It was such a great experience. He fixed the brassy color I had in my hair and really didn't like. I felt comfortable because he knew what he was doing. It was great. It was a relaxing experience. I love the way it turned out! I needed my hair color fixed and he did it perfectly! What more could I ask for :) Pros: He definatly knew what he was doing.

Jason is an incredible stylist, but better than that, a great person. I have been seeing Jason for years - never disappointed - in fact, each cut is better than the one before. Jason listens to what you have in mind and then creates something better than you could have ever imagined. He is warm, caring, and down to earth despite the fact that he is talented enough to be a jerk, egoface, divahead(and he would still be worth going to).He is also sensitive to when you want to talk, and when you just don't feel up to it. I've lived here for over 20yrs, and Jason is one of the best discoveries that I have made Pros: all things positive Cons: not a thing

My mother always told me: Once you find a good hairstylist to keep it to yourself, but, Jason Richard is a jewel and if any of you have had a bad haircut, color, etc. then you will know how I felt before I walked in to see him. I went in for a consultation and I had bleached bleached bleached blond hair it had some orange some yellow some white and it was fried! He showed me some pictures of what he was planning to do with my hair and I immediately felt at ease. For the first time I was excited for my hair appointment. It has been almost a month since I have gotten my hair done and I have kept receiving compliment after compliment on my hair. He made me feel confident again. He found the perfect color for me Even though my hair was so damaged to begin with it feels smoother and shinier and the color is amazing! I am absolutely going to go back! For all you blonds that are having a hard time finding that perfect color go see Jason Richard you will not be disappointed. Pros: Great Hairstylist Great Company Cons: a little pricey but worth it!

This curious brunette turned blonde in Jason's hands, and the transition has been so seamless ("rootless" - literally!) that many old friends even see my "Jason blonder" hair as natural!! I was the only one getting used to it, but I love it and will keep it. In addition, Jason, although in high demand, works with my schedule and needs with flexibility of a friend - I guess that is what "being treated like a celebrity" ultimately is all about. The best kept secret that I would like to keep...well, for myself. Pros: perfect ly colored hair, that lasts. full stop. Cons: drawbacks...?

I have been trying to find a great hairstylist in SF for a few years now. For some reason, none of the 5 hairstylists I went to before Jason understood that I wanted bright blonde highlights and not a grey/ashy washed out look. I do not know why it was so difficult for them to understand what i want, but it got pretty frustrating after all these years. After my appointment with Jason, I finally love my highlights! All it took is one time. He understood exactly what I wanted and the result is awesome! I have gotten tons of compliments on my hair after my appointment. I definetely recommend Jason! Pros: Great result! Cons: none

After having my hair done at numerous salons over the years, I've fortunately found Jason. I finally feel that I have the color and cut I've been searching for - natural and easy. He asks the right questions and offers the right solutions. I have what I call "combination hair", half curly/half straight, and I'm getting a lot of gray. Jason knows exactly what it needs and I can just leave it up to him. While there are many, a couple of the other things I appreciate about Jason are that he's a great conversationalist and a downright fabulous guy.

I have just moved to Bay Area from NYC. I needed a new stylist for my wavy/curly hair and I found Jason Richard on this website. Having service at Devachan and Curlisto salons in NYC, I was very skeptical before my appointment. Before cutting my hair, Jason listened to me very carefully, lifted my hair differently to show how my new style will look like, and even drew me a picture of my future look :). He has his own approach to curly hair different from Devachan and Curlisto (he wets and shampoos hair before the cut), but the result is amazing! Richard is a very talented stylist! He made my best haircut ever! I received a lot of complements from my co-workers and friends. I highly recommend him! Is is worth to drive 140 mi.

I've been getting blonde highlights and my haircut all over this city for the past 6 years, jumping from salon to salon to find the right balance of talent/cost. Usually they do mediocre to good job the first time around, which grows out into something unexpectedly horrible and then they can't make anything good of it come the second time around (and they don't even know it!) And it goes downhill from there. Jason breaks the mold, by far. I have never received the amount of compliments on my hair as I do when I get it done by Jason. I was even getting compliments 12 weeks after I had last seen Jason! My highlights lasted an incredible 16 weeks without looking horrendous (I kinda like the dark contrast, but also have naturally light hair). Jason had to do major damage control of cleaning up a horrible last haircut (too many uneven, short/long contrasting layers in my long hair) and fixing a golden/orange tone job from the previous stylist. He did this and so much more. The blonde was matched perfectly to compliment my skin tone, the haircut is clean and stylish - not messy uneven layers, and he is very competitively priced. Not to mention that he is extremely professional, on time, very intuitive and focused. He always listens to me and seems to know exactly what I am thinking. Not to mention cute and fun! And the salon - Wicked - is beautifully and simply decorated, conveniently located in Union Square and ran by a couple of other really nice stylists. No pressure to buy product and no attitude whatsoever. Actually, it's a very relaxing environment! You have to give Jason a try; you'll be happy you did. Pros: Jason's skills, salon ambience, overall value and service Cons: None!

If this salon experience didn't work out it was going to be my last. I was at the end of my ability to deal with my hair either by myself or with the "help" of over priced stylists. Having wild, over highlighted, frizzy, brassy long hair was obviously too much for every stylist I'd been to in SF to handle. Jason however, KNEW exactly what had to happen and he executed it brilliantly. He absorbed my hair-hate mentality and assured me that there could be love there. Ultimately I wanted soft, healthy curls that were sophisticated and workable. He gave me that and more. Because my hair was in such a disastrous state, he gave me two extra treatments that I'm certain he didn't charge me for. He said it will make his job easier in the future. Well, it's made my life easier now. The color is amazing. It's my natural blonde with depth and gloss. The cut has allowed my curls to really coil and the texture is unbelievably soft. I didn't think my hair could feel like this without being straightened and flat ironed. I'm incredibly grateful to him. If you have curly unmanageable hair, run, don't walk to Jason. Pros: wonderful overall salon experience Cons: parking down there is expensive or a pain

Jason is the most committed and talented stylist I know... and I know many. I feel completely safe and confident that I can turn my hair over to Jason and he will deliver a style and color perfect for me. For years I was tired of my color looking brassy and hearing "your hair just pulls red." I now have a rich, creamy, delicious color with no brass. I highly recommend him to everyone no matter what your hair type. You will leave looking and feeling fabulous!
