I notice that most reviews for wicked are from women so as a male I wanted to give Su at WICKED a highly deserved compliment. By the way I NEVER do these review things. That said, I was in San Fran over the Thanksgiving holiday week which my birthday also happened to fall into that time frame as well. My friends at home urged me to get my hair cut at a salon while I was there. I did some research via the internet and Wicked stood out as the top contender. I called and scheduled my appointment with Su but am sure I would have been just as happy with Vicki. I scheduled for color and a cut. When I arrived I had a brief consulation with Su and asked her what she would do if given complete artisitic control. She explained and I felt comfortable with her vision so I told her to go with it. Of course she inquired about my likes and dislikes of my current cut from the stylist I have been visiting for 10+ yrs (felt a bit like I was cheating). Oh well. She started with the color. She chose a shade darker which was really great and very vibrant (nice chocolate brown). She then continued with the cut which more attention, detail and precision was given as if she were fine tuning some antique instrument. I have to say it was truly amazing. She did things to my hair I have never seen done. The outcome was a masterpiece which did take 2 1/2 hours. So be sure to plan your time accordingly. Everyone did comment on how great my hair looked even weeks after when it began to grow out. Go ahead make an appointment at WICKED you will not regret it.
Pros: Right in the middle of Union Sqr where all the action is
Cons: Takes a bit of time to get great color and a great haircut (2 1/2) hrs so plan accordingly
