Supercuts

I’ve gone to them for about two years now primarily for their friendly service and cheap prices. I’m going to them no longer because their prices are no longer so cheap, and because it has become abundantly clear that even for a budget haircut there is no consistency in the quality.
I generally keep my hair pretty short on the sides and relatively long on top. The first part is easy because it just requires slapping on a clipper guard. The latter is apparently impossible because it require some understanding of basic units of measure. No matter how I ask for it, «same distance off the top /​just clean it up on top /​about a half inch off the top,» about half the time I’ll guess significantly more, sometimes more than twice as much more, taken off. And it’s not any one individual stylist, though some are better (or rather worse) than others. Not knowing who can give me a consistent haircut it’s time I go there no longer. Sorry, but you’ll probably have better luck with a flowbee.

Melody gave me a hair cut and it was fantastic!

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
THIS PLACE SUCKS SO BAD. SO BAD. Seriously, they have the worst haircuts. Mind you, I’ve never had a haircut from a barber shop or whatever; I used to just get buzz cuts at home. So I came in and they were nice, but the lady there gave me the WORST haircut. She shaved the sides of my head real short and then just trimmed a bit off the top. I looked nothing like the guy in the picture that they told me I would look like. You know what I looked like? A mushroom. You know who I looked like? One of the three main characters from O Brother Where Art Thou… Not Clooney… Not the tall one… THE LITTLE ONE. You know what I looked like? The eraser tip on a pencil. You know who I looked like? A doofus. You know what I looked like? Someone’s big toe. You know what I looked like? An uncircumcised penis. You know who I looked like? An inbred hillbilly. You know what I wanted to look like? None of the answers I just listed, but I looked like a sinister swirl of all of those. I left and immediately went over to Rite-​Aid and tried to avoid everyone’s glares. When I asked the janitor at Rite Aid where the hair cut buzzers were, she looked at my hair and said, «RIGHT THIS WAY!» like she was a nurse and I was some dude with his stomach popping out his nose at the ER. Horrible. The cashier stared at me too as if to say, «Yeah, you need this.» I went home and shaved all of it off. I had to get it real short (³⁄₈ of an inch) so it would be even. I was literally traumatized. My gf just told me, «you were though» when I said that I was traumatized because I REALLY WAS. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG this place sucks sooooooo bad. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I HOPE IT IS USED ONLY BY COMMIES. I HATED THAT HORRIBLE HAIRCUT FOR THE HALF AN HOUR I HAD TO TOLERATE ITS EXISTENCE.

Every time I come here it’s like flipping a coin. I never know whether or not I’m going to get a good haircut. I’ve gotten more bad stylists/​barbers than good. I usually end up with either unevenly cut hair, cut too short, or simply not what I asked for. I’ve gotten maybe two decent haircuts here out of all of the times I’ve been. It’s really frustrating.
On top of that, most of the time the people here aren’t the friendliest. The place looks nice, but it’s not a very welcoming environment. I don’t think that I’ll be coming here as often as I used to.

Avoid Shannon here. I asked for two things: over the ear and tapered to the skin in the back. She forgot to go over the ear and as for tapering, she started doing it on the side and now I have a weird patch of hair missing. This was NOT the first time she has messed up my haircuts.

I wanted to get a haircut because my hair was getting pretty long. (Duh).
But for some reason when I walked into the store, I felt like I should have left. The vibe was off lol. I sat down and some guy left the shop and that should have been my sign to leave, because when I looked at his haircut, although it looked as simple as a buzz with a line up, it looked terrible.
I really wanted a haircut, so I just stayed.
I got MELODY, the «barber» to cut my hair. I was the only person in the store. My haircut took 10 minutes. 10 minutes. I mean yay thanks for the time saver, but 10 minutes shows no type of precision or anything. Like I’d rather someone take their time to cut my hair instead of just cutting it for speed.
She didn’t even give me a mirror to see if I liked the back or anything. She just grabbed a towel and proceeded to wipe off the hair. I asked if she can style it, so I can see how it looks first before we finish the hair cut and she goes, «Okay, I’ll just throw this towel away then,» and makes this like disgusted face to her coworker. She styles it and it looks like crap, but theres no way I can fix it now, because I didn’t want my hair to get any shorter than it was. I don’t even know why I bothered tipping, but I did anyways.
When I got home. I took a better look at my hair. The top length was all uneven. The hair where the temple is, was totally off. One side was rounded, and the other side was boxy. My sideburns were uneven and she took a lot off, near my ear.
Overall the haircut sucks. It’s probably my worse experience there ever. I would definitely not recommend Melody, especially if you are sensitive about your hair, like me. I don’t know, it just didn’t seem like she cared at all. I don’t know about many of the other barbers, but she definitely didn’t deserve the tip or my time.

today is a very sad day I’ve been coming here for years to get my haircut from Lien Nguyen. I asked if I could bring my bike in not only did she say no she acted as if we had never met before. I’ve always tipped $ 10 per haircut or more. the way I was treated what’s wrong. I’m ashamed of you and the way you treated me. I work 7 days a week for basically nothing for disabled people. did you know that the way you treated me was disrespectful. Lien Nguyen you should be ashamed of yourself. What you did as a manager is lost a great customer. Very unprofessional.

I have begun going to Jackie on a regular basis now, and she is excellent. She is really nice and one of the best hair stylists I have ever had. I’m really happy with my haircut every time I go.

Christine does a great job with me and my family. I have been to many stylists and paid much more in Davis. Can’t beat the cut especially at this price.

Jackie is GREAT! ASK FOR HER! I have had a hard time finding a good haircut in Davis. Seems like there are a bunch of places, but frankly most of them scare me. You can call ahead and save a place. Just make sure you tip good!

