Raul Anthony was a pleasure, and did a fantastic job with my hair on short notice. He’s a thoughtful professional, and the result was a beautiful blowout and I’m very glad to have found this business. Thank you for your great service!...more

I definitely came to Raul with a "trust the process" request. I had been wanting "ghost roots" for so long and had high hopes, all of which Raul exceeded beyond belief. Not only is the finale product just what I wanted, but I was able to learn a lot about my hair from Raul, something which a stylist hasn't done for me before and now will make deciding on future products much easier. I really appreciate the fact that he was incredibly transparent on the whole process, and a great person all around! You can really see that Raul brings his New York Fashion Week expertise and experience with high-end fashion photographers straight to SF! You should definitely consider making this your next hair visit....more

I had an appointment with Raul for a Balayage I asked for my roots to be easy to retouch in between visits since I get a lot of grey growing in. I had a wonderful bonding treatment with my service, I highly recommend it if you’re doing any chemical treatment to keep your hair soft and healthy. Love how my hair came out!...more

In love with my new Rogue coded hair, thanks to Raul at Xxenial Hair SF. I've thought about this for YEARS, and finally decided to make the change.

I felt like I was in a little bit of a rut after growing out my hair a few years back, but feel recharged and absolutely badass.

Raul brings his New York Fashion Week expertise and experience with high-end fashion photographers right to his SF studio.

Sitting in Raul's chair is a wonderful experience. If you're in San Francisco or the Bay Area and want an extra spark in your step, please book some time today....more

Went to Raul for a first time bleach and tone and it was perfect! I didn't know what it was going to be like, but he explained everything to me in detail and I felt like I was in good hands. Raul spent so much time and attention during the entire process, you can tell he really cares about his clients. My hair came out looking perfect and undamaged. He has such a wonderful personality that my time there didn't feel as long as it did. Well worth the money and recommendation!...more

Raul did a consultation, then a first time bleach and tone for my teenager from dark brown to platinum. It looks amazing and my kiddo is super happy with the results.

My teen called for the consult on his own, and Raul followed up with me for final approval since my teen is underage. He was a good listener and worked well with my kiddo in the chair, especially since this is a long process and teens are notoriously fidgety!

Definitely recommend if you want professional color, especially for virgin hair. Raul is top notch, and a wonderful person, too....more

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Virtual Consultation.

Who should book a Virtual Consultation before a chemical service?

A Virtual Consultation is ideal for first-time guests seeking chemical services—color, blonding, balayage, corrective color, or keratin smoothing. We review photos or live video, hair history, goals, and maintenance to create a tailored plan and recommend next steps.

What should I prepare for my Virtual Consultation appointment with stylist?

Prepare clear photos from multiple angles, inspiration images, a list of recent chemical services and products, and any questions. Natural lighting and a quick video of hair texture and length help your stylist assess condition and recommend realistic options.

How long does a Virtual Consultation typically take with your stylist?

Most consultations run 15–30 minutes depending on complexity. Corrective or multi-step plans may need more time. We’ll discuss goals, suggested services, approximate timing, and a preliminary estimate to help you decide about booking an in-salon appointment.

Can I get accurate pricing from a Virtual Consultation before booking services?

We provide ballpark pricing and session estimates based on your goals and hair condition. Final cost depends on length, density, and complexity. A precise quote is given after an in-person assessment when your stylist can evaluate hair health and needs.

Will the Virtual Consultation include a haircut assessment or only chemical services discussion?

Virtual Consultations focus exclusively on chemical services—custom color, blonding, balayage, corrective work, and keratin treatments. Haircut consultations are completed in person during your scheduled haircut appointment at the studio.

How do I schedule a Virtual Consultation at Xxenial Hair Studio?

Book online through our website or call Xxenial Hair Studio to schedule. After booking you’ll receive confirmation with the video link and prep instructions. Please notify us at least 24 hours in advance for rescheduling or cancellations.
