I was told to see Hannah but I ended up with Lam (Liam?Lan?) and she was great. I asked for layers for my mother and showed her pictures. It was a trim with layers. She was FAST and my mom said she liked her hands - she was gentle on an elderly head of hair. My mom was very happy with her haircut as was I. I will go back this week for my own fast, good cut. I read all the reviews and I totally get it. It seems the negative reviews just got a hit or miss moment with the barber/stylist. But I paid attention to yelp (!!!) and I made SURE to ask for one of the younger ladies and not the elder woman. They all seemed efficient and moved people in and out quickly. It is a busy, chill salon. I used to get extremely expensive haircuts where I would get anxiety just to go sit in the room with all these fancy frauds. But this salon feels like your uncle or aunt is in the garage with the scissors and you're just gonna sit in the chair and go eat lunch in the kitchen with your cousins. Sure it doesn't have the BEST smell but you're after a $15 haircut, not a french perfumery. They get the job done without a lot of fuss. They are polite and friendly enough -- they are not giving anyone a yank and pull for a $250 haircut + tip. This is the real world. Get in, cut hair, pay, leave. Nice. read more

Yesterday I got my haircut here because my mom recommend it. I normally get my hair done somewhere here, but the price was cheap. What I didn't realize at the time, I would regret it my decision. At first it started okay. There were a few people ahead of me and they said I had to wait. After a few minutes ago an older Asian lady came up to me and said she would take me. We made small talk as she washed and shampoo my hair. But as soon as I sat in her chair, that's when the problems started. I told her that I wanted her to cut off eight inches. When I tried to stand up and show her exactly what I was talking up, she wouldn't let me out of the chair. So I tried showing her exactly where I wanted it, like around my armpit, and she was like fine, fine. It was like she wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible. When she was done, it was a lot shorter than I wanted. And honestly, I'm okay with it. The only thing I'm not okay with was the customer service. The older Asian lady who did my hair was in such a rush to finish, she didn't listen to what I wanted. She left a piece of my long wet hair on her table with stuff and she didn't blow dry my hair when it was done. I looked like a wet mop. The haircut in general was fine but the customer service was horrible. When you go to a place for some kind of service you are suppose to feel welcomed. I didn't feel that at all. So the next time I get a haircut I'm gonna stick to my regular salon. They may cost more but at least they have better service. I'M NEVER COMING BACK HERE read more

I was very pleased with this place. I was highly recommended by my friend to come and see Holly. She is an experienced and highly knowledgeable lovely lady. This place is very friendly and clean. You can definitely feel the friendly atmosphere. Love this place. Thanks a million Holly!!!! read more

New to the area, I went looking for a new barber and luckily found this place. Best haircut experience ever. I Relaxed, like getting a massage while she washed my hair and did the haircut. Perfect attention to detail. Low price, too! read more

Ended up here by default as my other go to spot was closed and would be closed for another couple of weeks. I was hesitant at first but decided to take a chance at a new place and someone new. My fears were soon long gone once I was helped by Tracy. I didn't have an appointment and was considered a walk in. I didn't wait long. There was a grandmother and her grandson who tried to get their hair cut but failed so lucky me. I asked for a regular cut with a number one clipper. Within a few minutes Tracy had me looking like a million bucks - counterfeit at least lol. She even shampooed my hair before cutting! All in all, with a short friendly conversation and discussion about her daughter and my children, I was very pleased with my decision to get my well needed haircut here. Excellent service, value pricing and clean atmosphere - this is a good place for a cut. Men, women and children- they've got you covered without breaking the bank. I'll be back soon. Thank you! read more

Great prices. Use Hannah she is the best for hair cut and color. I used the old lady but was not happy with her.

I LOVED Holly but she's on vacation until the end of March and it's been 3 months so I needed a haircut now. The owner said "COME IN ANYTIME" I called 8 days in advance. My brother took me today the 13th at 10:30 and the place was packed. "Can you come back in an hour?" So home went. As an extremely disabled senior leaving the house is quite an ordeal. So I called an hour later because I just knew they were lying and they were because now it's 2+ hours. m If you don't mind waiting for 2 hours and the entire place so rude....their customer service is terrible. The man behind the desk could care less whether you come back or go elsewhere. I'd rather pay more and get good service. Never going back read more

