I am so happy I found Vivian. She is really good at what she does and very knowledgeable of different hair types and hair products. My hair has a bit of a natural wave but it was never actually curly. I got a straight perm two years ago so I had frizzy, wavy hair that was growing out along with straight hair leftover. This year my hair started growing out more curly. I asked Vivian to give me a cut that'll enhance my natural waves. The cut she gave me totally surpassed my expectations (see pictures). Everyone thought I got a perm. I got so many compliments. She also taught me the correct way to apply different hair products without selling me on anything. I highly recommend her. read more

I love getting my hair cut by Vivian. Not only do I always get a great cut, but she's very personable and easy to talk to during. I've recommended others to her and they've loved her too! She makes it easy to try new styles, and gives good insight into what will look good for my face & style. Strongly recommend! read more

I cannot recommend Vivian enough! Started going to her in 2018, and she has seen me through two hair colors, and many different styles. She's great with any length hair, and lots of different hair types. Vivian is also so fun to talk to, and there's never an awkward moment in her chair. I never used to go to a hairstylist regularly -- I'd just see whoever was nearby at the time -- but I instantly became a regular with Vivian, because I've never liked my hair as much as I do with her! In fact, I like Vivian so much that, after moving to Seattle in 2020, I had my first business trip back to Mountain View recently, and the first thing I did after booking my tickets was call Vivian in the hopes that she'd have an appointment. And because Vivian is such a sweetheart, she managed to squeeze me in. I also recommended Vivian to my partner, who also loved her & ended up recommending Vivian to one of her coworkers, who -- you guessed it! -- also loved her. Seriously, book an appointment with Vivian, you won't regret it! read more

Vivian has been my hairstylist for years. She got to know me and made great suggestions for the kinds of haircuts that would look good. When I asked for highlights, she also suggested shades that would compliment my skin tone and what was appropriate for the season or occasion. I always get unsolicited compliments on my hair all thanks to Vivian's great skills. She is also very reasonable in terms of cost. I've now also taken my daughter to her for hair cuts and highlights. She is very responsive when I text her asking for an appointment. I highly recommend her! read more

Gosh, best haircut of my life. I've been doing an unhealthy number of head whips because it's so fun to feel all the layers Vivian added.

Vivian is my savior! I moved up here a few years ago and had been going to the same hair stylist back home for years and years. Coming up here, I had no idea where to look for a good haircut. I yelped my area and found Vivian and decided she looked great and tried her out. Over 4 years later she's the only person who I'll let touch my hair. We've been through a few different styles together, longer, shorter, color, highlights, bangs, and every time i love what she does. I trust her completely because she really tries to match what you want to what she knows will look good with your hair and your face. She's so creative and has really good visions. One of the things I really appreciate about her though is she is always so conscious of how you feel about her work. I've heard horror stories of other stylists when people tell them what they want or envision and then the stylish does some version of that but then puts their own spin on it whether you like it or not, Vivian would never do that unless you requested it or she triple checked with you first. She always confirms and reconfirms what I envision and then double checks before she tries anything different. She always makes me look good before i leave and I always love her work. I highly recommend her, she's a sweetheart and is great at her job. read more

Vivian is awesome. I'm so happy to have been introduced to Vivian years ago from another regular client that sees her. She genuinely loves what she does, and that makes every session with her such a great experience. Got curly hair? Fine hair? Thick course hair? She knows how to cut it according to what you're looking for. If you show her an image of what you want, she'll inform you about the maintenance and what it'll take to keep that look, if needed. She's patient and takes time to listen to what you want to do and provide feedback. I trust her enough to do whatever she thinks is best! She's a perfectionist and makes sure all the details are perfect in her work. At the end of the day, she wants to make sure you leave happy and are smiling. She's so sweet and talented! read more

Vivian is amazing and pays​ full attention to details. I loved my new haircut and would definitely recommend her.

I had my first haircut with Vivian a few weeks ago and have been meaning to write this review since. She has a wonderful, warm personality and is brilliant at her job as well - a rare combo! We discussed the cut in detail and she was very open with her suggestions of what she thought would suit me the best. Further, she offered some great tips to me about taking care of my hair in general, which I greatly appreciated. I am very happy with the haircut and love the way it looks! She's going to be my go-to person for haircuts from now on - thanks Vivian! read more

Best haircut of my life. Vivian knew exactly what I wanted and did not fall into the trap of cutting more than I was comfortable with. She made sure she understood how much I wanted to cut off and is clearly very experienced (she said that she's been working as a hair stylist for over 20 years). Definitely planning on going back as a regular. read more

