Had my hair cut at Designer Cuts yesterday and am very pleased. The last time I had my hair cut, I made the mistake of going to Great Clips in Antioch. They completely messed up my hair. Even after they "fixed" it, it wasn't quite right, even though it was an improvement from the original hack job they did the first time. So, I was very relieved when the nice lady at Designer Cuts was able to fix it and cut it correctly, with very little effort. I was beginning to think my hair would never be quite right again, after the stylists at Great Clips made my simple A-line cut seem like some sort of extremely difficult task. Thank goodness the people at Designer Cuts actually know what they're doing. To be honest, places like Vamp Salon and The Secret Garden are a bit out of my budget range, considering that with my specific cut, I have to have my hair trimmed frequently. So 45-50 bucks every time is a bit steep. It's nice to know that there's a local place that cuts hair exceptionally well, but doesn't come with a hefty price tag. read more

If I can put 0 stars I would. Quality of cut was the worst. See photo of the haircut. Never again!!! read more

Designer Cuts - is this what they call layering? - Hair Salons Near Me - Oakley, California

SCAM! be careful before you get any haircuts done by them. you will be charged more $$$ than you think. there is a price board but they DONT go by the board. they WILL charge you whatever amount they want. they will ADD services and not inform you of extra charge. trust me! i've experienced it by different hairdressers. you think you will pay $20 for haircut but it goes up to $60 in the end or $20 for straightening and end up paying $30. and WORST part is they don't even disclose that at all -not in the beginning and not even during the process that they are increasing their rate. Just SURPRISESEEE you in the end! not so professional behaviour. showed pics for exact haircuts I wanted for me and my friend but they kept hesitating and unsure on how to start. experts don't hesitate ! read more

Hidden Diamond in Oakley.. Couldn't find such a great hair cut at such a reasonable price.. after adding tip, it's still cheaper and best service than all other hair salons around.. My go to salon for now.. read more

Great haircuts for the price. The ladies were super nice and helpful with my kids. We got three great haircuts for the price of going to our old barber with a tip for one. read more

I came here around 12:30pm on Wed 6/9. The place was empty, so Sylvia came right up to me to see what I needed. She was very nice, and we chatted the entire time while she was cutting my hair. She was nice enough to blow out my hair with a round brush once she finished cutting it, to make sure it did curl under. read more

I took my two daughters for a haircut and the ladies there were absolutely wonderful! They were patient and friendly to my girls and best of all their haircuts turned out great! We will be back in a few months read more

Came into this salon for the first time, very lively environment. Everyone was cheerful and welcoming despite the gloomy ongoing Covid. My hairdresser was Susie and she was amazing and made sure she understood what I wanted. Great place, definitely recommend her. Will be coming back for future visits! read more

I would give them zero stars if possible. paid $40 for just a shampoo and blow dry. never going back again. worst experience.

This place is a joke went inside with my daughter and waited for about 40 minutes prior to them having two people in front of me skipped me and use the excuse that they were going to attend these people because they had appointments meanwhile I'm there 45 minutes and they seem to be just cherry picking customers didn't really appreciate when she still asked me if it was OK if he could cut read more

Love love love Susie!! Struggled to find someone to cute my hair who would actually cut what I asked and not chop it off. I'm not very picky with my hair, I just ask her to cute whatever she feels I need. My hair feels and looks great every time and I can't even tell it's shorter! read more

Love love love Kristy!! She's been cutting my families hair now for years! I look forward to every visit with her because she's such a sweetheart. It's a nice convo every single tome. She's always made sure my little boys fades are always done with perfection. Even given their multiple calics (spelling?) she always manages to cut it so it doesn't grow out all funky. I'll never go anywhere else! Love her!! read more

The stylists are always really friendly. Their wait times are short and my son always gets great hair cuts. Their prices are really decent too! read more

