I was in the area visiting my family and I really wanted to get my hair cut. I had long hair for a while and needed a change. I looked at several different salons and many of them were just out of my price range and I really didn't trust the cheap ones. After seeing that this place had great reviews and ratings I decided to take a chance. I walked in and the owner was extremely sweet and welcoming. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she explained what she was going to do with my hair. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed the whole time. She did an AMAZING job I am absolutely obsessed with my hair and I have been getting so many compliments. It was also pretty affordable I paid $21 plus tip. I highly recommend this salon and will definitely be back! read more

Julie is great! Always attentive, quick and nice to talk with. Does a fantastic job for men's haircut.

I came in here not knowing what to expect since I've had a lot of bad experiences with people not knowing how to cut my curly, thick hair but Julie absolutely amazed me. She gave me EXACTLY what I wanted and even went the extra mile to check my hair several times so that it can be how I wanted it. She was super sweet and friendly, I will definitely be returning here once I need another cut. read more

My husband has been coming to Unique Hair for years. He is Hispanic and has wavy hair in the back and straight on top. This is the only place he has been able to get a cut that addresses the problem. His hair always looks good and he has never had a bad cut. The staff her make you feel like you are special and for the price, you can't go anywhere else in Riverside for such outstanding service. Give them a try, you will be truly happy you did. read more

The owner is super nice and knows exactly what she is doing. I love my haircut and for the price you'd think it was done by a salon for like $200. Good price, $18 for my cut. I would recommend her to family and friends. Tip: if you are going to leave a tip and pay with your debit card give her a heads up before she charges you so she can add it to the tab since there is no place for tip on the receipt. Overall it was a great experience, I'm normally very shy and uncomfortable but she made me feel at home and did a wonderful job. :) read more

I was looking for a place close to home to give me a new style and this salon is amazing. Julie who owns this place and does hair is soooo sweet and listens to what you want she works with your hair and talks with you to see exactly what you are looking for and my hair came out amazing she been doing hair for over 20 yrs and it shows plus her prices are amazing I have very long thick hair and other places were quoting me $280 for and new style and dye and she did it for half the price. I would recommend anyone and everyone to go there. I will be going for all my beauty needs she also does waxing and nails (not acrylics but she does do gel) she is very fair with all her prices. read more

Loved Julie. Went in extremely last minute and she was so accommodating and friendly. I got color, cut and highlights and came out great. She wasn't pushy and really wanted to make sure I was liking the color, you can tell she aims to please. This place is very reasonable/affordable. Please give this salon a chance, I'll be back, very happy. read more

Came in for a quick trim and JULIE WAS AMAZING. I've had so many high end salons over charge and butcher my hair, but Julie was fantastic. My hair looks super healthy and EVEN. Plus it was only $17... I am so happy and will definitely be back! read more

Julie was so kind and welcoming! She asks if what she is doing is okay and doesn't go forward with cutting length without making sure it's what you want. Lovely lady who does great hair! read more

I went here today after reading so many great reviews. When I walked in there was lady sitting by herself, I told her I would like to get a haircut. And she said "right now?" She seemed kind of rushed. There was no air conditioning on and I was sweating the short time that she was cutting my hair. My hair cut came out okay. Maybe today was just a bad day, but based off this experience I won't be coming here again. read more

There are 7 people in our family and we have been customers of Julie for more than 15 years. She has many loyal customers who continueed to patronize her even after her move from Moreno Valley. Aside from cutting and styling hair to your liking, she is very friendly and personable. When we had a death in our family, she even attended one of the services. We truly value her service and friendship!! read more

I think it's always a risk walking into a hair salon, ESPECIALLY going from really long hair to short hair... But I was so fabulously impressed with her ability to hear me. I am soooo so happy! I wanted it short and even length but choppy too with no bangs and she did exactly that!!! She also was super sweet and accommodating when I came in with not only my husband, and my toddler, but my newborn!! She cut half my hair while I was breastfeeding my newborn and did a really fast but professional and quality job while my husband held the baby. She was super comfortable to be around, I felt like I knew her forever!! You couldn't even see my layers either but when I put it in a ponytail it was so cute and didn't look all chopped off. I will go back and I'm going to send my husband for his trims there too! I 100% recommend going here! Plus, the price is AMAZING!!! read more

Unique Salon - Nail Salons Near Me - Riverside, California

Great place. Make sure you go the correct salon, there is another salon 2 doors down that can be a little confusing

Came in for a trim because my hair was so dry and just looked horrible. Was greeted by a sweet lady named Julie. I have very thick hair and I know it's a hassle for some, but Julie didn't mind at all. She is such a nice and funny lady! Absolutely adorable! It's a 15 minute drive for me, but it is definitely worth it. I encourage anyone to try this place out at least once! read more

