Ok. So I was honestly very terrified to come here. Growing up in nice, beachy areas of Los Angeles, it was basically taboo to be seen at Supercuts or Fantastic Sams, and you would never dare to tell anyone that you get your hair cut there. I am half black/half white. My hair is thick and curly with a very fine texture. It's not "black hair" that is kinky and rough, but it is curly enough to the point where I absolutely HAVE to keep it managed, brushed, and conditioned. Well I had the flu for a long time and was bedridden for the entirety of the ride-out. I wasn't doing my hair after showers. I practically kept my hair in a tight wrap-bun everyday for ~4 weeks. Eventually my hair started to knot. It got so bad that I had one whole dreadlock made up from every lock of hair that had previously been separate. To give you a better picture- my mom asked me if a rodent was living inside my hair. So I had been researching all over for the perfect place to go. After all, it takes a very specific kind of skill and expertise to work with natural hair. I couldn't find anything close enough to me that wasn't some high end salon, so I decided I would just have to come here. I do NOT regret this decision in any way. I called this location and spoke to a very welcoming voice who told me to come in for an estimate. He said to come in at any time before 8 and he would work on my hair himself. NICHOLAS IS A LIFE SAVER. My hair basically had to be ripped apart strand from strand and brushed out until the knots loosened. While he was brushing out the disaster I created, Nicholas suggested I also get a trim to get off the damaged, dead ends. I was at this Supercuts for TWO HOURS thinking that I was going to have to have my head completely shaved. However, Nicholas worked his Harry Potter magic and got EVERY SINGLE DREADLOCK BRUSHED OUT. After he rinsed my hair and softened it up with some product, he worked on the trim. I just have to say that I love my hair so much and just spending two hours getting fixed up by Nicholas is encouraging enough to make you NEVER MISTREAT YOUR HAIR AGAIN. I honestly owe Nicholas my soul. He worked so extremely hard yet he was as determined as ever to make sure I didn't have to go home bald. Growing up I never properly cared for my hair, because I never cared to even HAVE my hair. I probably haven't gotten a professional haircut since middle school. Now, at 22, I will never let anyone other than Nicholas touch my hair til death do us part. Nicholas is a miracle worker and honestly all the after-cut tips in the world couldn't possibly express how very much he is appreciated. He deserves all the tips in the world, but he really deserves so much more than that (ie, my soul). I had such a great time conversing with Nicholas and I cannot WAIT to go in to see him again. Like, I'm actually excited for the next time I get to see him because I will LITERALLY shower him with cash and feel GOOD about it. I will now be saving up as much money as I can just so that I can go see Nicholas whenever I have a hair-scare. I plan on continuing to properly nourish my hair, learning to appreciate my beautiful mixed girl gift, and visiting Lord Nicholas (yes he deserves a royal title because he is that amazing) for my hair care needs. I hope to prepare my locks for a future coloring, and Nicholas has already been so encouraging about the process. Thank you so much Nicholas, you literally deserve the world. Since I can't give you that, please accept my infinite love, full blown support, and utmost appreciation as a token of my gratitude. If I could give all the stars in the multiverse, I would personally deliver them to your doorstep. Nicholas for Prez 2020 and beyond. read more

I would like to start by saying I'm probably not the right demographic for Supercuts, so although they didn't give me what I was looking for, you may have better luck. I asked for a mid fade, down to the skin, with a 1 on top. The woman who cut my hair never brushed my hair to lay it down and didn't have adjustable clippers for a smooth transition. She could not get rid of the guide lines, so she kept bringing the fade higher up my head and brought the top down to a 0. I was left with an uneven cut with visible guide lines. I'll just stick to a regular barber next time. read more

Took my son to get his haircut. The stylist (male) didn't leave any room for blending and now his hair looks horrible. My son came out of there crying. The only reason I am giving two stars is because the stylist working next to him did a fantastic cut on her client (also a young boy). read more