They cut hair good but their customer service sucks! Make an appointment drops ins are not appreciated. I won't be back three of the last five times I came in and they said they couldn't take me?? Screw them!!! read more

I've always gone to high-end salons for haircuts. Pay about $40-60 performed by young and fresh ladies, where they serve mimosas and very modern/classy decors. Only to go back once or TWICE to get my haircut redone because I just didn't like it. Then I came upon Designer Cuts & met Anna. Not only is she (and all the other ladies) super nice, but she knows what she is doing. With many years of experience and knowledge! I haven't had to go back to her to get something fixed or redone. You tell her what she wants and she gives you exactly that! I even got all my friends and families to go to her :). Its been a little over 5 years now and I wouldn't go any place else! read more

Took my son in for a haircut today. Jenny cut and styled his hair and it turned out so well!!!! So happy I found them on yelp. She was absolutely great with him. So sweet and patient. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

The Lovely ladies here are very experience. I have been going to them for about 20 years. I usually rotated through the different ladies and they all do a great job. This place prefers cash but they do have a credit card machine. There's plenty of parking also. I recommend this place because they have really reasonable prices for haircuts. They take both walk ins and appointments read more

Karen has cut my hair for years, Always gives me exactly what I ask for.

Joanna is awesome! She listens, gives suggestions, and tells you like it is with color as what to expect and what will work. She also knows how to cut an A-Line which not everyone does. The bonus is she's super friendly and personable. read more

Brought my 5 year old boy in for a cut, no appointment. The gal who greeted us and cut his hair was a doll and did a great job, despite the fact I couldn't really explain what I wanted- she chatted him up and gave him the best cut he's had so far. read more

Going to log that as my worst hair cut ever. Felt like a was getting my hair cut with a machet. She did not care about the cut had little knowledge of how to even cut hair. She took out two inch chunks at a time. If I had it to do over I would have listened to the bad reviews others have posted. This place is horrible. The woman's name is Jenny Micheal. Make sure you avoid this horrible place. I could have cut my own hair better than this. Extremely disappointed. read more

Went here on a Sunday morning and found two workers, each had clients. Two others waiting and figured, shouldn't be that long. Well, after I walked in, three others walking in behind me and one worker started to collect names so that everyone there would be in order. She asked the names of the two gentlemen that were there when I walked in and then proceeded to take then names of the three other, skipping over me. Well, I wouldn't be too ticked off but the other three behind me even told the woman that I was in front of them and SHE TOTALLY IGNORED ME and went back to cutting the persons hair that was in her chair. HOW DAMN RUDE AND TOTALLY IGNORANT. She was told that I was there in front of others. Guess no mercy for the invisible man! read more

I took my two toddler aged boys here for a cut and they both were having a bad day. Both ladies took them in the chair and got right to work getting the job done and handled my boys beautifully. Great job thanks to Wendy and all the ladies. They were very understanding of my my fussy boys and make the whole experience better. Thanks ladies. read more

I have had my hair cut here by 'Anna' for more then 15 years. All the Stylist are very well trained and have loyal clients.

My family and I have been going to Designers Cuts for nearly 20 years. Anna of course is absolutely fabulous. Jenny is the bomb!!! My son now 25 years old, was in the 8th grade at Delta Vista, I do believe it was last day of school (Crazy Hair Day) Jenny shaved my Sons hair into an arrow - there is a cartoon "The last Airbender" Jenny nailed it she was flawless. Of course I (mom) spray painted it blue. He was a hit at school of course. In 2014 I needed a couple of ladies to do some "do ups" Joann, Tammy you rock. You ladies were reasonable, flawless in your work and left us very satisfied for our event. I even purchased baby white roses which they added to the hair. Excellent job! I can give you a million more examples. And still in 2019 you all ROCK!!! Thank you all for being very pleasant, workable around our busy schedules and very good at what you do. All of your hard work NEVER goes unnoticed. The Robertson-Baltzell Family. read more

Great place, everyone is extremely nice and social.

