Sold my soul for Shab's hairstyling and rock n' roll. I moved to SF from Indiana thinking it would have been easy to find a good stylist, but was seriously mislead and was seemingly heading down all the darkest alleys in the city or something like that looking to cop a good haircut. It took me several salons, stylists and near death experiences ?til I stumbled across Shab on a whim while remembering a tip on a salon in the Castro from my roommate. The receptionist said Shab had an opening, so I rolled the dice and rolled 7, 11, and the rest is history. I went away with easily the best service and haircut I have had in the two years since I have been here?not to mention she is stunning and super personable, which is always a plus. I have since followed her to Willow and have every attention on following her all down the line when I need a fix. She always keeps me looking like rock n' roll royalty. She truly rocks and rolls and will help give your hair the swagger it needs. Aside from my top notch experience with Shab, the rest of the Willow staff also seemed exceptional. The salon was super rad, clean, had great products, and even gives you complimentary teas in enough variety to suite every need. So check out Shab and Willow for sure, just make sure to tip her well damn it because she will totally deserve it

get ready to get pampered!. I recently went in to willow salon for a manicure and pedicure..cuz yay they have a manicurist now!! I've been into many salons in the city to get my nails done, and am usually rushed through the whole thing. Fannie at willow was very sweet. she took her time and added little extras like rose petals and fragrant oils in the water and gave me a foot massage that melted my stress of the week! I'll definitely be back to visit.

the overall experience at willow was a great one. everyone there seems like they enjoy their job, from the front desk receptionist to the stylists to the clients that come in.

Great Stylist !!!. I live in L.A. and I went to San Fransico for my 40th birthday to see the Mathew Barney exibit at SFMOMA. On a whim, I decided to get a new look. I walked into the first salon I saw and asked for any available stylist. That was Gilbert. He listened to every word I said and took my curly, blonde hair to a rich, straight chocolate brown. Now, whenever I am on business trips in S.F. I always set a day aside for Gilbert to do my touch ups !!!

Best service and cut. Eduardo is the person you must see at Willow. He actually listens to what you want and treats your hair with care. I have stubbornly wavy Asian hair but he manages to give me the best cut and shine in the neighborhood since my move from LA (and I've tried all the salons near Union Square). Eduardo you are the best!

consistent and on-time!. Seems like all stylists are consistent and on-time. Sarah is my stylist - friends and strangers always comment on my color. She's effective with her time when you're in the chair, and she is always on time- an important thing to most all of us! Most of my friends are going to Sarah now and are so happy with their hair as well!

Good times. I went to go get my nails done at this great salon because now they have a nail person, and she was great, I got a gel over lay on my nails and a spa pedicure. She took her time which was a nice relief, since my life is so busy. I went to Zaza nail spa and I really didn't like it so I tried Willow and it was the experience that I was looking for. I'am sooo happy they have a nail person, because now I can walk down the street.

love Willow Salon, Veronica colors my hair and when I want to do something that might not look good she will let me know. Sarah cuts my hair and I couldn't ask for someone better, she too will let me know what works and what doesn't work! Parking is easy, and they provide you with change. The other staff members are awesome and you can tell that they get along and like their job. With that setting its easy for me to relax and enjoy getting my hair done.

Willow Rocks. I have been going to Willow for 2 years and finally decided to give it a shout out!. I have tried almost everyone at the Salon and have never been disappointed. I color my hair and even though I changed stylists I have always had consistent results. The service is excellent and every one is super sweet. Love the calm atmosphere. Thanks Sarah and Veronica!!

Veronica rules. I followed Veronia from another salon in the City, and am very happy to find that the ambience at Willow is so cozy and warm--the salon I went to previously was fine, but was rather minimalist, black furniture, track lighting--not warm and cozy and comfy!

Veronia is the best hair stylist I've found in 10 years in SF, and because she is also very funny and down to earth, while also being hip and young and the possessor of Beautiful Eyes, it's always a good experience to have my hair cut by her.
