Not sure if I'll go back. So many personalities. Had my hair cut by four different stylists. The recent haircut I received was an Asian lady who kept pulling at my bangs in order to cut them. Then proceeds to tell me to stiffen up. Geez I was relaxed. Didn't like my bangs. This last time I went, I told stylist granny I had longer bangs on the side. I didn't want them cut. Just a trim. Feel like she cut too much now I look like Edna Mode. I didn't like the result. I told her I didn't want my hair straightened but she had to straighten for her "cutting" purposes. Then before going in I called and asked how much for a trim it was $30, after the trim, granny said it was $35. Was it cuz she flattened it? I didn't oblige, I should have. I gotta find a new place. read more

If you are looking for an expert in hair color with many awards as proof, cut, style recommendations, and with a warm & pleasing personality.. Patty the owner is the wonderful person to look for! She patiently listens & explains options with an ultimate goal to ensure you're happy & satisfied with her work.

Just trim and it's not done properly on my taste . It's not styled the way I used to have

Had an appointment for 4 and had to wait 30 minutes to be seated, and then after I got seated, the stylist walked away back to the other client he had waiting before me. I showed pictures and explained what I wanted, but I did not get it. Instead, the stylist said he can do "something similar". The style I requested is usually done with scissors, but because they had the other customer waiting, I'm assuming he was just trying to get me done with, so he rushed it and used the mechanical shavers instead. The cut wasn't even either, i had to fix it myself at home. Never coming back here. read more

Patty was recommended by my friend. My mom and I had our haircut with her and we are so happy with the results. Patty is very friendly and professional. I have been to different stylists and she is the only one who suggests what my type of hair really needs. Plus she doesn't overcharge. I have very ugly, frizzy hair and she fixed. read more

Fantastic Sams - By Patty - Hair Salons Near Me - Chino, California

Jose was able to fit me in on a short notice, I have very long hair and wanted a haircut. He talked me through everything he was doing, he double checked the envy I wanted cut off and even gave me recommendations for what he thought would look best. And he was right! 10/10 will come back to this location just for Jose, and everytime I come back to visit from Texas I have to make sure to come by. He styled my hair afterwards and I couldn't be happier. read more

Tammy did our 7 year olds FIRST haircut and let me just say she was AMAZING. She was so patient, kind and funny with his talkative and nervous behavior. She was very confident and professional and let us know what she was doing with every step. She made us really comfortable being there and the price was very reasonable. We will definitely be back for future haircuts! read more

I can't rate the entire place, I'm only rating Sylvia. I've had my hair cut by her twice. The first time I loved it. The second time I went to the car and cried. I went in and showed her a picture. I thought she had understood but then she started cutting and cutting and then she took out the clippers. When she was done my hair looked NOTHING like the damn picture. I was pissed and felt like not paying anything or at least paying half. But I paid and I tipped her. But I will never go back there again. I included the picture I showed her and what my hair actually ended up looking like. read more

PATTY SAVED MY HAIR!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! This review is a month overdue. I had my hair colored at a different salon in Brea -- the guy completely screwed up the color (See pic: he left my hair a brassy orange color with a "black hole" at the back of my head), and I was desperately looking for someone else to fix my hair. Patty's name kept coming up on Yelp, and boy was I glad I went to her. She is so knowledgeable, professional, and just a delight to be around. I can be a bit of an introvert when it comes to people I just met, but she was so easy and fun to talk with and she made me feel comfortable. I've never gone to the same stylist more than twice. Either I didn't feel a connection with them and/or I was not satisfied with the end results. But with Patty, I feel like she gets me. She was patient and took the time to listen to what I had envisioned for my hair. She went above and beyond, gave me tips on how to style my hair, and even stayed a bit after the store closing hour to finish my hair. I'm done with the more expensive, impersonal salons. I can't wait to visit Patty in a few months for a cut + touch-up, and some chit-chatting :) read more

Fantastic Sams - Patty worked her magic and saved me from a color disaster by a different salon. THANK YOU PATTY! - Hair Salons Near Me - Chino, California

I'm happy with their services; cut, color, wash n set, highlights, trim, or simply just a touch up. My favorite stylist is Jose, he's always happy and ready to meet my expectations or change them to my delight, like going lighter X2 . I've seen the other stylist work too and I like it. Parking is available everyday depending how close you want to be. read more

Great service. No wonder there is always a long line waiting. look for Patty. I recommend to make an appointment before you come. it is a busy place read more

