Ringolevio

Ringolevio began on Union Street in San Francisco in 1987. The salon says it has served many thousands of clients who live in the city and across the Bay Area, and it describes its goal as meeting hair care needs with professionals who provide the best possible services.

The salon occupies a large flat from the early 1900s, which it describes as beautiful and elegant. Clients book through the salon's MindBody page, and some stylists take reservations through the MindBody business page instead of the salon's own site.

The menu is built around hair. Women's cuts include bobs, layers and pixie cuts, men's cuts include crew cuts and fades, and color work includes highlights and balayage. Extensions can be applied by bonding, tape-ins, clip-ins or fusion, in synthetic or natural human hair.

Straightening is a major offering. Keratin smoothing is meant to ease frizzy hair and lasts several weeks depending on hair type and upkeep. Japanese hair straightening permanently straightens curly or wavy hair by restructuring the hair bonds, and it requires a consultation before booking.

The team places weight on continuing education and on learning from one another.
