Hair Spa Salon

This is a review not reflective of the business but of the gentleman that cuts hair with the glasses.
It’s important to understand the customers demands before starting. The last thing you need as a hairstylist is something that comes out 180 degrees from what the customer has communicated with you. A #1 fade straight up (hands motioning parallel to my head) shouldn’t turn up like a Chuck Liddell fro-​hawk.
Yes this should have never happened. I blame myself partially because I am near sighted. I having to take off my glasses during a hair appointment and therefore trust we’ve communicated properly. Double checking a person’s work is difficult and impossible until the damage is done.
At avoid any possible damage you may incur please bring a picture of your desired hair cut, a vietnamese interpreter, and a person that sees well if you don’t want a completely mangled hair cut.
A wise man once told me «no haircut is better than a broke haircut»

It’s absolutely 5 stars place. Although this place is totally busy and booked if you walk in they put you on chair less than 10 mins. It’s my only hair cut place right now I really recommend to everybody.

Two hair stylist, first and third from the entrance side are really good. I always go there.

Don’t let the old lady cut your hair! She just messed my hair up big time! They are uneven, I asked her not to use machine, she end up using it without even asking me! One more point, I have her 10 cash and they charge 8 for haircuts, and I wasn’t willing to give the 2. Crazy thing, she never offered me my change of 2 and just said have a nice day! SMH!

Thao is amazing. She has been doing my chemical straightening for years and is not only a great stylist but also an expert on the different products available. She is extremely accommodating and accomplished. I have extremely thick, curly, and unruly hair and she has the absolute best tips and advice. Even though I have moved to the peninsula I still always come back to her for all my hair needs.

Being in the military, I would get hair cuts all the time. This place does an awesome job and they cut men’s hair like the military barbers. I would highly recommend this place to go to and plus it’s affordable.

I have been going to Hair Spa Salon for a couple of months. However today was my last visit to this salon. NEVER EVER I am going back here. Why? The guy who was cutting my hair was so casual and busy talking with other ladies, that be simply cut open my ear. And it was not a nick, a proper cut.
I felt a sharp pain and asked the guy to be careful. Little did I realize that I am bleeding, but the funny part is the guy who was cutting my hair also didn’t see (or may be chose to ignore it). When I touched the back of my ear, blood was oozing out freely. I showed it to the guy who then realized that he has done something bad. He immediately put some nick relief powder (however the bottle he showed made me feel nervous, it seemed like purchased from a quack). The bleeding stopped in a few minutes though. The guy also apologized to me, but continued cutting in the same fashion. Unbelievable!!!
Agreed this place is cheap, but you also get what you pay for. There is definitely a problem in their interpretation of what kind of hair style you want. I have faced this a couple of times before as well. They would cut my hair really short from the front where I want a decent length. It’s hard explaining them in English.
Go there at your own risk. To save a couple of $$, you may need to shed a few drops of your blood!

I went in to cut my bangs for only $ 5! Super cheap!
However they weren’t exactly able to capture the ones I wanted on the photo haha. The same goes for my friend who came with me. But the lady is super nice and it seems like she had a lot of regulars that came in so it may have been an off day. Who knows… May try again.

Couldn’t understand what haircut I wanted. Kept cutting hair shorter to cover up mistakes… several times. Resorted to the thinning sheers at the last because she couldn’t fade and didn’t have enough hair left. Every time I examined a part of my head, she’d say «oh, I’ll fix that». She cut my side burns to the skin (I have, HAD, a beard)…she then had to cut my whole beard off. (Said, «oh, you look younger now»). Gritted my teeth the whole way through. I wouldn’t go back even if the next person was good. Not even CLOSE to worth the hit or miss.

Be careful who you get. Some are gold, others are not.
I’ve had to learn this the hard way…
A few of the times I’ve come out looking like I was fresh
from prison or the army.
…but if you choose your stylist wisely, it’ll look much more than
8 dollar haircut and what more could you ask for?
you can’t get any better than 8 dollar haircuts. I feel like they
deserve at least 15 bucks for the great job they’re doing so
I always try to tip big. I’ve been coming here for years
and even though I’ve moved around, I always drive back
to El Camino every time I need a cut.

I wanted to say to the Unilocalers that this place is amazing…
I met with Ann to have my permanent hair straightening and she checked my hair thickness and length and told me a lesser price than the other saloons and I couldn’t believe it…
I thought i’ll give a try and Ann gave me an appointment on Saturday and told me to come a little early because she’ll get busy later during the day and I did that… she is just amazing, very friendly and patient.
she took her time to do my hair and the outcome was really good. All my friends loved it and that said it looks so natural …
I will definitely recommend this place. There are a total of 4 ppl working along with Ann. the ladies who work there are really good and give you a patient and a nice hair cut, there is one guy who works there who is always in a hurry to finish of the hair cut.
Its a small salon but worth the money :) I will definitely go there next time

i took my 2 year old son here for $ 8 haircut. The stylist was very patient with him even though he moved around alot and kept turning his head to different directions. The haircut turned out perfect. Will definitely come back again.

I always take my son here for his hair cut, reasonable price for a kid’s cut ($ 8). Every time that we step into the salon, the owner always greet us with a smile and knows my son’s name by heart. Her staff always takes their time cutting his hair even the fact that they have other clients waiting. They do get really busy after 3 pm.

