    I came here for a haircut since I was in the area and they said they did not have a wait when I called. It looks nicer on the inside compared to the outside so don't let the nondescript sign dissuade you. The location is super clean. They take their Covid precautions very seriously and I watched them diligently wipe down and sanitize after every haircut. Thank you! I got my hair cut by the owner, Chris, who was a really nice gentleman. He talked about how they have been in business for 30 years and moved from Cupertino to this location around 4 years ago. He said they now they have kids of kids they used to tend to coming to their stores now which was cool. I wish them the very best.

    What can I say? I haven't had my hair cut anywhere else for the last 18 years. Happy cuts is where it's at. Thanks Chris, Linda, and everyone else. You guys rock!!!

    I called when they opened to ask if they accepted walk ins and I was able to get an apptmt 2 hours later! Linda was the one who cut my hair and she was amazing when I sat down she asked me exactly how I wanted my hair and asked clarifying questions which a lot of other stylists don't! She took her time to cut my hair and always checked in w me for the length and it came out exactly how I wanted! She was so friendly and easy to talk to! She even gave me lessons in how to style my face framing pieces and advice on my hair conditioning techniques I will now go wherever she goes Also very reasonably priced and cash only!

    A rude cut damaged the hair style, and made it abrupt shape all around from either side views or back views

    We picked this place after reading good reviews. We arrived in this place after 2pm and waiting for Chris. Chris finished one youth in about 10 minutes and served another client before us, saying that he will help us soon. One female dresser asked us to do the cut and i said no - waiting for Chris. Unexpectedly, another female dresser asked us in very loud voice saying there is no time, "Chris has another appointment". Chris did not indicate anything. So, I let the boy to go with her. In the beginning, we said we like to have long style. The boy had full thick long hair easy to style and cut in layered. The whole process made us uneasy. The female dresser complained his hair needs shampooed and his hair was uneven. (The boy cannot help with oily hair; he had shampooed a day ago before going to the shop, and he confirmed this matter a few times to me.) I questioned the female dresser whether Chris has really another appointment (at about 3:30pm), she replied to me that Chris has another appointment At Home later. Before dry blowing, I requested the left side hair to be trimmed or more layers. She talked a lot with her reasons why it was not layered, and she seemed to be reluctant to do it. Another female dresser showed a gesture how to do it, and she did it. (I gave one star for other dressers who were willing to help.) What made me feel being cheated was that Chris did not have appointment after he finished the client before us. Chris did some cleaning work for floor and counter after he finished that client. Other than the uncomfortable process, If the hair cut outcome were good, i could have given it more stars; however, the outcome is not what we like. The hair does not get the long handsome style he had in another place. The hair has not much layered. is a short style which we don't appreciate. His looks a sharp abrupt drop from top to thin bottom without layers One rude cut had cut a pinch of hair very short and damaged all possible good style - - as shown in picture attached

    I called as soon as the salon opened and I was able to get an appointment in the afternoon on the same day. Kim did a great job on my hair! I showed her inspiration pictures and requested a long layered, u-shaped cut, with front layers starting below my chin, and keeping the ends thick (no thinning shears). She delivered! I will definitely be returning back. I even referred my sister to her!

    Amazing quality on my hair. Although Linda is really busy, she makes time in her schedule to make sure we get what we need. Which is really hopeful for upcoming events she is really kind and takes her time even if it goes overtime when it closes 100% recommend.

    I saw this salon nearby on Yelp and was feeling bored with my long, black hair (probably belly button length and lookin' a little dry), so I called in and made a same day appointment 4 hours later for a haircut and color. The ladies here were very nice, skillful, and knowledgeable! I told them originally that I wanted to dye my hair all over with a medium chocolate brown color and I wanted my hair cut in layers. They recommended I get highlights instead so that it will look better when it grows out, and recommended how short I should cut my layers so that it would look good. I said ok sure, let's do it. I told them that I prefer the highlights be more red-brown than gold, & then I blindly put my trust in them. The result was amazing! They did a fantastic job, highlight + cut for $150. They are super skillful with their hair cutting and the highlight. She went super speed on my highlights. The process took about 2 hours. They also curled my hair afterwards. The ladies were very conversational and nice to talk to. My hair feels healthy and fun! They do not use bleach for the highlights! I will definitely try to come back again :)

    Choppy layers front face framing layer is longer than the back and the two front layers are different lengths

    I'm so unhappy with the haircut I got from Ms. Kim that I must write this review. I have thick south Asian hair and she definitely did not know how to cut my hair. I came in asking for her to just cut two inches, add some layers and frame my face. For starters she didn't show me what two inches was and ended up cutting about 3-4 inches and just have thinned it out everywhere because all my thickness is gone especially at the bottom. I never even asked her to thin it she just did it all on her own. None of the layers are of the same length they are all just random. When she framed my face she did it free hand with scissors?! Regular scissors and not like sheering ones. My front face hair are different lengths! And now it's already so short I don't even want to go anywhere else to fix it since it will just g wet shorter. I even checked images on here and reviews so I guess maybe all the good photos are of Linda and she's the only one that can do hair who knows. My first and last time coming here.

    Needed a Brazilian while my esthetician was on holiday so I looked up the highest rated locations…read moreand then read reviews until I found Nina at this location. Her name was mentioned several times all with great things to say so I scheduled the same day to find all the reviews were true. Highly recommend you book with her if visiting this location! Nina was friendly, informative, so kind, funny and overall professional. She took great care to ensure I was happy with my service. Really important to share that the waxers at EWC locations have a limited window of time to help you so it's important you show up on time so they have all that time to help you instead of doing a fast job to stay in that window. Rooms are very bright and they ask you to undress while the waxer is in the room. Not sure if this is for me as my esthetician's space has a light dimmer and she also provides privacy and a cover for you to use so you're not completely naked on your bottom half. She then uses those glasses with lights to do her job. Plays soothing music. Whole 9 yards. She also charges significantly less than this place. She charges me $45. EWC charges $70! She can't be beat especially when she books out an hour for your Brazilian vs the 15 minutes waxers get here. Place likely won't be one I come back to regularly but I will return for Nina when I need to.

    I had such a wonderful experience and just had to share! Rosemary did my armpit wax, and she was…read moreabsolutely amazing. She made me feel so comfortable from start to finish super professional, gentle, and genuinely kind. You can tell she really cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. Also, a big shoutout to Gabby at the front desk! She checked me in and was incredibly polite, welcoming, and caring. Her warm personality really set the tone for the whole visit. Both of them made the experience smooth, comfortable, and honestly enjoyable. I highly recommend coming here you'll be in such great hands!
