Good styling comes in all forms, including hair and atmosphere! The inventive staff at population hair salon in San Francisco’s Mission district create a singular experience for clients using plants, one of the best methods to scrub toxins from the air and naturally soothe the spirit.

After years of growth, a sprawling jungle effect has emerged, near the washing station which helps create a spa-like environment. Owner Brian installed a living wall in his first location and customers found it so exciting he planted another in his second location even before it opened.


A drip line nourishes the Florafelt Pockets wall from the top. Excess water collects in the bottom gutter that directs it to a drain.

This wall has become a San Francisco landmark, elevating the prestige of a superior salon with an eco-friendly embrace of the city’s history and ethic.
