Amazing haircut by Sidney. I wanted a high fade, great price too. Highly recommend in South Bay

I never write reviews, but the service here was so great I felt like I had to take time to appreciate. Thank you so much Kim, who stayed until 10 pm for me, just doing my nails. I had a Gel X soak off and she took her time being diligent so it wouldn't hurt my natural nails. While I was soaking she did a deep clean of the whole place. Washed all the hair cutting stuff, washed laundry, etc. I asked her how much longer she'd be here closing the store after helping me. She said it usually takes her a couple hours to clean up and close. This is the type of service, small business worth supporting. Will come again. read more

Rude , can't understand the simple explanation. The short lady was telling me not look at my son's haircut. I was looking because it's was not even on the left side. More hair on one side and then she just stay on the other side. Not recommend for men's or boys haircut. I will 0 star if I can. read more

Visiting up here for work, and at the end of the day noticed my hair was out of control. I did not have a lot of time so I picked up the phone and called Sydney for availability. She was available immediately so I scrambled in. She cut my hair attentively and took her time. She didn't wonderful job at a very reasonable rates. I saw another client getting her nails done. Seems like they do everything from hair to nails. Definitely recommend. . read more

They burned me during waxing my upper lip. The owner needs to train her staff and tell them not to mislead customers. I asked for threading and they started prepping to wax my eyebrows. They lied. When I asked them, they said that the threading person was out of town. read more

Do not go here for haircuts. They don't clean their tools and follow good health practices. I hate to write this review. I used to be a regular here, I tip generously for haircuts. The last time I went, the lady who was going to cut my hair just finished cutting someone else's hair and immediately told me to sit in the seat that they used for cutting without cleaning up ANYTHING; hair still on the ground, all tools re-used not cleaned. If you pay close attention to the drawers they use to keep hair cutting tools in, both of them say "Soiled". They don't have a drawer for cleaned tools because they don't clean them. I'm ashamed to have been a regular here for so long and not have realized that the barbicide jars they have are always full -- because they never use them. After that haircut, I've been getting psoriasis on my scalp and I can't help but attribute to me going to there to cut my hair. I regret getting the haircut and should've just walked out of there. read more

Scam scam scam alert! This place is a scam! I came by because the other place in this plaza was packed and asked them how much for hair wash and blow dry? They said 15. Ok sure let's do it. After they washed my hair and it was still soaking wet. They said you're done. Uh how can I leave with soaking wet hair? They didn't even towel dry. So I'm like how much is it to blow dry? She's like do you want styling ? Me: no just want it to be dry. So they start drying my hair without a comb, just using their hands and it wasn't drying. I'm just like can you use a comb. They charged me an additional $10 to use a comb. I could've did a better job at home Will never come here again and I suggest you stay away since the owner also did this to another person who came in after me for a haircut when they wanted more layers and not have a straight cut they added to the hair cut price another $10. read more

Folks are friendly. They do haircuts as well as nails. I had Le give me a pedicure ($20) and gel manicure with a small design ($30). They have a lot of nail colors to choose from. I had a picture of a design and when looking from afar it looks decent, but when looking a bit closer, the lines are a bit shaky; hence I'm assuming that price. The pedicure was like most places in the area but without a small massage. Overall an average spot that's open late. I would come back if I want something super simple fairly quickly for my hands. Glad to have tried another spot in Milpitas. read more

Sydney is the most professional and skilled hair stylist I have every come across. She mixes style with elegance, balance and comfort and you leave looking with an exceptionally balanced hair cut. She is warm, engaging and you can trust her with a variety of hair styles. This place definitely offers near best if not the best bang for the buck when it comes to haircuts and hairstyles. Definitely recommend this place for haircut, hair styling, other salon offerings and Madame Sydney herself. read more

Probably not good for hair cuts. I might not have paid tip in my last visit or so. This time, that fat little lady ended up cutting around my neck and i think it was on purpose. Alas, that was last visit read more

Very professional and sweet in demeanor. I dropped in at 7pm not expecting much, but they were very polite and patient. I got a manicure and pedicure, and they were gentle -taking their time with perfecting the nails. Will recommend if you're looking for nail salon, I'll be back for sure! (They're very thorough with their COVID cleanliness, maintaining shields and chair covering everywhere too) read more

