Love This Salon – I love this hair salon!!!!!!!!! I really love the fact that the stylist have a great sense of creativity. Not only do they reccomend great new styles, but they find ones to match your look. Everyone in the salon is really hospitable and makes you feel very welcome. I feel as if this is my monthly therapy!!!!!! In my mind, a great saturday is going over to Tan Bella to get a great tan and ending up at Hair Play to make me look extra hot..... I am definently telling friends....

Annalese is the one! – I was recommended to see Analese for Thermal Hair Straightening and I am so glad to have found her! She is professional and very pleasant to spend the grueling 4 hours with. If you are searching for the right stylist who has lots of experience and never leaves your side to work on other clients, she's the one. I also found Amity to do my color and the two worked carefully together to make sure my hair was flawless!

Anica for color!!! – I was referred to Anicka (sp?) by a co-worker, and the girl is a true pro! Even a skeptic like me, is totally a convert after my amazing experience. She's got a great eye, great style, but best of all none of the attitude..she takes the time and you can tell she actually cares! She fixed my roomates botch job, my roomate and co-workers all are all singing her praises, need I say more? The price is a little more than I was used to, but I feel that it's worth it and will definately be back. Great salon too... read more

Be prepared to wait...and wait...and wait – I agree that Marty is good with cuts and color. However, he is CHRONICALLY late. My last appointment was at 10 on a Saturday morning. I was there on time, but he didn't come rolling in until 10:45. Then, he was so behind that he left me sitting under the dryer for an hour after the dryer had shut off. This is not how I like to spend a Saturday. Therefore, I will be saying goodbye to Hairplay and going off in search of a stylist who is talented AND professional.

User review by adiamg – I read a review on here where a girl called Marty a 'Hair God', I'm a recent convert. Marty did color & cut on my curly(!) hair. Unlike most stylists he didn't go straight for his sheres. He asked me what I was looking for & explained exactly how he was going to achieve it. I was there for several hours & I never left rushed. He was extremely patient & meticulous. I've shelled out an embarrassing amount of money going to high-end salons in the city looking for a good cut. Believe me when I say very fe... read more

A buzzing, creative zone for fashion-forward 'dos from practiced veterans and stylists-in-training. – In Short The offspring of a trendy Noe Valley salon and a Petaluma hair guru, this Castro outpost with black hardwood floors, original artwork and a waiting room punctuated with corrugated steel is a destination for individualistic cuts and colors from experienced stylists and up-and-coming academy students. All the usual services for tresses are on the menu here, as well as some surprising options, like Funky Punky stain co... read more

I like to call Marty "the hair god" – I have incredibly difficult hair, and it's been butchered by even very competent stylists. But then I met Marty at Hair Play. I am a very poor grad student, but save my pennies to spend a few hours in Marty's chair. My hair looks rockstar fabulous for weeks and months on end, and evokes tons of compliments. And even though my hair takes a long time to color and cut to get right, he is so dedicated to his art that rather than rush me through, he'll stay even well after closing time to do ... read more

magical haircuts – I have been circulating around San Francisco trying to find someone who can actually cut my hair and not butcher it. My hair is very tricky, and Matthew M. at Hairplay is abosolutely fantastic. Not only does he sing all types of tunes ranging from Gabrielle to Nelly, but he really knows hair. A great stylist. Really good shampoos too...and that's important.

Hair Play is the illest – I have had my daughter get her hair done by Fritz and he has always kept her looking fabulous. He always knows how to bringing out the best features in his clients male or female. I woiuld highly recomend that you book in great advance because of his client list. That should ring bells in your dome if you you know what I mean. Al B
