San Francisco Downtown (Sep 2006)

Wine, Dine, and Get a Haircut!

Sipping on wine, appreciating art…and getting a haircut. Out of the ordinary? Yes, but brilliant nonetheless. Bradley Crane, a local hair stylist with 15 years experience, just opened up Suite Five Salon (305 Grant, 5th floor), a chic new hair salon providing cuts, color, styling, a rotating exhibit of local Bay Area artists, and a sleek red oak bar. To top it all off, the salon has floor-to-ceiling windows, giving clients a birds-eye-view of Union Square.

“I wanted something different, a casual and comfortable waiting area to serve either coffee or a complimentary glass of wine,” explains Crane. “A place to involve the crowd in the mood of the salon rather than just having people sit by the front door.” Visit Suite Five Salon online at www.suitefivesalon.com or call 415-362-5005.

Suite Five Salon is proud to announce its grand opening, Thursday, October 5, at 7:00pm, at 305 Grant Street, 5th floor, San Francisco.

Founded by San Francisco native and sought-after stylist Bradley Crane, Suite Five Salon offers the best in cut and color in a chic, custom-designed space on Grant Street. Designed by Bradley Crane himself, the salon reflects Bradley’s styling philosophy: clean, uncluttered, modern. Airy and filled with natural light, the bespoke interior combines a downtown urban sensibility with a sophisticated and refined attitude.

A beautiful, clean-edged red oak bar invites clients to linger over a cup of coffee or, for those in the know, a glass of wine, while dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows provide the perfect perch to watch the hustle and bustle of Union Square. The steel stations, which are works of art in themselves with their soaring double-sided mirrors, were custom designed by Bradley and local artist and fabricator Chris French. Rich warm grays accented by a deep blue provide the perfect backdrop for rotating art exhibitions curated by art consultant, and Bradley’s wife, Jenn Doyle Crane. The current exhibit features photographs by Bay Area photographer and director John Zissimos.

Committed to providing the very best in service and quality, Suite Five Salon provides expert shampoo and scalp massages, hair treatments, haircutting, color, and styling. The salon offers the coveted, jasmine- and orchid-infused Leonor Greyl line of shampoos, conditioners, and styling products as well as Pureology, an all natural, vegan product line specifically designed for color treated hair.

Please join us in a celebration of Bradley’s vision and success as he, and a dynamic team of creative individuals from some of the best salons in the city, come together to create the unique environment and experience that is Suite Five Salon.
