Located in what's practically the dead center of the heart of the Castro, Notorious For Hair has been in business for almost 20 years. Notorious is a full-service salon and will take care of your appearance literally from head to toe. Everyday, clients ranging from drag queens to librarians pass through the red door and climb the stairs to the second floor location to have their hair and skin shaped to perfection.

In a city where almost everyone knows a stylist, finding the right one for you can be difficult. Notorious' manager and stylist Noel Shabazian said selecting one can be tougher than choosing a best friend. You've got to be able to trust them to make you look good. -- Michelle Sieling
