Julie is the best and takes her time in giving you a great haircut. Been going to her for more than 15yrs. I highly recommend Great Cuts and Julie in particular. read more

Man, been getting my haircut here since I was a student across the street. Just wanted to post an update. Kim is a total bad ass, she cuts my mohawks painstakingly well and always rolls her eyes when I tell her what I want cause she says I look better with a comb over or faux hawk. NOPE, mohawk it is bawahahaha. Julie is a sweetheart and probably has the best aftercare technique after haircut with the scalp massage and all. That extra TLC is sooo luxurious. Can't really go wrong with the staff here at all. Inflation has taken the cost to $25 + tip, but hey, I like not looking ugly! read more

I've been coming here for more than 15 years and have never had a bad experience. Julie is the best and also cuts my kids hair. None of us have ever had a bad haircut. I would recommend Julie to anyone who was looking for a great haircut read more

I'd like to thank Monica for the wonderful haircut today. I went during my lunch and was out of there with time to still grab a snack afterwards. She had great energy while I was in the chair, and worked very diligently to have me on my way. Such an improvement from the last one I had read more

Been going here since highschool. Great service always end up with a great cut. Kim vibe is immaculate always blessing me up

I've been coming here for many years, and Julie does a great job--attentive and styles per my request. Love the shampoo massage. read more

Just got a haircut today. Miss Julie did an amazing job!! I gave her my haircut instructions and she took it to the next level!! I walked out of there, a New man!! ‍ Actually, All the Hair Stylist do amazing work! The Salon is always clean, tyde and professional looking. This is my go too, salon!! read more

I moved to this area soon(ish) to be 2 years and found this place 1 days after moving. Julie was the first person to cut my hair and has been the only one since that day (literally, the only one through that entire time). As someone who prefers a cut every 2-3 weeks (more 2 than 3), I can tell you that she hasn't failed me once. When I need to travel for an extended period of time, I've gone to Julie the day before (and once the day of) my flight to make sure I don't need a cut during my trip and I've always waited to come back to get it cut again. The other members are nice. It's a chill and relaxed vibe. When they're packed, they move in a timely manner without rushing what they're doing or their clients. Can't say enough good things about this place and Julie. Will continue to go there until I move again. read more

Was looking for a decent hair cut- nothing crazy, no styling, just a trim... Walked in, no wait (it was around lunch time) got my trim. Great experience, simple, no funny chemical smells in there, or perfume for that matter, and there was a tv to watch in the mirror. Best part was the price was reasonable!! And the cut was good! read more

Kim cuts my hair and does a great job! She always listened to me the when I started having her cut my hair and made any adjustments I wanted. Now we barely talk about it -- more to confirm the same thing or maybe a slightly different length. Timing is good for me. I can go after work or on Saturday morning and be in and out quickly. read more

The ladies here are so nice and they do a decent job. Sometimes it's busy, sometimes not, best to call and ask.

Not the place to get your haircut if you need an intricate style or are particularly specific... asked for bangs exactly in the photo I showed her... got bangs like I was in the 4th grade. Lol. Basic haircuts are cranked out at this location at a fair price. Friendly staff, clean floors... would come back with the entire family for standard clean cuts. read more

Great Cuts - Hair Salons Near Me - Santa Clara, California

This place has exceptional haircuts and the staff is extremely friendly. Haircuts are always perfect.

I am very picky with my hair so I was wary of trying out this place given the mixed reviews. I needed a haircut on the fly because my work schedule fluctuates so I can't commit to appointments with barber shops. I stumbled upon this place because it was near my house and was seated within 10 minutes. I got a far simpler cut than my usual mid-fade and lineup to test the waters and was pleased with my trim. I asked for a taper with a quarter inch off the top and that was nearly what I got. In addition to my haircut, my stylist offered to rinse my hair at no extra charge much to my surprise. Well worth the $17 + tip (they accept credit cards) if you're looking for a simple cut. I'll be back in two weeks for my next cut. read more

Been here a few times now and each time the experience has been just fine. The ladies are so sweet and are always happy to see that my kids keep coming back. Men's haircuts (10 & up) are $17 which is a fair price for great cuts, convenient location and prompt service. My kids are suuuuuuper picky about their hair and we have been pleased thus far. Would recommend. read more

They are open again! The whole gang is there. They are doing outside hair cuts. They are set up outside and completely compliant with Santa Clara regulations. read more

I'm a huge fan of this spot. The haircuts are very good and excellent value. Julie and Kathleen also have wonderful technique and service (they're so nice, professional, and pleasant!!). Believe it or not I got my wedding hair done here. Not only was it beautiful (got lots of compliments and I would do it again in a heartbeat!!) but the price was AMAZING - $50 for the trial and $50 for the day of. Tip: they call it an updo and each updo is $50. I know others who paid at least $200 and that was supposedly the cheapest they could find. This place is so underrated -- highly recommend! read more

The ladies are open again! Outside, distanced chairs, no rinses. Fast, safe, always great.

