Unlike some overly priced salon, his charges are affordable and the best part is he uses premium hair styling products. I am never going to anybody else for a hair cut Thank you Zee Ps. I wish more people write elaborated reviews, especially for small businesses like Zee's. He is really a sweetheart. Just make an appointment already read more

Been going to Zhi for years now! Post and pre pandemic, simply the best service and quality of work out there! The atmosphere is very calming and relaxing nature. Got my hair cut and dyed here multiple times, each time leaving with a smile on my face! There is simply nothing I can think of that can make each experience better. Zhi will do what's best for you and your hair health rather than making money killing your hair. I can't thank Zhi and his team enough for their wonderful services! Simply amazing! read more