Very rude! There were two people working on customers. No one else was waiting in the store. I asked her how long the wait would be and she said you can wait or leave. I told her I don't mind waiting but I just need to know how long. I asked 10-20 min or 40-50 min so I could run a quick errand. She was rude and then said you can wait or leave. I told her of course I am leaving with that rude attitude. read more

I asked for layers and it wasn't a very specific request for layers, but I liked it in the end after she styled it. The back could be slightly less choppy. However I also asked for 1/4 inch - 1/2 inch and she cut about an inch and a half measure instead. So that I really don't like. Also I said multiple times I only want a trim, that I wanted to grow my hair out longer, and even though she knocked her head and said yes, she still cut it shorter than I asked, which I tried my best to specifically let her know. It seemed like she only gave my hair styling because I was saying that the hair was too short and knew i might be upset with it. I recommend not coming if you actually want your hair a specific way, and do mind if it's not the way you want it. read more

Avoid!!!!!! Do not go here to do your hair color or nails. There is new management and staff and I promise you will regret it!!! First she will beg you to post a good review and tell you she will give you $10 off if you post a good review on Yelp. Second she has no idea what she is doing. The only okay thing this salon does is men's or boy haircuts. The lady there is trying to provide every service possible (hair cures, color, mani and pedi, facials , waxing , eyebrows and anything else you ask for she will say yes). It's obvious she has no experience. The sad part is she keeps her son one of the rooms. It's weird. I'n def going to repot that because it's not normal. She does not know what she is doing with hair. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt. I really did try to the point where I just paid her and left. She kept seeing other customers in between my appointment and left the hair dye on my hair for way too long that I lost half of my hair. Do you want to know what she said- It's my fault because I Am allergic to hair dye. Guess what I am not! I always do my hair but the salon I normally go to closes down. Don't go here. I am telling you this women is crazy. And the whole time she will tell you to give her a big tip because she needs money. She did a horrible job on my hair and was straightening my hair while it's wet! She burned my hair that's why it look oiley. She charged me $350 for my hair when she I initially told me $200. That's another thing she does. She will tell you a cheaper price and change it at the end. Horrible nail job!!! She did this while I was sitting on the waiting chair by the door since she has no space and charge me $60 for this crap. read more

This was my 2nd time here for eyebrow waxing under new management. I now have burn marks all over my forehead and eyebrows. I have been here before and they were ok, so came back here as I was passing by. The lady asked me if my eyebrows look ok after it was done and repeatedly kept applying Neosprin but did notice the redness and burning until I came home. Never going back here for sure Adding photos from 2 days later. The burnt spots were darkened and don't know how long it will take to heal. Really mad about this place. I cannot believe I tipped them for this service. read more

The salon smelled so clean. The hair dresser sanitized her hands before touching my hair. Absolutely loved my haircut! I had ruined my hair with home haircuts in quarantine, so glad I got them fixed and evenly cut. I got long layers in V shape. She did an awesome job with the layers and they turned out better than I had expected. Would definitely recommend Sydney Salon read more

Updated review: Went back in today to get my nails re-done. No problems. She took her time and the employees were apologetic. My nails look really good! I paid 25 for a messed up gel manicure and I'm not happy with it. It took an hour and a half just to do my manicure. You can tell the layers are uneven and the lady who painted my nails did not even get the sides and didnt clean the excess nail polish. It look like a 10 year old did my nails. The other lady who did my pedicure did a better job. My nails should be redone for free. The nail polish is already chipping off my nails. read more

So today I was sitting in the parking lot debating if I should enter apple hair salon or Sundays beauty since they both sit in the same parking lot. Plan was for myself and my teen daughter to get full set, and 2 pedicures, my 9 year old needed mani and pedi also. Apple was a busier and Sydneys had just 1 person getting pedi. I though would myself go to apple and my daughters can go to Sydneys. I decided to call her. She gives me price for full set. I ask her how much for mani pedi. She sighs like she's annoyed AF and then hangs up on me. I called she didn't answer. So I walked In and said are you the one who hung up on me? She looked like she saw a ghost lmao. She then stuttering says her phone does not work. I told her her attitude sucks and that she's rude af. I promised her a review so here ya go. This was my experience... just go to apple salon hair and nail there is a reason they are always busy and Sydneys is always EMPTY. I walked into apple salon they welcomed us in and even entertained and treated my 2 little ones who were also with me to snacks and waters so they could do my nails read more

