Jungle Red

Amy Rae did a great job on my haircut! I have very thick, temperamental hair. I wanted a cut that would suit my hair because unfortunately it’s pretty wild and will not submit or conform to styles I like. Amy Rae saw what direction my hair went in, worked with my monstrous cowlicks AND shaved some sweet designs in it. This haircut definitely suits my personality! It’s unique, asymmetrical and easy to maintain.
Give Amy Rae some artistic liberty and she will not disappoint!

Went to Amy Rae who did an amazing job on my hair color and cut. Simply put, been in SF for 10 years and easily the best highlights I’ve ever had. Definitely coming back to her, even when we move out of the city soon. I will make the commute to have Amy doe my hair. GREAT stylist

I LOVE Jungle Red! No attitude, easy energy, and I love Andrea, the owner, who’s been doing my color and cut for many years! She’s now a friend. All the stylists are very nice and do great work. Andrea is great with my curly hair and we are currently working together to grow it out a bit. Love the Davines products, too, which make my hair silky and shiny. Very highly recommended!

Many praises to Jennifer and Lucas!
I came in today for cut and color so she Boliaged it and I was very impressed by her technique and color placement. Lucas helped out since he had just returned from a class on Boliage (sp?) technique.
This salon is awsome because the stylists are well educated with color, cuts, technique and trends. The owner seems to run a proper business in providing education. They deliver modern hairstyles without the stuffiness of a high end salon.
Bottom line: THEY KNOW WHAT THEYRE DOING, and if they didn’t, they gladly help each other out which is a wonderful thing to see in salons. :)

I took a risk with Lucas and oh my wow is he a colorist. We had a vision together using gold well and boy, did he deliver! I love my hair and have already booked my next appointment.

My friend From beauty school, Amy Rae works here. She is such a talented individual, and really great at cuts. The salon is located in the Castro neighbor in 18^th.
The salon seats 6, and has a cozy ambiance. They sell great products such as Davines, and B&B.
Unilocal friends I guarantee you will love it here!!!

Not Only is Lucas Ringhofer an excellent haircutter, but he helps me just relax
into his care. Additionally consideration for my buddies is that Lucas is also a Master Colorist. Let Lucas help you make your eyes sparkle with confidence from your sexy new haircut and consider some creative accents of color to give you an edge in this beautiful new world…

Amy is wonderful!
After a disastrous cut, I needed a major repair job on my hair. Amy took a look at what was left of my hair and understood exactly what needed to be done. She skillfully trimmed and snipped away and brought out the hairstyle that got me back to «normal.» This was my 2^nd time visit with Amy and I could not be more pleased. An added bonus – I also had consultation and input from Andrea whose expertise helped guide Amy’s well crafted handiwork! The Red Jungle team is extremely nice, professional, and friendly. Amy has a keen artistic eye for hair design and I was lucky enough to find her and Red Jungle!

Lucas has been doing my hair for years — he’s the best! I moved to the East Bay a few years back and have tried other stylists because of the commute and my own laziness but I always end up back at Jungle Red and Lucas, begging him to fix my hair. I have really long, thick hair and the wrong cut or generic low-​skilled layers, weigh it down. He has been the only person who has been able to cut my hair in a way that makes it bouncy and full, but not «heavy». He also gets my hair to the perfect rich, chocolatey brown color, which covers my grays, but doesn’t make me look like Elvira (which is hard because I’m pale with naturally really dark hair – the Elvira thing tends to happen when color is introduced). He’s truly a hair magician. Go ahead and treat yo’ self to an amazing hair cut and color.

I can’t believe it took this long for me to find an amazing salon!
One word. Jennifer. She’s freakin amazing!
Prior to meeting Jennifer, I ombréd my shoulder length hair in January (black to a brown/​orange/​chestnut color). After about a month or so, it faded to a kinda brassy/​orange color. Jennifer suggested that I go with a caramel blonde color since I didn’t want to go too light.
She took great care of me and was very detail oriented. She was determined to get the perfect caramel blonde shade we both envisioned. And guess what? She nailed it.
She also suggested this really amazing oil to help soothe frizziness and gave me a sample size (btw, I just ordered a full size bottle online cause I love it so much!)
I love my hair! I need to make an appointment for a cut sometime soon.

Scott has been my stylist for about 20 years. I followed him from his previous salon. I cannot say enough about his talent and patience with me and my hair, which is thick, wavy with a curl when it gets long. I am extremely picky about my hair and I get it cut every six weeks. Scott has never disappointed me. In addition, he has a wicked sense of humor, which I love! Lucas and Jennifer have cut my hair the few times Scott has been unavailable. They are both excellent stylists and I highly recommend them. The salon feels like home and I feel very welcome every time I arrive. The atmosphere is professional, classy, but not fussy. I Love coming to Jungle Red!

