Customer service: 4.2 Price for Men's H/C: 4.7 ($15+) I could easily leave 5.0 for service and price but that wouldn't be fair even though I've been coming here for more than 15 years. I use to keep my stylist in Fremont but my neighbor turned me on to this place and I never looked back. Typically you walk in and get greeted unless they're all busy, but they have a sign-in sheet which helps them keep on track with customers waiting. Also just note the person/stylist,if you have a favorite, on the sheet. Most people just walk-in so don't be surprised if you wait; so if you are under a time constraint then ask how long the wait will be (common sense). I've been coming so long; but still follow the rules by signing in and wait. But when it's my turn, I just sit in the chair and shoot the bull with Simon while he cuts my hair, then pay and off I go! And as for the price in comparison to what other barber shops charge these days ($40++), this place is super reasonable! BTW, I've had the other stylists cut my hair when Simon has been on vacation. V and Lee get the job done but I count the days until Simon returns, LOL read more

First time trying this salon and I'm so happy with my haircut! I had layered cuts before at other salons, but it never really looked layered. This is the first time I truly love my hair so much. I honestly didn't expect it to turn out this pretty, but Ivy surprised me! She did an amazing job and made my hair look so beautiful. Highly recommend for women's haircuts in town!

Asked to trim and thin out the back of my hair and even out my bangs a bit which were ruined by the previous place I went to, the guy literally cut off all my hair and even had the audacity to add a tip by himself. 我跟幫我剪頭髮的男生講說我要吧頭髮後面整理一下，剪短一點，和把前面稍微修一下。他把我頭髮全部都剃光了，也敢給自己加小費。 read more

Time to update this review. Their extended hours until 7pm are an absolute game-changer for people like me with busy schedules. Not only do they accommodate my hectic routine, but their consistency in delivering exceptional haircuts is truly impressive. Every time I visit, their stylists provide a good cut that perfectly matches the requested style. They have undoubtedly earned my loyalty for my kids cuts! read more

Haircut is a hit and miss...I often have to go back home and fix up issues. I get it, they want to get customers in and out so they tend to go quickly but please... Don't need up a haircut because of it. read more

Salon Fx is my go-to place for a simple haircut! V understood the assignment! Whether it's a quick trim, adding curtain bangs, and more, she takes care into her work and I haven't left disappointed. She also gives me style and haircare tips for my new hairstyles, which shows she truly cares about her clients! For a woman's haircut, cost starts at $20. I will keep coming back here for V! read more

Long time customer, but they lost me as a customer today. Have always seen V, and didn't mind the wait, however, today I waited for 40 minutes for either V or the Asian guy with long hair to become available and it was a waste of my time. I called ahead and was told to come in. I did just that and I signed in on the clip board when I got there. A lady came in for haircut and highlights signed in after me. When the Asian guy was done with the customer, he looked over at the lady that came in after me and asked if she was ready. I stood up and said I was next in line and came in before she did. He looked at me and said she called ahead, and I said so did I. He shrugged and resumed to work on her as she sat on the chair. I get it. The Asian guy served the lady first because there is more money in women's hair cut and highlights compared to a man's haircut. I don't get it that we Asians (I'm also Asian) always put other races first and expect fellow Asians to yield. This isn't how you do business. I don't do business with businesses behaving like this. read more

They dont follow instruction from the customer they are not well trained and they are slow And they donr color the hair well read more

I wasn't entirely sure about cutting my hair short, but Lee, one of the stylists, said "why not??!" I felt so confident! He did an amazing job, hyping me up and being so charismatic, but focused on making me feel awesome. Great customer service, they're so welcoming and friendly, you won't feel awkward while getting your hair cut! I'm absolutely coming back again for my next haircut. Thank you Lee for making my first (very) short hair experience wonderful! read more

I've gotten a haircut (all just high fades) here a total of three times with three different barbers / stylists at each visit. Admittedly, my standards aren't that high: if I don't need to correct a mistake with my clippers when I get home, I'm happy. I haven't had to do that with these guys yet; they took their time to inspect the cut after finishing and corrected things if needed. Give them a try, you may find that they are better than most of the more expensive places around Elk Grove. I've also realized that I'm the 70th reviewer so sorry everyone, 69 was great while it lasted. read more

Kelly butchered my hair. Simple fade and asked specifically for the top not to be cut. She starts cutting the top and when I told reminded her I didn't want it cut she just stopped after taking 2 chunks out. Then proceeds to cut me a side part, that's not how I do my hair‍. read more

Horrible wait time, he needs to hire more people! He always keeps the ac off as well when it's 80 degrees inside

