    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.

    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.

Walking in, my hair had uneven tones, visible warmth/brassiness, grown-out color, and dryness through the mid-lengths and ends. Vy took the time to thoroughly assess my hair, listen to my goals, and explain the process step by step--something I genuinely appreciated. Her attention to detail and knowledge instantly made me feel confident I was in the best hands. The result? Absolutely flawless. Vy transformed my hair into a beautifully blended, cool-toned, dimensional finish that looks healthy, sleek, and incredibly polished. The color is seamless from root to ends, with no harsh lines, no patchiness, and the perfect balance of cool and natural tones. My hair feels softer, smoother, and looks healthier than it has in a long time. What truly sets Vy apart is her precision, patience, and artistry. She doesn't rush--she perfects. This wasn't just a hair appointment; it was a true transformation. If you're looking for someone who is talented, professional, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about the health and outcome of your hair, Vy is THAT stylist. I'm beyond happy with my results and will 100% be coming back. Highly, highly recommend ‍

They don't use the most fancy hair products or hair tools but it's a solid choice for a trim every quarter. I got an appointment slot of my choice when I booked 2 days in advance with my choice of hairdresser so it's convenient as I don't need to plan way in advance. I was happy with the attention to detail from Holly and with the length of hair she trimmed. She is very thorough at her job. The only thing I have to point out to them which I have noticed at every visit is to request them to apply heat protectant before they use the hair dryer. I wish they kept that in mind on their own. This is irrespective of the hair dresser at this salon. I think their prices are quite fair for the services they deliver. I will continue to visit them for my hair trims in future as well. It's a reliable hair salon in Milpitas.
