I highly recommend Peter Dinsmore at Panache. I have never ""had"" a hairdresser in my life - have always received haircuts from whoever was available at whichever salon happened to have a convenient appointment. I received many good and some mediocre cuts, but no one has ever been memorable enough for me to...well...remember him. This has changed. I will return to Peter. \r

Peter was friendly, professional (has worked at Vidal Sasson in SF, and Jungle Red Salon in the Castro), knowledgeable, willing to be conservative with his cutting of length, but able to give me an amazing haircut once I told him to do what he thought best. \r

I especially appreciated his card file with information he recorded about my hair type, the products I use, and the work he did -- an attention to detail I have never experienced in my sampling of salon professionals. Full service, well worth the price. I had to hug him before I left. You will want to too.
