Hair Studio Sho - San Francisco (CA)

Kenny Nieh Lisette is a phenomenal, inclusive, and talented hair stylist and color expert. Ive been going to her since 2018 and each cut, styling, and color Ive experienced with her has been transformative, affirming, and fun. Shes really good at listening to your feedback as well as exchanging ideas for where you can take your hair. Ive learned so much about my hair through her care and see so many possibilities for where I can take my hair journey with her. I highly recommend you check out Lisette for your hair cut and/or hair coloring. Shes the one.

Sona Samonpal I had a wonderful experience with Li, the owner of the salon. My hair was extremely long, uneven, damaged, and full of split ends, and I wanted a healthier look with more volume since it was very flat. Before starting, I asked Li if the style that I want would suit me, and she took the time to explain what she could do to achieve the look I wanted. She made sure we were on the same page before beginning the trim, which I really appreciated. The end result was exactly what I hoped for. My hair looks so much healthier and has great volume now! The price is also very reasonable. As a college student, finding an affordable hair salon in SF without breaking the bank can be tough, but this place offers great quality at a budget-friendly price. I highly recommend Li for her skill, attention to detail, and fair pricing!

Serafina Keltner-McNeil The most lovely, friendly hair salon. Angie and Martha are so talented and warm. My highlights and layered hair cut were beautifully done and very affordable.

Sarah-Rose Lancaster Stacey did a fantastic job with my hair! He was very communicative, making sure I got the exact cut and style I wanted. Stacey was also a pleasure to chat with. I enjoyed the entire haircut experience with Stacey and would love to have him cut my hair again!

Anousha Lily did a great job with my keratin treatment! My hair is smooth, shiny, and so much healthier now. She’s skilled, kind, and really knows what she’s doing. Highly recommend her!

Robin Meyerhoff David Dieguez is simply the BEST! Since I started doing to him, Ive received so many compliments on my hair! David always manages to make me feel chic and does something slightly new each time, so I dont feel like Im getting the same old cut. Hes worked a lot in the fashion industry and has a great sense of what works for my (wavy and gray) hair and face.

Megumi Yuhara Always feel like a VIP coming here! Super convenient hours and haircut is always exceptional! Highly recommend for both male and female haircuts!

Kate Mercado Kat was great! I had henna damage to repair and some roots to cover and she blended everything seamlessly. I love it! My color is “ash 8”

Ini Li I dont usually post reviews but I have to for Mako at Arty Hair! Ive been going to Mako for my regular haircuts for several years now. I never had a regular hair stylist until her. Mako always gives me a consistent hair style for my thick, wavy hair just how I like it. Luckily I was seeing her for a haircut a few weeks before my wedding at City Hall and realized I had no idea of what to do with my hair. I asked Mako if she could style my hair and all I can say is, wow. She came up with a hair style that felt true to me and it stayed in place all day. Shes already a little hard to book (Im a last-minute kind of girl) so writing this review poses the risk that she will be even harder to book but I just had to write this glowing review. Im sure the other stylists at Arty are wonderful too!

Artie Wu Tom is an absolute master of his craft! As a man with long hair, it can be tough to find a stylist who truly understands how to cut and shape it properly—but Tom exceeded all my expectations. He was patient, incredibly skilled, and had a deep understanding of how to work with long hair to make it look its absolute best. From the moment I sat in his chair, I knew I was in expert hands. He took the time to listen, made thoughtful recommendations, and executed with precision and artistry. The result? A haircut that not only feels incredible but also is effortlessly natural and easy to maintain. Beyond his technical expertise, Tom is kind, professional, and genuinely cares about making sure his clients leave feeling amazing. If you have long hair and want a stylist who knows exactly what they’re doing—Tom is the one. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and will definitely be back!