Great price, short wait, and great haircuts without the hour long haircut. Just straight to the point. I have a teenager who just wants a quick good cut and Simon provides that every time! Don't get me wrong I get the whole barber vibe and I love that for my husband but for a teenager who doesn't even care much about how he looks. It's not worth me spending $20-30 on it lol read more

Kelly is the absolute best :) Very consistent and clean cuts. Walked in at a weird time and waited an hour for her. Worth

I just want to say they have amazing communication the lady Vy I believe is how you spell her name was an amazing lady and cut my hair perfectly I 100% recommended salon fx. read more

Go see Kelly. She does an EXCELLENT job at cutting & styling your hair!!! You won't be disappointed

After having to cut my own hair during the covid season I was ready to go back to a barber but notice I lot of shops raised their prices to make up for loss income, including the likes of Supercuts and Great Clips. So I was happy to find this place that still had reasonable prices for men's haircuts. I called to check price and they were spot on. Was also told no wait so when I arrived 20 minutes later, there was not wait and just sat in the barbers chair right after walking in. The gentleman that cut my hair asked me what I wanted and did just that quickly. I suppose it would have encouraged me to give 5 stars if he took his time and checked for details, but apparently he knew what he was doing and I wasn't asking for a complex cut (mostly shaved fade). I was happy with my new cut and tipped him 20%. read more

I have been using this salon for my haircuts over the last ten years. The prices always been affordable and the hair cuts were ok. Just OK to shorten your hair and wait til it grows until next time. There barbers and stylists were giving an acceptable services for the prices they charged but with no or Zero Consistency. It is as if you are to get a different haircut every time you go there. Unfortunately ever since those couple ladies who were giving the acceptable haircuts are gone, the service has terribly gone down. Simone and Lee are supposed to be the stars of this place. I came here and I informed Lee that I need a good haircut because I am Traveling and attending a formal party. I also offered him upfront that I will pay double what he charges and a good tip. He took the challenge and forced me into coloring my hair. Unfortunately I accepted. The total came to $95 with tip I paid $110. Lee used a lot of spray to shape my hair into something presentable until I got home and washed my hair and I discovered countless flaws. Too many uneven spots and too many spots that color was unevenly or mismatching. The next day I went back the the shop was closed. I attempted that day two more times, still the shop was closed with angry customers outside. Finally the following the I found the place open. Lee was not present, so Simone took a look and offered to fix. The fix some what improved the color situation but touch ups to fix the uneven cuts by Lee further damaged my hair. I have plenty of healthy hair on my head and as I am aging, I am becoming more and more picky about my haircut and hairstyle. The end result, I am terribly disappointed. While I was at the shop the second time, I asked Simon how come the were closed the day before? He said because of Covid people doesn't want to work. I told him about angry customer and told him to post a sign outside that says what days you're closed some people come and don't wait assuming you're on lunch or you're about to open. Anyways, the haircut and color job I got is not worth $110, it doesn't even worth $10. Now I had to wait months for my hair to grow so I can get it fixed. If you take pride in your profession, don't ever let a customer leave unhappy!!! read more

My bf got a haircut here 30 minutes ago because he read good reviews and needed a quick haircut close by for a family event tomorrow. He got his hair cut by some old lady, who I am not sure why is working there. She f up his hair like her hand isn't stable and it's all zig zag, fade is horrendous, it's fucking bad. Trust me. Yes, it's $10, yes, that's cheap, but come on, people might think, "oh it's only $10" but ain't nobody working hard out here to give up $10 for a more than amateur haircut!!! Wtf!! I am by no means a barber or whatever, but I cut my bf hair when he doesn't have time to schedule one and I do a better job than what he received today. I am in disbelief and mad at the same time because he wasted money on a haircut, cut by someone who doesn't have the skill to do it. Lol anyways, he looks pretty funny I feel bad for him. Oh and I had to try to fade his hair better, but I can only do so much oh well, lesson learned. read more

Vi takes care of me every time I come here. I've consistently gone here for almost a year and I always ask for her to cut my hair. She's really sweet and really good at cutting hair. She takes care of her clients and listens to how they want their hair done. I've also watched her cut other people's hair and she definitely doesn't rush and takes her time. Vi also does waxing and she touches up my eyebrows whenever I need them cleaned up. Really, any of the other barbers are good too because Simon and another guy had cut my hair when Vi wasn't working and the results are consistent. read more

