History

Established in 1988.

diPietro Todd Salon first opened its doors on Post Street in San Francisco in 1988, spearheaded by the husband and wife team of Kim and Andrew Todd, along with partner, the late John diPietro. Kim directed her focus on the business side while Andrew remained on the artistic. This division of labor has proved to be successful, for in the 25+ years since the launch of diPietro Todd Salon, the company has expanded throughout the Bay Area, opening a total of 5 locations thus far (Mill Valley, Palo Alto, Walnut Creek and 2 locations in SF).

diPietro Todd Salon prides itself on employing and training the most talented cutters and colorists in the industry. Ranked at the top of the beauty salon business, diPietro Todd is involved in numerous fashion shows, editorial work and photo shoots. We are the market leader for every product line carried by the company. diPietro Todd Salon originated on the cutting edge of the beauty salon industry and remains at the forefront today.
