I recently moved to the Bay Area. I was in need of a good stylist. Jocelyn is superb! She knows hair. She did a great job on the color and cut. My hair never looked so good. I love my hair thanks to Jocelyn.

I went to see Debra for corrective color. My dark hair was dyed blonde and damaged. She said my hair was too damaged to do anything with my base color, yet she could do highlights and the dark roots would blend in with the blonde highlights and it would look like Jennifer Aniston's after a few visits. After two months of appointments my dark roots were inches long and my hair simply looked like i hadn't seen a colorist in several months. I was not happy and tried to call Debra to discuss ANY other possible options for my hair. (I was even willing to go back to my natural dark brown.) Debra told the receptionist to tell me that she was not comfortable doing anything else with my hair, and now five days before my appointment, i get a letter from GSquared explaining how they "apologize for being unable to meet my hair needs, and therefore will no longer be able to provide services for me and are cancelling further appointments." I am surprised at how i have been treated by this salon. It was not a good experience.

Been bouncing around from salon to salon for a bit, never really finding the perfect stylist. Not that I'm a perfectionist or anything, but for the money I'm paying I want my stylist to listen to what I want and explain to me the basics of what they're doing, why and how much of a dent it's going to put in my bank account. I finally found Debra at G-Squared! She is very professional and personable as well. When I arrived for my appointment, I told her what I wanted, which was kind of a layered cut and I also wanted to get some highlights done to brighten up my look a little bit. Debra told me it would be no problem, and recommended some coloring options. I was a little hesitant, which is understandable with a new stylist, but as Debra worked we chatted and she put me perfectly at ease. She's a total sweetheart! When I was done my hair looked perfect and I rebooked immediately. To top it off, I ended up paying less than I am used to. It was an amazing salon experience, one I was desperately in need of! Thanks Debra!

Pros: Professional yet friendly and very skilled stylists at great prices

Cons: Not the greatest area, but not that bad. Parking is relatively easy, though.

I just moved to SOMA from Marin county and had no clue where to go for a super nifty hair cut in my new neighborhood. The first thing that impressed me was all the great reviews here on citysearch. The second thing that wowed me was late on a Friday afternoon I was able to schedule an appointment for the next morning. The third and most important, was how comfortable I felt in the wonderfully talented and capable hands of Jocelyn. My hair is fine, nearly waist length, super curly, and hadn't been cut in seven months. Not only did she give me a fantastic, fresh, dramatic, and manageable cut in about fifteen minutes, she then gave me an awesome straight style The pricing is totally reasonable for the quality. Only downside is that they are not a full service salon, no waxing etc...I think they should expand their services!!! Nice place with great people.

Pros: great stylists, reasonable prices, mellow environment

Cons: not a full service salon

Not knowing where to go being new in town I looked on Citysearch and found these guys right around the corner.I feel very lucky to have found Jocelyne for color. She is so sweet and easy going and above all talented with her coloring skills. The salon is just right with 5 or 6 stylist I think and everyone seem really nice.

I made an appointment with Jocelyne last week and LOVED her. She is so sweet and easy to talk to and thorough in her consultation. My hair was overcolored from a previous experience and she was able to add dimension and style to it. The salon is very chill with other nice and talented stylist. I felt so relaxed and welcomed. Hooked!!!

Pros: talent,atmospere,stylist

Cons: none

Absolutely the worst experience I have had at a salon to date. The stylists were nice, but that was the only positive thing that came out of my experience. A serious lack of professionalism, skill and communication make this salon highly undesirable. You would think in order to work in the business you would be educated on your subject matter. I guess not. Definitely not recommended. Seek elsewhere.

Pros: Nice receptionist..?

Cons: Price, execution, etc.

I've been going to G-squared for a couple years now (god, has it been that long?). I have been getting my hair cut and colored by Debra, and I can't imagine going to anyone else. Debra is the friendliest, most consistent and, most importantly, most talented stylist I have ever been to. I knew from my first visit that she knew exactly what she was doing, and, even though I'm always nervous going to a new hair stylist, Debra put me right at ease, explaining to me how she was going to fix my color, and it turned out perfect. Then she gave me a fabulous new cut, one that I have stuck with since then. The salon is very easy to find and parking is a snap, much easier than the salons closer to downtown. I can't recommend G-Squared enough, they saved my hair!

Pros: Perfect Color and Cut, Friendly Atmosphere

Cons: Parking is easy, but read the signs

Believe it or not I have never colored my hair before so I was quite nervous doing it. I met with Jocelyne and she made me feel very comfortable and even more so I love my hair color. The space is open and chill which I love and I couldn't be happier. Also, Jocelyne gets the job done in a short amount of time.
