I moved to San Francisco two years ago but always struggled to find a hair stylist that was affordable and could give me a satisfying haircut. I was so desperate for a good cut that I’d fly back home to Texas any time I needed one. Needless to say, I am so, SO happy that I found Headprint and Chadd. He is kind, listens well, and delivers exactly what you want. I also love the ambiance of the salon — everyone is warm and welcoming. Here’s to my two year search for a stylist coming to an end. 🥂 Thank you, Chadd and Headprint!!

Chaad is so amazing. I’d been seeing someone for like 9 years but needed to upgrade my salon experience. I was worried to try someone new but Chaad did such an exceptional job on my blonde hair 10/10 highly recommend

I got a cut with Rainey and it came out so good! They were so nice and communicative throughout the whole process, I definitely plan to come back.


Jan 22, 2025

I got a scissor cut from Rainey and it was a great experience! I’m in the process of growing out my short, super-processed style and I needed guidance on how to best proceed. He listened carefully to my needs and concerns and gave me a great cut. On top of that, he was super friendly and easy to talk to and we had a great conversation! It was a great experience all around, I’ll def be back.


Jan 22, 2025

I've been getting my hair done here for a couple years now and I can't see myself going anywhere else. Mick is an amazing stylist and he always understands what I'm going for!

I wanted to support queer hairstylists and finally bite the bullet and get a mullet, and I’m glad I chose to do so with Rainey! Rainey asked great questions, listened to what I wanted, and checked in a lot during the cut to make sure I liked where things were going. The cut was super cute and choppy/textured, like I envisioned.


Jan 15, 2025

Rainey gave me a great haircut, took their time to make sure I was getting the cut I wanted, and made me feel at home. Highly recommend!

Booking online was easy. I booked with Chadd after seeing some great reviews here. I honestly didn’t give much direction for the cut (I only knew that I wanted a trim while still keeping most the length, and let him know that I don’t really style or blow dry), but he took what I gave and I left leaving super happy! Been a few weeks and still satisfied with the much-needed trim. I also appreciate that he didn’t force small talk either- seems he’s good at picking up the vibe of what the client prefers :) thank you so much for the excellent cut and I look forward to getting my color done here the next time!!


Jan 05, 2025

Got a haircut from Rainey and loved the experience! They gave me a clipper and scissor cut and did great with both. I have curly hair (3A-3B) and usually end up with either a nice fade or scissor cut but Rainey managed to do both. The additional shampoo and styling really tied it all together. 10/10 would recommend!


Jan 05, 2025

I was looking for a new hairdresser and came to Chadd because of all the AMAZING reviews. They do not lie. He did an incredible job with my color and then was a great consultant on deciding what to do next. He goes out of his way at every chance he gets, even special ordered supplies for a beach wave perm! The studio has a good vibe and I love being treated to Aveda tea.


Jan 05, 2025

Rainey was great! Loving my cut and loved the conversation too.


Jan 05, 2025

very good cut, thanks again!

As a longtime San Francisco local, I’ve experienced top-notch hair services throughout the city, but Chadd at Headprint Studio truly stands out. Here’s why: • Unmatched Expertise: Chad’s passion for cutting and coloring is clear (he even hums while coloring), turning each session into a masterpiece. The epitome of intrinsic motivation at work? Chadd! • Confidence Boost: I leave the salon feeling more confident every time, knowing he genuinely listens and strives to meet my every request. • Beyond Exceptional: If I could give him 10 out of 5 stars, I would. His service exceeds any expectations. • Great Vibe: Not only is Chad incredibly skilled, but he’s also genuinely sweet and a pleasure to chat with. Also- the salon is conveniently located near Union Street: grab a shake at Earthbar or Turkish coffee before the service. Highly recommend Chadd!

Caroline has been cutting, coloring, and styling my hair for over 10 years, and she’s amazing! She really listens to what I want and always delivers exactly the look I’m hoping for. I leave every appointment feeling beautiful. On top of being incredibly talented, she’s also super cool and easy to talk to. Anyone looking for a stylist who knows their stuff should book with Caroline.


Dec 05, 2024

Chadd was so excellent and could not have done a better job. I haven’t had a real haircut in awhile and I did not feel judged at all. Hes someone you can commit to hehe. My hair hasn’t looked better. Hes so gentle and Headprint has a calm environment where everyone is respectful and I’m able to relax.


