Read More On Citysearch Lauritinga 2/6/2009 - PRESTON at ACME Head and Body SalonWhen it comes to hair and beauty, PRESTON at Acme is the perfectly balanced professional. He is extremely knowledgeable, but not at all pushy; is a good listener, but will also offer his opinion if asked; he is warm and kind, but also has a silly/sassy side as well; he just seems to be a lovely all around person. PRESTON listened to my concerns/desires/etc.. about my hair (coming off a horrible e...
Read More On Citysearch kraider 11/25/2008 - Best Haircut Ever ...I live in San Jose and just happened to stop by Acme, by chance. It is an amazing and unbelievable treat to have a hair cut with Carol Anderberg at the Acme Salon. It is the first time in a long time that a hair dresser actually did what I wanted, and not what she is used to do. I am very happy with Carol and love the Salon?s atmosphere. I highly recommend it to everyone, no matter how simple...
Read More On Citysearch Laqha 10/2/2008 - Great with color and fine hairI have been regularly going to Acme since it opened a few years ago. The service is fabulous, the surroundings are nice and very clean, the people are engaging and friendly. I have never had a "bad color day" after having my hair done by Dennis at the salon, not to mention he gives the best haircut I have ever had. He knows his stuff, he's fun, engaging, professional and talented, to say the l...

The location is awesome. The vibe is very chill.
Prestin cut my hair and we spent about five minutes beforehand talking about everything.
He did an *amazing* job. One of the best haircuts I've had in my en...

After 1.5 years of growing out the damage (flying back to LA for the repair jobs) it was clear I needed to try another local out.
Today I met Dennis and he gave me the best haircut of my life! I broke away from the mirror to sign up on citysearch just to sing his praises. I have very thi...

The color is great and he doesn't fix the same style repeatedly. He gets really excited about creating a new look. He's also a great cook and will share recipes.
Read More On Citysearch mshapraeford 6/17/2008 - Bravo to Acme!My only hesitation in writing a review of Acme is that I won't be able to get an appointment! This is a wonderful, down to earth salon with talented hair dressers that have great skills. The hair products are luxurious as is the service and without the overtly hipster vibe that some hair salons embrace. Don't get me wrong: Acme is absolutely HIP, but it is not a scene. If you want her hair cut an...

Her cuts are second to none. At least once a week I get compliments on my hair!!! The salon is great but the only reason I go there is because of her. When you make an appointment be sure and do it in advance as she may be booked for a couple of weeks but believe me when I tell you it i...

Read More On Citysearch pattycke 3/27/2008 - Kimberly....What an AMAZING Artist....I'm a customer for life!Kimberly cut and styled my hair for the first time Thursday (3-13-08). I have just moved to SF from the East coast and had no idea where to go to get my hair done. To say I have problem hair is an understatement. I have thick natural curls that are such a problem to control. I went to Kimberly with my friends suggestion (and wonderful praises), as she has been seeing Kim for a year or so now. I w...
Read More On Citysearch TamiSF 3/15/2008 - Kimberly G. is greatI have very thick, wavy, coarse hair. Kimberly is the first stylist who actually gets it. I love that I can schedule an appointment for a full cut or just to have my hair thinned. Yesterday, Kimberly colored my hair, which has been going gray for about five years. Kimberly's color work is fabulous--she worked with the gray to have it act as highlights. I've gotten nothing but compliments on...
Read More On Citysearch marlowec 2/28/2008 - Holly Howard is the best in the west!When I moved to San Francisco from the east coast, I did so with excitement, but also a pang of regret that I had to leave my hair stylist of many years. She and I had bonded as I sat in her chair over so many things, and she consistently gave me the best looking hair I had ever known. So needless to say I was a bit apprehensive about finding a good stylist here. So I went online to find out what...

In all honesty Kimberly G. is the best hairstylist that has ever touched my hair and let me tell you I have been to a lot of hairstylist, so that says A LOT! I hated my hair, simply because it had that brassy look with tons of different colors weaved in it. It looked extremely fake, sort of trashy and not to mention extremely damaged! I basically told her I wanted to try and ...

Read More On Citysearch jancarv 10/31/2007 - dennis is a master chef of colorDennis used to be a chef, and he brings the same grace and assurance to hair color. I went in with a color emergency and he fixed it without breaking stride! And without damaging my hair. My color is natural and classy. His relaxed personality influences the whole salon. Not stuffy or stuck-up, it is friendly and approachable. It's also in a convenient location--a few doors from Loehmann's!

Read More On Citysearch mreginap 10/2/2007 - Holly is the most AMAZING hair stylist that has ever cut my hair...Holly was a referral from a friend of mine so I was a bit nervous as my former stylist moved to another state. You have got to understand that my former hair stylist was Redken Stylist of the year so I was a bit particular when it came to my hair.
Holly definitely made me feel comfortable and gave me the sense that I was in good hands. Even though I was extremely picky and a bit demanding, s...

I've seen quite a few stylist these past years (from rocker hipsters to highly trained snazzy fashionista types) and no one has ever delivered such great results in such little time.

Finally, in San Francisco, Holly saved my hair and my future. When she was done cutting and coloring my hair, I actually said, "I want to make-out with my bangs." They were that hot. Holly and I talked extensively before she got to work; sh...

Not only is the salon itself a gem, but my stylist is as well. I enjoy going to a salon, sitting down, and just telling my stylist to do whatever they want.

And I hate going to the hairstylist because hairstylists always pull out the hair tie and their eyes get wide at my crazy, scrawny, little strands.

He listens intently and asks a million questions - my favorite star's hair, problems I have with my own hair, issues I have with styling it (whic...

I went to Acme based on these raving reviews and had highlights and a hair cut. The highlights were good -- and the cut OK. The stylists are a bit older here -- and must be experienced based on their age. The whole salon environment is a bit crazy though -- very frentic. It actually made me a bit nervous. Not sure I'll return.

Read More On Citysearch deckergirl 4/18/2007 - Kimberly is an amazing hair stylistI used to live just outside New York City. My hair stylist there was very good - he was so good that he had colored Uma Thurman's hair prior to a photo shoot for a magazine cover! So, when I moved to San Francisco - I thought I was going to struggle to find a great stylist. I got so very lucky to have found Kimberly. Kimberly used to work at another salon in SOMA, but has recently moved to Ac...

Read More On Citysearch luckandpluck 3/26/2007 - Great salon with a cool vibeAcme is kind of a blast from the past. The stations are antique vanities that have been refinished to great condition and the building has some character all its own, with huge windows that overlook busy San Fran streets. The staff is super friendly and offers to take care of you from the moment you step out of the elevator. Ask for Holly. She does great hair for a very reasonable price.

I originally contacted Ariane because I had micro ring extensions done at another salon that I wasn't happy with. She met me for a free consultation and explained what she could do differently to give me a better overall look and prevent the dreadlocking problems I was having. She took out my old extensions, and got rid of all the accumulated glue and dreadlocks while she was at it- in under ...
