Pros: EVERYTHING

Posted 05/12/09

I recently visited San Francisco badly in need of a haircut. I did some internet research and had already included Level 4 Salon on my "short list" of salons to check out once I got to the city, initially because of it's location. I visited Level 4 and felt immediately comfortable enough to scrap visits to the other 2 salons on my list. I made an appointment with Leticia (I hope I'm getting that right!) for the next day. I could not be any more pleased with the cut and style that she gave me. I had been growing my hair out for more than a year, even though I'd never had long hair before. Needless to say, it was a mess when I walked in. Leticia listened to what I thought I was looking for, discussed her recommendations with me, and gave me the MOST FABULOUS cut and style I've had in ?? years! In addition, she took the time to make sure I understood what to do with my hair once I got home, and my hair has looked great ever since! She was easy to talk to, very professional in everything she did, and even made a great restaurant recommendation! I even had a fantastic evening with my new hairstyle at the recommended restaurant. Without hesitation, I can honestly offer my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a salon in San Francisco. You couldn't do any better than Leticia! (I'm sorry if I'm spelling your name wrong!)

Pros: Leticia is Fantastic

Cons: It WON'T cost an arm + leg

Just in case there are any other guys/gals like me who changed their contact info and therefore lost track of Kwandee after he left the Level 4 Salon, he is now at the Frange Blue Salon @ 760 Market St. *PLEASE NOTE* Frange Blue does not have a receptionist so you'll want to call Kwandee's number directly (instead of tracking him down in person like I did, hey, I was desperate!). His number is (415) 602-6204. . I almost tried another stylist when I lost track of Kwandee, but quickly continued the search for him when I recalled my previous hair color experiences before I found him (he?s the best ? over 20 years experience with color and really listens to what you want!). Hopefully, if there are any other ?lost souls,? they will see this email.

Posted 05/03/09

This place is really perfect for those who really want a new haircut/hairstyle. They are really good. They are also very friendly and knows what style is good for you. They will guide you. Your money is worth it. Five stars!

Posted 04/27/09

Wow what a wonderful place to get your hair done!!! I had been searching for a new stylist for about a month since i had just moved from the east coast. I had been to one place previous to Level 4 and the effed up my hair BAD!!! So after reading the great reviews about this place i decided to call and i booked with Julie. That woman worked absolute WONDERS on my hair!!!!! I was so happy to have found someone who could make me look fab again (which at one point i though impossible!) and my hair had never looked better!!! I refered my best friend to her and she loved her hair as well and is now a lifetime client!!! I unfortunately have moved again but as soon as i get back to SF Julie is the first person i'll be calling!!!!!

Pros: Great location, clean, bright, friendly stylist, GOOD hair!!

Cons: zilch!

Posted 04/22/09

I want to recommend Kwandee , who has now moved from Level 4 to Blend salon downstairs from level4.
He is amazing. He listens. He gets who you are. He is absolutely dedicated to getting both the cut and the color right for you. You will never want anyone else to touch your hair!

Posted 03/07/09

I had long hair (for a man) that i had been growing out from a previous bad haircut and i really wanted a change. My stylist was nice and she listened to what i wanted!! It's hard to find a good stylist and i'm glad i went here. It's a bit on the pricey side for a man's haircut but well worth it!!! Will be back!

Pros: Nice Staff, Good Haircut, Clean Salon

Cons: Pricey but worith it

Posted 02/28/09

I have several friends that go to this salon and have suggested I give it a try, my stylist of 10 years recently moved and I have been afraid to venture out into the scary world of new salon shopping! I got a Saturday appointment and about a million times thought I might run! I changed my mind once I was greeted and offered a glass of wine! The music was pretty cool too! My stylist made me feel really comfortable and showed me excatly the shades she was planning for my new look.... AMAZING color! I am so happy and have (for the first time ever) been stopped on the street! I must agree blondes have more fun , now that I am one!!!!! The cut was just a trim nothing really exciting but the blowout was nice and I had lots of volume. I will be back!

