DeBe Salon

Told them specifically not to shave the side of my hair and I look up one second later and half of it is gone before I knew what happened.
I would’ve stopped her but it was TOO LATE :(
I thought when I said «don’t shave the side» her bringing out the razor would only trim a little.
I guess it was my fault for not speaking up sooner but how was I supposed to guess they were going to do the exact OPPOSITE of what I specially asked for. Wahoo!
Pretty unlucky.
Now I can look like a bald Chinese man for my business presentation.
…
Should have checked the reviews before I went. 4 star average is pretty deceiving.

A small salon in Marina Market plaza. They are great because they let me make a last minute appointment, on a Monday, too!
The interior is really cool too, they had some real chalk decorations on the walls. They also have a candy bar, etc…
Tracey was was my stylist, and she s very nice and professional. However, I was not very thrilled with the outcome, may be I didn’t communicate my needs?
One big concern for me was the cleanliness of the place… wish it was cleaner…

This lady literally just chopped off all my hair I asked for 1 inch trim my hair reached my lower back not it barely reaches my shoulder then she had the nerve to ask for a tip

My first time here, I called and scheduled a hair cut for the same day with Tracy. She’s super sweet, and gave me exactly what I asked for. My hair was long, dry and a mess. She shortened my hair and gave me tons of texture. She even nailed my pesky bangs perfectly. I’ll definitely be back thanks again!

Came to see Tracy for a cut and color/​lowlights. She did a great job and is so friendly! Prices are reasonable and scheduling is easy

It was my first time here. Jay was simply fantastic. She was patient and gave me a great hair cut and also lots of styling tips.

My first time here and I am very happy with the result! Tracy is very skilful and always has great recommendation.
FYI this place is pricey though. They charge me haircuts plus coloring, around 200 in total. But you get what you pay for.

I think her name is «Jae». Im writing this on behalf of my girlfriend who is too nice to write a negative review. Jay asked if she wanted her hair straight or curled, without any mention as to added price for either option. My girlfriend has never been charged for getting her hair merely curled at the end of a haircut, so she opted for that option. At the end of the haircut, Jay charges her a $ 25 «styling fee» for the curled hair that will wash out tonight. This, in my opinion is a bait and switch tactic, saying it is a merely curling, and then charging for a full styling fee.
On top of that, the barber asks her that if she wants to tip, tell her now. My girlfriend already being upset at being overcharged, but again, too nice of a person, told her verbally the amount of tip. Let the customer write down what tip they want to give! Don’t ask them to verbally state the amount thus putting pressure on the customer to put more.
The actions of Jay or Jae or however you spell her name reflect very poorly on this establishment, and I hope people are warned that if she asks you if you want you hair curled, expect a $ 25 charge on top of your regular haircut. This will not be told to you in advance.
I understand that this could have been avoided if you stand up for yourself, but some people are not willing to do that, and if you don’t want to argue about added unnecessary charges to your haircut, please do not come here.

Tracy did a fantabulous job with my hair. I had no idea as to how to go about with styling and how much should my hair length. She advised me based on my face type, hair texture, etc. the haircut was soooo good. I loved my hair. She makes you look more pretty, good ambience. Hereafter she is my go to hair person!!! she did my husband hair too.!she gave the correct look for my hubby which I haven seen since a loong time!!! hats off to you. Keep up the good work. And thank you again!.

I’ve been coming here to cut my haircuts from Joanne since I was a freshman in high school. I’m 22 now! I still remember at my first visit with my mom, I brought in a picture of a Hong Kong television star as my haircut reference. A bit embarrassed about that but it worked out in the end. Both my mom and I have been with Joanne since the beginning now. She has seen and done all my haircuts — long, bob, pixie and now back to a medium length with bangs.
A bit pricey but that’s what you get at a lot of salons. Debe Salon at least gives you what you pay for.
The shop got a fresh little update to their front desk wall maybe a year ago? It looks super cool because it’s chalk/​painted on with a hip little timeline of their salon history.
I’m very easygoing and patient so sometimes I do have to wait past my appointment time. Not a problem because there’s a couch and a few chairs with a lot of magazines nearby to flip through. Don’t come here if you’re looking to be completely catered to though. Service isn’t always exactly… welcoming? Especially when walking in at first and waiting for someone to acknowledge you (usually staff is busy or taking care of something in the back). But the staff also doesn’t purposely put anyone off. They’re still friendly and helpful. I’m just there to get my hair done and get out, so I don’t have a problem with that!

My first time here at Debe Salon. Tracy did an excellent job. She knew exactly what she was doing and did it really well! The ambience is nice and relaxing. Definitely coming back here!

