So it's been about a month and my hair is extremely orange and yellow!!! It is not cute at all, she completely changed my base and it's like my skin tone just does not match. I honestly completely hate my hair. And it is so Blotchy and not blended at all, I did go in for her to fix it but she only toned it so after a few washes the brass which was never completely covered was back. Obviously this salon does not care about the work their employees are doing as no one ever reached out to me... it's very disappointing and you could not pay me to go back to this salon. read more

Just went in for a simple cut of my long hair, but Danielle did awesome! Looking forward to my next hair adventures with her. :) Up next - color! read more

A nightmare!!!well I called the Faux in Campbell, asked for Issac, he did exactly like I said, step by step, he repaired that mess! It's so hard to go somewhere trust someone with what people see first, your hair... well Issac is amazing! Love it! Thank you Issac, you saved me from a horrible nightmare!!! read more

Because of one inexperienced hair colorist, SAMANTHA, and an unprofessional management team, I am giving this place a generous ONE star. Samantha reassured me that she was able to strip the fuchsia from my bangs and make it blonde in one sitting; she failed due to sophomoric practicality. As a result of rinsing dyed and bleached hair simultaneously, my bangs were turned brown from the black hair dye. Faux Salon denied a discounted price after I cried and went hysterical in front of other patrons. After trying to contact the manager and Samantha numerous times, I never received a call back. Talk about poor customer service. I will never take or recommend any business to this salon. read more

I went to Faux because they had great reviews and a friend of mine with great hair recommended it. The atmosphere is great, the staff was friendly. I told my stylist, Sam, that I'd been growing my hair out since spring (it's now December) and I'd had it short, but was ready for a change. I told her I wanted an A-line cut long enough to curl or flat iron, and pulled up pictures of LONG a-line cuts (the back is at the nape of the neck or just above, the front is at the shoulders) that I'd saved on my phone. I said I didn't want it higher than my chin in the front, and it should be longer than that, since I look terrible with cuts at that length. She said no problem and proceeded to cut. The cut I walked away with was at my jaw in front (3 inches shorter than I'd asked for and exactly where I'd told her I look awful), and halfway up my head in back. It looks absolutely terrible on me. It's too short to curl or flat iron, and because of the very slight a-line, it's going to grow out like a bowl cut. The only reason this gets two stars instead of one is because she didn't argue with me when I requested a refund. I would have left no review, however, and Faux's reputation undinged (and would even have gone back in a few months to try again, when it's grown out, based on the rave reviews) if she'd asked where it had gone wrong, how she could fix it, what I had wanted that she hadn't done, or even apologized. She didn't do any of those. read more

I went to Faux Salon after a recommendation from a Yelp friend. I made an appointment and actually almost didn't go in when I saw it from the outside. This place tries so hard to be hip and trendy and cool and probably succeeds, but I have no way of knowing because I am not hip and trendy and cool. It's not really the type of salon I'd normally go to because it makes me feel so un-cool. My hair is cut into a simple A-line bob and I feel like I shouldn't be going here unless my hair is spiked, uneven, or dyed 4 different colors. Yes, I realize this makes me sound a bit like an old prude, but I swear I'm not! It's just an environment that ostracizes some parts of the population. That being said, I still went in figuring the stylists are all still talented and would give me a standard haircut if I ask for one. I saw Desiree and she was absolutely lovely and gave me a beautiful haircut. BUT, they are cash or check only and who these days carries wants to pay a fairly large bill ($70+) with cash or a personal check? Not me. These days, it's all about charging it. Frequent flier points, people. I got a great haircut, but I won't be going back because they don't accept credit cards. read more

I had an appointment with Luis on January 25th at 1230 pm. I get a call from Stephanie at 1118 am that Luis is sick. Wow! What happened to the 24 hour cancellation policy that salons prefer from their clients? This policy does not apply to salons. There was no offer to reschedule. read more

