New Designer Cuts

I THIS PLACE! The MOST* generous, kindest, understanding ladies who are always hardly working. S/​O to Usha, Hilaria, Jenny,&the newest addition to their squad, (I do not her name), an Indian woman who is very nice and leaves your eyebrows full, thick, arched,&perfect.Thank you for always being there to glam the ladies of my family. This place is AFFORDABLE, SIMPLE,&GETS THE JOB DONE. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ off tops

I have been there several times for cuts, and highlighting. Last time I was there to take care of highlight grow out, Hilary slapped a base coat color on that I was NOT looking for, without asking me, then was surprised when I said I wanted my highlighting to carry to the roots too.
She then proceeded to overprocess my hair, and botched it so bad they had to put additional chemicals on my hair to tone down the bleach blonde highlighting.
So…I called today to find out the name of the person who helped her fix my hair, who seemed much more Knowledgeable than Hilary. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND… the person who answered the phone hung up on me right in the middle of my question. Called back, and went to a voice mail that said, «messages full» and hung up.
WAY TO LOSE A CUSTOMER. BUH BYE
Update: Already found a new stylist.

In need of a trim. I called to book an appt but the receptionist didn’t understand english. Kept saying, «shes working, threading?» After telling her no, in need of a haircut, she repeats herself and hung up. Umm yeah, not going there.

Love Usha & Jenni! I’ve been coming to get my eyebrows & haircut with them for YEARS! I’ll let no one else touch them. 5 stars.

Usha is amazing! She’s been threading my eyebrows for almost two years now I will never go to anyone else! Jenny is good you just have to remind her to keep them thick. Everyone else seems nice but I have never really dealt with them.

I’m not sure where to begin. Usha and her staff are outstanding with customer service and their work. She has a European edge in her style (which is what I love) and uses techniques that I haven’t seen in any salon. She takes every client with love and care and treats them as if it was the first client she’s seen in her day, always smiling, accommodating, and driven to make you happy and make YOUR dream Style come true. She seldom says no, and that’s only if she’s trying to protect you. She makes you feel like family and tends to your every need. I will always come to her!

Me and my sister were told this was a great place to go for cheap eyebrow threading and they were correct. $ 8 threading that took about 5 min. It was painful but so worth it. The women there were friendly and attentive to each guest that walked in.

i love to be there every time. Great customer service, friendly staff and i am always excited to get service from Usha sister. she is really great. i am always satisfied with their service.

When Usha is not there Tuesday, the people there are rude and charging more money than Usha

I found myself to be in dire need of a haircut. It was the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, and I just couldn’t bare to go another day with the mess on my head.
I usually go to another salon in the same shopping center, but they’re closed on Tuesdays. So I dropped in at New Designer Cuts.
I had no appointment, and I had no idea who would end up cutting my hair. I lucked out. The woman who did told me her name is «Hilary». She did an excellent job. I told her that I wanted a short cut. (I think I said it many times) And that’s exactly what I got. I hadn’t had that good of a cut in many months. I think I’ve found my new «go-​to» person. I’ll just need to remember she said she isn’t there on Wednesdays. I’m a very happy camper!

This review is for eyebrow threading service only! The older lady who did my eyebrows did a wonderful job! This was my first visit to her, and I really like how my eyebrows turned out. I’m so happy I found a place and a person who can do eyebrow threading at such a reasonable price — it was only $ 8
The service was fast – about less than 10 mins or so.
I had a great experience, and will definitely come back again to get my eyebrows threaded here.

I have been getting my eyebrows threaded here for over 5 years and Usha never disappoints! :) she’s very good at what she does and is very polite and friendly. I hope to keep on coming to her for years to come. Thanks Usha!

I came into this place for spur-​of-​the-​moment haircut after doing some shopping at Target. There’s probably about 3 – 4 salons around the area and I figured I’d stop by here.
I walk in and am immediately seated for a haircut. That was great. There was also another lady getting her eyebrows threaded. After I was seated and talked to the stylist about what I wanted with my hair, I expected her to get her tools and start cutting my hair like how it normally happens… Nope. She turns around to the other customer (because she too wanted her hair done or something) and starts talking about her hair and what to do with it WHILE her eyebrows were still being threaded.
All the while I’m sitting there… watching her have a conversation. She comes back to do my hair and here I’m thinking– ok finally. She can focus on my hair now… Nope. The other customer just goes off again and starts talking and instead of cutting my hair while talking, the hair stylist lets go of my hair and literally turns her head and body to give the other customer her full-​fledged attention. She then goes over to examine her hair while I’m sitting there… Who the hell does that?!
She continued doing this, cutting a couple things off my hair and then turning around and conversing with the other lady. She tells me how she used to work in a salon where they charged 50 dollars for a haircut and how people from afar would come here just to have their hair cut by her. Really?
TLDR; Go somewhere else.

