This review is for Ariel. This was my first time here. I walk in and there's one other lady waiting. There's nobody at the front desk. So I go around to the other side but nobody seems to acknowledge. I decide to sit down and hopefully someone comes by and assists. I waited for a while and was just about to leave. Ariel comes in and has an appointment with the lady who was sitting next to me. She sees me there and asks me if I needed help. I explain to her what I need (which was a quick trim on my bangs) and she was so kind enough to do it for me. Not only was she helpful and did a great job but she was just the sweetest! With a smile on her face the entire time. This is the customer service that is needed. It makes you feel welcomed and makes your day better. I will definitely be back for future appointments. read more

Ashley did my highlights and OMG! I'm in love! She knew exactly what she was doing, exactly what I wanted, and then styled my hair perfectly. I am looking forward to my next appointment and let me tell you - I'm not one to ever say that! Ashley is my go to girl for my hair. I highly recommend! My hair is beautiful and yours can be too! The shop is so cute too and I love the headrest in the wash sink - no more cranky neck! read more

Snips Hair Salon - My hair by Ashley - Hair Salons Near Me - Riverside, California

I have been coming to Snips for about five years now and I specifically go to Jessica because well... what you ask for, you shall receive. Everytime you walk through the door, she greets you with enthusiasm and a smile which makes me you feel beyond comfortable. Hair Salons can be intimidating but not when you have Jessica. The service is beyond incredible. All the ladies who work there are so friendly and work hard just to give their clients what they want. It's now to the point where my mom see's Kristi, who is the amazing owner and my brother see's Jessica. I've pretty much brought the whole family including my best friend who even comes here! I can never talk badly about Snips because they constantly come through and if ever there is a mistake, they'll make it right. It's just the type of salon they are. You should definitely come to Snips, you won't regret it. read more

Snips Hair Salon is amazing! From modern, contemporary style to friendly stylists--this place is truly the best! Jessica and Kristi are amazing stylists.

I highly recommend making an appointment here! ‍ read more

So with being new to Riverside my daughter and I needed a new hair salon. Found Snips Hair Salon. I loved how close it was, the salon is cute and welcoming. Our hair stylist started off good. My daughter and I got haircuts, came back another time. Was trying to set up another appointment for my daughter.....and no response. At first I got a response.......and then it went silent. I get we all have busy life's. But if you are offering a service then maybe just maybe have a little respect and reply to someone. Now on the search for another hair salon. read more

I got an amazing cut from Rain. I went from long hair to a custom bob. She worked with the way my hair is. I would recommend her all day every day. Many thanks to the owner who asked lots of questions to get me to the stylist that she thought would be best for me. Thank you!! read more

I love Snips! Kristi has been doing my hair since February and she does an amazing job every time. She colors and cuts my hair with professionalism and amazing technique! She really knows what she is doing. She always takes into account how I style my hair day to day, how I part my hair, etc. The vibe in the salon is amazing, it is clean and aesthetically pleasing inside. I always feel comfortable in the salon while I am there. I am always satisfied and happy when I leave the salon! read more

I tried to be chill about my experience, but looking at my uneven haircut just doesn't sit right. You can see part of my hairline in the back where it was cut too short and I have strands of hair sticking out all over that is at least half and inch longer than the rest of my hair. I understand that my stylist had other plans that she was anxious to get to, but she volunteered to stay and take me and I paid $55 for the haircut... it should've at least been even. read more

My hairstylist, April, is beyond amazing! She is a color magician and corrected my awful box-color blonde after the Covid shut down. She listens to and works with what the customer wants. She was able to condition my dry, overprocessed hair without just cutting it all off and styles it perfectly. I always look like a million bucks when l leave the salon thanks to her! From, Tiffany A. A client for life :) read more

I came in for a quick trim because my hair was getting super dead and i impulsively wanted to cut my hair. I found this salon and paid $85 for a cut (including $15 for a treatment and $15 for tip), a lil pricey but it's ok! i asked not to cut the front of my hair but my stylist still did and cut them really short and didn't even out the other side (right) :/ i ended up cutting the right side myself and left the left side as it was but my hair looks super awkward as there are huge chunks or short hair that frame my face and that i didn't ask for. note: this is not because i cut it myself, i've attached a picture of my hair right after i left and how there's a large chunk of my bangs missing. I didn't notice this until i got home, but i'll probably have to side part my hair until it grows out ): overall, i still gave this place 3 stars because the atmosphere was super nice and my stylist was super friendly and understanding and offered to fix it but i couldn't as i had an event in san diego. however, the damage on the left side was already done and there was no way to fix it other than taper it out and cut it even shorter which was the last thing i wanted :/ read more

