Won't be disappointed; Gene knows what he is doing!

by dfaz at Citysearch

Was able to get a get a same day appointment due to a last minute cancellation. Parking was a breeze. Gene greeted me with a big smile. I felt comfortable right away. I came in for a color treatment. He then suggested a slight different cut and I agreed with his vision and gave him the ok. I felt confident that he knew what he was doing. I was right. I'm totally happy with the color and the cut. I would definitely go back again. Super nice atmosphere! Price was reasonable.

Love my hair thanks to Gene!

by Aimeeeee at Citysearch

Gene saved me from pyramid head with his wonderful haircuts to thin out the bulk and shape my hair so I'm wearing it down consistently since I've grown it long. Gene's fun to talk to and a great, positive personality! I never feel pressured into having my hair cut a certain way or to buy tons of stuff. My last salon really pushed product and harped on how terrible growning my grey out would look and that it wouldn't style. Wha??? My hair, thanks to Gene, looks great...long, grey, and super stylish. Merci Gene!

  • Pros: Great cuts, relaxed atmosphere.

From hair disaster to hair masterpiece!

by brookieb823 at Citysearch

I will highly recommend Gene.

I am from New York, where I had a great stylist to whom I was very loyal. When I moved to California, I suffered through many bad haircuts, desperately searching for someone I could count on. Then, one haircut bothered me SOOO much that my boyfriend made me an appointment with Gene to fix it. I don't live in San Francisco, but I can tell you one thing for sure: You can bet I'll be here to see Gene when I need a haircut!

I have long, thick, wavy hair, and I like the "long layers" look. Gene fixed my whole horrible, boring last cut with a razor (which I had never seen before), and I felt like such a princess when he was done that I couldn't help but hug him!

I read the other reviews complaining about the razor and the attitude... well, my hair feels healthier from it and I am a new loyal customer!

  • Pros: excellent work
  • Cons: he's a busy man, so be punctual and be flexible
