Best Place to Get Your Hair Cut

TODO magazine, March 2007
Alexander G. – CPR for your hair.
Is your coiffure a casualty of a clumsy colorist? Or even of a self-inflicted crime? There’s hope. God has sent Brit stylist Alexander G. to intervene on behalf of your hair. He (Alex, not God, although his last name is Godson) examines skin tone and eye color to select the perfect shade. Come to correct your color AND get a proper cut; he emphasizes focus on the long-term health of your locks. A London salon through and through. Cockney slurs are reserved for the mangy cur of a stylist who did you in the first place.

For curly hair.
To combat frizz and dryness, the technicians at Outer Richmond salon Alexander G. (3115 Clement St., 415-876-4688) blend damage-repairing masks with live enzymes and proteins ($60 service), then cap off the session with your preference of a blowout or diffuser styling.
Unique Places in San Francisco, 2nd & 3rd editions
The heraldic lion that strides across the Alexander G. logo tells two tales: First, that this is a place where your majestic mane is of paramount importance. Second, that this is a very British salon. Hailing from London, where hairdressing–like fashion–is considered a true art, owner Alexander Godson has trained his stylists to listen carefully to each client's needs and desires and send them home looking and feeling fantastic.
