I love Maxine, she's an amazing stylist. Very knowledgeable on hair and hair care, and she's a great conversationalist. The salon is tucked away in a quiet corner, but it's so clean and charming on the inside. I always leave with my hair looking healthy and shiny. I also get lots of compliments on my hair after my visits. It's so hard to find good stylists these days so highly recommended! :) read more

Visited multiple times, I went again on 4/1/26, I came in at 3:00pm to get a haircut with Lizbeth and I always leave satisfied! Before coming here, I never trusted barbers due to multiple bad haircuts but wow, Lizbeth changed my whole life and perspective on that by always being extremely attentive and diligent to my hair. Since I visit every couple months, I find it sweet that Lizbeth always remembers small details about me (like my cat, my attempts to cook, etc.) and it's nice to have such lively conversations that makes the appointment feel like a breeze. The salon is quite cozy, every time I've visited everyone seems comfortable and content as the barbers and owner are really friendly and kind! I highly recommend this salon if you're looking for a great cut/trim for layered hair and a good, friendly conversation with your barber! :D Shoutout to Lizbeth for helping me trust hair salons again with my head. She's awesome. read more

As soon as I found this salon on Yelp I knew I had to stop in for the name alone! Also I was in desperate need of a haircut and wanted fuller hair! My $45 Layered haircut(no wash or blow dry) was done by Freshta. I waited awhile despite apt, cut was alright, looks amazing curled! This is an Edward Scissorhands themed hair salon located in Downtown Davis! My hubby and I love the 1990 film and enjoyed seeing their fun decor! Nice Staff and it's family owned! SYOY! :-) *Song Credit: Bewitched by SoulProdMusic Site: https://pixabay.com/music/-bewitched-121509/ read more

We came to this salon on 1/23/26 because we knew we will be in the area/ My wife made an appointment online on 1/23/26 for 6:20pm and we rushed through traffic to make it on time. When we arrived at 6:17pm, we were told by the staff that the hairdresser had an earlier appointment and that we have to wait a short amount of time for my wife's appointment to start. The star deducted was that we waited nearly 25 mins before my wife's actual appointment to start. When my wife's appointment did start, her hairdresser, Freshta, did a great job was layering my wife's hair. She listened to my wife's needs and it made her night! The ambiance inside the salon was really cool since their namesake is "Scissorhands Salon", they had a lot of Edward Scissorshand art and memorabilia. If you're ever in the Davis area, check out Scissorhands Salon. They specialize in women's hair. read more

Dear Eloina, I did not have a good experience for my appointment today at Scissorhands Salon. I was asked to wait 30+ minutes for my appointment, and the stylist was not ready. I would appreciate if you can let me know there will be a long wait when I arrive or give me a call, I would have been happy to reschedule. read more

Got a haircut from Maxine yesterday. She did a fantastic job and was very personable. Hair looks much healthier and she listened to how much I wanted off and didn't take my length. I have had countless haircuts where they took 2-3 extra inches. read more

**2/17/25 update. Updating for customer service because of owner. After writing this review Eloina reached out immediately and offered a complimentary haircut and she honored it. She definitely remedied my experience from the first time. She was extremely friendly and pleasant this time around. Will be going back and recommending her to others. I was offered a complimentary service but willingly paid the full price and tip because Eloina was super responsive and honored it even though It took me a while to decide to go back. Thanks Eloina ! read more

Scissorhands Salon - Hair Stylists Near Me - Davis, California

I love this place and Mary pays so much attention to detail, is patient, and even complimented my hair before and after my haircut! Before my haircut, I had super frizzy and very long chaotic split-ended hair, with a leftover balayage from a year ago. And now it looks so controlled, and matches the reference photo I showed her - layered with a side bang and a U on the back. This is my second time coming here; my first time I had both a haircut and balayage from Eloina which also came out stunning. Decided to try something new this year, and glad I did. I've seen Mary do her color magic a few times as an observer, and she's always knocking it out of the park! I can't wait to book her again later this year when I prep my hair for my upcoming wedding! 5 stars, can't complain. The vibe of the place is very comforting in my opinion. Light purple walls, Edward Scissorhands and a few Disney decor. Huge mirrors with swiveling chairs. The hair stylists are all chatting with the clients and a little bit to each other. Everyone is so focused! I had a delightful experience, and look forward to coming back again! read more

