Fabulous stylist find in Sonoma!! After relocating to the area from Europe, I was in desperate need of a cut/fresh look and highlights for my wild blonde hair. Len not only gave m...

All reviews seem positive

So glad I found you on Citysearch! 9/4/2008

I was fortunate enough to find this amazing stylist LEN on Citysearch. After reading his reviews and viewing his website, which was very impressive! I decided to make an appointment with him. I am so glad that I did! He totally lived up to all of the reviews written about him! I had tried several high-end salons here in the city, nobody seemed to get it right. Len listened to exactly how I wanted my hair(unlike the majority of stylists I tried before him) His skill level is obvious, he is highly detailed, and it was interesting to watch him cut my hair. He recommended products for my hair and made me feel welcome and comfortable. I will be back next time for color and my cut! I will recommend all of my friends and co-workers to this guy! Thanks Len! I am so glad I found you on Citysearch! Pros: His skill level, he listens! He recommends products! Convenient location, evening appts! Cons: A little expensive but I am worth it! Nothing else, Nada! more

Len you're the Bomb! 8/18/2008

Just left the other review on your salon listing. Sorry it's taken a while to leave this. My girl and I first started seeing Len at the salon he owned we were sorry to hear it closed. We followed Len to his new digs, cute, smaller than his old salon but nice. This guy knows how to cut some mean hair! whether you're looking for a men's cut (classic or cutting-edge) Len knows his stuff! My girlfriend also looks amazing every single time she goes to see Len. Besides he's a nice guy and listens to what a person wants. Thanks Man! You're the Bomb! Go see this guy! You'll thank me! Pros: Skill, nice guy, listens! Evening appts avail, Wine! Convenient parking nearby,Cute space Cons: Len would rather you pay tip seperate (cash or check) not on the card. Nothing else, Nada! more

Len I would follow you anywhere! 8/14/2008

I followed Len to his new salon (Level 4) from his old salon (Utopia) that he closed a few month's ago. I so miss his old space, it was beautiful! Oh well! Anyway, Len is the most amazing hairstylist and colorist I have ever had the pleasure of going to. I have lived in both Chicago and New York and Len can hold his own compared to the stylists in those cities! He always cuts my hair exactly the way I want it (I have been seeing him for over 6 years and haven't had 1 bad hair day Ladies!) He also does my highlight just right. He uses 3 different colors which creates a natural vibrant look (and which doesn't scream roots! after 6 weeks) now that's a talented colorist! So do yourself a favor, go see this amazing guy! He's nice, funny, personable, and will make you (and your hair) look like a million dollars! He's also a big believer in the right hair care products for your hair, so your hair doesn't look and feel like straw! Pros: Talented haircutter and colorist, Evening appointments, nice location(by the art galleries!) Wine Cons: He asks that tips be in the form of cash or check not on credit card, so know this before you go, even though he accepts credit cards, nothing else! more

Most amazing hair cut and style of my life. 8/10/2008

Giving Len carte blanche to do his best, he turned my thin, wavy mop of hair into a layered, styled masterpiece that garnered enormous compliments all night, and is now easy as pie to maintain and looks fabulous 24 hours a day. Thank you, Len! Pros: Skill and experience, wonderful service, perfect results. more

Thanks for my beautiful hair Len! 8/6/2008

I was referred to Len by a co-worker friend of mine. I had admired her hair for a long time and finally asked her where and who she gets her hair done by. Her answer Len does my hair. She gave me his card, I checked out his web site (under the same name, Len does my hair) and read the many reviews written about him. I was immediately impressed and decided to make an appointment with Len. He corrected my brassy looking color (I thought it looked okay but he thought it could look even better, and it did once he re-colored it!) I went from brassy to beautiful! He recommended products (I never thought I would pay that much for hair products but they are totally worth it, they keep my hair feeling like hair not straw, and the color holds up as well. Thank you Len for my beautiful hair, I love it and I will send all of my friends and fellow co-workers to see you, just don't get to busy so you can't see me! Ella G Pros: Nice person, Nice location, Talented colorist, Evening appointment available Cons: A little pricey but well worth it! Nothing else. more

