Mireya Segura

It’s been years since my last review of Mireya the Marvelous! Since my first review, I have moved to Oakland. I tried to be faithful to her, but after a few months I just stopped crossing the bridge to do much of anything in SF anymore! (Because Oakland rocks!)
I tried maybe 4 or 5 other stylists in the EB, all with very high ratings and glowing reviews on Unilocal,but none of them held a candle to Mireya! Some of the cuts were passable, others were pretty lame. None of them were like Mireya’s. I always leave her feeling like a better version of myself! She is a really warm and lovely woman, who can help you figure out what you want and then executes it perfectly!
Also, her new salon is lovely. And there was a ridiculous amount of free and easy parking right out front, which was a shock. Because parking was so easy, I had an extra 25 minutes to check out the fancy new grocery store on the corner of 17^th and Harrison. (Beware: they have an enticing selection of pastries, and a café where they serve wine! Not a bad way to spend time before or after a cut.)
Make an appointment to see her. You, too, will be hooked.

Mireya is always on top of her game. I’ve followed her from shop to shop, and she’s now in a great space on Alabama. Lovely garden to wait in if you arrive early. Like the intimacy of the shop. The guys next door play great music, too. I always look forward to my next appointment.

Mireya did a great job! So glad I found her. I went in for a much needed trim and color correction. Not only did she help me find a solution to my hair color issues she made it look natural and here it is 6 weeks later and it still looks great. I will definitely be going back.

Mireya is the hairstylist of my dreams. My spouse would say that she made me look like Charlie’s Angels. I saw her for a cut and a gloss every other month for as long as I lived in SF. My hair is long, so I don’t need to get it maintained that often, but with Mireya I wanted to. During my last visit to SF, she went out of her way to see me for an appointment. She’s the absolute best!

A great haircut/​color can be better than therapy and as a former therapist, I can honestly say that Ms. Segura is one of the best people you can see to instantly lift your mood with a great cut, color & style. Now, I’ve historically been very fickle with hairstylists because my wavy, course Pacific-​Islander hair can be quite difficult to manage. Mireya is the first stylist I’ve worked with that has been able to let me feel comfortable letting out my natural waves and I’ve had her work with me through longer, shoulder length hair and my preferred short pixie cut. I’ve been going to her for about eight years and referred my husband to her. Now we both go to her for our regular ‘hair therapy’ sessions. The last time we went our 6 month old daughter did a double take when she saw how fabulous her parents looked. She couldn’t stop smiling and neither could we. Do something good for yourself — have Mireya take care of you every 6 – 8 weeks.

My relationship with Mireya has lasted for many, many years. I have followed her around the city because she is that good! We have been through bangs, growing out bangs, thinning, layers, highlights (which she does beautifully!), color and growing my hair out looooong! It seems to me she is especially good at working with long hair though the short cuts posted here look great, too!
I always look forward to visiting her and catching up. We have known each other so long, it is like visiting an old friend. And I always leave looking and feeling fabulous!
I know I got lucky in the hair lottery (thanks, Dad, for the awesome hair genes!) but without Mireya’s careful tending of this crazy mop, it would just be out of control. I know, I’ve been there, it’s not pretty! As it is, I get compliments on my hair All. The. Time. and I always attribute it to the one who has the layering/​coloring/​blowout magic, Mireya!

Mireya is a talented hairstylist who has the ability to work with an individual’s unique qualities and taylor a great style to them. My hair has completely transformed from what it was before I started seeing Mireya. Because of my regular visits I now have very healthy hair and great style. I highly recommend Mireya Segura.

I too lucked into Mireya when my old hairstylist left the salon I was going to and Mireya inherited his clients. It was the best thing that ever happened to my hair. I have thick, curly, unruly hair that would be a salt-​and-​pepper frizz ball if it weren’t for Mireya’s deft coloring, cutting, and patient direction with styling cremes etc. What’s more, she’s really nice. Not woefully expensive. And she practices my Spanish with me at no extra charge.

Mireya is a fantastic stylist and a sweet person. Having been a stylist for years myself, I am not easy to please. It has been very nice to find a stylist who works well with long hair and won’t take off more than requested. I definitely lucked up finding her on my first salon visit after moving here. Normally, I do not enjoy getting my hair cut, but since I am not worried about how much hair I am going to be missing, I instead get to visit and relax. Such a nice change. Plus, her new space is adorable, quiet, and you get uninterrupted attention!

Mireya has been cutting my hair for a couple of years now and she’s fantastic. A mediocre haircut will look good for a week or so and then start growing out funny. When Mireya cuts my hair, I marvel at how good it still looks a month later.
She’s a pleasure to talk to and the time flies by when she’s cutting my hair. She’s busy but I never have to struggle to get an appointment. She’s easy to schedule via email. Tambien habla Espan~ol!
5 stars.

