I go in asking for long layers and quite literally SHOWED one of the stylists how much i wanted it to be cut and she then proceeded to cut WAY too much. The layers were also, extremely choppy. I'm extremely upset and will not be returning. Super unprofessional. read more

The worst place to get haircut.. my mom asked for light layers and to cut ends.. lady cutted more than what she asked and WHAT IS THIS CUT??? For $30 too! UNBELIEVABLE! SERIOUSLY?? Never coming back. read more

Jade Salon - Wtf is this?? - Hair Salons Near Me - Oakland, California

See all

Worst haircut I have had in my adult life. (When I was little, my mom decided for me, and there were some not-so-good moments there haha). Lady did not listen to what I said and just hacked at my hair. When shampooing her nails scratched too much on my scalp, when cutting, she barely paid attention and just cut huge chunks off and talked loudly in my ear to her friend in Vietnamese. I will be wearing my hair up for the next 3 months or so because that's the only way it looks ok. read more

Never go into a hair salon and proclaim that you want your hair cut short. Short to you may not be short to them. I'm sitting there with my palms sweating hoping that she would just STOP CUTTING. Every time I thought she was through, those god awful scissors would magically appear in her hands again and she just kept going and going and going (the energizer bunny got nothing on her). It was terrible and now I'm bald. No, no, not bald but pretty damn close, my hair is shoulder length! I know, it's not that short but I'm a drama queen. Yeah...maybe I'll get a Mohawk next time, oh! I think they do mullets too! read more

I found Ms. Hanh through Facebook. The pictures on her page looked great, and her price was fair. I messaged her, and she responded promptly. I got natural lashes which took about an hour. She told me how to take care of it. The lashes lasted 3 weeks! I recently got another set which fell a lot faster than normal. But Mrs. Hanh offered to do a fill, and I'm super happy with the results. Thank you! read more

I hate to write a good review for a place like a hair salon....why? Cause it sucks to have wait for a haircut, thus the less popular the place, the shortest the wait. But this is the BEST...I SAID BEST hair salon (for mens at least) I have ever been to. And not writing them the highest 5 star review would be defeating the purpose to what Yelp is for. As a guy, $15 haircuts are what we like (assuming you can still find them around). Cheap, quick, and you'll get it cut again in about 2-3 weeks anyways. In my life, I've been to a few $50 men's haircut places (usually out of desperation), and this place beats them all silly...for 15 bucks! BTW, this includes a shampoo! Ya, so this place isn't in a swanky location where I've gotten my pricey haircuts before, but that's OK. I'm there to get my hair cut...not really there for the "ambiance". Unlike terrible places like SuperCuts, where for $20 they give you 5 minutes, and what they can cut in 5 minutes is your haircut, PERIOD, whether you think they're done on not. This place is different! The time, the quality, the effort, the value....c'mon, you can't beat this place. I'm new to Asian neighborhoods, so not sure if this is typical of their prices or quality, but I'm impressed. BTW, I've been here 3 times or so. It's your typical Asian neighborhood establishment, i.e. they don't speak much English here. They'll talk to each other when they're working in Chinese and Vietnamese...then switch over to their broken English to speak to you. Greatest thing is they haven't the slightest clue that I'm also Vietnamese and understand absolutely everything they're gossiping about! It's actually kind of funny though. I guess they've never seen a Vietnamese guy before...maybe not one with a Southern California tan. haha $15 bucks for the haircut and shampoo...$5 for the tip. Can't beat that. read more

For most of my life, my mom has been doing my hair. Recently, i decided that I wanted a short cut and that required more skills than my mom had. I went to Jade's and asked her for her advice. I wanted the asymmetrical bob (the Rihanna bob), but was nervous that the short do would make me look even younger than I do now. She reassured me that it'll make me look a little older and she wont cut off too much just to see how it'll look. She saw that I was hesitant and just went for it. Before I knew it, I had a short haircut, and i'm glad she didnt let me linger too much. I've already come so far and was sitting in the salon chair already. I was very satisfied with the cut, until I went back 3 months later to get my hair trimmed when another woman made a more drastic cut. Half of my hair is red, and she strategically cut it so the back showed the layer of red. I LOVED it. I've gotten a lot of compliments for my cut and my hair color. I've been back one more time after that, before Lunar New Year and expected the place to be packed, but it wasnt. I didnt have to wait long to get my cut. The hair cuts have been consistent so far. The hair dressers are all very nice. They talk to you more if you understand Cantonese. A very fun group. read more

