I go here on regular basis ( work permit) to get my manicure service and fresh haircut, if there is a VIP customer coming, I need to really look high profile. The atmosphere in this salon is so relaxing and enjoyable, you don't want to leave.

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

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.

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 !!!

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!