Posted 02/26/09

I was looking for a new stylist as my stylst simply left town no word, no forwarding salon, etc which is really a shame because I absolutely loved her! I went onto Citysearch and checked many salons before deciding to give this salon a try. I am sorry I did! After I read all of the great reviews on here, I was lead to believe this salon would rank as one of the best in the city, boy was I wrong! I had my appointment with Brandin. We made small talk, I asked him how long he had been doing hair, he answered a couple of years (that should have been my first clue as to how this experience was to end up!) The whole feel of the salon was cheap and was too casual and lacked energy (border-line unprofessional) there wasn't even a receptionist when I walked in(the place was empty), and once She did she wasn't very polite, she seemed bored and unhappy at just being there. I had my hair highlighted and cut by this stylist, (Brandin) he gave me a choppy haircut that one of my relatives or my husband could have done a better job at doing(for free!) and the highlights looked more like tiger stripes(I had told him during our consultation that I wanted a very natural look) that is not what I got! The color was also canary yellow, I suggested we put a color over the highlights and even after that it still looked bad. All I can say is people avoid this place! too many positive reviews are or should be suspicious (perhaps they are writing some of their own reviews?) and my question to this business is.....who at this salon was awarded best of Citysearch for not one but 2 or 3 years in a row?! as Brandin was the only one doing hair while I was there for 3 hours +! I sure wished I had that stylist(the one that got voted Best of Citysearch, if they in fact exist?) do my hair instead of how I ended up looking like! Never again!

Pros: Can't think of one positive thing to say honestly!

Cons: Untrained stylist, empty salon,lacking energy,over-priced, neighborhood questionable(not Union Square!) Impolite

Posted 02/23/09

I was traveling to San Francisco and looked up online to see which salon was recommended. I came across this one over and over so I booked an appointment. First clue that this place sucked - NO CUSTOMERS!! I was there for almost 2 1/2 hours. There were three stylists and I was the ONLY customer. One of the stylist actually gave the other stylist a haircut while I was there. I was getting a touch up with color and hi-lights and she pulled so hard on my hair the entire time - I've never experienced that. My stylist was very chatty and friendly but not a great stylist. I came home with really brassy hi-lights so I don't think she used toner on it to set it properly. Then we talked about trimming my ends and she ended up taking off way TOO much!! The water they used to rinse my hair was HOT only until they finally got that figured out. To finish it all off I walked back to my hotel with dye all over my forehead.

You might know someone who works there and is really good but I didn't get her - if you are just trying a new salon out - DONT GO HERE!!

Pros: close to hotel

Cons: expensive for bad styling

Posted 02/10/09

I've had my hair done by Julie for over 10 years now. I foloow her whereever she goes. She gives me fresh, updated looks that are easy to care for and grow out well. I leave the color up to her and often get asked "where do you get your hair done?" or "I love that color!" If you want contemporary style with a lot of managability, then definitely make time to check her out!

Pros: Fun and Funky Atmosphere

Posted 01/04/09

As always Citysearch is right again! Julie. the stylist that did my hair at Level 4 Salon was AMAZING! First of all, she has been in the business for a long time and truly understands both HAIR and COLOR! She listened to me and worked magic with my curly fine hair. I received several compliments by the guys in my office already! - (go figure!) Thanks Julie you are the bomb! I will be going back to see Julie at Level 4 Salon in 6 weeks for another fantastic haircut and the best color in SF!!!

Pros: professionalism, ability, talent

Posted 11/17/08

I promised my haircutter I would write him a review, sorry it's taken so long! I first started seeing Len when he owned his own salon (I first started seeing him 3 years ago there!) I went as a test project for my girlfriend (she was looking for someone as well) and Len passed the test. Before I was pretty much used to going to supercuts or a barber, until I (correction, We) found Len! Simply put the guy gets it. He knows how to cut some mean hair! Whether it be a classic men's or military style(he doesn't use clippers, but he scissor over combs the cut old school style!) or trendy longer layered men's cuts, Len's your guy! My girlfriend always looks amazing after a visit with Len too. So if you are looking for an awesome mens' cut or amazing women's cut he's your guy! Thanks Man! You're the Bomb!

Pros: Skill! Evening appts avail, Nice location, small salon, cute. Wine,

Cons: you can't put a tip on credit card(for Len) but cash,check cool, a litlte pricey But I'm worth it and so is my girl!

Posted 08/17/08

I followed Len to this salon after going to him at his own salon for 6 years, he closed it a few month's ago and I still miss it! I was so bummed out about him closing that beautiful space! This salon is nice, but the best part is that I still get to see my fabulous stylist Len. I found Len originally on CitySearch and have been going to him ever since. I love the way he layers my hair just right (not choppy) more blended and the highlights he creates are simply amazing! He uses 3 colors on my hair for a natural look and the best part about it is I don't even need to go in after 6 weeks because the color still looks good (that's how good he is!) While I miss his old salon (Utopia ) I followed him here and would follow him anywhere! Ok, well maybe not to Alaska! Seriously Ladies do yourself a favor and see this amazing stylist and colorist! He is a creative hair genious!

