Thank you so much for being the best salon in the Bay Area (I looked for years, trust me) and thank you Kristal for making my hair ROCK OUT last night!!!  I’m sending you guys some pics.  Everyone loved my hair.  There were hairstylists there from a lot of San Francisco Salons and they were all feeling it!  So thank you!  It was awesome!  It is now the day after and I look like a porcupine that has been electrocuted (my usual look) but I can’t help but look back on the pictures and the one night I looked like a lady.  ;)

Thanks again guys!!
Love, Meggy T.

What makes Festoon special is that you can count on a hair style that is uniquely tailored to flatter your features.  It’s definitely not a cookie-cutter approach to hair cuts like so many other places.  They have the artistic sensibility I have always been looking for.  I lived in Europe for a couple of years and generally got the best hair cuts ever; they approached hair cutting as an art.  When I came back to the Bay Area I tried out many places to find the same level of quality and attention.  I found this at Festoon.  Their hairstylists are remarkably consistent.  I would trust my hair with any one there.  For me, Festoon is my HAIR SALON FOR LIFE!

I just wanted to let you know that I couldn’t be happier with my New Haircut… and New Stylist!  Kim was AWESOME!  She patiently listened to the last ‘traumatic’ experience with a new stylist and totally made me feel at ease.  She’s super talented and has a fun personality… I’ll definitely be passing on her information to all my friends.  I’ve gotten lots of compliments on my new look and have already set up my next appointment.  Thanks Kim for making me fabulous!
