LOCATION:
Maps, Parking, Public Transportation, and Directions...

Since our salon space is private we do not publicly disclose our address, but we can tell you that we are located on Pacific in the historic Hyde Street Russian Hill neighborhood. About 2 blocks from the Polk Street Russian Hill district.

Our 1901 building was originally built as a noodle factory and survived the 1906 earthquake! IN the early 1960s it was an after-hours underground Beatnik club. There are many tourist attractions and sights nearby. To learn more, click here.

PARKING TIPS & PAID LOTS:
If you don't know where to look, parking can be challenge in our neighborhood. We always encourage public transportation when possible. However, it's easy to find parking closest to Polk St., which is 2 blocks west. And there are several paid parking lots nearby:

  • Paid parking is available 2 blocks away at the Dulux paint store lot 1580 Pacific Ave. @ Polk St. $6 weekdays and $7 Fri.-Sat.
  • Another lot is located on Pacific between Van Ness and Polk and a third, at Hyde @ Green.
  • Loading and unloading can be daunting in our corner: There is also a yellow loading zone across the street, but we also recommend pulling alongside our garage at the back of Lynch Street.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION:
The center of Russian Hill is accessible by the Hyde-Powell cable car and two Muni buses, the 41 (weekday rush hour only) and the 45. The 19 runs along Polk Street, stopping frequently from Ghirardelli Square to the Tenderloin.
The Hyde Street/Powell Cable Car stops right outside the building at Hyde and Pacific.

Taxis are also easily accessible from Polk and Pacific streets as well as on Hyde.

DIRECTIONS:

From Marin/Northbay:
Coming from the bridge, take the Lombard street exit. Take Lombard past Van Ness straight up, turn right on Polk Street, and left on to Pacific Ave.

From East Bay/Oakland Bay Bridge:
Once you approach the end of the Bay Bridge, take the Fremont St exit. Turn left onto Fremont St. Fremont St becomes Front street. Turn left onto Pine St, right onto Leavenworth, and left onto Pacific Ave. We are on the corner of Pacific and Hyde Street.

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HISTORY: Jack Kerouac wrote some of his work in Neal Cassady’s tiny attic at 29 Russell Street. Armistead Maupin’s fictional Barbary Lane in Tales of the City was based on the beautifully landscaped Macondray Lane, but the lesser-known Havens Street is where Maupin lived when penning his page-turner.