Pros: Nice location(by all the art galleries!) Skill level high! Good lighting! Evening appointments

Cons: Tips are asked in cash or check, a bit pricey but worth it! Nothing else

Posted 08/13/08

I have lived in San Francisco for over 20 years and during that time have had my hair cut and colored at many different salons, the the super high end to the corner barber. I have been getting my hair done here for over a year and am very happy with both my cut and color. Great Service I recommend visiting this salon.

Posted 07/10/08

Not sure how salons are rated on citysearch but this one is way over rated and out of line !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Imade my apt. based on reviews from citysearch . however i was disappointed from the moment i walked in . the place was empty and quite i was the only person in there . no warm greeting i was rushed in my consultation he didn't listen to what i wanted . in result my highlights are far too blonde without any tone ,texture or lowlights . it's just white blonde without any depth and my hair is damaged as a result ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,NOT RECOMMENEDED

Posted 07/04/08

Growing up in San Francisco, I was usually treated to a $20 cut at a friend's salon that left me feeling as if the stylist didn't understand what I wanted. Aside from the usual trim, I once had my hair layered at her salon, and she destroyed my hair and gave me split ends. For four years after, I grew my hair out to about 3 feet in length (crazy, I know) because I wanted to donate hair, but keep it long. When I finally decided to cut my hair, I searched for the best salon according to reviews and price; Level Four exceeded my expectations when I received not only an amazing cut, but a shampoo and blow-dry ( I was used to spray bottles of water and coarse combs.) The stylist listened to what I wanted, and cut my hair perfectly; it was really manageable, light, and practical. I told her I liked to keep all my hair at a length that allowed me to tie it up into a ponytail; she kept the layered front pieces that length while also framing my face. She was also a great conversationalist.

Posted 06/29/08

I was never completely satisfied with my hair until I went to Kwandee. He has been coloring and cutting my hair for a year and each time I go I am 100% happy. My husband says my hair has never looked better. Kwandee takes his time and does an amazing job. He got the color just right. I highly recommend Kwandee if you are looking for a new stylist in San Francisco. You won't be disappointed.

Posted 06/24/08

Kwandee was amazing! He listened to exactly what I wanted, made suggestions based on my daily hair routine, and gave me a whole bunch of tips for how to style and take care of my hair. He also was really great to talk to and was overall incredibly friendly and welcoming. I loved how my hair turned out - it was the first time that I've left a salon without my hair being pumped full of product and hairgel, as he wanted to be sure to mimic my daily routine. The receptionist was also really nice. Great experience, look forward to going back!

Posted 06/03/08

I saw NOUSHIN forthe first time for my cut and color she gave me amazing highligth that looks very natural with dimansion and just the perfect shade .and for my cut i was ready for a change and she made it happen she listen to what i wanted and suggested the perfect cut for my face and highlights i just love it .i get noting but compliments all the time .who new getting your hair done could be so much fun she is also lots of fun and super creative i told her i will go to what ever salon she moves to

Posted 05/12/08

I have decided to write a review about my stylist Leticia @ Level 4 Salon. I started going to Level 4 after reading the reviews and because my friend and I wanted to find a nice, classy place to go to in the city. After my first haircut in 2004, I was hooked! I have been going to Leticia for the past 3+ years and won't let anyone else touch my coif. She has great experience and is very knowledgeable about haircare. Every time I go, I know that I am going to walk out looking fabulous! I used to go to a salon in Oakland and I had to plan to be there for about 5 hours just to get a cut, wash and blowout! My stylist at that time would work on 3 other clients along with myself at the same time! At Level 4, I am out in an hour and she only attends to me during that time. I never have a problem booking an appointment and the rest of the staff is great! If you are looking for a great salon in San Francisco, go to Level 4!!!!!!!

Pros: Great staff and services

Cons: I can't think of any

Posted 05/09/08

I am way overdue in writing a review for one Ms. Letisha Hill. I am not big on writing reviews, spending time on myspace, facebook, yelp and the like, but it's time I give credit where credit is due. Letisha is one of the most amazing, versatile, and talented stylists around! She's been my stylist for over 10 years and I am a big fan on both a professional and personal level. I take no pride in saying that I am probably one of her most difficult clients - calling at the last minute to get an appointment, fidgeting in the chair, chatting everyone up and yet she still excepts my calls! :) From relaxers, braids, weaves, my lovely wedding day hair, and everything you can imagine - I come in a hot mess and leave just plain hot. Who can go from blonde highlights to a fierce hair weave? I tell you who...Letisha "Sugar" Hill can. Thanks Letisha!

