Shane gave me what may be my favorite haircut ever. They took such time and care to understand what I wanted, and make sure it’s what I walked out with. The cut is simple and yet so styleable, and every detail shows such care. Plus we had a great time chatting all the way through, and got great styling tips. Truly committed to their craft and to making their client shine

Amazing, amazing, amazing. I’ve never had a stylist be so thorough in a consultation before. I left feeling so gorgeous and confident. Shane did such a lovely job.. I am so happy with my color and cut!


Feb 05, 2024

I love my new hair color! Shane takes time to talk about what you want and how he can help. He made sure it was colored without brassiness. I’ll be back!!!

Makes your cut feel like the best version of yourself.

One of the best hair stylists in the bay, Shane is always very welcoming and does amazing, nothing really bad about this hair salon, I would highly recommend to anyone trying someone new out, I say try this salon out :)

Shane is fantastic. Great haircuts, conversation, and the salon has really good vibes.


Feb 05, 2024

Shane’s body of knowledge and expertise are unmatched. I have some greys that I’m not ready to embrace just quite yet. I have never had anyone get my hair color so spot on. Big bonus or maybe the most important part.. Shane is so kind, and has a sweet pup willing to cuddle on your lap :).

This was the second time I received a haircut from this place. He hit his dog in front of me, a customer, for very minor misbehaving and then shoved his dog while on the dog bed with his leg into what I assume it was a dark closet for the remainder of my haircut. I felt very uncomfortable, and I will not be returning.

My teenage son and I have been going to Shane for almost a year. He listens but won't hesitate to tell you what will and won't work with your specific hair texture and will guide you towards a hairstyle that works for you. He is meticulous and brings his years of experience and artistry to each session, whether it's a trim or something more involved. Besides being a talented hair stylist and barber, he's kind and very funny. His plant-filled salon is a lovely oasis in the Portola.


Feb 05, 2023

Shane always comes through! Only in town for a few days but had to come see him to get me cleaned up and looking great!


Feb 05, 2023

Shane is literally a hairdressing god! His knowledge in this industry is his greatest power and can do literally anything your heart desires! I know my luscious locks are in good hands. No one else is aloud to touch my hair!


Feb 05, 2023

Shane is the best!! Always listens and is able to help figure out what you want and come up with a great plan!! Always so much fun and he’s done such an amazing job with the vibe/look of the salon too :) will never let anyone else touch my head with color!!


Feb 05, 2023

A great addition to the neighborhood. Creating fun and stylish hairdos for those hair-style-challenged individuals!! Compassionate stylist that shares simple techniques to use at home. Lovin' my hair right now!!

Beautiful salon. Shane is professional and fun! I always get an excellent cut by Shane!!


Feb 05, 2023

Best haircut I've had in years! Shane is truly understands his craft and uses all natural products as well. He's also super easy to talk to and open to answer any questions. He checks in throughout the appointment to make sure you're happy and getting what you came in for. Very glad I found him, will definitely come back!


Feb 05, 2023

Greatest experience ever! My son was so happy with his expert "immaculate" cut!! Thank you so much!!


Feb 05, 2023

I am so happy that I found Salon Inclusion! Shane is great and I really appreciate how well he listens to what I want and helps me get the look I want. He's very helpful in making sure to offer suggestions to ensure I'm happy with the results. I also love his skincare line, which has been great for my skin. Thanks Shane, you're awesome!!


Feb 05, 2023

I’ve been to Shane twice now and each time has been an genuine fun appointment. His attention to detail is incredible and he wants to make sure the cut you get works for you and is what you want. Overall the shop is so cute with great plants, products, music, and conversation. It’s like visiting a good friend every time. Thanks!!!

Shane is so awesome, communicates - super essential to getting what u want and helped me change hairstyles


Feb 05, 2023

Shane is still awesome and always does an amazing job with my hair.


Feb 05, 2023

Shane is the best barber i have ever had. I have followed him from place to place over the last three years and will continue to as long as i am in the area.


Feb 05, 2023

Shane is the best! He is super knowledgeable, encourages questions, and ensures that you get what you're looking for. I will definitely be returning in the future and encourage others to check him out!


Feb 05, 2023

Shane never disappoints. He did a keratin treatment on my hair which lasts up to 6 months. It makes my hair easy to manage and soft to the touch. Salon Inclusion is the place to go for all your hair needs.


Feb 05, 2023

Shane was wonderful! Kind, professional, talented, and very funny and friendly. The whole experience was great. I’ve definitely found my new regular salon and stylist!


Feb 05, 2023

Super clean fade. Asked for feedback throughout the cut. Enjoyed the company and conversation as well. Definitely a great choice for a queer barber shop in SF


Feb 05, 2023

This is the best place I have been to by far - both in terms of the haircut & service. (1) Sean treats you like a human being & provides good conversation (2) There is clear explanation & tips on how to maintain good hair (3) I appreciate the atmosphere & the effort to be environmentally friendly!


Feb 05, 2023

What can I say, Shane is AMAZING! I was a year overdue for a haircut, and also wanted a color job done. After a consult, we decided with ash beige balayage, and a shoulder-length cut. He did a fantastic job, I love it! Shane made sure he understood what I had in mind, and his work speaks for itself. I live in the neighborhood and have been eyeing Salon Inclusion since it opened. I finally went there, and I'm so very glad I did. The salon's name is a fitting description of my experience there. Highly recommend; book a service with confidence!