Let first start with the positives, the nail technician Le was nice when she answered the phone and gave a quote when asked. $32 for a simple medi-pedi. I came back as a second timer cause the nail technician was nice last time. There was another technician that partially worked on my nail 2 months again who done a okay job. I thought of giving this salon a second chance and to help the little job nearby where I live. My technician was wearing a mask. This session would have been more relax if the other lady wasn't talking loudly. Here are the negatives of this salon, the first time I have called, I believe the owner answered and she gave me a quote of $30 for express simple medi-pedi then when I came in and ask for the same quote she denied and told me that the lady went home so she didn't honor it. The owner lady is quite loud, and unsanitary because she would sneeze and not cover or wear her mask. She like to talk loud in Vietnamese and talk about her client. Tip: if you ever want to get service here, I recommend you to call ahead and book appointment as well as get a quote. Sounds like the owner make up cost/price how she feels. I tip over 30 % just because the technician was nice and professional. The quality wasn't great when I got into my car, my nails was poorly painted and it all chip the next day. The low stars is for the final production. I had asked my technician not to cut much much cuticles but I notice my cuticles all messed up and and so many cuts. My nails and finger isn't attractive anymore. I came back cause the first time the same nail Le technician did a great job read more

My sister wanted to change up her hair, cut dead ends off, and get some new cute bangs! She was totally in love with her new hairstyle, not going to lie we were nervous and skeptical cause we've had some bad experiences before. We went in and it was empty, the man who cut her hair was so welcoming, didn't catch his name but he has such a rememberable face and nice personality. So glad we met him! The owner was trying to get me to do my hair as well but I didn't want to today, she sat close to me and showed me photos trying to convince me. The gesture was kind but maybe next time! -- She didn't want to show her face but here are two photos of her hair cut! read more

I took myself to this haircut after moving to Milpitas and couldn't have been more impressed with the haircut. The environment is friendly and provides honest input on how the hairstyle can be modified upon request. Very knowledgeable. Also, the investment into ensuring a clean environment is apparent. There are screens separating each hair booth and they require you to wear masks to get a haircut. I was asked to wait as they did a thorough clean of both the desk and sitting booth. They take cleaning seriously. Thanks again for the nice cut! read more

im not gonna try on this one. this hair salon gave me a summer cut, and thats alright. The problem is, its in the middle of spring. IN THE MIDDLE OF SPRING. MY DAD ASKED FOR ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF SPRING! The employees never bothered to ask me for my opinion on what I should get. THEN! I decided to go home. My sister was done with her pedi. Then someone made comments on her hair. They charged some more to get it fixed. $100 for one day, just for an ass haircut and pedi. Not worth it, trust me. Go If You are An adult, but if your a kid, make your own decisions. Now I got kids making fun of my cut. read more

-I miss the old management. New one is still trying to get the hang of things. I was getting my toes done and they decided to blow dry someone's hair right next to me! Even those there were more seats available for them to dry their hair farther from me! I was getting blasted by the blow dryer as well. -The new nail tech people are not gentle as well. Lee, from the old management was VERY gentle with our ingrown toe nails and the new management people don't even care that they hurt us! They just say "oh because you have an ingrown". Like well then you should be more careful!! I don't think they're very experienced and are still experimenting with this kind of service. -they made my mom bleed from her ingrown. And it was a lot of blood. All they said now was "in 2 hours you don't hurt anymore" -The only person who I think is exceptional is Shushi who is the person who does the threading. She takes her time making sure that your eyebrows are even and flawless as well as being a very kind person. Love Shushi and hope the other people can learn from her. -So when painting my toes, she over painted them and is removing the ones on my skin with nail polish remover...but the weird thing is, when she had too much nail polish remover on the brush, she dabs the excess on my feet. (?) -they're also pretty noisy. Always talking when I came here to relax read more
