Yelp Has a Suck Ass Review System

Yelp has filtered 2 of my longest returning clients reviews and 1 from a new client after his second visit.  The review process is not very reliable.  So here are the reviews that were filtered for some strange reason!

I never thought I would be one of those people who say, "I only trust my hair to..." until I started going to Mark.

The best hair-cutting experiences I've had in my life! I walked into Mark's gorgeous space with 3 months outgrown hair and just let him cut my hair. First off, the space feels private and is spacious and is filled with Art. You'll get right away why people call it a sanctuary. I was amazed what a true wizard Mark is with those scissors, and how he gets a vision of what exactly your hair needs to look good every day.
I've been there for a second hair cut and had the same outstanding experience. Thank you Mark, I'll be back whenever I am in San Francisco.

If you want it done right, go to Mark.

It's really that simple.  But I'll elaborate.  I've been going to Mark for years.  But prior to him I had bad haircut after bad haircut.  I have wavy hair.  which is the worst.  not straight and not curly.  This netherworld of annoyance.  I never thought i could have a cut where I didn't have to do anything to it.  Until I met Mark.  It's easy to make a client look good when they leave the salon.  It's hard to make a client look good each and every day between cuts.  And that's what Mark does.  He, unlike many stylists out there, actually knows how to cut hair.  And well!  Mark knows my hair, how it will behave and what to do with it.  I literally do not style my hair and it's perfect. I take a shower and just leave it wet.  I sleep on it wet.  Or I won't wash it for days.  Of course it's a little different every time.  That's just the nature of hair.  But I'm in love with it each time. :)  I have super long wavy hair and a ton of layers.  No one does layers like him.  I've had strangers comment on the layers in my hair.  My friends say I have mermaid hair.  The other fantastic thing about Mark is that he's realistic.  He'll tell you if the cut you want is not going to work on you.  I mean, he can cut anything.  but he'll tell you if you do or don't have the type of hair that's going to maintain it.  My advice... just let him work his magic.

here's a sweet closing story to my review...
Directly after my most recent appointment, I had a date.  Mark, the gentleman that he is, walks me to my date's car as he drove up, introduced himself, etc.  All night my date kept staring at me saying "fuck yeah, Mark,"  "wow, Mark," "Mark's the man".  Yay, Mark. :)

Mark has been cutting my hair for over a decade now ever since my (new at the time) wife told me I had to get a real haircut.  And she was totally right.  Every haircut Mark has given me has been excellent.  After the last one I got two prolonged compliments from two friends with 24 hours -- which is always nice.

I know a lot of guys think a $20 haircut at Supercuts is fine.  And some people can't afford I high quality cut.  So maybe Mark isn't for you.  But if you want a consistently great haircut by someone who understand how to personalize a cut for you, then Mark has my strongest recommendation.