I was nervous coming to a new salon since I had been with my previous hair person for 12 years. I looked up Kimberlys work on IG and decided I would give her a try. Hands down the best experience. She is so nice, so informative, and very professional. She took great care of me and was able to give me a Bayalage that made my hair look sun kissed! Which was no easy feat seeing as that I had old box color on my hair, and had also recently given myself a hair cut She was able to correct it all with minimal damage to my very curly hair. She is amazing. I will for sure be back! read more

I had Ashley Hart as my hair stylist. It was time consuming, 4 hours, and expensive, very expensive as she completely changed the color of my hair with so many mistakes that it will cost a lot to fix. And I just had gotten it done the way I like the previous month. I came in with a lighter reddish-brown hair and left with at least one shade darker brown hair with what appeared to have some darker red near the roots and ash in it. Awful!!!! Terrible looking, beyond unprofessional. I asked her to style it a certain way as well and she did the opposite. She had offered to fix the roots to match the rest of the hair but apparently reneged as I never heard back from her. I texted her a couple questions and she blew me off. The owner, Christie gave me my money back, however, money back is not enough, not when it will cost me x amount more to fix the damage and the amount of time wasted. Also, no reason for it to have taken 4 hours, just shows how inconsiderate and unprofessional she was to me. She acted like she did not understand what I was saying. 'Match the roots the same color as they were done the last time'. Is this hard to understand? Me thinks not. Not a trustworthy environment. Not even an apology from anyone. read more

I am still trying to understand how the picture I showed Kristi of the style I wanted is anything like this haircut that happened on my head. It does Nothing for me. Horrible. I will not go back to have her fix it because she seems too scared to cut and that's not good. (Well, unless it's in a straight line.) Her hands were shaking so maybe she is overworked? Over caffeinated? I really don't know... Also the place is cramped and just feels icky... like her 10-year-old Bed Head grease she used to glue down some of my stray hairs. Uh... no! Keep it clean girl! Like clean your station in between clients and actually use soap of some kind when you attempt to wash our hair! Definitely stay away from this old, cramped and uncomfortable experience in hair terror! read more

Kim has been doing my hair for years now. She always does a great job & she really knows what she's doing! When I first went to Kim, my hair was so damaged, thin & short. Since then, she saved my hair & made it healthier than ever!! Thanks Kim read more

I contacted the hairstylist April yesterday but I ended up going to another salon. So I went to another salon yesterday but the lady over there left me a yellowish highlights. I contacted April again today and she made my hair toned to an ashy color that I wanted! It gives me a more soften ashy color balayage! I really love it! April is so understandable with my situation and is so nice! She knows every asian hair very well! I would definitely go back to her in the future! read more

First time at Snips ...brought my 6 year old daughter for a haircut. My daughter's hair was long, thick and unmanageable. Teresa took her time with us, made my daughter feel comfortable and gave her the best haircut she's ever received. First thing my daughter said after leaving the salon, "I LOVE my haircut daddy". Salon is clean and prices were fair for the level of service and attention you get. Highly recommend Snips and Teresa! read more

