SF is NOT a good hair city. I moved to SF from Albuquerque 1.5 years ago and my hair and skin look awful. Plus, I haven't been able to find a good salon. I would move back to Albuquerque in an instant if I could.

San Francisco a good hair city - NOT! S.F. has strong winds and high humidity 90% of the days and the water is hard. Whoever wrote this is clueless.

Whoever wrote of the "lack of wind" in San Fruancisco, obviously does not live here.

This article totally seems to be based on number of Salons! i've lived in Denver my whole life, and have never had issues with hard water, and there's always at least a breeze here, but it seems like its always windy. I love the lack of humidity!! Humidity makes my hair go crazy with frizz. I agree that this should have been written about the health and natural condition of hair.

Growing up in Anchorage, I always dreamed that anywhere else would give me more hair options. It took having my two daughters to move to other states to learn that we have a wonderful climate and water for hair. And over the years, we have gotten some excellent stylists! Wow! We made a list!

I moved to Los Angeles from Philadelphia six years ago. Since then, my hair and scalp has suffered from dryness. I'm sorry but L.A. has pollution and hard water, I can't for the life of me understand its placement on this list.

Hooray for Chicago getting recognized for something other than corrupt politicians! We do have great salons, and I love John Marinucci at Shampoo. Best cut and color in the city.

I never would have thought that SF would make the list. BC of the ocean you know salt water damage.

That San Diego is always sunny and pleasant is the biggest myth ever. It's actually hot, arid, and polluted. Both my skin and hair took a turn for the worse when I moved here six years ago.
