Your Premier Hair Salon in San Francisco
Since 1998, Studio Redz Hair Salon has been a cornerstone of the West Portal community, dedicated to redefining beauty through personalized hair care. Founded by Karen McDonald and Cathy Kelly, our journey began in a small three-chair studio that offered an alternative to downtown salons. Though we endured the loss of our original space in a 2012 fire, we reemerged stronger in a revitalized location, continuing our commitment to excellence. Our team of passionate stylists combines advanced education with a deep understanding of luxury haircare, partnering exclusively with premium brands like Kevin.Murphy, Oribe, and Color Wow.As a Kevin.Murphy Session.Salon, we maintain rigorous standards, ensuring every visit delivers innovative techniques, meticulous attention to detail, and an unparalleled experience that celebrates individuality. With a focus on continuous learning and client-centric service, we strive to make every appointment a transformative and enjoyable moment.