This place is unsanitary rude & unprofessional.. Jose was my stylist. i scheduled a root retouch for $65 .. he was fake "nice" complementing me the entire time til the end. He applied my color & had me wait in a dirty chair full of hair. once finished he washed my hair & began to blow dry, not once was i asked if i wanted this done. when done he showed me my results, i asked him how much more it'd be for a trim, he said well so far its $105 for a retouch and style so... i said what?? what style? i never booked anything other than a retouch. he said how my hair is so long he had to use extra dye but he wasn't going to charge me for that, which is a lie, length has nothing to do with my root regrowth, & why did he not say that before beginning the service? then he said im just charging you for the style if you didn't want your hair styled why didn't you stop me? lol .. whattt how am i supposed to know you're charging me 40$ to dry my hair?? that is not even a style.. as a professional and a person w common sense he could have asked if i wanted my hair dried for 40$ more lol. he completely changed character once i spoke up, snatched the robe off my neck and said fine take my work for free! this and that, being so rude and aggressive in tone in front of other customers. i was in disbelief of the big tantrum he was throwing bc i did not let him play me for $40.. i have never heard of a salon charging for drying your hair after color, or adding services w out first asking if you want that! i feel sorry for people who have dealt with his behavior & for the ones who don't know how to speak up for themselves in a situation like this. i will be reporting him and this salon. this is my first and last time coming here. read more

I came in looking for a trim, I had some dead hair and split ends that I wanted to get rid of. The whole appointment went great, they were very friendly and gave many good tips on how to keep my hair healthy. I had looked at my hair in their mirror real quick and I thought "okay it's cute not bad". All was well, but as I was driving and feeling my hair, I feel my left side very choppy and doesn't flow like the right side. I get home and my sister tells me that it looks very chopped and the layers are off. I look in the mirror and yes, it looks very chopped! I'm so disappointed and upset. I've always had layers and they've never looked like this. Now I'm going to have to go get it fixed and pay again. But I'm never going back to Fantastic Sams. I'm going to go somewhere better even if I have to pay double. Super disappointed!!!! I never make Yelp reviews, but I had to make one after today. read more

I DO NOT RECCOMEND. I had the worst experience here fromtaparte. This is what my hair looked like before I got it fixed at a different salon. I asked for a few inches off the bottom and layers. This is what I received. Completely lop-sided and the top layer is unbelievably short. She had "techniques" I've never seen before which explains why it looks so terrible. read more

Fantastic Sams - My finished cut by Patty. This photo was taken at the salón i went to to FIX my hair. HORRIBLE job! - Hair Salons Near Me - Chino, California

I didn't even get to catch the name of who helped me but she had short blonde hair, went and asked for my hair to ONLY get styled, made an appointment and everything. Once I got in her chair told her what I wanted she was making faces and you could clearly tell she didn't want to do my hair. I have long thick hair and wanted it half up half down with all of my hair crimped and one piece of my hair sticking out from the front and the half up with gel. She wanted to put gel in my hair first before crimping my hair which to me didn't make sense to put gel then crimp because the top of the half up do wouldn't have any volume if she were to crimp it afterwards and the hair would be flat, she then said she couldn't do my hair for me. Which I had no problem with I could do my own hair I just didn't want to because my hair is so long which means it takes so long to do it myself. Was just a waste of my time because I had somewhere to be within the next 2 hours. read more

We always have a good experience at this store in Chino. We have been there a number of times and we will be back.

Had my first haircut and color in two years and Jose was so patient and amazing! He took his time to make sure I got exactly what I wanted and worked with me to get it just right. I'm so happy with the final result! He made sure to tell me to tell him if there was anything I didn't like, and he would fix it. He didn't make me feel overwhelmed or pressured to do what he wanted, but instead worked with my ideas the whole way. Will definitely be back to see Jose again! read more

My 5 yr old was giving the stylist a hard time but Patti and her staff were incredible. Patient, kind and willing to step in to help each other. What a great team! And my husband looks handsome with his fresh cut! read more

That saying, you get what you pay for applies here.. this is the second time i came here and had a horrific experience.. i guess it's my fault for coming back. I first came here sept 2019 to get my hair cut. I just had my baby and was going back to work and my hair was really long. (Prenatal/pregnancy/post natal pills) I asked for a trim and came out with 6 inches off my hair!!!!! And it was uneven!! I called and said it's not straight this needed to get fixed and patty (supposedly the best one there with the most experience) took me in and had me look down and trimmed the back even more after all the hair that had been cut off! She insisted short hair looked great especially since i had my baby. I was like okay fine i guess a new look is fine. A year later this year in 2020 i went back, again my hair being long.. i asked for front framing layers i was not going for my usual trim/blunt cut. Half way through the hair cut patty picks up all my crown and begins to cut further than my ear, which left me with a choppy top... and long ends like a freaking mullet!!!! She then asked oh you want front or all around layers like she had forgotten!!! (I will show photos..) Patty said it's cause people usually want layers all around and i specifically told her i just wanted layers in the front not all around the head.. it was so short on top!!! i told her i didn't think it looks nice at all she insisted it was even and at an angle and kept telling my hair was thinner on the right side and that's my fault not hers.. my hair was was beautiful and long and it got F***** UP! (I still paid and tipped her!) She told me to come back if i wanted her to fix it.. um NO THANKS i will NEVER go back and i dont recommend anyone come here unless you want your hair messed up. I bought vitamins and oil to grow out my hair that's how bad it is. The worst part and was telling me that she should cut it even shorter in the front. Shorter than my chin! Didn't even take the hairs out around my mask. I had to ask to take the mask off so she could see my face shape!! I was showing her the pictures i was referring to like i did in the beginning and told her it looks NOTHING LIKE THAT PHOTOS I SHOWED HER INITIALLY.. she said it was the way they styled the girls hair in the photo not the cut and she has different texture than mine. WHY WOULD SHE NOT MENTION THAT FROM THE BEGINNING. Again she did not take accountability and was shifting the blame on me.. i made an appt and even had to wait 30 mins before i was seen.. no smile, no conversation.... not the hair cut i wanted( how do you botch a basic haircut) just overall a horrible experience i felt like a 5 year old child just got scissors and cut my hair.. anyways ladies or gentlemen.. go find somewhere else.. spend the extra money other wise you will end up spending extra money anyways to fix your messed up hair.. i dyed my hair darker hoping that it was look better but it did not.. i will be going somewhere else.. read more

