Zindagi Salon

Go see Jeremy! He's wonderful! I've been with him since 2008

Teresa is so wonderful! This was my first time getting my hair done at Zindagi (and in the Bay Area, for that matter!) And I am so glad I came across this studio. Teresa was nothing but kind, considerate, and was able to perfectly capture what I was hoping for.she may even have exceeded my expectations. She did an amazing and very natural-looking balayage that livened up my hair. Highly recommend it, and will be looking forward to returning in the future!

Eric Webb is a Hair Maestro! You can think of him as a living breathing Hair Jedi Master (for those of you under 30). The stylist who'd been doing my hair since I moved into San Francisco relocated to San Antonio and I was stuck without a recommendation for someone who knew how to work with Black hair. Months later I was explaining the situation to my good friends Dax & Lindsey and they recommended Eric Webb.

Unfortunately due to the pandemic, SF hair salons were closed all over. Speed ahead almost 9-10 months and my numerous texts and voicemails to Zindagi salon paid off and I got a return call from Eric. We set up an appointment and from the moment I set foot in the salon I knew I was in good hands. For starters the salon is immaculate. More importantly Eric, and his assistant (Bree?) were the nicest most personable professionals on the face of the planet.

I had a horrible experience at another salon listed in Yelp (Hairesy? HairRapiste?) and was a bit gun-shy but all of that faded away quickly. I was impressed, overjoyed and supremely thankful with the results and would highly recommend Eric Webb to anyone in need of an extrordinarily talented stylist.

Jordan cuts and colors my hair, and does a phenomenal job! I have curly hair, which can be tricky to cut correctly (I am VERY careful about who I trust my curly coif to, because some people don't understand how much hair curls up once it's dry!), and Jordan handles it expertly! She also understands the kind of color and highlights that I want, and I feel beautiful every time I leave the salon. She's friendly, fun to talk with, and always makes me feel at ease!

In fact, everyone who works at Zindagi is friendly, chatty, and many stop in and say hi when I'm there. It's easy to make appointments both over the phone or online, and they are good about texting appointment reminders, which I find very useful. They sell a lot of great products which do wonderful things for my curls, keeping them from frizzing out.

During Covid, everyone is wearing a mask, and I was advised that the entire staff had been vaccinated, which is important to me, and most likely most other potential clients! Zindagi is 100% WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE, including the very large bathroom. The building has an elevator, the salon is spacious and not cluttered, and the staff is very accommodating. I definitely recommend this spa and Jordan in particular to anyone looking to get a great cut and color!

Wow. Had such a wonderful experience today getting my hair cut and styled after a year of home haircuts. Richie did such a wonderful job and offered me so many styling tricks to tame my thick hair. They graciously took me as basically a walk in and were so welcoming. Atmosphere is relaxed and fun. HIGHLY recommend!

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality I'm a long time Zindagi Salon customer with Jordan as my stylist. It's always a delight to visit the salon and I always love my cut/color. Salon is very professional and run well.

Bre did an awesome job and was very pleasant to work with. Services: Hairstyling, Haircut

This was by far my best salon experience with Richie giving me the best highlights and truly fixing my mess of hair. Highly recommend!

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality This salon is always amazing. They provide great service, great conversation and best of all, great results! Worth every penny! I have been a customer for almost 20 years and cannot imagine going anywhere else! Service: Hairstyling

Up-beat fun salon, with high-end services. Highly recommend if you want a keratin treatment, highlight, or just a hair cut and blow out, the owner Eric is great!

I'm obsessed with highlights and color. I go blonde for summer and darker in the winter, which can be pretty hard on my hair. I love Jeremy. He helps me transform my hair to "natural looking Asian blonde", to 'multi-dimensional brunette" all without breaking my hair. When you've been doing color for years, you have to go to someone who understands how much your hair can take and keep it looking healthy.

He also takes a look at my bone structure and skin tone for the season and adjusts my color. He's the only stylist I trust that won't break my hair especially when I get platinum blonde highlights. Love that the salon also carries a lot of products from Oribe that I've never even seen. The packaging is so beautiful, I always pick up a new product to try when I go in. Located near Union Square by the Museum of Ice Cream, such a great location, because it gives me an excuse to grab lunch and go shopping afterward. Thanks, Jeremy! I love my cut and color!

