Fashion Cuts

I absolutely love this place. Very clean, friendly ladies.
I have a hard time finding the perfect salon, price doesn’t really matter its the finished product and customer service that matters to me.
Their pricing did worry me a little as in «I hope my hair isn’t cut off a lot» we ALL have had this experience before and know it sucks to have your hair a lot shorter than you asked whether its a trim or a haircut.
Well, this place knows what they’re doing. I came in with the intention of a trim and style (straighten) my hair is naturally straight at top and the rest is wavy. My hair was badly damaged by the bleach (my hair is blue) and I wanted to get the ends cut off. Keep in mind my hair is thick and past shoulder length it has taken me forever to even get it this long, I took hair pills recently and had not dyed my hair for months so imagine my worry of just simply getting a trim.
She did as stated in some reviews use a clipper but she does know how to use it. Within minutes she made my hair look like it was never bleached. She cut off all the dead hair and still managed to keep my hair style as well as the length (happily surprised). Unfortunately/​happily did not style my hair. She complimented my natural hair and I won’t lie, I always have insecurities about natural hair but she made me feel like a million dollars walking out that door with natural hair.
She even gave me some free samples of hair products. For $ 25 I’m extremely happy.
I will say that prices all VARY, even though the sign says $ 20 for haircuts it is actually + so expect to pay a little more. It is worth every penny.
You can count on me to be a regular now.

This review is long overdue! I came in here about a month ago for a hair cut, and this is definitely now my «go to» hair salon. It’s tough to find a hair dresser who is quick and efficient but also an amazing stylist who is a quality professional. Kathy listened to what I wanted, but also gave me advice on what would look best. Her suggestion looks great, and I will definitely have her do the same cut next time. Thanks Kathy!

I bring my son here all the time for his haircuts ever since he was 8 now he is 16 and he just love the ladies here. They are so friendly and accommodating. They do a great job and I would recommend them not only for men boys but also women as they do nails and pedicures too.

I had a gentleman style and wanted to trim it shorter, the lady cut it shorter without keeping my style, she spent only 5 minutes on my hair and asked me for $ 18. My wife said my hair style is so ugly so I had to go to another hair salon next day to fix it.

Basic. Fast. Cheap. Made an appointment that day. Wanted a quick haircut (little time for a working mom). Kathy cut my hair in 15 min. Probably not for everybody but I appreciated the quickness. Shoulder length hair with minimal layers. Happy with it. $ 30. :)

I had and awesome experience at Fashion Cuts. Kathy is such a friendly and talented lady. She is really profesional and she knows what she is doing. She listens to what you want. I highly recommend it. She totally rocks !

I just recently just moved to the apartment near the salon and didn’t want to drive far so I went on Unilocal to find the nearest hair salon. I gave this place a try. I was pleasantly pleased the staff was friendly and the salon was clean. Kathy took her time with my hair and my hair turns out beautiful.

I drove by this place a few times and finally decide to give it a try. Staffs was super friendly and place is bright and clean. The wait was 15mins to get my haircut. My cosmetologist took her time and I was very please with the result. I’ll definitely be a regular. Price is very reasonable.

Absolutely terrible and dirty! If you want layers or any haircut DO NOT go there! The worst hair cut I’ve had so far!

If you want layers this NOT the place to come ladies. I paid $ 25 for a trim and bang cut. They didn’t even style my hair so I could see the difference. Kathy did not even spend 5 minutes on my hair. I did not leave satified. At all. This place seems more for mature men’s haircuts rather than a full salon for women. I felt like she rushed when when a regular client walked in and asked how long the wait would be.

I don’t think I’ve ever been 0.0 miles away from a place. This place was across driveways. The lady was very nice to my 7 year old son who brought a picture of the haircut he wanted. It wasn’t horrible but she kept spraying the comb. I think it was hairspray. Between that, the water, and the gel; his hair looked soaking wet for 5 hours later. Not really like the picture. I thought the back and sides were pretty good but I thought the top and bangs could have been better. I asked my son if he liked it and he said yes. I just let it go because it wasn’t bad and I’m sure it will be fine when I comb it tomorrow. This was his before school haircut. It was $ 12 for a #3 shave all around and a small faux hawk in front. He was very excited about his lollipop. I debated between 2 and 3 stars. I may try again with it being so close and she was so nice. If you are worried about a perfect cut, I would caution you. If you want friendly service who obviously want to take good care of you, then give them a try. I think if I would have spoke up more she would have done whatever I asked. Two ladies were getting pretty amazing pedicures while we were in there.

