Salon Mio Mio

Priscilla Gochez took such amazing care of me on my wedding weekend. She styled my hair on both the morning of my ceremony at City Hall and the afternoon of my reception, two days in a row. She accommodated me by traveling to me twice and worked around my odd hours on those days. She also styled my sister’s and mom’s hair on the reception day. Everyone’s hair looked fabulous!
She did an updo for my reception and it stayed put all day without looking like it was overly styled. I didn’t have to mess with it even once. We did a trial prior to the big day and I’m glad we did. I ended up deciding to do something a little different than my original concept and she did something magical and beautiful under a time crunch and in the first attempt the day of. It was perfect and exactly what I wanted. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

Gilbert is awesome, and a master with color. He transformed me from feeling like a soccer mom to feeling fabulous, and that’s a difficult task some days! Gilbert is always upbeat and positive and the salon itself is clean and inviting. I will keep going back.

Veronica Lopez is amazing. I have been getting my hair highlighted and cut by her for 15 years. She does a great job. I highly recommend her! Love the atmosphere at mio mio. Great location in Noe.

Gilbert never lets me down. He is always professional and personable. I like to change my hair up at least yearly and he always has fresh ideas and takes his time to get it right. I drive from Santa Cruz to SF just so he can style my hair. If I could I would easily give him a 10!

I finally got the wedding color of my dreams and wanted to update my previous review (which was also 5 stars). Honestly, if I could provide Gilbert with 6 or 7 stars, I completely would. He’s phenomenal.
I had a very intricate wedding hair color that I was going for — it was a blend of 3 – 4 different colors and had tones of auburn, caramel and chestnut. Essentially, it was a look that required a blend of several different techniques including balayage, highlights and more, and Gilbert was completely un-​phased like a pro! At the beginning of our session, he asked me for my input and talked to me about his elaborate plans to blend all the colors together. And I watched him work away his magic from 9am to 4pm! I kid you not — it was an all day endeavor as Gilbert is such a perfectionist and settles for nothing less than exactly what you want.
There was a point when Gilbert completed my look and I left the salon quite pleased. However, upon reflecting with a few friends, I wanted to remove one of the purple-​ish shades at the base. So I went back to Gilbert and was a little embarrassed to ask him to redo this change after all the time he spent perfecting it. However, he made me feel completely at ease, mentioned that my satisfaction was of his utmost importance and flawlessly executed the change I was hoping for.
The look was even better than what I had envisioned and I was so impressed with what a color aficionado he truly is!
I sincerely recommend Gilbert for any coloring needs that you have, regardless of how simple or complex they may be.
Thanks so much for making my wedding hair color so memorable, Gilbert!

Great looking salon with views of Noe Valley. I originally came here for a cut by Gilbert but ended getting the Kevin Murphy shine treatment also. It was so relaxing & nourishing will definitely be getting it again. The cut Gilbert did was also perfect, he listened to my concerns and did exactly what I asked for. A hidden Gem in the heart of Noe Valley.

My hair is soooooo pretty! I felt like I described what I wanted badly (I didn’t even know what I wanted), but Kristina got it PERFECT. Better than perfect, even. Plus there was a lot of really nice aromatherapy and massages included as part of my appointment. It overall an absolutely wonderful experience! Totally worth every penny.

I saw Hector for the first time yesterday. Beyond the ridiculously relaxing shampooing treatment, I had a great experience with him as my stylist at the salon. He listened to exactly what I wanted and offered suggestions to take it to the next level. I am so happy with my haircut! He also gave me some helpful insight about why I get so many fly-​aways (those darn hair bands, why didn’t anyone tell me sooner!). Thanks for a great haircut, Hector, I will be back!

I recently had a hair cut with Hector Ortiz. Hector is a great stylist and a great listener, warm and friendly. Loved the experience and the haircut! I strongly recommend him for men’s in addition to women’s hair!

I followed Dominick to Salon Mio Mio and was delighted to find that his new location is a fantastic little salon with great views. Of course Dominick continues to do a wonderful job with my hair. I went short about a year ago, and showed Dominick a picture of what I wanted and he did an amazing job — not only was it the exact haircut I wanted, but he made it work great with the shape of my face, and it grows out well. I get it cut once every 2 months, with a bang trim in between, and always look forward to going to see him. I recommend Dominick without hesitation.

Priscilla is so awesome! I rarely write Unilocal reviews, but I had such a good experience, I wanted to share. I’m a new client of Priscilla’s and she took her time to talk through everything before we got started. I had initially booked balayage, but she ended up recommending partial highlights, and I loved the result. She also gave me a great cut, but about two weeks later, I realized I wanted my hair much shorter than I had initially told her. She ended up taking me in that week for a second appointment to tweak the cut and she did an absolutely amazing job. Best salon experience I’ve had.

I followed Dominique to Salon Mio Mio because he is the best colorist I have ever had. I have long blond hair and his foil work blends completely naturally. His cuts are also stylish and always on point. I have recommended him to all my friends with long hair.

Saw Dominique today and as always he is committed to a perfect experience for the customer.
The combination of Dominique and the beautifully appointed and located Mio Mio salon makes for a great experience. Congratulations to the owner and the rest of the staff. I will look forward to regular appointments at Mio Mio with Dominique

I saw Dominique Courtois for the first time today and I’ll definitely be seeing him again. I’m a woman with very short hair, I didn’t show him any photos of other women or of me and I was about two weeks overdo for a cut. I explained what I wanted and how I «do» my hair. I went out on a limb here and Dominique nailed the cut! Exactly what I envisioned and then some. I don’t know how he got so much texture with the little hair on my head. I’m over joyed that I found a talented stylist who’s not just cutting hair on autopilot, he’s very precise and nice to interact with. Go see him now!

