Brought my little monster in for a much needed haircut. After almost 3.5 years of her hair continuously growing, the length was started to get a bit bothersome for my toddler. Since I was in need of a cut as well, why not kill 2 birds with one stone. No appointment was made- I totally made the decision to skip her nap and headed straight over to Cali's Perfect Cuts. With only 2 ladies working, I was really thankful to see Loan. A wait was unavailable but absolutely expected so we sat and sat and sat... and sat some more. Fast Forward: The wait was well worth it. Loan was so kind and full of patience when it came to my little monster's cut. I appreciate how she did not rush through the process even with a growing number of guests awaiting their turn. My little girl was an absolute natural when it came to following directions and her attempts to sit still didn't go unnoticed. 5/5 stars. This entire experience couldn't have gone any better. My daughter smiled throughout her entire visit and cannot wait to return. Although her dad was really against any kind of cutting, he too, was really satisfied with the results. My little monster spent the rest of the evening roaming around the house asking fam if they "like my haircut??" Lmao. read more

THANK YOU SO MUCH to Thuy for fixing my hair and giving me the layers that my thick black Asian hair deserves! I have gone to so many salons here in the Bay Area and they have never delivered the kind of layers that best fits our face frames/hair styles. But I will now trust Thuy with my layers every time.

Cali's Perfect Cuts - Cali's Perfect Cuts, had an amazing experience! - Hair Salons Near Me - Milpitas, California

Had the worst hair color experience ever. The lady could not even get the color out of my hair and kept telling me they shampooed 3 times. Above all they didnt dry or set hair at all and told me i was done with wet hair. I explained to her 5 times that its wet and its not set. She kept responding "no dry much after hair color" are you kidding me? They dont understand English at all. They are not professionals and care about fast service read more

We were passing by in the area and, seeing as my son needed a haircut, we brought him in without an appointment. A young man carefully did my son's hair and his lovely female colleague oversaw & assisted him. Together they did a terrific job and we, along with our son, loved his new haircut. Overall the entire experience was perfect with very reasonable pricing and excellent service. Thank you! read more

Great customer service from Thuy. She is a great hair stylish. The price is affordable. I love the way they layer my hair. $22-$25 for woman is great. read more

Great service at a great price. My 10 year old son was also perfectly comfortable and enjoyed his hair cut.

I have been coming to Cali's for awhile and have slowly eliminated each person to cut my hair and finally I've had it and will go somewhere else. My hair has been chopped and is in multiple lengths the last 2 times. And they have raised prices enough since COVID taking full advantage of the economy. No thanks. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Cali's Perfect Cuts - Botched neck line that they intentionally hid until I left. - Hair Salons Near Me - Milpitas, California

Its my regular haircut go-to place. the prices are good for guy's haircuts and is pretty consistent no matter who cuts my hair.

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

My go to spa when my original pedi lady is away. I'm surprised they raised their price. Pedi used to be $16-now $19! It's alright, they're nice. I used to come here a lot for my eyebrows-Like waxing. Price was only $7 before. The girl that I liked, not sure about her name. She was friendly. I heard she moved somewhere. So I have a new girl, Tina. She's pretty good. P.S. Make sure to bring cash. They charge $2 for a CC use minimum if $12. read more

I used to be a long time customer of this place. That is, until this morning. I tried to come here for a hair cut this morning, but ended up leaving. By the way, I didn't even get out of my car to walk the few feet to the shop. There was a male employee who came out of the shop for a smoking break. What? And he didn't even choose to smoke the standard 20 feet away as is the rule in Milpitas. I used to love the hair cuts done by a dozen or more of the employees. However, that was until today. I will no longer return to this place. It isn't the only place in the neighborhood that has a hair salon. Shame on you, Cali! You've lost a long time customer! read more

There is asian guy with blond and black hair that cuts hair there and he is just terrible, i showed him a picture of what i wanted and he didn't even get close to it. He couldn't even fade me up correctly bro cut my hair way too short. He cuts my hair every time for some reason when i'm there and just sucks at it. The others are probably fine but he is the problem. He Sucks at giving haircuts i'm sorry. read more

I have been having a massive hairfall and was looking to cut my hair short as my curly hair gets easily entangled and it gets difficult to maintain the length with hair falling out in an alarming amount.

