Had such an amazing and cozy experience here. My boyfriend and I had great conversation with stylist Randy, who gave me a perfect haircut and was so sweet. Great coffee,... read more will definitely be back next time I'm here 🙂

  I loved the way that I immediately felt taken care of by Carla.  As a busy mom of 3 and business owner, I neglect myself like we all do, and... read more it was wonderful to be taken care of in a way that was just for me.  Carla's spa room is relaxing, and she is incredibly knowledgable about skin.  The microcurrent did something amazing to my face, I don't understand it, but I certainly can see the difference! Highly recommended!

  Carla is personable, listens to your particular concerns, and has been doing great facials and waxing on me for years. But..she has a new gadget , micro current, that I've... read more not seen at any fancy spa, and I travel a lot and love my spa days. This new facial  really does work on reddish areas and fine wrinkles. I'm 58, but my students don't know it. You need to try it more than once, but the difference is real, just saying...

  Ursula Gray is the best!  

I'm a mom, business owner and the lucky recipient of amazingly fast growing grey hairs. I'm so happy to have found Ursula! She is able... read more to seamlessly bring me back to life with fresh color and cuts, flexible time in her chair (I bring my laptop and work while she's coloring) and her personality makes me feel like I'm talking with an old friend.

Thank you for making me love getting my hair done, Ursula!

  Still great service. Love going to Carla--she knows exactly what my skin needs and I walk out feeling and looking great. I like that she brings in new products to... read more try (and will kindly still order an old favorite) and has brought in new services (micro current, microdermabrasion).  So whether you are into regular maintenance (waxing--I love the work she does on my brows) or need a Treat Yo Self day (as often as I can manage/justify) you owe it to yourself to book some time with Carla!

  My first ever facial treatment and I had the Signature Facial done. Carla has a great positive energy and made me feel comfortable with her knowledge of the products and... read more tools used. I didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised by the microdermabrasion and extraction process. Her masques and hydrating products were just what I needed from being super sun exposed on a recent trip to Hawaii. She worked out a couple tense spots around my neck and lats with her massage techniques too! Overall, I highly recommend getting a treatment from her, or even gifting it for someone! Her professional, knowledgeable, and positive personality made me book my next appointment immediately after my session!

  Love love love Noe Valley Spa!  Can't say enough about everyone who works here - such an amazing group of people.  Carla is so fun and I can't live without... read more her facials for very long.  She transforms my face and her products are top notch.  Thank you Carla!

  This review is for Carla Martino Skincare. I discovered Carla while doing a search for microcurrent facials and I'm so glad I did! The microcurrent is great - I did... read more a series of ten and am now on the once-a-month maintenance facial plan. But what's even better is Carla's passion for helping you achieve great skin. I love her honesty - I feel like everything she says and does is to help your skin look good and stay healthy, not to sell services you don't need. One other thing - I have oily skin prone to blackouts, so extractions are a must. Carla won't hesitate to dig in and clear you out!

  This review is long overdue. My hair was a wirey mess and then I found Randy! He gave me a keratin treatment that transformed my hair. I am still in... read more awe. In addition to what he did for my hair, he was super friendly and fun to talk to. I will definitely return and highly recommend him!! The salon also has a chill and friendly vibe.

  5 stars aren't enough to adequately express how fabulous the experience of a facial by Carla is. One session transformed my skin from dull and lifeless to glowing. I loved... read more being in her spa...the music, lighting, everything was beyond relaxing. Especially the massage that was part of the Signature Facial. It was all so relaxing yet invigorating and i felt as though i had been on vacation when i left. It changed my entire attitude about myself and i am going to return at least once a month. This experience was thoroughly enjoyable and well worth the money.

  Going to  see Carla at the Noe Valley Salon for a facial has always been a pleasure. The salon is spotless. She is a top professional, educating herself about the... read more newest products and procedures. She is careful about the history of my allergies and has taken careful notes to tailor the facials to what I need. She is also funny and very personable. Her neck massages are fantastic!
I think I have been going to Carla and her salon in Noe Valley for about 10 years. Luckily parking is good near her salon.  I recommend her highly!

  Jason is the ONLY person I would ever let color and cut my hair! And every time I have my hair colored, cut, or touched-up by him people comment on... read more it for weeks after. I have very thick, kinky/curly, long hair and somehow he manages to make it look soft, flow-y, incredible. I've been going to Jason for over 15 years and he's only getting more talented at what he does. I am a devoted client, and love spending time in the chair at NVS because he's such a wonderful, caring human being. He also gives one of the best hand massages and shampoos I've ever had.

  Randy is the BEST. I wish I could do 6 stars! I could not recommend him more highly.

I've been getting Brazilian Blowouts for over 10 years, and I can... read more confidently say that Randy is the most talented hair stylist I've seen. My hair looks fabulous when I leave and stays nice for months after.

On top of that, he's SO wonderful to talk with and the salon itself is a relaxing oasis where time flies.

If you're considering getting a Brazilian Blowout or a new stylist, go to Randy!!! A+++ experience every time.

  Ursula is the best, there really isn't much more that needs saying.

The salon has a nice, modern vibe to it. It's located a few blocks up from the hustle and... read more bustle of 24th in Noe, so parking isn't much of an issue and when done you can pop down to 24th for lunch or some shopping.

  Ngoc is the bomb. I've been going to him for years in his various locations. If you're looking for precision and perfection in cut and color, ask for Ngoc. He's... read more the best in the area for short cuts. NVS is a great salon, too, in a great location, with a great team. I'm super happy coming here.

  I can't speak about anyone but Carla, but I can go on and on and on about how much I love Carla.

It all started back in 2004 or so. I... read more desperately needed to deal with my eyebrows. I didn't know where to turn, so I randomly picked a place close by. That place: NVS.

Carla took one look at my eyebrows and knew exactly what she needed to do. The rest is history.

Carla has continued to deal with my eyebrows, but she earned my trust enough to start giving me facials. Many times a year, I surrender myself to her expertise while she digs the most horrible things out of my face. For a few months after I see Carla, my face looks like that of a young Cindy Crawford or Grace Jones. It's incredible. Also, though: she's super nice and she makes me laugh.

No matter what, I'll never stop going to Carla. Even if she tries to get out of the business or something, I'll track her down and insist she dig more junk out of my face. She'll be doing facials on my children and their children and their children.

(but not any other children, because children don't need facials.)

  JASON is an amazingly talented stylist whose artistry and gifted eye for design are clearly evident in his top notch hairstyles which have graced a large range of clients from... read more NY fashion week models to... basic Bay Area locals like me. I am an avid devotee of Jason who is not only an absolutely outstanding colorist but a wonderfully genuine and admirable human being. If only I had a dollar for every time someone's stopped me to ask who does my hair...

  I found Carla on Yelp and decided to go hear after reading the great reviews about facials. She lived up to her rating! I got the deluxe signature facial: so... read more relaxing and so refreshing. You can book online; the system is super easy to use. Carla makes you feel feel welcome immediately and I highly recommend booking your next facial with her. Go deluxe and treat yourself, you won't regret it.

  Carla Martino is absolutely AMAZING! I am a skincare junkie and she blew me away with her service and knowledge! I had extractions and microcurrent. She uses the latest technology... read more and best machine for her microcurrent. I got a beyond great result from her treatment. The next time I am in San Francisco I will be going back!

  Carla is fantastic!  I've had two facials and am starting to really see some progress with my skin.  I can't say thank you enough!
