This review is for Vicky. I’ve been back here for haircuts by Raymond, Vicky, and this lady with short, colored hair.
My first haircut with Raymond was great. I just walked in without an appointment. He listened to what I wanted and gave me suggestions. The second time, I scheduled an appointment but it was delayed and the haircut didn’t turn out as good as the first one. I felt that he just rushed through the process.
My mom recommended Vicky to me. My first haircut with her was just okay. However, this weekend I’ve just had an excellent experience with Vicky! I walked in and waited to see who was available to give me haircut. I took my chances because I was tired of my boring hair style. I wanted a short, asymmetrical bob. I showed Vicky a picture of what I wanted and gave her some more details. She was able to deliver! She was precise in her cuts and took in my suggestions throughout the process. I left very happy and got many compliments on my hair! Thanks, Vicky!

The worst haircut I ever gotten was here. After 3 weeks I still didn’t like my hair which means that it wasn’t because I was not use to it but because the haircut was just horrible.

The «popular» stylist will give you attitudes and the «amateur» stylist will give you bad hair day!!! U figure what to do with this place.

I have been coming here for over 20 years. Tina is THE BEST. Its always nice to talk to her, and she definitely takes the time and effort to cut my hair. When Tina is not available, her husband Raymond also does a great job.
Be sure to make an appointment, because if you walk in, chances are Tina is booked.

Today I went in for a haircut, but I didn’t ask for Tina or Raymond and I regret it. This 1 star review, though, is still applicable to the business as a whole as they should NOT have hired the lady who cut my hair in the first place (I didn’t get her name, but she’s a middle aged Chinese lady). Sure, they may have the other two stylists who are amazing, but you should not have two awesome stylists and someone who has no idea what they are doing.
Okay, on to the haircut. So some lady seats me down and I describe to her what I want and show her a picture of it also. I specifically asked her to not cut a specific part short. She says okay… then I notice she starts cutting and gets closer and closer to that part. So I remind her again and she puts in a hair clip this time. So all good for now. Halfway through the cut she takes off the hair clip and chops off the part I didn’t want short… She makes it really short it completely ruins the haircut and is basically the opposite of what I asked for.
So if you are to come here, avoid anyone that isn’t named Tina or Raymond just to make sure you don’t get this lady. Also, this place was 14 $ for a men’s haircut (no wash) and they charge extra for wash and style. Not worth it at all, I won’t be coming back as long as this lady still works here.

TINA! She is the best! I’ve been getting my haircut from her since middle school (I’m 25 now) and she always manage to make my haircut and bangs look good. She takes her time and give you suggestions on what looks good and what doesn’t. There are multiple times that I got my haircut somewhere else and I had to book Tina to have her fix the mess. I live 30 mins away but the drive is so worth it.
Price? The cut is never more than $ 25 :)

Hair stylist was very nice but the place was rather unclean. The brushes and scissors that were used on me still had other people’s hair on them! The drawers had hair in them too.
I just went in for a wash and cut so it was pretty standard.

Raymond has been cutting my family’s hair for 16 years, I’m afraid of someone else doing it after he retires, but luckily for you and me, he promised me another 10 years minimum before he retires. Cheers!

I always go with Tina here. I usually get my hair trimmed about once every 2 – 3 months.
It’s your typical Asian hair salon, with multiple plasma TVs on the walls playing Chinese drama, music, or news.
ALWAYS call in to make an appointment with Tina!!! Otherwise you will NEVER get her if you walk-​in; yes, she’s that’s good and popular.
Tina is very attentive and skilled. You can describe to her what style you want or even show her a photo, and she’ll know exactly how to cut your hair. If you’re unsure about what style will fit you, she’ll give you recommendations and let you decide what sounds good to you. Tina is very fast but is very meticulous about her work, and I have never been disappointed.
Hair shampoo/​conditioner + female haircut = ~$ 27
I’ll always recommend Tina here!

ONLY ASK FOR TINA. She takes her time and is very meticulous and careful. I asked for a blunt bob and she made sure all sides were even. The second time I went in, I didn’t ask for her specifically and got my hair cut by a mandarin speaking lady. SHE IS HORRIBLE. I told her I want a blunt cut and she kept cutting it in razor style. I went home and there are soooo many uneven ends, some longer than the others. Tina took 30 min to cut my hair and the other last raced thru it and didn’t even check if it’s all one length. I never say this but I hate her work. She was super careless. Always always ask for Tina. Only.

This place used to be good because of one guy that worked there who was absolutely the best. He was passionate and was not afraid to push the limits and style hair according to what he thinks looks good instead of listening exactly to what the customers want. Not saying that stylists should ignore what their customers want. Customers know in general what they want, but it is up to the stylist to go beyond that.
Having said that, I was pretty sad when he left a few years ago to pursue other ventures. After that, I had Raymond cut my hair and it was good for a while, but after a period of time, I was getting horrible service. I would make an appointment at a certain time and I had to wait for over 30 minutes — and he did not once say anything to me. He could’ve said «sorry for the wait» or something like that, but nope. I didn’t even get a haircut that day and just left the shop. Haven’t been back since.

