Michael Joseph Fitzpatrick

I didn’t know my hair is that beautiful until I started to have haircuts with Michael. Michael really knows how to bring out what is best in your hair. The perfect shape gives natural look and as hair grows out, the shape does not get lost. Admired by all my friends

Over the years, I’ve been to many hair stylists both in San Francisco and Beverly Hills, and I have to say Michael is at the top of my list. His skill, both with color and cuts, is amazing, and his excellent products are organic and nourish my hair instead of making it stiff and dry. He listens to what I want, then gives it to me. Since going to him, I’ve gotten more compliments on my hair than in a long time. I’ve been going to Michael for about a year now and highly recommend him!

I never write reviews on Unilocal,but I thought it was necessary based on the terrible haircut I received. My hair is growing out like a bush, its fuzzy and has no form. For the $ 75+ I paid, I was expecting top shelf performance. The actual outcome was on par with super cuts. He also pushed his own line of product extensively, to the point it was distasteful and tacky. I attempted to get a hold of Michael in hopes of resolving the matter but received no call back. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I used to walk out feeling like a million bucks and have a good time but not this time.

When I first spoke with Michael, he was extremely detail oriented and sounded like what he was doing. I have fine-​mid wavy hair, which has volume but needs to be carefully cut to avoid thinning out.
As the session started, he talked a LOT about his hair products. In fact, most part of the hair cut was focused on talking about his hair products which I thought to be a bit strange.
Anyway, he went on to talk about how he had experience styling hair in tropical countries so knew exactly how to cut hair. He went on to use a lot of his hair gel as he styled my hair, while at the same time telling me my hair was in fact, curly, not wavy (right– I’ve only lived with my hair for 25 years now).
After my haircut, I looked like a different person with way too many layers that what needs to be given for someone with my hair texture. As the hair grew out, the ends were extremely tangled because he used shears to cut my fine hair.
I had to trim off a good two inches after two months (by a different stylist– much cheaper) to get it looking healthy again. I think haircuts should be focused on enhancing the natural texture and not by having customers use hair gel and trying to change how it looks.
I don’t think I will be going back here.

Absolutely the best hair stylist ever! He knows what he’s doing, I always thought I had difficult to handle hair, very problematic, I have curly, wavy and straight hair and he gets it right every time. He cuts my hair so that I can style and manage my hair myself.

I used to be terrified getting my hair cut — ever since I was 12 it was one embarrassing or disappointing hair cut after another and I resigned myself to only getting a «trim» once a year. I always kept my unruly curly hair tied back and teetered back and forth about permanently straightening my hair.
But then I met Michael Joseph. I have never walked out of a hair cut feeling amazing, and the other reviews are right — the day I walked out with my hair cut I got a compliment on my beautiful hair! I have found the one person who knows how to cut my hair so it falls naturally — bouncy and light, but still professional.
And then I used his Kahuna Organics hair gel — one of the most amazing products I have used. Just apply on your wet hair and once it dries, you have perfect light weight ringlets — no hard curls, no grease or oil, and no weighing down. I’ve tried all of them out there, and this is simply the best.
Thank you Michael Joseph and Kahuna Organics!

Michael Joseph Fitzpatrick is… awesome!
So 7 years have gone by. Not only do I trust him, my teen daughter and my teen son (who have experienced others) know and appreciate the difference and are committed fans as well.
Me, I’ve gone long, short, color, to exact cuts to natural waves. Trust. Trust. Trust.
My daughter went from waist long to boy cropped and donated her hair to Locks for Love. Now that’s an experience and Michael advised her well. She loved it. Now 7 years later and as an exchange student, she will not allow anyone to cut her hair and keeps the ends healthy with Michaels products and oils and her hair still looks amazing (because he cut it with the time in mind and schooled her on the care!).
My son, also knows he can have fun with his hair and Michael Joseph knows wavy teen hair be it long or athletic cut. AND no ugly fish hooks or lopsided shapes.
Thank you Michael Joseph for all your expertise, care and products – Kahuna Organics are tremendous.

I was looking for a high end salon for a hair cut, i came across Michael Joseph on Unilocal,glad i did, amazing haircut. he does an amazing cut on men’s hair. Highly recommended for any guys looking for a awesome haircut. He let’s you know what he is doing at every step, no surprises, your left with exactly what you had in mind.

Great cut after great cut after great cut!

