Open seven days a week, this spacious lounge features a homey atmosphere with wood decor, comfy couches and a projection screen.

Grasshopper Salon

Located in SoMa, this two-year-old salon has a loyal clientele of businessmen working at start-ups looking for a place to chill out after a 12-hour day and get a haircut done right. The Grasshopper consults clients about their professions, the clothes they wear and the daily stresses they face in order to create a haircut the client can feel confident about. Here, clippers are a no-no. Scissors are used to create a more personalized cut designed for an individual's head shape and natural hair growth pattern. If you are looking for a haircut that matches your personality and interprets your style, this may be the place for you.
