First time at Cutting Edge--Maya hooked it up You can tell she's got real experience. Didn't just ask what I wanted... she knew what would actually look good on me and made it happen. That kind of confidence hits different. Shop itself? Super relaxed vibe. No rush, no pressure--just good energy and clean work. Safe to say... I found my spot. read more

As a SAHM with a kid under 2, it's been hard to find time to get a haircut because weekends are usually so busy. I was looking forward to getting one when in town visiting family and my sister recommended Cutting Edge. She had been there twice and really liked how her hair grew out from her haircuts there. I love the convenience of being able to book my appointment online with the stylist of your choice. Unfortunately, I accidentally booked it for the wrong day and didn't know until I arrived. Maya was so kind to still take me even though they were fully booked, and I really appreciate it because I wouldn't have had any other time to get a haircut during our visit. Maya was really sweet and fun to talk to. I loved how my haircut turned out! It felt so light and fresh and it looks great down or tied up. read more

I had been going to Cutting Edge for my haircut until we moved. Maya has been great and I always walked out with great haircut and never a bad one. Maya is very meticulous and always pleasant to work with (appointments and rescheduling if I had conflicts). Truly a great place for haircut! read more

I usually go to Maya. She is always on time and her work is excellent. We always have a good conversation too

I am always hopping around to do my hair. Since Cutting Edge was close by and I didn't want to sit months for the stylist I went to before, I decided to give this place a try. The reviews were good and I'm always down to try local places. The prices don't really reflect the final total, but that's OK. I understand that it depends on the needs of the appointment. I showed a picture to Maya beforehand on what I wanted. She was really communicative and texted me to make sure she knew what I wanted. When I arrived, I was the only customer. My appointment literally took 6 hours and many clients later. I was the first and last. Lol. One thing I dislike is spending more than 4 hours at the salon, so I was getting really impatient. Just to be clear, Maya and Jenny were super nice and their customer service is great. They even offered snacks and coffee, which is highly appreciated. Also, the bleach sat on my hair for 3 hours, which never happens! I was afraid my hair was going to fall off, but that wasn't the case. My haircut took super long since Maya handed it off to Jenny. Jenny really struggled with curling my hair, so Maya had to take over. By the time I got out of the salon, it was dark. The end result of my hair was OK, but the bayalage wasn't raised high enough compared to the front highlights. Overall, my hair was nice, but I wasn't in love and the time it took was way too long. Again, the customer service is great, but I probably won't go back. read more

Cutting Edge - Here is the before, requested photo and after. They worked really hard and I appreciated it! - Hair Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

It's been over a year since the pandemic and I was long overdue for a haircut as well as a hair coloring session. As the pandemic is settling and everyone is getting vaccinated, I finally felt more at ease to show up at a salon for a long hair appointment. After doing much research on Yelp to find a suitable hair salon, I stumbled upon Cutting Edge and definitely have no regrets! Let me start by saying the appointment process is seamless. I scheduled an appointment a few weeks in advance via their website and also called the salon to confirm my appointment as I was looking for a balayage/ombré coloring session. Maya answered the phone and was friendly and very helpful. She asked me to send her pictures of my current hair and what hair style I was looking for to fully understand what hair style and color I was hoping to achieve. I highly appreciated this! On the day of my appointment, Maya was very welcoming. The inside of the salon is clean and well kept! Maya and Jennifer were the two hair stylists working for the day and they each sat clients over 6 ft. apart and on opposite ends. Maya and I reviewed the hair style and balayage + ombré I wanted to achieve and she went straight to working her magic! :) I was prepared for this 5-6 hour session as cutting hair and the balayage with the ombré are an art in their own. It takes quality time and patience to get the results you want, so I definitely appreciated Maya's time and utmost effort to make this happen. In between sessions with my hair (like when my hair was processing or toning), Maya was super efficient and taking care of other incoming customers who had appointments for haircuts. She was diligent while maintaining great customer service. Her interaction with her clients was positive! Maya always followed up with me to ensure I was doing okay and comfortable during these waiting periods. She's pure awesomeness and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality work! Not only thing, I enjoyed talking to her as the interaction at a salon between a hair stylist and client are just as important! You get quality work for what you pay for. The outcome of my haircut + light ashy blond balayage with ombré tips was phenomenal! Pictures don't do it justice. I am looking forward to having Maya as my hair stylist moving forward. :) Thank you, Maya!!! You do amazing work and you're an amazing person! P.S. There's also a snack room and beverages (water/coffee/tea) are offered during your visit. read more

