The very best! Color, highlights, cut are perfect. Great with longer hair and covering gray.

I found my gal!!! I sat down with desire for something new but no real vision and 50 minutes later I walk out with totally different look and beautifully styled to boot. This cut works with my natural texture and curl, so no need for tons of prep time in the morning.. a huge win. Sofia clearly has passion for her work, and a creative eye. I'll use her for cuts and up-do's in the future. Haven't seen her work with color, but she says she does it all.
Salon was pleasant, nice view of the bay, plenty of street parking on the most east end of Union. No big up sale with product, just

A great stylist; don't be intimidated by the salon as Sofia cuts Men's hair as well.
You can see from my avatar I am bald; but my 12-year-old son has George Clooney hair, the perfect canvas for her creativity. Sofia also provided a breezy narrative to keep him talking about what he wanted and... Magnifique.
I think he said thank you a thousand times while leaving Ringolevio. A 10 points experience.

Sofia is the best!!! I see her in both San Francisco AND Sonoma and would follow her to Mars if necessary. She is one of those rare stylists who is equally great at cut/style *and* color. Always professional, sweet, and quick to respond to appointment requests. She makes me look 10 years younger and 10 pounds lighter. She's the best!!!

Sofia has been cutting and styling my hair for over a year and a half; and I have nothing but good things to say about her! On a monthly basis I know exactly what to expect and I know I can count on her to deliver. She's accommodating with her availability, even on late notice. I'm always pleased with my haircuts and I highly recommend her work!

Sofia is a real pro. I had to reschedule and she was super-nice about it. She was very responsive via email and on the phone. Her website clearly lists pertinent info. Most importantly, she's a great listener and gave me an awesome haircut. Highly recommended!

Sofia is fantastic! I walked in to the salon about six months ago and haven't gone to another person since. She always does a clean job cutting my hair and making sure that it's always to a high standard and to my liking.

Sofia is an amazing hair stylist. I moved to San Francisco a few months ago and had no idea what to do when every other salon seemed to charge out of this world rates for average hair cuts. After awhile searching around and calling studio after studio, I got ahold of Sofia and she was willing to work with me. I haven't even considered looking elsewhere after my first cut with Sofia. She's incredibly talented, hospitable, and accommodating to my schedule. You will not regret using Sofia as your go to hair stylist.

Sofia does a fantastic job with my hair every time! I have been getting my hair cut and highlighted with Sofia for the last 3 years. I have a busy schedule so love that I can call, text or email her to make my appointments. She also has some great appointment slots Sun-Tues nights so I can get my hair done after work instead of random hours in the middle of my weekend or mid day. The salon is easy to get to and she always runs on time. She is patient and listens to how I want my hair done, but can work fast if I am in a rush. She has a great eye and does a nice job mixing my color to create natural

I am the type of guy that rewards excellent service with loyalty. Thus it says a lot that I have been getting hair cuts from Sofia for about a decade now. She is an excellent stylist!! She is courteous, punctual and professional. She is easy and fun to talk to as to pass the time during the cut, she is very stylish, and most importantly she keeps me looking sharp which is important for my profession.

Sofia has taken my hair from long to short and back to long and I always love it. She even finds a way to make the transition stages look intentional and stylish. She has skill and intuition that amount to great haircuts, and she's a pleasure to visit with during the cut.

Sofia is the best hairdresser I have ever had. She is the first person who had been able to cut my hair so that it looks good when I let it dry naturally and that's not easy with my hair. She is always helpful in teaching me different ways to style it and what I need to do to look my best. She also turned me on to this Moroccan hair oil that makes my hair so soft.

She creates a relaxing atmosphere which is a breath of fresh air to my busy schedule. She's easy to chat with and is a great and interested listener. She's like a really fun therapist! She also found a natural

4.5 Stars. Products smelled really good. She was quick and efficient. I loved the layered cut and honey blond partial highlights that she did. It turned out great. She definitely wants to make sure that you're on the same page so that the outcome of your hair is what you envisioned. I didn't really know what I thought I wanted but she helped me by asking many questions, clarifying things and well-ah! Beautiful cut and coloring! I loved how the chair is right by the window too.

Had my first appointment with Sofia today and was very pleased with the outcome! Sofia is a natural with lots of experience, and it shows. Her work seemed effortless yet intentional all at the same time. She caught on to my requests very quickly and just "got it", you know, the vision of what I was looking for. She seems to be very knowledgeable about different types of hair and the best styles for your particular texture, while ensuring that you are choosing your style based on your preferences, not hers. Does that make sense? It's a good thing. She is very open and enjoyable

Sofia is awesome! She has been doing my hair for 8 years. I started seeing her for my once a year perm (don't judge). I have always had difficult hair to work with and she mastered my hair immediately. I trusted her to perm my hair one week before my wedding, and it came out perfectly! And when my regular sylist left town, I began to see her for my hair cuts. I thought I had had the perfect cut on a regular basis until she began cutting my hair. She seems to know exactly what works for you without even trying. I love, love, love what she does with hair. You will, too. Trust me.
