Maneframe

For many years, getting a haircut was a task on my to-​do list. However, ever since discovering Gary and his Mane Frame team some 10+ years ago, it is now like planning a visit with cherished friends in which I know I will leave with a smile on my face, some new wisdom and/​or jokes, and oh yes, by the way, an awesome looking ‘do! All that at pricing that is WAY more than reasonable. If I could count the number of times people have stopped to ask me where I get my hair done… well, you know! Don’t hesitate — DO THIS!

Eli is the man! What I like most about his haircuts is the way the hair grows out really nicely so that after a few weeks it still looks great. Prior to Eli, I’ve always been nomadic with regard to my hair and different businesses – not anymore!

I’ve been seeing Eli for a few months now and it’s always been great! I’ve been very impressed with the care and attention to detail Eli takes while cutting my hair. He’s also easy to talk to and wants to make sure your experience is as positive as possible. Highly recommend seeing Eli!

Gary is the man! He’s been my guy for years. Great line up, great prices, and great company. What else can you ask for.

I would have preferred to first send an email to business owners but I was not able to find the relevant contact information.
I have been to this salon at least once before for a hair trim and the experience was positive. I scheduled the next appointment for May 14, 2016 at 12:15pm for the same service but with the different stylist (the previous one was unavailable).
For whatever reason, the new person (older male with colored reddish hair) proceeded to persistently ask me questions as to why the hair closer to the front of my face is shorter than the hair at the back (I am a female with long hair). I have tried (at least twice) to explain that it could be because I use the curling iron for portions of my hair and that it was not «by design /​haircut» that it ended up being shorter. I explained that I need a simple trim /​cut and that this salon was able to previously help me with the same service in the past. The person (rather impolitely) continued questioning me re my hair length culminating with the statement that my hair looked «riduculous» and the he is not going to do the job for me and that I should go elsewhere (accompanied by somewhat theatrical gesticulation).
I understand that anyone can be refused service but I would like to emphasize that I was polite and the hairdresser was not. One can simply say «Sorry, I don’t think I can help you, etc.». Instead, I was practically humiliated in front of other customers and frankly, such an attitude kinda ruined my day. I was in two minds whether I should be giving this review on Unilocal but really I think that the owners and clients should know. This is not the way to treat customers.
I went to another salon later in the day who were happy to help me right away. I will certainly never go back to Maneframe and that is thanks to the person that I had a misfortune to deal with today. Happy to share photos of my «riduculous» hair.

I have been getting my hair cut by Eli for close to a year now and it’s the easiest decision to keep coming back. He not only gives me a great cut every time he takes care of his customers extremely well. He will always shampoo my hair which feels great and take his time with my cut. I have never had a barber care so much about the final product. Highly recommended.

I saw Gary about a month ago, and he did a great job! My last haircut was at Metro on Bush, and the barber there butchered my hair. Gary noticed the mistakes right away, and gave me a more even, professional cut, for less than the last 4 places I went to. He’s been doing this for over 20 years, and it shows. Plus, he is very personable. I’m not the type to chat with the barber much, but Gary is very easy going, so conversing with him wasn’t nearly as awkward as normal.

My work peer mentioned about this place, and Jerry cut my hair. I liked his way asking what I really wanted to achieve and gave me both solutions and suggestions. I wanted to have a good volume because my hairs becomes dull in the mid-​day, and Jerry cut to create the volume that lasted a few months! My other hair stylist who is in local and did the color also gave me a hair cut that was inclusive in the price. I sensed she didn’t understand my request and have the skill to create the volume like Jerry did, and my hair became flat.
Long story short, I need to drive from South Bay to San Francisco to see Jerry that is well worth to me!

Have been going to them for over 8 years and they are always giving me a great cut at a great price. I have in particular used Gary and Jerry as well as a few others but they are all really quality folks. The store location is extremely easy (I generally find parking in the surrounding meters, esp on Pine). Highly recommended.

The Salon is great! Gary is super! He is great with highlights and cut! It’s also always fun to see him … I make the trek from the East Bay! Can’t find anyone that comes close to his skill and niceness! He is very fair with what he charges as well! Can’t say enough good stuff!

Gary and Jerry are the very best in San Francisco. I’ve been going there for years — and I love that Gary listens to what you want. You leave there with the cut that you wanted — not that he wanted! I’ve been going to them for years, and it’s remarkable in that I actually drive up from the Peninsula to go there — passing hundreds of other hairdressers on the way.

Safe to say you’re noticing a trend with these reviews – Eli is the best!
I started going to Eli 18 months ago and will continue to. He’s consistent, courteous, and collaborative. Whether you’re aiming for a new look or the exact same cut, Eli will deliver! You can expect several compliments on the days following your appointment.
Aside from the haircut, he’s very easy to talk to and super friendly – all around makes for a positive experience. Go see Eli!

The Maneframe is the best hair salon in the city.
I see Gary and he’s great, best prices, best color and design. It’s fun to be There! Gary and Jerry are both super and superior people.
Give yourself a treat and go there! They are the best in every Way…

So I came across this place randomly when I needed a haircut hoping for a walk-​in appointment and was lucky enough to be helped by Eli. Never regretted my choice since. Eli is great! He is always friendly, helpful and candid if you want advice on what to do with your hair. I always get compliments on my hair when I have a fresh hair cut and its all Eli! Great work.

Eli’s great! Listens to how you’d like your hair cut and does a fantastic job every time. Super friendly and always a fun chat!

I recommend Maneframe. Eli is a great hair stylist. I have been going to Eli for 2 years and he does a great job. He is pleasant to converse with while he cuts and styles your hair. Very affordable too! Thank you, Eli!

I’ve been going to Gary Beach for over 20 years and he gives me a great cut every time. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!

After a few year hiatus I decided to once again try Maneframe, the friendly local hair salon. Yeah that was a good decision.
Eli warmly received me, thoughtfully walked through what I’ve liked and disliked about previous haircuts, and then delivered. My wife gave the cut a thumbs up.
After the second cut I sat down at my boss’ desk and he specifically called out my «sharp haircut.» Hell yeah!

Eli is the absolute best!
I went to Eli for about a year and he did an amazing job. He helped me transform my shoulder length hair into an awesome undercut. He is a very talented stylist who always listened to what I wanted and made great recommendations.
Beyond the haircut he is a awesome person as well, easy to talk to and I always enjoyed going to my appointments. He is a great friend and even though I moved across the country I will always stop in to see him when I pass through SF! I highly recommend Eli!

Eli is amazing! He is such a doll and truly listens to his clients wants and needs. I have gone to him about 4 times now and I am always thrilled with the results! Book an appointment with Eli ASAP! You will be so happy you did!
