Love love love my new haircut!!! Melinda took about 6 inches off my hair, after a year since my last haircut. My hair is heavy and thick, and she took a lot of weight off which is a huge relief!! I'll definitely be back soon, I had such a wonderful experience! :)

Great customer service! Sandy did a great job with my hair and gave a great finish! On top of that I was able to meet with Ali to discuss colour goals all in the same appointment. Very efficient! Great staff too!

Love, love, LOVED my experience here at Salon Nine! I can't say enough good things! I came here a couple of weeks ago looking to spice up my virgin, black hair, and I am so happy with the result. Ale was my colorist and Mari was my hairdresser and they both did a fantastic job.

With this being my first experience at a salon, I really put all my trust into the both of them and said to do whatever they thought was good. I brought in a couple of reference pictures to give them the vibe of what I wanted and had them do the rest. I ended up with a nice ash blonde balayage with hints of caramel

I had a very good, fuss-free experience at Salon Nine — it was my first time visiting the salon to get a hair cut, and I thought everything was seamless, I had a great haircut by Hanabi, and I'm definitely looking forward to the next time I go back!

Things can get a little hairy with salons (yuck yuck). But EUREKA -- I found my new go-to hair place!! Shout out to Hanabi (love the cut) and Vivian (love the color). Hard to believe a hair salon has perfect 5.0 Yelp score -- particularly when peeps can be so extreme about hair likes/dislikes. My hair was destroyed during COVID (compliments of my engineer husband being my hair person). I'm pretty brave when it comes to changing it up -- so I was over bleached, over colored, over cut. I gave Hanabi and Vivian very little to work with. And kudos to them for not stating the obvious when I got

Ali and Melinda were awesome! Love how my hair turned out! Ali did my really pretty highlights and added that hint of magenta as my additional request! Melinda's cut was exactly what I wanted!! Both of them were also super nice! I just found my new fave SF salon!

I had a wonderful experience at Salon Nine! The space is very nice and clean. Hanabi cut my hair - I showed her photos of the style I wanted and she did a great job. She's super friendly, very detailed, and gave me a thorough consultation beforehand. If you're looking for a good quality hair cut, I definitely recommend that you book an appointment with Hanabi!

I had to come back for a redo on my hair color. I was told that they would be no charge. When I was walking out the door I was charge for it. Reason was because they said that tint was a redo but not the highlight. From the very beginning I told them I wanted my hair highlighted. That's why it was a redo. I wish they would've told me this from the very beginning and not surprised at the end... frustrated!!!!

I followed my hair goddess Mari here! Salon Nine is at a nice and quiet location near union square but it wasn't difficult to find. They did a great job about social distancing- I was the only customer there on the first floor for almost my entire haircut.

The place was clean, the receptionist was super nice and Mari of course was amazing like she always is. I have A LOT of hair (unruly Asian hair) that's naturally wavy so usually my haircut takes her about 2 hours. She's super detailed and I loved every cut that was done by her, especially the asymmetrical bob from 2 years ago

Absolutely fantastic! I have been going there for years and love everyone there. I generally wait too long to get my roots done, and voila, all fixed! Janet and everyone is amazing!
All the precautions and protocols are in place so no need to wait! Go see them!

I followed my stylist Mari, of 8 years, to Salon 9. I love Salon 9's location on Maiden Lane and the modern and very clean space itself!

Situated on two floors with the loft level above, it's got just the right even lighting with modern self lit mirrors. Color station is beautiful, transforming the space into looking like an upscale department store.

Mari is a master at her hair cutting skills, specializing in razor textured cuts, long and short. Her cuts take out all the bulky weight out of my thick & long Asian hair, leaving it full of natural bounce and body and very easy to

I've been going to this salon for 15 years now. The entire staff is welcoming, professional and highly experienced. I've been seeing Chelsea for color and Melinda as my stylist. They are both amazing!! Even after moving to the East Bay 3 years ago, I would never even think of finding a new salon! They have always been a clean and sanitized salon so there was no hesitation in booking an appointment after their reopening a few weeks ago. They are following safety protocols and making sure their clients are comfortable and safe. If you are hesitant in returning to the salon due to Covid, just know

Salon Nine is open for business and I highly recommend going there for cut and color! My daughter and I had our hair colored recently and the salon is well prepared for your safety and wellness. It was fabulous to see everyone there, and it was fantastic to have our hair done!

I have been a client at this salon since 1978. It is an outstanding experience every time I have an appointment. The space is super clean, spacious and there are always special touches:beautiful plants and flowers, snacks, drinks. Every single stylist is excellent:I’ve seen most of them over the years. I always get complimented on my hair styles, cuts, and color. I am never disappointed with the service, which is professional from the minute I walk in the door. A+++++

I’ve been coming to Salon Nine for a few years now and with salon’s now able to open again just wanted to give a huge shout out to the entire team for making it possible to come back to the salon in a COVID safe environment! There’s temp check at the door, proper distancing and masks all around! My hair is colored by Chelsea, who I absolutely adore! I’ve never had anyone master hair color like she does. Melinda cuts my hair and she is a miracle worker. Hands down. Everyone that works there is so kind to the clients and so wonderful to be around. Thank you Salon Nine!
