EXCELLENT Based on 145 reviews Lucy MendonçàMay 12, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had my first time appointment with Jaretta and it was outstanding. Not only she is excellent at her job but her personality lights up the room. I’m so glad that I finally found someone who understands what I needed and I will be definitely be coming back. Thank you!! Suzanne Van ArsdaleMay 2, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm so happy with my wavy/curly cut by Jaretta! This was my first dry cut, and the end result was so much better than wet cuts with a blowout that I've had in the past. My hair has never been this curly and easy to style after a cut. Jaretta was a dream hairstylist: friendly, checking in and keeping open communication about what I wanted from the cut, making sure the cut actually fit my needs (as a low-maintenance, air-dry and no or minimal product hair person), and answering questions and sharing information about how I could use product or style my hair if I wanted to (in an accessible and not at all pushy way). Finally, a hairstylist that I'm excited to return to! Katty CseteApril 24, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just had my first Deva cut by Arlevia and it was such an amazing experience. I have been struggling with my curls my whole life and she is the first hair stylist to actually teach me about my curls and give me a hair cut specific to encourage my curls (versus blow drying at the end). I’ve never seen my hair so curly and happy, I love it so much!! Kendall, at the front, was also so friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in and throughout my appointment. I can’t recommend this salon enough!! Kimberly JonesApril 17, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The staff at Madu are so great. They came to my daughter’s rescue for an extreme hair emergency. I was impressed that she was able to get in at the last min and was given a lot of advice and support during a very hard time. For a teenager that is especially appreciated. Cait AguirreApril 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best place in SF for curly cuts and natural hair consultations. Really friendly staff, easy to book online, wide range of price options depending on stylist. I started going about two years ago and it's made dealing with getting my hair cut so much easier. 2025 update: came back to Madusalon after moving away from the city for a couple years. Still the best place for curls and overall hair health maintenance! The owner, Marie, runs a great business and the entire salon has a really nice approach. They’re in a new location so don’t go to Divis. I see Arlevia specifically and she’s fantastic. Always very thoughtful, communicative, listens and delivers exactly what you agree to. She’s super talented with color and does a great method for healthy hair growth. She’s also the first stylist I’ve had who truly doesn’t take a ton off when you say only a trim. She seems like a kind and compassionate human in general which makes the experience all the better. I always feel great after our appointments. Highly recommend!

I’m a curly girl who has spent the greater part of my life longing for straight hair and doing everything to flatten my curls; blow drying, chemically straightening, heat straightening, everything. I finally decided to treat my curls with the respect they deserve and I booked my first appointment at a curly salon and I will never look back. Everyone at Madusalon is so nice and fun and funny and warm. Jaretta took the time to learn about my relationship with my hair and what I wanted to change about it; she taught me things I never knew about my curls and recommended products and techniques that will help achieve the look I want. I left feeling taken care of and educated on how to treat my curls right! Months later my curls are the happiest and healthiest they’ve ever been and I’m about to book my next appointment. Thank you Jaretta and Madusalon! Regina Arvon-ChandlerFebruary 26, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As always, wonderful. They take excellent care of my hair and I learn something new every time I have an appointment. Marie is a master and a wizard! She creates magic everyday! Stephanie JamesonFebruary 23, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I scheduled a double appointment with Jaretta. We came in looking rough and left looking like a couple of A list celebreties. Jaretta is such a warm, wonderful person and was amazing at listening to what we wanted, then making it reality. She is an amazing Hair Enchantress ✨️🧝♂️✨️(sorry for calling you the Hair Witch!!! 🫣) Patricia BishopJanuary 31, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. TLDR: if you are in need of a curly hair specialist and want to feel confident in your curly crown, come here and be ready to have fun. You will receive a wonderful hair treatment, get the products you need to stay cute, AND at a fair price. The whole story: Madusalon is THE BEST salon experience I have ever had. In my *cough* almost 40yrs of life, I have never felt more welcome and cared for with my thick curly hair. Jaretta and the Masusalon staff were extremely welcoming, kind and super efficient! There is a level of respect and kindness that fills the room and they are very good at their jobs. Jaretta took care of my sad unkempt hair after I had my second kiddo. It was the pick up I needed to feel like myself again. I used to feel embarrassed to get haircuts because my hair is very thick, but they made sure I felt confident and proud to have the hair I have. It made me feel comfortable and good which is what I want in a hair experience. She taught me how to care for my hair, she listened to my needs for it to be low maintenance but cute. She took into account the shape of my face and how often I should come in to touch it up. She even had me take pictures of the products she used so I know what to use at home. There is a level of knowledge and attitude of no gate keeping information to help others. Especially us curly girlies. They use products that are ethically made and priced. I would pay extra just to hang with this crew. Thank you Madusalon, you have a customer for life and will bring my two curly haired daughters when it's their time. ❤️ Ritika ShrivastavaDecember 31, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