Place is horrendous. They have some great barbers but a majority are terrible. The old lady (owner I believe) is incompetent, she asked how I wanted my hair and then cut it, all she did was give a #2 on the bottom half of my back. She said she was done so I expressed my unhappiness with the cut and she proceeeded to tell me that I was wrong and that this is how a haircut should be.... If you're okay with a mediocre haircut under $15 this place is great, but if you want a haircut you can feel confident in then you should definitely go elsewhere. P.S. this was not directed at me. A customer walked in and asked what the wait time would be and the lady would not answer her, eventually said "get out, no time for you". I thought that was terrible customer service, I would definitely not come back if that was directed towards me. (Not that I plan on ever coming back to begin with...) read more

Came to get my hair done for my wedding and Yen did an amazing job with the tight curls! I will definitely be back when I need my hair done!! Thank you very much Yen for cheering me up and sharing with me the day you got married. We definitely need to bring old school upbringing back. I wish you prosperity and happiness read more

Great place for haircut. Great service. Went there after 6 and got walk-in. Very Friendly staff. read more

This is a hidden gem in a very non-impressive looking shopping center. It does have a bunch of other solid businesses, like Kennedy's Karne, Wrangler BBQ, & Agrusa's Subs. You just have to know that, because they can be easily overlooked. On Tuesday, I suddenly decided that I had to get my hair cut, while I was watching TV. I was watching NCIS, and did the "her hair is really cool, I should get my hair cut like that!" bit. Because I work late, it would have to be Saturday. I drove by the place in Carmel Mtn that I had used several times in the distant past. I couldn't remember the exact name, so I had to Yelp it from the parking lot. Yeah, not good. So I had to come up with a better option. The fancy salons in the area were charging $50+ for a wash/cut/style, so I'm not playing. Modern had great reviews, so I decided to give it a try. I showed up Saturday morning about 10am, and they were already busy. You can tell that this is a family-owned place, and they seem to have tons of regulars. I only had to wait a few minutes, and Lan was available to take me. She did an awesome job! I described what I wanted, and she had no problem making it happen. Wash/cut/style was $15, plus tip. So worth it! I can see why they have so many regulars, considering they do a ton of other salon stuff too. I saw everything from nails to perms, color, brows, and just styling. I'll be back! read more

It's my first time coming to this salon my friend recommended it to me. My experience for the first time is amazing Hollie is my hairdresser who handles me she is very nice and good to her client.

This salon might not be in the best part of town, but it is a gem in Escondido. I have been going to Vivian for my gel sets and pedicures. She has wonderful customer service and gives the best massages for the feet and hands. Plus, my gel sets last over 2 weeks. She is kind, professional, and cares about her customers. I would highly recommend Vivian for a manicure/pedicure. read more

Not happy with the result. Choppy and uneven haircut. Very friendly staff but am not happy with the results. Not blended at all. Will be looking for a new place to take my boys. read more

I like this place, they have good customer service. They colored and cut my hair , the lady was nice. I bring my son and husband here too. Both were so satisfied with their service. It's is gem here in Escondido. I don't need to go to Mira Mesa for my hair cut . read more

Old lady doesn't know how to do scissors cut man. Like I just don't recommend a cut from her.

Large place, they took walk-ins even though maps said appointments only. Great customer service and whatnot, though the hairdresser cut my boyfriends hair uneven on one side. As a woman's hairdresser myself, I'd recommend they stop using the combs and just invest in the correct guides. Other than that it was a decent place. Clean and quick read more

This review is for a budget hair styling salon - if you check, there is a single dollar sign indicator, so you know you aren't walking into a lounge atmosphere where they serve wine, walk about in stiletto heels and imbue a sense of hauteur couture. This family-owned shop is friendly, efficient and offers good value for the money you spend. Lan was my hairdresser and I think she's great. She's obviously skilled, she has a ready smile, but she doesn't insist on talking unless you make conversation first. She provided me with a great perm and cut for less than half of what I have paid elsewhere in Escondido. Since that's why I left the last place I had used, this place is a gem. I would suggest to the shop keeper that it would be a relatively simple thing to put up barriers between the storage shelves and the shop. Doing this one simple project would give the shop a lot of visual appeal. I woud be willing to help - it's that easy. But that's about the only suggestion I have - their salon isn't in a high-class mall or shopping outlet. I wouldn't remodel beyond the neighborhood. Getting to know the people who own and operate a place makes a great difference in how you feel about where you spend your money. This family has my respect, not only for what they're doing now, but also for how much they endured to get where they are. I'm a new regular. read more

This place is great if you just need a simple cut! I just needed my medium length hair cut to just above my shoulders and it was done! No frills, no hassle. I did not have any wait, but I went on a weekday. I don't know if I'd trust them for a complex style of cut, but for $12, the one I got was a great deal :) read more

