Fantastic Sams

Cut my hair way too short and it’s crooked. Looks like my hair got chopped by weed wacker.

I don’t understand the drastically negative reviews… I’ve been coming here for almost a year now, and I’ve had nothing but good experiences. I’ve had 3 different stylists here over the past few months, and they’ve all been very knowledgeable and helpful, at least with mens haircuts. It’s always a straightforward experience — I typically get asked what I want, get 2 to 3 different options/​suggestions from the stylist, and then they go to work. I always end up with something great in the end, and the conversation has always been good too, which is nice since I’ve had a couple socially awkward stylists elsewhere in the past. I can’t speak for everyone of course, but I’ll definitely be returning here in the future.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! It is a joke. Seriously. If you want your hair to look like you got it cut by a weed walker then by all means.

This place is horrible! Don’t waste your hard earned money on this one. The asian guy cut my sons hair and its horrible. He hid the imperfections by putting in a gel, the next morning we noticed how terrible the hair cut is. This place doesn’t even deserve one star.

Had to rate this lower. They have had such a turnover of people and really good ones too! I have emailed the owner twice about the service that the one guy gives which is AWFUL and no replies! He keeps him so the good ones leave!
Good luck guys!

This is not an ad from the other shop and I guess I shouldn’t have mentioned where we went for repair work. It just happened as I was so frustrated.
I’m sure some beauticians are top notch but just not the specific lady we had. I wish I had gotten her name, that would have made this review better.

My Mom went in this evening a little after 4 PM to get an haircut. She asked him the price for a Haircut (your Hairdresser a tall Vietnamese Guy). My Mom asked how much for a regular Haircut and he said $ 20 and the other Haircut is $ 20. We even had a $ 5 and $ 2 off Groupon Coupons.
What an ass of an employee you have working there. And that price for a Haircut forget it.
Personally your prices are way to high and I go to Advance Beauty School in Laguna Hills. I get a $ 10 Haircut and the students do better Haircut Jobs then your employees do.
VERY UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER!

Sorry wrong location. Jullie is at the Foothill Ranch location. Julie still gets 5 stars…

If I could give this place less than 1 star I would…
Had a major hair lightening disaster to where my ends were literally melting off and needed to get my ends cut ASAP. The woman who usually cut my hair wasn’t available and was in anaheim hills and was just too far away.
I called to see if they were busy, woman who answered said there were no customers there (probably for a good reason) and that I could come in any time.
Thinking that any place that had *supposedly* experienced peoples cutting hair, could not mess up a simple trim of 2 inches, so I hurried over
When I got there, I asked for a shampoo and trim. A guy, probably in his mid 20s, oriental and a little on the taller side who was working other than the woman, took me immediately. I told him what happened and what I wanted to do with my hair: cut off the dead ends (about 2 – 2 ½ inches), and to have the same A-​cut I had. I even showed him a picture of what I wanted.
So he sits me down after shampooing my hair and bring out his comb and… clippers? This is where I made a big mistake by not immediately running out of there but at the time I was too focused on getting my dead ends off and getting my hair back to healthy. Usually my hair gets cut with scissors and it’s cut in layers; bottom, middle, then top layer. Nope. This guy just started cutting the whole length of my hair with his CLIPPERS and using his comb as a «guide».
At the end of the cut– it was a bit too short for my liking but I could manage short hair. My hair was about an inch past my collar bone and is now at the nape of my neck… but what I didn’t notice was how OFF and UNEVEN my haircut was in the back until it dried off when I got back home.
My hair curves upward in the front then when it hits my ears it’s like an awkward rounded/​straight cut which makes no sense at all! I’m absolutely furious about this and will not be coming here ever again.
Btw my shampoo and cut was a total of about 15 min all together which is really fast for a shampoo and cut. These people need to take time with the clients they get and make sure they know what they want and know how to cut hair!
Going this weekend to the woman who usually cuts my hair and getting it fixed.
Don’t go here if you don’t want your hair completely ruined
Edit: I just saw the manager comment,; I’m pretty sure I went to this location… I’ve been living in this area for quite a while and this FS is literally down the street from my residence and you’re located in between the stater bros and dry cleaners. That’s definitely the place I went and according to the map on here, its the right location.
If that guy doesn’t work there anymore, that’s good! He completely ruined my haircut and I personally wouldn’t want him doing that to any other person’s hair. Good luck to the business, I just had a very horrible experience here.

I’ve been going here for the last few years. Their service is the best! I always get my haircut with Sody. She’s such a caring and loving woman. She’s fast, friendly and above all, gives great haircuts. The whole gang is great.

John is a super nice man, but after three of the worst haircuts ever, I will not be back.

If there was a zero star, I would give them zero. I was charged $ 91.95 for a hair cut??? I called the store and Christein, supposly the manager, she said she would check and call me. She never did, then I called my bank to dispute the changes because I only get a hair cut for $ 18 plus the tips. My bank refunded the money. I really did not care to call her back. The fowl lowing month, she pulled in my name and I told her I am the one who called about the overcharges, she said she wanted my bank statement, although I logged in my account online and showed her the charges, she still insisted on getting a bank statement because a lot of people ripped them off!!! when I requested to talk to the owner, she denied it saying she can not give me any info. I think she is the one who stole the money because they can edit the charges when they close for the day. Make sure you get a receipt before you leave. She was very rude and when it was time for me to have my hair cut, she thought that I was going to let her cut my hair but I told her I wait for Sadie who always cut my hair or the other girl whoever is done first. She acted funny and looked like an idiot in front of other customers.

Was having coffee with a friend when we decided we both needed haircuts, so we ran over here to FS.
The initial contact was a bit awkward, but the woman who cut my hair did a good job. Her name started with a C and it was not a common name.
She did a nice job, but I agree with other posters $ 18 for a haircut here is a bit steep.

I was here just last night, and must say that I got the worst haircut I’ve had in a decade. Granted I’ve only had one experience, but the one I had was terrible. The place was dead, but I was rushed in and out like there was a line 20 deep (NO ONE ELSE WAS IN THE PLACE!). My hair was cut unevenly, spots were missed, and even had a nice little oops line (a la vanilla ice’s eyebrows) with the clippers in my temple. For $ 18 this place is a total rip off. Go to a barber, spend $ 8 less, and get a better cut.

John is the man! A little pricey but John does a great job. I’ve been going there for 2 years straight.

I had an unexpected invitation on a Tuesday. I thought I would just stop in Fantastic Sams for a shampoo and style. I just know the initial of the female hairdresser (M)-as I’m not sure of the spelling… anyway, she did a great job (I wound up getting a hair cut — too).
Her manner was very courteous and she made sure she double checked the length I wanted. I have shoulder length and just thought to get at least one inch trim, and layer the rest. I am such a scardey cat when it comes to letting go of some of my mane, but she did the cut perfect. I was at FS a few times, on a Monday… and I’m not sure when (M) works… if she is there Tues. to Fri. Guess one call call to ask.