I'll definitely be back to have Maya cut my sons hair from now on. She recognized immediately the type of hair he has and how short she could go with it. He was real happy with her, more than the previous person we've gone to for his hair. So he has told me he'd like to go back to her next time. Thanks Maya for making him feel comfortable and listening to what he wanted. I'll probably even be back for myself. :) read more

Got a haircut and beard trim. Happy with the haircut, but the beard trim was not good; there was a bunch of uncut/uneven hair all over the place. I ended up having to go over it with my own trimmer at home to clean up. It's not that big a deal, I know it's a roll of the dice sometimes at a hair place if they can actually do beards, just want other bearded travelers to know. read more

Jennifer saves my hair!! It faded to an ash blonde and it didn't fit my skin tone. I went back in and she fixed me up and I love my new hair! read more

I would give 0 star if I could. Just had the worst hair washing experience here. The service was awful and they are dishonest about the price. Before the hair washing process began, I told my stylist, Jennifer, try not to get water on my face because I just had a laser surgery on my face skin. However, she not only splashed water on my face but also left shampoo in my right ear. Not to mention that she went to answer a phone call and opened the front door in the middle of the process. After washing my hair, Jennifer roughly tied up my hair and put me under a hooded hair dryer so that she can attend to another walk-in customer. As the customer who made a reservation beforehand, I felt very disrespected. That hooded dryer messed up my hair and made me extremely uncomfortable. Then Jennifer blow dried my hair about 5 minutes and said she is done - most of my hair was still wet! Finally, Jennifer said that the price for hair wash service ($10) I saw when making my appointment online is for men only. And since she blow dried my hair (only 5 mins), I will be charged $25. I wouldn't mind paying more for women's hair but she should have informed me in advance. Obviously this salon is not clear with customers about prices. She finally charged me $20 (before tips), which is more than expected. I will never step foot to this salon again. Extremely disappointed & waste of money. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SALON! read more

I made appointment online with anyone for my 5 years old and Debra was the one who was available. I was hoping for Maya base on Yelp reviews but I'm so glad Debra was the one who cut my daughter hair. She was patient and gentle with my daughter. I showed the picture of hair style that my daughter wanted and Debra did awesome job! She explained and gave a little tips to blowdry my daughter hair. My daughter also really happy with the result. For sure we are coming back here! read more

Finally found someone who made my brassy locks ash! I tried a couple salons after my long time stylist moved out of state but was never satisfied with the 'orangey' color. I took a chance and booked balayage/baby lights and a cut with Maya. Thank you Yelp! It's so hard to find a stylist that listens to what you want and actually delivers. This is the first time I've been able to get the ash blonde I've been trying to achieve for years. And to note, without breaking the bank. The salon is clean and cute and everyone is super 'chill'. I stole that word from Maya ha. I can not recommend Maya enough! read more

First time visiting via appointment and had Maya as my hairstylist. She's very sweet, attentive, and asks a lot of good questions about your hair, and your routine to get a better sense of your ideal look. She checked in with me before doing any major cuts and double checked the length for my approval. I waited till the next day after washing and styling myself to see if I liked the overall haircut and I am so happy with my new look! Thank you so much Maya, happy holidays! (I'll be sure to request you when I need another trim!) read more

Cutting Edge - The front is very cute. Not super busy at the hour I went (11:30am) - Hair Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

I was taking my son for his usual hair salon at Niles but not sure what happened that they were closed at 11am. So my son looked on Yelp and found this place. He said the reviews are good and a lot of people are mentioning Maya who is really a good hair dresser. I asked my son to call and book an appointment which he did. We were lucky that we could just drive in. There were not too many customers so without delay my son got his haircut. The lady who cut the hair was very nice and friendly to me and my son. She even liked and praised my hairstyle. Guess which hair dresser we got? Maya . Thank you Maya for your great customer service. I'm definitely bringing my son here for his next haircut. read more

This Salon hits all the marks. *Easy to book online (with whichever hair stylist you choose) *Easy parking location *Family friendly atmosphere *Skilled Stylists *Clean/beautiful shoppysx I had an appointment for myself and my two oldest kids. Maya ended up cutting my son's hair and it came out really nice. I love how they don't give kids the bowl haircut look, they know how to texture it and shape it to look more natural (Jennifer cut his hair before and did really well also) Jennifer cut my hair and my daughter's. She totally fixed my botched haircut and I loveee it. She did exactly what I asked for and went above and beyond. She's very meticulous with her work and is sure to double check with you along the way. She made my daughter's trim look amazing--way more than I expected. Thank you ladies! read more

My first time here. Really pleased with Jennifer's service. She clearly knows her stuff, and gives suggestions and recommendations. She is easy to talk to too and has nice background music playing. read more

