Testimonials
“I was looking for a new stylist because I didn’t feel like my previous one was listening to me. Adrienne was amazing, she listened to what I wanted and I walked out of the salon with exactly what I asked for — and my hair looks amazing!”
”
“I absolutely love my NEW hair style. I knew that if I’d like a big change I need to go to someone great. And I did! So happy I found Adrienne. She is super nice and definite knows what she is doing. She’s got about 20 (!!) years of experience. And you can tell by the outcome.”
“The service that Adrienne provides is a rare and beautiful thing compared to the vast sea of overpriced, mediocre haircuts in San Francisco. She is efficient, consistent and she expertly cajoles my thick, wavy two heads worth of hair into long, seamless and professional layers. Colorbox Salon as a whole is fully inviting and unpretentious and I look forward to every visit”
“This was the first time that I met with Adrienne - even talked to her. She was great - i showed her what i wanted and mentioned that I was a bit nervous. She talked me through what she was thinking and why - example - lets not fry your hair. (Thank you!)
I’ve already told my friends about her - she is simply a delight to have work on your hair and hang out for those three hours that it takes to get that bad boy taken care of.
i’m slightly obsessed”

Education and Experience
I've been trained at Vidal Sassoon Academy, Carlton Hair Academy, Redken Exchange, and many more. I continue to further my education, striving to learn the best and updated techniques, colors, and trends. I've been working in San Francisco since the 1990's, starting as a young assistant in Bladerunners Hair Studio and eventually becoming an independent stylist, working for a decade at Colorbox Salon at Dolores Park until the closing in May 2018.
You can now find me at the famous Glama-rama salon at 304 Valencia St in San Francisco as well as the Telegraph location in Oakland!
Book online here for either location.
About Me
Since I could talk I have been singing. Music has always been a huge influence in my life. In fact, my parents met at a club where my dad was playing in a band and my mom was a go-go dancer.
I believe music and fashion, including hair, go hand-in-hand. My first hair style icons were people like Cyndi Lauper, Boy George, Duran Duran, Annabella from Bow Wow Wow, Robert Smith, Siouxsie Sioux, The Sex Pistols, and even at a young age people like Cher and Dolly Parton.
My first haircut was on myself at age 14--I copied Cyndi Lauper's cut, and later the color. I continue to be inspired by music with my work, and have cut and styled many musicians as well as regular folks who just want cool hair.
I'm also a DJ!
I've had resident DJ nights at Beauty Bar, Monarch, The Residence and Cherry Bar in San Francisco, and The Hanging Garden events at The Uptown in Oakland.
Currently I have my own monthly event, called Post-Mortem. In the “before times” it was at the Rumpus Room in San Francisco.
More recently, since the bars are closed (due to the pandemic), I’ve been DJing at least twice a week on Twitch.