Richie is always great, I love the end product of my hair so much! Also, the front desk receptionist, Isabel, is very helpful and a joy to be around. Overall, I had a wonderful experience.

Erik & his team are the very best. I love my time at the salon. they are friendly, highly professional and welcoming. All of the operators are good. I recommend Zindagi with 5 stars and I don't usually rave. Zindagi deserves raves.

Jeremy Boatman is the best! He always gets me a perfect platinum blonde in one process, others have had to do two bleaches. And the cut grows out really well, stays looking good between!

Nice but not the best. The interior and the staffs are impressive. The lady at the reception is warm and welcoming. The service is prompt. They would not make you wait for long. They will always offer you some tea/ coffee/ wine. I had my appointment with Richie. He is always super busy. Knows his job well. I loved the hair color, however I think the hair cut was not the best one.

But it was towards the end of the day. So probably I might would spare. I spent total 195$ (including 15% tip) on both the color and the haircut. Which is not too expensive if you compare the location as downtown SFO. So I would recommend you to stop by and get pampered.

I LOVE this salon, it is absolutely the most comfortable environment I've ever had. The people are so kind, the vibe of the whole place is peaceful. They welcome you back like you never left. And not to mention the hairstylists! They're amazing! I've had my hair dyed and trimmed there for the past 3 months and I don't think I'll ever go to another salon for as long as I live in the area!

I had my hair done at Zindagi salon. I came in with my kinky, curly, and incredibly dry 4a/b hair. The crew at the salon looked like "oh my gosh" lol but they handled it like champs. Promptly greeted at the door and served tea when I sat down. They were very attentive. I had Kelly give me a Brazilian blowout and it's just now wearing off.5 months later.

She dyed my hair and gave me a trim after. It wasn't cheap by far but the results are awesome. It's great to be able to do a blow dry and flat iron in about 30-40 mins compared to the 90 mins it used to take me. Thanks Kelly!

Had an appointment set up a week or two in advanced. Received a message saying they can accommodate an appointment sooner. After a few messages back and forth, I was told that they would need to talk to the manager to get confirmation of when would work. After several follow ups from me and over a week now of complete radio silence from their end, I have given up. Do not waste your time with this place.

I received the worst haircut i have had in many years. It was at a discounted rate as a hair model, but still feel i should leave this review. I had agreed to a long layer cut, but the stylist decided to do a different cut, leaving me with bangs hanging in my face, just below my nose, not layered to go back and too short to go behind my ears even though i had told her i needed to be able to pull it back. So i have a long bowl cut in front that does not look right with the back. I feel used so she could practice a technique and will be needing to use bobby pins so I can see.

Jada was able to highlight my hair to a blonde I've never been able to achieve. I have thick curly hair with layers of old color. My hair curl and integrity were not effected and I'm so THRILLED! She is a Balayage queen but a master at brunettes trying to be blonde! Bradley gave me a haircut thats been lasting for MONTHS. My hair is so thick and gets mushroomy easily, I asked him to keep my length but remove weight and he did it with perfection. He's also super fun to chat with!

Jordan! Such a great gal and a fun person to spend a couple of hours with coloring and cutting my hair. I don't have much patience and I look forward to seeing her every time. Even when I think my hair doesn't look great due to many factors I'm responsible for- someone compliments me on the cut or asks where I get it done. Nice!

I went to the salon in end the march. I decided to get full highlights with jada. She was completely rude and unwelcoming when I sat down. She asked me what I wanted I said I want my hair to look natural from the top with out the heavy highlights on the roots. She quickly responds and says, blonde highlights would never look natural because you have brown hair.

She points to her hair and says this color is natural. She said it in a way to make me feel dumb. I was like ok?. and then I told her I just don't want harsh lines. She later starts on my hair. Doesn't talk to me at all. Then asks me if I want water like 1 hour after starting my hair. i loved my end result because I thought she did a good job.