Len TOTALLY lives up to his reputation! 7/31/2008

I asked a girlfriend for a recommendation for a stylist, my old one decided to move to L.A. with her boyfriend and I thought Oh My God what am I going to do?! After receiving the card from my friend I was immediately impressed! The card looked nicely designed and I decided to check out Len's website (which was equally as nice!) I made an appointment still skeptical (I thought no-one, no matter how good he claims to be can live up to my old stylist that moved away, Boy was I wrong!) I went into see Len for a highlight and a cut and he lived up to his reputation! I was so pleased! He created a beautiful rich highlight which included 3 colors! (my old stylist and colorist only used 2 colors!) Apparently he owned his own Salon for 9 years, well I don't know what that was like but I immediately felt right at home in his new space. It is simply furnished, and unpretentious and nice. The receptionist greeted me and offered me a beverage (I opted for wine as I was nervous about what he would do) right away I felt I would be in good hands, even before drinking the wine! Len communicates very thouroughly. He works with you(not against you) and recommends products that suit your hair type and condition. So ladies if you want a stylist that listens to you, works with you and makes you look like a million dollars go see Len! Simply said he is the best! Pros: Skill, pleasant surroundings, evening appointments available,parking nearby, wine! Cons: A bit pricey(but worth every penny!) Tips are discouraged on credit card, so bring cash or your checkbook! more

Len brings out your best 7/18/2008

Len has been doing my hair for about two years. I first visited his salon thanks to CitySearch contributors? recommendations. He totally lived up to the reputation. He cut my hair so elegantly. Just right balance of layers, lightbang, etc. makes such a difference. I am particularly amazed with the subtlety he can apply to make my hair colored and highlighted. I have solid black hair, thick and lots of it. Before I got to Len, another fancy salon in SF gave my hair a massive highlight. The ?director-level? stylist told me it will be chocolate brown, but it was almost blond. Yah, like the one a Harajuku kid would have in his spiky hair. I asked for hairdo that is stylish, a little playful, but still professional looking. Len gets it. You don?t even need to tell him. Through a little casual chat, he grasps your life style and personality, and then gives a little hidden spice made of his creativity. It?s always fun to see the different styles he gives to different clients of his. You have to see it yourself. I?m sure you?ll agree with me! Pros: cut, highlight, color, atmosphere, parking more

I love it when people say "Great haircut" 7/17/2008

Len gave me a great look. Short sassy, good color, not complicated. He'll start with offering options and build from there. Pros: easy walk from BART or Muni Cons: Price consistent with Union Square salons more

Superb Customer Service, Amazing Hair Talent & Convenient Location! 7/3/2008

As a regular client of Len's, I feel the need to tell others about the OUTSTANDING and CONSISTENT SERVICE that I ALWAYS receive, which is what keeps me going back! After having a great experience at a chic hair salon in Paris several years ago, I knew I could never return to my 'USUAL' place in the city upon returning home, since I had now experienced the best of Paris. So I set out on the task of finding a 'new' place I could call the best of San Francisco! That's when I found Len Handeland. The first time I met Len at a social gathering he commented on my hair cut and color not knowing that I had just returned from our 'Girls Paris Shopping Trip'! I mentioned that I was so amazed at how the 'proper' hair cut for one's face shape, and the color that matches one's skin tone makes all the difference in the end result! He could tell by my comments that I desired the same ongoing experince here in SF - a magically place and talented stylist who matches science, hair styles and trends to what's best for ones hair texture, facial structure and skin tone! He reveiled his profession and offered to take on the challenge AND did he ever! He's always courteous, ontime, and professional and ALWAYS delivers a great look! I'm such a big fan that if you want professional talent or advice you seek out the real experts! Even after having moved from 'the city' to Napa Valley, I still make the drive religiously to see Len every six weeks..... and you should to! more

Len makes me look 20 years younger! 6/22/2008

For the first time in my life I get my hair cut and colored without anxiety. I know that I will walk out looking like a million bucks EVERY TIME. We've all had stylists who do what we ask the first time or two, but then, as if controlled by some other force, quickly depart to an undesired color or an awful cut. Len consistently colors and cuts my hair beautifully every time. He knows how to adjust for changes in my hair (sometimes I forget to wear a hat and the sun will accelerate fading of color.) He always brings it back to the most natural looking blonde anyone would be thrilled to have. The subtle shades and perfect amount of highlighting are truly a work of art. When I leave I can't help feeling that everyone I pass is going to be jealous of my beautiful hair. Part of the beauty is that my hair is in superb condition. Two years ago, the first time I met with Len, my hair was almost like straw. . . lifeless, dull, fragile. I also had a poor choice of "cuts". I had always been told that because I had "thin" hair, I must have a blunt cut. Len said that my hair is NOT thin, but FINE. He proceeded to cut my hair so that it was flattering for me, and also gave me more fullness and volume. The products he uses and recommends have restored life to my hair. I never even liked my hair before going to Len. Now I LOVE my hair. If you are looking for someone who has talent and skill. If you are looking for someone who listens to you and gives you what you want. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares that you are happy with the results . . . Len is the person for you. And he is also a delightful, personable guy who makes every effort for you to have a wonderful experience. He is absolutely the best colorist and stylist you will ever find. more

