The Villages Hair Gallery

EXCELLENT salon!!! Everyone is very welcoming and sweet. I get my hair done by the very talented Cambria. My hair is thick/​coarse/​stubborn and dark, so when I wanted some thicker highlights put in she made sure I walked away happy no matter what it took. She is very patient and fun to be around (especially when my hair takes hours to do!) I also get my keratin treatments by her, which I highly recommend for anyone who wants less frizzy and more manageable hair.
I am very satisfied with the services I have received by Cambria, and will definitely be returning!

I came to the Villages Hair Gallery following Cambria Lira. It is a cute place and everyone is really friendly, particularly the owner. he is hilarious! As for my hair Cambria is amazing! The first time I met with her I could not articulate what I was looking for just that my hair was difficult and I was never happy with any stylist. She asked me a series of questions and paid such close attention that when she was done I had exactly what I had envisioned (that NEVER happens)! Whether it is color (she is incredibly talented with color) or a cut I have never been unhappy since in fact though it is a trek for me, I drive all the way from the Sacramento area to see her (YES SHE IS THAT AMAZING!!!). While I hate to risk her getting super booked, if you have not seen her… SEE HER! You will not be disappointed!

Started going to Villages Hair Gallery because I followed Cambria Lira there. It’s a bit of a drive, but we started going on Saturdays and haven’t looked back. Cambria has fantastic skill and an even better personality. Haircuts are now a Saturday treat every couple of months!

The atmosphere is very welcoming! I go to Cambria aka Cammy (hope I spelled that right). She’s very caring towards not only your hair, but you as her customer. She takes the time to get to know you, and is willing to work with any ideas you have regarding stye. I had a very elegant event to go to, and she styled my hair in the most artistic way possible. I received many compliments! Thanks Cammy ‘You Da Best!’

Today was my first time at the hair gallery and I couldn’t be happier. They squeezed me in on a Friday 30 minutes after I called in. Cambria gave my nearly 2 foot long hair the TLC it so desperately needed without having to sacrifice the length. You know when you ask for an inch off and they take off 3? You won’t have to worry about that with her. With me being a little picky, she was patient and touched up every little strand. Ask for Cambria!

The Villages Hair Gallery is a little gem nestled in the Evergreen area of San Jose. I’ve been going to see Naomi for over 13 years and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair. Since that time, I’ve come in with ideas with the way I want my hair to look and I have also told her «give me something different.» And since then I love the hairstyle she created for me. I don’t always have time to blow dry my hair and I work out quite a bit so I had specific requests.
I totally agree with other reviews that she is there to help make you look your best and walk out of the salon making you feel good.
Either way, I love my hairstyle every time I walk out.

This little gem gets 5 stars all around! Great friendly atmosphere and always clean! Naomi does an amazing job with my hair (and my hair is difficult to cut being wavy/​curly with 3 callics) and she’s always so funny and professional! I trust her 100% with my hair and this is my new go to place for an amazing haircut! Thanks Naomi!

Tricia is dah bomb!

I will definitely not return. I have straight hair and wanted a trendy curly style, like what my hairdressers do in Italy in ½ hour. I have explained the process and what to avoid with my hair. In spite of that I went out after 1.5 hours with a hair full of tight old-​fashioned curls that lasted for about 5 – 6 hours in dry wheather. 40 $, much more than I paid for a trendy look in Santana Row. I do not recommend unless you don’t want to drive further, you are older than 75, rich and you don’t bother too much about how you look.

Well what can I say, The Hair Gallery is like a family affair for us. My husband has been going to Ray (Owner) for over twenty years and won’t go to anyone else, now my son goes to him also. My daughter and I go to Trisha she’s great. I have had a lot of compliments on my coloring and my hair cuts. If you know any hairdresser which I have two in my family they alway check to see how good the cut is. They say she does a really good job. As for the atmosphere they are all very friendly and a lot of fun to talk with.

I have been going to the salon for 16 years. nearly every stylist has done my hair at some point. Everyone is so talented and make one feel at home. Owners Ray and Cuki Lira are wonderful hosts, stylists, and maintain a family atmosphere. Sometimes I just pop in to say hello and talk story with everyone… I almost wish I could work there! moe Ayala

I have had many bad experiences with hair dressers and was scared to go for another haircut. Since I needed a haircut badly, I looked for reviews on Unilocal and came across Villages hair gallery.
I called them and they were prompt is answering the call. The lady on phone was really sweet and courteous. My appointment was booked with Naomi.
Naomi is really great. She knows her stuff. She took time and gave me a good consultation. I had particular haircut in mind but she advised that it won’t suit me and said that even if i insist, she won’t do it because it won’t look good on me :)
Her frank and knowledgeable consultation is what impressed me most. Also, she did a fabulous job with my hair. After ages I have loved my haircut and I am so happy with it. All thanks to Naomi!!! :)
The other staff members were also very friendly, polite, courteous and nice.
I highly recommend this place and Naomi.

I’ve been going to Sandy Medina for years. She’s the BEST! She listens to what you want, and actually does it! It’s so refreshing to have someone who is exicted to do hair and wants to make sure you are happy. Good hair is priority to me and I fully trust Sandy to do it!

What can I say but thank you Naomi!!! I was very hesitant to go to a new place because I have been going to Los Gatos for such a long time but I am glad I decided to come here. I moved to the area a few months ago and really have a hard time trusting people with my hair but the experience and the outcome of my hair is fantastic! The owner Ray is so funny and sweet and I had an appointment with a different hair stylist but when Naomi saw me she was like I am doing your hair :-) very friendly and upbeat, Thanks again for a wonderful experience… I will see you all in 4 weeks! oh and one more thing I love paying $ 25 for a haircut very reasonable when everyone else wants to charge 50 to 60 for a short doo!

Nay is the best she does exactly what u want and even better then u imagined she is amazing beautiful and so friendly love ya chica

Naomi is fantastic! I go to Naomi for highlights and cuts. I don’t let anyone else touch my hair. I have been going to her for about 8 years now and she has never let me down. If for some crazy reason you are not satisfied with the results, she will do it over and make sure you leave 100% happy. Don’t think twice about going to the Hair Gallery, and make sure to ask for Naomi.

Trisha is always great! Super fast and accurate.

The Villages Hair Gallery is awesome and I always get my hair done there. Naomi, Ray, Tamara, Nikki, Trisha and everyone there is so nice and easy going. I have been going there for at least 8 – 9 years and no matter where I move in the Bay Area, I always go here. What a pleasant place with a positive atmosphere!
