Cut my hair here for the first time today and had a great experience from the moment I stepped in. Lexi was the lady who cut my hair and listened and did exactly what I wanted--which was just a 2 inch trim and she fixed my layers which turned out perfectly and I had no complaints. Great customer service and the overall atmosphere was very welcoming. I also enjoyed the sports bobbleheads and decor which was cool to look at. They accept both card and cash--but there is a charge if card is used. I'd definitely come back here the next time I need a cut! read more

Excellent! My daughter and I were looking for a no frills place to get our hair cut. Our normal salon was booked, so we found MVP Salon had good reviews. The owner took over the barber shop 2 years ago and now serves a wider customer base. She is very friendly and efficient, as is the other stylist. Reasonably priced, too. Basic salon, no frills and an great value and haircut. read more

MVP Salon - new hair style from Lexy! She's the best~ - Hair Salons Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I walked in after reading a few reviews while dropping off my son to AOPS. Lexy (Linh) is very kind and did an amazing job on my haircut. She showed me tricks to style it easily and tweaked a few things at the end since felt we needed some parts to be shorter. She did not hurry even though she had customers waiting for her! Thank you Lexy! I'll be back read more

Best place to get your haircut in Santa Clara!!! The owner is extremely nice and detailed oriented. I see a lot of men getting their haircuts here as well. read more

I walk past this salon all the time (the former Ken's ) which catered to men only ... until today when I was just doing my 10thousand steps from my house ... saw that they had lady customers... so I peeped. The beauticians were very welcoming so I asked if they would accept walk ins. Without a plan, a lady named Lexi (who was really Linh ) examined my hair (like a hair doctor) I said I wanted a trim and a full hair dye. She then explained that a hair touch up would be best instead of a total hair dye and would be cheaper and safer . We discussed the price and agreed to it . She came back and said she had the exact hair color that was needed. She treated my hair like it was very special. By the end of the day, I was fully satisfied. Linh even taught me how to style my hair with big curlers! They were a team with the other beauticians named T. This is my new salon now. It felt like I was home. Did I mention that they were a lot cheaper like $25 for a basic cut whereas others would charge $40? There was nonstop walk ins male and female of all ages! They were quick and good at what they do. Like it most coz they were not noisy too! Thanks ladies of MVP salon See you soon.. Bess read more

I've followed Linh from South San Jose where she used to cut hair for James. I can't always get to her now that she's further away from where I live, but when I have time, I make sure to try and make it in. read more

I've had my haircut here 3 times since moving last year to Santa Clara, and have been very happy. Most recently Lexi (Linh) cut my hair, and she was great. She cut it just the way I like, and is friendly and helpful with great energy that had me feeling good the rest of the day. I asked her if it was her spa, and she said she was the owner, but it is "our spa", explaining that it is run as a team effort by all the stylists there, which I really appreciate. The price is good, at just $20+tip. I see Lexi gets many top reviews here, and I can totally understand why. She is definitely now my ATF for haircuts. read more

I really like this place. I met ling a few years back and she was super patient with my lil guy when he'd get haircuts. Made all the difference when you have kids! She's skilled and always knowledgeable about styles. I dont see myself going anywhere else. ​ read more

This place is great. I always walk out super happy with my haircut. All of the ladies are very nice and polite. I recommend this place if you want an amazing cut read more

Love this salon! Lexie is a great stylist -- she really listens to what you want. She looked at a few photos with me and made suggestions, and I was really happy with the result. The service has always been fast (I phone first but have been able to get appointments in a hurry sometimes) and the price is beyond reasonable for this quality of work. I have old white lady hair (partially grey, kind of wavy) and Lexie made it nice. I highly recommend this salon! read more

I can't say enough good things about Lexi. After several months of letting my hair grow from pixie cut length to my shoulders, I decided to go back to the shorter cut. I showed Lexi a picture of the style I always asked for but the stylists I tried just didn't get it. Lexi asked a few basic questions & then got to work. I'm so impressed! She nailed the style &, when I did my hair myself, it practically fell into place. If you're looking for a real professional who's also warm & friendly, I can't recommend this lady highly enough. read more

The owner is fantastic and nice. She does the best fades in the area and trust me I tried a bunch. Cost is affordable too.

Fresh and clean. My go too hair salon. New owner Linh has been doing a terrific job. Thanks Linh read more

The team and vibe is so friendly! I recommend coming here for haircut. and the place is clean and bright.

Linh cut my hair for the first time last month and it is the best haircut I have gotten in twenty years and the most reasonably priced one in that same amount of time. Her attention to detail and skill are unmatched. It was totally worth the drive down from Palo Alto. Call her and book a cut asap! You will not regret it. She is the MVP! read more

I've been coming to Linh for the past 3 months now. She is very professional and gives excellent fades. Her prices are cheaper than nearby salons - you can also call to reserve a time slot. Highly recommended! read more

This personally happened to me yesterday. I walked into MVP Hair Salon hoping for a simple, positive experience, but unfortunately, it was the opposite. From the moment I arrived, the stylist seemed more interested in pushing her own agenda than listening to what I actually wanted. I clearly explained the hairstyle I was looking for, but instead of respecting my request, she argued with me and insisted on her own ideas. Getting your hair done should be collaborative and respectful, not confrontational. Because the stylist continued to push back instead of working with me, I ultimately decided to walk out without receiving any service. I believe a good stylist should listen first and make their client feel comfortable. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. read more

Super friendly! Terrific haircut! Great price! I will be getting all my haircuts here when I'm in the area!

