I am one of the pickiest clients when it comes to hair stylists. My ex used to be a stylist in…read moreBeverly Hills, so the bar has been pretty high for many years. I used to drive from San Jose to SF every time I got my hair cut at Bao Bao on Market when I first moved up from LA. After I grew tired of the traffic getting into SF during weekday mornings, I started scouting some local South Bay salons for a suitable replacement. I found a place called Kittiez. At some point, the name of the business was changed to K-Studio and the owner Kayla moved on to other ventures. I continued going back because there were still a couple stylists there that I trusted with my hair. They moved from their El Camino and Fair Oaks location to Salon Republic off of Murphy Ave in downtown Sunnyvale. It's all about the stylist, and in this case, I've been getting my hair cut by Paulina for a few years now and I've always been pleased with the results. She's super nice and down-to-earth. It is a bit hard to make an appointment on short notice, usually need at least 2-4 days in advance. This is because there are only two stylists working there at this point. But if you know this ahead of time when you book your appointment, you shouldn't be disappointed.

It's tough to find a good barber in the Bay area…read more So many barbers seem to think that a fade means shaving your entire side, or that a taper means to only clean up the lines on your sides and back. I've tried more expensive barbershops like 18|8 but was still unsatisfied with the results. Then I found Ann. Ann is awesome. She consistently cuts my hair well and remembers my style. She even offers suggestions on different ways that I can change my hairstyle. I'm very happy with her and the general haircut is still cheaper than places like 18|8 or Paradox Barbers. I highly recommend her if you're in the Bay and need a nice cut.

Tons of numbered photos with different hair styles. I've seen several customers just point at photo or say the number. *SERVICE* Most of the stylists are good. Just let them know how you want your hair to be cut. There will be inconsistencies. Again, a cheap hair salon so don't come in with high expectations.

Pricing is pretty good here too, but it's cash only. Usually haircuts are first come first serve type so you need to wait a little bit. I usually just get my head shaved with a 0 cut so I'm in and out pretty fast. The really nice thing about this place is that they're open on Sundays, and they have a lot of people available to cut hair, so if you're in a pinch, you could definitely get your haircut here. Love this place!

She always listens to what I want, gives great advice tailored to my hair type and lifestyle, and delivers consistently amazing results. Her cuts and styling last so well, and my hair always feels healthy and looks fresh. Beyond the skills, Ruby is genuinely friendly, warm, and makes every appointment feel like catching up with a good friend. She remembers little details from past visits, which makes the experience personal and fun. In a world where it's hard to find someone you can trust with your hair for the long haul, Ruby is that rare gem. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality work and a positive vibe. Thank you, Ruby--you're the best! ‍

I had been growing my hair long for ~2 years so hadn't had a haircut since then, and before that…read morehad been happy with a $15 buzz-cut from any random stylist. Well, around comes wedding day and it was strongly suggested that I get a "real" haircut, and I lucked into Yessica's chair. Best haircut I've ever had, probably got about 10 compliments of people specifically mentioning my haircut, which has never in my life happened. Only problem is now I'm an addict so have to make another appointment with her. :-)

During my last appointment, which was in the evening, one of the barbers was running late. Even though Karthik was heading out for the night, he unpacked all of his tools and gave me a great haircut.

I also really appreciate that they offer later appointment times, which makes it convenient to stop by after work.
