Supercuts

Okay so I’m not reviewing this for myself — but I will say my 5 year old son loves getting his haircut here. There hasn’t been a wait (or much of one) the 3 times we have gone and the cut his hair quickly and it looks nice. I have no idea if adult hair is much different but if you have kids its fast and pretty cheap.

Prices are up $ 20, and it is not where you come if your looking for a Full Salon Experience, but for those of us that just want a basic cut, and don’t want to wait it is a great option.
I like the older Asian women that staff the place, and I don’t have an issue with an Auntie cutting this White Boys Hair,
That said my favorite place for a hair cut would be from the Barber Shop, Dick’s International that charges a very fair price ($ 13), and where you get spoiled with a Straight Razor Clean Up, Hot Towels, and Shoulder Massage, its very much a great place for Dudes place, but FYI it does get busy which is why I sometime just drop in at Supercuts.

There are two types of people in this world, the one who care so much about their hair and the ones who don’t. Come here if you don’t. $ 19 is what they charge for a haircut.

I come here every month for my haircut. Give them instructions to use number 2 for the sides and a little off the top. I am always happy with my cut. I use Hao and she is very friendly and has a good attitude.

Seriously with all of the Professional Salons on Irving, Judah, Taraval, and West Portal, WHY would anyone come here? Ridiculous price for their limited services & Micky Mouse work!
I came here a few times & was thoroughly dissapointed. I wanted the sides of my head shaved (I’ve a mohawk) & each time I requested a double Zero & they only used a zero. For some REASON they don’t give me the shave that I want and it is irritating, especially since they are bloody expensive. I wanted a Very clean shave & for $ 20 they didnt give me what I requested!
There are much better places way cheaper in Castro/​Mission — I was just desperate when I used SuperCuts for convenience & maintenance reasons.
Ill never go to any of em again!
Their ‘Hair Cutters’ seem to lack technique, individuality, and personality. Its like they are cutting by the instructions of a book. Taking steps and reading manuals. Seriously, they do ‘Micky Mouse’ work and after the number of times I have unfortunately used them I am not convinced that the people who work here are real Stylists and there is nothing Super about Supercuts!

Came here looking to get my hair layered. Had hair down to my hips. The layers I asked for are nonexistent. I asked her NOT to cut the length, then she cut off 4 inches. I asked her to please give me more defined layers. She made several excuses as to why she could not layer my hair anymore then the few hairs she had already layered. The only difference I saw in my hair is the length is way shorter then it was when I came in. IM not as angry about the layers as I am sad about the length.

My fiancé and I had the worst customer service experience of our entire combined lives at this establishment.
According to the reviews, this has happened multiple times. I would advice people not to come to this place. My fiancé got his hair cut here. He usually gets his hair cut with a 1 on the sides of his hair, and the hairdresser used a triple 0 stating that she did not realize what setting was active. On top of that, he was left with a hole on his right temple.
He came home more distressed then I ever have seen him in our 4 years of dating. We went back to have it even out. My fiancé asked for me to drive with him, just for support. When we met the same hair dresser who cut his hair, I was there with him in the first minute to help show where the whole was. A different hair dresser who had pulled my fiancé in the back stating «Jesus Christ!» in reaction to how bad the haircut was. When they returned, I tried to help show where the whole was and the actual woman who was going to cut his hair and the first hair dresser yelled «YOU NEED TO SIT DOWN RIGHT NOW!» It was a very odd reaction, in that I wasn’t really saying anything or doing anything. I don’t know why I was being accosted, when the hairdressers were at tension with each other. It was very unprofessional to take out their anxiety and anger on the customers.
He is now completely bald…
I would advise you to take your money elsewhere.

If there were 0 stars, I’d definitely give it to them not only for the worst haircut of my life, but for the way their staff treated both me and my fiancé. I came in for a regular haircut. The initial hairdresser stopped midway and told me she ended up using the wrong settings on her trimmer and that my hair would essentially have to be much shorter than I usually keep it. OK, no problems at this point (even for a man with thin hair like myself, it could be worse). However, after about an hour in trimming and a switch in the hairdresser, I was left with a small hole over my side. Super angry, especially since I had already gone home when I realized it.
I freaked out. Literally. My fiancé was kind enough to drive with me back to the place to help me hopefully salvage the situation. However, the staff was not only reticent to help me, expressing both exasperation and annoyance, but they had the nerve to yell at my fiancé when she was trying simply to show them where the issue was. I cannot believe any staff member would treat customers with such disdain and resentment. This is the last time I give any money to this place. You shouldn’t either. No one should be treated like that; I mean, I’m doing them a favor by coming back and trusting them to fix their mistake. Instead, I ended up bald and extremely angry.
Of note, another reviewer stated Chau was «the best hairdresser.» She’s the one who screwed up my hair, so go figure.

This place really needs to be reviewed by management. I needed to get my kids haircuts and wanted a quick trim. The Asian lady that assisted us was great however the other lady that was working was just terrible. She could not help us because she had to take a break and then every excuse she could think of. I would not return here again.

I patronized this place for years but the one time I needed a haircut rather quickly and made an apointment to get it, the greedy owner wanted to make me wait and instead took a customer who walked in without an appointment seconds before me. So obviously I’m never going back. There are lots of barber shops on Geary Boulevard.

In spite of being part of a soul-​less brand, the staff here is friendly, attentive and provide a quality basic hair cut. Given that a cut and shampoo costs $ 25 + tip, it’s hard to beat the value and over the past two years that I’ve been going here, I’ve never had a reason to complain. It’s not a top salon like you’d find in Hayes Valley or Lower Haight, but it’s also less than half the price!

