Chit Ma Ma Salon

Went in based on all the Unilocal reviews and hoping to find a place near where I live now in Daly City. I also was looking to not pay an arm and a leg for a good haircut. I waited to grow out my hair after a disaster of a haircut where my very thick wavy/​curly hair was hacked off and left completely uneven. I walked into this place and Angela took me with no appointment. She was super nice and asked about my usual hair routine to ensure I would get the proper cut I could maintain, while still keeping the length I wanted for my hair. Im so thrilled at my new haircut! She washed, cut and styled my hair with a flat iron all for $ 45. I have a lot of thick hair so I think the price was reasonable given her experience and the time she took to ensure I was completely happy with my cut. I will definitely be coming back to her every 3 months for a trim. If you are wondering about trying this place, take it from me who has been through a fair share of haircut trauma, and I finally found a place that exceeded my expectations and made me feel great about my haircut immediately after which is rare for many, especially since it was first time going somewhere new and I wasn’t too sure if it would be a disaster all over again. So happy to say it was an amazing experience!. Thank you Angela! You are truly an artist!

Just wanted to give a shout out to Angela who really helped me with my dye. Saw me short notice. I basically got a pretty messed up beached that day, the tone and roots were off and really helped me out, evening it and giving me that ash color I wanted. This girl was basically working it, she saw me while the other two stylist were on vacation and simultaneously working with two other clients who needed a dye and cut as well I believe. It seemed like she gave everyone the care and attention they needed and still gave everyone here a excellent job on their hair

Start going to Angela more than a year ago. It is a no fuss, reasonably priced salon. She cares for detail and listens to what you want. If she thinks what you want cannot be achieved at the moment, she will map out what needs to be done in the next couple appointments. She cares enough to tell you no so you won’t waste your time and money.
As for the cut, I appreciate when hairstylists do no use razors to cut layers into my fine hair. Razor does more damage than good. I always leave Angela’s feeling nice and refreshed. I recently even got my boyfriend to get his cut here!

I used to get my hair cut at Carlton Hair International at the Westfield Mall with Anya and she was awesome; but then she quit. I had seen other stylists but the quality wasn’t the same and the fees got higher each time.
At the suggestion of a friend on Facebook I decided to give Chit Ma Ma a try and saw Angela. She was fantastic. She listened to what I wanted and looked at photos of how I wanted the back of my head to look like.
After the haircut she even offered hair drying and styling techniques so I could always look like I had just stepped out of the salon AND her prices are reasonable! I would go back. But make an appointment, she does get busy!

Very pleased with my haircut. Not only did Ms Angela cut my hair exactly the way I asked her to by showing her a picture, but she also taught me how to style my frizzy hair to look like the style in the picture. I think I will go back to her anytime I’m in San Francisco again.

First time getting haircut here. Definitely gonna go back again

Love this place! Great, quality cuts at an awesome price. Angela is everything you could ask for in a hairstylist.

we appreciate Chit Ma Ma’s help when our request is urgent. Living around the corner really makes it much more convenient. I appreciated the boss came meet up at 7:30 to make sure I get ready by 9 for my wedding ceremony at 10 in the city hall.
The price is 150 dollars for makeup+hair. I believe it is not a bad deal considering its only me doing this hair. I am amazed by how fast she did my updo, and it is very nice, elegant, and classy. I also like that she is bold with her opinion and confident in her crafting — and she has a reason to.
I like her simple makeup too. Yet some powder left on one side of the face is not mixed quite well. I figured it might be the time limit. Some work can be more detail-​oriented. Yet in general, it has been very satisfactory.
I also like that Chit Ma Ma will give you the overall design advice, for example, what jewelry you can wear to match the hair etc. It has been a pleasant experience with Chit Ma Ma.

I personally LOVE Mae! She’s been my go to hair stylist for 11 years now. Others prefer Angela, sure. My mom, grandma and I have been faithful to Mae for so long. She’s a great person and does take good care of my hair. Brownie points for her bringing up things that happened so long ago and wanting to catch up in my life. Nontheless, Angela & Mae are definitely great put together. Great salon, reasonable prices, and profoundly clean!

This was my GOTO spot for years!!! I discovered her when I lived in the hood because I got tired of going downtown or to Cow Hollow to get a do, and paying an arm and a leg for it… like $ 60-​$ 100.
Angela does a great job, no frills, straight to the point, and she does long layers accurately and beautifully. I love how she’s not afraid of cutting your hair when it’s long. I used to wear my hair really long, sometimes down to my waist. When I was ready to cut it off, she did just that, and didn’t try to talk me out of it. I loved it! She’s not afraid to use the razor, and her techniques are up to date. I used to pay no more than $ 25 – 30 for a cut and shampoo. Even if she charged me more, I would pay.
Now that I’m out in East Bay, I can’t find a replacement. I’ve tried four different stylists and no luck… so I drive into the city to see her now. She’s still awesome in my book!

I have been coming for almost 2 years now, the customer service is great. I would make appointments but even on a walk in, they always made it work for me. I usually come in for a hair cut and I always seem to get the same kind, both ladies are very nice and very helpful with tips on how to care for your hair. I came in a couple of times for pants alteration and they always did a good job. Prices is good, I always feel welcomed and I always leave happy, you can’t really complain.

Love it here been coming to her since 9years ago. I really don’t mind the wait at all cause the out come of my hair is totally worth it. She have a little help here an there but she does most of the work ALONE.

