    Great value for a $14 haircut! My go to is Thu (Two). Her days off are Wed and Fri. I've been here only twice and she already remembers how I like my hair cut! This is my new regular barber now!!!! Note: $15 minimum for credit card charge Pay cash and give them the extra $1!

    Pricing for services. 4-26-25

    Nice, clean cut with great attention to detail. The price is reasonable and the service is excellent! They played country music.

    Cali's Perfect Cuts, had an amazing experience!

    Was not sure how this would go, not a lot of places take me in because of how much Jaír I have but they did. The experience was amazing, they took there time to made sure my hair cut was good.

    I have been to this place twice to get my haircut, and i had a terrible experience on my each visit, At my first visit, a middle age Vietnamese guy gave me a haircut. When he was done with my haircut. I asked, how much i owed him. He told me that, "men haircut is $9 dollars, but since you are paying with your debit card I will charge you additional 50 cents." I was OK with that, and asked him to charge me additional 2 dollars as a tip. I have eye problems, and I didn't have my glasses with me. I trusted him, entered my pin# and confirmed the transactions. when I got back home checked the receipt, and my bank statement. I noticed that he charged me additional $3.5 dollars. So, instead of charging me $11.50 he charged me $15 dollars. I was having a good day, didn't want to go back there and embarrassed him front of other people, or call the police to file a claim against him etc. So, I said to myself i will not tip this guy from now on. About 6 weeks later from the incident (which is yesterday. I went there again to get a hair cut, but this time the thieve was not there. Instead, I let another Asian(Viet) lady to cut my hair. I told her I wanna get a fade haircut, and explained her how short I wanted. What she did was, she did sides, and back flat #3 and the top she cut unevenly. The top hair range from 1-4 inches. Unfortunately, I was not able to take a picture of my hair because right after her I went to another hair salon to get my hair fixed. I know there are few other people works in this place. I don't want to blame everyone here. But just in case, if you get a haircut from this place, avoid the Asian guy, or if you have no choice just pay him the exact amount $9 dollars, Don't tip him. He doesn't deserve any tip. Since he likes to steal from people. Never use your credit card info with him. You never know. If he can steal $3.5 dollars, that means he can steal more. And the other lady I will attach her picture here, try not to get a haircut from her. She will mess up your hair. She Does not know how to cut hair.

    Botched neck line that they intentionally hid until I left.

    I've been trying to find a decent, reasonably priced barber in the Milpitas/north SJ area and decided to try Cali's earlier this week. Won't be going back. It's very tight inside - I showed up on a weekday around 4PM and it was packed. But they move very quickly. There were two staff doing regular haircuts and I was fourth in line. They got to me in about 20 minutes. While I was waiting, I noticed that none of the staff seemed to be cleaning up or doing any sanitization between hair cuts. The scissors that just cut the little kid's hair go right to a counter top and then right into your hair. Same with clippers, guards, and the stylists hands. They also don't really sweep the floors it seems - there is hair ALL OVER the floor. Gross. My hair was cut by a Vietnamese guy - the only male employee that I saw. He worked very quickly, adjusted what I asked to have changed, and showed me his work in the mirror. I didn't notice until the next day when my wife called it out, that he was super careful to only let me see one side of the back at a time. It's because he totally screwed it up! When I thought back about how he showed me the back of my neck was when I realized how he manipulated that situation. Basically he must have slipped with the clippers and buzzed the right side of the back of my hairline by about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. You can see that he knew he screwed up because he straightened it out so it's one clean line, but it is NOT symmetrical at all, and once my natural hair line starts to grow back in I'm going to have a weird section of really short hairs on one side of my neck where he buzzed it. They never should have charged me for this cut. They never should have hidden that he jacked up my hair. You gotta own up to it when you screw up at work - especially when a patron is paying you. I only give an extra star because the hair cuts are very affordable - $9 all up. So yea, I guess go here if you want to flip a coin that your hair gets totally jacked up and you won't know about it.

    Recommend Loan or Thuy for women hair cut. Affordable price as well, $22-$25. Call for appointments in advance would be best.

