Suite Five Salon

LOVE this place! Bradley was generous enough to donate his services for Struggling Single Moms! My first haircut in forever and I was unsure of what I wanted to do with my hair. He talked me through my options & we easily agreed on a style. We had a great conversation and he really loves his job!
What can I say? Bradley is a real cool guy & my hair turned out AMAZING!

I recently moved to Cali and made an appt for a highlight at Suite 5 based on a friends recommendation. I was scheduled with a colorist that called in sick the day of my appt and for whatever reason I didn’t get the message. I showed up for my appt and after letting me know the situation Michele offered to do my color if I could wait for her to finish up. I have now gone to her a couple times and wish I found her earlier. I couldn’t be more happy with the color Michele does for me and the blowout afterwards is the best I’ve ever had! 5+ stars;)

Ada is a dream. Love her. Fun to chat with while she is doing your hair and does an AWESOME job at it!
Just got a treatment done recently for a Brazilian blowout and months later it still looks great and my hair is easy to manage.
I highly recommend Ada, always does a great job with hair.

I’m french, from Paris. I have to say the cut is quite good but the color is very very bad, the worst I’ve ever had. I went twice, because the first time the color was sooooo bad. The second time it was worst. I had exactly what I dislike the most (and I said that I dislike it): kind of long blond locks (tooo blond, I wanted venitian, and I said it) and was all brown on the top of the head. Each time, it took around 3 hours to do that ! And it’s as expensive as the best hair color in Paris, in Saint-​Germain-​des-​Pres! Anyway, the lady is really not a professional.

I am quite new to the salon and Melissa-​but I can say I have never had a stylist take so much time with just doing my roots/​base. Very specific and detailed-I’m fairly certain she gave each hair one-​on-​one attention! Great results and a good price = winner.

My hairstylist of 6+ years recently moved out of state… wah wah. I’ve had HORRIBLE experiences in the past with hair stylists and crazy hairstyles/​colors that are nothing like the pics I bring in. Therefore I’m extremely picky about where I go and who I’ll let touch my hair. After scouring Unilocal for days, I came upon Suite Five and loved that Emily was presented as an expert with blondes. I came in as a golden blonde wanting to go to a super light almost platinum blonde. Emily did an amazing job! She is extremely thorough and super friendly, obviously very experienced and knows how to color/​highlight like a pro.
I had my haircut with Brad, he did a beautiful job! I have long hair and like to keep it that way, so I appreciate when I ask a stylist not to go cray and cut off 6 inches when I ask for a trim. He created long layers and long bangs, exactly what I asked for. I also found him to be friendly and easy to talk to, not at all like some of the other Unilocalers made him out to be.
The salon itself is also super cute and has an awesome view of the city while you’re getting your hair done. I’ll definitely be back.

So I have been to many upscale salons in the downtown area of SF for the past few years but not until I found Suite 5 Salon was I truly impressed. Bradley cut my hair a few months ago and I really like what he did. He listened and only cut what I wanted to be cut off and he did really nice layers that grew out well. Recently, I went to see him again to get my haircut but this time I went for a whole new look: blunt bangs! I have had them before but Bradley did an exceptional job and focused on getting the front perfectly straight. He was very attentive, patient and listened. Since then (which has been only 2 days) I have gotten a multitude of compliments and feel very chic with my new hair!

I happen to move quite a bit and after my most recent relocation from DC, I began The Search for a salon in San Francisco.
Taking Unilocal’s advice I booked a color and cut with Emily and Bradley at Suite Five. We’ll start with my dear Emily…
Emily Simone — Emily is fantastic at what she does. She managed to transform my way (and I mean waaaaaay) overgrown highlights to a color I loved, and has since taken every idea and picture I’ve brought in and executed to perfection. She’s truly talented with color and works hard to make sure you’re oo-​ing and ahh-​ing in the mirror before you leave.
As an added bonus, she’s honest and an absolute pleasure to talk to while you’re hanging out.
Bradley. Got a lot of hair? Is it super curly? Terrified of letting another stylist butcher your waves? Look no more, Bradley is THE master with curly hair. He listens carefully to the way you style it and then works with it, not against it, to create the what you’re looking for. I love my curly hair and I’m so glad I finally found a stylist who knows what to do with it!
Thank you Emily and Bradley, you guys rock!

Well, I am very disappointed with their customer service, I didn’t even try their service guess why? I was trying to find upscale saloon to make my hair and get a good treatment. Well I found five stars saloon Suit Five. I have a lot business travels so I don’t have much availability for beauty time, so I sent email with request for appointment for color, highlight and keratin treatment wich is around $ 500-​$ 600 appt. never got respond I called… No answer! Left message… No call back! One more email… Silence… 2 days after no answer!!! Just called again –answering machIne! Well guys do you think I would want to spent $ 500 on that kind of service. Seems like San Francisco still doesn’t have real 5 stars saloon as New York or Los Angeles has.

The quality of the service here is exceptional!
The best haircut of my life!
If you’ve had bad haircut experiences before, please try this place out, you won’t be disappointed!

