Star East Hair Salon in San Francisco, CA

Cannot recommend Days enough! She was incredibly attentive and skilled with my digital perm and haircut. I really appreciated that she took the time to listen to my requests, check on me regularly to make sure I was comfortable with the changes, and offered her own suggestions as well. Left super happy with my new perm as it was just what I had envisioned! I was in California for a short visit, but would definitely come back again for a cut.

Yesterday I went Star East salon the first time and Days my stylist gave me cut and color beyond my expectations. I had longhair for the last twenty years and wanted a change and she gave me a fantastic short cut looks. Everyone loves my look's too.

Fourteen. That's the number of years that I have been coming to see Joe. He's still the best at what he does. Shamelessly, I only get my hair done once a year. I get a cut and digital perm from Joe and have been doing so for the last 14 years. My conversation with Joe today, he said that other clients do the same thing and praise him for his digital perm skills. However, they miss one point. He's really good at cutting hair, which is why the perm still looks good a year later! Honestly, he does an amazing job. Joe gets booked super quickly and he did mention he wasn't taking any new clients since he's booked on weekends until next year. But, I'd still call anyway to try and get an appointment.

Had a great experience with my digital perm yesterday - my previous perm here was in 2019 before the pandemic, and Vivian had done a fantastic job. I called to make an appointment since I was going to be back in town, and was pleasantly surprised that they still had my record of my perm details! Vivian is no longer with Star East, but Days took great care of me. She asked for photos of my hair before booking to make sure that my hair would be healthy enough for the perm, asked for a photo of what I was envisioning, and took a detailed history of my last color and perm. I got a text from Days a couple of days prior to the appointment with instructions and reminders. On my arrival, she was so warm and welcoming, and took time to explain her thought process and plan for my haircut prior to the perm, checking with me throughout to make sure I was ok with taking off some length. One thing I loved that many other stylists don't do, was that she asked what I liked and didn't like about previous perms. The perm itself came out excellent, and Days gave me a ton of great tips for styling and caring for my perm. The time passed by quickly. You'll definitely be well cared for here!

I got a digital perm here a few years ago. I was concerned that it would not take on my fine hair, but after sending pictures to the main stylist and receiving assurances from him, I decided to go for it. The process was quick and the service was friendly, but the perm didn't hold more than two days. It was a few hundred dollars wasted for me. I would not go here for a perm if you have fine hair. Other perms I've gotten have been able to deal with my hair type by doing a full denaturing step before the digital perm, but this salon does not do that.
