Born and raised in the vibrant city of San Francisco, California, I have always had a passion for creativity and self-expression. From a young age, I found myself drawn to the world of beauty and fashion, constantly experimenting with different hairstyles and makeup looks.

Nearing the end of college undergrad, I decided to pursue my passion and enrolled in a renowned cosmetology school. It was there that I honed my skills and learned the art of hairstyling. From the moment I held a pair of scissors and paint brush in my hands, I knew I had found my calling.

Over the past 15 years, I have dedicated myself to perfecting my craft and staying up-to-date with the latest trends and techniques. I have worked in some of the most prestigious salons in San Francisco, where I have had the privilege of working with a diverse clientele.

What I love most about being a hairstylist is the ability to transform someone's look and boost their confidence. Whether it's a simple trim or a complete makeover, I take pride in creating hairstyles that not only enhance my clients' natural beauty but also reflect their individuality.

In addition to my technical skills, I believe that building strong relationships with my clients is crucial. I take the time to listen to their needs and desires, ensuring that they leave my chair feeling satisfied and empowered.

Outside of the salon, I am constantly seeking inspiration from fashion shows, magazines, and social media platforms. I believe that staying current with the latest trends allows me to offer my clients the most innovative and personalized hairstyles.

As I continue my journey as a hairstylist, my goal is to continue pushing boundaries and exploring new techniques. I am passionate about education and am always seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills.

I am grateful for the opportunity to do what I love every day and to have the privilege of making people feel beautiful. Being a hairstylist in San Francisco has allowed me to connect with a diverse community and be a part of their unique stories. I look forward to many more years of creating stunning hairstyles and helping my clients feel their best.

Emmanuel Roman, a Northern California native living in San Francisco, calls Lyon Street Salon his home away from home. Having lived his whole life in California, Emmanuel graduated from the University of California, San Diego, with a B.A. in Linguistics Language Studies and a minor in Theatre Design. After graduating from UCSD, he attended cosmetology school in San Diego after he was inspired by his sister who had attended cosmetology school while he was young. Recalling fond memories of his role as the "kitchen salon guinea pig," he found styling hair and the salon experience intriguing – from both the practitioner and client perspectives. This interest continued on into his college career, and, as a result, Emmanuel has been working in the beauty industry for more than 15 years, and more than 12 of them behind the chair.

Emmanuel worked closely with salon owners and attended two separate training programs while in San Diego. After moving back up north to San Francisco to further pursue his career, he completed “The Cutting Program” at Mercer Street Salon in Cow Hollow and then spent the next four years at The Woodbridge in the Marina.

Emmanuel has continued to hone his skills, specializing in men's haircutting. He believes that “a great men's haircut sets him apart from the rest,” and he feels he is exceptionally skilled in this arena, mastering the art of personalizing a cut and style for every one of his clients, where no outcome is exactly the same. From precision cutting to intuitive methods, he loves bringing both concepts together for the quintessential personalized experience.

During this time, Emmanual also studied color through Goldwell Professional and advanced to earn the distinction of Master Colorist. His extensive training – at both the Santa Monica and New York academies – gave him the expertise to achieve exceptional results across all hair colors, although he is passionate about brunettes and achieving the “perfect foil.”

Emmanuel’s goal is to achieve a classic, natural look for all his clients, and he works tirelessly to help them discover the beauty inherent in each person’s hair and what their specific hair can do. He is excited to continue his venture as a hairdresser at Lyon Street Salon.