Kathy and her daughter Van are wonderful. They are so warm and friendly. Kathy is the owner. She is so positive and has a great attitude. Prices are very reasonable. This is a great place for men and kids and/​or if you’d like to just walk-​in and get a quick hair-​cut. You will never be turned away and they’re fast! They will help you on the spot! If you’re expecting a fancy salon with high prices and tons of services this is not the place for you.

Van is great. she is polite and professional. I’ve been there 4 times and have got what I precisely had in mind every single time. Very consistent and clean. Thank you Van!

Cathy was great!!! Will definitely be going back for future cuts. I am very happy and pleased with my short hair.

This was my first time coming here. They’ve been in that plaza for 6 years but somehow I’ve never noticed before.
Cathy was the one who cut my hair and she was super nice. She just gives off a warm and happy vibe and as she was cutting my hair, she kept asking if it looked okay or if I wanted any adjustments. My hair is very hard to cut because it’s kinda curly with a lot of cowlicks.
I was in and out of there in about 15 minutes with a great haircut and the price is very reasonable too. I would definitely recommend coming here to all the guys out there.

This is my second time coming here & I am so happy with my wash & cut! I would definitely recommend getting your hair cut here. I was a walk in & had no ideas on style other than cut it off. .she listened, suggested a style, & cut it perfectly!

She was a nice person, but she cut my hair way too short, even after I told her a FEW times that I only want to trim a TINY bit! I was very upset! My hair looks ok, but is NOT what I wanted! Arghhh… It’s way too short!!! I feel so bad. I WON’T COME BACK!

I’ve known Kathy all my life. She was the first person to cut my hair as a child and she’s never done me wrong. She moved from her last location five years ago luckily closer to where I live. What ever cut you’d like, she’ll be able to complete with great speed and style. She also does nails and hair color very well but I’m not much into to that stuff. What you can expect when coming into fashion cuts is a short wait and a great haircut.

Was skeptical the minute I parked. I sat in the car a few minutes contemplating whether or not I wanted to give this a try knowing it was going to blow. And it did. This is not a place for younger men looking for a fresh clean hair cut. Being your kids or your grandpa, that’s about it. Clueless on how to cut men’s hair. I have a simple 1 all around, taper in the back, and lined up at the top. They didn’t know how to fade and they sure as heck don’t do straight razor, which is a must these days. If your in your teens, twenties or thirties steer clear. And take your $ 15 do precision cutz, 100x better.

Please note that I’m writing this review after having had my hair cut at this shop for the first time.
I think I’ve finally found the ideal barber shop for me. (Well, it actually is a hair salon as well.) I won’t say it’s the best barber shop I’ve ever patronized, but when considering all factors, it’s the clear front-​runner. Proximity is important to me, and this shop is very close to home. It’s in a commercial area — just a block northeast of Almaden Expwy. and Blossom Hill Road in south San Jose — that’s convenient to many men on their weekday commute or when heading to Costco or Oakridge Mall on weekends. It fronts on Almaden Expwy., but is not directly accessed off the expressway. You need to turn east from northbound Almaden onto Foxchase Drive, the final street before the expressway on-​ramp to southbound 85, then hang an immediate right into a private parking lot that serves a mini strip mall.
Van (I think that’s her name) is sweet and cut my hair to near-​perfection. She intently listened to my expectations, and the completed haircut was to my liking.
I prefer barbers who strike a balance between friendliness and a respect for my «down time.» By that I mean: I don’t visit a barber shop to talk about whatever subject might be of interest to the barber or what he/​she thinks might be of interest to me. The appointment is time to get a terrific haircut in a relaxing environment, with me reading a magazine or zoning out after a hectic day, and the barber being courteous and respecting my desire to converse or not converse while I’m on the chair.
The cost was reasonable. It’s $ 12 for a men’s haircut, which (based on previous Unilocal reviews) is the same as it was a couple years ago.
A final positive note about this establishment. There was NO wait. The other barber/​stylist, Kathy (who’s received positive reviews on Unilocal), was working on another customer when I entered the shop. Van was available to take me immediately … and did. I appreciated the quick service; I imagine most men would as well.
Based on all of the above, Van — and Fashion Cuts, as a whole — deserve 5 stars. I highly recommend this barber shop.