This is my go to spot for a threading from Usha or Samira. They are always friendly and accommodating and most times I can drop in without an appointment. I’m always happy with their work and their price is a steal

I have been going to this establishment for as long as Usha has taken over. I used to get my eyebrows threaded at another place in Brentwood, who, btw charges $$$$! Fastforward to Usha. To begin with, Usha is such a great person!!! She does such a great job my eyebrows and hair. She has such a warm personality. I have to mention too that Samira, the other lady that does threading is good too. I can’t stop singing them praises!

I feel sorry about the lady who does cut hair there who seems to be the manager but someone must stop this before is to late. Because everybody loves «Usha» who does a great job with every customer, I will suggest her to get rid of the «Black Dude» in the last station if she wants to keep that business going.
This is not the first time the «Black dude» does his show. Most of the time is he and his woman yelling and talking BS using heavy language outside so all the customers can see and hear what is going on. What is funny do is that he comes back inside like nothing happened. I have witnessed his show more than ones and today I got enough.
The «Dude» went today outside and left a chair next to a customer who was on the phone outside the front door and walked away with a customer he just did his hair… I thought… man this guy is a gent… few minutes later he came back eating Ice cream and like he was talking to a dog he told the customer to move from the chair. The customer got very upset and got mad due to the way this «Dude» talks but didn’t react because his family was inside and was still on the phone. Also the customer told him, this is the way to treat your customers? to which the «Dude» replied: quote «You are not my customer» :)
If I was the owner or manager of this stablishment located next to Toys «R» us, in the Shopping Center close to the Antioch Auto Plaza, I will fire that guy before loosing more customers. I could see the customer had a great relationship with the Hair Stylist lady but before leaving he said that they won’t ever come back if that guy was still working there. Sad… they were 4 regular customers waiting to have their hair done.
Solution: «Get rid of the Arrogant Black Dude in the last station» and save your business… he is just a bad publicity for you!!!

So according to their card, this place is called New Designer Cuts. I saw the advertisement in the window for threading. I had been growing out my brows for a while to get them threaded and I felt i was finally ready to get them shaped up. I went in there around 10:30am and they told me the threading lady wasn’t there yet and i had to wait until 11am. I return at 11, and the lady doesn’t show up until 11:17 as their is another lady there waiting to get her hair colored by the same person. She walks in and tells her co-​worker, «why didn’t you call me?» her coworker replied, «because you said you were getting here at 11» So turns out I’m first in line, doing my first threading ever and it says that it’s $ 8, I figure I’m getting a good deal. She rushes to do my brows, very minimal pain, to hurry to her hair customer since they are paying her more. I see it and I was somewhat pleased with the result, not 100% satisfied, but I mention something small and she fixes it. I begin to think that it’s because it’s been so long that I’ve done my brows (I usually tweeze) that’s why they look so different. I meet up with my mom and she tells me they are somewhat uneven, and that one side is a little bit thicker. By this time it’s too late to return as I see that she is very busy with the other lady and the hair. I decide not to say anything. I do believe I might come back, but maybe triple check next time and definitely have another person with a different point of view their too. But better yet, I hope I can find a better, inexpensive alternative near me in Sacramento.

Went to get my haircut today. Was $ 14.00 and the lady did a good job with one exception: she cut my ear. There was blood gushing out of my ear lobe. LOL. but she DID do a good job, hence the 3 stars.
I feel bad because they are struggling like all the other businesses out there, so I will go back for another haircut and raise my rating IF she does a good job like she did now and does NOT cut my ear.
She was obviously embarrassed and apologetic and I did not leave a tip. Give them a try if you have a simple haircut. Can’t speak for the ladies because my hairdo doesn’t require much work, ya know!!!

i needed to get my eyebrows & upper lip threaded BADLY & usually i hit up threads in dublin because they do such an amazing eyebrow/​upper lip job for $ 15! yes, i said it, $ 15. since i was in such a rush to make it to the hercules, i couldnt drive all the way there & make it back in time. my 2^nd & definitely LAST RESORT SPOT (& by last resort i mean i HAVE to drag my ass there in shame) is the lady at the somersville mall who charges $ 22 & does a pretty lame job compared to threads. anywho! because im so fed up with mall lady i decide ok lets try designer cuts.
so i get in, its not real welcoming, whatever who cares. the 2 ladies look at me & i go «hi do you do threading?» *in my head: because its advertised in your window*…& they start laughing. ok. maybe they can hear my thoughts. after 10 minutes of trying to juggle me & another customer the one lady who does threading, & by one i literally mean ONLY ONE LADY DOES THREADING, takes me to the back & does her thing. shes gives me the mirror & tries again. i think i couldve done a better job plucking & might i add, im not one of those people that correct you at your job because it makes things uncomfortable for you & me, & it makes me seem rude; but honestly? if i think its THAT bad of a job i will kindly point a spot out that you missed. although it was truthfully a bad threading job, i paid the lady with a smile & threw her a tip just because she DID thread me up before she dyed some chicks hair WHO WAS there before me.
nevertheless, i might just go back to mall lady when my eyebrows & upper lip are looking chewbacca & i absolutely cant make it to dublin.
