Gilbert at Salon Mio Mio recently gave me a haircut that tamed the frizz, embraced the curl, and framed my face, three things I have been looking for in my substantial hair history. He was quick to assess my hair, (and he assessed me too!) to know that this would not be a daily hair straightening/blow dry situation but rather he worked with what I had, and who I was.
The result is really a fun easy haircut that is still long, (even long enough for a ponytail!), but when around my face frames it with my very own curls. He also advised me how to care for my newly embraced curls, including being gentle when drying with a microfiber towel, as well as styling tips.
What caught my attention from former reviews and photos was the art in the salon. The murals and decor capture the essence of San Francisco in the most beautiful way, (I have been here since 1972), and in person it made me feel as if I picked the right place. The location on Castro at 24th is bustling in a good way and represents vibrant, alive, and diverse San Francisco.
Gilbert is a true professional, talented and insightful-Salon Mio Mio is a jewel.

To have a great hairstylist a five minute walk from one's house is my idea of amazing Karma! MioMio is a very welcoming and comfortable place and Gilbert is an exceptional stylist. He is creative, adventurous and highly skilled. He has a unique way of discovering what I really want and need in a cut. Added to all that, he is a great conversationalist and has a terrific sense of humor. I am incredibly lucky that this is all a 5 minute walk away!

I have severe hairstylist trust issues so I normally cut my own hair. But I trusted Gilbert to give me my biggest haircut in 20 years! He cut off about 6 inches and I feel like a new woman without the dead damaged ends! He did long layers and reduced some bulk to make my hair feel so bouncy but thick at the same time. I appreciate that he took a lot of time to consult with me and make sure we were on the same page about what the plan was. He was open to collaborating.

Priscilla is so talented and absolutely incredible! She has been adding soft natural looking highlights to my hair for several years now and never ceases to amaze me with her artistry. A true perfectionist, she takes the time to really listen to what you want and then brings your vision to reality. I highly recommend Priscilla and feel so lucky to have found her!

Nestled in the heart of the Noe Valley, Salon Mio Mio is a hidden gem that artfully combines the sophistication of a high-end salon with the warmth of a cozy home. From the moment you step through the elegant glass doors, you are greeted by the soothing scent of essential oils and the gentle hum of soft music, setting the perfect ambiance for a pampering experience.
The decor is a harmonious blend of modern chic and inviting comfort, featuring plush seating, tasteful artwork, and soft lighting that creates a serene atmosphere. Each stylist is not only highly skilled but also genuinely welcoming, making you feel like part of the family from the very first consultation. They take the time to listen to your desires and concerns, ensuring that you leave with a look that not only enhances your natural beauty but also reflects your personal style.
The service is impeccable, with every detail meticulously attended to. I opted for a color treatment and a cut, and I was thoroughly impressed by the stylist's expertise and creativity. They seamlessly blended shades to create a stunning, multidimensional look that turned heads everywhere I went. The use of high-quality products further elevated the experience, leaving my hair feeling healthy and vibrant.
What truly sets Salon Mio Mio apart, however, is the genuine warmth of the staff. Between the laughter and friendly conversation, it felt less like a salon visit and more like catching up with old friends.
In summary, Salon Mio Mio is a perfect fusion of high-end elegance and homey charm. Whether you’re looking for a bold transformation or a simple refresh, this salon delivers an exceptional experience that will have you coming back for more. A true sanctuary for your hair, I can’t recommend it highly enough!

10/10 for Priscilla. Have never loved a haircut as much as I love the one she gave me. I kind of told her what I wanted but let her take the reins and she exceeded all expectations. I will definitely be a new regular. She's also a genuinely kind person. The salon is super cute and clean and the art is amazing. Really good vibes. Even the music was perfect. I loved my experience here and so happy I found this place. Prices are not outrageous like a lot of other places of this caliber in the city. I did tons of research and let me just save you the trouble- come here.

I got a haircut from Gilbert and I'm super satisfied with it. I have long wavy/ kinda curly-also coarse frizzy (but still beautiful ) heavy middle-eastern hair and lots of it. I got a v shape hair cut with long layers. He was so careful to not cut my hair shorter than I wanted. Also he took the weight off which feels so good and looks stylish. He's also a good company; a good listener especially when it comes to your hair requests. I had a great evening having my hair cut at Salon Mio Mio and chatting with Gilbert. I'll go there again.

I came in pretty nervous to make a drastic change to my hair and left feeling like I was on cloud nine! My stylist walked me through the process of cutting my hair and made me feel totally in control and informed throughout the process. As someone whose biggest fear was walking out with a bad haircut this was the most affirming hair experience I could have asked for. I cannot recommend this salon enough and will be back!

This review is going to take you on a rollercoaster. TL;DR, trust the process and the experts.
I hadn't had a professional haircut in probably 5 years, and I had never lightened my hair. I used to have very long, very straight blonde hair naturally lightened from the sun.
Cut to 2 years of never seeing the sun in New England, aging, and my hair texture changing. My first visit I initially wanted about 6-8 inches off. When I left I was in complete shell shock going from near waist length hair to shoulder length.
Gilbert assessed my hair as he was cutting it, and made the best decisions for my new hair type. In 44 years of having straight long hair, I had no idea it had a wave and he gave me a cut that really accentuated that. I left however feeling kinda sad that all the blonde from my Californian years was cut off, and the remaining New England hair felt dull.
I returned to Gilbert 6 weeks later and opted to go with the balayage he had recommended in the prior visit, which would replicate the natural pattern of my hair growing and getting sun bleached. This was the first time I've ever had any permanent hair color. I didn't know what I wanted or how to describe it, and just pulled up a bunch of my old pictures.
He was able to give me the absolutely natural look of my old hair back, and I couldn't be happier.

Gilbert was such an amazing hair stylist/artist who gave me a beautiful cut-- I haven't felt this confident in the long time! We went over what would work best for me and follow-up care, as well. If you want someone who knows what they're doing and is confident in their craft, Salon Mio Mio is your new hair salon!

I’ve been going to this Salon since my favorite hair stylist/colorist left town to get married for heaven’s sake! 10 years or so, I think. I’m very particular with my hair color so I got the “formula” from my former stylist and friend. Gilbert knew exactly what she was talking about and boy was he right. I told her what Gilbert’s comments were about the color formula. She said ”Oh yea, he knows exactly what he’s talking about. You found a keeper.” From that point on, I never looked back, except for her wedding which I attended.
Gilbert cuts and colors my hair and my husband’s. Gilbert is awesome. He’s the Salon’s owner. I’ve been going so long I’ve lived through his remodeling his space and it looks great. Comfortable, casual but somewhat elegant and a no muss no fuss approach. He has great ideas which I trust deeply. He’s creative, refreshingly honest, likes to hear about your exciting travels, etc. his bookings are easily completed online, he takes square for payment. It’s overall well time spent without wasting your or his time! My husband just loves the quality of Gilbert’s haircuts on him. And, I love my haircuts from Gilbert. I go regularly because that’s the best way to keep your hair looking good. I don’t get my hair cut every time because Gilbert and I agree if often doesn’t need it every visit, so sometimes I just do color (for me without much gray, root touch-ups only that gives my hair a deeper lustrous look and feel). Because of Gilbert’s input, we went darker and I get so many compliments. I get many compliments on my sassy haircuts, too. I’m best in a shag, but we’ve done all sorts of other cuts, all of which we’re great for their own reasons. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend anyone to Gilbert. He’s simply the best!
