Hair By Kate - San Francisco - (415) 377-8944

I have a hectic work schedule and need to try to get in for a cut on a day I might have off. I mentioned this to Kate and she was more than happy to try to accomodate me on a walk- in/call-in type basis. So far, it's worked out good and on the one or two times I had to change the appointment, she was more than understanding and didn't make me feel bad or guilty for having to move it. I really needed this type of haircut arrangement. It's a relief to find someone who gives me an excellent haircut and is FLEXIBLE. I've had more than my share of bad cuts and people making me wear smocks/gowns in the salon, have to make an appt. when leaving, etc. I don't want all the frills (although Kate has it if you do want that). Suffice it to say, I'm ecstatic I found Kate and plan to see her for as long as I have hair on my head! Oh, and she offers free neck trims to her regular clients. She helps make my life a little less hectic.

I like Kate's personality, and how she cuts and color my hair. The trick to me staying with a hairstylist, is they need to give good cuts and good, natural looking highlights,- but I have to really like them too. I found these requirements when I met Kate. I work with a gal that has gone to Kate for quite awhile and I kept looking at her hair and really liking it. I finally called Kate for an appointment and was lucky to get in, she was all filled up that week, but was willing to come meet me on a Mon. a.m.. I thought it was so gracious of Kate, I don't even know if she works on Monday's. She patiently listened to what I wanted my hair to look like, and proceeded to make it happen. I love my highlights, and the cut. I have long hair and she only cut what I requested. I have made another appointment for March and look forward to it.

I was referred to Kate of Hair By Kate about 5 years ago. I had a gal cut my hair for many years and then she moved out of state. I asked around at my local coffee store, restaurant, for a good referral and Kate's name came up more than once. I like it when the local folks in the area know the best person to go to, for a men's cut in this instance. Kate lived up to their praise in a big way. She helps me keep it looking consistent, not that just cut look. I make an appointment when I leave for 4 weeks down the road and stop in after work. This set up makes my life easy and the 5 star world class rating on here is appropriate for Kate and her excellent cutting, customer service skills. Kate is recommended.