The absolute worst! I will never be back. This will be a long review, please read before coming and beware! I had a terrible experience with a stylist that goes by @hairbynatlee on instagram. Her pictures looked great and I was excited to get my hair done as my previous balayage had turned brassy. My mom ended up trying this place before me in November and at that point her hair turned out decent, not great because Nathalie decided to try out a new dye to cover up the grey hairs and it did a bad job at it and the greys were still noticeable that same day, my mom mentioned it but due to the language barrier Nathalie decided to still charge full price and my mom ended up looking a bit better but the grays remained. Mid-March is when I went to get my hair done. I had gone for a consultation a month prior and had told her that I knew to get to the color I wanted it'd take time and I was ok with that, my main priority was to keep my hair as damage free and as long as possible. I have been growing my hair for 8 years and know how to keep it healthy. When it was time to wash my hair at the end, it took her over 15 minutes to de tangle my hair even after conditioning and even broke a brush she mentioned was expensive due to the extreme tangled mess. Mind you my hair has never been hard to manage. I should have known something was up but ignored it. So she takes her pictures, I pay her and i go. Two days later when I wash my hair is when I realize the mess she had made. I had used the shampoo and conditioner she told me and my mom to use and assumed it was just not a good match for me so I started buying many professional brands from Salon Centric to see which would work, none did. About 2 weeks later my mom goes to get a retouch and comes back with damaged hair worse than she had gone in with (her hair has been damaged since before Nathalie, but the damage she came back with was worse than I've ever seen before) and this is when I finally contact Nathalie to ask her what I could do to repair my hair because nothing was working, Arian oil, coconut oil, olaplex, hot oil treatments, and nothing was helping Immediately she asks what I'm using and she tells me I must not be doing it right. So I ask her what I can do and right away she starts with a condescending tone "if you don't want to take the time to take care of your hair, than bleaching it is not for you" excuse me? I've had healthy long hair for 8 years, of course I know it takes time! The owner himself mentioned how long and healthy my hair was!! She tells me that I can come in to get it fixed but after the damage you think I'd want to pay her to fix what she caused and she never once apologized or asked if she could do something to make it right. It is now 3+ months later, 2 haircuts, hundreds spent on various products to try to salvage my hair and my hair is still incredibly damaged. Nathalie has since blocked me on Instagram (shady on her part!) I wasn't going to post but after telling multiple people about it I didn't think it was right for me to not tell everyone to at least be careful when coming here. read more

I had very long hair for a dude and decided it was time to chop it all off! A big decision means that I had to put a lot of trust into a salon to do it but they did not disappoint! I had Jessica and she was the sweetest soul. Such a kind heart and made me feel like I was in very good hands the moment I arrived. She would take a moment to pause and think about what could look better since I havnt had short hair in two years. She explained how we could go about it and stopped along the way to show me and make sure I liked what she was doing. Long story short my haircut came out amazing! Thank you Jessica! read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! I went to this salon because they had good rating on Yelp... this was the worst hair experience I've ever had. I saw Alyssa twice for trims and consultations to prepare to take my hair lighter for summer with an ombré balayage before the 10 hour hair doomsday I spent with her. The owner was there the entire time. He actually was consulting her throughout the day and my hair still came out a cheap brassy red. Nothing like the pic I showed. The crown is lightest part of my hair... nothing like the ombré pic. See attached images of what I was told I was going to get and the actual outcome. I was offered a lousy $10 discount after she ruined my hair. I am now spending money on deep conditioning and strengthening treatments so that my hair can take more color to correct the patchy mess she made of my hair. It is crunchy all the way to the roots. read more

Shareen is the absolute best!! I made an appointment to fix my ombré/color block hair that I wanted to change into a balayage. I showed her pictures of what I wanted and she told me her opinion on how it would be better to do it in 2 sessions to reduce damage which I appreciated because I definitely trust her more than myself. While doing my hair she explained the process to let me know what was going on and used a lot of yummy smelling products! Even though I bleached my hair it feels healthier and looks way better than when I first walked in there, and I'm happy to say I found my go-to stylist in Riverside! read more

Don't go here ! $160 for a balayage and hair turned out to be orange and 2 different colors. Horrible and very sad since I don't make a lot of money and I couldn't go somewhere else to get it fix read more

I go to Snips strictly to see Nathalie! I have gone to her for years and travel about an hour from home each way because she never disappoints! I had used black boxed dye on my hair for awhile (‍) and finally decided to let her take control of it again! I wanted to go purple- she made sure I knew that it was going to be a long process to protect the integrity of my hair and that I was going to need to do aftercare on my own as well before even setting up the appointment. When I got over the purple and wanted another change she made sure to ask me the right questions before she booked the appointment as well. She told me exactly which products would work best each time and exactly how to use them- even how to use a certain shampoo if you're going to spend the money to have your hair done you should listen to your stylists recommendations for how to maintain it and protect it. She is SO talented- her Instagram page speaks for itself! read more

YESENIA is definitely my go-to girl. Although they have plenty other stylist, I felt most comfortable and confident with Yesenia. Personable, a master of her trade, the woman has skills. Make an appointments with her(Worth it). Moderately priced, a bunch of real good stylist, you can't go wrong coming here. I can't stress enough how legitimate this place is. As someone who is a creature of habit and routine I feel at ease to know that when I'm at Snips, Yesenia will take care of me.

