$12 haircut 2020, cash only.
Robert C.

Would you wait 25 minutes with an appointment and pay $20 for a 10 minute haircut? Called up this morning at 9am when they opened for an appointment. Earliest they could give me was 1pm. 12:05pm walked from home to the library to pick up books, and then left at 12:30pm to walk along El Camino Real and through the construction and closed sidewalk at Hollenbeck, to reach Lucky Cuts at 12:55pm. Second in line, for only with people with appointments. Shooting the breeze with another waiting masked customer outside the shop, as no waiting inside the shop. McDonalds in front of the shop has been closed for months, while Sunny Nails next door now offering $12 haircuts, and Madras Cafe next door jammed packed on this Saturday afternoon. 1:20pm, called in for my haircut. Get the older bald guy, while the other waiting customer gets lucky and gets the young attractive gal to give him his cut. Barber not only fully masked, but also wearing a face shield. Can't be too careful. He's all business as he has a full house today and tomorrow. All the barbers here are from the same Vietnamese family, with the older lady retired -too dangerous during the pandemic being a barber, even with customers masked the entire time. 1:30pm, haircut done. $8 haircut 2010-2018, $10 haircut 2019, $12 haircut 2020. Cash only. He wishes me a happy holiday, and goes on to the next person standing in line outside. Came here March 15 to get a haircut the day before the first lockdown. August 5, outdoor haircutting permitted, but no can do at Lucky. Came here December 5 Saturday to get a haircut before the lockdown tomorrow, Sunday, at 10pm shuts down all barber shops in Santa Clara. San Francisco, and Contra Costa counties. After tomorrow you'll have to get a haircut in San Mateo county, before they impose a lockdown in a week or two. Madras Cafe jammed with people trying to get a last chance outdoor dining meal. Only take out after Sunday. I give the Barber a $20 and tell him to keep the change. He'll need it, as the first lockdown shut him down for six months. Hope he survives the second lockdown, as this is still the cheapest place to get a haircut -but only if you have a very simple haircut style like me.

Did I mention it's cash only?

Best value haircut joint. $8 for a simple men's cut. And make no mistake: It's very much a cash-only establishment: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lucky-cuts-sunnyvale?select=e98dsRocqcbDXikTW87flA#e98dsRocqcbDXikTW87flA

Bad fade

Don't go here if you want a skin fade. You're welcome. I get that it's cheap but a simple skin fade should be standard for ALL Barber shops.

That's a freaking finger length.

It's very cheap to get a hair cut, but have to say, the service is not worth it even for such a cheap rate. No quality at all!!!

Yeye is a really good hair stylist and it shows! She understands what haircuts will suit you well…read moreand she isn't afraid to tell you her recommendations. I've seen her twice now: the first time was in November of 2024, and the second time was recently. The first time I saw her I got a short haircut and I was nervous about whether or not it would suit me as I've had long hair for the majority of my life. However, she reassured me that she wouldn't agree to the haircut if she didn't think it would suit me. In the end I was very happy and satisfied! She also helped thin out my hair as I had told her that my hair was feeling very dense and heavy. She's extremely knowledgeable and could tell that I had cut my own bangs haha. This second time I saw her I actually hadn't had a haircut since my first visit so it had grown out quite a bit. I told her I wanted a hush cut and that I had the same concerns about the weight of my hair. Again, she helped lighten the weight as well as gave me the exact cut that I wanted. She also didn't judge me for dyeing my own hair ash brown and even said I did a good job making it even! Overall, I highly recommend Yeye as a hair stylist and I'll definitely be seeing her again! She's very kind, easy to talk to, and an extremely skilled and knowledgeable hair stylist.

I came to Yeye quite some time ago -- I was so excited to see a salon providing color analysis…read moreservices in the area! It seems to be very on trend right now, and I was determined to polish my personal style. Also, you can bring a friend for a 2-person session! Yeye is very good at giving her honest opinion so.. don't come if you're not ready for honesty. She showed me colors I look best in, as well as colors that are not my best. At first I thought the analysis would only include color draping but she truly went above and beyond. She even told me what hairstyles would suit my face shape best, and what hair colors to go for. The whole process was thorough -- she even did an analysis of my makeup and was determined to find a lip shade that suited my complexion, which is something even I have been struggling with since I started wearing makeup. Yeye also gave me clothing recommendations such as neckline styles that would suit me. The experience felt personalized and I have incorporated her advice into my shopping habits even months later. After our appointment she sent me home with a bunch of style guides along with outfit and hair inspo. I truly feel she has helped me elevate my style this year. I shopped according to my color season and I feel a lot more confident in my personal style. After having blonde hair for so long she convinced me to go brunette and I have no regrets. I'd highly recommend Yeye's color analysis service to anyone looking to change up their look/wardrobe and elevate their personal style. (Disclaimer: my hair color was done at a different salon)

