I've been getting my haircut at 18|8 Palo Alto for 2+ years now, and overall I'm extremely happy…read morewith the experience. I've gotten my cut with James since the beginning and I can't say enough great things. He's personable, knows what he's doing, and is consistent. I'm a bit OCD with my hair, so having someone like James who listens and is great to work with makes all the difference. Also shoutout to the front desk team, they're always warm and welcoming when I arrive and leave. Hair type: lightly wavy hair, normal to thin thickness Length: short to short-medium on top, low fade on sides. Style: Kind of like a textured short quiff, a little pushed over to one side in the fringe area.

I appreciate her ability to communicate what's possible and what's not and offer her input and suggestions as well. The salon is small but the staff seem to work well and they often help each other out. Plus after you get your hair cut, styled, or colored you're right in downtown where you can show off your new look. If you're looking for a stylist in the downtown area I say give Jennifer a try!!

For the color treatment he left the color in my hair for so long my hair fell out in clumps. Later I found out he had gone across the street to get lunch from Safeway during my color. He over processed my daughter's hair reprocessed it twice to try to correct it. Needless to say it was purple green hue when it should have been blonde. My mother's cut was so bad it took 3 months to grow out. The worst part is he doesn't listen to you- he just does what he wants. I went to PETER for two years, he was good in the beginning. His patience has run thin and he hardly knows you are there now.

This review is long overdue…read more I'm a Bay Area native who has always believed that my hair was not my best feature. From Downtown San Jose to Santa Clara's Koreatown, I have had my hair cut by a variety of stylists across the region at different price points. I'm usually happy for a couple weeks. Then, the appeal starts to fade. I start fussing with my hair in the mirror or in the Zoom window. Miguel has been my barber for over two years, and he is the first one who has given me the confidence that my hair always looks good. I have none of the anxiety of sitting in the chair I typically have, and it's easy 30 minutes of cutting and conversation. Though the sports memorabilia on the walls aren't exactly my vibe, it doesn't matter to me when the haircut is supreme. A big plus is that it's super easy to make an appointment with him through Booksy with a wide selection of time slots. Even as my hairline recedes, I know Miguel will be there to make me look my best.
