Good cuts, good advice. Nice people. Relaxed and unpretentious 
Nice little Lower Haight hair place giving you style without pretense. What's not to love? Even when I was struggling to grow my hair out they offered me excellent support and interim cuts that kept me from looking like a freak during the worst of it. Prices are within reason. Not had a bad cut yet. Ask for Monica!

Not Sacrificing Quality
Coming from southern California, I don't find the haircuts at all expensive at zip zap. I feel quality and great styles are hard to find when you have curly hair, so I was initially cautious about having Monica as my stylist. However, she turned my hippie turned hair into a really modern city chic look for which I received numerous compliments.
I can't vouch for all haircuts, but if you are someone like me, who is sick of drabby curly hair that you always want to straighten or tame from turning into a big ball of wonder, than zip zap is great. I have been going to Monica for about a year now, and each time she changes the style with how I have become and what I am feeling like looking. Your hair style should exemplify the sort of look you are wearing clotheswise, and having curly hair shouldn't refrain you from getting a great cut, so I definitely am a happy loyal customer and would recommend going to zip zap any day!
PROS: great mellow atmosphere, easy to get appointments
CONS: not for those wishing for a 20 dollar cheap cut.

At least its cheap 
I had my hair died and asked me questions like " is it OK if the color doesn't go all the way too your roots?" Uh - no, it's not okay. So they did it and yep. The dye didn't go to the grey roots, whick makes me wonder why dye yor hair at all? Or at least why dye your hair at this place, because you will just have to go somewhere else!

Zip Zap Hair 
Zip Zap Hair is a trendy and lively salon with talented and innovative stylists. If you are looking for a color or just a great cut it is the place to go. The costs for color and cut are a little high, but it is really worth it. As my mother put it, you wear your hair everyday, it is worth the investment. I would recommend James, he is great with color.

Cut that suits you
Since I've been getting so many compliments on my new hair cut, I wanted to share the name of Mr Supercut: James @ Zip Zap. He's not cheap, but he knows his job. He was trained in Ireland and has been a hairdresser for 11 years. Highly recommended
PROS: extremely good
CONS: quite expensive

best hair
i did it and i feel so dirty, but i look fantastic!! after 10 years with my hairdresser (whom i loved and swore was the best) i cheated on her with another stylist. do i feel guilty? yes. was it worth it? many times, yes.
i don't care who does your hair now. dump them and run straight into the chair of the sublimely talented TARA.
send your old stylist a bunch of flowers with thanks for the good times you shared and move on. tara's nimble and talented scissors will make your old stylist's work look like it was done with meat cleavers.

Fast, inexpensive hair salon
Zip Zap is great, love the atmosphere and the decor. Everyone in there is uber friendly. Mike's cut my hair twice now - both times I was in and out in under 30 minutes and my hair looked great! It's very reasonably priced compared to the shee shee salons. And you don't have to wait 6 months to get an appointment!
Pros: Price, atmosphere, people
Cons: None

Bad Stylist - don't know what they are doing
Went their for the first time last week to have my haircut. Although the stylist was nice and seem like she knew what I wanted, I ended up with a terrible haircut. When I made the appointment, I explained I needed someone who really knew how to cut fine hair. Half-way through styling my hair the stylist could tell I was not happy, it look like some kind of white trash cut, so what does she do, chops away at it more.
Now everyday, I have to use a curling iron on my short hair to cover up the bad job. It will be at least six months before I can do anything with it. I just about want to cry. I will never go there again. Why are their so many bad stylists in SF?
I can't say I was impressed with any of the other cuts that were being done by the other stylists.
Pros: Location
Cons: No skills, bad cuts