Dec 05, 2024

Every time I walk into Headprint I am welcomed in the warmest way. Teddy makes everyone feel like family. It’s the best! I had a service with Caroline who is a literal hair wizard. I asked for blonde blonde blonde (is there anything else?) with a freshen up cut with layers. Its was gorgeous and was still giving gorge for months after my visit. SoCal is where I live but SF is where my heart is and I will let only Caroline coif me. She’s been my stylist for 10 years and will continue to be fo lyfe. If you're in need of product I always pick up my aveda faves in the salon and then stroll around the corner for coffee and Sephora for the perfect day ☀️ I love Headprint 🩷 Thank you Caroline!

Headprint Studio is where hair magic happens, and Avo is the magician who makes it all look effortless. As a 40-year-old guy who refuses to settle for anything less than sexy, I can confidently say Avo has me looking sharper than ever. He’s got this incredible ability to understand exactly what you want, even when you’re only half sure yourself, and somehow makes it even better than you imagined. The vibe at Headprint is fun, fresh, and just the right mix of trendy and welcoming. Avo’s wit and charm keep the conversation flowing, and his talent ensures you leave looking like the best version of yourself. Whether you’re in need of a refresh or a bold new look, Headprint and Avo are where it’s at. Trust me—you’ll walk out feeling like a million bucks (and probably looking like it too). Cheers to great hair and even better vibes!

I’m in love with my haircut from Rainey. My curls have been poppin perfectly since I saw him. He’s not only good at cutting, but also has excellent communication skills and is clearly invested in ensuring the client is getting exactly what they want. I had a general idea with a picture but wanted some modifications I couldn’t put words. Rainey quickly worked through it with me by asking the right questions and patiently explaining different options that would work for my hair type. All the while smiling and full of humility and sweetness. I can’t recommend him enough.


Dec 05, 2024

Rainey gave me a great lob haircut that added shine and bounce. I enjoyed the compliments! They use Aveda products. I can't wait to go back!

Reagan at Headprint Salon has truly transformed my hair experience! She’s always incredibly flexible with scheduling, making it easy to find times that work, even with my hectic calendar. Whether it’s a last-minute adjustment or planning for a long appointment, she’s always accommodating and ready to make it work. It’s clear that Reagan really values her clients' time and ensures each one feels prioritized, no matter what their scheduling needs may be. What really stands out about Reagan is her exceptional attention to detail. She’s meticulous with every cut, color, and style, taking the time to make sure every strand is just right. From the initial consultation to the finishing touches, she never rushes through any part of the process, which makes all the difference in the results. You can tell she takes pride in her craft and wants every client to leave her chair feeling their best. Reagan is also incredibly friendly and warm, which instantly makes you feel at ease. She creates a relaxed environment where you can chat openly about what you’re hoping for, knowing she’s really listening. It’s not just about the final look – she genuinely enjoys building connections with her clients. Every appointment with her feels like catching up with a friend, and that friendly touch is such a rare quality in this industry. Finally, Reagan is amazing when it comes to educating her clients. She doesn’t just do your hair; she explains each step, shares her reasoning behind certain techniques, and offers advice on how to maintain the look at home. Her willingness to educate her clients on product choices and styling tips means I always leave her chair feeling more knowledgeable and confident about caring for my hair. I truly appreciate all the care and dedication she brings to every appointment!

The Best Salon in California and probably the nation! Love it-


Dec 05, 2024

This is exactly what I’ve been wanting for years!! Headprint studio is top notch. Thank y’all so much!! 🖤🖤🖤 I’m in love! I just showed a few pictures that didn’t even look as good as this, and Reagan just got it! Thank you so much! Excited for my first day of work after a long funemployment.

Chadd is amazing at his work, very nice and welcoming. he listens to what you have in mind. 100% recommend !

Best haircut by Teddy.

Everyone at the Cow Hollow studio are super welcoming and friendly when you arrive. I was booked for a blowout service with Rainey who was absolutely fantastic. This was my first time getting this kind of service done & he made me feel so comfortable through the process. They walked me through all the products being used, how to use them, answered all my questions about the techniques to achieve a similar look at home. 10/10 I will be booking another service with Rainey in the very near future. Thank you again Rainey for making me feel so beautiful!


Nov 05, 2024

I had an appointment for a perm with Chadd, and had a wonderful experience all the way through. Not only was Chadd responsive, accommodating, and professional, he was able to work off of a very vague description of what my target look was and made sure I was comfortable with everything being done. I highly recommend Chadd to any men looking to do perms, or any other style of hair. I look forward to the next time I get my perm done!


