Great Work but improve the attitude

by bioeve at Citysearch

Annette came out to our hotel for my wedding and transformed us into models! So I give a four star on a quality job. I really loved my hair and make up for my wedding! However, Annette has a pretty cool personality most of the time but can say things a little abrupt. For this reason I had to put a four star rating. For the record her partner/assistant was very nice. So watch how you say things and you can double your business.

• Pros: Great work!
• Cons: Poor attitude!

You will love your hair :)

I have been going to Annette for a year now.. and I can't say anything but great things about Annette and Lavish. Her new salon is beautiful, conveniently located on Lombard street, and I am always happy with my hair color and cut. Annette knows all her clients very well and is so personable and friendly! She uses the best products and my hair color always turns out natural looking and stylish :) I have recommended Annette to all my roommates, who now go to her regularly too and love it! Stop by Lavish and make an appointment now!

She fixed my mullet!

by deutschy at Citysearch

I came to Annette close to tears and with a mullet...I had grown out my hair only to have another "stylist" make me look like Mrs. Brady (seriously!). Annette assured me we could fix it and seven months later I refuse to go anywhere else. I have never gotten compliments on my hair or my color, and recently, that is all I'm hearing! She listens to what you want out of the style and makes it look amazing! The salon is cozy and fun. I'm moving back to the East Bay soon and will continue to make trips to the Marina just to see Annette.

• Pros: Great style and color! Fun salon atmosphere!
• Cons: None.

Amazing, new salon in San Francisco!

by kweg83 at Citysearch

Lavish salon is absolutely wonderful! I make the drive in every 2 months for my color and cut and have been extremely satisfied with the professionalism and talent of Annette Avila, the owner and main stylist! She makes my hair look amazing and is also very skilled in make-up artistry. Great for wedding/party updo's but also for everyday cuts and color.

• Pros: Talented staff, excellent products, $5 parking (all-day) across the street at a hotel
• Cons: N/A

The best Hair stylist and Colorist In the Bay

by galina888 at Citysearch

I would recommend this salon for any one who really wants a great hair style, color or special occasion hair & Make up. I have been going to the owner of the salon, Annette for more then 5 years and now I am even willing to drive to San Jose for a great haircut and color. Her techniques are so good and updated with that not that many could compare. You don't even have to tell her what you think would look good she will work with you on getting the style that works Best for your hair length, condition and a life style. Try her.. the ambience of the salon the stylists all together and you will feel like you are 2 min away from The Rodeo drive or Manhattan but better....and will not hurt your pocket...

LOVE IT!

• Pros: Great ambience, stylist and very professional; stuff will work on the service hours that best for you
• Cons: hard to find, but allow 10 min earlier to find a parking spot in the area
