Level 4 Salon

The worst experience ever! Do not believe the hype! Stay away!

by ShopGal415 at Citysearch

I was looking for a new stylist as my stylst simply left town no word, no forwarding salon, etc which is really a shame because I absolutely loved her! I went onto Citysearch and checked many salons before deciding to give this salon a try. I am sorry I did! After I read all of the great reviews on here, I was lead to believe this salon would rank as one of the best in the city, boy was I wrong! I had my appointment with Brandin. We made small talk, I asked him how long he had been doing hair, he answered a couple of years (that should have been my first clue as to how this experience was to end up!) The whole feel of the salon was cheap and was too casual and lacked energy (border-line unprofessional) there wasn't even a receptionist when I walked in(the place was empty), and once She did she wasn't very polite, she seemed bored and unhappy at just being there. I had my hair highlighted and cut by this stylist, (Brandin) he gave me a choppy haircut that one of my relatives or my husband could have done a better job at doing(for free!) and the highlights looked more like tiger stripes(I had told him during our consultation that I wanted a very natural look) that is not what I got! The color was also canary yellow, I suggested we put a color over the highlights and even after that it still looked bad. All I can say is people avoid this place! too many positive reviews are or should be suspicious (perhaps they are writing some of their own reviews?) and my question to this business is.....who at this salon was awarded best of Citysearch for not one but 2 or 3 years in a row?! as Brandin was the only one doing hair while I was there for 3 hours +! I sure wished I had that stylist(the one that got voted Best of Citysearch, if they in fact exist?) do my hair instead of how I ended up looking like! Never again!

• Pros: Can't think of one positive thing to say honestly!
• Cons: Untrained stylist, empty salon,lacking energy,over-priced, neighborhood questionable(not Union Square!) Impolite

Fantastic New Hairstyle

by BetsyJohnston at Citysearch

I recently visited San Francisco badly in need of a haircut. I did some internet research and had already included Level 4 Salon on my "short list" of salons to check out once I got to the city, initially because of it's location. I visited Level 4 and felt immediately comfortable enough to scrap visits to the other 2 salons on my list. I made an appointment with Leticia (I hope I'm getting that right!) for the next day. I could not be any more pleased with the cut and style that she gave me. I had been growing my hair out for more than a year, even though I'd never had long hair before. Needless to say, it was a mess when I walked in. Leticia listened to what I thought I was looking for, discussed her recommendations with me, and gave me the MOST FABULOUS cut and style I've had in ?? years! In addition, she took the time to make sure I understood what to do with my hair once I got home, and my hair has looked great ever since! She was easy to talk to, very professional in everything she did, and even made a great restaurant recommendation! I even had a fantastic evening with my new hairstyle at the recommended restaurant. Without hesitation, I can honestly offer my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a salon in San Francisco. You couldn't do any better than Leticia! (I'm sorry if I'm spelling your name wrong!)

COLORIST/STYLIST KWANDEE NOW AT FRANGE BLUE!!

by JanMarie at Citysearch

Just in case there are any other guys/gals like me who changed their contact info and therefore lost track of Kwandee after he left the Level 4 Salon, he is now at the Frange Blue Salon @ 760 Market St. *PLEASE NOTE* Frange Blue does not have a receptionist so you'll want to call Kwandee's number directly (instead of tracking him down in person like I did, hey, I was desperate!). His number is (415) 602-6204. . I almost tried another stylist when I lost track of Kwandee, but quickly continued the search for him when I recalled my previous hair color experiences before I found him (he’s the best – over 20 years experience with color and really listens to what you want!). Hopefully, if there are any other “lost souls,” they will see this email.

What a wonderful salon!!!

by RMia88 at Citysearch

Wow what a wonderful place to get your hair done!!! I had been searching for a new stylist for about a month since i had just moved from the east coast. I had been to one place previous to Level 4 and the effed up my hair BAD!!! So after reading the great reviews about this place i decided to call and i booked with Julie. That woman worked absolute WONDERS on my hair!!!!! I was so happy to have found someone who could make me look fab again (which at one point i though impossible!) and my hair had never looked better!!! I refered my best friend to her and she loved her hair as well and is now a lifetime client!!! I unfortunately have moved again but as soon as i get back to SF Julie is the first person i'll be calling!!!!!

• Pros: Great location, clean, bright, friendly stylist, GOOD hair!!