Vivian has been cutting my hair for years! To my horror this past January, at age 24 I found bold spots at the back of my head. I was diagnosed with alopecia areata (an immune disease where my white blood cells attack my own hair follicles and cause my hair to fall out). I didn't feel like myself, I felt horrible, ugly, and had so much anxiety over my hair. Vivian also cuts my Mom's hair and expressed concern to her that I hadn't come in in a while. My Mom told Vivian about my hair loss. Vivian said she had seen alopecia before and that I should still come in. When I went in Vivian was very tactful about how self-conscious I was. While working on my hair she angled my chair, so the other costumers couldn't see the back of my head. She gave me lots of advice on how to take care of my hair and cheered me up, like she always does. She cut my hair shorter, so it was less likely to get tangled in knocks and pulled out. It was also less weight and stress on my scalp. She showed me how to clip back my hair to cover the bald spots. She couldn't stop my disease, but she gave me a day of confidence, of feeling beautiful, and of not having to cover up with a hat. Vivian is more than a hair dresser. She has a big heart and will work hard to make you feel good about yourself. read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Vivian for the last few months or so. She's amazing ! She worked with me on my initial cut to short and was able to give me exactly what I envisioned and couldn't put into words ! She worked each part of my hair asking plenty of questions as we went along and she's been able to replicate it ever since ! The best part is that I can style it myself at home and since it's cut so well it styles the same way as when she does it ! Love my hair and love Vivian ! :) read more

I'm a 32 year old male with shoulder length hair. I neglected my hair for a really long time. 2 years of growing and no real care. I was paralyzed by the fear of someone ruining my hair, like many of us. With an important trip coming up I couldn't wait any longer. The other reviews here sold me on Vivian and now I'm here to support her too! For my first appointment she was incredibly accommodating and responsive. Most importantly she is unbelievably sweet and has a great sense of humor. The trim was a success, she helped fix my mess of a mop! And she took the time to give me tips and hair care advice which I greatly appreciate. Tomorrow I'll walk with extra pep in my step because I feel so good about my hair! Thank you Vivian! read more

My hair style needs to be no-nonsense. Apart from slathering it with Weleda Rosemary Hair Oil before washing it, to combat dryness, washing is all I do - there is no hair dryer in my house, and I don't curl or straighten. Vivian makes it possible that my hair always looks fabulous, even with minimal care. I have been her client since 2008, and would never consider going anywhere else. People comment on my hair ALL the time. I get so many compliments on both my cut and color (colorful streaks) and people ask me all the time where I get it done. Women approach me at the Farmers' Market or in the store! One woman sent her friend, convinced that whoever had done my hair would make her happy - and that friend has been one of Vivian's clients ever since. My cut is short and has been short for many years, but Vivian makes it looks different every so often. I love how she has fun doing her work, how she analyzes the structure and feel of my hair and the shape of my head and takes all that into account. She is always enthusiastic about trying new things. I trust her blindly. When I have an idea about something different, she will think about it, make a few suggestions, and then start snipping, commenting, adjusting, and in the end, it's always a great style. We have been playing with color a lot - my hair is still dark brown with increasing white in it, and I want to jazz it up a bit, so she puts in highlights in funky colors. It is a different pattern every time, but never overpowering. After years of finding it an ordeal to go and have my hair cut, I now enjoy my experience, since Vivian clearly knows what she is doing, and she is a lovely person to chat with whilst working on my hair. read more

I've been coming to Vivian for the past 6 years -- she's the best! I need to look professional for my job and get regular blowouts, color services and cuts from Vivian; I'm so happy I found her. Over the years, when I travel or when I have to get a blowout on her day off I've tried 20+ stylists with excellent reviews. I always end up disappointed; nobody gets even close to what she can do. Given these results, I'd come to her regardless of her personality, but Vivian is also an incredibly nice and caring person. She's passionate about treating every one of her customers with care and respect. I'm looking forward to working with Vivian for many, many years! read more

Vivian is the best! Not only is she is talented, but she is truly passionate about what she does. Vivian goes above and beyond for her clients and wants them to love their hair. She takes the time to understand my hair and lifestyle to make sure my haircut and color services will work for me. It has really made a difference for me since I have very fine, straight hair, which can be difficult to work with. Men, women, kids, Vivian can do it all! read more

When you find a great hair stylist, you hold onto them and never let go! Vivian has been cutting and styling my hair for almost 10 years now. She has both an artistic and expert eye for finding a style that suits not only your face-frame and hair texture but also one that suits your personality and abilities to style your own hair. How many times have you gone to a salon and left looking great, receiving tons of compliments, but after only one wash, it looks shorter BUT like it was never shaped or styled at all?! Well Vivian, cuts and shapes your hair, and teaches you quick and easy styling tips to ensure that you continue looking awesome like you just left the salon! I remember there was just one time, I let her associate/colleague cut my hair instead of her (just for fun and to mix it up a little). It was supposed to be the same style and look, but BOY, did it come out old-fashioned and "mature"-looking. The point is, not only is she formally trained and certified, but she has many years of practice and experience, in addition to a natural ability that can't be taught. She is prompt, professional, and patient. Her prices are very reasonable for the services that she provides. She is good with kids and cuts my 10 year-old daughter's hair too. Overall, 5 stars! read more

