One of my aunties, my mom's friend, recommended this salon while I was researching salons to go get a reasonably-priced haircut at. I called to inquire about haircuts, and got Mai on the phone. Booked a Thursday afternoon with her. It was $50 for women's haircut. It was $160-ish (I can't remember the price, but somewhere in that ballpark) if I wanted a balayage. I went with just a haircut. I went in wanting a butterfly cut. Mai consulted me on how she would cut it, and even though it was a bit shorter than what she said it would be, it was fine, as I wanted to go just below shoulder-length. I have waist-length hair that had been permed nearly 2 years earlier, so the bottom half of my hair kind of has a wavy/slightly curly texture, and the top of my hair was kind of flat and heavy. Now that I'm a Master's student while also working full-time, it was time for a more manageable hair length and style while pursuing my studies. My boyfriend said, "I love it! You look gorgeous and sexy!" He's my boyfriend, so that was incredibly sweet of him to see. My mother, who can be hyper-critical and blunt, praised the haircut, saying it looks really pretty, the hairstylist did a great job. If she's praising my haircut, then I know Mai did a great job! read more

Mai is the person I always see but it's been a while since I've been back since COVID. Service always fast Monday morning when they first open but never impressed with the quality of the cuts. Never help to fade and cuts are outdated from my father's era. Prices are also high for what you get. read more

My first time here and I'm so impressed! The salon is incredibly clean, and the hair wash was so relaxing. I absolutely love how Tracy cut my hair. She was so detailed and professional, and on top of that, she was just the sweetest person. I am so happy with the result! read more

guy with the blond hair messed up my hair. worst place ever to get a haircut they don't understand I literally even said it in Chinese these people don't understand what a trim is. I asked for a trim and they thinned My hair so much with thinning scissors. My hair looks uneven and flat. The top looks thick while the bottom looks thin. If you're not gonna listen to your clients don't even do the job. $45 dollars is crazy and what's crazier is that the haircut was one of the worst and I could get so much better with less the price.

Beautiful color and cut done by May! She was attentive and did a great job mixing this tone of red. I told her I didn't want a bright red-- just a natural color-- and she exceeded my expectations. She's very friendly, sweet, and made me comfortable throughout the whole process. She continuously checked in with me to make sure I liked it and if I was doing alright. If you're looking to get a haircut and color your hair, this is your sign to book an appointment with May! read more

I've been going here for about two years now and I love them. The people are so nice and friendly. The environment is welcoming and clean. I normally get my nails done from Ann or Ri. They both go amazing work. My girl Ri will have you set. She did my birthday nails and I walked in with no clue what I wanted but she worked with me and got me right. Every professional. read more

Ann's Salon - First time getting my hair bleached and colored many years ago - Hair Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

Pretty nice hair salon, I've come here probably 4-5 times since it opened. I want to say that I've had different hair dressers every time. The owner Ann did my straight perm back in 2012. Which was pretty good, lasted longer than 1 year but the process was sooooooo long. Around 6-7 hours. Jade cut my hair as well, she was good. A bit more worried about if she was doing okay or not so she didn't really cut much of my hair. Eason on the other hand, he was super into what he was doin. I went in with long hair and wanted to do an A-line but not exactly sure how exactly I wanted it. And he basically just took what I told him and did what he could. AMAZING. The thing is he took his time to do it, instead of rushing. Which was super appreciated! I totally recommend Eason! read more

I can honestly say I've had better haircuts for $7. Writing a review for another salon reminded me of my terrible experience at this salon. I was recommended this place by two of my Chinese friends. Also, it's pretty strange looking at the other reviews seeing all the one stars vs. the five stars. I went to this salon a few years ago with my mom. Let's talk about the price. I got a haircut with my long hair and they charged $80. I was so shocked. My mom got a trim and they charged her $50. On top of that, the service was god-awful. The worst I've ever had. One person was available to cut my hair. A few minutes into it, he left without saying a word. The hair was still clipped so that all of my hair was in my face. He took a smoke break in the middle of my haircut. He came back smelling terrible. This was not worth $80 at all. I actually saw him a few days ago taking a smoke break outside of the salon, so he's still working there. read more

Pandemic Review I was coming here on a regular basis before and during the pandemic. Once restrictions were loosened, I reached out to my usual May to have my haircut. Haircuts are in the $25 range, but they do the usual hair wash as well as cut. The people in the front desk are very nice and while they don't speak much English, it's easy enough to communicate and wait for your haircut. I can't speak for the other stylists, but May is very accommodating and very easy to communicate with for your hair needs. It is greatly recommended to get your stylists number to set up an appointment as it is more convenient. Be aware though that they do accept walk-ins, but you may be left waiting due to an appointment. Parking for this place is plentiful as the plaza is huge and it's next to a Safeway. I would recommend going or coming in the morning as it would be easier to avoid the major rush for Safeway. read more

I decided to get a new hair style this year instead of my normal trim so I was a bit nervous about how it would turn out. Plus it is my first time getting it done by Tracy. But Tracy did a really good job on my hair and I love it !! She's so nice and easy to converse with as well. I'll be sure to request for her next time! Super happy with my experience here! read more

I have been in this place for few times. It's okay to me because it's nearby my house. Don't have any surprise until this visit when I meet Jade. I just showed her a picture with my expected short hair and style then I close my eyes. 20 minutes later, it's amazing Jade did exactly what I expected and without any questions during the process. read more