If you want a perfect color go to Melissa, colorist extraordinaire. I have long curly thick hair which she seems to be able to help me bring out so many natural highlights just by a tint. Melissa is a true professional & reasonably priced for such outstanding work. l I’ve been seeing Melissa for so many years now I’d probably follow her anywhere! You won’t be disappointed, give her a try she’s worth every Penney and such a nice person. Suite Five Salon is a beautiful old narrow building with floor to ceiling windows! It’s fantastic!

This is a review for Amee.
Amee is the best hair stylest I’ve ever had. It is always difficult to find a good hairstylist who really listenes to what you want, or can do what you ask, but Amee truly understands hair. At this point I don’t even have to say a thing and she does my hair flawlesly every time. She will not only listen to what you want but she’ll use her masterful skills to sculpt your hair into more than you could have imagined. The next time you’ll need your hair cut is because it got too long, but the style will still be amazing.
She is also very sweet and fun to talk to. Wish my haircuts lasted longer so I could hang out with her more!
So do yourself a favor, get over to Suite Five and ask for Amee.

I have been a client of Bradley’s for over six years now, and have continually been impressed and beyond satisfied with his cuts — by now he knows what I like and what looks good on me so well, I hardly have to tell him anything! I just sit down and let him work his magic… go to him, you won’t be disappointed!
Melissa has been my colorist for just over a year now, and is a true perfectionist. She focuses on finding the right color combination for your skin tone, and takes her time to make sure the final result is perfect. A meticulous person myself, I really appreciate her attention to detail, and the amount of pride she takes in her work. Her results are always amazing — spot on color with a natural look.
A truly awesome salon! Bradley + Melissa = gorgeous hair!

I have tried about 3 – 4 different high-​priced salons/​stylists after moving here 4 years ago. The last cut and color I had was so bad that let it grow out substantially hoping to cover up some of the over bleached areas. On my NYC trip my stylist of 8 years recolored, cut and got the natural highlights back.
On a recommendation from a friend, I ventured to Suite Five Salon. Melissa has now highlighted my hair twice keeping that natural look and taking a lot of time to produce great results. Bradley cut my hair on this last trip and I couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend Five Salon and ask for Melissa if you need color and Bradley for an amazing cut.

I love my hairstylist at Suite Five and have been going to him for over 10 years. I have told friends about Don Gonzales but I have never Unilocaled. I have been selfish about sharing just how good he is! I have lots of hair. He takes so much time cutting, then drying, smoothing and then going through again to ensure it is perfect. I absolutely love what he does. I get several compliments after each hair cut. I live in the East Bay and I still wouldn’t go anywhere else! He is the best.

Have to give 5 stars. My husband says Bradley gave me the best haircut he’s seen since we started seeing each other 4 years ago. Can’t go wrong with that.
Bradley is awesome. My usual Stylist moved to NYC and I was bummed out. I found Bradley on Unilocal and decided to go and see him. I’m so happy I did. Not only is he nice but I love the extra attention from my new hubby.

Even though I moved out of SF years ago, I still make the trek into the city for my haircuts with Bradley (great excuse for a lunch or dinner out, too). I’ve followed Bradley through several salon changes, and I couldn’t be happier to see him with a successful place of his own.
He gives me a perfect haircut every time. I’m always surprised at what a big difference a great haircut can make.
The great shampoo and catching up with Bradley are just icing on the cake.

I went to Bradley years ago when he was with another salon. Now he owns Suite Five and I couldn’t be happier to be his client again. When I returned to CA, I didn’t realize Bradley was in SF. Stupid me… stupid stupid me. My hair cut was a disaster!
Well, Bradley took one look at my curly badly layered frock and knew exactly what to do. In just two hair cuts, he had completely erased the prior butchering. I cannot recommend him enough. He cuts my curly hair to perfection. It looks good straight, it looks good naturally curly, it just looks good! He used to cut my mom’s short hair when she still got it down in the city. He, of course, also did a great job with her unwieldy thick hair. The short bob took years off of her. I loved it.
I also go to Rita for color. Rita rocks my world as well. I went to a fancy schmancy salon in Miami. I didn’t think anyone would be up to par. Rita pleasantly surprised me. Every time I go in, I always want something a little different. Darker, more blond, more red. Rita listens to my demands of the month and always provides perfectly. She is sweet and fun to talk to while I get all my foils.
The entire salon is full of nice friendly talented people. Definitely do Bradley for hair and Rita for color. Not cheap, but 100% worth it.
Big bonus!!! They support locals artists. Every few weeks (or month?) they put up new art which is also for sale. The salon has small gatherings to view the art and meet the artist.
Lastly, but just as cool, they also have blow out classes. I haven’t been yet. But, one day, I will. Then I will finally be able to blow dry my hair straight without looking like a circus freak.

I have been getting my hair cut by Karrie Dies for several years now both at Suite Five and her previous employer. Karrie does a great job cutting curly hair which is not the easiest to cut. Karrie is very consistent and I have never received a haircut from her that I was disappointed in.
Suite Five is nice and open with good views in a convenient location.

My stylist superstar Amee is here now, and I’ve followed.
Nice, comfortable salon with beautiful views. Really mellow vibe overall and the staff are friendly.
Amee provides quality cuts and takes the time to make you look great. She is not pushy with the products, which is why I seek her advice on what to purchase to make my difficult head of thick hair look good.
Thank you, Amee!
