Place Hair Salon

There is only one person in the universe who is allowed to cut my thick, Chinese hair, and it’s Days. She has been doing my haircuts and digital perms for over 3 years now!

I have been going to Days since two salons before she had her own business. She has been reliable in giving me an amazing hair cut and making me comfortable for the last 7 or 8 years. I now live two hours away from San Francisco but still make the drive to see her, I simply don’t have the confidence in any other hair stylist that I have in her. Highly recommended.

Days is always booked. Book far, far in advance because she is THAT good. Actually don’t, because that means my wait time could get even longer! My last appointment I had to wait 4 weeks out, but it was so worth it! My hair is adorable now. :)
Specializes in fine, straight, Asian hair. She is very honest in telling you what colors, cuts or styles will not work with your hair or face. She is the only person I trust to give me bangs and trust when I tell you that you can not just get bangs from anyone.

I first came to Days for a digital perm, and I was so happy with her work, I’ve been going to her for all my cuts since. She listens to what you want and gives you her input, but ultimately does what you want. She checks with you throughout the cutting process to see if you’re liking the work. I’ve moved to the opposite corner of the Bay but still go back to Days. The quality of work and price can’t be beat!

DAYS is the BEST as others’ reviews rated.
She is too young to know so much about hair. She is patient and willing to listen to what the customers want first, then she gives her suggestions. I love how she doesn’t ‘stuff’ her advice down your throat.
She is funny and cares about her customers. She remembers the things that you tell her. She has plenty of customers but she does make a point to remember their likes and dislikes.
I am so glad that I have a hair dresser like her who is young and maybe is going to outlast me so that I don’t have to look for another one for a LONG time.

DAYS IS THE BEST.
I’ve been a customer of hers for years now. You don’t really know how good she is until you go to someone else, and I had the misfortune of letting someone else do my digital perm a few months ago. It completely wrecked my hair into a crispy dry oblivion, and when I came to Days for help, my hair was just a complete mess. She helped me decide that because I’d have to wait for my hair to grow out before it started to look normal again and the ends were dead anyway, why not have some fun and do an ombré?
The ombré came out amazing, as expected, and I get so many compliments on a daily basis. She also taught me how to take care of my hair and made some great product recommendations.
Be sure to make appointments by phone ahead of time, because she runs the salon by herself and can’t take walk ins unless someone cancels. There is seriously no one better!

Days has been taking care of my hair for almost 2 years now (starting at her previous salon) and I wouldn’t trust it to anyone else. She is great about making suggestions for maintaining your hair in the best condition, and offers styling tips, too. She also provides a welcoming environment and the best customer service I’ve ever had in a salon. I get many compliments on my hair, and I owe it all to her.

This is the second time I’ve gone to Days for a digital perm. She’s super fast and my hair ends up silky and voluminous… perfect. Both times I’ve been very happy with the results. My hair isn’t crunchy or dry– it’s just the right everything. Days also asks if you prefer styling products or not, so if you don’t like shellacked helmet hair, you don’t have to walk out with it. Many other stylists are bullish about this for some reason, but at the Place, Days really LISTENS to what the customer wants, from beginning to end.
This review is also just for Days– she deserves major bonus points for being a grade A+ human being. As soon as I walked in, she asked where I was parked to make sure I wouldn’t get a ticket (parking in the outer Richmond can be frustrating to say the least). Later, she offered me green tea, crackers and a CUP OF NOODLES when she heard my beast stomach growling. She had me at hello. Days also ran out twice to check on my car and post a note on it saying I’d move it if necessary.
Days makes hair beautiful and is never aggressive. If you say you don’t do fancy things with your hair, she will listen and not create something you can’t/won’t do yourself later at home. She is attentive, meticulous and kind. She will wash, cut, dye and perm your hair like it is a sweet cherub baby from heaven. 5 stars and unicorns galloping off into rainbows for Days!

I came here around July 4^th week and Days was all booked! But she was able to squeeze me in and let me start 30 minutes before the store hour :) Super kind!
She’s really talkative and gives a lot of advice on hair care and suggestions! I also told her my life problems and she gave excellent advice as well!
I also loved that she’s the only person working and you’re the only customer. I didn’t have to wait in a chair for other customers to finish up.

Daisy… She likes to be called Days… Is a one man show that runs this place!
I had to put on a review for this amazing super talented hair stylist. She came recommended by a friend after I complimented her hair cut.
So I decided to try it.
Super cute, quaint place in inner Richmond.
She started me right on time. Her attention to detail all the way from washing my hair, to a relaxing massage and then the haircut… She listened carefully to my needs and added great suggestions!
She is definitely a young upcoming star!

I was referred to Days by a mommy friend about 3 years ago when I was looking for a salon who could do digital perm.
Before going to Days, I had experience having digital perm on my long hair with other two asian salons in the Bay Area including supposedly the authentic one — I said that because the salon owner/​master stylist is a Japanese and the shop is located in SF Japan Town :-) Having been in other salons, that means I can speak with comparison here as far as digital perm and haircut concern.
On the skill and professional level, I am very happy with Days. That’s why I stick with her for about 3 years now. At the 1^st visit, Days would take time to analyze and discuss what hairstyle would look good before hurrying do the work like most other asian salons. I go to her for digital perm + haircut twice a year and remain keeping my hairstyle the same for all these years I’ve been going to her, but every time I see her she would always take her time to discuss again like I am her new client. She is meticulous.
I did find my hair came out look better than the one I used to do it in Japan Town.
She just recently went independent by running her salon all by herself. I salute her for her determination to take a big step in her life making her dream and passion comes true. That makes me want to leave this review for her because she deserves it.