It makes me really sad to have to write this review but after thinking about it for 24 hours, waiting for my hair to settle, washing it, styling it- trying everything to convince myself it looks somewhat decent- I've decided to post my review. I went in yesterday to get my hair cut and was met by a very enthusiastic and nice Tiffany. She asked what I wanted done with my hair and I said I wanted to cut it shorter (showed her the length) and wanted it straight across. This is how I always get my hair cut and I love how it makes my already thing hair look. She fist bumped me and said "I got you! You trust me?" And then proceeded to do whatever she thought was best for my hair! She cut HORRIBLE layers throughout my entire head (short layers, not even long!) and then decided long bangs to frame my face was what I needed. When she pulled my hair forward I noticed it looked like she was about to cut it shorter than the rest of my length and I said "whoa wait are those bangs?!!" And she hurried up and snipped it off before responding "yup to frame your face! you're going to look so pretty just wait." At this point she finally turned me so I could see myself and my hair was just destroyed. Layers everywhere that were in chunks and not blended at all, random layers that are in huge steps starting at my chin. She made my already thin hair look so much thinner! Not to mention I have curly hair so now when I wear it natural the hair around my face is up to my eyes! It's just so bad!!! When I got home I cried for 2 hours straight and my husband reluctantly confirmed how bad it looks from behind and can't figure out what she was thinking. She cut some areas so short that I can't even have it fixed without having my hair cut into a super short bob! I can't even put my hair in a pony tail because of how short she cut the front, it al just falls out which is why I asked for straight across- I wish I could have knew she was cutting layers as she did it but she was pulling my hair straight above my head or out backwards so I had no idea she was cutting it at such crazy different lengths. It's going to take me 2 years to grow my hair back out and fix this horrible mistake. I did tip her at the end because she was attempting to be overly nice and tried to blow it out (for free) to make me like it but she knew by my responses that I hated my hair and just kept responding "awww" like she really didn't care that I didn't like it since she thought it looked great. I feel bad having to say anything but something like this can't be allowed to happen to anyone else. If someone comes in and asks for a certain hair cut or style or whatever it is, they should be listened to! It doesn't matter if you think it's a bad choice or you think you know best, it's wrong for someone to do what they want instead of what you asked for. I hope this never happens again to anyone. :( read more

The Stylist Fernando is AMAZING!!! He is a 5 Star World Class Hair Stylist! I've attached a photo of his work on my hair. I would highly recommend him as one of the best hair stylists I have found in San Pedro by far! read more

Supercuts - Hair Cut and Style by Fernando of Supercuts - San Pedro. - Hair Salons Near Me - San Pedro, California

Had an amazing experience today with a haircutter named Amanda. She was so kind and made me feel so comfortable. great conversationalist as well! she completely made my vision come to life with the particular way i wanted my hair styled!! highly recommend her. will definitely be going back to her again!! read more

I came in for a haircut after not having a haircut for 2 years. I don't normally trust anyone with my hair as only 6 ppl have ever touched my hair. I was very pleasantly surprised with Fernando. His professionalism and knowledge of hair are to be commended. He was very easy to communicate with and knew exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be back. read more

Great Salon! Fernando cut my hair for me. I have alopecia, and he made me feel very comfortable and did a great job on my hair. I highly recommend this shop and him and will return. read more

Amilsa cut my hair and did a good job. TO THE OWNER - Only having one person on duty is a great way to save money but go out of business. Amilsa was the only one there, cutting my hair, answering the phone to set appts and dealing with walk-ins, all of them walked out because she was the only employee there. You need to hire more employees. read more

I got my haircut today i had a trauma going to salons but AMILSA is the best she's very professional. She's very very nice I recommend her. I love her! She's not like other stylist who just cut your hair short right away. 10000/10 read more

When you come here just ask for Amilsa. You will get the cut you want, a stylist that listens and is meticulous in her craft. Only thing that this Supercuts needs to change is staffing, they need more people. I've been here a few times and it's always Amilsa as the sole stylist, seems pretty unfair to have one person running the show. read more

AMILSA ALVAREZ!!! this is a long and await review. I decided to get my haircut by her for the first time on Feb. 1st. To be honest I am super nervous because not so many people know how to cut curly hair. I decided to cut about 6 inches off of hair and go short this time around and she knew how nervous I was but she was able to make me trust her. We talked about our lives and her schooling and how she became a hairstylist. She is very personal and easy to talk to which is nice. When it came to the end she took pictures for me and I took a picture later adding my own products in my hair and I love my haircut. A little on the shorter side but it was okay because it isn't too short it's hard to tell with curly hair since people with curly hair have different type of volumes. I been going to her since then and getting my hair trimmed and I love working with her! She remembers me which is nice ! But just went the other day just to get a trim because I am going to grow out my hair again. Thank you Amilsa see you in 3 months !!! read more

