Just called to get a haircut appointment for my 4 year old. Was excited to see a place with good reviews open on a Sunday. Guy on phone said he won't do haircuts on kids under age 5. I said "not even for a very well-behaved 4-year-old?" and he was like, nope. Just...wow. read more

This place is great!!! I called on a Friday at 10:30am and asked if they could cut my 2 daughters' hair. They have long hair, and wanted a layered cut. The women did an amazing job! She was sweet and pleasant. Took about 25 minutes each daughter. We loved the results and the price was great. Will def return! read more

Cute family business, great cuts for my impatient and selective pre-teens and teen. Professional, fair pricing and great service! Found our new go-to! read more

This was an 8-minute rush job that ruined my hair. The barber didn't even use water, so he was cutting my hair while it was dry and sticking up. He parted it wrong and didn't look closely at what he was doing. I have random long hairs hanging over my ears that are almost an inch longer than the rest, and the whole cut is choppy and uneven. I have to go somewhere else to get this fixed. read more

Great Cuts - Uneven haircut which they hurried in 8 minutes - Hair Salons Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I take my kids here. They are really nice, and the haircuts are good and reasonably priced. If you asked my kids, they would just talk about the free lollipops...haha. I highly recommend this place!!! read more

Very accommodating. Reasonable prices. I've had my hair cut here, as well as my kids'. The folks who work here are good peeps.

Dude was good, fast and fair price! Need I say more? Totally recommend him! Talked a bit too much politics though haha. read more

Quick and decent work. Easy appointments. Good pricing. Very convenient location. My boy loves it. And I get a haircut here as well, to save time. We both are happy with the service. read more

Got a great cut and color from Kaitlyn today. Kaitlyn is very communicative and passionate about her clients. And all for an extremely affordable price! What a gem! read more

There are A LOT of barber shops in downtown Walnut Creek (seriously, Yelp it). I recently moved in the area and needed to find a regular place to cut my hair. I chose Great Cuts and glad I did. It is affordable, quick, and they do a great job! The owner is named Tu and he is very friendly, detail-oriented, and customer-focused. He always ensures he is doing specifically what you want before jumping the gun. He runs the shop with his wife, who is also very nice. Men's haircuts are $20 and women's are $25, which is quite cheaper than some of the other "fancier" barbers in the area. They accept credit card. Usually Tu is able finish in 25-30 min. Even if someone is waiting, he will not rush your cut! There is street metered parking in front of the shop and a large parking lot nearby. Walk-ins welcome, but if you are coming on a weekend, I would call and schedule your appointment ahead of time. read more

Tu is an amazing hairstylist and fun to converse with. I walked in the morning and asked if he does walk-ins, which he does. He told me the price for a men's haircut would be $20, and that is pretty much fair with other places I have seen. I told him just trim around the back and make it overall look a bit short (since I do not get haircuts that often). The entire experience was very nice. He talked to me throughout the haircut experience and was explaining what he was doing. He stopped at different aspects to ensure that the look he was cutting into was what I wanted/be pleased with. Tu is very knowledgeable with being a hairstylist. After getting my haircut, he told me that he recently installed a pedicure station and asked if I would like to try it. I did not plan on doing a pedicure (not to mention this would be the first time I ever done it in my life) but he told me this is something new he wants to add to his business. I decided to try it out and help out more of the smaller businesses if I can. The female employee helped me with the pedicure. I sat in the nice burgundy massage chair while she tended to my legs. They have a variety of different scents you can choose from, such as Chocolate, Jasmine, Olive, Lemon, Mango, and many more. I was tempted to do Chocolate (only because that one seemed out of the ordinary), but I opted for Mango instead. This experience took in all about 45 minutes (only because I set the massage chair to 60 min and when she finished, I had about 15 min left). She was very careful tending to my feet, using the cuticle trimmer and filer on my nails and massaging them with the scented lotions. I felt very relaxed throughout the entire time. She also wrapped hot towels around my legs and used these two "rocks" to also massage my legs. After that was done, my legs felt very smooth and nice. Overall, this was a nice experience. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Tu is amazing at cutting hair, and the female staff was very gentle with my legs. Even for my first time doing a pedicure, I would come back for that and also a haircut as well. read more

Great costumer service and the vibe makes it very comfortable for all ages! Additionally, setting up an appointment it's easy and quick.