I’ve been getting my hair cut my Michael for over 5 years now. Before that, I was happy with the lady who cut my hair, but she moved out of the area. So, I needed to find someone good to cut my hair. Fortunately, one of my models recommended I give Michael a try. Michael has a good aesthetic sense of what hair styles look best, so he has great ideas. But, he is always good about running a new idea past me before going forward. Michael is also detail-​oriented and is a perfectionist.
Finally, I should mention that Michael has also cut the hair for several other of my models, and he has managed to bring out their beauty further.
So, I know he does well with both men and women.

I have had my hair cut by Michael Joseph for all of my haircuts in 2010. He cuts my wife, son, mother and father-​in-​laws hair. He is a talented colorist. His finesse and skill are impeccable. I go for a very long time between haircuts because his haircuts look great the whole time. He is a genuinely warm individual. He has his own line of haircare products that are all natural and work very well.

I always know that when I see Michael Joseph I will not leave with anything less then perfect! No matter how many times I’ve changed my style over the years I’m always impressed with his ability to adapted to the newest trend. I look forward to seeing him because I always feel good and look good when I leave his salon.
I wouldn’t have anybody else cut my hair!

Michael Joseph has been cutting my hair for the past 2 years and he is amazing! I wanted to take my naturally strawberry blonde hair a few shades redder but was terrified of ending up with an orangey color. He gave me a gorgeous shade of strawberry red. It looks totally natural and I’ve received dozens of compliments.
My girlfriend also saw Michael for the first time last night. Her hair was a frizzy mess when she walked in. He colored and cut her hair into the most amazing transformation I have ever witnessed. She walked out a different woman!
He gets my highest recommendation!

I watched the reality TV series Blow Out with hair stylist Jonathan Antin and have always wanted to experience a «transformational» hair style like the ones I see on the show. I’ve tried «expert» stylists over the years and told them to do whatever they want, as long as they keep my length. Inevitably, I walk out looking exactly the same as when I went in.
So, when I had my first appointment with Michael, I gave him my «keep the length, but – seriously – do whatever you want» spiel and resigned myself to disappointment once again.
Well. Let me tell you. Michael is «The One» when it comes to hair. When he swiveled my chair around for the big reveal, I started giggling and clapping my hands together like a 5-​year-​old on Christmas morning. WHO KNEW THAT I HAD CURLY HAIR? There were actually ringlets! And all he had done was cut my hair!!!
I swear to you, as I walked home with the hugest grin on my face, a guy sitting outside of a coffee shop commented on my «beautiful» hair as I walked by! Then the next day at yoga, two women stopped me to say how much they liked my hair! I felt like I had been visited by the hair fairy and needed to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming.
Today, I just went back for my second cut and I love him as much as ever. I’m calling him the hair wizard. And I’m in denial that I might lose him when I move to San Diego in a few months… I wonder how much SD-​SF flights cost…

Simply put, Michael is the best stylist that I’ve ever been to… He was my stylist when I had lived in Menlo Park many years ago, and I have since moved to San Francisco. I still make the drive (to this day) down to Menlo Park to have Michael cut my hair. For anyone that truly appreciates a great-​looking haircut, and you’re in the Bay Area, then I would highly recommend Michael. He can tell you all of the awards he’s won when you get there!!!
P. S. My best friend’s wife, who apparently refuses to get a Unilocal account, also highly recommends him. :) He did her hair for her wedding, and it was beautiful!

The location was a little hard to find… but once I got there I was very satisfied.
He cut and designed my hair for a fashion show. Coming out of the store my hair was drastically different and I completely loved it. He was very professional… a bit cocky and possibly belongs in hollywood… but you will love your hair after he is done.

I met Michael 5+ years ago and needless to say, I have not seen anyone else since! Michael is professional, but fun, creative genius, ambitious man who is focused, honest and open, and most of all… a great father to his son, Jeremy. I admire that a lot about him. Not only is he a great hairstylist/​genius, he is a great friend to have so you can bet when you go see him, you will leave feeling as though you are worth more than any money in the world! With his 20+ years hands on experience combined with his outgoing personality that caters to his clients, he is THE BEST hairstylist I have worked with. I have never trusted anyone with my hair as I do now with Michael.
If you are looking for someone who is honest, fun and creative… look no further! Michael is the man and you better hurry and make an appointment with him before his schedule is booked! Every dollar will be well spent!

Michael Joseph Fitzpatrick is an incredibly talented hair stylist. He listens to what you want to do with your hair and then leaves you with results better than you expected! He gives wonderful guidance when asked but will always cut your hair they way you ultimately wanted it. I always walk out feeling like a million bucks!
He’s also terrific under pressure when doing hair for dozens of models within a very short time period and in very cramped quarters for fashion shows.
I highly, highly recommend him!
