I finally found the ONE – I found Joseph from Headlights Hair Studio myself on city search. Whatever was said in the reviews - they were all accurate. Joseph saved my hair from the hairdressers before that only did what they wanted to do even when I said what I wanted. They didn't listen to me - and they were some of the best in the city - just as Joseph is. Joseph really listened and has given me exactly what I wanted now for 6 months and I love my hair every time. Whether it's just a cut or highlights. Joseph has been at s... read more

The Worst..! – I have never ever written a bad review. I was in S.F. over the weekend and found this salon through City Search. I found the prices were reasonable. The saying "you get what you pay for" is totally true. Let's start with the fact that I got there and I had to wait 15 minutes. I went in for a simple wash and dry.. And, I will not mention the name of the stylist because he was a nice person. BUT, he smothered my hair with product and some sort of spray WELL i had possibly the worst hair dry I've ever had in my l... read more

Richard Is My Hero! – I had been going to a stylist for years who wasn't doing anything creative with my style or color and I knew I needed a change. Headlights was recommended by a friend...Glenn has been cutting his hair for over 20 years. I made my first appointment with Richard...his expertise was working with long hair (mine was VERY long and badly in need of a cut) and highlights. Richard spent lots of time discussing what to do. I had an idea of what I wanted, but decided to give Richard free rein. As it turned out, h... read more

Joseph saved my hair!!! – After foolishly bleaching my own hair, not liking it, and then dyeing over it with what i thought would turn out to be a light brown color, my hair turned golden-orange. It looked disgusting. The next morning I called Joseph at Headlights (my roommate had recommended him), and he fit me in that day! Joseph was wonderful, incredibly professional, he didn't make me feel like an idiot for my mistake, and most importantly, my hair is now back to a natural-looking blonde. It looks great, doesn't feel tra... read more

orange roots are not highlights! – This was the second time I have been to this salon, the first time I was very satisfied. However, I recently went in for summer highlights and came out with orange roots with white spots. I told the stylist that summer is here, and I wanted highlights! Instead, he insisted on doing all over color and lightened my roots. Then he put a dark toner on it, which made everything worse. He said he did it that way to save money and time. I would pay $500 to not have orange roots and probably will h... read more

Best Trendy Neighborhood Salon in the city!!! – I love this salon! I recently moved to SF and had to rely on word of mouth to find a good salon. And this is a huge city, so you're taking a huge risk anywhere you go. But there is no risk involved with Headlights Hair Studio. Joseph, my stylist, was a great listener and very professional. In the first 5 minutes of talking to him I felt a sense of trust and knew that I would return. After a very-life altering and emotionally scarring hair cut and color from a Union Street salon... read more

I walked into Headlights in tears, and walked out with a smile! – I went to one of the other "trendy" places in the city with hair that came midway down my back. My hair was a natural red, and looked fine. When I walked out of that "trendy" place, my hair was purple with grey/white streaks that were uneven and just UGLY! He cut my hair so short and round that my head looked like a purple basketball. I was in hair hell! The next day, I made an appointment with Headlights. When I walked in, I think Joseph could tell that I was... read more
