Jason Richard Hairstylist

I can pay Richard no bigger compliment than to tell you that I moved to San Diego on 2004 and I still fly up to San Francisco to have Richard style my hair. I will follow him wherever he goes. \r \r About 4-5 years ago, I moved to San Francisco and was without a stylist. One day while shopping, I ran into someone with hair of the same length and texture as mine. Her cut was fabulous. I asked her who she went to and I was referred to Richard who I have been seeing ever since. During the first consult, I was amazed at the mistakes he found in my cut. He showed me imbalances, cuts made in haste and color issues and then corrected everything.\r \r It is impossible to exaggerate how talented he is. Firstrate and flawless come to mind. I have had great stylists my whole life but Richard is, by far, the best. You will be hard-pressed to find someone more patient, honest, and skilled. I cannot begin to tell you how much he has accomodated my schedule and distance issues-above and beyond. He prides himself on precision and as a result, my cuts grow out beautifully and always look fresh. I often tell Richard that he does sucha good job that I don't have to come in as often as I would with someone else. He's just too good!\r \r Once you go to Richard, you will never go anywhere else. He makes me look AND feel great. \r Pros: skill,,skill, skill, price, location, great stylist and colorist, customer service, no product pushing more

My friend Denise recommended Richard. As a guy, I wasn't thrilled at the prospect of going to a salon, but I was tired of settling for cheap ""supercuts."" At that point, I was rudderless, having gone months without a haircut, so I figured it couldn't hurt. He took one look at me and knew exactly what I needed. Richard's haircuts are great. I've been going to him for three years now, and I have no intention of going anywhere else. Longer, shorter - he is versatile and has an uncanny sense of what looks best. Richard is also a great guy and an entertaining conversationalist. Highly recommended. more

I just had my hair highlighted (9/28) by Jason for the first time. He did an excellent job consulting with me and making me feel comfortable. I was really pleased with the results. In a city full of prima donna hair stylists and colorists, he is a breath of fresh air. I would definitely see him again. more

Richard was recommended to me by a friend with similar long, wavy hair and I just love him. He quickly fixed a previously bad cut. He knows what works best for your face and your hair type. He definitely knows hair. And Richard is both quick and super friendly, so you feel relaxed and comfortable. You leave superstar fab. \r -- Michelle Pros: styling, ambience, friendliness more

I actually met Richard through my previous hairdresser; and I am so glad we met. She left me in great hands. He is an excellent hair designer. My hair is short, however, Richard manages to style it beautifully; and his ideas on coloring are really advanced. He is very respectful of his clients, and his prices are reasonable. I hope to keep Richard as my hair stylist. - Cornelia\r \r \r Pros: Convenient Union Square location more

I was referred to Jason Richard by my coworker and what a great recommendation. I moved to San Francisco a year ago and had 2 other recommendations both complete letdowns. This guy is GREAT with blondes....his higlights are impeccable and the cut he gives it good enough to save me time on styling. Best of all his prices are completely reasonable. He puts creativity, and technique and attention to detials in every visit and I always get tons of complements! more

I travelled almost 40 miles for my appointment with Jason Richard and with it came the apprehension of trying a new colorist. I immediately liked Jason - he was very attentive and listened intently when we discussed what my expectations were. He is a perfectionist and a true artist. I left the studio with exactly how I wanted my hair to look. He clearly understood what I had envisioned. I also loved the studio's ambiance - great staff, great listening music, and fresh air. The stations are next to a large window where you can actually breathe in fresh air. Last but not least - he has a great smile! I'll definitely be following-up with him. more

Celebrity styling without the attitude...\r Finally divorced myself from same stylist after too many years, \r took a chance on someone new and the experience was better than I ever could have hoped. Jason-Richard is the real thing. Subtle highlights, just the right cut, seems to be an expert in ""developing"" a style specifically for the individual. Five Stars!! Pros: Listens, and really seems to care more

Jason has been cutting and highlighting my hair for nearly 4 years. I am always happy with the cut and color from the time I walk out of the salon until I return. He is very good at updating my basic haircut so it never looks out of style. more

I have been getting haircuts from Jason Richard for several months and find him extremely responsive. He gives me the cut I want, whether by my discription or from a photo that I bring to him. He takes time with me, and is very exacting in order to give me the cut I desire. To top it all off, he is also lots of fun!\r Lisa Pros: Prime location in Union Square, so easy to get to from Bart, Muni or driving. Flexible appointment scheduling. Friendly staff more

I just recently got my hair done this past weekend. I love when I can just show Jason a picture of a style that I want and he always gives it to me! He'll make sure the color and or cut fits me.\r more

JASON RICHARD, WHO I WAS REFERED TO BY A FRIEND, STATED HE KNEW WHAT I NEEDED THE MINUTE HE SAW ME; HOWEVER, HE LISTENED TO MY NEEDS AND WE CAME TO AN AGREEMENT. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS AND HIS PROFESIONALISM. I WILL CONTINUE TO SEE HIM AGAIN. more

I've been going to Jason Richard for years, and he's a master at creating a really good haircut. I've always trusted his recommendations--which can be a real mistake with some stylists--and have never been disappointed. He takes the time to make sure everything is just right. more

Richard has been taking care of me and my hair for years now. The first time I saw Richard, I was going through hair hell, in the beginning phases of letting my bangs grow out. I needed help with my style, and I needed to find someone to understand that I like my highlights to look natural both during the first month I receive them, and during the fourth month of grow out. I walked in to see Richard; he listened to me and my concerns; he offered his own thoughts and ideas, and the outcome was and is perfect. Always perfect. My best friend (Brian) sees Richard, and now my sister, who LOVES her highlights. Again, I wouldn't trust my hair to anyone else! Pros: Convenient location, Flexible scheduling, Great conversation more

Richard is absolutely the best. Period. As a flight attendant, no matter where I'm based, I always make the extra effort to fly in to San Francisco to get him to do my hair. Yes, he's that good. He listens, he's upbeat, and he knows how to make you gorgeous. What more could anyone want? Pros: Creative, Knows color, Great haircuts more

I spent a long time trying to find someone who could cut my curly hair. I finally found Richard. He knows that I do not like to spend a lot of time on my hair so he found a style that works for me. I also get a lot of compliments on my hair coloring. He works with you to develop the right coloring that will make you look good. You'll love going to him. more

I have A LOT of hair. It's really thick and curly and Richard always does a great job. I had highlights and color, and it looks great.

The best part about Jason Richard is the flexible accomodations. He will always try to schedule you in at a time that works for you, even last minute.