I was in the neighborhood running errands and thought I would weave in a haircut as well. No pun intended.
I called to see if there was a wait and thought the woman was a little rude but I gave them the benefit of doubt given the high ratings. They are located in an Asian strip mall and is primarily geared towards Asian clientele. The inside was quite nice with bright colors and they have mini TVs for each chair. The ones that were on were playing what appeared to be a Chinese reality show. Nice catchy Chinese pop was playing on the stereo. My interest was piqued and I was curious to try this place.
The service was a turn off though. The haircut itself was functional but I don’t know if they are just not friendly in general or not friendly towards those who are not in their target clientele. The woman who checked me in and the woman who cut my hair did not smile once and said a total of 6 words throughout. «what cut… keep sideburn… short enough?» I am not looking for a lot of conversations and huge smiles but pleasant would be nice and she just seemed grumpy.

Tina rocks my socks.
She takes her time and she is SO good with bangs. The way she cuts my hair is great because it grows out really well. It’s a good idea to call ahead for an appointment.

Local joint for haircuts. Good father/​son bonding as we both get our haircuts here. Rates are reasonable and they are pretty fast.
As for kids, I think the price is cheaper (nearly 50%) less than a specialty kid haircut place in Fremont Hub. However, it is less «fashionable” – I mean, they didn’t gel up my kid’s hair at this place. They also don’t have the cutesy kids seats to cut hair in.
Also, you have to deal with the fumes from the hair products that they use (which are not good for adults or children in general).

I love Tina, and her wonderfully affordable $ 18 cut. I don’t know how many times she’s fixed me up after some other $ 14 SuperCuts butcher has violated my hair. Now that I’m smarter about it all, I try not to see anyone else (even though I haven’t lived in, or even near the area for over 5 years.) and still fondly dream of the perfect A-​line bob that awaits me whenever I get the chance to visit her.
As a goddess of the clippers, Tina will often disregard your opinions to give you a better look. It’s best to just go along with her vision– and tip her well at the end!– since you’ll definitely want to come back. Busy days do not negatively influence her style or perfectionism. She is super meticulous– even trims can take 45 minutes of fine-​tuning.
The greatest thing about Tina’s haircuts is how well they grow out. I am not big on hair maintenance (and have been known– as a certifiable cheapskate– to give myself masochistically ugly trims) so it’s nice that her haircuts last for a good four to six month span on negligence.
Tip: Tina is popular, so make an appointment beforehand. Wednesday morning (crack of dawn) walk-​ins are possible, but not likely.
Bottom Line: The Asian community’s best-​kept strip mall secret. Who needs to pay $ 60 for a haircut in SF?

I’ve been following Paul around for 3+ years, since my foray into Focus Beauty at the Auto Mall.
I’ve had $ 150 cuts and mid-​range cuts for $ 65.
Nothing beats a $ 30 cut that:
–Grows out nicely
–Easy to maintain
–Has style without styling
–Includes shampoo/​conditioning
Languages: Fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin. Limited English. Bring a photo and show him, no need to talk. I like to bring a magazine to read, there is a nice selection at Imagine.
Love it. I’ve finally found someone to cut, tame and style my Asian lion’s mane.

Good, clean salon. I needed help getting my hair curled for a wedding and this place had the best price in town. Other Fremont-​area salons wanted to charge me $ 69 (starting price) just for a simple curl, nothing fancy!!! I walked in on a Sunday afternoon and they were able to take me right away. I have pretty long, thick hair, so it took about 40 mins. The stylist who did my hair did a great job! She made sure that the curls were tight so it would last all night. And it did! I spent a little more than a third of what other salons were asking and walked out with a smile! I’ll definitely be coming back for the next wedding!

Pretty good haircut place. I think Raymond is the best at this location though. He generally tries to cut your hair the way you want it with a stylist touch. If it’s not what you imagined, he will fix it. He’s pretty meticulous about his hair cutting and I think he’s the best in this location. The rest of the stylists are just below average for the most part. Some are just above, but Raymond is definitely better than the rest. The main reason is the attentiveness. He’s by far the most requested so if you’re not there first thing in the morning, try to make an appointment. His passion to make it look right most of the time and attention to detail is why people like him.
Price: Mens — $ 12, I generally tip $ 3 to make it an even $ 15.

I love Tina. She has been cutting my hair for around 10 years and I know I’m going to have trouble trusting anybody else with my hair. Even though sometimes she cuts a little more than I ask her to, it’s always for the best. Plus something about the way she cuts hair makes it grow out looking really good. She’s also styled my hair for me before, and puts a lot of care into it. Anyway she’s the greatest!
I know Raymond is also really popular, too.