Supercuts - Haircut time!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Pedro, California

Thanks for my first haircut Fernando! Great spot to go to in San Pedro. Nicholas and Fernando were both friendly and knowledgeable. Fernando was able to successfully cut my 8 year olds daughters damage to her curls. I've been hesitant and to get it cut for a while being that it's so curly but this place made me feel confident and at ease. Professional, clean, and relaxing environment. read more

Supercuts - My first haircut! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Pedro, California

There are two main problems with these chain salons: First, they seem to be very limited in what they can do, and second, (or maybe because of limitations) they don't listen. I have been to this salon twice. Nicholas cut my hair both times. I did not want to change my hairstyle, but he did not do as I asked either time. Did he not listen to me or was he unable to cut the same shoulder-length, layered style I'd worn for years? Luckily, the first time, the cut was fixable. When I got home, I trimmed it and styled it the best I could. It looked pretty good. It was still obvious that it was not layered properly, but as long as the wind didn't blow it, I could hide the unevenness. So I went back a second time. Again, I was not heard or excuses were made for why I couldn't get the cut I wanted. Actually, all I wanted was for Nicholas to even it out. It hadn't been that long since the first time I'd seen him. This time, the haircut is not something that I can fix. It is hideous. It is the worst cut I've had in decades. I've tried to style it in all the ways I could think of. I'm too embarrassed to go out. Even a hat doesn't cover enough of it. I need to buy a wig. In effect, I am now sporting the worst bowl cut you've ever seen. It is entirely too short and it is lopsided. A child could have done a better job with garden clippers. The cut I wanted was simple. I have no idea why it was impossible to do. I do not recommend going to this place unless you know that they can do what you want. How would you ever know, unless you want a lopsided, bowl cut? That is on their short list of We Can Do That. read more

First time trying Supercuts and I was so amazed by Lisa. She knew exactly what I wanted for my hair and had great conversation. I will definitely be back in the future! read more

Amilsa and Beverly are not only charming ladies but they are gifted hair stylists as well.Senior Discount included.25 bucks out the door.

Just got a man haircut there by Lisa. It was efficient and professional. I'll definitely return.

I have been going to this Supercuts for almost 2 years and Fernando is a highly skilled barber. People at work give me compliments on my haircuts and are surprised it came from a Supercuts. If you are looking for a clean cut and a good conversation ask for Fernando. read more

Aubrey just cut my hair best haircut I had in years.so nice so professional my layers look great.My new favorite spot

Woman that picks up the phone is rude and just hangs up before you can say anything. I guess they just hire trash.

I came in with a mess of unevenness all over my hair because I decided to give myself a bob at home that made me end up looking like Lord Farquad. My stylist was Fernando, he invited me to his chair and I asked him to give me a subtle A-line cut with a half inch trim all around and nothing else. He did just that, but it didn't stop just there. He recommended we make the cut a bit more dramatic to make the length difference in the front noticeable and suggested we add layers. I gave him full artistic freedom which is very unlike me because I usually play it safe but holy mother of Jesus. He made my hair go from blah to amazing and full of life! My hair looks super cute now and I don't have to use heat anymore to make it look decent. So thank you Fernando, you're a life saver! I highly recommend him! read more

Very good service, it's appointment only right now during Covid so make sure to call ahead. I was able to call ahead and get in pretty quick. Lisa was super helpful and knew exactly what I was asking for even though I wasn't even sure and did a great job read more

Be warned do not ever come here! Worst haircut of my life! Looks like I'll be staying indoors for the next month till this mess up grows. Do not go there for any type of mens haircut as the staff doesn't even know how to fade. Save yourself the embarrassment and spend the extra $20 at a real barbershop. I wish I could give 0 stars but that's not an option. read more

I am really pleased with supercut on 5th and Gaffey....I love the staff and atmosphere. Thank you Nicholas for my beautiful haircut I feel like a new and improved woman. I'd also like to thank Jamie, Fernando, And Ms.L for all your sicere kindness. read more

Ask for Nicholas, haven't been to this location yet but will definitely now that I know he is now at this location. Always dose a great job.

