I went to Acme based on these raving reviews and had highlights and a hair cut. The highlights were good -- and the cut OK. The stylists are a bit older here -- and must be expe...

Amazing hair! 6/24/2010

Carol is fantastic. I'm fairly picky when it comes to my hair - and I had a HORRIBLE haircut when I first moved to the city. Carol fixed it and suggested what was best for me in order to achieve the look I wanted. She's always honest and if you follow her advice, you will absolutely be pleased! The salon is very cute and clean. The products they use are high-end (they have Bumble & Bumble which I love). Overall, fab place to get your hair done! more

Best place to get nice massage 10/12/2009

If you want real massage "Acme Head and Body"is the best place that keeps all our stress and tensions away. The service provided here was excellent and also fine qualities of products are used here. The massage here gives a lot of relief. I went to this place along with my two friends. They also felt very satisfied and became a fan of this service. Among all the massages here I like the head massage here. Before going to this place I have a lot of problems and suffered with a lot of tensions. After getting the head massage here I got a lot of relief. Really the massage here was awesome. more

Nice plac to get pampered 4/29/2009

The place was very cozy and relaxing. I like the massage where they put some kind of smooth stones from your nape all the way down to your lower back while greeting massaged from the sides of the head. Pros: Was a day of peace Cons: A good hole in the credit card :) more

PRESTON at ACME Head and Body Salon 11/25/2008

When it comes to hair and beauty, PRESTON at Acme is the perfectly balanced professional. He is extremely knowledgeable, but not at all pushy; is a good listener, but will also offer his opinion if asked; he is warm and kind, but also has a silly/sassy side as well; he just seems to be a lovely all around person. PRESTON listened to my concerns/desires/etc.. about my hair (coming off a horrible experience at another salon), did his thing, and I left an hour and a half later feeling like a new person. And it didn't stop there - I have been loving my new cut for 2 months now. I'm not overly dramatic about my hair - I've had a couple sub par cuts in my day and whatever, it grows back, but when you do have a great cut it can transform your whole attitude/ outlook. So, If you want to have a great experience with a talented professional that you can trust to share in your 'vision' give PRESTON a visit and I know you'll leave his salon happy... Pros: Preston, service, evening appointments Cons: ?? more

Best Haircut Ever ... 10/2/2008

I live in San Jose and just happened to stop by Acme, by chance. It is an amazing and unbelievable treat to have a hair cut with Carol Anderberg at the Acme Salon. It is the first time in a long time that a hair dresser actually did what I wanted, and not what she is used to do. I am very happy with Carol and love the Salon?s atmosphere. I highly recommend it to everyone, no matter how simple or sophisticated your taste may be. 5 ***** for Carol. more

Great with color and fine hair 9/25/2008

I have been regularly going to Acme since it opened a few years ago. The service is fabulous, the surroundings are nice and very clean, the people are engaging and friendly. I have never had a ""bad color day"" after having my hair done by Dennis at the salon, not to mention he gives the best haircut I have ever had. He knows his stuff, he's fun, engaging, professional and talented, to say the least. I work in a courtroom in a Bay Area county and I was subbing for another colleague. The judge, who I know very well, put her hand over the microphone, asked me to come over to her, and said ""your hair looks fabulous,"" then we continued on with what we were doing. If I can stop a court proceeding with my lovely locks, it makes me very confident that my hair looks as fabulous as it feels. Pros: Professionalism, current in trends, great location, great product, wonderful service Cons: Sometimes hard to get a last-minute appointment because they are busy more

Wonderful salon. Prestin is awesome 8/31/2008

I've been living in the area for only a few months (a Washington DC transplant) and dreaded to undergo the search for a new salon but I found exactly what I was looking for with Acme. Pros: Awesome environment. Chill people. Great music. Cons: none. more

Best haircut of my life! 8/21/2008

""I moved here from Los Angeles (land of great hair) to have my hair ruined by inept stylists over and over. After 1.5 years of growing out the damage (flying back to LA for the repair jobs) it was clear I needed to try another local out. Pros: Rock Star hair! more

Talented hair stylist 6/17/2008

Dennis has been styling my hair for over 10 years and I drive from San Jose just for him to do my hair. The color is great and he doesn't fix the same style repeatedly. He gets really excited about creating a new look. He's also a great cook and will share recipes. more

Bravo to Acme! 6/5/2008

My only hesitation in writing a review of Acme is that I won't be able to get an appointment! This is a wonderful, down to earth salon with talented hair dressers that have great skills. The hair products are luxurious as is the service and without the overtly hipster vibe that some hair salons embrace. Don't get me wrong: Acme is absolutely HIP, but it is not a scene. If you want her hair cut and/or colored RIGHT (and who doesn't?) go to Acme. Just please let me still be able to get an appointment! Pros: parking lot across the street, great people, fast, efficient and skilled more

great deal/discount 5/29/2008

Recently went to Acme and met with KImberly. She is a nice gal and talented. My friend suggested that i see her and get a new do. I said ok and gave it a try and love my hair.

