Hair Frenzy

Awful! I walked my son in to have his hair cut and not only were we not acknowledged but the woman refused to cut his hair. Since my son gets a little nervous around clippers, I asked the woman to reassure him that she wouldn’t cut him. Instead of being polite, she said, «oh I’m not doing that, I wont». Unbelievable. Also, the salon was a mess. There were tools piled up by the sink and dirty aprons lying around.

Made my first visit here a couple days ago. Was greeted, seated, and had hair cut by Heather. Very nice lady and she gave me a nice haircut. Was surprised it was only 15 $. Well worth that and 5 $ tip. Shop is very clean and comfortable as well.

This is where my son and I regularly get our hair cuts. The last few times Brendalin has done our cuts and they’ve turned out great. It’s a friendly, local place with a nice atmosphere and you can’t beat the price at $ 15.

Amber was fantastic! Great cut and style, think I’ve found my hair place. Came in with really curly and long hair and Amber knew just what to do with it.

I was desperate for a haircut — the wrong time to just stop by a new shop and see what they can do — BUT — Brendolyn (probably spelled her name wrong) she was awesome — she gave me the best cut I have had in years, my hair is so easy to take care of and the layers have helped my whimpy thin hair look alive again! Seriously, $ 15.00 is a steal of a deal as far as I am concerned. Thank you Brendolyn

Stopped by at hair frenzy looking for a clean up cut, and walked in to meet Debbie.
She was great and really knows her hair! After going to get some brunch, my girlfriend wanted to go back and get her hair did from Debbie as well! Thank you hair frenzy for affordable and great hair cuts!

I had an appointment with Brendalin based on other reviews.
I arrived on time & 30 min later she finished up with the lady before me. For the last 10 min she was just talking with the lady. Not even a sorry for running behind.
Then when I did try to talk with her she was very pessimistic towards my ways of parenting. Also she was shocked some of my hair had fallen out from having a baby. That is a very known thing to happen to a good portion of moms. Being that hair is her job she should really know that! She made me feel like crap and that it was very weird for me to loose hair. Then she lectured me on taking vitamins… not knowing I’m a Natural Chef and am very aware of what I need to do for my body. So rude!
On top of that the sides of my hair weren’t even after she cut my hair. I just wanted a hair cut, nothing to short. She ended up shaving some of my hair on the lower portion on the back of my neck. It took a while for that to grow back!
She also had to meet with a lawyer right after my appointment. So she was trying to rush through her appointment with me. Then I had to change my sons diaper since she took a lot longer than expected before she even started on me. When I told her I had to do that she seemed really annoyed! Well if she was on time that wouldn’t have been an issue.
I would hope with her being the owner of this salon she would be a little more organized and won’t be so rude to her customers.

Amber is great at what she does. As long as im here, ill keep going to Amber!

I came in and saw Amber and she was amazing. All I asked for was a trim, and my hair now has so much body!!! She knew exactly what she was doing. It was my first time going and I plan on going back from now on!

Couple of weeks ago I got a cut from Amber. I must say it was the best cut that I received my whole life. I have thick straight hair, and I’ve tried many different styles over the years, but nothing pleased me in the long run in look and convenience. I finally decided to get a bobbed cut longer in the front and higher in the back. I told Amber my pet peeve of not wanting a triangular shape from the front. She understood my complaint perfectly, and as we conversed while she cut, layered, shaped my hair to perfection, I came to see how much she has a sense and touch for hair cutting. She really understood the mechanics of it – like millions of threads hanging from a sphere – complicated by all the different thickness and waviness of hair! And she puts you completely at ease as we jumped from hair to whatever other topic in the struggling life of the 99%.
All in all, she spent a meticulous hour. She also get me all kinds of tips in managing my hair. The best is that she gave me a cut in which the hairs just fall into place – and that is a rare cut in my book for straight hair that doesn’t usually «fall into place» just right! The care and attention she gave my hair certainly certainly merited a generous tip since $ 15 is inexpensive! I will most certainly go back to Amber!

Great cuts! Great prices! I’ve been there twice and I’m going there again tomorrow morning. I work with healthcare professionals in my job and I was concerned that i might not find a place in the area to get the style and attention to detail that I need.. This meant that I would have to get cuts over in Silicon Valley, where I work. VERY inconvenient. I was very happy to find these guys! They have different stylists. I have been very satisfied with the two that I’ve had.

I went to Hair Frenzy for a year to have my hair cut by Penny. She was fantastic and the price was great. Penny moved to FL and the rate was increased to $ 15 from $ 10. Fine, I can live with that, but the «stylist» that just cut my hair butchered me. I have never had such a bad haircut since my first day of basic training in the Army. She chopped my lead like lettuce and let me with not a heck of a lot. My last words to her were «I don’t like what you did to me and I’m not coming back.» And I meant it. Disgusted!

I’ve been going to Brendalin for the last 15 years and wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair! I am always happy with the color and highlights, and she does great with my cuts. I recommend her to all my friends and family.

Brendalin is fabulous. She’s done my hair for 13 years… I’ve followed her to her 2 other locations. She know exactly what I want and makes it happen… quickly. I’m always happy with the results. And I always get compliments on it. Cut & color in 90 minutes! And did I mention how reasonable she is? She runs a great shop. Best kept secret in the valley.

Last week I dropped in for a 10 $ trim. I was treated horribly as soon as I walked in the door by Penny. In the past she had trimmed my hair and I was happy and ready to give her my business again. This time around she clearly decided to be rude and sure made me feel sorry I’d ever gave her my business in the past… Even if it was a deal…
Try acting like a professional Penny. Yuck.

What a Great Deal on a Great Haircut! My partner, Debbie, and I have been getting our hair cut by Penny for about a year now… for only $ 10 each time! Penny does a really terrific job cutting hair for both men and women. She even trims my beard, and masterfully at that, all for the $ 10 price! (We make sure to tip in gratitude for these prices.) What a great resource to have here in Ben Lomond. Send your Hairy Friends to Hair Frenzy!

Penny, a co-​owner, gives good cuts and at a price that’s affordable for all of us. No better cut at no better price in Santa Cruz County. We’re lucky to have this shop in Ben Lomond. Let’s support them to keep them here!

I went to Brendalin, the owner of the shop. I have difficult hair. I’m in my early 60s, but love having short trendy hair. It’s in a pixie now. Brendalin did an amazing job on the haircut!!! I’m gotten many compliments on the cut. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for color. I asked for high-​lights in my dark brown/​partially gray hair. She asked if I would agree to a «frosting cap». I said «No» because my hair comes out much better with foils. I should have realized… She used foil, but obviously wasn’t very experienced with the technique. I ended up with bright orange & yellow hair. She, unfortunately, high-​lighted most of it when I had asked for a few high-​lights here & there. I went back to try to get her to fix it & it just got worse. Now I’m doing my own color.
BUT, I defintely will go back for cuts because as far as I’m concerned, she gives the best cuts in the area! Hairdressers need to keep up on their training & the use of hair color techniques. I give her 4 stars because I’m definitely a big fan of her haircuts! It’s also a fun place because of personality of the two stylists, Brendalin & Penny. They also serve tea & go out of their way to make clients feel comfortable & the prices are extremely reasonable. Penny also offers $ 10 haircuts on Tuesdays.
