I have wavy hair with an attitude: Hairs gone wild. It's taken me years to find someone who can cut my badly behaving curls. I saw a lot of great hair stylists but never had a hair shape that worked for me. Then I found Ericka at Cost Cutters. I went to her when I saw what she did for a friend of mine. I just can't recommend this particular Cost Cutters enough. Ericka is such a treasure as is Ryan and the owners are also lovely. Go here, get your really special cut. You'll be so glad that you did. And please say "Hi" to Rasta for me! read more

This place is a joke. They are never open. After their COVID restrictions were lifted, they are still closed on Sundays and Mondays. Ok, so I call them today, Saturday 10/24. I get their voicemail that says they are closed starting on 10/27. Ok, well it didn't say they were closed today. I know they are already closed tomorrow and Monday so I make a special trip to SLO to finally get my hair cut after all this time and, THEY ARE CLOSED! The sign says they are open 10-6 on Saturdays and they will be closed starting 10/27. I give up! Don't these guys want the business after being closed so long for COVID. We all need haircuts. They would be busy if they would just be OPEN! Anyone know an affordable place to get a hair cut in SLO? I'm over Cost Cutters! read more

Cost Cutters - Blonde highlights (extremely blended ) and a 5 inch cut - Hair Salons Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

We've been coming here for a few years and its my daughter's favorite place to get her haircut. The owner is super nice. However, today the employee running the store and her customer service were awful. First... she comes to the counter "what do you want?!" I tell her my daughter wants a shampoo and trim. "Well have you been here before?!" she ROLLS HER EYES "you need to come up here!." I was sitting in a chair closest to the counter as when I walked in no one was at the counter. I could've easily given her my name from there. "You need to come up here and give me your name!" I do. She acts super annoyed. Then she tells me 3 times in 5 min that itll be a 45 min wait. We wouldve waited the 45 min... but it was clear she did not want our business..... read more

Well I've been going here for hair color and cut for months because Ryan is a great colorist and hair cutter. Ryan is always happy and uplifting as well. It's always best to call ahead and make an appointment here because they are busy. All the stylists are great by the way. I just jive with Ryan. read more

This place is terrific! My daughter and I have been getting our hair done here for several years - no bad haircuts or colorings! Staff is friendly, accommodating and quite knowledgeable. Best kept secret in SLO! read more

I was looking for my back to "in person" school haircut and walked in Friday morning. Everything was wiped down and clean. Staff was very helpful. Ryan did a great job. Fast, friendly and affordable is a winnings combination. read more

Been getting my haircut here for a few years now. They (shout out to Sheri and Erica) do a terrific job. The place is clean, especially now in the time of Covid-19. They take your temperature before you can get a haircut. The cost of the haircut is easy on the wallet, too. It's too bad people have had such a bad experience with this place. It deserves better reviews. read more

That is really unfortunate about the review on Ryan below, because that is nothing what I experienced when he did my hair the other day. I came in with a welcoming and understanding of exactly what I wanted, it was a drastic change, compared to the basic trim like from the simpleton review below. My expectations were matched and beyond, he added layers to my hair and explained that it will be easier for me to style it any way I like. He was absolutely right, I can blow dry and style it just the way I like. I walked in feeling like dirt, and left feeling so Fine like sand!!! I am absolutely grateful for Ryan's master work, listening to me, laughing with me, and giving such an amazing experience! He is very knowledgeable, caring, kind, and all around fabulous person! read more

This is a wonderful, relaxing place for me (almost 70) to get a haircut. You can make an appointment so no long wait and everyone seems to love their cuts and service. Great location, easy parking and the family-owned business is very welcoming! read more

I really like this place. They are closed until further notice and I really hope they get notice and open soon because they are great people and do a great job. read more

Stopped in and was surprised by the breadth of services available and the great customer care. This is a tremendous value. read more

My first time getting my hair cut in SLO; I usually tend to do anything to my hair by myself. I felt confident letting Kara handle my hair. This place is very affordable and the employees seem very friendly. I had a good experience and I am looking forward to going back! read more

My hair; fine, dark blonde with sone gray, does not hold color well. I have been going here for over a year for highlights and cuts. One thing to know, shampooing before a cut is not included. They will dampen it if asked. Maybe that helps keeps cost down. That being said, my color (high/low light) has always been done with care and looks great. Sonya listens to exactly what I want and does just what I ask. If I have no clue what I want she helps me figure it out. I used to pay over $100 at fancier salons and end up looking worse. read more

My first impression was Wow! I really liked the clean and modern atmosphere! I was promptly checked in with a smile, and was able to get my Fade done right away! Sheri did a awesome job! Her professionalism, and how she was easy to talk to was nice during my haircut, I was so surprised I got a haircut and I wasn't itchy! That's unheard of for myself! My fade turned out perfect, thanks Sheri I'll definitely be back! I felt confident leaving because my hair looked great, and with not feeling itchy I was able to finish my work day. I highly recommend Cost Cutters in San Luis Obispo, and will be my only spot from now on, great job! read more

Thanks for fixing my haircut Sheri. The owner was very nice and helpful, I recommend her if you're looking for a fade.

Let me start off by saying. I get a very easy hair cut. 2 on top and 1 on the side with a fade in between. I didn't notice until I got to work that she had missed patches of hair on the top in the back. I had to hear from coworkers all day about my hair cut. Super disappointed. I wont be back here. Also the 20% off in yelp app they had no clue about it. They gave me 2 senior discounts and did honor it after they had talked to each other. read more

she ran the clippers up the side of my head after explicit directions on how to layer my hair and when I complained was told not to talk to her that way...left , never to return read more

I have straight hair that's pretty hard to mess up. I got a trim and simple layers in like 15 minutes for under $20.

