From Horse Carriages to Robot Cars, SF Men Still Need a Good Fade A Man Is a Man. San Francisco Just Keeps Changing the Background. San Francisco has always needed a place where a man can walk in looking like he lost the day - and walk out looking like he is about to win. And the funny thing is, that need is ancient. Picture a man walking into a San Francisco barbershop in 1890. The city is exploding. Gold Rush money is still in the walls. Railroads are changing everything. Ambition is packed into every street, every saloon, every deal, every corner. He sits down in the barber’s...

That Time Someone Asked for 'The Elon Musk' and I Had to Keep a Straight Face So there I was, Wednesday afternoon, minding my business at Hairchitect, when this guy walks in. Mid-thirties, startup hoodie, those expensive minimalist sneakers that cost more than my rent. You know the type, we get a lot of them in SF.

The Transformation Chronicles How a Bad Hair Day Led Me to San Francisco's Best-Kept Secret: Hairchitect Last Tuesday started like any other disaster hair day in San Francisco. The fog had turned my carefully styled locks into something resembling a sea anemone. Important client meeting? Check. Hair emergency? Double check. Desperate times called for desperate measures. That's when my coworker whispered, "You need Hairchitect." Walking into Hairchitect on Union Street felt different immediately.

The Hairchitect Experience How My Haircut Survived Bay to Breakers (And What That Says About Hairchitect SF) I'm not a person who thinks much about hair. Mine gets cut roughly twice a year, usually when I can no longer see through my bangs. So when my stylish friend dragged me to Hairchitect in the Marina, I went along mostly for the complimentary espresso.

What followed was less haircut, more hair...
