EMANstyle

He is seriously the best. So nice and so talented! I just booked my second appointment with him for a touch up and I can’t wait!

So glad that I found Emmanuel. Great guy, great cuts. I’m looking forward to my hair growing out so that he can cut it again.

Eman is so nice and a talented stylist. I went in wanting a good portion of my hair cut off and he made it beautiful! He’s funny, kind and does a great job. I’ll be a regular from now on!

Emmanuel cut my hair a few days ago and I love it! My hair was very long and I desperately needed a trim. Emmanuel suggested how much I needed taken off. I was nervous at first but I knew I needed it. I love the cut! It’s definitely one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had. He’s a great person and I loved talking to him the whole time! Will definitely be going back.

Eman is awesome! I had my first haircut with him, trimming up a pixie, but adding a little bit of asymmetry. He was fun to talk to, fast, and the haircut was exactly what I wanted. Highly recommended.

Great place, great cut, great price. I’ll be back for sure!

This man just gets hair. He’s the no-​frills kind of hair stylist, and he looks beyond the trends to keep you looking sharp for your every day. I would recommend him again in a heartbeat!

There’s a reason people go apeshit over Eman. He’s knowledgeable, skilled, and fun to hang out with. Three years ago, I asked him to make me look like Bernard Sumner, and despite my curly hair he delivered like hot pizza. I’ve been going to him ever since.

I always feel great after getting a haircut from Eman!!! Unlike most stylists, he does not impose such a heavy influence when I ask for his help. I appreciate the fact that he gives me enough information to go off of and lets me make the final decision. My hair is dreadfully boring and dull; so when I asked him for his advice/​suggestion he recommended that we stick with layers if i didn’t want to go the short haircut route. I feel really comfortable when the stylist isn’t trying to sell me a million products or influence me on coloring my hair a million colors that would look ridiculous on me.
During my visit with him today, I slightly mentioned that I wanted to get my hair colored and asked him what he thought. To my surprise he knew exactly what I DIDN’T want and recommended that I start off with something subtle. I laaaaaaaav it!!! YAAAAAAS HUNTY!!! We discussed how an ombré hairstyle is fairly easy to maintain and that I wouldn’t have to see him as often for keep up. I was shooting for a very different yet stylish color and I’m glad he brought up some really good points. I absolutely love my hair each time I walk out of his salon. I may have to look into further details as far as coloring the next time I think about seeing him!!!

My husband and I have been customers since 2003. After an appointment with Eman, I look great and I feel great. He listens to my somewhat vague ideas about what I want and consistently delivers exactly what I’d imagined. He’s friendly, attentive and one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. We stick with Eman because he’s the best.

I’ve been getting my haircut from Eman for the past 18 months or so. He always does a consistent and quality cut (even when I randomly decide to change up the style). It’s always good to catch up with him since conversation seemed to be fluid from the start. Thanks again for the great service!

I went to him a year ago, didn’t have time to do reviews during that time but now I have lots of time to write reviews. He was great! it’s hard to find a place that can style and cut asian hair. This guy is great because I told him what I wanted in a cut and he delivered. Other places I usually went to don’t quite get what I mean and messes up every time. But Eman, he gets what I’m saying! and my description of what I want isn’t that complicated. I will go back to him.

What a great find! Emanuel is talented and extremely nice. He decided to leverage the waviness of my hair instead of trying to hide it like most hairdressers do.
Highly recommended!

Friendly and a good haircut

Very good cut. Nice guy.

Eman is Thee Man. Always friendly, courteous, and tasteful– I trust him with the most important part of my face. My hair is akin to a brillo-​pad when long, and I use this terrible wax product to style it. Eman has to wash it multiple times with a residue-​reducing shampoo before cutting, and I bet I still gunk up his scissors. Our conversations are relatively candid, and since I’ve been a loyal customer for over a year, the topics have become personal. He’s consistent and reliable with great taste. His style, imho, is edgy but not flashy. You can stay classy and still look like a badass. Definitely a pro, I recommend him to any of my friends– but not my Mom (which is good, because if my hair looked like hers I’d join a Quiet Riot cover band). Eman is also a good person, and remembers what’s actually going on in my life personally. While I am sure that’s difficult to do with every client, I feel like I’m not just another number when I’m sitting in that chair. His Pandora One can be tuned to any station, yet I hardly ever ask to change it. Last time was Jazz Essentials, but it was raining so it fit the mood. On a sunny day you’ll probably hear Calvin Harris.
Eman is truly a 5-​star stylist in a 5-​star city. Remember to bring cash, those squared-​up thangs can cost alot, or at least leave a 5-​star tip if you gotta swipe on my homeboy.

Fantastic colorist and stylist! My only regret? I only discovered him a few weeks before I moved across the country!
I would highly recommend Eman.

I was looking for a new hairstylist that was convenient to my job and well let’s face it GOOD! I had found Eman through the Unilocal Deals. When trying a new hairstylist a good deal couldn’t help either right? I had called Eman to schedule a appointment and he was so friendly over the phone I felt at ease.
Now don’t hate me people but the grandparents weren’t available to watch my five year old son. Instead of creating a major faux pas and assuming that just bringing him along would be ok I did what any responsible parent would do and asked Eman if that would be ok? He was beyond sweet and said that would be fine.
So I booked a appointment for later in the afternoon so that my son would only have to endure as little as possible to which my husband could pick him up. Now on to the haircut Eman was wonderful! I have really thick hair and since summer was coming up I wanted to cut my hair to just below my shoulders. I bought a picture to Eman so he can get an idea as to the style and length that I wanted. Eman listened to my concerns and got it right and nailed it! My hair felt wonderful much lighter and he cut all the damaged ends away. I was very pleased with the results! I have a hairstylist. Even after washing it I was able to recreate it easily. That is a mark of a great haircut. I am planning to back again for my next trim.
Thank you Eman for a terrific haircut. He also has great patience and a wonderful personality as well. So easy and fun to talk to as well. We chatted about everything under the sun. From my job, my marriage, parenting, and families. Eman was also great with my son. I really appreciate someone who does a good service and does it right the first time. Thanks to you again Eman

I’ve been looking for a hairstylist I like and is easy to get to ever since I moved back to the bay area 4 years ago. I’m so glad that I found Eman.
I’ve decided to donate my hair to the American Cancer Society, which really meant going to a very short cut. I’ve had long hair almost all my life and have found comfort in familiarity. I emailed Eman beforehand and he was very accommodating. Getting there a little early gave me time to show him pictures of short hairstyles that I like. He didn’t give me time to back out of what I committed to do and cut my hair short.
It helped that Eman was very reassuring about my to-​be new hairstyle while he was cutting away. He promised that I wouldn’t look like a soccer-​mom, which is always great for a 24 year old. Sure enough, by the time he was done, I fell in love with my new hairstyle. It didn’t take me long to get used to it, or for friends around me to get used to it, because he did such a great job.
I think I’ve found my regular stylist.