This review goes out to the great staff at Fantastic Sams. This FS's has been my haircut home for the last two years. I enjoy coming here because every stylist will give you a great haircut. I should know, everyone who works here has cut my hair at least once. Each and every single time I have left satisfied. You have Patty who is the owner and only one word can describe her, amazing! Elia is the assistant manager who has an incredible smile and will take care of you. Silvia is ready at a moments notice to help out and make you look good. Jose is the quiet guy who gets the job done. I missed two young gals who cut my hair and did a great job. Sorry, I forgot your names but I didn't forget the great service both of your provided. The best thing about having different people work on my hair, every time I get a new hair style. Everyone has their own unique twist on cutting my hair. I always walk out of FS's feeling hip and cool. I enjoy coming here because you don't need an appointment and someone we will be ready to take care of you promptly. You will see plenty of smiles and everyone who works here is awesome. Thank you FS's staff, keep up the great work and I will see you guys soon. read more

I love coming here because the stylists are wonderful. They genuinely make an effort to have you leave absolutely satisfied. Patty, who manages, is meticulous and a perfectionist who will ensure that you leave 100 percent satisfied. Jose also give wonderful cuts and styles. They are all friendly and open to hear what you think about their art. If you let them know, they will give you exactly what you ask for, and they do so with a smile. They all work together and get along. When you are there, you feel happy and welcomed. This is how Patty is, which helps to foster a great climate. I highly recommend this salon. I just had Patty color, cut, and give me highlights, minus the big salon price. I could't be happier. I uploaded a picture for you to see, and one of Rowena's to show you some of the trendy styles they do here. read more

I was skeptical to use a chain hair salon, since I usually only get one $60+ hair cut a year at the fancy places... my hair is pretty healthy and I don't like to do much to it. However, I'm newish to the area and decided to go in as a walk-in and after only waiting a few minutes got a cut and blow out by Rowina. She is amazing! My hair looks just like the picture I showed her, the length and texture are perfect. I am very picky for the most part but am beyond satisfied with my hair as well as the customer service. I've booked an appointment for my son (who is a picky teenager that likes to go for the YouTuber/influencelooks) for next week. read more

After a horrible episode with another barber and location (chino hills) my son didn't want to get a hair cut or go anywhere. As we would of all feel after they shave your hair off and you've never done shave and no where to what you asked for... anyhow! We found this location and Patty made us feel very much welcome and we come to find out she is the greatest... thank you so much patty for always being so reliable and amazing to my sons hair and for giving him his comfort and that he can trust again. We will def be coming back again and again! His haircuts ‍ always look FRESH! read more

This place is horrible! It smells horrible, called and scheduled an appointment for my daughter. When we walked in no one greeted us I signed in on their sign in sheet. Wait for 15- 20 minutes while we waited a man was getting his hair cut. A lady name Patty seats my child down on the chair the previous man was sitting at. She then proceeded to grab the dirty tools she just used on the man before! I asked her if those were used and she said they don't clean between clients!!!! Keep in mind these brushes still had hair from the man before. So dirty and unsanitary. I didn't let her touch my child's hair and walked out. read more

Patty was amazing. She was so patient and spent so long on my hair, making it perfect. She is also so knowledgable about what styles look good on you and had a lot of suggestions. Highly highly recommend her. Would definately come back! read more

Finally sitting again to get my hair done. By the lovely Silvia of course! She always does me and my roots right!

When working with them, they criticized my hair and called it ugly, i asked for bangs and they told me it'd look ugly on me and then proceeded to give me those thick ugly short bangs, and asked if i wanted it shorter (shorter than my eyebrows, which i said no.) and when i asked to stop, they continued. She cut more than i asked, made it uneven & choppy . Didn't even try. and charged extra. read more