Sheri & Karley are my heroes. If you need a skin fade for whatever random occasion that you need to look good at, ask for one of those two ladies. I've never had a bad cut here--- actually, I've only ever had perfect cuts here. Karley also gave me some tips on how to style my hair to match the way it grows in, which I needed badly! All in all, it's a great place to get a great fade & still be able to afford to go out and show off the cut. 6 out of 5 stars if it were possible. read more

Donna was patient with our son and gave him a great haircut. We went back about a week later to get my other son a haircut from her and she was not there but another young lady with a unique name I can't remember was super nice and she gave him probably the best haircut he has ever had and my wife even liked it so that girl is awesome, I would give her credit but all I can remember was she had green hair and I think she had a J in her name. read more

I love this place and find the receptionist to be very friendly actually... Great cuts, great hours, best prices. Also the cleanest salon I have ever stepped into. read more

Just had my hair cut here by Jesse. I have long, straight hair and wanted a simple straight across trim. The left side is half an inch longer than the right side and the cut looks like a weird version of an a-line because it is longer in the front than the back! I will not be going to this place again.... I'm very unhappy. :( read more

I feel so lucky to have found Sabra, who really knows what she is doing. She is a color expert. I will be sad if she leaves! So affordable too, thankfully. read more

Horrible service and bad hair cuts . Abused my daughter and then refused to give our money back. On top of all of that the sad manager refuses to call me back or take my calls. You should not go there . I filed a corporate complaint . Awful . read more

I don't mind paying $15 for someone to use clippers the whole time as long as they do a decent job.. Got a 4 on the top and a 2 on the sides. Basic right? Came home to find a TON of uneven blatantly long hairs on the top and the sides. They can do better than that.. read more

I have been seeing Erica M. at Cost Cutters for over four years. She does an awesome job and would never go to anyone else. I tell her that if she ever leaves Cost Cutters I am going where she goes! She does a great job, I am always changing the style of my thin fine hair and she is so helpful. I have never been disappointed! read more

Absolutely terrible place to get a haircut. I took my son in for his first haircut (3 1/2) and was so disappointed with the attitude and knowledge with our hairdresser (I believe her name is Patty: middle aged, permanent scowl, haggard). Not only did she not know the current trends, she was very rude to my son and I, rolling her eyes and pushing my sons head aggressively. She then cut the back of his neck and was not apologetic about it, saying "his skin is just sensitive". I gave her a dollar tip and was actually upset I even did that. I am very disappointed with his haircut and now have to find someone else to fix it. I guess you get what you pay for. read more

Erica...great job! I will definitely be back. Nice friendly staff & owner on site. Felt like a new person when I left,she knew exactly what I wanted read more

I am a girl with short hair, and I wanted to get the hair on the back of my head (didn't trust someone new to mess with the more visible bangs) trimmed up before my interview Monday (I have a regular couple that I go to do my usual cut and color, but I didn't get that done over break from school, so I had to find someone in SLO). Went in, was told it would be 20 min, so I went across the parking lot to Home Depot, did some shopping, came back and sat in the chair. I don't know the name of the lady who took care of me, but she was nice and friendly and made sure to ask me if I wanted it clean cut or more wispy, and I got a nice neat cut as I wanted. Was only charged $7, which was great, tipped $3 for an even $10. Would go back for a trim between my regular cuts. read more

WARNING!!! Cost Cutters (by Home Depot) accidentally cut away a large portion of my hair. They apologized and didn't charge me for the cut but now I'm stuck with a really REALLY bad haircut. Please let others know about this. I would hate to see anyone else go through what I'm now having to live with. read more

I found my home at Cost Cutters in SLO. I first went there and had the pleasure of having Janice do my hair, which had not been cut as I was used in Southern California. Janice listened to me and cut my hair so well that I have been going back over and over for over a year now. What a relief it is to have such a great resource where every stylist cuts hair so well. Thank you Cost Cutters and especially Janice. read more

At first i liked the lady i had. I have short hair, and know the stigma about girls with sorry hair. I told her what i want, but she didn't seem to listen because the next thing i knew i liked like one of two things; a lesbian, or a pre-pubescent boy. .. THEN SHE KEPT CUTTING! she was saying some crap about how i should style my hair which looked hideous, and when i arty it the way is actually wear it, she would just say no and put it back the way she had it! I wanted to slap her it was horrible. Now i look awful thanks to her trying to be a "pro stylist" ugh. NEVER going there again. I'll shell out more to look like i want, thank you read more

I have fine, wavy hair--really, some of it is straight, and some curly. I was trying to grow it out, and looked like a mess. I got a great haircut and a new color I really like. My stylist Aubrey was fun and friendly, and remembered me the next time I came in. Plus you can't beat the prices. I have gone back three times now, as have the other members of my family, and we're always happy. read more

I've been going here for a few years and it's always fun chatting with my regular hair stylists. The haircuts are great, prices are reasonable, and it's just a good vibe when I'm in there. read more

I got a haircut done by Sheri. I got the cheapest looking skin fade ever. So bad it encouraged me to cut my own hair now. She took less than 10 minutes and didn't care how it looked. She didn't show me the finished results. I tried contacting her an she is never there. I left my phone number and have been waiting to hear from her for 3 weeks now. read more

the staff is always very friendly and talkative, which is nice (its always uncomfortable to sit in a chair for however long getting your hair done, with no talk). And my hair has always been done great. Never got a hair cut there i didn't like. read more

Love this place. I took my girls there today and had amazing serving and quality work. My daughter loves her layers. My other daughter got a horrible cut at Fantastic Sam's off of foothill rd, slo and we just got it fixed today at Cost Cutters and did excellent work fixing it. Wish I got the names of these awesome girls. Either way love it. read more
