For legions of San Francisco women with curly, frizzy or difficult hair, HairPlay is their mecca for finding peace (and a great haircut).

A native of San Francisco, Master Stylist and owner, Fritz Clay, brings an open-minded, dialogue-driven and inclusive vibe to the sometimes intimidating world of professional hair care. With 20 years of award-winning technique that includes a loyal clientele in the fashion and entertainment industries, Fritz leads a team of expert stylists who share his hair vision:

An approachable hair salon, skilled at bringing incredibly style, cut and color to the wide-range of hair types as diverse as San Francisco itself.

"From the moment I walked into Hairplay, I was treated well without feeling uncomfortably pampered. They offered me a cup of green tea, and I had hardly had two sips when Carla came over to greet me. She was delightful and listened to everything I said about my hair. Throughout the washing, cutting and blowdrying process, she kept an open dialogue with me about everything she was doing..." - Caitlyn O, San Francisco, CA

"Like most curly heads, I'd had my share of salon trauma, so much so that I'd sworn off stylists...A friend recommended Hairplay and told me Fritz was a curl guru. I had doubts, but he layered my hair so beautifully. It was the first time I hadn't left a salon in tears. The best part is that the style is easy to maintain." - Alicia C., Oakland, CA

"Basically she transformed my drab hair into something spectacular. The color is perfect, not turning brassy and the cut has made my hair so easy to style." - Megan F., San Francisco

"I've been going to Hair Play to have my hair done by Denise for about 10 years. I have mixed African-American and Indonesian heritage, so my hair doesn't always respond as some stylists expec... Denise gets to know *your* hair. She keeps a notecard of your preferences and a hair profile on how it responds to chemicals, color, etc., and she doesn't bug you if you want to stick to your 'do'." - Misha H., San Franciso
