Kimberly Long Wak Shack

I would have given the wak shack five stars had it been on my past experience, however this week I went and was very disappointed. I had been in and seen Simon before he left the salon and was very satisfied and excited with how he did my hair. He recommended I go to Filomena or Kat after he left. I saw Filomena and I found her hair cutting very similar to Simon's, very specific to my hair, face shape and very meticulous. I left feeling very good about my haircut and myself. I went and saw Kat this week, and was unimpressed. Although she was very nice and easy to talk to, her technique was far below that of the other stylists I had seen. My hair is now too short and not in a style I particularly like. I can't wait for my hair to grow out, which is not the way I wished to feel leaving the salon. I wanted to leave wishing my hair wouldn't grow too fast so that it would look that good for a while, like I had on my previous visits.

I have never gotten anything but awesome haircuts here! I have been going here for a few years and have used Erin, Simon and Kendra and they have all done excellent jobs. I have given the most general of descriptions and they have always given me exactly what I wanted and then some. Sadly Simon, who was my most current hairdresser, is no longer there but I had the opportunity or working with Kendra and she rocks! I think that was the best hair cut I have ever got! Look no further this is the best place in San Francisco!

Pros: Fun people, great ambience, highly skilled hairstylists
Cons: NOTHING!

I love this place. I travel from the East Bay to go here, which anyone who drives the Bay Bridge at 5pm knows how hard this can be, but it is definitely worth it. I have been going here for over 6 years now, and i have never had a bad experience here. Every stylist does quality work, is SUPER friendly, and knows what they are doing. They do amazing color, fabulous extensions, and the best Updo's around. Many of my friends have gone here to get their wedding hair done, as well as their entire bridal party. I even got my boyfriend hooked on this place. Very relaxing atmosphere, as well as kick butt music, and you'll get the best haircut of your life. Come check out this place. Its the bees knees!

Pros: great knowledgeable staff
Cons: parking can be hard, but where is SF isn't!

I explained to the man what I wanted very thoroughly and he reassured me that he would give me a cool, hip cut. I left with a hair cut that looked exactly the same as when I came but shorter. Very disappointed.

I had always seen this salon when I was walking by and thought it looked cute from the outside. When I finally went in for the first time I was amazed at how big the place actually was, with three rooms including a full service esthetician room and also patio in back.
The hair cut I had by Simon was one of the best I've ever gotten. I'm trying to grow my hair out but it was definatly time for a trim and he was great about giving me a new shape and hip style that will grow out nicely (without looking shaggy!) Filomena did my color fabulously, I have three colors in my hair and she did a great job making everything look bright and vivid and kept the colors from bleeding together. She was very funny and friendly as well. I also have seen Kendra for a blowout style for a special occasion and she did such a good job. She realloy listened to me and gave me exactilly what I wanted.
For the esthetician work I have seen both Heather and Grace for various waxing procedures and I have to say they are both fantastic. Very gentle and professional which is great..especailly if it's your first time!
As a whole my experiences at the WAK Shack are always fun and I leave looking ready for the runway! THANKS WAK SHACK!!!!

Pros: Great music, friendly staff, they'll even bring you food from the coffe shop accross the street
Cons: sometimes hard to make appointment...they're busy! Call ahead....
