Shear Envy Salon

$ 80 for a haircut and solid color + $ 20 to blow dry my naturally wavy/​curly hair straight (no flat iron) = Just getting the color next time.
Came here because Jerome W. (fellow Unilocaler) recommended it, and Hair Genesis in Garden Grove didn’t answer the phone when I called three times. Set-​up up an appointment time for Friday at 5:15-ish, came in and was seated right away and had a consultation with the famous Jenni. Told her I wanted to dye my hair mahogany and a trim with long layers and was quoted $ 80 to which I agreed. Here’s what happened:
COLOR: Started with the color and Jenni was quick and efficient and had another guy helping her with my hair. My hair was a little past shoulder length, wavy/​curly and thin even though it may look thick when it’s dry, but when you feel it it’s definitely thin and easy to manage. Jenni was multi-​tasking while my hair color was setting in. The guy that helped made sure to keep the dye on skin minimal and clean it up as best he could. The finished product was amazing and I loved it!
CUT: So Mary was sent over to cut my hair while Jenni was working on another clients nails and she asked if I wanted long layers, I said yes, then she went into a spiel about how much a cut costs normally vs. how much it costs with a color and I couldn’t understand her English that well, but felt like I was getting another quote for what I already discussed with Jenni. It went something like $ 15 to $ 35 and I said, «Jenni told me cut and color $ 80.» I also asked Jenni how much would it cost to get my hair blow dried straight instead of just left as is (curly and wet) and she quoted me $ 20 and said to let her know if I wanted to do that. I let Mary know and then another price came up for blow-​drying and I told her again, Jenni quoted me $ 20 for blow drying. Mary asked Jenni across the room in their native language to confirm what I said and agreed.
I was really happy with my color and the whole renegotiating the price dance with Mary put me off about the haircut experience. I wish Jenni would’ve been the main person to do both my color and cut instead of balancing it between her and Mary, but it seems she’s juggling a lot with doing nails as well as hair and I have nothing but respect for hard working women so no shade on Jenni. Definitely great place to get your hair colored, dyed, highlighted. I may come back to get my nails done and hopefully they do French ombré cause I would give them 5 plus stars and then some if they can do that.

Hello Unilocalers!
Here is my review for this salon. okay so I came in for just a fill but knowing myself I had to try out their pedicure service. I felt a little weirded out at first only because once I sat down I had a whole team of manicurist start working on me. It’s wasn’t what I’m use too. I’m use to personal one on one sessions with one person. Anyway they worked quickly and kindly for the most part. They did continue their personal conversations which I think is extremely rude when you’re working with a client. The lady who did my pedicure did an awesome job. She didn’t hurt me my toes and her massage was nice. Now here’s why I can’t give full stars :/​When Jenny started my fill she knew when she hurt me and she would apologize for it, it’s when I got transferred over to «penny» that she really hurt my nails/​wrists. My wrists hurt so bad from the position she kept them in even when I tried adjusting them. Penny was trying to work fast because they were closing early but it’s not an excuse to hurt your client. It was a painful experience. Jenny finished me up and did an amazing job! I love my nails as well as the attention she gave them. Price wise I paid double what I would have paid at my regular salon. Well I guess that’s the price of trying a new place! Oh and Michael was delightful :) I recommend you try this place out for yourself.

Came here because of the great Unilocal reviews– staff was very friendly however the woman who did my nails was in a rush to go home and tried to do my girl manicure as quick as possible– the gel is lumpy and thick in some areas and thin in others. My nails look like they are a week old because she left way too much space undone. Overall unhappy with how they look and would not return here again.

Ok, so in need of a nail shop last minute, there is one down the street from my house but it’s ALWAYS packed and I’ve gone in there 3 times and every time it’s a 20+ minute wait, so I’ve never «been» there.
I Unilocaled the next nearest place and this place popped up with really good ratings and reviews. Well to my surprise it’s in the same exact shopping center as my local grocery store! That’s a plus already! From the moment I walked in the service was amazing, the guy at the front was so friendly and inviting and so was all the staff! Service alone was 5 stars.
Now the nails– I don’t like my toes at all, the paint is uneven and the lady cut my big toenail at a slant. She also was digging in the side of my nail really hard with her thumb nail to clean up the paint.
My manicure was ok, but I definitely have had better experiences.
Overall, I’d go back just on the service alone and hopefully I’ll have better luck next time

Jeni is awesome. always has great attention to the details! Michael is the best manager, consistently organized and attending to all the clientele. This place is top-​notch.

