This is my third time booking and appointment for a full-on bleach, coloring, and haircut. Sho custom blends the colors he uses on my hair and the end result impresses me every time. He's also courteous and fun to chat with. I always come in with a bunch of questions on what would look good, and he's always right on how colors will turn out on my hair.

Ashley is amazing. First session with her. We spent time talking about my hair goals and what I wanted out of the session. Even for a tone- she spent an incredible amount of time paying attention to the details of my needs and my hair and what it could do. Can't wait to see her again.

Natalia was amazing! She was so personable and great to talk to which made the whole thing fun. Best of all my hair looks absolutely incredible! I’ve been dyeing it myself for a while, so she helped me fix the damage by recommending a treatment, cut, and highlights. My hair looks SO much healthier, so much more professional, and generally so, so much better. My confidence has never been higher! Thank you, Natalia!

Came in for a cut and Drew did an amazing job! I have very long/thick hair and most stylists never get the type of layers I want right, but Drew did it 10/10!

Erika was absolutely AMAZING! Hands down the best hair cut/balayage experience I have ever had. I came in having a completely botched hair cut and color from another salon in the area and she new exactly what to do to fix it. I feel so confident and happy again about my hair. Erika is fantastic and so kind. I love this salon and it was worth every penny! Great prices as well.

I found this salon through google maps. I had a trim haircut and toning. The place is clean and cute. Sho is kind, friendly, and polite. He even recommended some good food places to try and it did not disappoint! I wish I could bring him to Illinois. I would love to have him do my hair again when I visit SF.

Thank you Lia! She helped me so much. I dyed my hair a bunch - poorly - during the pandemic, and she not only brought my color back to life but also gave me a great cut and was fun to chat with.

Sho is a great stylist for guys as well as girls. He really cuts my hair so that it best fits the shape of my head specifically. Nothing is out of place after his haircuts.

My hair was so dry and undernourished with some curly texture that I’d been avoiding dealing with. Lia made my hair soft, gave me movement and texture, and made me so happy!! Couldn’t recommend enough!

Kerrin, the owner, did a fabulous job giving me a haircut! It was my first haircut since last July. She listened to exactly what I wanted and made me feel like $1M. Couldn't be happier and I'm glad I found a new hairdresser I can trust :)

Sho is a talented and very gentle artist who will take your vision for what you want your hair to look like and take it to the next level. He is a great colorist AND gives the best haircuts. I almost don't want to recommend his studio so I can keep it to myself =)

Hair Colouring FAQs
Having your hair colored by a professional colorist should cost around $175.
Anything from 2-8 hours depending on what you’re having done and the condition, length, and natural color of your hair.
Your complexion, eye color, and your personal style. Some hair colors can make your skin look dull, so choose a shade that will complement your skin tone. Consider your eyes, too. Many stylists contrast hair shades with eye color to maximise the effect. And think about your style, too. Do you want to be noticed, or blend in? Whatever shade you choose, make sure it’ll make you feel comfortable and confident.
Yes. Both chemical and natural hair dyes can affect the proteins and lipids in your hair, damaging the hair shaft and making it prone to breakage and loss. However, there are plenty of hair-health tips to help you keep your dyed locks looking rich and luscious.
Yes, but you should wait for a few weeks after initially dying your hair before you dye it again. If you want to lighten your previously dyed hair, either use a ‘lifter’ to help clear your hair of color or wait 8-10 weeks before redying. Lifters are invasive and can cause damage and thinning, so we advise getting this done at a salon.
Before you aim that bottle of color towards your scalp, you’ll need to carry out a skin test - it’ll help determine if you’re going to have any allergic reaction to your dye. You’ll need to do this at least 48 hours before you dye your hair. If you don’t have any negative reactions, you’re good to go. Dye instructions will vary according to the brand and color you’re using, so be sure to follow the instructions provided in your kit. In brief, you’ll need to mix the color and developer in your kit, apply it to your dry hair starting at the root, wait for it to do its thing, rinse it out, massage in the conditioner that comes in your pack, then rinse and style your hair.