Cali's Perfect Cuts - Haircut by Thuyi (I stayled it at home) - Hair Salons Near Me - Milpitas, California

it really depends who you ask to cut your hair, like if you're a guy who wants a cut using an electric razor, the two younger hairdressers are okay to ask to get a haircut, but you should ask the older lady (i think her name is Anh) to deal with more feminine hairstyles. Ive been here every so often over the past 5 years and i always come out satisfied. My haircuts tend to look similar, but i think it's because Anh really studies your face shape to determine the best cut for you. btw, the prices are the BOMB! lol read more

I've been to this salon twice now for a men's hair cut. I have been satisfied with the cut and service each time. Today a woman named Loann cut my hair (Recommend). She was friendly and did a great job w the cut and shampoo after. She seemed detail oriented and took the time to make sure my hair looked good. Thanks Loann! Can be a bit crowded if you come on a Friday afternoon (like most salons). read more

This was recommended to me and my sister by our cousin. As she was saying they are really good. It's been a year since i do my hair so i decided to try it. Loann is my hair dresser.,she did haicut(layered), hair color and highlights(gold). I showed the picture what hair color i want. And i also asked if she can do permanent big curl. But she's very honest that she cant do that. Which is fine with me coz she's right it's only curling iron^_^ anywys, i recommend her. She did great with my hair. And very nice. As for my sister's hair her hair dresser is Thuy. Since my sister wants something new. She has the same thing as mine^_^ i guess. She is also great. Very nice person. Over all i recommend these 2 ladies. Tips: come here very very early as they open 9:30am. The crowd is packed ofcourse bec its saturday.hehe And with the price. We had it cheap but not cheaper. With haircut, hair color and highlights for 120;) not bad. Plus give a tip. I'll try to come back before christmas for hair treatment;) read more

I've been coming here for 13 years and was never disappointed on how nice the owner can be. Thuy is just amazing.

Had my hair cut by a lovely lady named Thu and she was professional and fast. In just under 20 mins, she managed to get it exactly how I wanted it to be (I showed a photo). Amazing and super impressed. Will be back. read more

I always go here when I need a quick men's haircut. There is usually a line of at least one or two people on Sunday, but I'll get lucky sometimes when there isn't a line. Even with a line, the queue burns through quickly as they constantly have around 6 people staffed cutting hair. The haircut isn't perfectly detailed, and wouldn't come here to try new styles. Rather, I would come here when I know what exactly I want so they can execute quickly and efficiently. The price for a men's haircut is definitely the selling point here, can get in and out in less than 30 minutes for $9. Record time: 9min 32 seconds. But who's counting. read more

I still love this salon and I continue to go here and nowhere else. Thuy is still great and she remembers me even if I don't get my hair cut for like a year. My mom and dad goes here too and she remembers them also. Anyways, today I also got a pedicure and acrylic nail set by Van. She is very nice. I'm currently pregnant and in the beginning she advised to just get gel because it's bad for baby so I ok'd to go for the gel. As we were finishing up the pedicure she said we could do acrylic set but she will just give me a mask to wear. I thought that was very nice of her because doing a gel set on regular nails is so much easier than doing acrylic set. I will always be a returning customer for my hair cut! Love this salon. $15 hair cut $15 pedicure $25 acrylic nail set ** note: literally 5 days since I got acrylic nail set and one nail already came off. Not very happy about that. I don't even do heavy duty work. Knocked off a star. read more

Ask for Thuy if you want a good and affordable hair cut. Been going here since I was in high school.

I came in because I wanted to get a hair cut. It was the closest place to get my hair done while waiting for my friend to get out of work. My hair was really long before I came in here. Like pass my waistline. I asked the lady to cut only three inches. She said, okay. Then she showed me the amount of hair length that she would cut which is exactly three inches. By the time she finished cutting my hair, the three inches that she showed me turned out to be about 7 inches. Well you get what you pay for. My hair cut was only $15.00 plus tip. Yes, I did tip because I'm a nice person. I will try a different place next time. My friend was shocked when she saw how short my hair looked. I was as surprised as she was. read more

Men's haircut was mentioned as $12 in Service Rates, but I was charged $15, reason given for extra charge was my hair was long. This is just scam, no hair salon charges men's haircut based on the length of hair and I am visiting this place last 5 years, I never had this problem. When I was talking to hairdresser, one of the customer agreed with me as well, this is ridiculous and pure scam. Please AVOID THIS PLACE and if you still going make sure upfront how much you will be charged!! read more

Thu is a great hairstylist. I love her and she is so patient and will make sure you get the best out of your money's worth. She also does great job trimming eyebrows. This place also has the most reasonable price in the area. We highly recommend this place and look for Thu or the lady owner because they are great. Other ones are good too. read more

