First time back since February, but felt perfectly at ease and had a great cut and conversation. Health protocols are in place, for added safety, so things run a little differently from a normal appointment, but the resulting haircut is just as good as before. Brian took the time to interpret my vague ideas for a change in style and I left very happy.

The images on Brian's website showing a blue hairy mess replaced by gorgeous strawberry-blond curls are mine. Brian took time to understand my hair and after he did a curly cut, stripped the dyi-dye job and applied the multi-hued red, I am thrilled with the best hair style I have ever had! My hair is effortless to style and in great condition and it moves!

It's hard to find a stylist that you really trust with your look AND that you enjoy spending an hour of your time chatting with, but Brian is just that person! Consistency great cuts and conversation without fail!

Consistently great haircut. Have been coming here for nearly two years. I have very difficult to deal with curly (male) hair and Brian is able to work magic every single time. He's happy to make sure the appointment lasts as long as it needs to to fit both my schedule and whatever is required to create a quality and long lasting haircut. Very high attention to detail and cares a great deal about making sure he's up on the latest hair research to advise both on style and care regiments to best compliment your hair and the style you're trying to achieve. He also sends out an optional

I've been going to Brian for years and from a short and tight cut to very long hair. The experience has always been best in class. He's great company and always reliable.

Brian saved by day. I got a horrible haircut in a different barber shop and I needed somebody to fix it urgently. I met Brian, told him my problem, what I needed and he managed to fix it easily and professionally. Great treatment and personal touch. I will definitely come back and you should too.

Despite the heat wave, Brian made my appointment enjoyable. I had the keratin treatment for the first time (purchased on Gilt City), and am so happy with the results. He uses high quality products and works efficiently. To top it off, he is a pleasure to talk to, but doesn't force conversation. I would definitely return.

Well that is me, in the photos with the blonde layers. Since Brian is so great at color and styling I have followed him to sexy down town SF. I make it a special day for myself when I go to see him, like it always was, but I try to remember to enjoy what 100s of tourists come to SF to see it each day. He has helped me deal it the odities of my hair like a very strange BIG caloc in the back and parts the curl and other very straight parts. I love his patience and care. Give him a try and enjoy Grant Ave. every two months, Like I do.

Brian has been cutting my hair now for over 5 years and I couldn't be happier. I have very straight and fine hair that requires his utmost attention to keep it looking good. He's the most through stylist I've been to and guarantee you will be happy with the results as I always am.