I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with hair cuts and had a good salon, but I moved and had to find a new one. Found Shear Envy on Unilocal and was not let down. They are all very friendly and have great customer service. My son was starving while waiting for me to get my haircut and the owner, I believe, was nice enough to get him some food for me next door. Now that’s service you don’t just get anywhere. Besides that, they are very knowledgeable with the haircuts. My hair is wavy and long, and often difficult it seems to get it cut right. I’ve been twice and both times left satisfied. My boys get their cuts too. I do recommend making an appointment, they get busy at times and are small. So making an appointment will avoid a long wait.

Great service, quick and easy. I came in for a hair cut was charged $ 22 I have thick curly hair, length after cut was bra length. I had Tiffany cut off 4’inches of hair. She did an awesome job, going to be back in 10 weeks as recommended by stylist ;).

Boyfriend has been coming here ever since we moved to Anaheim and they have all their beautiful women cut his hair. Michael, the owner asked if he wanted to try getting a mani pedi so he brought me along because I’ve never experienced one either. We ended up getting the most expensive package which was around $ 46 but I upgraded mine to gel polish for $ 10 extra.
Overall their staff takes care of you and makes sure you are completely comfortable during your visit. His hair always comes out good and our feet and hands felt brand new. Keep up the good work shear envy salon!

If you’re like me, you may be, simply put, a perfectionist when it comes to your hair. I am so thankful I found Shear Envy because since I started frequenting this place last May, I have had nothing but wonderful experiences. The staff, especially owners, Michael and Jenni, have provided top-​notch service, hospitality, and quality when it comes to getting my haircut. These guys go out of their way to make sure that you have the best experience when it comes to getting your hair done! If there’s a mistake or miscommunication, they’ll fix it! I got so tired of going to overpriced places such as Supercuts or Great Clips where they could never get it just right, or would charge me if they made a mistake. I will gladly make the 15 – 20 minute drive from Fullerton now because of the service and quality I receive. Great pricing, friendly staff — what more is there to want? Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

Got a layer hair cut that was much needed. Maria did my hair! she was great!

Went in for the first time a few months ago; let me just say that never, in all the manicures I’ve ever gotten, have I ever had gel polish stay so well! Normally around two weeks a gel manicure starts to bubble or chip, but not this one, it stayed on and looked like new after 3 weeks. I was really impressed. The service is attentive, quick, but not lacking in quality, overall I’ve had positive experiences here and will be coming back!

Had my nails done, full set, french and gel.
Clear communication,
What I wanted!
First question on the spot,
Exact price given quickly!
Fast service, to the point,
Owner Michael very graceful, honest, full of integrity and humbleness.
I made a hair appointment excited to go back. definetly a go back.
A 5 star customer service. Buissness
They took me in even tho they were closed.
yuppie. still got my nails done b4 Friday!
Wapa! Bam! Thank you :) —

Rarely do I ever written reviews but my experience here was awesome! The owner picked up when I called and said it was okay that I came in half hour before close. Once I got there he wrapped up my nails to soak off my gel nails and put a hot towel around them to quicken up the process which was super relaxing. I got a great pedicure and gel manicure and I didn’t feel rushed or anything! My nails have never been shaped so perfectly I think Nikki didn’t hands and Jenny did my toes but they both did such a great job! I am deff coming back here next time i need my nails done!
Three weeks later and my nails haven’t even chipped yet!

Love this nail Solon. Went in for a fill and color change and it was perfect! They have amazing color selections and very attentive to detail.
I’ll be back every time I need a fill

I am currently sitting here and writing a review. I don’t think I can wait any longer to write this.
I came straight from work, and traffic on a Friday was not pleasing. I arrived 15 minutes after my scheduled appointment and was waltzed right into a chair. I absolutely love how they have their color selections painted on a plastic nail so you can visualize how it will look on your hands and if it suits your hand color (ladies, you know how vital and detrimental this can be).
In all my years, I have never been to a nail salon with such incredible customer service and friendly staff. As mentioned in numerous reviews, these lovely ladies do not attempt to sell you in services or add-​ons. They are very attentive and friendly to the point where I am just too mind blown to make conversations.
After I was finished, the sweet lady went and looked for a pair of disposable flip flop for me as I walked in here with some flats. Come on !! You know other salons would flat out charge you for it or wait until you ask to give you a pair!
I am for sure coming back here! IM STILL SITTING HERE and thinking about the next time I will come back!