I used to like coming here the first 3 visits I made when I desperately needed my bangs trimmed and my hair relayered. But today I had the worse hair cut and I was really disappointed. It was from the only male hair dresser there. I made sure to tell him I wanted to keep my hair length and repeated it twice to make sure. However, he cut of 4 inches (yes its a huge difference) and gave me the most hideous layers that I did not ask for. I would have said something in the beginning but the damage had already been done. This is the 2nd time I've been disappointed with this place and I will not be returning. My scalp & neck is very sore from the intense scratches. I'd much rather pay an extra few bucks to have my hair done somewhere else. Like the other reviews, stay away from the other dressers! Ask for Jade! read more

I am writing this because I can see my mom getting not-so-happy here as she sits idling in her seat. I take mom here to get her hair cut and permed once in a while. The first hour and a half usually goes well - haircut & perming process. After she gets her hair washed, they seated her in one of the salon's chair and have her wait for at least half an hour or so before someone (usually Jade herself) can come over and chop up my mom's hair a bit and dry it. It doesn't make sense to me that they rather let my mom wait meanwhile help customers who just arrived. Three stars because my mom likes her hair permed here... ugh, the extra wait is ridiculous as the perm itself already takes forever! Also, we also had an appointment to avoid the initial wait. read more

Definitely one of the best places to get a haircut (for Asians especially) in Oakland. I never actually had Jade do my hair but she's super nice! Her staffs are okay, they do talk a lot in Vietnamese or Chinese but I've never heard them say anything rude about their customers. Make sure you tell them clearly what you want and ask questions! They are nice people! read more

I am a really big fan of the owner Jade. She deserves a five, but i've been here plenty of times and had horrible outcomes, so from now on, I am requesting Jade to cut my hair. the first time I had it cut by jade it was wonderful, the layers came out unbelievable like magic, they flow down so swiftly and in just the right amount of layers. i absolutely loved it! and it was only 20$! I then had my haircut by another lady who does okay with layers, not as wonderful but still decent, but the last time I went there, there was this young lady who I assumed to know fashion well, but my assumption was completely wrong. In this salon, you should really pay attention to your stylist's hair bc they will cut your hair exactly the same as theirs. It was that fobby haircut right out out of asia, that one really short layer and then the others just look horendous, it was so awful that she even curled it without even asking me. It looked really nice with curls, but its too bad I don't curl it everyday. I've been through so many of their stylists who are lower than mediocre, I am surprised that someone of Jade's talent hires them to degrade her store, that is what kept me away for a while, but the next haircut I will be having is at Jades with her, and only her. read more

I love Jade. She does my hair very well. Although her staff doesn't speak English, they are all nice. I love to have my hair washed there. Most of them do a great job and massage my head well. I recommend this place for hair cuts and styles. read more

Jade is a great person, my mom and I have been going to her salon for over 9-10 years now. She does great with the color, and I am always satisfied with the way she cuts my hair. Recently I got short layers and purple highlights around my crown. I've had the color for 2 1/2 weeks already and it is still vibrant! hardly any fading!!! I am always getting compliments and people always ask me where I get my hair done, same with my mom. Her prices are reasonable and her staff is friendly. The only thing I don't really like is that on a busy day she tends to skip from customer to customer and you may be in there longer than you want to be, which is why I took one star off. Other than that I would recommend her to other people. Also, for the people who complained about getting their hair cut to short, all you had to do was tell her how long you wanted it cut!!! and maybe bring a picture in. Come on kids, let's get it together, read more

