In Short – The offspring of a trendy Noe Valley salon and a Petaluma hair guru, this Castro outpost with black hardwood floors, original artwork and a waiting room punctuated with corrugated steel is a destination for individualistic cuts and colors from experienced stylists and up-and-coming academy students. All the usual services for tresses are on the menu here, as well as some surprising options, like Funky Punky stain color, custom hair pieces, anti-curl perms, and wave nouveau treatments.

AMAZING!!!
by KR821 at Citysearch
I should preface this review by saying that it had been about ten years since I stepped foot inside a salon! That said, I was extremely nervous about my upcoming appointment with Fritz at Hair Play. However, as soon as I walked into the salon, I was put at ease. Theo was really sweet - he came immediately to offer me tea and get me ready for the appointment. Before he washed my hair, he and Fritz came over to talk to me about what I wanted to do with my hair. Now I should say - I have big - very big, very thick hair! I wasn't sure that Fritz would be able to do anything with it if he didn't straighten it, but I couldn't have been more wrong! After getting a superb wash from Theo, Fritz began working the SET through my hair. SET is AMAZING!!! It's technically a setting lotion but it should really just be called "miracle in a bottle for ANY hair type". My hair is so thick and big that most other things I've tried just sort of sit on top of my big hair, but SET worked magic! When Fritz was done, I could see that SET was holding my curl pattern really nicely and left my hair super soft and light. It wasn't sticky or crispy or greasy - just soft and smooth...All that said, I definitely recommend making a trip to go and see Fritz. If you have really thick hair and you thought nothing would work for you, try SET before you give up for good. It's a great detangler, great conditioner and just leaves your hair looking and smelling gorgeous! Thank you Theo, Thank you Fritz and Thank you SET:)
- Pros: The stylists, the service, the products!
- Cons: none.

Simply don't understand the High Rated Review!
by Dulo at Citysearch
Oh my god! When I called up and tried to make an appointment for hair cut, the girl who answered the phone was sooooo rude- NO customer service whatsoever. She hung up on me! Guess what, I cannot even get an appointment without any rudeness, so what should I expect for my hair cut?!!! BAAAD :(
