San Francisco's prestigious, referral-based beauty salon specializing in custom facials, coloring, and styling, is celebrating five years in business this month.

The salon's clients include executives from Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Uber, Apple and others; they celebrated the anniversary with a VIP invite-only party on May 18th.

Sisters Samera and Meetra opened Samitra five years ago to bring a new concept in personal beauty and care to SF, allowing their clients to customize their appointment experience without the hurried, crowded feeling many get from a typical salon. It was a huge risk, but it's worked. The salon works on a referral system to provide personalized and intimate one-on-one care to every client who enters the door. This philosophy has allowed Samitra to flourish, and to provide every client with the VIP treatment.

The salon offers services including men's and women's haircuts and color (including balayage, ombre, touch-ups, corrections, and grey blending), bridal hair and makeup, blowouts, custom facials (skin tightening, Glow oxygen treatment, Glycolic facial treatment, acne treatment, LED light treatments for collagen growth), natural hair and skincare products, and more. In honor of its anniversary, the salon has added new services, including permanent beach body hair wave treatments, and microblading. They are also working to add natural skincare and haircare brands to their selection of products.