I've been going to Gina at Faux for over 8 years now. Even after moving to NYC I still hold out til I make a trip back to the Bay Area to visit my family to have Gina Hidalgo color my hair. Gina is absofuckinglutely HILARIOUS and genius at coloring! I get raves all the time but too bad I live in NYC and so I can't refer new clients to her! Gina keeps me in check and tells me straight up if a color I want doesn't work for me! She is not one to mince words but in the end, just sit back, relax, and let Gina do what she does best....I guarantee she won't disappoint you! read more

I asked for long layers, but I walked out with a mullet. That would be pretty sweet if I was a was in an 80's cover band or something...but I'm not. Also, I paid $65; an assistant washed my hair, the stylist took 5 minutes to cut it and then she passed me off to another assistant to blow dry...I felt like I was in the way or something. Maybe I'm a cheapskate, but I expect more attentive service for $65. I'm not saying who cut my hair because I didn't complain while I was there. In my defense I never saw my stylist during or after my blow dry so I couldn't tell her how much I hated it. I guess I could have gone back and tried another stylist, but it's always awkward to pull a switcheroo so I went somewhere new to have my Joe Dirt special reshaped into a normal haircut. read more

Awful! 20 minutes after my allocated appointment time, I was told the stylist mixed up the appointment dates and it's her day off. Absolute waste of time. read more

Worst hair experience ever!!!! The salon is overpriced and not worth a dime. The stylist they assigned me to "Nemesis" cut less than 1/2 an inch from my hair and didn't thin it out (after I told him my hair grows quick and thick). He spent almost an hour cutting nothing. I needed another cut less than 2 weeks later (normally 4-5 weeks!?). I was not about to pay another $50 for this waste of time. read more

Way too overpriced! Everytime I went in, they charged me more than the last. They don't think so, but they ARE replaceable, there are plenty of great stylists that are not this expensive! My color was done wrong 2x and the stylist would not listen to what I wanted ... just argued with me. Terrible customer service on her part! read more

I've been here a few times now. The first time I went I was in love because I pretty much just let the stylist (Jason) do whatever he wanted and he gave me a very stylish bob. Unfortunately, the last few times has been satisfactory. I liked my cuts but not enough to justify the $65 fee. My last cut was good, but it definitely did not look like the picture of the cut I actually wanted. My haircut looked identical to the person getting her haircut behind me! Negatives: it is customary to pressure you into buying a salon product, they only take cash, and the receptionists are rude. read more

I really liked this place, but its kind of expensive and they don't take credit cards! Cash or Checks only!!! Who doesn't accept credit cards? The last person to do my hair there was Iris and she did a fantastic job. She hooked me up with a girl mullet - just the way I wanted it. My sister goes to Cari and drives all the way from Sacramento just to get her hair done by her. I go to Elite Image in Willow Glen now. It's just as trendy, less expensive, takes Credit Cards, and has a more intimate feel. That doesn't mean this salon isn't great - it is. I just never have cash or checks with me. read more

Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. They can't keep an appointment. Consistently cancel appointments made weeks in advance. They only take cash. The stylists are average. read more

GINA GINA GINA. had never been to faux before but i heard from a friend that gina was the one to see. i read it on here as well, she has been cutting hair for 20 years and she doesnt fuck around. probably the most real person you have ever met in your life, great stylist, great woman from head to toe. my gf and i both get our hair cut by her. even if i didnt live close enough, id still travel to have her do my hair, well worth it. the salon may be expensive, as people mention on here. but you get what you pay for. do you want a $2 haircut?? go to supercuts for that shit. read more

Very long overdue review. I visited for the first time after I purchased a groupon for a Brazilian Blowout and haircut with Cynthia, and she did an amazing job! Super happy and planning to go again. read more

