Salon Picasso

First time got my haircut here:)
I always do my hair somewhere else but that salon was full so I called and tried this new one.
It was such a big change from long hair to short hair, I was afraid it would not come out looking good. But it does! I love my new short hair style.
Gory is really nice and he knows what you want.
Reason that I gave 4 instead of 5 is because the price is kinda of expensive, It cost me 50 dollars to get a shampoo+ haircut+blow dry (plus 5dollar tip) and the salon I always go is only 35 dollars.
but will come back:)

The owner Cory is a great guy and very easy to talk to. I was nervous about finding a new stylist after moving to SF due to my thick asian hair, and I am so glad I found this place! He definitely knows what he is talking about and does a great job. Highly recommended! Very reasonable pricing too!

I’ve been going to Cory for as far back as I can remember over 10 years. Even though I may have gone to someone here and there… I’ve always come back and am always happy with my cuts! He’s always willing to provide recommendations whether it be for something new, some issues with my hair, etc. Definitely strong recommendation!

Cory is just amazing. I am debuting a chic new haircut this evening that I completely adore! He is a total artist. I was very impressed with how much he consulted with me beforehand, walked me through how he would layer the back and then went to work. He exceeded my expectations. And he’s so incredibly nice. I am one lucky girl to have found this genius right in my North Beach neighborhood. I couldn’t be happier!

I saw Cory today after not seeing him for many years. First, He spent some time looking at my current cut. We discussed what i wanted and he made some suggestions. Then he went to work… It’s a pretty basic chic bob with layers, but Cory did a fantastic precision job and at a great price. I’m a happy camper!

Cory’s salon is the kind of place you find and never look elsewhere again. He’s friendly and does a fenomenal job at a great price! What more can you ask?

Cory is awesome. I can’t speak to the negative review — she might have posted it about the wrong place. Salon Picasso is owned and run by one person, and as an Asian guy looking for a place to get a decent cut, Cory really nails it. I walked in not sure what I wanted — I just knew the previous ways I had gotten my hair cut wasn’t quite right for me and Cory was able to give great suggestions and an awesome cut. Definitely going back.

When I first moved here I needed to find a place to get my haircuts. Found out that I lived 1 minute away from this Barber and decided to check it out. Well people its been 3 years and I schedule an appointment as soon as I’m done with my haircut for the next cut! This is the only guy that I will let touch my hair I’m picky and like things done the proper way. If you want the best Corey is the best. Polite, professional, old fashioned, enthusiastic, and understandable.

Cory is awesome. I’ve been going to him since I moved to the city 6 years ago. Have tried out more expensive salons, but they didn’t do nearly as good of a job. Cory’s been cutting hair forever and he knows what he’s doing. He’s the owner of this place and the only one that works here, so you don’t have to worry about getting someone less talented when you book. Highly recommended!

Cory is the best. No matter what event, interview, or date I have, I’d rather show up with shaggy hair than get my hair cut elsewhere — this coming from a guy with commitment issues.
Always warm and friendly to talk to, appointments start on time, and I can trust Cory enough to come in and say «let’s try something new», close my eyes for half an hour, and hop out with a new style, just like that. And even though I sometimes start off skeptical, his work always turns out looking like a winner.
Cory knows hair and is a true rockstar. Be sure to book a few days in advance, and bring cash. Supply and demand, right?

I’ve been going to Cory for years. He is very skilled and does a good job. He will never double books appointments, so you will not wait long at all.

Cory is one righteous dude. One star for that.
He was able to see me that day, which was good because I’d been working for 3 weeks straight and didn’t know when I’d have another day off to get a cut. Another star.
My normal person over in the Financial District was booked for the day so I looked on Unilocal and saw that Salon Picasso was just a few blocks away. Third star. So far, so good.
Cory is really friendly and not afraid to tell you what he thinks would look good on you and — let’s be frank — he knows hair. I told him that I’m not wild on putting stuff in my hair (who needs to take more time in the morning to get ready?) and what I generally wanted and he delivered. Fourth star.
Finally, it was only $ 23. Five stars!
I’ll definitely be back when I need another cut!

Cory is a real master at his craft. He understands head shape, hair growth direction, and bone structure. He’s great at giving you a haircut that looks good for your shape of head and hair type. My haircuts from him always look very natural. He is reasonably priced, very friendly, and he takes his time to make sure the cut is right. Cash only. Make an appointment.

