Honeycomb Salon

I’ve been going to Honeycomb off and on for 2 – 3 years. Always love the welcoming atmosphere and the light in this place. Michael is one of the best stylists in SF. I honestly feel comfortable in his capable hands. I know that when I leave the salon, my hair will look fabulous. Somehow he makes my lifeless, fine, over-​abused hair look healthy. I’m looking forward to my next cut and color.

Michael Generalao is an up and coming stylist.
Get him while he is still young.
Get on his schedule now before this talent is snapped up, and booked fulltime styling magazine cover shoots. His work is gallery-​grade!

Heard Honeycomb is going to start using TOOLOW app now. Excited to get the lowest price with them from now on!

I went to Honeycomb for my first time the other day for a cut and some highlights. I had Michael and he did an amazing job. The staff are very friendly and the salon is really nice and clean. I highly recommend it

Just got a haircut today at Honeycomb. Had a good time there, I just walked in and they said they could squeeze me in in 20−30min which was good.
I saw Michealyn and she was very friendly.
The haircut is not bad at all but I’ve definitely had better, especially for a surprising $ 60!
I’m sure I can get a better haircut elsewhere so will keep looking.
Sorry Honeycomb.

I went to see Michelynn (butchered the name, sorry lady!) and had a really great time/​haircut. It’s worth the note to say that she literally squeezed me in between clients without making me feel rushed, in the least. Also, snaps to Eden the gal who picks up the phone, she knows how to work a schedule and was super chill and patient!
I am generally someone who moves from one stylist to another, it’s just a haircut so, lets cut them, make them look better than before (hopefully), and move on… with that said, Michelynn is someone to put on the list ‘to do’. She really MADE my hair. She got what I wanted based off a fuzzy, dimly lit photo I took of a co-​workers hair that I fell in love with. The idea was to create a bob with layers and not only did she do it, but she rocked it!
Ok so here’s the BEST part. She styled my hair exactly as I would have and guess what? I cut my hair Friday night and today I’m writing this review Monday morning… cause it’s still BOMB!!! Everyone at work loves it, I’ve received a TON of compliments, and best of all, I feel great.
I guess the only reason I’d continue my vagabond ways between stylists is that the cost of a haircut was a little bit pricier than usual ($ 75 + tip for 3″ off) for someone who spends ZERO time and gives ZERO fucks (most of the time) about my hair. If you care, go here. Well worth the cost.

I love my hair cut & color so much. Bette was absoluteness divine. She gave her honest opinion and was very friendly. I enjoyed my experience so much. I am so happy with my experience that i will only get my hair done at Honeycomb. Thank you!

About two years ago, I met a guy in SFO who had long hair the same color and texture as mine — but with a cut that gave him a real rockstar look. He referred me to Michael G at Honeycomb, and after reading the Unilocal reviews and thinking about it for almost a year, I finally went and got my first haircut that was not just a straight trim of the ends.
Michael is super friendly and efficient — and he did a great job with my long hair, not taking too much off and giving a bit of a blunt cut at an angle to the front that has allowed my hair to wave and curl on its own like I never knew it could do!
The salon itself is in a beautiful old building that was remodeled inside with skylights and plenty of natural light — and there are frequently cute dogs there (Hi Madigan! Hi Charlie!). It’s in Noe Valley so be prepared to take transit, walk, bicycle or motorcycle — parking must be tough for folks with cars!

Love the ambience of the salon. Quiet, private and modern. I see Chris O. He’s great! He listens, considers (even between appointments!) and has ideas about styles and colors that would work for me. He took me from a yellow blonde to an ashy umbrae. When he made the change– he consulted with others to ensure the tone would work with my coloring. He also considered me — my budget and desire for an easy yet modern style. Love him!

Erin is no longer here :(But the owner is the same and the aesthetic is still really good. I have heard good things about Michael, who truly seems to be gifted at his 60s and 70s inspired cuts. For me that’s the real edge of hair style. I love sassy Rock n Roll cuts that exude attitude, so after seeing Michaels skills in pics on the site I’m seriously considering making an appointment. Stay tuned!!!

