Tailored Salon

I followed my colorist, Cristi, to this salon because she’s the best! I’m now a fan of the salon as well.
Cristi is an experienced colorist that brings incredible style and art to her craft. I am always happy with my color (and I’m picky about my hair!) Cristi recommended balayage for me which is a nice option because it’s lower maintenance than the traditional highlights I had previously. I have been seeing her around 2 years– I think. Cristi does a fabulous blow-​out after the service. She styles my hair perfectly every time and it lasts for days. She uses great products and she’s knowledgable about products. Honestly, she’s the best and lovely to talk to.
I also enjoy visiting the salon. Everyone is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is very positive and everyone seems to enjoy working there.
Booking is easy. The location is convenient.
I can’t say enough nice things! I’ve probably forgotten some…

I went to see Sofie for a major overhaul and cut my man-​bun off. She is a true artist and calmed any anxiety I had about making such a drastic makeover. I lost about 7 inches and left with a fresh edgy hair style and +10 confidence. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a hair style that makes a statement.

You know how cool, edgy salons usually have that off-​putting, frosty attitude. You won’t find that at Tailored. Everyone here is adorable and friendly and they really care about all aspects of your visit. I see Ken for cuts and Jennifer for color. Super happy with the results. 5 stars.

Jennifer and Melissa are dynamic. Jennifer does simply beautiful color and Melissa follows up with an amazing cut. I love how they know to do the perfect look and I don’t have to worry about what I think I want since they actually over deliver every time!
After leaving the salon yesterday I ran some errands and had 3 people approach me and compliment me on my hair.
Besides the talented Melissa and Jennifer the salon itself is a great environment from the minute you arrive. The receptionist is always very attentive and the assistants do a fantastic job ensuring you are well taken care of throughout.

So much talent and such a welcoming, friendly attitude all in one salon! Had another great highlighting from Jennifer and styling from Todd yesterday. I’ve been going to Todd more than five years, but just started with Jennifer six months or so ago, and couldn’t be happier. In December I went for a partial highlighting, she said I didn’t need it… even though she had booked the time. Very classy!
Wonderful Jacqui at the front desk keeps everything organized and can work miracles with tight schedules. Todd and co-​founder Nicole are now being sought all over the world for their expertise. So happy they’re headquartered here.

I have been coming to Tailored for almost two years now. My stylist name is Dilva and I love every hair cut she has done on me. She has a great eye for what would work with my particular hair which tends to be difficult. I have wavy, curly hair that is really flat. Dilva always seems to work some magic and I walk out feeling like Beyonce. For real, I am really feeling myself every time I leave Tailored Salon. Dilva is professional but at the same time she feels as if she is a long time friend. If you go to Tailored Salon, go check out Dilva… she is the BOMB. I want to give a shout out to the front desk coordinator Jackie who is exceptional and makes you feel very welcomed.

I was referred to Todd by a woman at my yoga studio who used to work reception at Vidal Sassoon — obviously before Tailored was born. All I said was «is there anyone there you’d recommend?» Next scene: I’m meeting Todd at Tailored and I’m delighted to say I just had my third haircut with him. Each time I jokingly say «I don’t care what you do except make me look 30 years younger» but each time he does it. He’s a very interesting man, not just a superb stylist — actually i think of him as a sculptor, really. That’s how talented he is.

Tailored Salon is exceptional! I have been a loyal client of Nicole’s for several years and am thrilled with her attention to detail, artistic expression and genuine connection. These same qualities show up throughout her salon. I receive compliments on my hair style everytime and continue to be impressed with the level of education, training and mentorship that is ongoing with the Tailored Salon Team. Thank you, Nicole — for following your heart and opening the Tailored Salon!

Amazing Salon, love love it! My colorist Guru is Cristi Britton. I was mostly excited coming back to SF to seeing her and going back to being blonde again. I can’t trust anyone else with my thick Asian hair but Cristi. She’s talented and makes sure my hair is well taken care of before she does anything that will damage it. She listens to what I want done to my hair and never fails to amaze me. The staff are great and love the lighting in this salon. Thank you Cristi and staff.

My stylist’s name is Queen. I followed her to Tailored from Vidal Sassoon where I was a long-​term, regular customer. When she departed, I did, too.
Queen is so talented! The concepts of her designs are strong and I always receive compliments from people about the cuts (during a break in my dance class, at the coffee shop, at work, in an elevator, on campus). Interestingly, the compliments are usually from other women. Now that I live in San Diego, I still fly to San Francisco to have my hair cut by Queen. It’s art.

I am in love this place. Best place for a good styled haircut. I’ve been to many salons and they are the only ones who can do it right. Love love Todd been with him since Vidal 7 years. Always a great haircut. Queenie is also one of my favorites, she’s a great stylus. Jennifer awesome colorist, been seeing her too since vidal for 13 years. Even if I was not able to book my favorites I trust Todd hiring the best… so I’d still get a cut from the other stylus.