For many years I saw Elizabeth M. here and was very happy. I would give her 5 stars. Then she moved to Hayward somewhere. Since then I have seen Angie W. at Faux twice. This stylist is very personable, but a *bad listener*. The first time I went it was just to have my roots colored, back in mid-August. This is when I learned that Elizabeth had left just the week before. I asked Angie to use the color that Elizabeth had been using because it had taken us awhile to get a shade I liked. After coloring my hair, she told me she had added some 'gold' to give me 'better grey coverage'. She did not ask before doing so. This resulted in the color being more orange. I had specified I wanted to use the recipe Elizabeth had devised. But color can be a tricky thing, and it had taken several times to get it right working with Elizabeth, so I thought I would give Angie another chance. So I came in now, in December (a span of 4 months), with an inch of roots showing. My hair grows slowly. I told her it grows only about 4 inches a year. She insisted that it must be growing 6. 'I know my head, I know my hair, it grows only 4, but whatever', I think. I told her I wanted the color to be more brown, and she changed the color formula accordingly. It is still more orange than I would like but she says that without going to a darker shade this can't be helped; it may be because my hair is getting greyer over time (is now about 75% grey) so past mixes that worked look different on present hair. I told her I wanted to preserve the length of my hair. I also told her that I did not want layers. She insisted that Elizabeth must have done at least some layers and it wasn't much of a style if it was just cut blunt. She kept pressing me for layers and I said it was okay if she maybe did 1 or 2 inches of layer (to soften the bottom edge) but no more since my hair grows so slowly and if I don't like it it would take a long time to grow out. I then told her numerous stories about how in the past stylists would insist on layers and it always looks bad and I really did not want them. I now have hair that is 3 inches shorter and in addition has 4 inch deep 'layers' (shorter sections in the length up from the bottom of the cut). This will take me over a year to recover from. I told her I didn't like the cut. She asks what she can do to fix it. I say 'nothing because the only way to fix it is to make it shorter', which I don't want. 'Oh,' she smirked. 'I guess you just really don't want layers then.' WTF??? You only realize that I don't want layers NOW??? What the hell have I been *telling you* for the past hour??? (I didn't say that, I just thought it.) At that point, she left without a word & never returned. I saw her at the reception desk but she fled before I got there. No discussion. So now my hair looks all jagged like it was trimmed by a child or the ends were stuck in a blender. As soon as all the salon-product wears off, past experience tells me, it is going to poof out and look like a bad crop of split ends. pic: http://media1.ct.yelpcdn.com/photo/xiwMxJjc6fToxWgp2_KSdQ/l (and now that I see the back in a photo I realize it is even worse than I thought in terms of the destroyed length and overall shape.) This is how Elizabeth did it-how it should be: http://media2.px.yelpcdn.com/photo/zizYHYdxTsEWRcbsNwHXJw/l Did I do or say something to make you hate me, Angie? Did I tell a story that made you not want me as a client and decide you wanted to drive me away by doing the opposite of everything I said I wanted in a cut? Why did you do this to my hair, when I specifically and repeatedly kept telling you I did not want layers *both before and continuously while you were cutting my hair*??? Then I was fool enough to pay what she billed me for it--$100 for the color (which I'm not crazy about but isn't horrible so that's okay) and $60 for the cut. I did not leave a tip and now think I should have paid only for the color, I hate this cut so much. I'm sure she feels I'm a scrooge since it is Christmas week. But I will be suffering the disappointment from this crappy haircut for at least a year, maybe two, because my hair grows so slowly. It takes me an hour each way to drive to this place. It was worth it to have Elizabeth cut my hair. Now without her, it's not. In summary the experience at Faux is highly dependent upon which individual stylist you get. Some of them are awesome. But I've learned that Angie is not. She may be able to do some technically impressive things with hair, but she doesn't listen to her clients to give them what they ask for. Honestly, I want the $60 for the cut back. And I want Elizabeth's color cards so that I have a starting point for some new stylist somewhere else. add: via the miracle of facebook, I just found Elizabeth. I guess from now on I'm driving 2 hours each way for a haircut. read more

Just come here! It's located in a really cute area. It is extremely clean and extremely eclectic in the decor. My hairstylist Michelle is awesome and it's the most professional experience that you could have. The receptionist is very helpful and will call you the day before an appointment to confirm. Finally I love the music they play! They'll start out with 80s and then go right into the newest electronica read more

