In 1990 Alan and I opened Laru inside Double Rainbow on the south side of Route 66 in the center of up and coming Nob Hill. In 1997 I graduated from the Aveda Institute as their first Barber student. Wanting to up my game, I attended hand-on workshops around the country offered by Vidal Sassoon, Bumble and Bumble, Redken, and American Crew. As a result, I have focused my career on two creative avenues: cutting hair with a straight razor, and hair color that looks natural, but with subtleties that improve on nature. And finally I get satisfaction from sharing what I have learned with other stylists because I remember what it was like to start out in a new and creative field.

HAIR COLORING
Kevin Murphy and PulpRiot product. Please call the salon to book all color services. First time clients require a complimentary consultation with a colorist. Returning color clients may book over the phone.
Balayage
165+
Yielding a more natural look than traditional foils, the balayage might be the most requested hair trend in salons. For a balayage, your colorist paints the color onto your hair, as opposed to traditional highlights, where your hair is separated, colored, and wrapped in foil. The hand-painted technique gives you a more natural look with a less obvious grow-out. Request a mix of highlights and lowlights for a sun-kissed glow.
Ombre
165+
Ombre starts out dark at the roots and then transitions down the hair shaft to a lighter shade, incorporating variation of color to avoid the line of delineation.
Single Process Color

From simply re-touching your roots ($79) to possibly refreshing your previously colored ends ($89); the price depends on the length and density of your hair.
