2016 WINNER of San Francisco Magazine: CURLY HAIR STYLIST

Cutting curly hair is a bit like driving a Zamboni: It should really be left to the pros. Dianne Nola is a consummate pro. A curl specialist for the past 28 years, she trained in the vaunted DevaCurl method and is a master of the dry cut. When you sit down in her chair, she’ll begin by assessing your curl type and will finish with your undying loyalty (cuts $140–$210).