Posted 05/05/08

I went to Level 4 to get my hair highlighted. Noushin did a GREAT job on the highlights. I have had my hair done by Noushin at least 6 times. the last going dark. Due to me trying to color my hair my self. Never again. I love level 4 and Noushin also is the only one i let cut my hair. I have never been dedicated to going to a place for a haircut or color before I found noushin at Level 4.

Pros: Great place to have your hair done

Cons: parking

Posted 05/01/08

I have no idea why this Level 4 Salon was a citysearch winner! I decided to make an appointment for a cut and highlight here after reading such rave reviews. I was scheduled with Noushin, who I was told was "One of our best stylists". For starters, this place is a converted apartment unit, not exactly the decor and location I would expect from a respected salon who charges clients about $150.00 for a partial highlight! Absurd! As I sat in my chair I watched in confusion and somewhat terror as Noushin randomly placed foils on my head. Absolutely no strategy to her coloring madness, just random foil placement all over my crown. She ran out of solution twice and had to run to the back room to mix more, leaving me there to stare at this Medusa mess of foils and tangled hair. As she began to wash my hair out, she realized that they did not book enough time for her to cut my hair! I asked her if she could at least dry my hair which she kindly did. After drying my hair, uncombed, then raking through the tangles creating even more damage, I saw what the hell had happened to my hair!!! Tiger stripes, spots, roots, you name it, this was one of the worst highlight jobs I have ever paid for in my life! I was appauled!! I paid for my over priced Lion King highlight job and left that disgusting excuse of a salon forever. There was no way I was going back to that mess for a correction! I've since then, paid over $350 in corrections and I have one more trip to go in order to erase the track marks in my hair from an amateur stylist. Citysearch salon recommendations have failed myself and my friends in the past, I was not about to go back and read any more damn reviews. I decided to go to a professional salon that could fix my damaged hair no matter what the cost. If you want a good colorist, go to Joseph Cozza salon. You get what you pay for, and when it comes to fixing a bad hair job, the cost doesnt seem to matter that much anymore.

Pros: None

Cons: Everything

Posted 04/28/08

I spent forever trying to find someone who could do a FABULOUS job on my highlights and do a FABULOUS cut/style on my hair. After a year of horrible salon visits in SF, I found that KWANDIE and BRANDON at level4 have the whole package.

I first went to the salon in '07- 2 weeks before my wedding! I was desperate to find someone who could make my hair look NORMAL. I was so nervous. Kwandie did such a great job on my highlights and Brandon did such a great job on my cut. They listened to exactly what I wanted and also gave me tips as to how to keep my hair looking great inbetween visits. I've always highlighted my hair and have been waiting to find a salon that does a great job-everytime, with no BS.

Each time I've been to Level4, both Kwandie and Brandon do an amazing job and I feel like a million bucks when I leave!

My vote goes to Kwandie for the best highlights in SF and to Brandon for the best shampoo, cut AND style.

Posted 04/15/08

I went to get my hair cut with Noshin. She has hagic hands! I like my hair style. She listens carefully, takes it to a whole new level. I am going back there to do highlight as well. Thank you Noshin!

Pros: Great Haircut, Friendly salon, Great Price

Cons: N/A

Posted 04/09/08

I had to have my layers trimmed and when I called for a quote I was told it could cost about $50 bucks. That sounded cheap for such a well-reviewed salon, so I made an appointment. I got one on short notice, but it was early in the morning and the stylist seemed really ticked to be there so early, and she didn't speak to me (besides asking what I wanted) until 30-45 minutes into the haircut. I showed her how much I wanted cut from the layers but later I noticed that she was barely cutting anything off my hair. I thought maybe her initial trim was just a first step, but when she gave me the mirror to see the cut, she said she was done. I thought she was just getting started! I expressed this to her, and said I wanted it shorter, and she said to just wait until she blow-dried it. I did NOT feel confident enough to ask her to keep trimming, and my hair looked the same, if not just a little bit worse since instead of having long long hair with split ends I had shorter hair with too-long layers.

To top it off, they charged me $75 for the cut, and the look on her face was almost like a dare to contest it. I would have been so happy to pay the price if it was what I asked for and if I had not been treated rudely, as if I did not know what I wanted.

