  If you are planning to see Miguel, I strongly suggest you read this first. This review is my genuine opinion of this establishment and I have no personal or business relationship with Foxycuts.      In mid-January, I called Foxycuts to schedule an appointment with Miguel. They told me that he does his bookings online. I went to their website and requested an appointment for a cut, dye and full balayage for 10am on Feb. 24th. I added a note saying that they would need to reserve extra time for me since I have very long hair. I got a confirmation text and email saying the booking was approved.      Miguel is the owner and has some glowing reviews and pics online. When I arrived, he was speaking with a client in the waiting area. I waited 10 or 15 minutes. Then he told me I was only booked for a 15-minute slot. Apparently they were having problems with their new booking system. I mentioned my note and that I had booked this over a month ago. He made a few calls, and luckily one of his clients said she wouldn't make it.      My hair is naturally medium brown and I wanted to dye it very dark brown with lighter brown balayage. We spent time talking about this. He said it would be very hard to achieve and take all day. He brushed my hair out and then told me he had a man and his son coming in for a quick haircut. I was confused because I thought we were about to start. "So, like 30 minutes?" I asked. "Uhhhh, 45 maybe," he said, and sent me back to the waiting area.       An hour later, Miguel was finally finished with the pair. He then sat down in front of me to enjoy a lunch of Mexican food. When I finally got back in that salon chair around noon, I told him I just wanted the dye and cut and that maybe I'd come back for the balayage. "Are you serious?!" He asked incredulously. I said yes. "Do you have to be somewhere?" I reminded him that I had already been there for two hours. He said, "Ok, I understand." A few moments later he said, "You know, you've been really patient so I'll tell you what. If you come back for the balayage, I'll do it for free." I was very surprised, but appreciative.    Turns out his offer had a catch. He later said that since he was doing me such a big favor, I was obligated to let him do a bright, unnatural color like pink so he could use it for his portfolio. This was disappointing. I didn't want a funky color.    Later on a guy came in and said he had an appointment with Miyoko, who was out sick. Miguel said he'd take him, and then rushed through my cut. As he was blow drying my hair he asked if I liked braids. He said that he wanted me to leave with something amazing. So I said ok and he put a fancy but very tight and painful five-strand braid in my hair. The braid was cool looking but I had frizz sticking out everywhere. The next morning--this is 100% true--I woke up with an awful migraine from both the tight braid and the strain on my neck while he was braiding.     On top of all that, when we rescheduled the balayage, he was totally unaccommodating. I asked for a weekday evening slot (I work until 5:15) and he said nope because they close at six. Their other stylists  have offered to stay later so that I could come in after work, but not Miguel. I would have to come in on a Saturday again, and his first opening was in another month.     And finally, as I was paying him, he threw in another caveat to my "free" balayage. He said that because my hair would be so damaged by the process, I would have to buy at least $70 worth of product from him.     I spent a long time straightening my hair the next day to see what the cut actually looked like. One side was tapered a lot shorter than the other and the ends had a straight edge with no layering (not point-cut like in the picture I showed him.)     Ultimately I decided to write this review instead of taking him up on his offer. Miguel's behavior was so unprofessional that I won't be patronizing Foxycuts again.

  I went to Foxycut to see the owner (Miguel) for my past few haircuts when I was in college in Seattle. After I moved back to San Francisco, I decided that the next time I was in Seattle, I would take the plunge into a cut/first time balayage at Foxycut. At my appointment, Miguel quickly understood the issue my hair was having: I'd been straightening my hair/getting it cut like it was straight for the past....10 years? As usual, Miguel took both my haircut and balayage to the next level. Apparently, my naturally curly hair had been hidden by improper haircuts for YEARS. The new curled style I walked out with is way more unique and edgier than I ever thought my hair could be. Miguel understands how to get the most out of curls/waves. The service was a bit pricey, but very worth it for the quality of care he took! Thanks Miguel - I'll be back!

  Foxycut is the best. The whole staff of stylists make you feel at home. They're personable, funny, and so nice. Hiwot styled my hair- I had asked for a very difficult dye and style- and she was Amazing! My hair looks fantastic. I would recommend this salon to anyone; certainly to those wanting to up their style or have a more fashionable look. Perfection!

  After two visits with Foxycut Salon I can safely say I'll continue going to them for a long time. They have a diverse team who know how to style many types of hair, which was very important for me with my thick Filipino hair- it's a disaster if not styled right. The salon itself has a fun atmosphere and is very intimate. Only detractor is the line from the restaurant next door frequently blocking the entrance.

  I am so happy to have found this salon after relocating to the area. Miguel is super knowledgeable, he not only did a great job with the cut but also showed me how to style my hair two different ways. He takes his time to educate and make sure you are happy with the service and are able to replicate it. Although I didn't get any color the staff seemed extremely knowledgeable about colors as well, if I were to do that I'd definitely go there. Awesome place, I highly recommend it! I won't be going anywhere else.
