Public Barber Salon

I was in desperate need of a haircut with a stopover at SFO en route to Asia! The Google gods said Ruby at Public Barber Salon would be the answer. The gods were not wrong. Ruby did a great job to make the best of my coif, and she was convivial as well. Pricey by my hometown standards? But I suspect it was a bargain in the Bay Area. In fact, if I found myself with another long layover in SF, I’d be delighted to give Ruby another shot at “taming the beast” that lives a top my skull! 🤪

I can’t say enough great things about Jeanie! She has such an eye for detail and a true gift when it comes to cutting hair. Every snip felt intentional, and the end result was flawless. Her magical touch made the whole experience feel special, and I walked out loving my hair. If you’re looking for someone who combines skill, care, and artistry — Jeanie is it!

I’ve been getting my haircut with Ruby Blunt for four years now and she’s never failed me. She’s always let me be creative and try new things while guiding me and supporting me along the way. Ruby is a gem. If you can get a haircut with her, do it.

I just had my hair cut by Steve last night. He did a fabulous job and gave me the best shag(ish) cut. I asked him to give me lots of layers and then do what he thought was best in front. He really did a great job around my face and took into account my face shape, hair texture and part. Even though I have super thick hair, he took his time and didn’t rush me out. It’s a great cut! The shop itself is super cool. The owner has outfitted the walls with bookcases to the ceiling that were built by a local wood worker. They are totally packed with antique books. It gives off a warm, welcoming vibe. The salon only uses natural products and nothing with plastics or toxins in it. Extra bonus, they smell great! Overall it was an A+ experience!

I have been going to Spencer for haircuts, and they’re simply amazing! Spencer is incredibly skilled, pays attention to detail, and always ensures I leave feeling great about my haircut. The salon itself is cozy, inviting, and has such a friendly vibe - it makes the whole experience even better. The location in North Beach adds to the charm; it’s a lovely Italian neighborhood with fantastic food options and a beautiful park nearby, making it easy to turn a haircut into a relaxing outing. Highly recommend Spencer and this salon to anyone looking for quality cuts and a welcoming atmosphere!