I love the stylists here. I usually see Jenny who always does a fabulous job on my hair. The shop is clean and comfortable and has a great atmosphere. read more

This was my second time at this place, the first time I went the lady who cut my hair was nice and did a fair job cutting my hair, I'm not the picky type but for $16 you gotta expect a fair hair cut. The second time was today, this time is was a different lady (not going to mention names but if they read this they will figure out who it was), I was asked what I wanted and I kept it simple, she was done quick meaning didn't really check her job and I had to ask to fix the back and one of the sides, she kinda fixed the back but when I asked to fix the side because I could see hair sticking out, she had the nerve to ask me "aren't you going to use gel??" I said no worries, paid and went home. Lady, please do your job right!! if I use gel or not has nothing to do with you doing your sh*t correctly!! Glad I walked away, next time I'll just just pay more somewhere else, as long as they do a good job. read more

I took both my boys there today. The wait wasn't bad. The ladies are very nice. My oldest sons hair turned out nice. I can't complain. My youngest sons did not come out so nice. He got his haircut by someone else.. My mistake... I should have waited for the same lady... Anyway... I didn't ask for anything difficult. Just fade and clean up around the edges. His hair is so messed up!!! The his hair is not faded at all. You can see where his hair is supposed to fade. When she was done I had to ask her to blend it better because you can see a line in his hair. I regret even paying for the haircut. read more

There aren't too many walk in hair salons that are worth visiting, but Designer Cuts in Oakley is! Never a long wait, always greeted as soon as you walk in. We've been taking our entire family here for years and we look for Susie. Susie has done everything from a basic trim to a complete style change. She can look at the shape of your face and head and cut hair accordingly. My husband's hair grows crazy and he always walks out saying what a great cut it was! My daughter has had everything from blue color added to the tips of her hair to having over a foot cut off! She's worth a try and she won't break the bank. You won't be disappointed giving them a try. read more

I am finished with this place. I went in today and was told there were three people ahead of me. I sat down and the three people were called up. Okay, so now it's my turn. Wrong, the owner of the business skipped right over me and called up a gentlemen that came in about 10 minutes after me. He didn't say a word and when I stood up the owner said, Oh were you next? I told her yes I was, but don't worry, I will take my business elsewhere. She was rude, no apology and let me walk out without even batting an eye. I will tell everyone I know to say away from this shop. If I do go in again, I will make sure Kristy or Susie is working and they will get my money. Not the rude owner! read more

I went to have the underneath layer of my hair dyed red. I set my appointment the week prior. When i arrived for my appointment she did not have the hair dye to my hair. After several phone calls she left to go purchase it. Jenny ( to my understanding the shop owner and my appointment hairdresser) unnecessarily bleached my hair twice (I have since talked with 4 other hairdressers who told me it should not have been bleached more than once) which made 6 inches break off the length of my hair AND left me with a bald spot the size of a silver dollar. Which, three months later, has still shown no signs of growing back. I went back after a month had gone by (i explained to Jenny that I needed to cool down so as to not make a scene in her shop. You can understand how upset I had been) to show her the results of her work and she blew me off and wouldn't even look at the damage she had done, never mind offer me a refund. She told me it was "NORMAL" I was charged $130 which she refused to refund, and refused to do anything to rectify the situation. I would not recommend this salon to anyone. read more

I recently had one surgery after another (neck & shoulder), it was hard enough to wash my own hair let alone style it, which has been out of the question! When I arrived at Designer Cuts in Oakley I did not intend on having my hair washed, just trimmed & styled. After explaining my situation to Wendy she insisted that she wash my hair... I didn't realize hairdressers were experts in scalp massage! After melting into the chair by the sink, Wendy helped me up, trimmed my hair and styled it beautifully. I left there feeling as if I was leaving a spa. I will be going back & telling everyone I know about Designer Cuts in Oakley! read more