Len is fantastic! 6/17/2008

Len is absolutely the best hair stylist I have ever had. He is very talented and really knows what looks good on different face shapes or colour of hair. I am very happy after each appointment with him and he is also quite a friendly person. I have never had more than 4 people complimented my hair but Len would be the one to make that happen. Pros: Len is awesome more

Hair Straightening!! 6/16/2008

I have thick, unruly, wavy hair which I hate - I have a few friends who had Thermal Reconditioning (Japanese Straigtening) and swore by it. I decided to do some research and found Len. I had a consultation with him and he made me confident that it would be great. It took hours but it flew by, Len chatted with me and even provided lunch. It has lasted a really long time and I am still supremely happy with it. I highly recommend Len if you are thinking of having the process done - he is a pleasure to spend time with and is a wiz with hair. more

Len is simply the best! 6/16/2008

I used to see Len at his own salon (Utopia) which he sadly closed last month. I followed Len to his new salon Level 4 and I love his new space! It is has the best lighting, so I can truly see the magic that Len does! I see Len for highlights and for my cut. I have to say Len is amazing at both! Sometimes you have to see one person for one or the other, but with Len you can see him for both! I love the way he combines 3 colors to create a natural sun streaked blonde looking highlight. When it comes time to have my roots redone it is even all that obvious(that's how good he is!) Ladies, run! don't walk to see this amazing artist! He is a perfectionist and will take great care of you! He is also extremely knowledgable about hair care products! Pros: Amazingly talented artist at highlights and haircutting! Nice location, great lighting! Cons: A little further from Union square than his other salon, but worth it! more

Len saved me and my hair! 6/12/2008

I was stuck in boresville with my hair and hair appointments. After trying some supposedly very high-end salons, I was not impressed with the end result or their attitude. Then I found Len at Utopia on Citysearch. The cuts and color he gives me are right on for my face and skin and what I want/my mood (not sure how he does that). Another thing that sets him apart is that he really cares. It's never painful to talk with him - it's actually fun - but he also let's me read my magazine too. Perfect mix of good convo and chilling, and then I walk out a wonderful cut and great color. Let Len get his hands on your hair - you'll be so glad you did. Pros: fantastic haircuts/color, cool stylist, convenient location more

Best cuts and highlights ! 6/10/2008

Len is really an artist ! Perfect highlights with a lot of subtle tones, wonderful cuts : you just feel like a model after a couple of hours with him. He makes me feel beautiful each time I see him and experience his work. I have never found a better hair stylist in Paris or in San Francisco. I first met him in Utopia salon but his new place in Level4salon is very nice and bright, very convenient also, and he still uses the french Rene Furterer products, that are so good. Anyway I would follow him everywhere for his incredible talent. more

Love Len and his new space! 6/9/2008

Where to start about my hair maestro?!?! I always walk out after a appointment with Len with terrific hair! Not only do I look good but Len makes me feel good. Plus, I love his new bright and airy space in a location that is still extremely convenient. Even if you think you've found your "hair home" you need to experience Len and his expertise and warm personality. Pros: skill, personality, space more

LEN IS AWESOME 6/9/2008

Len is such a pro at what he does plus he's always fun to talk with for a couple of hours. Of course, the best part is what he does with my hair - my cut and blonde color always look amazing. I've seen Len for years at Utopia and I love his new spot at Level 4 now! Great location and windows. Go to Len if you want to look and feel great! Pros: great hair cut & color, lovely space, fantastic personality more

Can I Just Say Fa-a-bulous 6/2/2008

Looking for a stylist, look no further. Len has succeeded in making me look simply marvelous for years. He can do it all, style, high-light, low-light and everything in between. Len is also very professional and courtious. He's a five start stylist. I recommend him highly, you will not be disappointed. He's brilliant!! Pros: The Location - Love It Cons: Can't think of any more

Len is the best! 5/25/2008

Len is the hair whisperer! I have been a client of his for several years after being a salon hopper. I used to go to a different salon each time I got my hair done because I was not happy with the result. All of that changed when I met Len. He is extremely talented, and skilled when it comes to hair cuts, color and style. He is also a fabulous, fun guy. I highly recommend Len to anyone who is looking for the ultimate hair experience. more

Great Haircut - 1 block from Union Square easily accessible from Public Transportation. 5/22/2008

Len is awesome! I have the most difficult hair in the world; besides having wavy unruly hair, it is thick and constantly full of knots!! I have gone to see Len a total of three times and each time he has been patient with my hair and manages a way to make my hair look fabulous. I can say this because I avoided getting a haircut for over a year, my prior experiences with other stylist in the Bay Area made me untrusting and skittish. However since I have been going to Len, it has been great. Even my husband, who never coments on anything says, " I love seeing my wife after a new cut or style, it's like getting a new wife everytime!" Pros: Easily accessible via Public Transportation, really close to Union Square shopping. Cons: Parking can be expensive. more