First off, I would have given this place a 4 star rating if I never got my hair cut today by this specific hair stylist. Iv’e been here 4 times before and was always pleased with the results. This time, I got an unfamiliar hair stylist who really got my blood boiling.
I used to cut hair so maybe I am being harsh:
She was not rude, just incompetent.
I asked for a zero fade on the sides and back with a 6 on top.
I waited for 25 minutes which isn’t bad but would have waited a lot longer for another stylist if I knew what I was getting into.
This was the most painful haircut I have ever gotten! I have red marks all over the back of my neck to prove it. I honestly think I should go get a hepatitis shot.
She did not blent the fade just tiered it so it looks like stripes.
I asked her to do a fade going straight up but she decide to fade it outward so I look like smart mouse from «Pinky and the Brain». When I corrected her, she didn’t fix it, she just took a short cut and tried to cut the sides shorter on top and not re-​blend it.
When buzzing the top of someone’s hair, the fore front part of the top of the head should be kept slightly longer but she just went straight through it making me look even more stupid.
She left stragglers all over my bangs, behind my ear, on my neck and on the side of my head.
I left unhappy, hungry because it took my whole lunch break, and had hair all over and inside my shirt. I feel like I just got pranked.

I’ve been going to this place for a couple years now. I’m a guy and have a very simple haircut that only takes a few minutes so it was getting more and more annoying to pay $ 20 for a haircut in the mall. This place is right next to a dollar store and a pretty good Korean soup place so if my wife is with me she can occupy herself for the little bit of time it takes to get mine cut.
Very good service. Pleasant people. I’m very happy with the $ 8 price tag.

First I wanted to let you Unilocalers know that I found my stylist and a hair salon I can become a regular. :)))))
Ok. 2 days earlier I was crying over my eyelashes from la belle spa… Yesterday thought I treat myself with medi pedi. After my nails I decided I would get my hair cut. I usually get my hair cut somewhere else. But I just want a connivence location close to nails salon I turn to Unilocalers. saw Hair spa and salon and Unilocalers have lots of positive reviews. So I went over to try them out. They had about 3 ppl they are working on and one waiting. 3 stylists I didn’t wait long at all. and (I didn’t have an appt) so the guy took me in seated me down ask if I just want hair cut.
last year– I had blond hair with low lights before Xmas of last year I went back to black n I didn’t like it. Been wanted to go back to blond since January but I didn’t want to take a risk of any salon mess up my hair. My previous blond took me about 3 salons totally of 18 hrs in one week. To get the High lights n low lights I wanted! I’ve been through he’ll with it. crying all that.
Anyways so for some reason I felt that this is might be the place. So I asked the gentlemen if they do color he said yes n have the lady Hanna come over and talk to me. There another lady there she is owner, also came and consult with me.
At first they were talking in Vietnamese sounded like they are not to confident to get the color that I specifically wanted.
Well. They are proven me and themselves wrong! My hair look amazing I can’t even believe what I saw. Usually I end up crying at the end but not this. they made me so happy and I love my hair so much!!! I will go back for touch up.!!
The total cost of everything was only 85.00 plus tips.
I walked in at about 4ish. about 8 pm I was done. Amazing.
I highly recommend to check them out!

I’ve been coming here for a little over 6 years now. Between those 6 years, I’ve occasionally tried other salon/​barber shops, but I always end up coming back. I didn’t look around because I wasn’t satisfied, but you just never know if there is better until you try others. I haven’t been able to find better.
They usually do a great job, but I admit they do have their off days. I think it’s only because it gets super busy during peak hours (11 am — 3 pm on weekends) and Ann sometimes rushes to get to everyone.
Pros:
— Price!
— Price!
— $ 8 haircuts, $ 10 with tip
— Good and reliable (can only speak for males)
— As long as you are specific with what you want, they will do it for you
— Very nice people
Con:
— Wait can get ridiculous
— Occasionally rushes through cuts during rush hour
— Sitting around with inconsiderate Korean adult males (i kid).
Ann and her sister are the only two I prefer cutting my hair.

I needed a smart fix for a haircut gone wrong and rolled the dice on this place. I was pleasantly surprised.
The place is neat and clean & the staff are super friendly. I was a walk-​in and though there were plenty of clients, I didn’t have to wait very long for a chair. With four staff members, service was accurate and quick.
After a brief consultation, the man started to cut. He continued to keep me up to date about what he was doing, asking questions to make sure I was getting the cut I wanted. He also had smart suggestions, most of which I accepted. In the end, I had a great experience and was happy with the end result.
The overall cost of the cut and style was $ 12 (plus the tip I offered). There’s a giant sign on the window that says $ 8 for a haircut, which is a really great deal for the kind of service you get.
I’ll definitely visit in the future.

The place is clean.
Staff members are friendly.
Price is cheap.
No long waiting line most of the time.
Hair cut looks good (even on me!)
Highly recommended!

This review is strictly for the hair cut from a male perspective.
So I recently moved to this area and I was searching for a place that i can get a good fade that makes it look clean. So I convinced myself to try out this place. The price for a hair cut was $ 8 and IMO thats pretty cheap since Ihave gotten used to paying close to $ 18 including tip. So my first time there I sat watching the ladies techniques and it was weird at first since I was like damn that guy is getting a bowl cut but then she cleaned it up real well and it was pretty nice fade.
So my turn approaches and I received a hair cut from the skinnier ladies and she did an awesome job. She cleaned up my sides and lined me up pretty clean. But my second time was havinga different lady do me up, I figured they must all have the same technique and she would be okay. The whole hair cut was great, the fade was fine but when it came to lining me up she took a chunk of hair frommy forehead that made it look like i had a wider forehead. Im not upset about since its just hair and it’ll grow back but I think I’ll stick to the skinnier lady.
As far as the chunk she took off it was fine while it was shaven but now that it’s growing back it kinda looks like a rice terrace with different levels.
So I get my hair cut about every two weeks and I’ll continue going back here since after all the price is good and its only a block away.
