EST.2010
the heart behind the shears, Benji Pow
Owner & master stylist
In 2019 I took over Taylor Monroe to continue the legacy that was started as Oxenrose. Now I operate in Lower Haight.
Every client who sits in my chair is trusting me with more than their hair. They're sharing apart of themselves and their vision of who they want to be after the blow out and style. I spent thousands of hours not just perfecting my craft, but learning how to truly listen. I'm really thorough with my consultations—they're conversations that explore the relationship between your inner world and your outer expression.
I have over 17 years of experience, 7 years here in San Francisco. Originally from Honolulu, Hawaii, I get asked often if I love to surf... On my days off, I'd rather hang out at a Spa, or with my dog Disco, o& get facials and lash perms at Retreat Skin & Hair (I'm renting a chair here 😉)

Explore Gray Blending
Embracing your gray doesn’t have to mean
growing out your natural color completely
Demi-Permanent
Perfect for: Clients who want soft coverage whilst steering away from the full commitment of a permanent color touch-up.
Demi-permanent haircolor creates a soft, translucent finish that gradually fades over time, allowing your gray hair to blend seamlessly, when growing out.
Permanent Haircolor
Perfect for: Clients who want a bit more coverage but a grow out that is natural.
Permanent haircolor can be free-hand painted through the hair to disguise gray grow out and give you long-lasting blending, pro-longing your typical touch-up cadence.
Highlights & Balayage
Perfect for: Clients 75% or more gray in some areas or throughout the entirety of their head.
Find a complementary light brown, beige or blonde tone that minimizes harsh regrowths without leaving a line of demarcation. Color match any haircolor for every skin tone.