Zero Star Review I felt I got sexual harassment. So a male hair stylist cut my hair for me (the one in his middle age, about 40+?). We both speak Cantonese, I guess that is why he thinks he can just say whatever to me? So here are two conversations that make me feel aweful: 1. he: hey, you know what, I think you are very pretty, but you are just too short. me: ?????????? he: don't get mad. I am telling the truth. 2. he: did you do your makeup yourself? me:eh, yes? he: ok, you got a pass grade on your makeup. Not bad. Hmmm there are also other coversations like he said he wanted to cook me something to eat. It just made me feel so weird and uncomfortable. I don't know why he think he can judge my height, my look? It is not your business if i'm too short or what (yes, im not all, only 5' 1, but so what?) How dare him say sth this rude to his customers! And I am a bit scared at that time as he was holding his scissors and cutting my hair near my ears. I don't know. This is disgusting. This is terrible. I just hate it. I will never return. For other ladies out there, be awared. read more

I was so up sad with my hair cut and it made me look so terrible. My coworkers thought I did it myself... Too much layering and uneven on the back. I can't explain how awful it is. I don't want to look at the mirror anymore. read more

Horrible horrible horrible service. I wanted to do balayage but not one of those employee can speak english at all. So they don't understand what i want. So i took my bf go with me and do hair coloring. The service is totally suck why? They bleached my hair. But they bad part is he bleached whole my root a whole time and put almost 3 hrs in there. My scalp burnt but no one give a fuck or care. I did let them know my scalp burning and want them be careful when wash my hair. But that guy just do rough way anyway. Cause all my scalp serious damage and bleeding. The whole process took me more than 10 in 2 days. And they didn't do the color as you ask for. And leave your hair with 3 colors. How am i going to work to this fucking awful hair and they don't even offer discount or anything and charge $450 for 2 heads. Couple week laters, my scalp won't stop bleeding and cause damage bald on my head First and second pictures was first day (undone) have to come back the next day Last picture after a week. It costed me more than 20.000$ for medical. I am going to send them my lawyer letter read more

My sister and I just got a haircut here, both left very satisfied! My hair wasn't cut any shorter than I wanted and all my unhealthy, dry, split-end hair was cut off and I ended up with a perfect blunt straight cut, exactly what I asked for. My sister got a bob haircut and really liked that the stylist left it so that it would look good from any part. Great, friendly service, will come here again when I need a trim. read more

Ann's Salon - super blunt haircut, exactly what I asked for! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

I left this salon feeling deceived. While waiting there, I asked the woman at the front desk about the haircut price. She said $35 for women, and $40 with hair wash. So one guy asked me to skip someone who had been waiting in front of me. I felt awful. The guy asked me not to care about him! Then he cut my hair really fast and dragged my hair so often as he was rushing to finish it. Not nice. The worst part is the guy charged me $40 instead of $35, claiming that my hair needed to be super short to pay $35. I was too kind to leave him the amount of tip he does not deserve. I don't see what's good about this salon. I still feel bad about it, won't go back and don't recommend it. read more

I swear the young man who couldn't speak or understand a lick of English wasn't a licensed beautician! He had no clue what he was doing! I kept having to stop him, explain to the owner what we wanted her hair to look like, and in the end we just accepted it and left not too happy! We had to get it cut properly and one of the cheap chains nearby to get a proper cut! read more

I can honestly say this was the worst cut I've ever received. I asked for 2 inches off but May cut at least 4 inches. My hair was waist length when I walked in and shoulder length when I walked out. It was twice as short as I asked. I don't know if she messed up and kept cutting or if she just wanted to do her own thing?? When I told her it was too short she kept going telling me it was okay and my head would feel lighter, but that's not what I asked for. On top of that, she cut it all uneven and choppy. Some of my layers are longer in the front and shorter in the back. At this point they're no longer layers, they're just uneven. It was so bad I had to go to another salon to fix it. May completed disregarded what I asked her to do and gave me a very choppy cut. read more

Being a picky patron of hair salons, I have no hesitation to recommend Ann. She has kept up with the trendy looks for my family members for over 10 years! Great job, Ann! read more

I always find myself going back to Ann for my haircuts. My hair is super particular, where it's wavy in the inner layers of my hair and it's not pretty. Ann tends to remember that and cuts accordingly based on that. My layers are always so pretty. I always bring a ton on questions in when I go to Ann's and she always patiently explains it me to. Highly recommend! read more

Jade has now been doing my hair for a year. I love how she cut my hair the first and when she trims it to maintain the cut I want. I showed a picture and she was spot on to my expectations. I like watching her cutting my hair because it looks so artistic. She is a lovely lady but doesn't engage in conversation, especially at first. Now that she has known me we do the usual salutations which I'm fine with. When the stylist talks too much they then to not pay attention to what they are doing, so no conversations is fine with me. I'm always happy when I leave with my cut or trim. She also does a great job of coloring my hair. She also did a special hot oil treat on my hair and I was very pleased. In fact it's time to see her again real soon! Thank you Jade for making feel and look beautiful read more

I came in to get my hair dyed. I chose the color light brown which in their book was like a caramel blonde. I have dark hair and I understood it takes time to process to blonde however by time she processed my hair for the 3rd time, some of my hair was already starting to fall out. She processed it one more time and each time it was still an uneven color. It was hidden when she straightened my hair, however when I got home and looked at it. It was uneven all the way through. It cost $200 for an uneven blonde. I would not recommend. read more

I came here to get my hair cut short as a last minute decision and I am so in love with how it turned out!! May did such as good job, she gave me exactly what I wanted.

not a great place for a haircut especially how expensive it is. I could legit find a better hair salon that doesn't cost less than $35 for an haircut. Let's talk about why I'm giving this a one star. The person who cut my hair made a cut on my skin!!! I was extremely pissed off. It was lady name Jade I believe who cut my hair bad and she's rude when I asked her to cut this part of my hair and she gave me an attitude problem. After I just left didn't pay tips and never coming back there again. read more
