"I love this place. The staff is talented. I have been going to the same stylist for over 20 years!"

"Moved back to SF 7 yrs ago, for years I could not find a person who knew how to cut thick wavy hair. I did however find shops in SF that charged a fortune and found it strange the stylists would post their hobbies and not how many years experience they had cutting hair ( I want a haircut not a dating app sigh) I googled Panache on Telegraph a place where I went as a college student. I was guided to J. Brooker Studio where some Panache hairstylists still are. I read some yelp reviews and made my appointment with Nishan. My hair finally came out how I wanted it for a reasonable price. I wish I did this years ago!"

"Elena was so great! She really listened to what I wanted from my hair and recommended a cut to achieve that. We worked through the reference photos I brought in and the final cut definitely reflects what I wanted. I really appreciated her taking the time to help me understand my hair and what effect the cut would achieve. I am so happy with the results, thank you Elena!"

"Olga is absolutely amazing! I wanted to go red with no bleach (I originally had light brown hair with some bleach highlights) and she made sure she got every part of my hair while complimenting me throughout. Her and the receptionist made my experience of dying my hair a bright color for the first time amazing. I have gotten SO many compliments on my hair because of ho well done Olga did the color. The products they used are amazing and left my hair shiny and smooth for 4 days after the appointment. Thank you so much! You guys deserve all the hype"

"Wonderful salon. They carry an amazing hair line in the shop as well. I just love my new salon. Marisa serviced my hair and was very knowledgeable about products and color choices. She took her time and the results were beautiful! Will definitely be making my next appointment soon with her!"