Excellent customer service and affordable prices for families. The kids and I had our hair trimmed. Affordable prices for excellent cuts. You should make an appointment to avoid the wait time. Street parking is challenging since the meters are full. read more

Wonderful place for boys hair cut, my son does not want to go anywhere else. Casual vibe. This place has been constantly one of the best haircuts he gets. Flawless every time read more

Tu reversed my son's fear of haircuts. Here he is a year after. We are so thankful for Tu & Ngoc. read more

Tu does an incredible fade! My high fade was like a glass of Santana champ...cause it was oh so crisp If you want a jiffy lube type experience where they slice and dice and you're in and out this is not the place for you. He really takes time with your haircut to make sure it comes out right. Hence he really does prefer you make an appointment. If you are expecting to walk in and complain about what's taking so long this is not the place for you. Your hair deserves attention as well as everyone else's. The best part is that this great haircut and it's about the same price as the franchise joints. Do yourself a favor, make an appointment and enjoy the ride read more

We tried to walk in on a Monday for a quick kids haircut, there was absolutely nobody there and a man sitting at the desk on his phone. We simply asked if he had time for a quick cut, he rolled his eyes, looked at my 3 year old and said nope and continued scrolling on his phone and doing absolutely nothing. So unprofessional and rude. Would not recommend to anyone. read more

Great Cuts was my savior when it came to not paying $50 for a haircut. (The norm nowadays). Family run business who knows their stuff. I've been going here for about a year now and it's by far the best haircut I've ever gotten. $30 after tip, you can't beat the pricing, especially in Walnut Creek. read more

I have lived in the area for about a year and have been coming exclusively to Tu. Cute little 2 chair shop, but moves very quickly. My schedule doesn't always let me out at a consistent time, but Tu has been very accommodating to get me in same day - and once even stayed after hours to finish a cut for me. $25 for men's cuts, mine always runs around 25-30 min. read more

Zero stars for this place. We drove an hour to get there. We walked in and saw one person getting their hair cut and one person waiting. The lady behind the counter didn't greet us. Instead, she just said, "We don't have anyone to cut hair." Really? We went to the Great Clips on Ygnacio Blvd and had far SUPERIOR service and a great haircut. Removing this place from my bookmarks! read more

This is a local owned business. The couple who owns the place has been my go-to whenever I need a haircut. They are nice and friendly and accommodating. This place can get really busy therefore calling ahead of time to book an appointment is recommended. read more

Literally has pictures of kids on their Yelp, yet refused to cut my daughter's hair. Do not recommend.

The BEST children's haircut salon in Bay area! Thank you so much for outstanding haircuts, my son looking forward to his haircut every time! read more

I brought both my kids here for haircuts. With their new prices, it's not the best bargain anymore. But I brought them anyway because they do great hair. Today we came in Sat am around 11am. One of their customers ahead of us had his phone on some sort of sports station ON FULL BLAST with yelling and frequent commercials. I asked the man at the front desk if he could be asked to turn his phone down. He said sorry no he can't. Ummm yeah you can. It was super distractingly and annoying as hell. I'll find a new place to go to. read more

Called and asked if they could take me in that same day, to which they said yes. Very warm and welcoming people. I asked for a straight cut (a bob, basically). The stylist did not rush the process and was very gentle with my hair. I really enjoyed his energy. Oh and it only cost me $20!! That's great!! Will come back!! read more

These folks are great. I've taken my twin girls to Lin twice. Great experience and reasonable cost. Easy to schedule ahead, but walk-ins are accepted, too. They will also shampoo and condition your kiddos hair; I've found some Children's places won't do this. We prefer the full service cut with shampoo! They seem to cater to men's haircuts and kids haircuts, but that's just my impression. read more

Great Cuts - Fresh, new haircut! - Hair Salons Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I had a strange and terrible experience here. When I arrived both Tu and his female colleague were busy with customers. Once Tu finished his work, the female colleague stopped working on her customer and started doing my haircut and Tu took her customer. Then when Tu finished his work, the female colleague stopped working on my haircut and Tu continued her work to finish my haircut. As expected the result was terrible and Tu didn't care about doing a good job and finished my haircut in less than 5 minutes. I never ever had this experience before where one stylist start a work and when the other one become free, that person would take over the work and finish it. This was my first and definitely my last visit to this barbershop. read more