Pros: The receptionist was really nice, but unfortunately, she wasn't the stylist

Posted 02/16/08

Although it cost more than I may feel comfortable paying, it was WELL worth it. The atmosphere was warm and unpretentious and the service was impeccable. My stylists name is Zeon. He was absolutely fabulous. He applied a semi-perm color and told me it would last about 3 weeks. Well, it's been a month or maybe longer and the color is nearly as vibrant as the day he applied it. I attest that to the extra care he took in applying heat and just having the experience to know when it was ready. This was my first time and although I may wait a little longer to get serviced, it certainly will NOT be my last.

Pros: Great all around!

Cons: cost

Posted 02/15/08

I loooove my new hair .i used to see NOOSHI in her old salon PATRICK EVEN .but i was out of the city when she made her move .i have been looking for her for a while now so finally i rememberd the name of her old salon .they told me she was at level 4 now .so i decided to visit her again for my hair cut and highlights.she is sooooo gtreat meticulous .that I just had to write quik review to share with you all how professional she is in what she dose and how happy i'm to have her as my stylist again my cut and color looks sooooo beatiful my heavy hair feels so light and great and soooo easy to style the high lights are rich and gorgeus .

Posted 02/11/08

To all fabulous people looking for LETISHA, I have moved to a NEW SALON called FRANGE BLUE SALON and it's just off the square! I am no longer at level4salon. please call #415-299-2461 for all appointments. Thank you.

Letisha

Posted 02/11/08

I just saw Level 4s reply to my "Worst Haircut ever" comment, and i can assure everyone that it was Letisha who cut and colored my hair. There is even a picture of her on the website, on the video. Please do not insult my intelligence, I went to here a few times (6 to be exact), so of course I know who i am talking about. I stand by my earlier comments, though, it was the worst hair experience ever.

Pros: None

Cons: Way too expensive for terrible haircut

Posted 02/10/08

So I've been to a few other salons around Union Square, and haven't been too impressed with the level of service, nor quality of work. But at Level 4 Salon, I've been very impressed with the quality of work Brandon has done. The salon is upscale but not at all pretentious like a few other salons down the block. This place is very comfortable to be in. I've been here a couple of times and I always come out in love with my new haircut/color. Brandon knowns how to listen to what your needs are in a cut and will spend that extra time perfecting everything. He is great at what he does! On top of all this, he gives the best head message I have ever gotten from a stylist. I think i finally found a great stylist I can rely on for amazing hair!

Posted 02/07/08

This was a very experience I must admit. I was a little apprehensive being that I am trying someone new. I'm pretty sure a lot of people can relate to this. You really don't know what you will come across when you are trying a new hair stylist. I wanted to get my hair colored because my hair turns gray at the temple really bad. So first I was asked what did I want. And when I answered this question I was relieved to find out that Delkia was in fact listening. She then informed me to consider my skin tone and my age. I am not be compete with my daughter and her girlfriends. I do want something age appropiate. She also wanted me to consider the time of year. Winter is darker shades she informed me. Uh-huh. I thought. Needless to say I am very pleased with the outcome of my new color. Also I asked for a trim and guess what, I received a trim. Not a cut. She actually knows the difference. How wild is that. I will definitely be seeing her again. She is wonderful and very pleasant.

Pros: A stylist that looks at you as an individual. Not one style fits all.

Cons: parking

Posted 01/10/08

She is the absolute best. Color, she does it. Cut, she does it. Perm, you've got it. She is very talented. I have referred my mom, daughter and niece to her. They all love her too. I want her to try out for Sheer Genius. She is really that good. And most of all she fits the hair to your lifestyle and personality. Its not a one hair style for all.

Pros: She listens

Cons: parking in San Francisco

Posted 01/10/08

I've been going to Kwande at Level 4 for a year and he's absolutely fantastic. He's never in a rush and always spends a long time deciding what I want and changes as I also change what I like over time. He truly is talented and great to spend the hours with as he's just a great guy. I've spent a lot of $$ on my hair on various cities and he is really the best. He's great with hair color. I get mine to be blonde but never want it too blond. He makes it look natural yet outstanding all at once. Same with my cut - I want something really stylish with chopping my hair and he's done cuts with my hair I didn't know I could do.

Great guy. Absolutely fantastic talent. Great price.

Pros: Talent. Ambience. Price. Reasonable to schedule.