I had a great haircut here! I wanted a simple trim with some long layers and Julie gave me exactly what I asked for, and it looked really good. Reasonable prices and the whole thing took about half an hour, so that was great! read more

Dear Great Cuts, If you see my husband again in this establishment, promptly kick his butt out the door! I am tired of him coming here when you guys botch up his hair! It's always an embarrassment at least a week being around him after he comes here. I don't care that you are cheap or convenient to his work, please do not cut his hair. Ban him please! Thank you! An Unhappy Wife read more

I've taken my daughter here for both a trim and a hair style, the ladies have always done a great job. Overall very happy with the service.

13 dollar mens cut. Please let me know if I'm wrong, but for affordability on a mens cut near santa clara university, I think this is the place to go to. Right at the edge of El Camino Real and The Alameda. It's next door to subway near by the safeway and round table pizza. Typically 2 or 3 stylist working. All nice ladies. I haven't really seen it get really busy there yet. The longest I had to wait was about 15 minutes. I've been there 3 times and they've been very consistent with my hair. I keep mines short either spiked or hawked. The next closest place for a mens cut is a couple doors down at Blu Salon. However even with a student id, I think it's still about 35 dollars for a mens cut. Understandably it is a salon. Tip the ladies at Great Cut well and they'll remember you. My hair grows a little bit weird according to most stylist so I always give a new place 2 tries before making a decision. 2nd and 3rd time both turned out pretty good so I believe this is where I'm going from now on. Only thing I would want more is a better fade and a single blade to line it up a little cleaner. But then I might as well find myself a barbershop. 4 stars. read more

I've been coming to this location for a couple of years and have tolerated some idiosyncrasies because overall the service has been solid. In the past the service has varied from efficient if impersonal (fine by me) to very warm and friendly. Today, however, I had a very negative experience leading me to likely not return. I went out of my way to stop by before a trip and got there at 6:20p (they close at 7p). There were two adult men and one boy waiting with two men finishing up their cuts. Barely looking up from her customer one of the stylists says "can you come back tomorrow?". Sure I heard her wrong I ask her to repeat - "can you come back tomorrow?". "What time do you close?" I reply. "Seven". I've been getting haircuts for a LONG time. Guys hair can easily be cut in 10, perhaps 15 minutes. Even so, not so much as an apology and certainly no expression of appreciation for my long-time support of their establishment. I try to support the local place when I can, but hell I can go to Supercuts and pay the same price for the same cut. This was less than minimal customer service and given the plethora of options I'll be happy to not inconvenience them further with my business. read more

All the positive comments about Kim are correct. She has been cutting my hair for past 12 years and she is great!!!

This haircut I just received was equivalent to going to a movie theater to watch a crappy sequel. You get to the theatre with high hopes, grab yourself a nice blue and red slurpee, some popcorn, and a great front and center seat. The movie starts and it's bad from the start. The first scene is cut extremely short, and the following scenes are just trying to work out the kinks from the beginning. All you can do is sit there in sadness and wonder how a director could screw up so badly after doing such a great job the first time. Just hope you have a close friend with steady hands to shave the back of your neck because the director clearly forgot to do an ending. read more

I'm not really sure why the reviews for this place are so mediocre. The two ladies who work here are perpetually bored, so you're going to be able to drop in for a $12 hair cut (if you're a guy) at pretty much any time of the day they're open. The cut is quick and professional, and I'm guessing they were speaking Vietnamese, so if you're viet, you can listen in. Otherwise, the only downside I can see to this place is that their English is limited. Salon with Asian stylists? What do you expect? read more

Shop is back open again with haircuts being conducted outside and Covid precautions taken. Masks required along with hand sanitizer. Same great service. Support the local shops if you can. read more