So I’m a dude and I usually grow my hair out over a year or so then donate it, but it’s always hard to find a reasonable place to do it unless you know someone. The last time I donated my hair, this lady just ponytailed my hair and cut it that way, wasting a ton of hair on the front and the side.
The first time I donated my hair, they actually put my hair in a bunch of ponytails and then gave me a buzz since most guys are ok with a buzzed haircut (it was at a relay for life). This maximized what you can donate/​shortens your growing time.
The asian lady who cut my hair initially thought my hair wasn’t long enough, but after I told her how to do it, she gave it a try! Haircut was free, but for going out on a limb, I gave her $ 5 tip. She took care of the paperwork and the donating and all the rest.
If you are a guy and want to donate your hair, I’d recommend this place. Just make sure you stand firm in doing multiple ponytails around your head so you can donate as much hair as you can/​shorten your growing time.
I can’t comment on how my hair looks, this is solely on the basis that this is the best place I’ve donated hair in Davis (and I’ve tried a few others… that charge, or waste a lot of hair, or just don’t know how to do it)

Been here 3 times, my 1^st time I got Christine*. And time I got some other lady, and Today I got Christine* again to cut my hair.
I hate getting my haircut in Davis because of all the horrible reviews most of the places have… but Supercuts isnt too bad. Its a nice clean place.
I have a fairly simple haircut and most places in Davis manage to mess it up. But Christine* does it the exact way I ask of her, Perfect! =]
*Pretty sure that was here name* lol

I visited this location a few years ago and wasn’t too impressed with my cut. Before I went back last year I decided to check out the reviews to see if people had any recommendations. That’s how I found Lien… She did an AWESOME job on my trim.
She had me in and out in the perfect amount of time, she was super friendly and talkative. I was very happy with my trim and for $ 15 you can’t beat that! I would definitely recommend Lien… and I will be seeing her this weekend!

This is a review of my experiences with Lien Nguyen, I have not received a haircut from any other stylists at this location.
Lien is an exceedingly talented stylist, who upon my first visit was easily able to manage my sometimes uncooperative hair. As someone who isn’t afraid to simply buzz my hair off in the event of a bad cut, I decided to experiment with my hair with Lien and try out some different styles. Each time she gave me an excellent cut. Her attention to detail is impeccable and her ability to translate exactly what I say I want into what is actually on top of my head head is a rare trait.
If you are looking to find someplace to get a great haircut on a regular basis, I highly recommend giving her a try. She consistently gives me a better haircut than any other place I’ve been to in town.

This review is solely for Lien Nguyen!
If you’re like me, getting a short trim or bang cut is crucial to your monthly routine. I HATE those asian lady salons that just disregard what you want and cut your bangs like they’re cutting their front yard lawn.
In search of a decent place to get a haircut in Davis, I found this place and was drawn to the high reviews of Lien. Let me tell you, I’ve decided to get a hair cut here from someone besides Lien, and I remembered why Vietnamese Salon Ladies are just nottttt the business…
Lien knows how to please! She has never over cuts and knows how important half an inch can be to a girl.. Disregard how much that sounds like sexual innuendos…
For $ 15 you’ll walk out getting exactly the hair cut you want. I’m also not a person who enjoys small talk and she is nothing like those overbearing barbers who strive off the local dramaz. Definitely my go to place to get a hair cut in Davis, and don’t forget to call in at least 2 hours ahead to schedule for Lien!

You honestly reading a Unilocal review about supercuts? You know what you are going to get when you pay dirt cheap for a hair cut…
Well, I’ll write something regardless… stylists here (is that what you call them) are nice. Sometimes they butcher my head, other times they do an alright job. It is a rock throw away from my place and there are always coupons lurking around for an even cheaper haircut.

They cut hair. What more do you want. Its supercuts, you know what your getting if you go in here… average service and an average haircut. Could be better, could be worse.

This is the only place I’ve ever gotten my hair cut at since I’ve lived in Davis and it’s alright.
I’m not the happiest customer each time, but I can’t really complain for a $ 15 haircut.
I don’t remember the names of any of the women that have cut my hair, but it looks like I should give a call to Lien the next time I need a trim!

I really want to like this place, I really do. I even found a «stylist» that did a decent job on my hair. The problem here lies in the lack of professionalism and accountability. For example, if you call in for a certain «stylist’s» schedule and they tell you she works till 5, what they don’t tell you is that the stylist doesn’t take customers for the last 30 minutes of their shift. Really?! However, none of this really matters at all since they are allowed to leave whenever they feel like it. To make matters worse, they claim they take «appointments.» The Supercuts idea of an appointment is only allowing you to call in the day of, within a few hours of arriving. Again, this is moot because you will still end up waiting behind a line of customers regardless of your «appointment.»
Oh and dare I not forget, you really better know who’s cutting your hair BEFORE you walk in there. Let’s just say I owned more hats than ever when I was living in Davis,

This review is solely based on Lien. I’ve never had anyone else here cut my hair so I can’t speak for the other employees.
Coming into Davis, I had the same haircut since I was in 6^th grade (I’m a college grad now). I had my mom cut my hair with a 1 all around. With that being said, I wanted to switch it up and get in and get confident as supercuts claims to do. The first time I walked into supercuts, I had benefit of Lien being appointment free. It was tough explaining to her what I wanted being as I never had to explain to my mom but she did exactly what I wanted! I was scared for the change but she did a great job. She also makes great conversation as you’re getting your hair cut. I always thought it was weird if they cut and you dont have any conversation at all. I have gone back to her ever since!
Any haircut can make you a bit bolder but a supercut from Lien gives you impenetrable confidence forged from steel, gunpowder and immortality!
