Twenty Four Twelve Fillmore – A Hair Studio

I’ve been going to 2412 since it opened– it’s the absolute BEST salon in town! Personal attention and precision cuts. I leave 2412 with gorgeous hair! (High compliments from someone with thick, unruly hair, cowlicks and a flat head…)

I went through a period where I could not, for the life of me, find a hairdresser I loved. Finding a good hairdresser is akin to finding a good mechanic or a decent man (or woman). It is the search of a lifetime and once you find him/​her you can’t imagine life without them. I have definitely gone through a few in my lifetime — a friend of my mom’s (say no more), one that a co-​worker recommended (I ended up with a fried mullet and ran out of there with a color-​streaked towel still around my head only to end up in the bathroom of a Chinese restaurant pulling out hunks of hair while crying into the sink) and various others not worth mentioning. But several years ago my fashion-​forward sis recommended Monica (formerly at Dava Dava). After my first haircut/​highlight appointment I was committed for life. Monica is a stylist at 2412 Fillmore — a really cute and friendly hair studio in the middle of all the good stuff on Fillmore. Monica is the BEST colorist (I have gotten so many compliments on my highlights) and she wields scissors like they’re natural extensions of her hands. But the greatest thing about Monica is that she LISTENS. She wants what YOU think is best for you. And you’re involved in the process from consult to chair swivel finale. She offers her professional opinions without forcing them on you. Once you go to Monica, you really won’t ever want to go anywhere else. And, I should know, now that I’m three for three (see review on Hower, and as for my BF — 5 stars).