My boyfriend decided that today was the day for a haircut. Due to a highway accident seriously delaying all traffic, we detoured on to the Alameda and found this place. Upon walking in, I was impressed with the ambiance. Clean, inviting and a nice seating area with a modern sofa and two comfy chairs. Tons of magazines to keep you occupied until it is your turn in the chair. Haircut price was $12 and it was worth it as his hair looked great. Nice people too - I definitely think he'll be back. read more

LADIES- DO NOT GET YOUR HAIR CUT HERE! The woman who cut my hair was rude and very impersonal. The only thing she said to me the entire time was, "your hair is so dry" and made a disgusted face. She took no more than 10 minutes cutting my hair and gave me the worst haircut of my entire life. The haircut she gave me was choppy with layers cut in random areas all around my head. I now must find another hair salon to fix the awful job she did on me. The haircut was so bad that it ruined my entire day. WORST. HAIRCUT OF MY LIFE. Running my fingers through my hair is a terrible experience as there are random short pieces of hair everywhere, I can hardly bear to look at my hair in the mirror. They do not wash your hair, instead they spray some water on it with a cheap bottle. The woman who cut my hair didn't bother pinning/clipping any part of my long hair up, she just grabbed chunks with her hands and snipped it off. I ended up with terrible layers cut in random areas, all of which are choppy on the ends from the way she lazily chopped them off. I literally could've given a five-year-old scissors and would have had a better result. Unless you want your day AND hair ruined, then DO NOT COME HERE! My friend and family all agree that it is an awful haircut (it's not just me). Please, please, please listen to my advice and do not get your hair cut here at least if you are a female. read more

I redownloaded this app, specifically to leave this review. I have never in 26 years gotten a worse hair cut. Uneven on each side and basically ended in the hair dresser buzzing my whole head. Which I could have easily done myself and it would have looked better and cost less. Never ever go here unless you want to look like you cut your own hair on ambient. I truly and honestly believe that the women who cut my hair does not even have a license to do so. I have gotten better hair cuts from my mom using a bowl when I was 8. Worst haircut ever. Don't go here. Fuck this place. read more

My daughter decided to get married on a Sunday last year and this place was open thankfully. Nina gave me a fabulous up-du for which I received many compliments. I had my hair cut by Nina again today after someone else at another establishment cut it and left it very uneven. Thanks to Nina I have a beautiful summer short layered a-line and my husband loves it! read more

I just got my first haircut in 8 months since shelter-in-place happened. Haircuts are done outside in the parking lot under a tent. I did a walk-in and was seated right away with no wait around noon during the week. My hairstylist wore a mask, face shield and gloves, and I kept my mask on the whole time. It was hot outside but I had a fan pointed at me and the haircut was quick. Highly recommend this place for a safe, quick no-nonsense haircut at a reasonable price; all things I highly value during this age of COVID-19. read more

Haircut was done without any care in the world. Went for a trim and now the front part of my hair is all messed up and can not be combed over. read more

One worker doesn't listen to instructions because they don't understand English well. Later say sorry and ask me to tell them first. The price is high for the quality they offer. They need to listen and not leave customers hanging around while they keep talking in middle of the cut. read more

I realized how badly I need a trim and had some time to spare before class and noticed this place on the way. I walked in and was greeted and seated immediately. For under $20 (including tip) I was able to get a quick trim. The stylist who helped me was super nice and didn't try selling me any products and quickly sent me on my way to class with no split ends to pick at :) Don't think I'd trust them with a full on haircut or style but was better than paying $80+ for a trim at a salon. read more

Great Cuts should be renamed to Worst Cuts!!! First off most of the staff here can't speak nor understand English. I ask for a damn Faux Hawk and they gave me a flat top...which I could have the same thing done at a local barber for 5 bucks. I was furious when I started seeing the top being buzzed off!!! I told them I wanted a Faux Hawk not a flat top and the lady said "I dunno what a faux hawk izzz?". If you don't understand the cut I wanted then why proceed!?! After acknowledging that they made a mistake the owner (the old guy doing nothing behind the counter) still asks me to pay 12 bucks for the cut...unfreakenbelievable!!! I feel like I just volunteered to be in the military with this bad cut read more

Weeks later and I'm still suffering from this woman's haircut!! Went to another barber and was told that the only solution was to keep growing my hair out!!! So pissed read more