Made my appointment in good faith. Heather charges $75 if you cancel outside of a 48-hour window…read morebefore your appointment. I agree completely. Five hours before my appointment, Heather texts me to ask if I can come in with 50-minutes' notice. My first appointment. Who does this? I was shocked and explained that I couldn't do it as I work, which is why my appointment was scheduled outside of work hours. Heather countered with an offer of either a morning appointment or two slots in the middle of the afternoon. These appointments were for the next week. Still in opposition to normal work hours. Are you kidding me? Heather, your inability to professionally time manage is not your new client's problem. It is rude to ask a new client to come in early to suit you. I am early to every service appointment. Always. You should expect that your clients show up on time and have the funds to pay for it. Instead, because I have the audacity to take exception to your unprofessional behavior, you tell me I am entitled. Entitled because I have the expectation that a service provider be able to time manage? Entitled because I can't leave my job to be at your salon within 50 minutes of your text? I'll tell you what I should be entitled to...a $75 cancellation credit from YOU!

Not many hairstylists will do that!! This was one of the main reasons I kept coming back, besides the amazing job she does on my hair ;)) Throughout the entire process, she's been so attentive with what products she uses to ensure my hair is still healthy with the color I choose. My last appointment I went with cherry brown with some purple tones in it. It faded super nice and I still had people complimenting on my hair. I loved the color so much I decided to get it again with a little more red in it! I also love the curated cut she gave me. She never disappoints!! I absolutely trust her with my hair!! Her salon is located inside Salon Republic. Tip: I usually park in the Target parking structure and walk around the building. (Photos are from two different sessions)

I've been on the hunt for a new hair stylist, and Grace is truly that girl! From the start, she…read morelistened carefully to every detail I shared and took the time to go through my inspiration photos with me, making sure we were on the same page before she even picked up the scissors. I originally booked this appointment last minute after another stylist canceled on me the day before a trip - and honestly, I'm so grateful that happened, because I would've never found Grace otherwise. Sometimes things really do work out the way they're supposed to. She absolutely killed my haircut. I have curly/wavy, thick hair, and she knew exactly how to work with it - something that's hard to find. The shape, the movement, everything came out better than I imagined. Also, the vibe was amazing - super welcoming, relaxed, and just overall such a great energy the entire appointment. Grace is also genuinely so sweet, which made the whole experience even better. Safe to say Grace is officially stuck with me as a client. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who really knows what they're doing, actually listens, and creates an amazing overall experience.

If I could give this salon more than 5 stars, I would! First, it was my first time here, super easy…read moreto book online and they had available time same day of what I wanted done (which is something hard to find) and the person I got was PERFECT. Vanessa is smart, professional and got right to work. her confidence and ability to understand exactly what I wanted and what would look good on my hair was amazing. AND THE RESULTS WERE GREAT TOO! (: I have long, thick hair that can be difficult but she managed to make me feel so good and didn't show any sign of annoyance or uncertainty which I really appreciate because I love my hair. I never really write reviews but this is well worth it!! The salon is super cute and all the girls are very sweet and inviting, feels like everyone gets along and are friendly so the vibe is good. Great products offered by my favorite brands and very clean, can't wait for my next appointment. Thankyou again!

Go get yo hair done, girl!!! Treat yourself, as you should!! MARLISE is so talented, amazing,…read morepatient, kind, experienced... I could go on and on... she really has a sense of respect with her clients that I appreciate the most. She listens to exactly what you want and doesn't pressure you to do something she prefers or thinks would look better. Side story: I've been traumatized by other stylists cutting off a foot of hair, when I just ask for a 3 inch trim. Marlise has been the FIRST stylist that actually listens and did not go overboard. When she was done, I was surprised that she listened and even told her she could cut more! LOL!! Anyways, her studio is gorgeous, spacious and has good vibes all around. She is easy to book with and I met one of her assistants, Tori and she is a sweetheart too!! I had a mid-quarantine crisis back in July 2020 and cut/colored my hair myself. I did red tones, that Marlise worked her magic to lift out. Peep the pics!! Fast forward to July 2021, Marlise styled me with a Haircut, Foliage (sp?) and root smudge to get me back to rockin this bronde color :) Thank me later y'all, Glossed Studio will not fail you!