Cons: None

Posted 01/07/08

I have been seeing (NOOSHI) for a while now .for my cut and high light and i just love her work and the way she makes me feel . every time i leave the salon i just cann't stop looking in the mirror or touching my hair . i have dark long hair that can feel very heavy at times .she artfully high lights my hair with rich shiny beautiful colors that i just love. and i get soooooo many compeliments on .and my hair cut feels light and great soooooo easy for me to style .i just wanted for you all to know that .since that is how i found her

Posted 12/24/07

I had been considering having my hair colored for some time. The seed was planted about 10 years ago in Georgia by my flamboyant, yet to-the-point, stylist/barber, who decribed the color and even distribution of my grey as "that seen on most rodents". Even though I didn't take his advice, the description remained, branded into my memory.

Recently I began re-exploring the idea of coloring my hair. I was encouraged by some to do so, mostly friends who saw the grey as a contrast to my still thirty-something energy. My family, on the other hand, were not so enthusiastic. After all, I am the only male among my siblings still blessed with a full, thick head of hair. I was told how distinguished I looked. Well, Raymond Massey looked distinguished, too. But I don't particularly want to look like Raymond Massey. Not yet, anyway. And I damned sure don't want to look like a rodent.

So last week I made an appointment at Level 4. I was aware that it was a little pricier than I was accustomed to paying for hair care, but I figured if I was going to make a decision on whether or not coloring my hair was a mistake, I needed to have a good job done on which to base my decision. An attractive young woman named Del was assigned the task, and I must say I could not be more pleased with the outcome. The color was so near the existing shade of brown that most of my co-workers only noticed the superb scissor cut. And when I asked if they noticed anything else different, the predominent response after giving me the once-over was "You shaved...?". Unbelievable. My beautiful girlfriend loves my new crown, too. And she's not easily impressed.

Therefore, I give Level 4 a five-star rating and a big 2 thumbs up to my new stylist/colorist Del. The experience was pleasurable and the desired results achieved. And my new look is more of a refection of what I feel within. What more could you ask for?

Posted 12/20/07

It has been six months since my last haircut. I normally go to local barbers in my neighborhood, but I wanted to try something new, something down town and trendy. As I entered Level 4 Salon, I was greeted and served coffee. I discussed to Delkia my likes and dislikes about my hair, routine hair care, what I wanted, and what her ideas were. Delkia was very friendly, answered all my questions, and made great suggestions. The end result was perfect; exactly what I wanted. My hair looked healthy and shiny. Less then 5 min after I left the salon, I got a compliment on my hair by a stranger. Thank you Delkia!

Posted 12/18/07

I had my hair colored and highlighted by Kwandee and I loved it! I just moved here not too long ago and I was really stressed about finding a good place to get my hair done. I love to change up my hair and he knew exactly what to do for me! He really listened to what I was hoping to have and I was very pleased with the outcome! I have gone to him twice now and I will definitely go again. He knows what he's doing and he'll make sure you're happy and relaxed!

I booked an appointment for my girlfriend, who hadn't had a professional cut and color for some time. We were just visiting San Francisco for a few days, and I read many of the reviews for Level 4. My girlfriend was very taken with the staff, and her stylist (and colorist), Nancy. The work that Nancy performed was not only very professional, but her style and work manner helped relax my girlfriend (who is generally very concerned that stylists don't listen to her). I was very impressed with everyone on the staff. I would highly recommend Level 4.

Pros: Very professional, conveniently located

I was in San Francisco for the first time and wanted to go to a really nice place to get my hair cut. I found Level 4 online and saw that it has high ratings, and was affordable for San Fran prices. My plane ended up being delayed, so I called to let them know I would be a few minutes late. The receptionist on the phone was completely fine with it, giving me adequate directions for my first time in the city. The people there made me feel like a long time customer. Once I got there they treated me to a much needed glass of water and coffee for my girlfriend. Brandon spent an hour and a half on my hair! He was so precise with every cut he made, a perfectionist in his own right. He was also very down-to-earth and pleasant to talk to. I felt he could've went a little further with my hair, I wanted a more drastic change and maybe I should've explained that to him more. After the cut he gave me a small discount on the price and once I move to the city I will plan on going to Level 4 for future cuts.

Nanci rocks! She's an expert colorist and hairstylist. Her consultation is so thorough that you actually get what you want! The salon is a nice welcoming place as well. It's well worth the $$.

Pros: not a snobby "scene"

Brandon made me feel incredibly comfortable and the haircut he gave me not only looked great when I walked out, it looked great when I had to style it myself (which is pretty much wash and wear). I went from "mom" to me again and lost 10 years in the process. Amazing.