Linh and all the ladies are very patient, caring and I either walk in or message Linh. She is super responsive and takes time to do what you are looking for, had no issues finding the time slot I want. They are flexible . I have come out always happy with my hair cut and get a lot of compliments from my friends. I would recommend this to anyone. read more

Lexi is amazing! Gets my haircut perfect every time and has a very positive attitude.

I'm 27 years old, asian dude, and care a lot about the small details. I usually go for a taper fade on sides with an undercut on top. Lexi, who owns the shop, comes off as very genuine, polite, and easy to work with. In my opinion, when it comes to minute details, she strikes a great balance between injecting her advice on what looks good versus what I prefer. Above all else, the haircut looks amazing, sharp, and classy. Excellent quality and experience. read more

I've known Linh for 2 years since I moved to the area. Initially met her at a different salon, and liked her attitude, and especially the attention that she puts to her cuts. I stuck with her since and followed her to her new salon. Linh is very friendly, and always available. She takes the time needed to make your cuts perfect. She is also knowledgeable with her craft and makes suggestions for cuts that would best match your style and hair type. Highly recommend!! read more

Don't go here if you value your hair looking the way you want it to. I was sitting in one of their chairs, in the middle of explaining what I wanted (a simple trim, just an inch off the sides and top), when the hairdresser interrupted me and began cutting my hair without letting me finish. What was I left with? Hair shorter than it's been since I was an infant, a different hairstyle than what I came in with, and -$20 to show for it all. I'm not sure how they messed it up so badly. Do they assume all men want the same haircut automatically? Perhaps if I had been listened to, she would have known that wasn't the case. Let my hair be a warning to you all--I know it'll be a warning to me during the next several months as I spend growing it back out to the length I originally wanted. Avoid this place. You'd be better off spending your $20 on clippers and cutting your own hair. I'm certain that if I had done so, my hair would have fared better than it did getting 'trimmed' at this establishment. read more

Apparently, I left a smaller tip than it deserved. I was distracted, thinking about something else while I tipped. The store provides excellent women's haircut service and results. 5 stars! I will come back soon read more

Linh went above and beyond my expectations. Seriously grateful that she could address my wonky long hair issues. I'm a believer. Will recommend to any and all. I'm a repeat customer. She's successfully helped me tame my mane and get rid of my layers. Professional and talented. Solid talent here. read more

One of the best haircut experiences I've ever had. I'm usually shy, but Linh helped find the right cut for me and gave me so many tips on styling and haircare. I appreciate you very much and will be coming back again! read more

My gal, Linh, got her entrepreneurial heels on and ventured on her own to take over Ken's Hairstyling salon! So thrilled she's starting her own business. Linh has been cutting my hair for years, and I'll go where she goes. She has the right attitude, so friendly and inviting. She's got the best skill sets, can adapt to any head and most hair. She's great with kids, and my husband doesn't trust anyone else to cut his hair. Her new shop will be named MVP Salon. Support small business and women-owned! read more

The new owner is good with hair cuts. New decorations are a nice improvement. Price is reasonable ($20)

Great little place to get a haircut and my wife has been there also for cut. Nice and clean with good conversation, if you want it, and nice cordial hairstylist. You won't be disappointed. read more

I was introduced to Ken by my Father more than 10 years ago. I've been going to "Kens.." to get my haircuts ever since... I always liked the quality of his haircuts, and his wit. We always had interesting conversations, and he was always there, so I knew I could always depend on him when I had an hour to squeeze in to get that haircut. Early 2023 he confided in me that he wanted to sell his shop, and move back to his homeland, to take care of aging family members. Late 2023 he did just that! He mentioned that he thought the woman he sold the shop to, would be a good fit for his customers, and thought she would might some fresh energy back into "Kens.." Well, that woman turned out to be Linh! I met her the first time end of 2023 when she first took over from Ken, when he was first on "holiday." She greeted me warmly, with a wonderful smile, and a very friendly wave of her hand to sit on the chair in front of her. I left that first visit impressed, and in every subsequent visit, more and more so, as her boundless energy and enthusiasm, have slowly won me over. I got the same haircut for 20 years, then Linh casually mentions, you know, I have this idea, it will make you look a lot better, ... well, we went for it, and when I looked in the mirror, a different person was sitting there looking back at me. We agreed, she is a magical beautician, but I still personally think she is a magician. Give her a try for yourself, you won't be disappointed. You might just find yourself next time you look in a mirror. Thank you Linh! You are truly one of a kind. read more

Ken has moved a chair outside and is taking one customer at a time (I called first to make sure there was no wait). Got a nice cut for $15 and he took his time using different clippers to give me a good old fashioned hair cut. This was my first time at Ken's (my "regular" place is still closed) and I will be coming back. read more