I wouldn't go anywhere else to get my hair cut if it was the last salon on earth! haha. I have been going here since I was 8- I am going to be 25 soon, you do the math. My mom and my aunt both know Jade, and I only have her cut my hair. She does such an awesome job on my hair, I completely trust her to do what she wants. I must say that she is the BEST at cutting "swoopy bangs." haha. I love them so much, that I have brought my friends there, and they come from San Leandro and Union City to get their hair cut by Jade. ( There are a few other girls that cut well, but I don't know their names, and I don't have them cut my hair...) I have brought my husband as well, and Jade is the only one that cuts his hair now! She does it so perfectly, and she pays attention to the details of cutting his head because he has a "unique" shaped head. :) Jade also did my hair, my mom's hair, and my sister in law's hair for my wedding, and she did the perfectest job ever. I showed her a picture of what I wanted, and she went above and beyond what I had expected. She didn't even use a rubber band! My hair stayed in the same position from when she finished at 9am, to 1am the next day! Now that is some HARD core hair spray! I didn't even have to touch it up at all!!! The best part I must say is the hair washing... OMG. they massage the heck out of your head for like 10-15 mins!!! And they have nails so they scratch it too... oohhh it feels so good! haha. To top that, they blow dry, flat iron and use the BioSilkk stuff on your hair with NO extra charge :) I love it. Total price: $19!! I usually leave a 6 dollar tip :) I do recommend that if you want to have Jade cut your hair, you make an appointment with her, she's not always there on the same days. read more

Just got my lash extensions here and loved it! Don't let the small interior of the salon fool you, this place is a hidden gem. The salon ladies are so sweet and helpful, & Wendy is so meticulous with her lash service! My lashes are so soft, fluttery, and natural looking. Also, when I texted her after my appointment saying that I wanted my lashes to be slightly more voluminous she immediately told me I could come in the next day free of charge and get them touched up. Definitely will be coming back :) read more

Now that my short A-line bob has grown into a lob (long bob), I needed something to do to adjust the look since I'm trying to grow it out. I decided I wanted to go with an ombre dye. Jade wasn't there yesterday but I decided to go on since there wasn't any sort of wait. The ladies were on point! They spent a good two hours on me making sure the dye was on evenly. Come in with a picture of your desired hair-do and have it out. They were awesome in letting me know what they were doing, what color would work best, and if the desired color was reached. *One time I also came back cause I wasnt really satisfied, and the lady fixed it for free! read more

ANNIE: I absolutely LOVE Jade! Seriously, you go in there with the look you want and she delivers each time! I've been going to her for about a year now and I've never left her salon disappointed. The price did go up but still a very good deal! I recommended her to all my friends and they love Jade Salon too! PS, the Vietnamese shop/restaurant on the corner of Jade Salon is delicioso! :) read more

I am totally in love with my lashes Mrs.Hanh did a very good job on my lashes this is my 2nd time coming here to get it done. She will not disappoint you please go see her if you want some "Bomb Ass" lashes read more

I always go to Jade's because she can make any hairdo happen! Every time I want to change my haircut, I just show her a picture and she knows exactly what to do to recreate it perfectly. I've had haircuts, hair dyes, and hair oil treatments here, and the best thing to do is to request Jade to do your hair because she actually listens to what you say (and doesn't cut it too short, unlike some other people!) I've been coming to the salon for a long time, and I probably won't leave it anytime soon! read more

Jade Salon - updo from Jade (: - Hair Salons Near Me - Oakland, California

I would not be coming back here. The only reason why I'm putting two stars is for the owner, Jade, whom helped fixed my hair after it was destroyed by another lady. Please stay away from the lady with a purple streak on her hair. She doesn't know what she's doing. She asked me what I want, and yet went around and did something totally different then what I requested! I ended up with super choppy, uneven layers, and 1 inch bangs!!!!! Good thing Jade fixed my hair after seeing how hideous my hair looked. She had to get more hair from my crown to cover the hideous bangs the other lady gave me. If you ever come here, ask for jade. Stay away from the others. read more

the only reason why this have one star is because of Jade, the owner, she's nice and friendly. The other ladies however should not be working there. First of all they can't cut hair and one lady who washed my hair, it was the worst experience ever! Her nails were so long, scraping my head and she was gossiping with other people and she did not pay attention to my hair. It was long and painful. Stay away from here unless you want jade to do your hair. read more

I have been coming here to cut my hair for almost 10 years...I've had a few that I didn't like but that was because they were newbies. But ever since I started requesting for this one lady to cut it for me, every single time I go I have not regret cutting my hair. She is very good and knows and listens to how I want it cut. She pays attention to the detailing after she cuts and blow dries and straightens it. If she's not there I'll just come back another time. The ladies that washes my hair are always really good, it's always so relaxing and they have the perfect water temperature and I love the flow of the faucet. They will have small talk with the regulars there or co-workers and their conversations are always entertaining to listen to. (But it's in Cantonese) =) Price is pretty cheap compared to many other places. They can get pretty busy, avoid weekends. read more