I love this salon! Eloina normally does my cut and partial highlights, but she was completely booked up, so I had her daughter Mary Mikesell do it this time...and it turned out sooo good! Mother and daughter are so sweet and really take their time to listen, and style it just the way you like. One of the best parts is they are open on Mondays...and making appointments are easy online. read more

I got an Olaplex treatment with a blow-out. It was fine. For the Olaplex treatment, she applied #1 while my hair was damp, left it on for 5 minutes, then applied #2 and left that in for another 10 minutes or so. Then she rinsed it and dried it with the blow dryer. I was disappointed that she didn't finish it up with Olaplex 3. If it was a cost issue, I would have paid extra for it, but I wasn't given the option. All in all, it was fine though. This is an ok place to get this service done. read more

I got my hair cut by Ruby and let me say...best haircut I have ever gotten! I went in having a slight idea of what I wanted, but that was no problem for Ruby. We looked through my references together and picked out what we thought would work best. I booked the all over color and haircut which starts at $160 and the total came out to be around $215. I'd say that's pretty good pricing considering I was there for 4 hours! Ruby was very kind and fun to talk with (we had great conversations). The salon its self was a little tricky to find if you don't know what you're looking for (like me). The inside was very clean and cozy, definitely relaxing. I enjoyed my visit and cannot wait to go back! read more

Freshta did my hair & I really loved it. My hair was a bit harder to work on but she did great!

Update 09/06/23 Eloina reached out offering to fix my hair. She set time for me this morning. Upon assessing my hair, she agreed that it wasn't done properly. She took the time to thoroughly fix it, even did the techniques that I was used to my other stylists doing. That's already a good sign. She made small talk and explained her process the entire time. At the end, she put some oil in my hair and gave me a mirror to look at the back. It was incredibly better. I'm so grateful that Eloina took the time to reach out and offer to fix my hair. I would definitely return here and get a haircut from Eloina again because I know she knows what she's doing. Thank you for the fix, Eloina! Another star added. ---------------------- First off, I want to state that the staff was very welcoming and patient despite me being almost 10 minutes late (I'm new to the area and had no idea where I was going and parking was a nightmare). Finding your go to stylist is like finding a good therapist or doctor. You have to make several appointments with different ones until you find a good fit. I really was hoping to be "WOWed" by the end of my service, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. My stylist was very gentle and kept conversation to a minimum. I always find it awkward sitting in the seat in in silence but some people prefer it. That's no big deal. I told her that I wanted long layers and a V shape in the back. The way she summarized what I wanted made me think we were on the same page. She did some shaping and cutting before washing my hair. Then did a little bit more cutting. Then blow drying. I think waiting for the sink and washing my hair took longer than the actual hair cut. This isn't what I'm used to. My stylists in SoCal would take a generous amount of time moving chunks of hair around making sure it's even etc. But to be fair, every stylist has a different approach. After the blow dry, she gave me a mirror to look at the back. From what I was able to see, it seemed okay. The long layers didn't seem drastic. But it was a V shape. After, I paid for my service then left. It wasn't until I went to a cafe's restaurant and really looked in the mirror that disappointment started to sink in. The left side of my head has hair that looks really blunt and the layers don't blend well. The right side seems more flowy and whispy, which is what I wanted. When I part my hair and bring the hair forth over my shoulders, there are very uneven long chunks of hair, some blunt and some whispy. The left side is also way shorter than the right side... When I checked the back using my phone's camera, it looked like the right side was uneven. Sigh. Well, she stated she hasn't done a V shape in a while... I'll provide an updated review after I shower and style my hair as I normally would. Perhaps it'll be better after. Overall, it's not a horrible experience, per se. But to pay $80 total (tip included)?? That's professional style quality expected. I think I'd rather make the drive to SoCal every few months and pay $60 for a thorough cut. Anyway, I'm not saying I wouldn't recommend this place. I'm sure the stylist has done wonderful work with others, unfortunately, it's just my experience that I wasn't happy with. On to finding a new stylist. read more

The last time I got a haircut was at a salon that chopped off too much. I took a chance on this place as it has great reviews, and deservingly so. I messaged through Yelp for an appointment and was fit in the same day. Eloina, the salon owner, responded very quickly. My haircut was by Maria and I love it. I needed my most of my dead ends cut off but to retain the length which she did perfectly. The shampoo and blow dry was gentle and acted as a massage. I got face framers, a trim and long layers. The haircut time itself was short and simple. My hair looks and feels amazing, thanks to Maria! The cost was $60 excluding tips. I recommend getting a haircut here if you are far from home, as I was kindly greeted and made comfortable! read more