    Inflated Pricing, Poor Haircut, and Zero Accountability…read more I came in for a haircut and a single-process color and was significantly overcharged. After getting home, I reviewed the pricing on your website and realized the charges did not align with your posted rates. I was charged $230 for color for a basic, all-over brown, single-process service. There was nothing corrective, custom, or advanced about it. Your website clearly lists full color at $150, making this an unjustified $80 upcharge. I was also charged $60 for a haircut that amounted to little more than a trim, despite your website listing haircuts at $55. Even worse, the haircut itself was poorly executed. The stylist did not use straight shears at all and relied exclusively on thinning shears at the ends, leaving my hair uneven, wispy, and visibly damaged. The result looks unprofessional and careless--my hair genuinely looked better before the appointment. I contacted the salon directly to give them the opportunity to address this privately and resolve the issue. They chose not to respond. That lack of professionalism and accountability is extremely concerning, especially given the clear discrepancy between the pricing charged and the pricing advertised. Between the inflated charges, the substandard quality of the work, and the complete lack of response, I was overcharged by $85 for a service that fell far below acceptable standards. This experience reflects deceptive pricing practices and a disregard for customer satisfaction. I would strongly caution others to verify pricing and think carefully before booking.

She took me into her chair and asked me what I wanted. I told her my hair was dead (I was previously blonde then went brunette and just got tired of my hair breaking from brushing my hair) I told her I wanted a medium length, straight blunt cut. She listened to my concerns and even had suggestions on how to take better care of my hair. She then washed my hair and started snipping away. She cut it medium length and last minute I wanted to cut it shoulder length LOL. I just wanted to start all over again as my hair grows pretty fast anyways. She was so sweet and didn't even mind that I wanted to cut more off last minute. When I tell you she took her time with my hair, she took her time! My was so easy to talk to that it felt like I knew her forever. I can honestly say that I'll be back to see her for all future hair cuts and trim touch-ups! Like just LOOK at my hair, she did absolutely amazing and I feel amazing. Thank you My for blessing my hair and I!

    I'm a little conflicted leaving this review because Joy was very lovely to talk to, but the…read moreexperience fell way short of what I was expecting, and the conversations with the manager Chris was worse. Based on previous reviews, looks like this has happened before. (First photo being the reference I showed). What I requested: warm balayage with lighter front pieces in the fronts to face frame. The issue here was that I had noticed that the highlights were a bit too brassy/yellow for my liking. There were some awkward highlight chunks, and none of the lighter pieces at the front that I had requested. I was honestly was willing to overlook it, but for $485 I figured I could just reach out to them the next day and see if maybe we could get rid of the yellow tones. They said they could squeeze me in, free of charge. Excellent. However, when Joy saw me and did note the brassiness, she said we could tone it down. I also requested those face framing lighter pieces as I had requested initially, but she said she didn't have time for it since they were squeezing me in. Fair enough. The end result however honestly left me to tears. This wasn't a balayage anymore. This was how I basically walked into the salon from the start. She accidentally went too dark, but reassured me that after three washes it will go back to the original as we had started. I get that, but having paid $485 to now hope it washes off? After three washes? And then I could go back, strip it off, and retone? She told me she was going to reach out to the owner to see if they could potentially do a partial refund. I decided to also reach out just in case, and what I got instead was a defensive tone, unwillingness to work out options, and to admit no fault. I'll be honest and say I appreciate Joy's acknowledgment and willingness to remove the brassiness and try to remedy what she could, but for the owner to essentially say nothing was wrong, I got what I got, and I already got a free retone and that's the best they could do. In our conversations, at first it was nothing was wrong initially, then well we HAD to use cooler tones to cancel out the brassiness/yellow so now it'll look dark in certain lighting (no, it's just dark), and verbatim, "The photo you showed of it looking brassy idk how that happened." Just own up that we fell short of expectations, and work with me here. For a "luxury salon," the owner doesn't give quality service, and I'm sorry Joy but the retone was awful. There is no balayage in my hair anymore. Edit (from O's response on Google): This is only based from Chris' response. The only explanation I got from Joy, as I was there and not Chris, was after I noticed the hair was too dark and the highlights were essentially gone. She said, "Well...maybe it's just the lighting in here." She gave me a mirror, then brought me up to the front of the store and had me look again, but no. It's still dark. There was no adjustment or neutralizing the brass/yellow tones when my hair was just brought back to a deep brown. I can't fathom how this could be called "corrective" when Joy said okay, two options. 1) We'll wait for three washes, and if the deep brown hasn't diminished then we'll strip it off, and retone. First visit I had explained to her that this was for a special event for me, and I can't wait for three washes to hope for the best. 2) Let me get in contact with Chris to see if we can get you a partial refund. To be honest, what made this experience potentially one of my most horrible experiences at all the salons I have ever gone to as I rarely make 1 star reviews is the owner's interactions with me, dismissing me, and multiple times saying "I don't know what you wanted. I think she did a good job." Joy had the right attitude about it, despite going accidentally too dark. Chris, your client communication is questionable at best
