Welcome to Hairchitect Barber Shop & Lounge, Where San Francisco Style Takes Shape
Our customers speak for us.
From the moment I walked into the salon, I felt comfortable. It has a cool, artistic vibe. And Emiliano is just the best! He's warm, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. He took the time to really understand my hair (curly hair, which can be tricky!), showed me examples of his work, and was so attentive to my feedback. He made sure I loved the result, and I do! It's the best haircut I've had in a long time. I can't recommend Emiliano enough!
Jonny has been my go-to hairdresser/ barber for over three years, and I've never been disappointed. His attention to detail is impressive and I’ve always liked how he’s not afraid to suggest new looks/ hairstyles!
But what truly sets Jonny apart is his exceptional service and dedication to building personal relationships with his clients. When I got married, Jonny went above and beyond by styling my hair on the morning of my civil marriage ceremony and finding me a reliable barbershop in Beirut for my wedding.
I'm delighted to see Jonny take the next step with his new barbershop, Hairchitect. The shop has a fantastic atmosphere, and his team provides the same level of excellence that Jonny has always delivered. If you're looking for a top-notch barbershop experience, look no further than Jonny and his team.
I’d recommend treating yourself to a haircut and a shave (and a beer)!
Just had an amazing haircut with Emiliano and I couldn’t be happier! He did a fantastic job – super professional, precise, and really took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. He caters to all needs and makes sure you leave feeling your best.
On top of that, the chat was great – friendly, fun, and made the whole experience even better. What's really cool is that he got me a few beers too! You can even choose whiskey but I took it slow.
Highly recommend Emiliano if you’re looking for top-notch skills and a genuinely enjoyable appointment. Will definitely be back!
Easily the best haircut in SF — hands down. Hairchitect is that rare combo of precision, style, and chill vibes all in one spot. Every cut feels intentional and tailored — they really take the time to understand what you’re going for and elevate it. Whether you’re looking for a sharp fade, a clean trim, or something more styled, this place delivers every time. Can’t recommend it enough if you care about your hair and want it done right. Total game changer.
Jonny is the best barber, period. Been getting cuts from him since a few months before he opened Hairchitect.
I have fine thinning hair, which is probably more challenging than thicker hair for average barbers to make look good. So I used to wear it very short for years because it was safer. Fortunately, Jonny knows what's up, and I've been progressively growing it out. He also dialed my short beard and taught me how to maintain it. I don't think I really gave him specific directions, he just figured out my hair. Hairchitect indeed!
Before my wedding haircut appointment, he had the presence of mind to ask for a picture of my outfit to make sure the cut would match. Needless to say, my wife said "yes".
To top it off, he's super friendly and down-to-earth, and the vibe of the shop is sweet -- music, beverages (really good espresso among others), lounge area.
PS if you hear him saying "fire" quietly as he's making the finishing touches/inspecting, it's not because he's being overconfident...it's because he is 100% correct that you now have an awesome haircut.