* Solid cuts for men. I've gone to 4 different stylist (Lee, Simon, Vee, and can't remember the last lady's name thay just cut my hair) , and all four do a great job on fades for $13 (tip not included). 5 stars * Was with a female friend on 2 occasions, and cuts for women costs more, for essentially the same haircut/trims. Was simply told that women's hair was more difficult. Ummm... ok. One of the women I brought simply got a trim to even out the bottom of her hair and get rid of her split ends... took off about 1.5/2 inches... was in the chair half the time I was and was charged more. 2 stars * Mask rules are not enforced AT ALL... so all anti maskers should be comfortable here. If you're on the other camp, go elsewhere. Don't care either way, but don't have signs up about masks being mandatory, then not enforce it. Just take the signs down. 1 star. Average 3 stars. read more

Simon really understands what I wanted when he cuts my hair. He does a great job and provides great customer service. I've been going to him for 14-15 years and he's still as great as ever. read more

I recently moved to the area and found a good barber, but I was not completely comfortable with the vibe of the barber shop he worked at so I decided to try another place. Yelp led me to Salon Fx. I had the pleasure of being taken care of by Vy this morning. She took a good look at the picture of the desired style and cut my hair precisely the way I wanted it. (I've almost come to expect hair stylists to get it wrong or a little off here and there, but Vy's result was stunningly similar to the picture I brought.) This was my first time at Salon Fx and if the outcome of my next visits is the same they will have won a loyal customer. read more

I hadn't had a haircut since Covid started last year so I was looking for a new salon. Lee was so great and friendly and gave me exactly what i asked for! I will definitely be coming back. read more

I was skeptical about this place the first time I went but after reading the reviews, I decided to give it a try and I did ask for Simon. This place has a friendly feel to it. It's very clean and well organized. I'm very picky as to who will cut my hair but Simon impressed me. He reminded me of my other barber. This is my 4th time coming here and will continue to come here. I'm so glad I found this place and met Simon. Overall, I highly recommend this place. $10 haircut feels like a $100 haircut. read more

So, my son wanted to get a haircut because his hair was too long. I saw that this place had good reviews, so we went there. Big mistake. First all, the people working there DID NOT know how to speak English. I didn't understand a word they were saying. Once my son sat down, the lady asked him what kind of haircut he wanted. My son said he wanted a fade. She didn't understand, so he showed her a picture. The pictures that he showed her is the top is long, and the bottom is short Then, she knew what my son wanted. She asked my son questions, and he answered confused. She asked him if he wanted a number 3 on the top. My son said ok. Once she started, it literally only took her 5 seconds to shave 4/5 of the length of the original hair my son had. This was NOT number 3. The top is about half an inch, and the bottom is literally like bald. This is definitely what my son did NOT want. He is so disappointed, and he wonders what his friends will think. Will never go here ever again. If you want something that looks good, and want to understand what the workers are saying, DO NOT go here. read more

The ladies who work here are very fast cutting hair. Its nice and clean, But some of their customers are rude AF especially the men, they come in, no hello, ask how long its going to be if its more then 10 minutes they walk out and slam the door, and these guys are regulars. I dont get why they let these kind of customers back. read more

Kelly was great and I've now had her cut my hair on three different occasions. She's very patient and does a great job and takes time to adjust or go shorter or whatever I request without issues. She's very pleasant and kind and I'll definitely become a regular customer of hers! Thanks Kelly! read more

Horrible the amount of times Simon has messed up a simple cleanup cut is unreal I once asked for him to cut the ends of my curly hair and he cut damn near 3 inches off and recently went in for a clean up and he was so lazy with it I mean look at the back I paid 15 dollars for something I can do blindfolded I don't have experience with any other workers there but whatever you do do not get Simon read more

Brought my 11 month old son in to get a haircut. Based on the reviews here, I waited for Simon. My son of course started crying 5 minutes into the cut, but Simon was still able to finish his cut and it looked great! I appreciated that Simon was able to complete the cut in under 15 minutes, and you cannot beat a $10 cut! I will definitely be bringing my son back! THANKS SIMON! read more

I really like a guy who works here named Simon. He does a GREAT job with my very long hair. He takes his time and it always looks nice. They charge extra for long hair but it's only $12 as opposed to the regular $8 for men and kids. Very affordable. With my husband and kids, the other people need a bit more direction. They are always telling me I should let me son grow his hair out and I just have to be pushy and say no then they'll cut it right. But it's FAST, we all usually look pretty good after, and our WHOLE family can get haircuts for $36 total, way less than I would pay for just myself at a fancy salon. Also, there's a charge to use the ATM so if you don't want to pay it, bring cash. I like to have cash to tip the people anyhow. read more