I’ve been faithful to this salon for 4 years now. It was my go-​to place for updos and haircuts. She does great haircuts and hairstyles for an affordable price, which is why I’ve made it my regular salon. NOT ANYMORE.
Just recently I came in for a haircut and she did a great job as usual, except this time she charged me almost double what I usually pay. Her website still says $ 23+ for a woman’s haircut, shampoo, style. But mine came out to be double!
I figured the «+» in the $ 23+ meant plus an extra few dollars maybe like $ 6 – 7 extra but no, she charged me $ 45. Mind you, I only came in to cut some layers in my hair. A year before that, she only charged me $ 25 to cut 16 inches off and into a bob.
If it weren’t for the steep change in prices, I’d still stick with her. But alas, looks like I’m back to searching for a new salon. Plus, she takes forever to work on you even if you’ve already made an appointment.

I have been here a couple times for haircuts and the service has been decent. I made an appointment for a haircut today. My appointment was at 4:30 and I got there a few minutes early. When I told her my appointment was at 4:30 she checked my name and told me to have a seat. She finished up with the person she was with about 10 minutes later. Then she had her pay and I figured it was my turn. But she walked right by me and went to the back. After another 15 minutes of waiting a lady came out to the desk. When I told her my appointment was at 4:30 and asked her how much longer I would be waiting she informed me that Angela was running late and working on her 4:00 appointment. What upsets me is that nobody informed me that they were running late when I came in or in the 20 minutes I sat there waiting. If I hadn’t asked I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t have said anything. She didn’t even apologize. I had somewhere to be at 5:30 so I just left.

4.5 stars, really
Angela has many many years of experience with hair and I can tell. She always knows what’s best for your hair; whether or not the cut you were thinking of would suit your hair type/​face frame. I don’t get my haircut often but when I do, I go to her. It’s also reasonably priced for a decent haircut
One problem is that there’s always a wait when you go, even if you make an appointment. I waited 45 minutes during my last visit, which I found really unprofessional. So bring a friend or a game boy or something; this place is not for you if you have places to be.
I’ve noticed that she cuts a little too much, and usually doesn’t do a great job on bangs. This has been the experience of some of my friends as well. It’s just alright at first but then when it grows out it looks really pretty.
Highly recommend.

Decent salon if you want a no-​frills, simple haircut. I usually go to Carlton Westfield or Vidal Sassoon downtown and pay around $ 75 for a shampoo, cut, and style. I didn’t feel like spending a lot on a simple trim so I found this salon on the Unilocal iPhone app in my area. I came in on a Tuesday to drop off alterations and a simple trim. I didn’t call ahead for an appointment but the wait was very short and it wasn’t busy. I showed a photo of myself from a previous haircut for her to follow and she went to work. I only got the ends of my hair trimmed, which were dry from heat styling, and she gave my hair some shape with simple layers starting below the chin. I did not get a shampoo and my total came to $ 25 and I left a $ 5 tip. I think my haircut cost more because I have very long hair but I’m not positive. When I came in, my hair was 2 inches above waist length.
UPDATE: I didn’t really care for how she styled my hair super straight after my haircut. After washing it myself at home and styling it myself, I absolutely LOVE my haircut. The layers are absolutely perfect and give my hair so much more movement and volume. The layers blend together so nicely too. The haircut I got here is on par with what I usually get at Vidal Sassoon and Carlton downtown at less than half the price. I’ve found my new salon.

Not the most glamorous neighborhood, but this little salon is the only reason I’ll visit this neck of the woods.
I’ve been coming here since I was in high school, and she does a great job every time. I am fairly particular about my hair. especially my bangs. I don’t want them too long. or too short… and I know managing my hair is not an easy task. Let’s just say, I know I won’t be going bald any time soon. (I hope I didn’t jinx myself…) Angela does an awesome job trimming and thinning my hair. I get too scared to try new looks, so a trim here and there is just about all I need.
My favorite part: she does not pressure you to do anything. I know of some salons that will ask if you want to dye your hair. do you want some sort of special heat treatment… blah blah blah. the answer for most people is NO.
In short, I paid $ 25 for wash, cut, and blow-​dry… I’m a happy camper.
Random: They do dry cleaning AND mani/pedi’s too!

Gotten hair cut by Angela. She is very good at what she does.
Love Chris, who does the waxing and mani/​pedi. She is amazing. Very clean, super pleasant and pretty good vibe. Only negative is their appointment system. I try to call ahead sometimes but it’s never a definite time: «ok…how about maybe 15 mins. oh, make that 30 mins» you may end up waiting for awhile due to over booking. I normally just walk in and see if they can take me since I live around the corner.

Angela was able to see me without an appointment, which was GREAT since I had some extra time in my day. I usually head out to my“normal” hair dresser in Daly City, but I decided to try out my own ‘hood. So while I waited for Angela to finish her client, I noticed a nice chanting in the background, which was def buddhist hymms. if they’re called hymms. But it was really relaxing!
My request for a 2 inch trim was a simple request, with excellent results. I asked for advice for hair highlights, for my Vegas trip coming up in June, and I will be def calling Angela for a appointment to get that done! She was very warm, friendly, and had a great attitude. I paid $ 25 for a wash, cut and style. I tipped, and skipped out the door!

Angela did my hair and makeup (Mac cosmetics products) for prom and I absolutely adored it! I received endless compliments during that special night and I took tons of pictures to treasure my memorable moments.
Angela is SKILLED! Pro-​makeup artist, and pro updo-​ist!