Love this salon! Everyone was very nice, and they offered me tea. I described ideas of what I wanted, and Michael did such an amazing job! He also styled my hair so pretty, and taught me easy hair techniques I can do at home. I will definitely come back here again. You get what you pay for, good quality hair cuts!
P. S. They’re dog friendly ;)

I just walked out of Honeycomb and am so pleased to report my hair looks great.
Michael did a fantastic job on my burnt out ends, and only took off as much as was necessary. My bangs look great, not too long, not too short, and they blend nicely into the rest of my hair. I mostly enjoyed that if I wanted to talk we talked, and if I was happy to sit there quietly I could do that too.
The salon itself is really nice, minimalistic with white, gold and black décor. If you’ve never been it’s a little bit out of the way in the sense that it’s tucked back behind the main drag of 24^th street, but it’s well worth a visit. You can book appointments online which is a huge bonus for me.
Price was a little more than I expected for a cut/​wash/​style but honestly my hair looks great so I don’t really care.
I’m so happy to have found a new great salon!

Honeycomb is a sweet little neighborhood gem, tucked away behind Savor’s patio. It’s décor is elegant and chic with honeycomb motifs wittily, yet subtly showing up in all the right places. I was on the hunt for a talented and friendly stylist who could do both color and cut and I found Michael – he totally gets the style I’m into, the color is beautiful and he gives free bang trims :) Plus he’s fun, down-​to-​earth and has excellent taste in music!

Gilbert gives flawless and effortlessly trendy haircuts time and time again. I come in and sit down and he works his magic. I am the kind of person who runs out the door with wet hair– somehow Gilbert cuts it every time so that it dries perfectly all by itself! Even when I am long overdue for a cut, I still get tons of compliments on my hair. I recommend him whenever I can!

Very good. I have short hair and find it really hard to find anyone that has been trained sufficiently to cut it!
I got exactly what I wanted with Veronica and have no complaints about her work. She obviously loves what she does. Unfortunately I moved out of the area and am on the hunt again…

Great place. I moved to the city about 6 months ago. I tried another (cheaper) place, but wasn’t happy with the cut. I loved this place. It’s got a cute, clean atmosphere. The stylist there were Michael and Betty, and both were super nice. Betty cut my hair and did a great job. I’m going back to her next time!
Other awesome things about this place:
1. Puppies
2. Free bang trims

Chris O. is very knowledgeable and shares tips on how to properly style my hair. (E.g.: blow dry hair before using the flat iron, etc.)
He listened to what I wanted and gave me tons of layers. I didn’t know what I wanted for my bangs and I left all creative freedom to him. At the same time, he still asked about my preferences, which was great since I needed guidance but also wanted to give my input.
The hair cut came out great. The best part is that he is very nice and friendly to talk to. It didn’t feel forced or awkward. This made the hair cut not boring.

Today I had an amazing appointment with Michael. I have short, fine, dark brown hair that I normally wear in a bob. Michael refined my bob with a perfect haircut. Amazing technical skill and really pleasant to sit with during my cut. Will definitely return. Highly recommend him and the salon if you’re looking for a meticulous craftsmen for your ‘do.

Yesterday, I went for a last minute hair cut appointment with Michael, and I have to say I love my new cut! Michael listened, understood and suggested a great look! I didn’t make his job easy considering how much hair I have and how thick it is; nonetheless he gave me what I wanted! Another great thing about Honeycomb is the level of service and attention to details all the employees show. The receptionist was friendly and flexible when I called just two hours before my cut and the place is small but extremely clean.
Great neighborhood find! by far the best salon in Noe Valley!
Happy Customer!!!

Love this salon… it’s quiet, small and super clean inside. I like that it’s intimate and tucked away behind a restaurant… I don’t want a loud or hectic salon and Honeycomb is the ideal setting for me. I’ve been a loyal client of ChrisO, since he was in school at Aveda. My hair has always looked and felt healthy and fabulous; a coworker even told me last week that «my hair was giving her life!» and my sister in law just told me over the wknd how my hair always looks healthy and shiny! Doesn’t get much better than that!
ChrisO is a fantastic stylist… he’s talented and has a great eye. He’s honest and has the best personality ever, LOVE him! He always listens to what I want and never tries to sway me or force products on me. He also gives great advice too, giving me his honest feedback on what styles would work best for my hair type and face structure. Getting my hair cut is a treat, I don’t know WHAT the reviewer below is talking about… I’ve never had anything but an awesome experience with Chris and Honeycomb. I even hired Chris for my wedding and he even put some curls (free of charge!!) in my niece’s hair, truly a highlight for her, having a fancy professional doing her hair! He was a dream to work with for my wedding and was actually the one person NOT stressing me out, right before the wedding.
I’ll follow Chris wherever he goes but hopes he stays at Honeycomb, it’s a cute and totally unpretentious salon! And they have the cutest salon dog ever, who could ask for anything more?!