Nice people, great service, reasonably priced, accommodating schedule, clean and comfortable facility. This is my go-to for haircuts and beard trims. read more

Iam so happy to find a place where I can get my haircut! Tu and Lin are both are beyond talented. I have had both work on my hair, and am very pleased each time. Their prices are also very affordable, especially in Walnut Creek. Definitely call in ahead to set an appointment to avoid having to wait. Will be recommending them to family and friends. read more

I had a wonderful pedicure and gel manicure!! Both the owners are so nice and it was a very comfortable atmosphere in the salon. I would highly recommend them to anyone!! read more

Great haircut at a very affordable price in Walnut Creek. I get a zero fade straight up and it usually takes about 30 minutes? Always comes out super clean and sharp. I'd recommend calling in to schedule a time (I've always had an opening the same day or the next day). Thanks guys! read more

MY NEW GO TO SALON IN THE EAST BAY!!! I was looking for an affordable blow out and I found it here! I called only moments before walking in and Linh was able to see me right away. It does come with a shampoo and conditioner wash beforehand. I have color treated hair right now and she was able to accommodate to my needs by using color safe shampoo and conditioner. I love how the front came out, next time I'll ask her to have my hair in the back blown out towards the middle. I have medium length hair at the moment and I was in and out within 30 mins! FIRST TIME HERE AND I'M DEFINITELY COMING BACK. read more

For MEN ONLY! Never for women, unless you want to get a men's haircut. Despite of my explanation of my haircut style and showing him an image of my future look, I received a MEN'S HAIRCUT! Don't take me wrong; he does a good haircut for men. I just feel devastated with my haircut! read more

I took my 4 year old here and the price is reasonable plus I thought it's better than her previous $45 haircut. My girl has naturally wavy curly Italian hair, the pics taken the next day after my own shampoo blow dry attempt :). It was the female stylist who cut it. I also saw 2 men were getting haircut while we were waiting, I think they did a great job. I usually go to $100 haircut but I'm kinda considering myself for a haircut here ha... But she didn't wash and blow dry her hair. It's more of a fast and go type super cut salon. Give a try! There are so many talented hairstylist nowadays who works at typical non fancy Vietnamese style hair salon. Don't judge the cover alone. Will return :)) read more

This place is a hidden gem in downtown! Much less expensive than all the other salons in Walnut Creek, with staff who really know what they're doing and who provide quality haircuts. I got my bangs trimmed in just five minutes, and they're exactly how I wanted them, which hasn't happened with other, more trendy and expensive, salons. Definitely coming back! read more

Tu is an amazing stylist! When it comes to finding new stylists I'm usually very skeptical, but Tu goes through the hair cutting process and discusses what he will do before the cut which allows me to put a lot of trust in him! Tu is quick but also very careful with his work. He focuses on the details and is very precise! I've noticed he takes a lot of safety precautions which makes me feel very comfortable! Overall, I'm very satisfied with Tu's work. He's a very genuine person and would definitely come back! read more

Great haircuts, decent prices. The owner is a little weird, his dog is always in the shop sitting on one of the barber chairs. You'll also regularly be subjected to watching Fox news on the TV in there. Otherwise, the two women who cut hair are total pros and I'll always go back whenever I'm in town. read more

My son just got the best haircut from Tu at Great Cuts. He looks awesome. True...I work next door at the flower shop and I just think Tu and Lin are so nice!! But honestly...best haircut my son has ever had for shape of his face. Very current. Just Perfect!! read more

I'm an out of towner, and I make a point to get a haircut from Tu whenever I'm visiting. I've got stiff, thick hair, and he knows how to make it look good. Other barbers always just resort to high and tight maybe cause they are lazy and don't really know how to make it look good. The price is great, too. I write this positive review hesitantly cause I selfishly don't want him to get so busy that booking an appt is difficult. But I just gotta give credit where credit is due. Tu is the best! read more

Outdoor haircuts! Even during the covid mess. I saw Tu on Sat. after months of being in quarantine. Not only was the haircut quick and carefully measured, it was a really great value at only $20. It's obvious he puts a lot of effort into his work and I will definitely be back! He was incredibly friendly and took all of the necessary precautions to maintain a clean and safe work space. I highly recommend him. read more
