Taylor Monroe is a hair salon on Fillmore Street, operating there since 2010. It began under the Oxenrose name, and Benji Pow took over the business in 2019. The salon specializes in gray blending and in color for dark and Asian hair, aiming for natural results that are easy to maintain. Guests arrive from around the Bay Area, among them people from Daly City, Sausalito, Oakland, Berkeley and Walnut Creek, most often for gray blending or dark-hair color.
A visit usually begins with a free 15-minute consultation, which new clients are encouraged to book first. For gray blending, pricing is quoted after the consultation and the exact plan is confirmed then. Plans are sold by estimated number of sessions, from one session up to three to five sessions. Clients can also choose the Silver Standard service, an all-inclusive gray blending option with one specialist that includes a personalized consultation, a custom formula, and maintenance color and haircare. Gray blending can be matched to any haircolor and any skin tone, and it can be done with demi-permanent color or custom-mixed formulas placed to soften the grow-out line. The salon says most gray blending clients go three to six months between appointments, rather than four to six weeks.
Stylists can combine it with teasy-lights, babylights, tip-outs, root shadows and air-touch, and add traditional foils where needed. To help balayage last longer, the salon suggests a sulfate-free shampoo along with regular deep conditioning. Pricing for color and chemical services can depend on hair length, density and formula; the team goes over these costs at the consultation and again before checkout.
Pricing is set by the time and product each service requires, with gratuity factored in, and the salon does not accept tips. Take-home haircolor kits are available, and the team says it regularly attends workshops and training sessions. Street parking near the salon is limited to two hours, and clients can note accessibility needs when they book.
The salon says its hair care approach puts hair health first, using high-quality products and techniques.
The salon describes its space as welcoming and accessible.