WOW, why would I want to write a truthful review of this fantastic place and perhaps even mention who my personal awesome hairdresser is (Dilva) and then find that the next time I try to make an appointment there are no times available because all of you out there have now turned on to my special secret place!!!
Perfection with meticulous attention to… well, everything! And did I mention Dilva is a gem? Talented, gifted, professional and very personable. The Best!

Love love love this salon!
I’ve been privileged to follow Nicole for over 10 years, and wouldn’t let anyone else cut/​style my hair… except when she’s away on maternity, when I was in the fantastic hands of Queen. Nicole has helped me through many «let’s grow it out» «no I want it short» «can we do edgy but corporate appropriate?» moods, and always has the perfect artistic vision. Under her care I’ve felt more confident about my hair. Amazingly, I was able to stop doing thermal reconditioning (Japanese straightening) because her cuts/​styles help me achieve that level of control (ok, with a little help from a flat iron).
High fives also to Jennifer for my color — I ALWAYS get compliments on it. We’ve been through quite a few shades of red, brown and blond together. I’ve also seen Cristi a few times when I scheduled last second, and she is a great addition to the Tailored team.
I love following their Instagram account too for inspiration between visits.
Worth every penny.

I love my stylist, her name is Sofie. I’ve been looking for a stylist for years, and have been going to different locations and was never truly happy. Sofie is amazing, she’s very talented, and listens to what you ask her. She also always give you good feedback on what looks better with your hair style and face. She’s also very nice and friendly, which makes the appointment more fun.
Although the entrance from street is not very eye-​catching but the salon is modern, nice and clean and the staff is friendly and professional.

Hands down best salon in SF. I’ve had my hair cut a couple times here with Nicole and I must say it simply gets better and better every each haircut. The relaxing environment and friendly staff members make it a wonderful place to simply unwind.
Nicole is ridiculously talented and her passion for her craft truly shines through. She asks all the right questions and makes sure you feel über comfortable right from the start. I’d recommend her to anyone getting a cut whether it’s a classic style or something avant guard. The girl really knows her stuff!
I won’t be going anywhere else for my hair needs. Thanks Tailored Salon. Keep up the good work.

I loved everything about my experience at Tailored! Sophie was such a sweet woman who brought a new edge to my overgrown pixie. She was giving off all the good vibes and I feel so lucky that I found a great stylist/​salon that I mesh with on my first try as a new SF transplant!

I usually see Nicole but she just became a new mommy and was away (congrats!!!), Tailored was able to fit me in for a last minute haircut with Karrie this last time.
Karrie is amazing and listened to my needs. I wanted a long bob and she worked with what I had and the end result was WONDERFUL! I’m a fitness instructor and usually wear my hair up, the cut looks great in a pony tail! It’s also growing out nicely. Just what I asked for. I’m very impressed and can’t wait to try another stylist next time as I believe Tailored Salon has many great talents!

I don’t have your typical «Asian» hair. My hair is super course, super thick and frizzy. Having Todd cut my hair was the best decision I’ve made! Game/​Life/​Hair changer. Not only does Todd know how to cut my type of hair, he is also very knowledgeable as far as what kind of haircut/​hairstyles would work on me and what wouldn’t. I also love the fact that he explains what he’s doing and why he’s doing it.
Todd is an exceptional hairstylist and the staff at Tailored Salon offers first class customer service!!!

Stop what you are doing because I am about to ruin… the image and style I used to!
To give you an example of how addicted I am with the fabulous, one and only Todd s, I want you to know that I live, breathe, and career in aloha land aka hawaii nei! Todd is worth a solo trip! Why? He pretty much dominates the shears to the point of ridiculousness. I am always blown away when I step into the chair, watch, get blown away, watch someone then feel above and beyond beautiful. You heard me say it beautiful. Another important reason Todd is the bestest! I have short hair so it is not easy to make me feel beautiful… if that makes sense? I have been going to Todd for about… sheesh, ten years!!!
In this time my mom started to go to Todd and Jennifer and adores them both to bits and pieces. She is a funny woman and totally is appreciated by Todd and he treats her and pampers her like a princess! Exactly what she totally deserves.
Jennifer did my color and dominated as well. My color is natural with a legit flair that makes it perfect based on what she and I discussed.
Thank you Jennifer and Todd, I really hesitated to do this review as I do not want to make a scheduling challenge for my mom or me!!!

This is not your typical salon. The stylists here are true artists! I have been going to Sofie for quite some time and she is incredibly talented.
I’ve gotten several different cuts from her and we are always changing my hair up every time I come in. It’s amazing how many creative haircuts she can come up with! Even when I’m not sure what I want to do with my hair she always impresses my with her creativity. I always get compliments about my hair from strangers and people are always asking me where I get my hair cut. My cut always grows out nicely too, even if I wait 3 months before cutting it again. It always looks fresh.
The salon itself is really modern and stylish. It’s on the second floor and has lot’s of natural light. It was featured in Dwell Magazine because of the design. The people who work here are all really nice and they try to make sure you are taken care of. There is no attitude here and everyone is always smiling and it seems like they really enjoy what they do.
I highly recommend Sofie and this salon.