I’ve been going to Priscilla for a few years now and she’s by far the best! I have tons of hair. But she is extremely patient with my hair type. She is an excellent colorist and knows what will work best. I always leave my appointments with her looking and feeling amazing!

Priscilla is the best! I’ve been a client of hers for about 2 years now, and she always does a fantastic job! My natural color is a dark dirty blonde, and she’s always been able to make it golden blonde (and even platinum blonde) without using bleach. Also, I used to have bangs and she was able to help me grow them out without my hair looking awkward in between. It look a long time since my hair is down to my lower back.
Aside from Priscilla’s awesome skills at coloring, styling, and cutting, she’s a really sweet person and fun to talk to during my appointments.
I haven’t worked with anyone else at this salon, but everyone there is friendly and I always see other clients walking out with fantastic work. I highly recommend this salon!

Gilbert is amazing — great service and creative! Salon has a fun and relaxed vibe — fun music and fresh air in this upstairs studio in the heart of Now Valley shopping.

This salon is located on the corner of 24^th & Castro, found on the second level. Priscilla has been cutting and coloring my hair for the past couple years and never been disappointed with the outcome. She’s great at listening and very engaging with the client’s needs. She’s detailed and open minded to any style your creative mind can think of. Her opinions and feedbacks are reassuring especially if there are doubts whether on style or color. She’s really nice, funny, and easy to talk to. I can’t tell you how many times people have stopped me on the streets asking where I’ve gotten my hair done. Come to Salon Mio Mio and have Priscilla take care of you.

I saw Gilbert for a hair cut for the first time yesterday on 6−26−15. I heard about him from my good friend. She loved her experience and her hair looked great. Hands down, my haircut was excellent. Gilbert took a lot of time speaking with me/​looking at pictures to discuss and finalize what I want in a hair cut. He stopped several times throughout the haircut to discuss what I wanted next (Do I want this part shorter? longer? etc). Gilbert has a great, welcoming personality. It’s no surprise that I see so many positive reviews on Unilocal already. The salon space is beautiful with lots of warm light and some beautiful views of 24^th st. I will definitely be going back again and again.

I have been seeing Priscilla for a while now. I followed her here and this salon is great and everyone is really friendly. Priscilla has been with me from going blonde/​brown to black/​blue from that to all blue and now since I’m a soon mommy to be i thought I’d go back to my natural which is black add a subtle blue. Sounds confusing right?! Imagine how Priscilla manages to keep up with me. If you follow her work she does anything from natural color and cuts to crazy and creative coloring work. I refer all my friends, family and work clients to her. She is very easy going and sweet and the time flies when u are with her.

While reading one of my issues of Allure magazine, I came across an ad for a San Francisco Hair Stylist recognized for her talented work. Priscilla was working at a different salon in SF and continued to follow her talents to a new salon in Noe Valley.
Priscilla has cut, colored, and styled my hair. I am totally in LOVE with the final results! Any type of cut or style I want, she does it and goes above and beyond of my expectations. I always get compliments from complete strangers on a regular basis. Priscilla always takes the time to listen to what I want which has not always been the case when I visit a hairdresser. Now, I put all of my trust in her because I know, she will not fail to please me and my hair.
I am happy I found her at Salon Mio Mio which is in a cute neighborhood! Keep up the good work Priscilla!

Came here specifically to see Priscilla Gochez. The salon is beautiful, light, airy, and in a great location in Noe Valley. Parking was NOT hard to find believe it or not. They have KILLER espresso available at the salon which always makes it for me. But back to Priscilla, she is amazing. She has ALWAYS listened to my needs and gave me EXACTLY what I ask for. I am one of those that hates my hair being cut, and I don’t know how she does it but she manages to give me a trim while still making my hair look and feel long but at the same time healthy! Really, it blows my mind. She is excellent at color and has been doing a beautiful light hombre for me for a while now. She coaches me on how to keep my hair healthy and shiny and everything she says to do has actually worked!
I am active in the fitness world and don’t have much time to do my hair so we recently did a Brazilian Blowout and it has saved me LOADS of time while still giving me great hair. I feel so lucky to have found her and will be sticking with her as long as I am in the Bay Area (yes, I commute from east bay to see her)

Hector is the best. He did an amazing job on my hair. My children also love their cuts. Thank u hector for making me fabulous !!!

I have been working with Andrew Jae for the past 5 years! I love his work, his attention to detail, and what he delivers! Andrew Jae has been working his magic on my locks way before he received his license and let me say this. Only the best! Has real self taught talent enhanced by school! Look out world!
Andrew Jae does phenomenal color, hair extensions, AMAZING BLOWOUTS! –My blowout last 3 days (without dry shampoo) and 4 to 5 days (with dry shampoo). I have been to other stylist who have done «amazing blowouts» and as soon as I walk out the salon my hair goes flat and the life that was put in my hair stays at the door.
Go see Andrew Jae you won’t regret it! I look forward to seeing you when I visit SF but, if you’re in LA please let me know and I will be sure to get a group of gals together so that you can work your magic on!
XOXO,
Kat

Finally found him!
Came to the salon because the reviews on Unilocal were stellar, so I thought I’d give it a try.
Gilbert pays attention to what you say to him and what you need/​want and can manage as a daily routine.
Came with one picture, we talked about it and he made it happen.
Great experience all around.