Fast forwarding in time, I went back to LA where I live and got my hair done again, my hair stylist asked me where did I last get my hair done and I told her in sf. She told me whoever did your hair last did half the right side only in the back of your hair and never finished the left side. It seemed like they did their job fast and no precise. I am shocked on how jada was not only rude but did a shitty job on doing my hair.

I wish I never tipped her 25% for a piece of shit job. Three starts because the other staffs were welcoming and nice. If everyone acted like jada, 1 star is what it deserves.

Erik, the owner is the absolute best. He's very personable and makes you feel very special. He's hard to book, so plan ahead. Great work and service!

I've been seeing Jada for my balayage for a while and she is a master! I always come away with hair that looks impeccably colored, dimensional yet natural and work appropriate. She's a great conversationalist too which makes the time in the hair fly by. I've since moved but fly back from NY just to see her.

I had my appointment with Bradley Crane and. Its the best haircut I got in my life. Seriously. Every single time he cuts and style my hair Im happy with the results! Im getting so many compliments and people keep asking me where Im getting my hair done. He is knowledgeable professional and in my opinion the best at what he is doing : Very VERY highly recommended.

It was my first time going here. The salon was clean and the receptionist was sweet. Dimitrios gave me a fresh new cut that I absolutely love! He was very kind and professional and offered me beverages throughout the experience. He even recommended products that I've never used before to help create and maintain the look I'm going for. I had a great experience and recommend Dimitrios and the salon to everyone!

I'm really picky with my platnum hair, never disappointed. Jada is AMAZING always listens and understands exactly what i want. Thank you for the great job. : See you soon

Got a full highlight from Richie and I can't be more pleased. The color worked so well on me and I have been getting a lot of compliments about it. Will definitely come back next time I need highlights.

Julian moved upstairs to Patrick Evan so I'll be seeing you up there soon! Xoxo! I have searched high and low to find a stylist that did what I needed to do consistently and I'm not easy to please! So when Julian moved salons I didn't think twice about following him thankfully it's in the same building! Can't wait to see the new spot! Ps I would follow you anywhere! Hair master level -- Julian for ANYTHING YOU NEED :

It's hard for a girl to find the right one, but every once in a while a girl meets the perfect hair stylist to cut her split ends away; chop it off; cut bangs; dye it purple on a whim; and make her laugh. For me, that stylist is Scott Brinkerhoff. I'm devoted, so I relocated to Zindagi to follow Scott. He's been my dream (hair) guy for years and I wasn't going to let a salon change keep me from his talents.

He listens to what I want and then delivers. I have course hair that isn't always easy to work with, but my hair is always cuter and healthier than it was before my time with him. He's as talented as he is cute (which is to say very). Though I hate to share, I highly recommend him.

I waited about a month to write this review to be able to evaluate how well the color held up. I found Zindagi through an awesome Groupon deal (keep an eye out for that). I believe it was something like $75 for $120 value. I called and was able to book an appointment for the following Friday. The salon is on the second floor and is a cute, open, clean space! F I went in for a balayage with Jada and she was fantastic. I've never had my hair professionally colored and she was so patient with me.

She explained the process and helped me to decide on the right color after scrolling through some pictures. After we got started, she would explain everything that she was doing so I understood what was going on, which helps because sometimes I'm reluctant to ask. And can I just say that she gives the ABSOLUTE best head massage? I know that's not what I was there for but I did not want her to stop washing my hair!

She was a joy to talk to, which was a plus since the process was about 2-3 hours. After the color and wash was done, she went on to style and blow out my hair! I was completely satisfied with the results and after a month, the color is holding up pretty well. Probably because she gave me lots of helpful hair care tips. I would definitely recommend Zindagi and Jada for balayage!

Sarah = awesome! I'm not a big talker and she picked up on that and didn't force me to engage in "salon small talk" that I hate. I used a groupon for highlights, shampoo and style. I think I got the best color job I've ever had. She really paid attn to detail, used a masque as conditioner, applied a gloss to make the color shine and then blow dried my unruly curly hair straight and flat ironed. It was more than I expected. Thank you Sarah. I'll be back.
