Hair Salon Near Me in Dogpatch: Barrow Salon's Third-Floor Studio on 3rd Street

Barrow Salon has no shopfront and, since recently, no receptionist: it is Suite 303 on the third floor of the American Industrial Center at 2475 3rd Street, at 22nd Street in San Francisco's Dogpatch. Anyone searching hair salon near me on the east side of the city will find cuts here from $150 to $295, each including a wash, massage, blow-dry and style.

Owner Michelle Snyder is a San Francisco native, and Barrow was her first solo salon. The name comes from Barrow Street in New York's West Village, a nod to the years she spent training at Cowboys and Angels and at Bumble and bumble in New York. A 2013 interview in Mutha Magazine already introduced her as Barrow's owner, so the salon has been part of the city for well over a decade.

Snyder's client list on the salon's stylist page includes Zooey Deschanel, Sienna Miller and Zoe Kravitz, but the move to Dogpatch says more about the salon now. It left a fourth-floor suite on Sutter Street downtown for a loft inside an old industrial complex. The footer credits an onsite mural painted in 2021 by Alicia McCarthy, the Bay Area artist known for woven bands of color.

Getting to the chair is the hardest part, and the salon says so itself. Its location page warns that Uber and Lyft keep routing clients to the old downtown address, so type 2475 3rd Street into the app rather than the salon's name. Once there, enter the American Industrial Center, a block-long industrial building, and head to the third floor for Suite 303.

Transit is simple. The Muni T Third line runs down the middle of 3rd Street, with stops at 20th and 23rd Streets, and Caltrain's 22nd Street station is a short walk west. Parking is the weak point: the salon names one lot at 901 Illinois Street with a flat $20 fee, and everything else is metered or neighborhood street parking. Rideshare or transit beats circling the block.

The salon's price list, updated July 8, 2026, sets prices by stylist. Michelle Snyder's haircut is $295, David Tolls charges $240, Jamie Chow $215 and Myles Ashman $200. Lizzy McNeill's cut is $175, Jackie Delli-Gatti's $165 and Carissa Reeve's $150, the lowest on the sheet. Because every haircut here includes a wash, massage, blow-dry and style, the price covers a full finished appointment rather than a dry trim.

Color follows the same logic. Lizzy McNeill lists a partial balayage at $280 and a full balayage at $345. Dakota Jernigan's tint is $165 and her partial balayage is $290. Michael Madalinski charges $150 for a gloss or toner and $350 for a full highlight. Jordan Fisher's blow-dry is $100. Creative and corrective color is billed hourly and requires a consultation before booking.

The stylist bios point clients in clear directions. Myles Ashman has a special love for curly and textured hair and works with advanced razor techniques, so he suits tight curls and shaggy, lived-in shapes. Michael Madalinski is a two-time Allure pick for top colorist in San Francisco and is known for blondes. Dakota Jernigan is an intuitive balayage painter, and Jordan Fisher specializes in the blowout.

The regulars reflect that mix: Dogpatch and Potrero Hill neighbors who walk over for a cut, longtime clients who followed the salon from downtown, and blonde clients who plan their highlights around Michael's schedule. Bang trims and color consultations are booked directly with the stylist rather than online, which suits returning clients who already know whose chair they want.

Online booking runs through Vagaro, and the window opens three months ahead, so popular stylists fill well in advance of holidays. The salon asks for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel. There is a 15-minute grace period for lateness; beyond that you may face a late fee. Late cancellations inside 24 hours are charged 50 to 100 percent of the booked service, and no-shows pay the full price.

Without a receptionist, the experience is quieter and more direct. You check in with your stylist, and checkout is touchless. Products on the shelves come from Oribe, and color is mixed with Wella.

An honest call: skip booking the owner for a first cut unless you specifically want her. Michelle Snyder's $295 cut sits at the top of the sheet, while stylists like Lizzy McNeill at $175 also include the full wash, massage and blow-dry. Start with a mid-tier chair, see how the salon's approach suits your hair, and move up later if you want to.

Barrow publishes no walk-in policy and, without a front desk, it is not a place to drop in on spec. It is a barbershop, not a color salon.

Dogpatch is compact, and the salon sits in the middle of it. Two blocks away, Piccino at 1001 Minnesota Street, on the corner of 22nd, serves dinner Wednesday to Sunday from 5pm to 9pm and runs a coffee bar on 22nd Street for a quick espresso before your appointment. Minnesota Street's Victorian workers' cottages make the short walk there more interesting than the industrial frontage on 3rd.

Walk east toward the bay and you reach Crane Cove Park, the waterfront park built around two historic shipyard cranes at the foot of 19th Street. It is a good place to see a new color in bright bay light, and on a windy afternoon you will quickly learn how your cut holds up. Head back to 3rd Street for the T Third when you are done.

Address: 2475 3rd Street, Suite 303, San Francisco, CA 94107, on the third floor of the American Industrial Center at 22nd Street in Dogpatch. Book through Vagaro up to three months ahead. Transit: Muni T Third at 20th or 23rd Streets, or Caltrain at 22nd Street. Parking: a $20 flat lot at 901 Illinois Street.

Cuts run from $150 to $295 depending on the stylist, all with a wash, massage, blow-dry and style. Give 24 hours' notice to cancel, and arrive within the 15-minute grace period. Type the street address into rideshare apps, not the salon name. Ask Karpo in the Karpo APP for a dinner table at Piccino or a coffee stop nearby once your appointment is set.