I brought my kids to this Supercuts two weeks ago for their haircut and was delighted by the wonderful work by stylists Lisa and Nicholas! They were both patient and friendly and did such great jobs. My kids got so many compliments on their haircut the following day. Today I went by to have my hair cut by Lisa and she listened with great attention, provided suggestions and gave me a fabulous cut that I've always wanted! On top of that, Lisa is so easy to talk to as if we were old friends. What a rare combo of skill and personality! This Supercuts is so lucky to have amazing stylists such as Lisa and Nicholas! I cannot recommend them enough. read more

Just got a haircut from Janice, she was very friendly and professional, I'll definitely be going back to her

Amilsa at this Supercuts is amazing!!! She was very sweet, patient, and did a great job on both mine and my wife's hair. I also want to commend Amlisa for how she reacted to what seemed to be an unstable homeless man that entered the salon without a mask on during my haircut asking to borrow her scissors to trim his beard. She politely told him no and to leave but when he refused, she asked him to leave or she would be forced to call the police. Thankfully the homeless man left without issue and Amilsa finished up my haircut without any issues. The way she handled the situation was very professional although I wish there had been another employee or security at the salon with her as it seemed she was all by herself at this point. Unfortunately as my wife and I left the salon, the same homeless man re-entered the salon so I flagged down the shopping plaza security to get the homeless man out which he was able to and Amilsa was able to lock the door as he left. All in all, my wife and I had a great experience with Amilsa but it was unfortunate that she had to deal with this unstable homeless man multiple times. This was an unfortunate situation and probably a coincidence that it happened while I was there but if you end up getting a haircut here, definitely get Amilsa!! read more

I was feelin a lil bleh so I headed into Super Cuts to get my regular undercut. Nicholas greeted me with a friendly "Hello how can I help you?". I continued with telling him I needed a change, different but not too different. Shorter but not too short. Damn did he deliver! I love my new haircut and I encourage everyone to go to Nicholas when you need a lil pick me up :) ps his blow outs are equally amazing read more

there's no other person i trust with my hair other than fernando. he is simply the best. always hits right on target with my color and i never leave unhappy. my whole family goes to him and him only. the only issue i had with this visit was another stylist who was very unprofessional. brenda is her name. she attempted to overcharge my mom when fernando was sick. and her interactions with me and other clients was very unprofessional. "i don't normally come up and touch people. even if they're pregnant." talking to her elderly client asking if she has a muscle or bone disorder and if that's the reason for her poor posture?!?! ridiculous. all in all. i would absolutely come here and highly recommend fernando. he is so friendly and loves to know all the gossip in your life simply the best person ever read more

This place took me in on short notice and Fernando did a great job on my hair. He took his time with my hair and made my experience very easy. I definitely recommend him for a proper haircut. read more

Fernando gave me the worst haircut I've ever had,, it was a first time walk in I will never go back 3 days later I had to go to a real Barber to try to fix the haircut this is the first time I ever ridden a review on Yelp but I feel that it is warranted! read more

A few weeks ago I took my three year old daughter for her very first hair cut. Amilsa was very friendly and patient. My daughter LOVED her haircut and bangs. She tells everyone "Amilsa cut my hair but didn't do my eyes." At bath time she insists "wash my hair like Amilsa." Thank you so much for a very nice experience, I will be returning read more

Nicolas did a great job with my sisters hair. I recommend him to other, I personally want him to do my hair.

As a senior woman, I've had my share of haircuts. We were a military family and have lived in more locations than I can count so I have also had my share of hair stylists. Lisa Bowen is one of THE most conscientious hair stylists I have ever come across. My hair is not easy to cut and she has endless patience in trying to help me find the right style. She never hurries me and goes back numerous times to make sure the cut is perfect. Today, I observed her with her previous client- she treated her like a friend and went the extra mile helping her out the door because she was using a walker. You don't find this kind of customer service and caring anymore. She is a real jewel and I feel blessed to have discovered her. read more

Fernando is a hero...! Thank you for your service in providing my son with a last-minute haircut, and your thoughtful consideration for every detail! He was super happy that you cut his hair exactly like he wanted it. read more