Love me some FAUX. I have been going there for over 7 years. I began going there because and old girlfriend of mine was dating one of the hairdressers there and he would always tell me to come in. So one day I finally made and appt. At that time he had an assistant named Siobhan (pronounced Shivon) who was helping him out and was about to be done with her internship there. See in order to get your own station at FAUX you have to go throught their 3 year internship program on top of Cosmetology school. That way, by the time they get a station, they are really good at cut and color. And that makes me feel better cause I know some newbie aint gonna mess up my hair. Well aftr a year and a half my hairdresses was planning on leaving and Siobhan was done assisting him, so she got her own station. 5+ years later and 10 or more of my good girlfriends and guyfriends and coworkers that now go to her, she still rocks! Very cutting edge cuts and I love what she does with color. I love the results of every "experiment" I make her go through on my hair. hahaha. I'm a hair die whore and i know it. I say i'm gonna stay dark and then three motnhs later i decide to put more highlights in. hahahah. I'm amazed she hasn't killed me yet. I highly recommend going to Faux and asking for Siobhan. You won't be dissapointed. read more

I've been going to Faux for 5 years and every visit is the same - great tunes playing in the background, friendly and professional staff, and most important, a great haircut. My regular stylist, Nemesis, is the man! I never know how his hair is going to look like. What I do know is that I'll leave with an awesome haircut every time. Have you ever had a haircut that combs itself? Pretty cool. Even after 4-5 weeks my hair is still manageable and looks good. When I go to other places, my hair grows out looking like a chia-pet. If you're a business professional like myself or just looking for a great haircut or a fresh new look, you need to try this guy. About the stylists: At Faux, every Stylist undergoes an intensive 2-3 year training before they can go run off on their own. This Faux tradition produces talent and successful professionals who are serious and ambitious about delivering the latest fashion and style to their customers. About the place: Like no other. The design layout is functional with a twist of feng-shui and often showcases a collection of local artists' work. read more

I literally created a Yelp account just so I could reveiw this place. I've been dying my hair since I was 11, but hadn't in a couple of years. I tried to dye my hair from red to a mix of blue and green. I guess I was out of practice. It ended up being a horrible mess of moldy green, teal, ink blue, orange, blonde and brown. I was devistated and went to the first salon I could find that did non-natural colors (Rage, also in Campbell), but they were all booked up and couldn't take me as a walk-in, understandbly, but said that there was a salon down the street that might be able to help. Enter Faux. They were able to help me *right away* on a weekend afternoon with *no notice*. My stylist came and talked to me about what I wanted and she was super friendly and understanding. She even got me smiling and laughing even though my hair was an abortion. She ended up doing a mix of greens, blues, teals, and purples. My hair looks like the sea! its by far the *awesomest* hair I have ever had and it started with the *worst* hair I have ever had. It was a bit pricey ($150), yes. But considering how horrible my hair was in the beginning and how detailed and awesome my hair is now, it was TOTALLY worth it. I could not recommend this place more. They are creative and friendly and SAVIORS of hair :) read more

I spent ages researching salons to get my very dark brown hair done ombre. After months of searching, a friend of mine recommended Amber at Faux Salon. I am so impressed! Not only is she absolutely lovely to talk to, but she was so meticulous with my hair and stayed over an hour after the Salon closed to make sure my hair looked perfect-- which it did! I've never received so many compliments. I would recommend Amber and Faux Salon to absolutely anyone. Definitely not inexpensive, but well worth my hard-earned money! read more

Ok ladies... for those of you with naturally curly hair (hated it as a child) but have to love it now... Jason gets all the love from this gal! He himself has the curls so he knows and understands that we have this love/hate hair relationship.. He is patient and if you tell him what you want he will either agree or disagree but do it anyway.. I am lucky as he usually always agrees.. He does fantastic "RED" colors and gives great haircuts! He is patient and has an awsome assistant as well! Love YA Jason.. Lori read more

