Piedmont Hairport

my husband got one of the worst haircuts I’ve ever seen! it literally looks like a blind person cut his hair. when he refused to pay the full amount because half of his sideburns were butchered they told him to go to hell lol.

Update!
So my hair is always awesome whenever I leave, I had to make an update. Since I first found this place Lee has taken care of me with the highest time honored care. I love this place and I shall always recommend it to everyone.

I love Lee — she does a great job on my hair (I will update so I have a picture up soon :)
I have some hair thinning and she has given me good tips on how to keep it in good shape and always makes me look great.
She gives a very careful cut and I look forward to going in to see her. I never feel rushed but am always in and out in under a half hour.

Got an eyebrow wax for $ 14.
Needless to say, Lee is a perfectionist who will take her time and provide a generally painless job. We exchanged stories about our families as she trimmed, waxed and plucked away. She kept complimenting me too, which was absolutely sweet of her! Had to give her the full $ 20. I can’t always afford to come here, but she definitely does an amazing job.
At first, I was scared she was waxing off too much because she does small areas at a time, but everything turned out great and I’m happy with the results.
Overall, very detail oriented, clean and I will definitely be coming back!

If you do not mind paying $ 60 plus tip for a haircut, this is your spot. I been frequenting this place, but I noticed that if the ladies have never seen you before, they come off as a bit cold and standoffish. You probably will not be acknowledge until about 5 – 10 minutes later. I like my haircuts after leaving this place, but the attitude of these ladies turn me off. Otherwise I do not think I would mind paying $ 60 for a fabulous haircut. This place is probably not good for children, they do not seem like the type that will have the patience to cut a child’s hair, especially a squirmish one. Visit at your own discretion people!

I love Amy at Piedmont Hairport… she really does a good job cutting my hair, intuiting what I want, and basically making my hair look better than I imagined it could! And the last time I was there, while the highlights were setting in my hair, she threw my 3yo daughter in the chair next to me and cut her bangs (which really needed it!) for free… she’s great with kids too… :)

I have been getting my haircut here for about 9 years and have always been happy with the quality, the speed and the price. This place is no longer particularly close to where I live, but I still keep driving back to get my haircut.

I love Lee! She is consistently the best wax person I have ever gone to. Every once in a while I get lured into having someone else do it (Why do I always decide I HAVE to get waxed on Mondays when they are closed?) but I always regret it. Other places can be cheaper, but they speed through the process and it grows back quickly, with many broken hairs that create stubble a few days later. There is also sometimes irritation because the wax is too hot or too cool and sticks to your skin. With the increase in speed there is also a price to pay in pain as well… and none of this every has happened with Lee!
Lee is careful, conscientious, hygienic and detail oriented. I am consistently pleased with her work and since it lasts so long, the money ends up pretty even in the long run. I recommend an appointment, but if you are a walk-​in they will do their best to find a slot for you. Since the neighborhood is so vibrant, I can always find something to do if I have to wait. Beware, they only take cash, but there are 2 banks close (Citibank across the street and WFargo a block away).
Have no regrets, go to LEE!

Have been coming here for 10+ years to get my hair cut and highlighted. Amy is amazing. They are always a pleasure to deal with. Could not recommend more highly!

LEE IS AMAZING!!! Thank god for Unilocal reviews, otherwise I would have never known about her! She was so quick and did an great job! This was my first wax in 8 years, and it was no where near as painful as I thought it would be! AMAZING AMAZING!!!

It’s my lunch break at work… must.get.out.of.office! I wasn’t hungry as I’ve been snacking all morning so I start to walk aimlessly up Piedmont Avenue. Hmmm, what to do, what to do? Hungry? No. Need to pick up groceries? No. Ah, I got it… haircut! I’ve been so fed up with it and have been meaning to get a cut but that was the last thing on my mind… until now.
The place I frequent didn’t have any openings so I continued to walk up the street and low and behold, a tiny little hole in the wall. You guessed it, Piedmont Hairport. The only 2 people there were the staff. Hmmm… should I or shouldn’t I? What’s that on the door, a Unilocal sticker? Ok, I should.
I sit my ass down and tell Amy what I want. She was honest in saying she didn’t it would look good (with my hair type) and told me what would look better. Hmmm, I thought it’s been working but ok, I’ll try something new and besides, she’s the expert. Snip snip here, snip snip there… pretty quick but not to the point where she did a rush job. BTW, one thing to know before coming here is they only accept cash. If you need money, there’s a Citibank ATM right across the street.
I left feeling ok with the result, however, I did have reservations about not having layers in my already thick hair. The cost of $ 60 was more than I expected but that’s my fault for not asking up front.
Fast forward a few days later. I knew I should have insisted on layers! I told her what would happen if it’s not layered and sure enough… blah, I do not like. According to previous reviews, Amy is great. Unfortunately with me, she missed the mark. Sad to say, I’ve already made another appointment elsewhere which costs less than half of what I paid. So much for being spontaneous!

