Nikko Cuts You | NCY Salon

My friend recommended Nikko to me and I love him! He’s super funny and chill and makes the appointment go by so fast by just chatting about any and everything! I wanted to get blonde highlights but wanted them to look natural which he successfully manages on my dark Asian hair! He takes his time and is a perfectionist and wants to make sure that the color he does looks good in all lighting. My hair also feels so healthy after it’s cut and the layers are perfect!

I've been seeing Nikko for over 12 years, and I can confidently say he’s the best hairstylist in San Francisco for Asian hair. Whether it’s custom highlights, precision haircuts, or root touch-ups, he always knows exactly what my hair needs. Over the years, we’ve experimented with so many beautiful shades—from copper reds to ash blonde highlights—and every color has looked rich, dimensional, and incredibly flattering. What amazes people most is how healthy my hair still looks, even with all the coloring. I get constant compliments, and strangers often stop to ask who does my hair! Nikko really gets how to work with Asian hair texture and tone. He always makes sure my hair feels strong and looks natural with seamless blends. If you're looking for a color expert in San Francisco who actually cares about your hair, Nikko is the real deal.

I’ve been going to Nikko for about a year and I can't say enough good things about my experience! Each moment I sit in the chair, I feel completely taken care of. When I first started with Nikko, my super thick hair was feeling dull and lifeless, but Nikko worked his magic and truly brought it back to life. Each visit ever since…the cut, the color, the styling—everything has been done with such care and precision. It’s amazing what the right stylist can do—not just for your hair, but for your confidence too. If you’re looking for someone who really listens, understands your hair, and delivers results that make you feel like your best self, don’t hesitate to book with Nikko. It’s more than a hair appointment—it’s a reset. 💇‍♀️💖

Nikko has been cutting my hair for at least 14 years. He is quite simply a gifted artist with international flair. He knows his metier, has great personal style and most of all really listens to his clients. Many hairstylists impose themselves on clients, not really forming partnerships. Nikko is your wingman. He consults closely with you, taking into account your likes, your face shape, your personality and helps you achieve your beauty goals as a full on partner. He keeps it fresh and contemporary and his world travels inform his "of the moment" lewks. His is the best.

I had an amazing experience getting my bob haircut from Nikko at NCY Salon! He truly listened to everything I said and took the time to understand exactly what I was going for. The end result was even better than I imagined — precise, flattering, and super stylish. You can tell he really cares about his craft and his clients. If you’re thinking about a haircut and want someone who gets it right the first time, I can’t recommend Nikko enough!