I called to see if I can make an appointment with jade, but the person who answered the phone said she retired. I just found out today, she opened a shop across the street. Her new shop is called jade beauty studios. Look for her there! read more

I just got my haircut, the owner (Jade) did WONDERS for me! The hairwash+scalp massage+cut+blowout+flat-iron was done under an hour for only $21+tip! This was a mere fraction of the price I paid at the upscale Japanese salon (Arty) in SF which charged me extra for my long hair, AND it looked better too! When I came in, I had about 30 pictures of different hairstyles that I wanted to show her. Instead, all I ended up doing was saying, "I want layers like yours!" and showed her a picture with different bangs. During the process, I asked her who cut her hair (she must have been 40-50 years old, but her hair looked SO healthy, gorgeous, and stylish) and she said she did it herself. She was also rocking a very chic purple highlight near her bangs. I may return to ask her to do one for me but in pink! Also, today was a Saturday, and we all know how busy things get on the weekends. I called to make an appointment, but they told me to just come right on in because they weren't busy. When I came, I realized that they weren't busy because there were 4-6 stylists and they all worked VERY quickly to get people in and out! During my time there, I also noticed that it is a very kid-friendly place, as multiple parents brought their kids in to get cuts. Overall, if you have Chinese/Vietnamese hair (I'm mixed), this place knows just how to deal with it! read more

come here all the time to get my oil treatment. Reasonable price. would definitely recommend jade (the hairstylist)/ owner to do your hair instead of the others lol read more

Make an appointment? What is the point? I had an appointment at 12 but didn't get cut til 1-1:30. Took bout 2-3 hours at the salon cuz she does 2-3 people's head at once! But let me just say JADE IS THE BEST! She is the only person that has ever cut my hair to my liking. Although she does a million and one things at once, I don't mind, she is a busy woman lol. I walk out feeling like a new woman every time, besides the fact that there is never no parking, you will be happy in the end. read more

Jade is at a new location. https://www.yelp.com/biz/jade-beauty-studio-oakland. I called to make an appointment with Jade at Jade salon and they did not tell me she no longer works there. So they booked an appointment with me. I drove twenty minutes to my appointment to show up and realize she isn't even there. What a huge waste of 45 minutes of my time! read more

for all of u who dont know... i was born in an igloo in da 907, grew up in sco, moved to lala land in 96 and moved back up to the yay in 2000.. pre displacement from the city that I love.. 828, designer and PnR were prime spots for my fades.. Patty was the master of getting you draped, cut and out of your chair in less than 10 minutes.. Ok, so i got sick and tired of driving out to the city every time i needed a haircut... I'd always end up chilling out in the city afterwards and I especially hated not being able to do up my hair and having lil freggin hairs poking the shit outta my upper back and neck.. So one day i just drove around international looking for some haircuts spots and i found Jades Salon. im a regular here now so the people like me over here (u cant help but love me and my bomb ass personality.) Oyea, and i tip like a champ. Id have to say the best part about the whole jades salon experience is the head massage... man o man.. feels so good that i tip the massage lady 5 beans everytime.. now she gives me 10-15 minute head massages right before every haircut. Oyea and... Moon cuts ok, Tina used to be my favorite but i think jades cuts the best hair.. read more

Do not go here. What a waste of money and time, this salon is the worst place I have ever been to. Unprofessional, dirty, a waste of time and money. I had some much bleeding into my roots, the highlights length, size and color was way off. It did not even look close to the picture I had shown her. Instead of her helping me fix my hair herself she had some relatives or friends or who ever they are do my hair. They did not speak one ounce of English nor do they know what they are doing. After all that it still didn't look any better and jade had the nerve to charge me a second time. I get so mad thinking about how much time and the money $125 I spent here. I could have done a better job my self or gone to another place and spend my money there. read more

I started coming to Jade a couple of months ago by a referral from a co-worker. I love that she uses a razor to cut my hair and always will give me a different cut or look if I ask her. Sometimes I have to wait to be seen but I can tell u its worth it. Her prices are great and she is always so sweet. I will definitely continue to bring my business here. read more