I just left snips and once again I have nothing but good things to say. Snips is clean, comfortable, has a friendly environment and it's a pleasure to be there. Henry has been doing my hair for years and I am never disappointed. My hair looks great and I trust Henry . I highly recommend Snips. read more

Let me start by saying, I'm VERY particular about my hair! I love a good drastic change along with basics. So I need a stylist that can do it all. No limits. I've found Yessie about 8 years ago and I'm in love with her work. She's the only person I will let touch my hair. Not to mention she's fairly priced, but if you're hesitant you can set up a consultation with her and discuss your hair goals and how you can reach them. Yessie is incredibly informative and personable. Honestly you can't go wrong. Check out her work on insta @yeessiie read more

My mom & I walked in on a Saturday (thankfully it wasn't busy) but I wish I didn't walk in at all. Our stylist had no idea how to work with curly hair. I asked for long layers to help my curls bounce & have body, and she only did a short layer on the top that looked like a mushroom and left my longest layer the same. Definitely do not recommend if you have curly hair, I'll still with dry cuts next time. read more

Best place were you can feel right at home the girls are amazing with years of experience believe me they know what they're doing, if you need someone to keep your hair healthy and beautiful this is the place to go! This is the place to be! Jessica Rabbit vibes read more

I'm updating my review because the management is very geared towards clinetal satisfaction. The manger reached out to me apologizing and with a hair cut offer. I moved away from the salon recently so will not be able to take advantage of the offer but he said that if I'm ever in town that the offer still stands. I really appreciated the offer even if I don't ever use it I thought it was super kind of him. If some one is ever unhappy with their results they'll do their best to fix it for you. read more

I went there for the first time today, and I came away feeling better about myself than I had for a long time. I walked in with long, thick hair that I just pulled back in a pony tail every single day, and I walked out with a darling short cut and subtle highlights that I couldn't be anymore happy with. Shareen was just wonderful, and talked me through each and every step. I want to thank her for giving me new confidence today. Everyone in there was a blast -- it was like getting together with girlfriends. I highly recommend Snips. read more

Thank you sooo much SHAREEN!! Girl, you rock! You're beautiful inside and out! Thank you for saving my damaged hair. And for all your expertise in hair. You're the real MVP! This place is the real deal. I'm walking back in tomorrow morning for my trim. See you all soon. read more

The girl who had been doing my hair had to start staying home with her kids due to covid. It's been one whole year since I've had a trim! It was my lucky day when Michelle Gentile said she had room in her schedule for me. The ends of my hair had gotten dry and my layers grew out. Michelle fixed all that! My hair feels so silky and I love the cut. I will definitely be making another appointment with her in the future. read more

Where to start!!! Not only is snips salon amazing but Natalie is the BEST and most professional hair stylist I've ever had. I had virgin hair which was a dark brown and was ready for a change and when I deciders to choose a hair stylist Natalie was my only choice! She took great care of me feeding me and making sure my hair stayed healthy through the whole process. Since I had never had blonde hair before she walked me through the steps on how to keep my beautiful blonde hair shiny and healthy with suggestions of products and after care. She told me up front that it could be a lot of work to keep it up but I was more than willing to do all that was needed to have my dream hair. Even after my visit she followed up with text messages and instruction to make sure I was 100% knowledgeable on what to do and she didn't have to, esp since most stylist don't even care once you leave the chair. The owner was there and he was so sweet along with the entire staff. I highly recommend you check out snips salon and take a seat in Natalie's chair if you want the transformation of a life time. I will never use another hairstylist because you can tell her experience and professionalism speak in her work. She even set me up on a trim schedule to keep my hair looking fabulous! Thank you snips hair salon and a HUGE thank you to Natalie for making sure my hair came out exactly how I wanted it and made sure it stayed healthy through the whole process. I constantly get compliments on my hair and people asking me for info on where I got my hair done. Thank you again snips and Natalie I attached my before and after photos and text and Instagram convos of her following up with instruction and ensuring I was still happy with my hair. If you want to check out her work look up @hairbynatalie on Instagram. Her work will speak for the level of skill and professionalism she has. read more
