The Woodbridge Salon

Friendly place for a great haircut.

Had my hair done by Garrett (was recommended by a few friends) and he did an amazing job! He was very easy to talk to, wasn’t judgmental, and took his time on my cut and color. Will definitely be back.

I recently had a haircut with Maggie, and while I was very pleased with the haircut itself, the hairstyling was a completely different experience—hence the 2-star rating. The hairdresser was unnecessarily rough and heavy-handed during the blow-drying and styling process. She started with the front sections, using so much heat that my hair and scalp felt like they were on fire. From there, she continued tugging so aggressively while blow-drying each section that I struggled to keep my head and neck straight. I wish I had spoken up to remind her that my hair is attached to my scalp. It’s now been three days, and my scalp is still sore. I’ve never experienced anything like this before, and I won’t be returning to this hairstylist. I’m now genuinely concerned about the impact on my scalp and hair.

In response to Nida Apa: Your exceptions and demands were unrealistic for a single blonding session. As I explained in our frustrating consultation, the amount of blonde you’re asking for is usually broken up into multiple full highlight sessions. We were able to achieve it in one appointment and you were very happy with the result. During the process of foiling your hair, it became more work than anticipated. The amount of foils placed in the back of your head alone was the equivalent of a full highlight. This was twice the work. I moved my next client’s appointment later in the day to allow myself more time to work with you. I have to account for the extra time and product used in the cost. It is stated on our website that all services listed are starting prices. I’m sorry you’re upset over $75 up charge for your 4 hour color service. In some salons, work such as this is considered to be a correction/transformative color, charged by the hour and exceeding the $75 addition. The biggest mistake I made of the day was preceding to perform the service at all.

THEY ARE RIPPING OFF! I visited The Woodbridge on September 20 for a full highlight service with Nikki, and it was a frustrating experience. I showed her the hair color I wanted, but she immediately told me she couldn’t do it. Instead, she suggested some colors that never matched my wishes. After learning she’d still charge me 50% of the full service fee if I left, I told her getting close to what I wanted was fine, just to avoid losing my time and money. That’s when she started dyeing my hair. To my surprise, when it came time to pay, there was an extra $75 charge for bottles of dye that she used—without my consent. She never informed me that I’d be charged $25 per bottle during the service. I ended up paying to avoid more confrontation, but I’m extremely disappointed. I won’t be returning, and I plan to take this issue to court. The way they add hidden charges feels like they’re ripping off customers. Stay away from this salon!

Aria is excellent. The best hair colorist I’ve visited in SF.

Haircut came out a bit choppy and uneven, otherwise it was a good experience.

Highly recommend!! Salon is clean and has a chic atmosphere. Stylists are all very kind and professional. One of the best hair highlights I’ve ever received!

I called one week prior to the day of a big wedding I was to attend to book a styling service with Nikki, and was given confirmation of my appointment by a male receptionist. Showed up the day of my appointment and was told my appointment was canceled. I never received any communication about this cancellation and was told the stylist wasn’t even scheduled to work this day. This experience was extremely unprofessional and I was left completely out of luck.

Hunter is amazing at blondes and haircuts!

Jasmine did such an amazing job cutting my hair, and she has such a great taste. After I showed her some pictures of what I wanted, not only she did what I asked, but also made recommendations based on what fits me! I highly recommend Jasmin! Will definitely come back!

Garret always does an amazing job with my hair. I have dark hair and wanted to go lighter with balayage. He nailed the exact shade of blonde I wanted. He's precise and knowledgable and cuts my hair exactly as I want. I highly recommend Garret for partial blonde balayage on dark hair and long layers. You'll also leave with an amazing blow out.

VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE Four days ago I went to Woodbridge to have an haircut and make balayage on my long hair. I SPENT 7.30 HOURS (from 3pm to 10.30pm) inside the saloon. The hairdresser applied the color on my hair for about 6 hours and when he removed it the result was HORRIBLE. My bangs was ORANGE, the first part of the hair was BROWN and the final part of the hair was BLOND/GREY. My hair was a disaster. The guy was very sorry and told me to return the day after to talk with his boss. He scheduled for me another appointment for the day after. That same night I wasn't able to sleep at all. The day after I had to go to work with a hat to cover my horrible hair. It was very humiliating. My next appointment was scheduled for 5pm, but I received a call at noon from the saloon to move the appointment to the following day, "because they didn't have time for me and wanted to give me all the attentions to help me with this disaster". I accepted it and I had to go to work with the hat for another humiliating day. When I returned to Woodbridge the owner (who was supposed to fix the mistake) spent 1 or 2 minutes to look at my hair and then she just called the SAME GUY who made this disaster and left the shop saying "See you tomorrow guys!" I spent 4 hours in the shop with the same guy, asking for the simplest color treatment to do which was returning to my previous color. I showed the photo of my hair "before disaster" to him and another girl inside the shop. At the end of this 4 hours my hair didn't return to the original color. I have a kind of brown on the hair and a sort of blonde/brown on the bangs. But the very SAD THING is the HEALTH OF MY HAIR: they are very damaged and unhealthy because the hours and hours spent with the colors on. They only gave me some products for "damaged hair" and of course they didn't make me pay for the horrible color treatment. Now I need to reconstruct my hair and I will spend a lot of money to take care of it. I hope I won't have to cut all the damaged part and make my hair a lot shorter (it took 5 years to grow it this long). The saddest and most frustrating thing was the owner's behavior. In fact she didn't care too much about what happened and she didn't really help in fixing the big mistake made by one of her hairdressers. I was never upset with the guy making the mistake and I was always respectful, but I was still expecting them to fix my hair. I understand mistakes can happen but it is the owner's responsibility to make sure that they are taken care of. Clearly she didn't do that which made me feel like I wasn't a valuable customer.

Got my hair colored here & it's a great environment; & I loved my color!

Great hairdressers! Friendly environment.

Great salon! I love how they offer you wine, tea, or spa water while you get your hair done. Highly recommend Jessica for cut and color.

I gave one day notice and got not one, but two stylists working together collaborating. I felt the entire experience that one feels when you enter a spa. It’s a complete vibe and experience involving great team work. How often can you walk in to a Salon and receiving the best of each person’s talent while being greeted and hosted out by just the gal you would want as your greeter. She was more like a concierge service. Thank you Garrett and Christie for proving excellent experience and expertise. They had to solve a serious color reconstruct and sent me off unexpectedly impressed. Loved the results and two days before my birthday . Feels sexy and fresh. . #Superb #HappyBirthdaytome #pampered

I had the best haircut of my life so far here with Katie. Seriously. It was worth every penny!

Feb 05, 2020

The new girl that did my hair did it good the first time. I kindly went back because I decided I wanted a little bit more of the same blonde. She got upset and completely RUINED my hair. My hair was the only thing that made me feel good about myself. It turned out completely yellow after being a dark brown. The owner agreed to have it fixed for free and was very kind. However, it is still very far from the picture I initially asked for and I’m very uncomfortable with it. Don’t really want to go out with my hair down. I’m trying to get it fixed soon but never had my hair dyed before and really expected better.:(

This review is for Ashley, who is a hair genius! Before I review the cut, I’ll mention that I ended up with Ashley because when I reached out to the Woodbridge asking about scheduling a cut while looking for a local stylist, they took the time to work with me about my needs and plan a consultation to make sure I was with the right stylist- instead of just slotting me in with someone. Based off of that, they decided Ashley was the one and oh my gosh I’m so glad they did. She’s wonderful and so sweet. I have really really long, really really thick wavy hair (that hadn’t been cut in 8 months), and am SO uptight and picky about who I let touch it. I always have concerns going in that it won’t be handled right. Ashley immediately put that to rest. She seemed to take one look at my hair and know exactly what needed to be done, and also took the time to listen to me about what I wanted as well as asked great questions about my usual hair upkeep. I could tell before she even started cutting that she just knew what she was doing. And for the actual cut- SO GOOD! First of all, she’s amazingly efficient. With the amount of hair I have, sometimes I’m in a salon for HOURS. She definitely took her time and was so thorough/detail focused, and I never felt rushed, but she also got it done without feeling like I lost a day of my life. And the end result was absolutely perfect! She is one of the very few people who have sent me out of the salon loving my hair and knowing it is going to to be so much more manageable and healthy. It looks amazing styled after the cut, but weirdly I can’t wait to wash it cause I know it’s going to be so so much easier to handle on my own! The short version- she can take on a lot of hair, do what needs to be done to get it back into shape, do it phenomenally, and have a great convo at the same time. Definitely reccomend!

Just the best! I went to do Balayage and Chloe did it just perfect. They have all been super kind and helpful if you needed something. I'll definitely be back.

I was visiting SF at my daughter's. my hair had been basically ruined by a stylist in Pensacola. Frankie de Franco came to my rescue and did an absolutely amazing job of restoring the color and giving me the cutest hair cut! I would highly recommend the Woodbridge salon, and ask for Frankie!!