I agree with Emahlee. Never go into a hair salon and proclaim that you want your hair cut short. Short to you may not be short to them. I've come here twice after hearing such great reviews from my mom and my aunt. And noticing how great their hair came out, I decided to give this place a go. The first time I came here I wasn't really sure how I wanted my hair to be cut and the lady there sure as hell didn't help me out either. I felt so rushed to choose a hairstyle out of this book she handed me. And at the end, it was so-so. The second time, I decided to be bold and go for a short bob. I got my hair done by Jade. And my god was it the most horrible experience ever. She brought me to wash my hair, and while washing my hair, her long nails scratched my head sooooo hard. I don't know what kind of scalp massage that was, but it was really rough. Then she brought me to the chair and I showed her a picture of a Katie Holmes sort of bob. And she told me "Yes..that's a really popular look". So I assumed she knew what she was doing. By the time I thought she was finished, she went ahead and again chopped off some more. I thought she was done after the blow dry, but NOOOO, save the best for last. One of those electric razors appeared and I was panicking. Since when did this look include an electric razor?? After she was done, I was almost in tears. I've never had my hair cut this short and after I left her salon, I started bawling in tears. Never again will I go back. I guess you do pay for what you get. read more

So Jade has been cutting my hair since I was a baby. Always went to her every time. So I called in last week to set an appointment they said okay that should be fine. I went there and they said oh she didn't come in today but I really needed to get a cut so I was like I guess if anything she can fix it in a couple of days. Maybe he was new or didn't know how to cut girl hair but it looked like a huge mess the more he tried to fix it the worst it got so I left. I called Jade' s personal number to ask why she didn't show for my appointment and when she can fix my hair, to my surprise she told me she moved a block down and they have been saying she was still there to take her customers. I'm so disappointed they messed up my hair and lied to me but so glad I found her and she fixed it back. For anyone that is looking for the REAL Jade she has a new store just down the block. It's called JADE BEAUTY STUDIO located at 735 INTERNATIONAL BLVD. OAKLAND, CA. 94606 & the store number is 510-301-7128. read more

The only reason I like coming here is because the owner Jade. She's nice and works fast. She makes sure the customers are taken care of. So this other lady was doing my highlights and her friend came over, told her to go finished the dessert she brought then work on my hair. I'm like are you serious? I already been here for 3 hours. I don't need to be here for another 3. If you decide to try this place out. Look for Jade. All the other ladies are unprofessional. read more

I have been going to Jade's since I can remember. I trust no other place and they always do my hair how I want, or how it looks best for me. Jade's can be packed, but she makes room for you. They always accomodate their guests. I always get shampoo and conditioner because it feels SO good. They're sort of pricy, but I can always count on them to get a job well done. read more

I've been coming here for years and have not had one bad hair cut. My preferred Stylist is the owner. She's awesome! She also does a great job with highlights. The price is reasonable - a hair cut $15-$25, color $40 and up depending on what you're getting, of course. read more

This place has heart! They always take care of me with little or no wait, no fuss, and with a friendly attitude. Today I stopped by as they were sweeping up, the guy with the cool blond highlights in his hair gave me a great hair cut. He didn't skip any steps even though it was clear they were past closing. Thanks for the great service! read more

i went here after prom to chop it all off into a...its not a bob its really just some bangs on the side now. im happy with what they've given me. ummmmm pictures are the best way to go. wash and cut ($19) and a $5 tip read more

I love this place because they have amazing price and customer service. I usually get my hair done by jade herself or younger guy(Tom, i think its his name). I really like the guy who does my hair, he is pretty fast. I dont think nobody can beat their price for the service. I always get regular cuts or layers for just $22 and i am happy every time. read more

I waked in and was seated by very nice ladies. When it was my turn, she asked what style I wanted. Since I wanted something new, I gave her the option to pick something cute to match me. My coworkers likes the new hair. I absolutely love it and how it's a new me but not hot enough to change my personality. read more

i do enjoy coming here on occasions where i need my fix. I dont appreciate them talking in chinese in front of me for too long, its offensive and i find it insensitive at times. Other than that i love this place, i was afraid of the shampooing of my hair. I felt they were aggressive with my head, but overtime i have become used to it. I always ask for Jade to do my hair as i always enjoy her company and friendly face. read more