Late May, I found Hair by Eloina when I decided one day I needed to do something about my white/gray hairs. Majority of salons in Sac and Elk Grove had huge wait times to get an appointment and I wanted it NOW before I chickened out. Eloina fit me in for an end of day appontment and I met with Viridiana, who is simply a genius! We had a good consult on what I wanted and what would look good on me. First appointment I got highlights, and it was great coverage for those stubborn hairs. It didn't get brassy and it lightened how it was supposed to. This appointment we did balayage and I am so in love with my hair. It isn't dry, my hair isn't brittle and it just feels so healthy! I totally recommend coming here and ask for Viridiana, she is fantastic and I totally trust her with my hair! read more

I've had split hair color, black and blonde right down the middle for almost 10 years. Decided I wanted to be all blonde. Tried to do it myself, and it turned out kinda ok. Went to Scissorhands for a cut and color correction. Ended up with a stylist for each, I got a bob with some face framing. I'm super blind with out glasses, so I have to put my faith in the stylist even if they check in with me because I can't see what's happening until they're done. The cut is great, easy to style exactly what I wanted. My second stylist was in for a big job, having to match two very different colors. She was very helpful in picking out the shade of blonde that would look best as my natural hair grows out. I also really enjoyed all the small talk and getting to know her. The color turned out beautifully, and everyone I know has complemented me on it! read more

Fantastic service, amazing cut and blow dry. Took my daughter for a trim, wash and blow dry. There was a slight mix up about the appointment but that was remedied within a few minutes. Eloina and her crew did such a good job. She has super curly hair which can be difficult to cut and manage. They used top-notch products in her hair and very much took their time to ensure that her hair looked glowing! My daughter has never been so happy with her hair! read more

Maria (hair dreams by Maria) who operates out of this salon is truly incredible. She is so personable and kind. She does an amazing job listening to what I wanted and making suggestions when I asked for her thoughts (I wanted her opinion she never offers unsolicited thoughts).

High quality service, kind personality, and fair pricing! Highly recommend! read more

I received excellent service with a great attitude and a desire to clearly understand my wants.

Updating this review from 2 stars to 4 stars as Eloina reached out immediately to help make things right, but will leave the rest of the review so others don't go through the same experience. -- I don't like having to write this but feeling ripped off after my experience today. I booked a medium women's haircut given the length of my hair. The stylist felt my hair didn't need to be washed since I'd just washed it a few hours ago and it was still pliable/ workable, and I said that's totally fine if she thought it was okay. The actual haircut was okay, though I thought it was odd that she didn't even consider my face shape between starting. I was wearing a mask since I'm very pregnant and offered to take it off so she could see my face shape as part of her styling considerations, but it felt like she didn't really care either way. I figured okay, she's the expert here. The whole thing took about 20 minutes from sitting down to paying. $60 plus $12 (20%) tip. It felt super pricey and off to me, but I couldn't pinpoint quite why, so I thanked her and left. When I got home I looked on their website and saw that I should've been charged for an express haircut given how simple my haircut was and since there was no wash, no product used, no blowdry. Literally just a quick cut. And that's the definition on their site (20 min and no blow dry). This should've been proactively pointed out by the stylist, instead of charging me for a more expensive service. I was really hoping this would be my salon in Davis but guess I'll look elsewhere next time. read more

Came in for color and cut with Cynthia who seems to be new and has no idea what she's doing. She was literally taking pictures of my hair and asking a whole bunch of questions because she didn't know. I was told my hair was too dark for bleach and that I could only do a dark color like black. My daughter was also getting color and for some reason the lady that was doing her hair was able to bleach. Cynthia asked how I do my hair (curled or straight) I told her beachy curls and she just uses a blow dryer to wave the bottoms. Not impressed at all!!! The lady that did my daughter's hair was amazing and listened to exactly what she wanted. Everyone please do your research before coming to this place about. read more

Was good the first time twice waited 25+ min for service WITH an appointment booked. The reception was not kind. Won't go back.

If you are looking for a stylist who will listen to your vision and execute it well, you are in the right place!! I wanted a new haircut and I took a chance on Torrie and she truly outdid herself. I showed her what my hair looked like from my most recent haircut and showed her my inspo pics. And she knew exactly what had to happen! I felt like I was in great hands and plus the environment of the salon itself is very inviting. As a student at Davis, I always feel nervous to find a new salon separate from my hometown salon, so it is so nice to find a place that I can now go to regularly!! read more