My friend said to go to Kimberly's website -- KimberlyG . com and look for the ""discount for Citysearch reviews"". I thnk my co-workers will soon follow.. Pros: Friendly; Review Discount; Late night appts Cons: Parking more

Kimberly is the best!!!!! 5/27/2008

Kimberly is an amazing stylist!! My main concern is my color and what she does with it is unbelievable. Her cuts are second to none. At least once a week I get compliments on my hair!!! The salon is great but the only reason I go there is because of her. When you make an appointment be sure and do it in advance as she may be booked for a couple of weeks but believe me when I tell you it is worth the wait !!!!!!!!!!! Pros: Kimberly!! more

LINDSAY IS THE BEST! 5/22/2008

I got my haircut by Lindsay a while ago and she is the best! My hair was down to my waist and I was ready for a change. Lindsay made me feel comfortable and confident in my decision to cut my long hair. I ended up cutting off 18 inches and was so happy with the turn-out. She cut my hair exactly how I wanted it. I brought in a picture of the haircut I wanted and she did it perfectly! II was so nervous but I put my hair in her hands and she did a great job! On top of that, she was reassuring, fun-spirited, and kind. Since then, my mom, dad, and sister have all gone to see her! I recommend her to any one who needs a hair makeover! Pros: stylist, atmosphere, everything! Cons: absolutely nothing! more

Kimberly G is the best!!!! 3/26/2008

I have been to many of the top salons in San Francisco over the past 4 years (77 Maiden Lane, Cowboys and Angels, and Cinta to name a few...) searching for a stylist who I like that can both cut and color hair. It's been a long, frustrating search but I've finally found her...Kimberly G at Acme Head and Body!! I'm a blonde and constantly on the hunt for the perfect shade of white blonde that's not too yellow or ashy. For some reason every place I've been has messed up my color (always too natural, mousey, or yellow) but Kimberly totally understood me and GOT THE COLOR RIGHT! Not only that, she has a super cool personality (she's very easy to talk to and SO knowledgeable) and my hair cut rocked too! I recommend her to anyone who is fed up with the ""top"" San Francisco salons and wants to finally have their hair done right! more

Kimberly....What an AMAZING Artist....I'm a customer for life! 3/15/2008

Kimberly cut and styled my hair for the first time Thursday (3-13-08). I have just moved to SF from the East coast and had no idea where to go to get my hair done. To say I have problem hair is an understatement. I have thick natural curls that are such a problem to control. I went to Kimberly with my friends suggestion (and wonderful praises), as she has been seeing Kim for a year or so now. I went in with ideas of what I wanted to leave with, I had hopes of getting a good cut that I will be able to style myself once I go home. I had zero hopes that she would be able to style my hair like I wanted, no one has ever been able to. Kim amazed me. She not only cut my hair just as I asked of her she was able to style my hair like never before. Better than my highest hopes. I am THRILLED with Kim. I would, and will, recommend her to everyone I know. And to top it off she is a wonderful personality who listens to you and really cares about you as her client. No rushing to get to the next client. She spent so much time with me and really made me happier with my hair than I think I've ever been. Thank you Kimberly!! YOU ROCK Pros: Great service, nice atmosphere, excellent skills more

Kimberly G. is great 2/28/2008

I have very thick, wavy, coarse hair. Kimberly is the first stylist who actually gets it. I love that I can schedule an appointment for a full cut or just to have my hair thinned. Yesterday, Kimberly colored my hair, which has been going gray for about five years. Kimberly's color work is fabulous--she worked with the gray to have it act as highlights. I've gotten nothing but compliments on the color. I love it! Thank you Kimberly. more

Holly Howard is the best in the west! 2/3/2008

When I moved to San Francisco from the east coast, I did so with excitement, but also a pang of regret that I had to leave my hair stylist of many years. She and I had bonded as I sat in her chair over so many things, and she consistently gave me the best looking hair I had ever known. So needless to say I was a bit apprehensive about finding a good stylist here. So I went online to find out what kind of experiences other people were having with their stylists. I found Holly on CitySearch, and everyone seemed to really like her. I made my appointment online ? so easy! Pros: friendly, great listener, personable, talented more
