on Citysearch May 18, 2009This was the best haircut I have ever recieved since moving to San Francisco in '99. Ten years later I finally got an INCREDIBLE haircut from CJ, the manager of this salon. I am definitely coming back again. She was very... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 05, 2009Miguel is great. I have curly hair which is difficult to cut, & Miguel did exactly what I wanted. He spent a lot of time on me and made me feel like a VIP customer. I love my hair! (more)

on Citysearch Feb 13, 2009If you want a trendy style this is NOT the place to go! I came in expecting to get one thing and came out with something i didn't want - at a very steep price. First, we tried to bleach the color out of my hair - didn't lift. Not... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 21, 2008Miguel is the best. I have difficult stiff blond hair and he is the only person in years that can make it look great without scissor marks. Also, even though the salon is in the Castro and I am a conservative finance guy, I... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 15, 2008Let me preface the experience to give you an idea of my situation: I am a six foot tall blonde, with unruly long hair. My blonde locks reach down to the center of my back, and my biggest problem was the constant abundance... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 12, 2008I am new to the area, and I found this salon walking down the street. They advertise a first time cut for $35, which caught my eye. I almost missed it, the salon is located above Wells Fargo, but I am glad I decided to... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 11, 2008Called into Notorious for Hair and was sitting in the chair having my hair cut within 10 minutes. Miguel is the newby over at Notorious for Hair but is in no way an amateur, he has been making flashy hair-do's for the... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 04, 2008Go see Kat at this salon! She is great! She fixed my hair in a crisis that I was having! She was able to make what I thought was impossible to fix to a hair cut that I was completely comfortable with. She is the one to see!... (more)

on Citysearch May 01, 2008I really hate to be the one to write a poor review, but this needs to be said. I got my haircut today by Sandy, she was awesome!! This comment is not about her.....it is about the false advertisment on the website. They say... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 02, 2008To be honest, this place seems a little ho-hum to me. I wasn't blown away by the reception I received from the other employees, but Jessie was warm and had a smile. After a heck of a ride into the Castro, I was ready to just... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 27, 2008I've been getting my hair cut and styled by Jessie for the last 4 or so years. It has taken me YEARS, numerous run-ins with various "top notch" stylists, and loads of a cash to find someone that could style and care for my... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 01, 2008It was a really bad hair day. I was reminiscing over some old photos and sadly realized that my hairstyle hadn't changed much since I was about 5 years old (I'm now 36!) I called NFH and my hero, Rodney, answered the phone... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 14, 2007This place rocks. Rodney was my stylist. What can I say more. He was friendly, enthusiastic in showing me easy and simple ways to wear my hair up. He only used a razor to cut my hair and did a great job. I don't wear bangs,... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 05, 2007I have been coming here for a few years now. I like to try out different stylist because I'm sort of a butterfly. These guys are? The Jewel in the Crown?. The energy there is always fun, whenever I go there I feel like I'm... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 22, 2007I had a stylist that I went to for 5 years who moved to London about 6 months ago, so in the meantime, until I found a new stylist I had been going to places like Great Cuts and Supercuts for trims. Well, needless to say, my... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 01, 2007I met Joey before she trained as a stylist and was really excited to see her skills at work on my own cowlicks and asymmetrical multi-hued hair. So, I did the obvious thing and travelled from my home in Ottawa, Canada, to... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 27, 2007There are only two hairstylists that I completely trust and wish I could kidnap. Kat at Notorious is one of them, the other is in Carrara, Italy. I drive about 50 miles from Santa Rosa, CA to have Kat cut my hair. My hair is... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 25, 2007Kat has been doing my hair color and cut for quite a while, and I'm thrilled that she has joined the Notorious team, because she's now only blocks from my house! She takes her time and does it right, doesn't speed through... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 24, 2007Joey is so great! I have curly, thick hair that is hard to know exactly what to do with and tricky to make look stylish not just big and curly - but she did it!!! I love, love, love my haircut and will definitely go back soon.... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 23, 2007I recently went to Kat at Notorious for Hair and left very happy. I have very curly hair and I'm usually very cautious about getting new styles or layers put in because they often cut it too short. Kat asked me questions... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 18, 2007I'm growing my hair out, and Joey actually made my in-between awkwardness look smoking hot. The space was beautiful, everyone was super-friendly, and Joey treated me like a queen. Now that I know, I wouldn't go... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 13, 2007Shab is a nice and friendly lady but her work was not that great. She didn't warn me about how fast the color could have faded away. As a stylist, hair colorist, she should have known before hand that the color red is not... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 25, 2007I couldn't be happier with my experience at Notorious For Hair. After moving to SF for a new job, I went to Notorious for my first cut. Rodney gave me a fantastic style! However, after my first week on the job, my boss (too... (more)