Made an appointment sight-​unseen with Jason Rail after moving to a new city from NYC. My last stylist in NYC botched my color and cut, and he not only fixed it, he improved it. I then sent my honey there for a cut (men’s cut, going from very long to short) and he nailed that also. I’m going back, and so is my honey. Jason is a keeper.

This review is for Jason Rail. Jason has been cutting my hair for ten years, though he’s only been at Jungle Red for a fraction of that time. I’ve followed him here, as once you find a good barber/​stylist, you don’t want to let him go. In a previous life, Jason worked mostly on film, styling hair for the likes of Parker Posey, so we’re lucky to have him here in SF, chopping locks at the local salon. He has a lot of experience and training, and he’s a cool guy. I’ve recommended him to a few friends over the years, men and women alike, for simple cuts, styles and coloring. To the best of my knowledge, they’ve all been happy. I’d recommend him again without hesitation.

Scott did an amazing job cutting my very damaged hair and styling it like I’ve wanted to for years. I haven’t been able to find anyone I like since I moved to SF! I’m definitely going to be a regular at Jungle Red!

I have been to Jungle Red on many occasions, actually, including to get my hair cut before my wedding. I have had a variety of different stylists, all of whom always listen to what I want and do their best to make it look as close as I ask. I have extremely difficult hair to work with and I have always left the salon loving my new cut.
As for the other employees, I’m not sure about some of the reviews on here because I have never had one person be rude to me EVER. They are always beyond kind and offer me tea or water promptly upon my arrival. I have even had to bring my puppies in from time to time so I didn’t have to leave them in the car, and the staff has always been very caring and affectionate toward them. Sarah, who I believe is actually the manager (not the receptionist), is always very kind and attentive to me. I never see an unhappy face in this salon and the customers always appear to be regulars.
I highly recommend a hair cut here-​I know I will be coming back!

I heard great things about this place and was VERY disappointed… The guy who cut my hair was VERY nice (Jason) however, I did not leave with the cut I was looking for and I even brought in pictures. I asked for something Beckham-​esque and walked out looking like Macklemore. On top of that, when I booked the appointment I was told it would be $ 55 for a men’s haircut and they charged me $ 75. The receptionist (Sarah) was VERY rude about the price difference SHE had quoted me over the phone and I just found it a very tacky way of conducting business. There was not much else I could do at that point since they already had my credit card on file. I feel that I grossly overpaid for a bad haircut and would not recommend this salon to any of my friends.

I’ve been going to Jungle Red for the last 4 years, soon after I moved to the neighborhood. Can’t tell you how important my hair is to me (not that different from everyone else) so let’s say I’m very particular. I love this place and its crew. I have my favorites. Scott is now responsible for my hair (and I’ve been told by my equally critical girlfriends) that my hair has never looked better. But when Scott is not available, he makes sure I’m well taken care of by Jennifer or Lucas (under his tutelage). Everyone there is family, I know that sounds corny. Everyone knows my story and I know theirs. It’s a welcoming place and I feel good about referring my closest friends and family– which I have.
Thanks everyone at Jungle Red. You’ve taken good care of me for ALL my special occasions. Much appreciated.

I’ve been going to Jungle Red for 7 years. Andrea & Scott have built a great salon together in the Castro neighborhood. I have seen lots of trainees who turn into great hairdressers while working there. My hair always looks amazing and the service is fantastic! I can always call and they will squeeze me in. Most importantly, I trust everyone there with my hair which says everything… Andrea gives the most amazing haircuts and Jennifer does my color when I split appointments up.
Now my teenage son gets his haircut by Lucas who makes him look like the coolest kid in school… Thank You everyone for being our favorite hair salon in the CITY!!!

Awesome

Not only did I get a cut and color, I got a whole new look! You can even say I feel like a brand new girl thanks to Jungle Red. As painful as it was to load the before and after pics, the end result is so different!
I was recommended to Jenn after she cut my sister’s hair. I loved my sisters cut and needed to chop off a couple inches. I wanted to do something different and go darker than I have ever been. The more pictures I looked at the more I knew it would work for me.
I love my new deep brown hair and my hair feels incredibly soft and healthy. The products they use are huffable, they smell so incredible. You would never think that after a color — your hair would be this fragrant. It’s that new hair smell.
I’ve been here now twice, the first for a blow out and now for my cut and color. You can bet that I will be back in the spring for some fun highlights.
