Want liquid straight hair? Go to Blair 12/5/2006

I recently had the Japanese Ionic straightening process by Blair and I am thrilled with the outcome. My hair was course and wavy and now it is silky smooth. She took time to explain the process, evaluate my hair, and she was gentle and thorough in completing it. She also uses high quality products that infuse your hair with negative ions so that moisture is retained. ( She can explain better than I can) For years I wanted slick straight hair and I would spend lots of time and money on straightening irons. My ends would be damaged and as soon as I washed my hair, it would go wavy. Now, I can let my hair dry naturally and it is rock star slick. The process does take a few hours but she is so cheerful and knowledgeable that it passes quickly. People tell me my hair looks so shiny. I am so happy. - Dr. Janice Wang Pros: great staff, high quality products, attention to detail and client comfort Cons: parking more

Justin Welch is the best colorist in San Francisco 7/5/2006

Justin at Berenice salon has been cutting and coloring my hair for ten years now and has always done an incredible job. Even though my hair is naturally quite grey, none of my friends or co-workers have any idea until I tell them! I thought that covering my grey was going to mean that it would have to have a flat, monochromatic look, but Justin keeps my hair color very multidimensional and healthy-looking at the same time. His work is very natural and very consistant, yet he always offers creative suggestions for change (which I almost never take him up on, because I like my hair so much the way it is now.) I have refered tons of my friends (and family) to this talented artist, and they always end up loving him as much as I do. He's a great conversationalist and is always up on what's going on in the city. If you are looking for a stylist that knows what he's doing, is friendly, and reasonablely priced, I can't reccomend Justin highly enough. more

Welcoming salon and excellent haircut 6/6/2006

I highly recommend going to Carlos at Berenice Salon for a haircut and/or color. I followed Carlos from another salon and couldn't be happier with him. He's not only a wonderfully nice and accomodating person but he is a GREAT hairstylist and colorist. Pros: Carlos is fabulous, welcoming and relaxing salon Cons: Doesn't take credit cards more

Great Salon 6/2/2006

What a fabulous salon!!!! I've been going here for many years and as I walk in the door I always feel like I've come home. The staff is friendly and the quality of haircuts and hilights that I have gotten from the owner Karen, keeps me coming back. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a great new look. Pros: reasonably priced, great hilights, great cuts more

Julie Rocks! 5/21/2006

I've been going to Julie Sharp since she started at DavaDava in 1997. She is always on time, extremely creative, and her blonde highlights are her expertise; not to mention her sense of humor. A great experience to be had by all. I highly recommend Julie! Try her out for yourself! more

an hour of heaven 5/17/2006

I have been going to Lila at Dava Dava for over 10 years for waxing and facials. Not only is she good at what she does, she is a wonderful, bright warm woman who, while taking care of your face makes you feel good. She is up to date on the latest in skin care and her prices are reasonable. The receptionist is wonderful. Do yourself a favor and call for an appointment or drop in, you won't be sorry. more

carlos is wonderful 3/2/2006

I have followed Carlos from previous salon around the corner to here at Berenice, and I am very happy I did. Although Berenice is not quite as glamourous as mercer it makes up with a personable friendly atmosphere. All the same perks are there, sparkling water, tea, wine or whatever i wanted, my cut was great as always from Carlos, and everyone seemed happy to be there. Nice spot on the second floor looking out over Union street Pros: Carlos, Relaxed, Professional Cons: parking more

Carlos treats each haircut like a piece of art 2/24/2006

Carlos is new to Berenice, but not the Marina area. I have been going to Carlos about once a month for the last year. He takes such pride in his work and is always looking for his client's approval. He is very serious about his trade and treats each haircut like a piece of art. You'll be in good hands with Carlos. Incidentally, those hands give a fantastic scalp massage as well. Pros: natural light, fantastic stylist, friendly front desk Cons: small space more

Go elsewhere for waxing 1/12/2006

I have been to Dava Dava twice... never again. I initially went here on a friend's recommendation (a friend who only get s a normal bikini wax, not a brazilian). The waxer was nice enough but seemed to pride herself on being "quick" at the expense of being sloppy. Also, she completely ignored "back there" until I asked for it to be waxed as well. Pros: easy to get appt. Cons: sloppy results more

Justin Douglas Welch at Berenice is my hair hero! 10/12/2005

Justin is amazing with color. He has been cutting and coloring my hair for 5 years- the longest relationship I've ever had! As an educator for Goldwell haircolor, I feel he is one of the most knowledgeable colorists I've ever worked with. Over the years, he's made me a beautiful brunette, honey/wheat-blonde, and vibrant copper red-head. His results are always natural looking and my hair feels incredible after he works his magic. His haircuts are precise and easy to work with and I love the way he blow-dries my hair. (If only I could make it look as good!) Berenice is very relaxed salon- no big city salon attitude here! more

See Tami for Super Color and Cut 8/10/2005

If been going to Tami for almost 10 years now. I've referred many friends and family to her and they have been just as happy as I am. She stays on top of all the latest trends for cut and color. If your looking for great color and precision haircuts, she is the one to see. more

Finally! 6/30/2005

I went to this salon as well based on the reviews of others. I was SO pleased with my haircut! I have EXTREMELY thick hair, and I have always struggled to find a way to make it look thinner and more flattering. Joanna was able to thin it out without making it look choppy or strange, and it doesn't need to be "done" every day to look nice, which to me, is a huge bonus! I can just wash and go, which I think is the earmark of a great haircut! I would recommend this salon to anyone! Pros: friendly staff, reasonably priced, great cuts Cons: parking more

Hip & trendy Union Street salon 1/20/2003

I've been getting my hair done at Dava Dava for a few years now and I've always walked away elated with my experience. The salon walls are adorned with unique pieces of art from local artists. The staff is friendly, creative, and accommodating. Every time I get my hair done, friends, family, and coworkers constantly compliment and inquire about the new style. Highly recommended! more
