The Stockton-Sutter Garage is in the same block for easy parking. After parking, just walk 1 block down Sutter Street to the building on the left corner. Ria Shoes is on the ground floor of the building and Banana Republic is diagonally across the intersection. The entrance will be on Grant. Take the elevator to the 6th floor.
Au Top Coiffure is located at the corner of Grant Avenue and Sutter Street, one block from Union Square. The eight-story building sits squarely on the corner, with Banana Republic diagonally across the street. The walls of the salon facing Grant and Sutter consist of floor to ceiling windows with amazing panoramic city views, which might have something to do with naming the salon Au Top ("at the top") 13 years ago. The image to the right is the view from Adrian's Chair.

Fascinated by nature, the French stylist Rene Furerer became familiar with the qualities of plants and essential oils early in his childhood.
A pioneer in finding natural solutions for the hair as well as the scalp, he created the first spa for hair in Paris in 1957. As was the style in the 1950’s, many of his clients had over-bleached and damaged hair in their pursuit to achieve the sought-after Marilyn Monroe look. It was then, Rene Furterer realized that hair could only be repaired and revitalized from the roots of a healthy scalp.
Thus a new personalized method using natural ingredients to treat both the scalp and hair was born and achieved immediate success.