For so many years, I tried different hairstylists but it seemed that no one ever followed my instructions and did what I wanted. I've experienced hairstylists cutting my hair too short or made it too choppy. However, after discovering Cali's Perfect Cuts, I never had to struggle to find a new hairstylist. Thuy is the only person I go to and she is the only person that I trust. She always is so welcoming and she never disappoints me. Her shop is called "Cali's Perfect Cuts" and I must say she does own up to her brand because her cuts are always perfect and are always so nice. read more

I've been coming here for like, a couple of years. The other day, I was leaving the country and I needed to get a last minute haircut before taking off for the airport. But no time. But I figure if I go down the street to Cali's right at 9:30 AM when they open, I can make it happen. So I go down there, and what do I see, but a line of about 8 people, standing outside the door, waiting for the doors to open. WHAT!!? This is crazy for small town, little ole Milpitas! I had to give up the haircut and get on the plane with messed up hair because there was no time. The point of this story, is that Cali's had a line out the door before they were even open on a regular, weekday morning! I don't think you'll find that at any Supercuts or for that matter, any other barber. It seems like it's family run. Grandma is in there cutting hair, alongside her husband and their daughter and friends, I'm guessing. I'm guessing all this, because I don't know **for sure** they are all family, but I have a good hunch they are. Next time I go in, I should be more outgoing and make some conversation with the stylists (I usually don't talk much while I'm getting my haircut). $7.00, or is it $8.00 -- for a haircut. That's what I think a haircut should cost for a person like me that doesn't have much hair to cut. I've been pretty happy with the haircuts I've gotten there. Not perfect every time, but not bad enough to cause me to go elsewhere. It's just a hole in the wall--nothing fancy at all. If you just want a quick, cheap haircut and you're not bothered by the lack of fanciful surroundings, then this might just be your place. read more

Today was my first time here. I got my hair dyed and cut. The hairstylist did a splendid job! My friend recommended me to come here. I'll be back for sure! read more

For $7, I really like this place. The key to getting the best men's style haircut is to find the barber that suits your taste. I have had haircuts several times here from various barbers and I will admit, "#1 on the side and cut to about half inch on the top" is translated and done differently by everyone of them. It's just like beef pho is different from one place to another. You can request a specific barber to cut your hair (which happens quite often by frequent customers). If you like the style you get, do not expect to get that cut by someone else next time. This place gets pretty busy on Fridays. It's 2011, I can't even get a medium pizza for $7 these days so for a seven dollar haircut, I can't complain. read more

When any of the ladies do your pedi/mani, make sure she's licensed for it. Had one of the ladies do mine, & it turned out horribly. She cut too much on my little toes, which resulted to some bleeding. & a full week of pain & recovery. Only good thing about this place is the foot spa booth complete with back massaging chairs. Oh, & the prices are pretty fair. I personally would probably come back if I was desperate for a cheap job done. read more

Fuck this place. I have been going here for a while and wasn't eager to have the guy cut my hair. Since it was busy, I decided to take my chances with him. The final result was an uneven cut that I noticed once I got home and showered. I had to go back and have one of the ladies recut and blend it. NEVER ALLOW THE VIETNAMESE GUY TO CUT YOUR HAIR! HE WILL LEAVE SOME AREA UNEVEN! read more

WHY DIDN'T I READ THROUGH YELP AND LISTEN TO PEOPLE. I have been to haircut places that were as pricy as 50 bucks and as cheap as 6 bucks. (I'm a guy btw) I needed an emergency haircut today since I wouldn't have time to do it later on. So I got stuck with the guy who smells like cigarettes. I asked for number 1 on side and back. He proceeded to SHAVE ALL MY HAIR to a bald finish. I asked him to stop, and he said it is number one. The damage was done, so I only could hope he would even it out in the end. I WAS WRONG! Not only did he mess up my hair (worst haircut in my life), he left the rag on me and didn't dry or clean up my hair. My mom taught me that many people live on tips and I should tip even if I hated the service. So I tipped the guy anyways. This is the first time I ever hated a haircut I received. The cigarette smelling guy literally was jabbing the shaving tool to my head and just shaving to his heart's content. Yes, hair will grow back. But the blow to my dignity in the meantime will be something I can't forget... Fellow yelpers, please read the other comments and learn from our mistakes. I won't ever go back. read more
