Shift Hair

I can't say enough good things about Shift. Having Mark as my stylist made it a total experience. He is such and interesting person with a wonderful sense of humor and he helped me to not go too dark or too short on my hair and it came out just perfect. I even drank a glass of wine! I honestly will never go anywhere else on the central coast to get my hair done. I highly recommend Shift Hair!

My hairdresser Tara is exceptional. Very talented and I've never been disappointed. She has a great personality, very friendly and positive.

Angie never disappoints! She is a true master with color and cutting hair. Thank you!

A bit late posting this but here goes! Loved my first haircut with Tara at this salon a few months back. She took time to find out exactly what I wanted and gave me a cut and style that I love and easy for me to work with. I'll definitely be back.

Annette is a wonderful stylist, her haircuts grow out beautifully and her color/highlight work is excellent. In addition she is a wonderful person who makes the time spent, in her presence, getting a haircut truly a pleasure.

Love the positive atmosphere! Love my hair stylist Angie, she really is the best

I've been going to Shift since it opened as I followed Roberto over from another salon. Cool and comfortable ambience with talented hairstylists & great products to purchase.

I came here to have my long locks cut short, like really short. Angie delivered with a super cute original cut. The shampoo chairs gently massage and Angie's shampoo is heavenly. Clean and customer centered. I love coming to Shift.

Best massage therapist around! Margaret is great for a relaxing, preventative massage, but really shines with injury care.

Shift Hair is a great salon with the utmost wonderful and pleasurable services available to women and men. Cuts, colors, conditioning, Brazilian Blowout, hair treatments, and Massage Therapy. All available to you. Blissful and most luxurious way to begin your hair beautification is by: First, being indulged with some Massage Therapy; Second, get your hair beautification on!

When it's all said and done you're going to feel like a million bucks! You're gonna walk out of Shift sashaying your way about town. Feeling confident? Beautiful? ABSOLUTELY! Because YOU ARE! Mark Asmus is my guy. Has been for last 7 years, and still going strong :D Other hair stylists do a wonderful job as well. Give a call (805) 546-9900, or stop by 1050 Broad Street, for a visit. You'll end up making appointment and be so happy you did!

Great experience! Professional and thank you I've never had to go back the next day because I found something wrong and then have to pay for it. I love great service

Talented, seasoned stylists in a clean, shop that isn't blasting music. I've been seeing Vicki for 8 years and love how honest and easy to talk to she is and she understands coloring and how to find the best colors for me.

I was visiting San Luis Obispo to avoid the unhealthy air lingering in the Bay Area due to the fires in Butte County. I missed my hair appointment at my home salon and desperately needed to see a colorist. I've seen the same colorist for 15 years so going rogue is always scary. I checked out the L'Oreal website where you can search for recommended salons by area code and Shift Hair was one of L'Oreal's approved salons.

I called the next morning and glory be there was 1 appointment left that day (someone had just cancelled). My appointment was with Mark, who turned out to be the co-owner of the salon. He is a gifted hair professional and he did an awesome job on my hair! In addition, I told him I was gluten free, and while my hair was processing, he bought me a gluten-free macaroon from a French bakery around the corner from the salon.

He also trimmed my bangs! I can't say enough great things about the vibe of Shift Hair Salon, the pros who work there and the excellent job Mark did on my hair. Shift Hair rocks!

Vicki is the best! I've been to a lot of salons in slo and I'm glad i finally tried her. She knows color very well!

It is truly a treat every time I get to go have my hair done at Shift. I'm always greeted with a smile and offered wine Tara has been doing my hair since 1993 and I absolutely adore her. She always takes her time and I walk out feeling like a million bucks. I can't wait for my next appointment.

The salon is modern and comfortable. The stylists are all so nice and I have seen Angie several times. She styles my, my two daughters', and my wife's hair. Make sure to plan ahead for your reservation because they are frequently booked at least several weeks out.

I'm extremely happy with Shift Hair Salon. Finding a salon and stylist has been nearly impossible until last year. My first appointment, the stylist mentioned tight body wave is not their specialty, apologized for the miscommunication and recommended Lauren. I appreciated the honesty. I love Lauren because she follows my direction and does not try to sway me away from the style and cut I prefer.

The chairs at the washing station are massage chairs and the hair dryer station is a giant ring that gently drys hair; modern updated salon equipment is a luxury I have grown accustomed to.

Vicki is the best! Hands down. I have been going to her for almost 13 years now (have followed her to three different salons-that's how great she is). I won't let anyone else cut my hair. I moved to the Bay Area seven years ago and I always get my hair cut when I drive down to the coast. If you want an amazing experience and hairdo- come see Vicki at Shift. You won't be disappointed.

I got exactly what I wanted! Allie is amazing! It was super affordable and they are very high tech. When she washed my hair I sat in a chair that gave me a back massage! AMAZING experience

It's hard to find a hair stylist who consistently delivers the same haircut. Mark had been cutting my hair school age son's hair for over two years and he nails it every time. Sometimes my son will ask him to go shorter or longer and Mark willingly obliges. But most importantly Mark remembers what works for my son and delivers time after time after time. Thank you Mark for making high school just that much easier!

Sweet Julie gave me the most gorgeous ombre and haircut. Love Love Love!

Love this place. Staff is super professional and they have great hair products. My stylist 'Tara, is always on time, never over books and does a great job.

I got a brazillian blowout by Allie! I love it! The salon is nice, clean, sells the best products, most comfortable wash and cut chairs! Ask for Allie!

I've been going to Annette for a year-and-a-half now and I just love her! She does a beautiful job. In addition, the staff at Shift is always very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended. :

Love love love this salon! Found it by looking for kerastase products in San Luis Obispo, then read the reviews. Modern clean and professional they are always upbeat and positive. I chose Annette to restore my multi color hair, and the results are amazing. Lots of tiny streaks that create a beautiful soft blonde that is flattering and natural looking.

She has matched color almost exactly from pictures, and can also create a hair strategy for keeping the look alive. She is a real artist! The results that other patrons get are also beautiful. The location on Broad Street near the San Luis Art Museum, is also fun for people watching!

I came here for a color correction and cut with Annette. She is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. My hair, however, sucks at life. It was a failed 5 1/2 hour attempt at lightening my hair from almost 4 years of dyed blackness. The colour I ended up with is actually very pretty and I'm absolutely satisfied. I ended up with a gorgeous brown and amberish highligts, a welcome difference!

I have curly hair that I NEVER let anyone touch or cut, aside form myself, but Annette gave me very nice long layers to complement my curls. She's very professional and sincerely cares about what you're looking to get. The entire staff is incredibly friendly as well. I love the atmosphere of the salon. As soon as I walked in, I felt comfortable, not like I was in some uppity frou-frou place where I would be scoffed at. And yes, the massaging chairs at the wash station are to die for!