I have a wedding to attend this weekend and was not really feeling my old stylist anymore so I decided to go out on a whim and visit Julie! She was so attentive to what I wanted and it's safe to say that I won't be going anywhere else! Thank you so much Julie!! And just a heads up there is another salon in the same strip mall so be sure that you're at the right place I made the mistake of walking into the wrong place at first. read more

Was checking out the salons near our area here at Yelp and saw this one with 5 stars and positive reviews. Decided to go and give this place a shot since I needed a haircut and hair color so badly. I was greeted by Julie who was very sweet. She paid attention to every detail about what I want with my hair. It came out the way I wanted it to be! It was not a typical trip to the salon since Julie made each and every moment of my stay there very comfortable. I'm definitely coming back here! And I recommend those people who've never been to this place to check it out too. You wont regret it. read more

Great place, great quality!! I've been coming to Julie for close to 2 decades and she has never disappointed. Great barber at an excellent price. I'm a very picky guy, lucky for me, they are also. I went to almost everyone in Moreno Valley and was disappointed by everyone, until I found Unique. I even traveled from yucaipa to come to this place and I lived out there for 4 years!! Needless to say, anyone not going here is missing out. read more

Best hair salon ever! Julie is seriously such a sweet person and pays a lot of attention to your needs and to detail. Really glad I found this spot :) read more

Although Julie was very nice and customer service friendly. The hair cut she gave me was horrible. I was really sadden after my hair dried because I gave her the benefit of the doubt when I left her salon. I came in asking for a trim and to even out my layers. Although she somewhat evened the bottom layer of my hair by cutting off 1 inch (which I didn't plan to cut off) she butchered my hair. My layers were completely uneven in the front, although it did look like she tried. But the back of my head was horrible. When I ran my hands through my hair i could tell how uneven my hair was from the left to the right. One side was longer than the other. It's like she layered all around my head but somehow forgot to cut the middle of my hair. I kept telling her I just wanted a trim and to even the layers and she kept insisting that they were even. I told her the middle of my hair still feels heavy and doesn't even look like it was cut. She told me that she needed customers and wanted me to be happy so if she wanted me to cut it more she would but she didn't think it needed to be fixed. I just left , in hopes that it did look as good as she said when it dried and I didn't want her to mess it up even more than I thought she already had. Might I add that she was the only person working. I was early to my 11 am appointment and had to wait 20 minutes past my appointment and she said she couldn't afford to pay other workers. Well in theory if you can't afford to pay other workers than you should take care of your clients needs or they won't be coming back. $25 for a hair cut and I even asked if she could blow dry it but she told me because of my hair style it would cost $15 extra to blow dry and she recommend just to put some stuff in my hair so it could look more naturally wavy. I should have know by her not wanting to blow dry it, something was wrong because usually salons jump on being paid extra to style it. So not worth it. I went today to another salon and only paid $20 and they were able to fix it and blow dry it for me. Thank you Lily from Thania's Salon, you did an amazing job! read more

See all

I have been a customer for over 20 years, it is the best haircut in town. Julie is very professional, and courteous.

Everything was great--Julie is very nice, I've had two haircuts here and they were great. There's a bit of a language barrier but she checks in all the time and makes sure you're getting what you want. Really reasonable prices too. I'm SUPER picky about my haircuts, and she's the only person in Riverside I've gone back to for another cut (including much more expensive places). read more

This is definitely going to be my hair salon for years to come!!! Julie is AMAZING! She cut my hair exactly the way I wanted! Like exactly! I had really long hair to my waist in a V shape and I wanted a blunt cut with lots of layers and Julie totally delivered!!!! My haircut was only $25! That cannot be beat! Thank you Julie! I'm recommending you to everyone I know! read more

I've been going to Unique Salon for over 4 years. The owner and her help are very dedicated and experienced at their craft. I've never received a bad hair cut here, ever. And I've always walked out feeling that I should've paid more, since their prices are so reasonably low ($13 for a men's cut, $18 for a women's)...so I try to tip as much as I can.... I've recommended several of my friends and family here, and will continue to come back, since the service is so positive, friendly, and professional. read more

Julie is such a wonderful person! I came in for a haircut and she did a really great job! She cut it just the way I asked. I am definitely going back! read more

Julie is great! Just got my hair cut and I am very happy. The reviews are true, she really does a great job.

Absolutely amazing!! This was my second time going to Unique Salon and Julie did an incredible job cutting and coloring my hair. She is seriously the sweetest woman and we chatted the entire time. Consistency is key when it comes to finding the perfect hair stylist and Julie just gets it right every time! read more