****GINA HIDALGO is now at Sailors and Saints in Willow Glen and other places. Find her at ginahidalgo.com I have been going to Faux's for over 25 years and will not be going any longer due to poor unethical practices. When I've called for appts they would not tell me when Gina would be available and gave false information while suggesting other stylist. Well I found Gina and she is still as talented as ever! Thanks for the years of great hair Gina! Oxox read more

After the two girls I used to see here moved, I finally had an appt with Luis! He's amazing. He gives you his honest and real opinions and he really is able to visualize what he thinks would suit you best, while listening to what's important to you. He's my hair guy now! read more

More than four years later and I am still happily seeing Jason for all of my hair wants and needs. He and I have been experimenting with different colors from rudy red to deep redwood, highlights to lowlights, deep brown that shows burgundy in the sunlight to a fierce bright auburn Each one of his colors are mixed perfectly and individually to my desires. I never fail to get compliments on his colors and they last and last. His cuts are still amazing as well. Recently I had him do a very severe a-line bob with the back undercut and tinted a different color than the rest, this has been the most complimented style by far of any cut I've ever had. One of the other stylists actually approached him for pointers on how he was able to get the cut right as she had a client who wanted something similar. Don't bite my look, mama! I've said it before and I'll say it again, curly girls can't and won't go wrong with Mr. Karam! read more

I waited three haircuts to write my review. I get hair cuts about once every 2-4 months depending on the previous haircut. I see Adriana and she's been great and super sweet everytime. She somehow manages to make me not look as hideous as I normally do. Snob factor? I don't feel it at all with Adriana. Maybe with some of the other employees at this place. But hey, it's nothing more than water off my back, really. read more

Woohoo! My first Yelp review EVER! What better place to pick?! I am here to say that I FREAKIN' LOVE GINA! I'm proud to say that I have drank the muthafuggin' kool-aid. If you're the type that can't take a joke/the truth/in some way or another have a stick up your ass, then stay the hell away. I'm serious! Besides, you'd be taking away precious chair-time I'd gladly fill. You're guaranteed a great conversation when you're in Gina's chair; there's no bullshit with her. She'll tell you what she thinks of your current cut/color (and no, it's not always bad), and she'll tell you what will look good and what will look very, very bad. You can do that when you've been doing hair as long as she has (18 years, if I remember correctly). AND she's quick! Holy freakin' cow, she cut off 7 inches of my mop with a razor -- and she shaped it up, with all the layers and shtuff -- and had a final product in like, 10 minutes! Crazy! Now before you go thinking that's a bad thing, keep this in mind -- I'm still getting compliments a month later! She also didn't push color and/or highlights, which was a HUGE plus with me! If you have naturally jet black hair like mine (in my case, it's Wonder Woman blue black), after a while, you start to think that's a bad thing, since everyone and their mom and sister wants to lighten and highlight the hell out of their hair - hence, the reason I started coloring in the first place. It's nice having a stylist that appreciates dark hair! So, what are you waiting for? Go see her! And take cash with you! read more

Been going to this place off and on for about 2 years...or 3. Don't remember. First things first, this place is awesome. Around south bay, normally you go around barbershops, salons, and boutiques and junk and generally its pretty dry mirror and tiles kinda shop. Not any ol shop, generally ASIAN shops. Yes, deep down I hate my own kind, may Jeebus save me. Anyways, typical blah places with 70's sun faded pictures of frizzy half-a-hair-spray-can look. Quite frankly I was tired of that and the you-ask-for-short-but-they-cut-shorter dealio. Go to Faux and its like, wow all your problems and debts go away! Not really. But you can have that illusion. Outside, the only characteristics are tinted windows...and a crown? Odd and plain, but totally contrasted inside. What with paint splattered ground, naked abstract pictures on the walls, blobby mirrors, and music thats either in the 70's, 80's, never heard of, in another language, or on crack. Thankfully the thumping techno isn't there. Every stylist you see has a personallity with hair cuts of all shapes and colors. My first Stylist was Natalie. Showed her a picture of an anime character (nerd am I) and she cut it to my desired look. Pretty damn cool. Honestly, I don't know why, but after a while, I swapped over to her brother Nemesis. Yes, Nemesis....moo-wahahahah. If you open to him, he'll open up to you. Can be a real person compared to those Asian ladies that zip through your hair in 5 mins. Now I know why girls divulge their secrets to their stylist....Not me of course. *shifty eyes* This deserves a 5, but I knocked it down to 4 because its damn pricey. You pay for the environment, humanly stylist, and good hair. read more