Just got home from here and couldn’t wait to Unilocal it! I hadn’t gotten my nails done for a while, so I was particular in choosing the place. I found Shear Envy on here, and all of the great reviews convinced me. I was NOT let down! The owner, Michael I believe his name was (forgive me if not) treated me like such a welcomed guest even before I found out he was the owner. The woman who did my Matte Lavender Coffin nails, was AMAZING. And sort of fast in my opinion! I’m super particular and want my nails perfect and that’s exactly what I got! Definitely will be returning, thank you guys!

Went here with some gals to get our nails done for my wedding day and it was my first time. Everyone was so nice especially the gentleman who handles the front. I had a special request with the glitter and they did exactly what I had imagined for my big day. They looked perfect for 2+ weeks and now are just peeling a little in the corners but thats what I expect 20 days later. Did a great job on the toes too and all of the girls loved their manicures and pedicures. Great prices. Glad I found my new nail place!

This review is solely on hair cuts from both my own experience & my boyfriend’s experience. I came here because of the location, reviews and price. I wanted to know what the price was for hair dye because my roots were coming out. They couldn’t tell me over the phone because they said it all depends on the length of my hair.
GIRL’S HAIR: When I got in, they immediately sat me down & Tiffany was the one who helped me. She examined my hair and told me it was $ 50 to dye my hair. I told her no thanks (I got my hair previously dyed in Pasadena for $ 35) and that I wanted a hair cut instead. I told her I wanted long layers and she proceeded. Honestly, when she was finished, I didn’t really see the big deal (it wasn’t the «dang, I love it!» feeling). The haircut was $ 18.
BOY’S HAIR: My boyfriend wanted to work with Jenni because of the Unilocal reviews. He showed her a picture of a Brad Pitt side comb hair cut. I was there to examine and make sure everything was okay. He told her specifics (the level, how much to cut in the front & back). Based on everyone’s reviews, they loved what Jenni recommended but my boyfriend wasn’t exactly excited to see that Jenni proceeded to cut the way SHE wanted. When I asked him what specifically he didn’t like — he said that he wanted the leave the front long, but she cut it short. And when he told her specific areas to cut again (after she said it was finished), she was in shock that he wanted to do it his way. I mean I know she was trying to put her expertise in action, but if the customer wants it a specific way, they should listen right?
In the end, we might give this place a second chance, but I ended up getting my hair dyed at the Pasadena location for $ 35 lol. Maybe I’ll try getting a mani/​pedi, but my boyfriend said he’ll think about whether or not he wants to come back.

I was in dire need of a pedicure. Luckily my friend told me about this place. The reviews were pretty good, so I thought why not? First of all I was greeted as soon as I got into the door (that’s definitely a plus, since I felt welcomed). I went on a Thursday about an hour after they opened and I got seated right away!
The spa pedicure is only $ 15, which is what I got and they left my toes looking amazing! They have a few Essie options which is nice. The lady that did my nails (unfortunately I didn’t ask her for her name) was very nice and she did not push any extras on me! She did hand me a list of other pedicure options, but she did not seem bothered when I politely declined. She even went above and beyond to carefully put my sandals on when she was done.
Definitely coming back here again!

Yeah, these are one of those places where you just kinda say to yourself… What took me so long?
Contrary to the belief that hole in the wall salons don’t know what they’re doing, Shear Envy results are just as good as going to the more expensive salons. And believe me, I know my share of those.
Full head of highlights, Spa Mani-​Pedi with Gel, and Blowdry was a very economic $ 150. For inquiring minds? I have past the shoulder hair length. Because we all know the longer the hair the more $$$.
I’ll come back time and time again. The mani-​pedi deal without gel is a cool $ 25.00. Not too shabby considering that OPI Nail Polish is $ 9.00 nowadays… At that rate… Why not have all of it done for you!