Tracy is an absolute life saver! After getting a horrible highlight/​lowlight job at another salon, I called DeBe Salon to see if I could come in to have them correct it. I was introduced to Tracy and she saw me the same day. She completely fixed my hair and made it as natural looking as possible! I am new to the Bay Area and it is hard enough to find someone to trust with your hair and I definitely trust Tracy! She is such a doll. I cannot wait to go back to her.

I made an appointment via phone and was able to book one on the same day. I went to the plaza to get to the salon, and I had to really hunt for a parking spot because it was really busy on a Saturday. It’s forgivable, since it’s a small plaza.
I got there and noticed the really pretty black board with all the pricing and names of the ladies. The place looked really clean and open.
The lady, Yoshiko, who was supposed to cut my hair was still attending someone so I had to wait for about 10 minutes. She gave me magazines to look through for hair style ideas. When she was done with her client, she sat me and I told her that I want long layering and to make my hair look thin. She didn’t wash my hair but went straight to spraying my hair with water. I guess it’s not customary to wash hair for a hair cut?
When she was done, she gave me a mirror to look at the back of my hair. I told her it was fine, but I should’ve told her that it was not what I was looking for. It just looked like she gave me a straight cut. Needless to say, I was just disappointed but wanted to get out of there because it seemed like she wanted to eat lunch and her friend was there waiting for her.
When I was paying, I went to feel about my hair and saw that there were long strands that weren’t cut at all. I told her and she went to cut it off and started looking at other parts of my hair. My haircut was definitely not worth $ 50.
I’m not coming back here.

I had an appointment at 5:50pm and its 6:55pm and I am still not in a seat. When I came in Tracy was coloring someone’s hair and didn’t look anywhere near done. I asked how long it would take and she said 10 mins. I didnt question that because I figured she would know better than me. WRONG. Dude if you are running behind just tell me the truth so I can re assess whether I want to leave. Don’t waste my time.
Update: I actually liked my haircut, so updating my review from 1-​star for the horrible waiting experience to 2-​stars cause the haircut was good. HOWEVER, I really should have gotten MORE than a $ 4 – 5 discount for an over hour wait!!! That’s not even half of «minimum wage» ugh

Tracy is an absolute sweetheart. I get my hair cut, dyed, and highlighted by her on whatever occasion it be. I always recommend people to her because she just does an excellent job. I’ve had my hair cut by others here but I’ve stuck to Tracy the most. The atmosphere is nice with a variety of music in the salon. Plenty of magazines to read as well.
I would highly recommend this salon for it’s the one I’ve stuck with the longest and I definitely recommend Tracy if you want to look and feel wonderful!

I am very impressed by Debe Salon.
Tracy does a fabulous job with hair coloring and styling!

I am so happy I found this place. I was looking for a place to get my hair dyed on a Monday afternoon, so most places were closed. I called to make an appointment for that day in the morning and they were able to see me later that afternoon. The receptionist was really was awesome and very accommodating. Tracy was the one that did my hair, she was great! I should her some pictures of what I wanted and she was able to do exactly what I wanted for a great price! I would definitely be back! :)

I have had my hair cut thrice and each time the results have been inconsistent. The last time I was there, was a real nightmare as Debe was in a rush to leave and pretty much took it out on my hair. She didn’t even wash or blow dry it like usual and virtually butchered my hair, as a result my short bob looked uneven and choppy.
She was aware of my displeasure and asked me to come back if it needed to be fixed. I will have to grow it out for a couple of months before it even looks half decent. Their prices are reasonable but the service is pretty lackluster and the salon itself isn’t Debe’s main business and that reflects in their apathy. I really wanted to give them a chance but after last time’s fiasco, I won’t be going back here. Alas!My never ending search for a good hair salon in Foster City continues…

I have been going to debe salon for many years now. Tracy is excellent and she Does the best hair extensions in the Bay Area ! I travel a lot and by far this salon is the best.
I have tried getting extensions done elsewhere NYC, chicago etc with different stylists but each time I could tell the difference … The way my head would hurt or cheap quality extensions. Tracy does an excellent job in hair extensions and also the quality of her products be it color or extensions.
Tracy is excellent and words cannot describe her rare talent of transforming your hair into a work of art. Hair extensions, color or cut she absolutely rocks! Highly recommended!!!

Can I give them 0 stars?
Just returned from my non-​appointment from Debe Salon.
Had appointment @ 10 AM and stylist (Joanne) was a no-​show.
Can I come back at 11 AM, really? Are you seriously going to ask me that???
Lost a customer for good for terrible first impression.
Was going to try to this on a recommendation, but should have read the reviews.
If you check the low star reviews, most are made b/​c of no-​show or last minute reschedules by stylists and poor customer service, which I can also attest to.
Not a way to run a business at all.
So think twice or double confirm before making an appointment!!!