To seriously compare and confirm Cutting Edge is way misleadingly overpriced, I tried the $20 women's hair cut at another establishment. And yes, Cutting Edge's $45 women's cut is worse (than the $20 women's cut at another place) - even your untalented husband can do what Cutting Edge does. Don't come here to expect a normal cut. read more

Doesn't take walk ins like they said. Came 30 mins before closing and all were busy but I guess the haircutting specialist decided it was easier to speak to her coworker then to me...I'm steps away. Customer service was not up to par. read more

This is an amazing place and my favorite to get my haircut for an year now in Fremont. Jennifer is so nice, she remembers my preference and also suggests styles which I get lots of compliments. She asks several times how short I wanted my hair to be before every step. I absolutely loved her service!! It's very clean. Really nice little spot and I'm glad I found a place and great hair stylist Jennifer. read more

Jenny and Maya are both great, I always leave loving the way I look. They're great to work with when I want to change up my style a bit. Even if I'm not completely sure what I want or how to describe what I'm thinking, I trust their judgement because I know whatever they do is going to come out looking good in the end. read more

Careful to listen and deliver a becoming haircut. As an older woman, I really appreciate the professional advice and abilities of stylist Jennifer Nguyen read more

I think this review will help other girls out. Please do not waste your money here for balayage service. My appointment was at 10:30am and because I want babylight balayage, it took longer than expected. Jennifer had a next client at 2pm so she was rushing with my hair. On top of that, she made me fold foil papers for her while she was bleaching my hair, which I didn't mind at first but it was still a little odd that a hair stylist asked a client to do some work while I paid $$ for the service. After she washed my hair, she asked me to blow dry my own hair while she mixed the toner ( at this point, I was not happy with the service). My hair was over-processed and was so brassy after the bleach. Because the hair was brassy, when she toned it with ash color, it turned out to be this ugly greenish color. She kept repeating "oh after a few washes, your hair will turn out ashy like you want". That was when I know she messed up. I hated how my hair turned out so much that I went to another stylist to fix it. I was shock when the other stylist took a picture on the back of my head!! There were so many uneven bleach spot (see my pics), which make me so upset. As a professional & ethical hair stylist, Jennifer should have seen this mistake and be honest with me, but instead she let me ask walk out of the salon like that and paid over $300 for this ugly hair. I was hopeful to find a good hair stylist after seeing so many positive reviews on Jennifer's work for balayage, but it turned out to be a big disappointment and waste of money. I will never step foot in this salon again. read more

Just an FYI to everyone, if you go there, everything is a la carte. I had no idea. My wife went for a hair cut and in the process of getting her hair cut, the hair dresser dampened her hair. Understandable, it's easier to cut. However, the hair was not dried up after the dampen. I personally have never experienced this anywhere. Usually when I go for a hair cut, if the hair dresser dampens the hair, they dry it up (without styling of course) just so I can see the finished product. Heads up for everyone! Kind people, but vague on what service provides. I'd ask ahead. read more

Not happy with the service. Haircut was fine as I wanted but after few minutes I got rashes on my neck which were scary. I guess the stylist used a wrong trimmer or blade of trimmer was spoilt. Not going back for sure. read more

Hallelujah for Maya! So happy to find a place in Fremont I can trust. Although, I wasn't expecting the price in the end (I guess my bad for assuming it would be closer to Balayage pricing), but after realizing how much was done in the almost 7 hours spent there - Babylights, Root Melt, Wash, Cut, etc - it made sense. After seeing the final product, I had no regrets! Maya's hospitality was top notch, she made me feel comfortable and I was able to ask any questions and advice about hair coloring without feeling stupid. Amazing service + quality worth every penny. read more

Cutting Edge - ASK FOR MAYA!! Ash babylights, root melt, & trim - Hair Salons Near Me - Fremont, California

I recently moved to the area and had been looking for a salon that I can claim as my go-to -- and well, looks like I found just the spot. Clean and tidy inside. Warm and welcoming vibes. I got my haircut with Jennifer, and she was more than pleasant! She understood exactly what I wanted without even having to look at any photos. I'm normally really self conscious about getting my hair cut, and I tend to not go as often as I have eczema / dry skin, but Jennifer made me feel comfortable to be there, and she definitely exceeded my expectations with a fresh, clean cut! I will definitely be coming back! read more

I booked a same day appt for my son and was within 15 minutes of coming in. Had been looking for a barber who could handle a 2 year old squirming and give him a great haircut still. She handled everything very well and 2 weeks later still growing out well. Thank you! read more
