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 went with my friend to get her highlights done and she was nervous because she never gotten any but Hair By Kate was so good! Her hair came out really great and I defiantly would go there to touch up my own.
