California Cuts

OMG, what Jimmie can do for hair! I moved to Austin about a year ago and was disappointed with the results I got trying out a couple of salons. Then I met Jimmie! He gave me a slammin’ new cut and color! My thin, mousy brown mop is now blonde and spiky that’s totally appropriate for work or going out. It looks great no matter what I do to it!

Lisa does such a great job! She’s very thorough and precise. I don’t do a very good job of expressing what kind of hair cut or style I want, but she always makes it look good! Everyone here is friendly and welcoming. Prices are very reasonable, and I’m almost always able to schedule an appointment when needed. Highly recommended.

Jimmy is a wonderful hair artist. He’s an experienced colorist and stylist and have made my hair look beautiful for over 5 years and counting. I definitely recommend Jimmy for anything hair related because he never fails to impress.

Jimmy and Lisa are great hairstylists! Jimmy is great with color and style doing what you want with more pizazz! His talent is rare and he will tell you like it is and try to perfect the look you want above and beyond.
Lisa has cut both my daughters hair and it is cute and stylish. She will do exactly what you ask for!
You really can’t go wrong whether you want to go bold or simply a nice haircut.

Jimmy is fantastic! After reading so many reviews about him, I made an appointment to see him. Not knowing what kind of style to cut my hair, we sat down and talked it through. He came up with great ideas. He’s rescue me from my bland, boring hair. I will definitely be a regular here from now on :)

Great place! Jimmy cut and dyed my hair and it came out looking amazing! I really appreciated how he explained everything he was gonna do to my hair and made sure I’m okay with it. Great guy! His wife Lisa as well! They both are really nice and are good at what they do best.

Went in for a cut from Jimmy after reading all of the great reviews. It seemed that he couldnt be bothered and was pretty rude. Needless to say Ill be spending my money elsewhere.

Beat place to get my styling done Jim is a really good and knows his stuff even when I don’t put product in my hair it looks good after he cuts it. Also my mom gets her hair done there as well and she’s always satisfied the Crew is always friendly and they use the best hair products.

Jimmy has been cutting my hair for over 15 years. Every now and then I go to other saloons, usually because Jimmy is out of town, or salon is closed at the time I need a hair cut. But I always go back to Jimmy because he knows hair management jajajaaa.
Price is really good at California Cuts compared to the over hyped, over priced, salons.

I LOVE Lisa! Been going to California Cuts for about 3 years and hate to let anyone else touch my hair! Very reasonable prices for a quality job! Lisa is the best stylist I have ever been to! She highlights and cuts my hair and does a wonderful job!!!
Downside: Even if you have an appointment, you will probably have to wait. They take a long time in general. For this reason, I give them 4 stars. Otherwise, you will likely be very happy with your hair!

Great place great haircuts and great stylists. They gave me a dry nice cut which not only do I like, they gave me great tips. I will defiantly be a repeat customer!

The long search for the perfect hair person… ah my stress is finally relieved.
I know woman love their hair but men love having awesome hair as well!
I came across this place because my gf said, «You better get a haircut now or else!»
She literally drove me to the location and sat there to make sure that I did it. Yikes!
I’m so glad that I found Jimmy — he’s the best. He cuts mens/​womans and anything that has hair on it.
I walked in and waited 2 hours for Jimmy. At the time I was thinking this is crazy, I’m crazy for waiting but as soon as I got into the seat I felt an immediate change as Jimmy was this super nice guy that was really down to earth.
He gave me some tips and gave me two different styles because my gf didn’t like the first cut. (Which was an amazing cut btw!)
So he cut it again and the gf finally agreed to it.
Would definitely recommend this place again. Jimmy is the man that can make your cut come true. He will tell you the truth if your hair wasn’t made for a certain style, but if you insist he will try to make it happen for you.
Top notch!

It was supposed to be my first time there. I got there and it seemed like they double booked me and another gentleman to get a haircut with Jimmy at the same time slot. What’s worse, is they were so much off schedule that none of us were able to get our hair cut and left. Jimmy did not even come to apologize and did not even bother showing himself. I had to take time off work and this was a complete waste of time. Very disappointing experience. Save your time and do not go there.

First time at this hair salon! Yesterday must have been my lucky day because I called here during my break at work and they said Jimmy had an opening at 5:45pm. I snatched this fantastic opportunity!
I’ve been trying out different hair salons here in Austin since I moved here about 3 years ago. Nobody does it like Jimmy! He really IS the best! The whole salon magical experience you might dream about, watch in movies or expensive commercials… you get it right here!
I particularly LOVE the way he talked about my hair. He really did make me fall back in love with my own hair. My hair cut looks and feels amazing! Everyone keeps complementing me everywhere I go. I definitely feel so much more happier now. I even made a promise to myself to maintain this beautiful look and try styling my hair on a regular basis. Jimmy also thinned out my frizzy, unruly hair so that it is more manageable now. A LOT more manageable now!
If you’re looking for an amazing place for your next hair appointment I would definitely recommend Jimmy! I never write reviews but I really felt like this amazing new hairstyle certainly deserved a good review and thank you note for Jimmy.

5 stars is mighty bold. Why 5 stars you ask? Simple — best value in town. I have a very difficult nest of thick, wild, manly, untamed hair. I have seen many a stylist try and fail, and therefore when I find one that can cut it and make me look good, I stick with that stylist.
I have been going to Jimmy for haircuts for about 6 or 7 years now. He has always listened and offered feed back, always been meticulous, and always takes great pride in his work. I have had short hair, long hair, medium hair, all types of cuts all under Jimmy’s skilled hand. I will continue visiting these guys for my haircuts for as long as I can. It’s a win win for everyone, I look and feel good, and get to support local business. I should also mention my wife with an equally difficult amount of hair also gets her hair colored and cut here and is always pleased with the results.
This will probably be the only 5 star review I ever put on here, but I have to give credit where credit is due.

If you are living in North Austin and want to move beyond supercuts of this world then Jimmy is your man.

Absolute WORST haircut of my life! If there was a Jimmy or Lisa at this place they certainly weren’t there yesterday. Today I have to find somewhere else to get this uneven hacked up disaster fixed! HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT after reading the previous glowing reviews. Oh and the nail salon that was supposed to be there… out of business.

Been getting my haircut form these guys since my high school days. I will always come to these guys for my haircuts.

Long needed review. I’ve been going to Jimmy for four years since I moved to Austin. I was recommended by my bf and he will only let Jimmy touch his hair. Jimmy does cuts and colors my hair and I have never been disappointed by his work. He listens to my feedback and adjusts my haircuts every time. Highly recommend.

Jimmy at California Cuts — ROCKS! He is so passionate about what he does. He has over 17 years experience! I have very thick and challenging hair and because of his amazing technique of cutting hair, and awesome blow out — my hair is MEGA-​SLEEK, STRAIGHT and SHINY. It’s basically a high end cut, at a lower price. My husband just about wanted to jump my bones when I came home and he saw my new style! I will definitely go back over and over.