Mireya is awesome! She does amazing work and is a great stylist. Despite being in demand by various clients she has always been very accommodating to my busy schedule. I highly recommend Mireya. She is one of the best in the city.

Mireya is wonderful. I was recommended to her by a friend (actually, multiple friends) and feel incredibly lucky to finally find a hair dresser in San Francisco who I love. My hair has been many different shades of blonde, brown, purple — don’t we all forget what our natural color is? She does a great job of mixing colors to match my skin tones and I walk out really liking my hair cut that day (instead of the usual … «well, the cut is fine. I’ll like it in two weeks.» No, I like it that day).
She is sweet, thoughtful, with a wonderful and genuine personality. Highly recommend.

Mireya is exactly the kind of skilled, receptive stylist I was looking for. I’ve been seeing her for two years, including a braid-​and-​curl «do» for my wedding. I plan to stick with her for many years to come.
I have long, thick hair and like it in long layers. Mireya also recommended thinning it to tame the bulk. Because of a long-​ago bad thinning experience, I didn’t let her thin during my first visit. What an improvement when I did give her the go-​ahead the following time!
Mireya consistently gives great hair cuts, is a good listener, offers excellent advice, and is super sweet.

Mireya es la más increíble, atenta y talentosa estilista que he conocido en la ciudad.
My hair is one of the most challenging a man can get, because of that when
I moved to San Francisco, I tried tens of hairstylists trying to find someone to tame it.
And then I met Mireya. She not only was able to manage my hair, but she also completely changed my perception of hair salons.
The moment you step into her salon, you will feel inner peace her whole personality is very soothing which creates a great ambiance.
As you can tell by now, Mireya is a great listener so she will not only follow your style but she will help you in trying new ones so you will find the one that better suits you.
If you are looking for an awesome, talented and kind stylist, look no further.

Mireya is a fantastic stylist. Since moving back to the Bay Area from Santa Barbara I hadn’t felt like any of the haircuts I had were worth the money until I had my first appointment with Mireya. She is equally talented with both men’s and women’s hair (she styles my girlfriend as well), has painstaking attention to detail, and gives you a haircut that is stylish, practical, and beautifully executed. Although the new location is a little hard to find, Mireya’s mastery of her field makes it more than worth the trip.

I always left a haircut with regret until meeting Mireya!
I have followed her from different salons and would follow her always. I like my hair long, and she always listens to how I wear it and what I like, rather then most, who just assume to recreate your style without asking you. She has never cut it too short, nor butchered my hair. However, when I tell her I am bored with my hair she adds just the right amount of style back into it. She also does an amazing color/​gloss look as well. Simply the best stylist I’ve ever had!

Mireya is gold.
I first met her a year ago when she was cutting hair at GlamaRama. From the times I’ve gotten my hair cut there, she was by far the one who gave me the best cut. When I found out she was doing her own gig at ActivSpace, I followed her right way.
Simply put, Mireya knows what she’s doing. She’s a great listener and is never pushy.
Ever have a hairstylist unnecessarily nudge you to go with a certain style? Or tell you to relax as she snips off chunks of your wet hair only to leave you with a drastically shorter cut than requested?
You don’t need to repeat those nightmares again. And if you don’t know what you’re looking for, she has an extremely good eye and gives great advice.
Just go see Mireya.

Mireya is AMAZING. She’s been cutting my hair for almost four years now, and she’s seen me through long hair, very short hair, and all the styles in between. My haircuts frequently receive compliments (and requests for referrals to my stylist), and the cuts hold their form beautifully for 6 to 8 weeks after the cut. She’s a phenomenal stylist and I have and would recommend her to anyone. She’s also a bit a hair counselor — I often show up not knowing what I want and she helps me figure out a great style.
Her new spot at ActivSpace is really hip, sunny, and comfortable.
I highly recommend letting Mireya work her magic on your hair!

Mireya is a fantastic stylist. She’s been doing my hair for a couple of years now and I am always happy. My hair is going gray, and she does an amazing job with the color, covering the gray and blending the color perfectly. I also love the cut. Although my hair is long, she’s able to give it really nice body. The blow out after the color and cut is amazing. I try not to wash my hair for a week just to keep the amazing blow out as long as possible!
Mireya also is really sweet and friendly and makes you feel super welcome. Her new salon at ActivSpace is beautiful and sunny and intimate, and there’s always plenty of free parking around the building. Mireya’s prices are good. You leave feeling pampered and happy. I definitely recommend trying her if you’re looking for a hair stylist!