I' m very lucky to find Vivian, a real hair stylist and artist. Usually I went to cheaper side of salon and didn't pay much attention to hair. So I keep having the same hair style for long time and finally feel needing some change. When I came to Vivian, she asked proper questions about my job, life style and my preference of colors. Along the process, she also teaches me how to take care of hair and hair divider. At the end, she blowed hair to a new style which makes me feel like a new person and with the right color highlights that later got a lot of compliments from my colleagues. Overall, very satisfactory experience read more

Vivian is amazing!She gives all her life to make sure you are happy with hair cut and make up. I have been going to her from past 7 years. She is an excellent make up artist too. The best part about her is her patience to make sure you are happy with her service. I would highly recommend her for hair and make up service. Please call her at 4087331888( appointment only). I'm sure you won't regret going to her and will be hooked for ever. read more

I've been going to Vivian for a few years now. I was a walk in appointment. Vivian impressed me right from the start. She knew my hair, growth patterns, problem spots how to work with it. My hair cuts are so comfortable and attractive that I get lots of complements. As my hair grows between visits, the cut stays attractive. I can also style my hair at home without her and it looks good! That's always been the hard part for me. Vivian also colors my hair. I like it dark, but after that, I leave it to her. I love what she does. Thanks Viv! read more

Vivian is no ordinary hair stylist but instead an artist. She'll always get your hair just right and won't settle for anything less. I've been a regular customer for years and it took me a long while to find somebody who can cut a short women's hair this well. Or any other kind of hair too, I'm 100% confident! read more

Vivian is a really good hair cut artist. I've been always visit to here. read more

This review is long overdue for "Art by Vivian." I have been going to Vivian since 2007. Vivian used to work for AK Salon but is now an independent contractor with them. She always does excellent work. I always come away very pleased. I get lots of compliments and questions about the cut and color from my colleagues. I have recommended many of my friends to Vivian. They have all come away very pleased. She is extremely resourceful with makeups too. She has done my makeup for special occasions. She is able to work with East Indian hair and complexion very well. I highly recommend her. She works only by appointment - so call her at 408-733-1888 Delete review read more

I have been seeing Vivian since 2009. Asian hair is very difficult to cut because of the thickness. so when hairdressers mess up it is very noticeable. Vivian ALWAYS gets it right. I go in and tell Vivian that I trust her and let her do whatever she thinks its best and am never disappointed. a couple months ago, her number wasn't working I FREAKED OUT!! thankfully found her on yelp and was able to get the new number. I have never had a stylist who is so particular and honest about hair. i remember the first time she ever cut my hear she was feeling the shape of my head to make she understood every bump and flat spot so that my hair would fall perfectly. she even cuts her own hair and it looks great. If you need a hairdresser/stylist/make up artist, she should be your go-to lady!!!! read more

I've been going to Vivian for 3 years and I've NEVER been disappointed. Plus the scheduling is always easy and she always on time. I highly recommend her! read more

I have taken my daughters (age 9 and 7) to Vivian from when my elder daughter was 8 months old. Vivian is very patient, detail-oriented and a nice person! I can tell that she does not rush, puts great effort to make hair look perfect. My kids love to go to her salon and I enjoy talking with her while my kids' hair is done. I highly recommend Vivian! read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Vivian the last year and a half and have always had an excellent experience. She is careful and meticulous though she completes the hair cut in a timely manner. She is prompt in her timeliness and have never waited longer than a few minutes to get my cut. Best hair stylist I've ever used, highly recommended. read more

I have been going to Vivian for 6 years. I am always impressed with her attention to detail. She does the majority of the cut with scissors and uses the trimmer only for minor cleanup at the end. It gives the haircut a very natural look. She did a great job before my wedding of making my hair look tidy, but not look like I had just gotten a haircut. read more

Vivian has been doing my hair for about. . .7 years now. She is great! Not only is she a great hair stylist but she is also warm, friendly and very customer service oriented. She cares so much about her clients, and truly wants to make them look and feel their best. I always feel great and confident when I leave from getting a hair cut from Vivian because of her attention to detail and her sincerity in ensuring that I like my hair. I have thin, straight-ish hair- and she makes it look full and bouncy! I greatly appreciate her work! read more

Vivian holds herself to a very high standard in every way you might want from your hair stylist. She is skillful in cutting, using deft techniques that make her scissors fly while being very precise. She is creative with your and her ideas about how to do things just a little differently, always considering your hair type and the time you want to spend on styling. Vivian is a master colorist, taking into account your skin tones, natural hair coloring and the affect you want with color. Vivian is friendly and considerate, and I always enjoy being in her care. I've been going to Vivian for cut and style for nearly 8 years. All in all, Vivian is an artist! read more