Nov 05, 2024

I’ve been coming to Headprint Studio in Cow Hollow for years, and I can’t say enough great things about this place—especially Caroline! She has been my go-to stylist for color, and every visit with her is an absolute pleasure. Caroline’s expertise and attention to detail are unmatched. She always nails it and keeps my hair looking healthy and vibrant. If you’re looking for an incredible stylist in San Francisco, Caroline is your girl! Check out her Insta @styled.by.caro!

Rainey did an amazing job with my blowout. He began with a wash and just the little bit of scalp massage was so relaxing. My hair is so shiny and smooth and has just the right amount of curl. I don’t usually do blowouts but this is changing my mind. Thanks Rainey!


Nov 05, 2024

This review is for Raegan, an extremely talented young woman who brought my blonde dreams to life in a more flattering way that I ever imagined possible. A+++ service, she’s a total pro! Don’t hesitate to entrust her with your locks!


Oct 05, 2024

Chadd is a great stylist. He really listens and suggests great solutions. Totally understands that I don’t want the same hair I see on 20 other girls on the street. Gives a very thorough blowout. Fun and funny too!


Oct 05, 2024

Chadd was great! Really cared about my hair and did a great job taking my wants and applying them in a way that looked good. Very speedy as well. Definitely going back.

Headprint is incredible. Everyone is so, so welcoming and stylish that I know I could bring any type of friend here and they would have an awesome cut/color experience. I've been getting my hair done for 2+ years now at Headprint (gone blue to copper, long to short, blunt cut to wispy layers) and each visit I leave feeling more myself. Taylor in Cow Hollow is such a wonderful, talented and patient color specialist (blue to copper is a FEAT) and truly has that rare kind of magic to make you leave her appointments feeling (and looking) incredible. I've also started getting awesome cuts from Mick in Castro who has taken me from the most precise blunt cut to a romantic, and edgy layered cut that is so, so easy to style I don't have to do much at all to get that look I wanted. I HIGHLY recommend Headprint to everyone. Teddy has really made something special here, and as someone who knows the impact hair can have on how they move in the world, I'm so lucky to have found it.


Oct 05, 2024

I can't express enough how amazing Katrina is! She truly takes the time to understand your vision and helps you shape it into exactly what you want for your session. I was unsure about which shade of copper would suit me best, but Katrina guided me through the options, explaining the differences with such care and expertise. I’m absolutely OBSESSED with how my hair turned out, and I've been receiving so many compliments! The whole team at Headprint Studio is warm and welcoming. I would recommend Katrina and the studio a thousand times over to anyone looking to get their hair done! 👩🏼‍🦰


Oct 05, 2024

I had such great experience with Katrina, i’ve been going to her for yearsss and she’s the only one i trust with my hair. The whole salon has a cute and welcoming vibe and everyone is super nice which is why i love coming here! I would def recommend trying out this salon and especially booking with Kat, she’s a great stylist and always does exactly what i ask for especially for curly hair and highlights.


Oct 05, 2024

Just left the salon and a woman passing by on the street gushed over my hair. I told her kudos go to Caroline who has both cut and colored my hair. Caroline has an amazing talent with color — balayage, normal highlights, and root touch ups. You can safely put yourself (your hair) in her hands.


Oct 05, 2024

Rainey is so generous in not only their talent but also their supreme spirit. I never have felt more at home with someone cutting my hair, and I knew that once they were finished we would both be happy. I am in awe of their ability to be communally attentive to my needs and desires, while being especially attune to hesitations that I brought to the visit. And by the end, I had all forgotten about my cosmetic insecurities because I was so obsessed with my own hair.


Oct 05, 2024

Recently got my haircut with Rainey and loved it! They were so sweet, very gentle with my hair and I could tell was very passionate about hair cutting! I almost fell asleep (which is usually a good sign). Would recommend coming here and getting a nice haircut, its been roughly two weeks and my hair looks great still! Thank you Rainey for being there to support and help trans/enby people in the community! <3


Oct 05, 2024

Caroline has been amazing since day one! I went to her when I wanted to change my hair from natural black to bright pink. She did an amazing job with the transformation and all the up keep appointments I attend to maintain it. She adjusted the process since I have a sensitive scalp which I am so grateful for. Caroline always makes me feel at ease and my hair looks amazing after each appointment. Thank you! 😊💖


Oct 05, 2024

I had a strange request for Rainey - something many barbers would not be comfortable with - and he gave me exactly what I wanted! Is it odd that I'm already looking forward to my next haircut?