I took a HUGE chance on this place because of other reviews, I recently got a bad haircut and came here because all I wanted was a few more layers added to the front of my hair...wish I didn't come in, I was pretty desperate though! I got hanna and she was VERY nice but I shoulda listened to my gut and walked out as soon as I saw her work station...dirty brushes and scissors on top of all that she gave me a botched up trim, I noticed after I got home and looked closer in the mirror...I feel bad I have to leave a bad review but if your looking for a good cut....you'll have better luck looking on Instagram read more

Prices are great, but they can't keep track of who arrives first so be prepared to wait longer than they say

I had the greatest experience. The lady that cut my hair made me feel at ease. She took the time to explain and made certain I was happy with my hair cut. read more

Holly is the best!! She does such a great job with color and she's so sweet! We went to her after being turned away at another salon down the street (Nga salon - see that review). Holly was able to take my daughter without an appointment to put highlights in her hair. She was fast and very affordable!! She doesn't do ombré or bayalage techniques but if you want highlights, frosting or color she will do a great job! She will work with you and if she doesn't get what you like right away she'll fix it! My daughter didn't explain that she wanted a more natural highlight vs chunky and we made a second appointment (3 days later) to add more highlights and she didn't even charge us!! She said she wanted her to be happy with her color. wow!! We will definitely be going back to her for all our hair color needs! By the way, she does great cuts too! read more

I've been looking for place to get trim on my hair. Everywhere I went was an arm and leg for just a trim. Since it's close to where I live I thought I'd give it a try. Went in and was warmly greeted, only waited about 5 mins. Hannah did a great job, and it was only $12!!! Definitely going back to this place. read more

I learned of this business on Yelp; I'm price-concious (another reviewer said she was very happy with their charges), it's close to my location, and I needed a good, simple haircut, so off I went. I was impressed by the immediate attention to my presence, even though all 4 operators were occupied, and my walk-in wait was only 5 minutes on a Friday afternoon. Holly introduced herself and asked me how I'd like my haircut done, and then commenced to do it exactly as I'd described. This is a family owned and operated shop and they know what they're doing, for sure! My great haircut was very inexpensive, and I'll be back again next time and ask for Holly! read more

Holly is awesome! You will be more than happy with your cut, and not go in debt to look beautiful.

One of the BEST $40 haircuts I've ever had! BUT... I didn't pay 40 bucks. I paid $9. Plus a $3 dollar tip. (should have tipped $5 but only had $12 on me) Ask for Tony. He takes his time, is a master with scissors/clippers and doesn't quit til YOU are satisfied! read more

The manager lady here is the biggest bitch and you can never be right, you are always wrong, it's either her way or the highway but Tony's haircuts are the only reason I come back read more

This is my favorite place to get my eyebrows and upper lip waxed they always do a very great job either holly or the very tall and skinny woman are the ones doing the waxing...unfortunately i dont think they are good under pressure and time crunch they are not very organised either but i will continue to go for my brows and lip waxing! and ya cant beat the pricing either! read more

Best place for a cheap cut in Escondido.

Inexpensive, great environment, great workers, great results! Never going anywhere else as long as this shop is open.

This place is great! Got me in and out quickly and gave me exactly what I asked for, which is rare. (BTW this was not a trim, I had 6 inches taken off) And you can't beat the price! Oh so happy! read more

Reading all these good reviews on here, that's why I came here. First of all made an appt at 3:45pm didn't get seen till about 4:15pm. Got my hair shampooed by an elderly woman believe to be the owner or something. After shampooing she told me to blow dry my own hair while she takes another haircut. Are you freaking kidding me!!!!! Mind you I'm paying for this service. She still had the nerves to charge me full price. Never again coming here worst experience ever. Not to mention they so rude read more

Holly is the best! Or maybe it's Hollie. Either way, my daughter went to get a masculine cut. She is almost 13. All the other places didn't want to do it because she had such long beautiful hair they kept trying to convince her that she didn't want what she said she and what she HAS wanted for 2.5 years. Took her to modern haircuts plus, and in less than 20 minutes her insides matched her outside I've never seen my daughter so happy. Thank you so much modern Haircuts Plus. We definitely will come back. read more

I've been going here since I was 8 and I'm 23, and there is a reason, they know what they are doing, and make me look great no matter what i want. Everybody I've told about, has been really stoked on them. 5 stars. No doubt. read more
