Alina Zaytseva

I graduated from the San Francisco Institute of Esthetics and Cosmetology in 2024 and began working at Sanctuary Salon in January of this year. Originally from Saint Petersburg, Russia, I moved to San Francisco in 2011 and it’s where my journey really began.

From a young age, I’ve always loved working with my hands - whether it was painting, drawing, or anything creative. I knew early on that I wanted a career that allowed me to express myself artistically, and hairstyling became the perfect blend of creativity and connection. To me, hair is a canvas, and I thrive on creating looks that bring my clients’ visions to life.

Helping you feel like your most confident self, while chatting and creating something beautiful together is why I do what I do. I’m so excited for what’s ahead and to continue growing, learning, and connecting with amazing people along the way!