My boyfriend came here and asked the stylist (I believe her name was Destiny, but I might be wrong) if she could help even out the haircut he gave himself.
She was super eager to reassure him that she COULD indeed do what he had asked. And then before he could even realize what had happened, she took a clipper to the back of his head and literally HACKED all of his hair off with a clipper, leaving a .25 inches of hair IF that.
Still trying to understand what had just happened, he felt the back of his head… to his dismay there was not much left.
He politely asked her to stop and walked out. We had to go buy a hat because he did not want anyone seeing this work of art.
STAY AWAY. You’ve been forewarned.

This is my first time ever writing a review for any business, but I literally felt I needed to write how terrible my experience was here.
I desperately needed a haircut because my split ends were out of control. So the girl at the salon that I usually go to couldn’t take me for another 2 weeks so I figured that I’ll just save a buck, take a chance and go to Supercuts. There was no line, so that was good, however I should have realized that was a red flag.
First off, she didn’t even ask to wash my hair. I just figured that was standard protocol anywhere you get a haircut. I did mention that I washed my hair earlier that day, and apologized for the kinks that my hair band put in it. I figured she would still take me to wash it. But she didn’t.
As she was cutting it, I mentioned I wanted only an inch off at most, I just wanted the dead ends removed. As she was cutting it, I felt nervous that it wasn’t going to look right. After she cut it I looked at it, and it didn’t even seem like an inch so I said she can cut it a little bit more. But this time it seemed like she took 2 – 3 inches off. It was completely shorter than I asked. As I left and saw my haircut it seemed off, but I didnt notice until I went home that it was actually crooked! The right side was layered but the left side just seemed bluntly cut at 3 different levels. It was horrible! It was uneven and it did not match.
After realizing how disappointed I was in my haircut, I decided I had to go back and confront the stylist. Unfortunately she was with another client and had a second one in line. She noticed me immediately as I walked in, and by the look on her face I could tell she knew that I was not happy. I asked her if I could talk to the manager and she said that the manager wasn’t there at the time. I showed her the haircut was uneven and said I was disappointed and was not satisfied. She apologized and said that she would reimburse me. I do appreciate that. However when I again asked the manager’s name she later lied and said she was in fact the manager.
I could not deal with the lie, so I took my money back and left. So disappointed.

I can only comment on haircuts by Chau, as she is the only one who has cut my hair there. She is absolutely amazing! I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re going to go, call in advance (same day) and ask for Chau! You will not be disappointed!

Cheap… Chau is the best one there, she always does a great job. Call ahead. To get her. She just makes it look good!

I was surprised to find this location right next to my physical therapist. I was able to just walk in and get a great haircut for a reasonable price! Nittaya was very pleasant and sweet. I will definitely go back again!

Who the heck are they giving cosmetology licenses out to today? Answer: the people who work at Supercuts on Geary.
I’ve gone in there in the past for some quick bang trims and wasn’t disappointed. I think the reason why is I spent five minutes maximum time in the chair until today…
Went in and asked for a shampoo, bang trim and blow dry. Walked out with decent enough bangs, a half-​dry, greasy head with a godawful smell, $ 32 dollars poorer, and 35 minutes of my life gone. What an effing waste.
Shampoo-​Hairdresser began lathering shampoo into my head when I had to remind her to wet the bottom part of my hair. Ooops, strike one.
Bang trim-​Not too bad, although a bit shorter than I asked for. I can live with this considering I wait two months to get them cut; these will just last me a bit longer.
Blow dry-​Hairdresser tries to part my hair to the wrong side and spends the majority of the time she should have been drying it flipping it back and forth while waving the hair dryer around. To top it off she used this terrible ‘hair serum’ that left my hair super effing greasy.
Voila! I’m livid and just need to get the hell out. Damages come to $ 32 dollars. As bad as I feel for the poor soul who just spent time on my hair I can’t leave a tip. I went home, finished the dryer job on my own, and spent the $ 4 I would have given her on two tallboys from the corner store.
NEVER, NEVER GO TO THIS SUPERCUTS.

I got my haircut here the day before Thanksgiving. I hated it. I asked for 3 inches off — and it was lobbed off like I was donating for Locks of Love. I was so angry, I paid, did not say anything (I was so upset) — and left calmly. I will never get my haircut here again. While I know hair grows back and I shouldn’t be too dramatic here — this exceptionally short haircut has now added 1 hour on to my daily routine — because I can’t wear it curly at this length. Note that the stylist at Supercuts did all the cutting behind my head — so I could not see that she was hacking away at it.
My s.o.‘s haircut two days later (by the same stylist — much to my horror) — was outstanding. Go figure.

I feel bad writing this review but hopefully not as bad as the person that was cutting my hair. That person should be feeling really, really terrible. In the future, I will i) clearly and thoroughly describe my wants before any hair cutting implements are picked up, ii) request that the person holding the scissors acknowledge that we have a mutual understanding of each others’ needs (hair cutter: income + tip and me: competent haircut), iii) monitor like a mo’ fo’. It takes two people to make a bad haircut and the one star reflects as much my failings as those of the hair cutter’s.

Nice enough staff, but I find that you have to be incredibly specific when you tell them how you want your haircut, otherwise you’ll walk out feeling very disappointed.
If you want a basic style and don’t mind paying $ 16 plus tip, this might be the spot for you.