I don’t want to date myself but Cory’s has been cutting my hair for over 15 years… I was young when I started coming here.
Here’s the fun story about how that happened. Way back when before the Internet was really popular, my friend looked in the phone book and pick salon Picasso because she liked art. We both came for different haircut/​hairstyle but I really liked mine and have stayed with him since.
He’s colored, conditioned, cut short when I gave my hair to locks of love, trim my long hair style, and now I’m back to shorter… Full circle.
Oh yea, I have moved to Las Vegas for the last 5 years and still only see him for my hair needs. I kill multiple birds with my trip back to sf stone. That reminds me, I thinks it’s time to go back to sf. See you soon Cory.

Cory does a great job listening to what you want, he doesn’t charge an arm and a leg and he’s an all round nice guy

I had been searching for a hair stylist for 6 months before finding Cory. Every other place I went to in the same price range and location were simply not wow’ing me. Like another reviewer commented, Cory knows my hair and he often has openings during the week after work hours, which is perfect for me. So I’m sticking with Salon Picasso.
Cory takes the time the listen to my ideas, and then build off of them, he makes suggestions, we talked it through and the whole conversation is positive and easy to understand because I’m not a hair expert. I always walk away with a hair cut that I like and I have gotten more hair compliments too!

I’ve been keeping long hair (below shoulder) and cutting hair myself for almost 10 years, and I really wanted to try a pro salon with reasonable price. So did my girl friend. We decided to try Salon Picasso based on it’s previous very positive reviews. we both were VERY HAPPY with Cory’s cutting!!! He was very good at picking out and adapting a hairstyle that you chose to fit you well.
Also, Cory gave me some tips about how to care my hair, as well as how to keep the hairstyle after leaving the salon. I have not cut my hair shorter than above my shoulder in the past 9+ years, and before I always tide my curly hair up, so my hair either did not look curly or looked very fuzzy. Cory suggested me to cut it short yet still stylish, and let my naturally curly hair show all the beautiful curves. Although now I’m still not quite confident with my new short hairstyle, EVERY ONE of my friends LOVES it!!:)
I have decided to only let Cory cut my hair from now on and definitely will come back every two months.:)

My first hair cut in the City. I needed a good place that’s within walking distance from my apt. Cory was all booked up when I called, but he decided to fit me in on 8:30am on a Sunday. Having carried a bad haircut from my previous barber for a month, I was desperate.
When Cory met me, he was very patient, took the time to listen which part of my hair was wrong and right, now I’m not a fuzzy guy at all, it was just a bad hair cut that grew so much that I had to explain some part sitting on top of my head isn’t by my choice. Anyways, he then snipped and chopped me back to normal. Love it.

Thursday, 3:30PM
Me: «Hi, I need a haircut BAD. When is your next available appointment?
Cory: «How about right now?»
Me: «OK great!»
I left work and scurried down through Chinatown across from Northstar. I was greeted by a pleasant man looking over my gigantic mane and seeing why I needed a haircut ASAP.
We chatted as he played with my hair and we negotiated on how much to cut off (I’m very attached to my locks). He was very attentive and was able to translate my somewhat haphazard description of what I was looking for.
RESULT: love the cut! He took me a little out of my comfort zone but it worked! I received numerous compliments on it. He really knows what he’s doing. I am the type of person to not want to spend much over $ 20 for a haircut but for Salon Picasso at $ 45 (cash only), I will definitely be going back!

I just got through deleting the other bookmarked salons because I found the one that I’ll be going to as long as I live in North Beach! Salon Picasso!
I moved here last month and wanted to find a stylist who would cut my hair the way I’m used to back home. And having Asian hair doesn’t make the task any easier. You see, I went to the same stylist for about 18 years! So when I came to SF, I was a little hesitant to go anywhere. But as my hair got longer, I was forced to explore! I did my research and because my fellow Unilocalers recommended Cory at Salon Picasso, I decided to walk in and give it a try…
The thing I like about Cory is that he is very attentive. You won’t be disappointed with the level of customer service here. Also, Cory listens to what you like. After sorting out the many quirks I have about my hair, Cory made some very great suggestions that really made my haircut look fantastic! I didn’t get the typical Asian male haircut that I see around the city, but instead got a haircut that is unique to me.
Needless to say, I left extremely happy and will be going back again and again!
P. S. If you’re new to town, ask Cory for suggestions on where to eat. I got a few great ones that I plan to explore while I’m here!
P. S.S. Oh yeah, the prices are great too!