I admit, I'm kind of a stylist hopper. I'm the client that is typically not very loyal to my stylist or I sometimes feel like I need a change of scenery. I also blame Groupon and Living Social for luring me away. I've been going to Faux Salon off/on for almost 10 years now. And even through my salon hopping days I have always come back. So it's no surprise that I am finally writing a review for them after this length of time. Cari Davey is my stylist and she is probably one of the sweetest people I know. Cari has been doing my hair now for almost 5 years and I have never had a bad cut or color job. Never. It's Cari's expertise and easy-going fun spirit that keeps me coming back. So even for this self-avowed salon hopper, I must say that Cari is always someone I will come back to for consistent good work. read more

I hate getting my hair cut. There, I said it. I am a disgrace to my gender, as I hate people fussing over me. I never know what I want done to my hair, I can't stand hairdressers who don't talk to their clients, and I hate sitting in that damn chair for hours on end not knowing where my stylist is. I just want to go to someone who can tell me what to do with my hair and do it quickly, instead of looking at me like I just farted when I tell them that I am their empty canvas and to do whatever they think would be best. Thank God I found Gina. Yeah, I blasphemed and gave huge kudos to Gina at the same time. I'll tell you, whoever had to go to 5 Color Cowboy after seeing Gina is a bit nutty. I went to 5 Color Cowboy before seeing Gina (no, I won't say who I went to there, as I am not a complete bitch), and needless to say, my hair was fried. Completely fried, so fried that my fiance noticed how unhealthy my hair was. Nice people, but whack ass hair job. Mmmm hmmm, I said whack ass. But I will save that for my review of 5 Color Cowboy. Gina is fantastic. I am so damn ignorant about my hair (besides knowing when it is fried), I don't how how to style it. I told Gina, and she gave me a cut that was so low-maintenance it was ridiculous.When my hair grew out, my roots hardly showed. Fantastic cut and color aside, she took the time to know me, know what I do for a living, and know what my style is so she could give me the perfect haircut. That right there is the difference. Yes, sometimes she is busy and can't give you her undivided attention, but no decision about your hair goes without her consent. Go to Gina. Your hair begs it of you. **Update 10/07** I still go to Gina, if that means anything to anyone. That wasn't a one-off review. read more

It's never not about the hair. And my hair has been around the block. I've seen hair dressers from one side of the Bay Area to the other. And then I found Gina. My days of whoring this hair around town are over. I've loved every cut she's ever given me. She's fun, professional and she knows what she's doing. From edgy cuts to "pretty" pretty she's got it down. She's the only referral I've ever given friends and family for hair. Thanks Gina! read more

Thank you @lilyawlin ! L.A Grandma Adela was spoiled by Lily at Faux. She said "I wish I could come back every three months to have her cut my hair, this is the best cut I've ever had in my life." Grandma is 88 read more

And another update! I have referred a couple of friends here who now see Agie. The other day I HAD to have my hair cut--it was driving me crazy because I was trying to wait as long as possible between cuts (recession budget). Well, I couldn't wait any longer and Liz wasn't available, so I went to Isaac. I know a couple of people who were Isaac's clients and I've witnessed his magic sitting in Liz's chair across the way. He and I had a great time trying to figure out what to do with my hair that would be different and cute. He asked me questions and then came up with something that he started to form on my head. I'm still getting used to it and have received a bunch of compliments today. Awesome! Sometimes it's good to get a different perspective--but I always seem to go back to Liz--she doesn't freak out or give me a guilt trip for seeing someone else sometimes. read more