Days moved from Star East on 10^th and clement to her own salon!
Days is amazing, she had cut my hair previous times and she is so meticulous with hair cuts. She always asks during the haircut if this is the correct length and asks how do you style your hair and makes sure it looks good. I told her i like to put my hair up in ponytails when working out and she put my hair up and asked if my bangs looked fine the way it was. I didn’t like it and she trimmed them until I was satisfied. She’s experienced and good at what she does. She does get busy especially on weekends, if possible try to book her on a weekday! She’s very honest about your hair texture and always gives you pointers on how to improve your hair. Love getting hair cuts from her, hopefully I can get a digital perm from her in the future.
Total: $ 35 with tip

I accidentally found Days on Unilocal and decided to give her a try. I’d had hair coloring done in Texas about half a year ago and my natural hair has grown out quite a bit. So I asked her to do a touch up to have the root match the rest of my hair in color. I can say for sure this coloring job is the best that I have ever had in my life. The new color exactly matches the existing color (wow didn’t know if that was even possible lol). Also she was extremely friendly and provided excellent customer service. I have another appointment in a month and I cannot wait what miracle she can do on my hair :)

I decided to go to Days for a digital perm after reading so many great reviews about her, and was excited to see she opened her own salon just blocks from my house! Let me tell you, she does not disappoint — she is the best stylist I have ever been to. My digital perm came out fantastic; I have very fine Asian hair and was worried it wouldn’t take or look good. She gave me a consultation first, and explained everything along the way so I felt very comfortable. I forgot to bring my iPad, and she let me borrow hers! She offered me tea, always checked on me, and made sure I was comfortable. I was very happy with the end result. She was also very accommodating when I wanted to change my appointment to a sooner date. Her prices are very reasonable also. I may wind up going to her for hair color as well. I will feel bad ditching my stylist I’ve gone to for years :(but Days is absolutely amazing!

2 years ago, I came to Days while she was at Star East and had a beautiful digital perm done. It lasted until it grew out a year later and when I was too cheap to shell out the money to get another digital perm, I made the mistake of getting a regular perm at another salon and it ruined my hair. My hair was frizzy, it broke, I couldn’t brush it, it was horrific. There would be days where I would be frustrated, just feeling embarrassed and ugly. My last resort, come back and ask for help. Days was honest, patient and very meticulous about my horribly damaged hair. She was very realistic about what to expect, which with our fingers crossed, went at it. She did a digital straightening and after a couple of hours of constant checking, very cautious formulating and very specific timing of different applications on different areas, low and behold, she not only repaired my hair, but it looked healthier than it ever has. Days saved my hair. A year later, I’m still getting compliments on it. She is amazing and I well never dare go to anyone else again. Thanks Days!
*I have posted a pic on the amazing repair that she did*

Ive been going to days for about 3 years now. Every experience never falls short of amazing. Shes attentive, creative, and great at multitasking. Shes always double checking to make sure everything is ok every step of the way. Ive done digital perming, haircuts, and alll types of hair coloring at her place n its worth every penny of it. Price is very decent for all her work. Shes not one of those stylists that will giv u whatever u want even if shes knows it wont look right. She’ll let u kno, giv u alternative options n then let u decide. She seriously is gifted at what she does.
So this time, i wanted to color my fading brown hair to black-​blue n dye the bottom layer purple n trim it bac to shape. Sounds dramatic but turned out beautiful. N i wouldnt trust anyone else but days with this kind of project.

This is my third review that I have written for Daisy, more known as Days. From four years back when she was at Nicole’s on Irving to StarEast on Clement, she finally owns her very own salon and works solo. ~Place Hair Salon is her new baby and I know it’ll become successful with her huge fan base (which she fully deserves).
The feel and look of the salon get an A+ from me! I asked her why she named her salon «Place» and she said that she wanted it simple and her salon reflects exactly that! It’s not a huge place, but very modern décor and the feel of the place is very relaxing. If you take a look around, you’ll notice the small touches here and there: the wooden clock, the plant on the front desk, the sleek business card holder.
There isn’t anything to be said about Daisy that I haven’t said before. She’s very knowledgable about hair and very approachable and friendly. She listens to what you want and gives you suggestions if you ask. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a go-​to hair stylist!

My husband and I have been going to Days for over a year (when she was still at StarEast Hair Salon) and have found her professional, friendly and detailed-​oriented. I initially went to Days for a Japanese digital perm and not only did it turn out beautifully but she gave many helpful hair care tips along the way. I have found myself returning to her time after time as she provides honest opinions and always manages to cut my hair is a way that is flattering to my face shape. I would highly recommend!

Haircut was great and Days’ service was attentive. I like the look and feel of the place.

Days is awesome! I had my haircut and color with days for long time since she’s at Stareast salon. Now she just opened a new salon at 26^th Ave between Geary & clement st, which is more comfortable and nice. Excellent hairstyle and fabulous colors. really highly recommended.