Love coming to this place. Amy and Lee are very good at what they do. My husband and 6-​year old daughter also come here. We’re very happy with the prices and the quality of the cut, coloring, and waxing.

Popped in on a Saturday morning hoping to get a quick trim (I have long, layered hair). One woman was busy cutting a man’s hair, and another women came up to help me schedule an appointment. At first she told me that there was no availability that morning, and that they were closed on Sunday and Mondays, so then when I asked for an appointment on Tuesday evening she starting speaking with the other woman (who was cutting the man’s hair), and then said «she doesn’t cut long hair» with a sheepish look on her face.
Really?
Too bad there was another girl sitting in a chair apparently waiting for a haircut…

I went to Lee at the Hairport for my waxes and facials for years before moving to San Francisco. I miss Lee terribly and have never had a facial as wonderful as hers since. I am considering driving back out to Piedmont to see her again, after being disappointed one to many times in SF salons.

I’ve been going to see Amy and Lee for a number of years now, and I hesitate to recommend them because they have been growing increasingly popular, and I can’t just walk in like I used to! Yet I will continue to patronize them. First and foremost, Amy cuts my hair consistently well, and she does it relatively quickly without any drama. She is straight-​up honest when I query her on how certain styles would look on me (Emphatic «NO» on dreads for this 50+ WG, a simple «no» on the ubiquitous reddish-​brown dye far too many men opt for, a cheerful «no» on a ponytail for this thinning scalp, and a very fun «no» when I initially tested her with the idea of a jet-​black mullet!). And then there’s Lee… nodding her agreement with Lee and offering her thoughts on the various topics, while never pressuring me to seek treatment from her for my chlorine-​saturated and sun-​fried dermis. Both ladies are wonderful, fun, friendly, and honest while plying their trade. What more could one ask for. It’s always a pleasure to visit them.

Amy and Lee are the best. Lee is the best in waxing and cutting men’s hair and Amy is best for cutting women’s hair or color. I must admit they are a bit expensive comparing to other places. However you’ll get the service from the 2 of them… so it’s worth it. I have been going to this place for past 8 years and always left happy. GO GIRLS!

Yay Amy and Lee!
I’ve been coming to this place for at least 5 years now and I love the fact that Amy is honesty with the new hair styles I want to try out. She has no problem saying something will not look good on me, etc.
I think their prices are very reasonable, too!

I have been coming here to see Lee for at least 1.5 years. I’ve done eyebrow/​facial waxing with her as well as attempted a bikini wax. Well, I’m a complete sissy, so I couldn’t bring myself to actually go through with the bikini wax (some day I’ll go through with it… maybe I have to drink a lot first), but I did hold my friend’s hand as she got a bikini wax with Lee. My friend said it was as comfortable as it could have been and since then has been going to Lee. And Lee is so comforting and easy to talk to. Furthermore, her prices are SUPER reasonable. I can’t imagine going to anyone else for my regular grooming as long as I live in the bay area. Thanks Lee!

Lee has cut my hair for probably a decade. Granted, men’s haircurts, or at least this man’s dome jobs, are probably hard to screw up. But Lee never screws up. Lee and her sister Amy are friendly and know how important a good reputation is in their business. They are sincere and take pride in their relations with customers. Lee is always pleasant and ready to talk restaurants or travel. I’m biased but what more do you want besides someone doing a good job at a reasonable price?

ya know… when you find a *really* good person to work with in any trade — you stick with them.
Amy has been cutting my hair for… oh gawd… a lot of years now. five? six?
all I know is that even though I’ve moved from the east bay to SF, I *still* drive back to piedmont to see Amy and Lee and get a damn-​good haircut. they’re two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, and take obvious pride in doing very good work (every time).
there have been a few times when I’ve had to get my hair cut here in the city, and even at twice the price I’ve yet to find anyone here who does a job that comes close to what Amy does. I actually feel like a traitor any time I let someone else take the shears to me!
