It had been challenging to find someone who truly understands how to cut curls. I'm forever thankful I found Suzy and VMA Curls. Suzy really has perfected her artistry with cutting curls and offers great insight on care and styling. I walk out after each visit with a renewed love for my curls. On top of that, she's one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. Her salon feels very welcoming - like you're visiting a good friend. I absolutely recommend Suzy and VMA. Your curls will thank you too. read more

she cut my bangs in a style i hadn't yet agreed to. before i could respond, she had snipped it away and i've had to wait on it to grow to fix it. also she said negative things about immigrants despite being an asian woman from the bronx so there's that read more

I was really excited to have Suzy work on my virgin hair after seeing some of the work she'd done on some of my friends. However, unfortunately I was not a fan of her work on me, specifically the color. When she showed me the result at the salon I was satisfied because it was close to what I had stated I wanted. However, by the evening that same day, my hair was already beginning to turn into this ugly orange color. I contacted her the following day and she was able to see me that same day to apply more toner. However, within a day or two my hair was back to the same ugly orange. I hated it! I regret not contacting her and having it fixed, however, due to my busy work schedule and the fact that I reside San Diego, it would be difficult to keep driving back up especially if the solution was only to apply more toner. My experience was not all negative, however, Suzy is very welcoming and kind, her salon is very cute and clean and she really takes her time and the work did not feel rushed. In summary: Pros: - Suzy is kind and welcoming even when I expressed concerns about the color she quickly booked me for the next day to attempt and fix it at no additional cost (however this was only a temporary solution as my hair went back to the same ugly color within a few days) - cute and clean salon Cons: - limited availability, not very flexible for someone who works full time, when I booked my appt Sept 2021 she had no weekend or evening availability, I think shes only available like 3-4 weekdays not sure if this is something that has changed - pricey for the quality - I ended up paying $500+ for a RezoCut with no wash ($125) and highlights ($350) and some products she recommended ($75) plus the tip. Now, if I loved the work I wouldn't have mind paying that amount but the fact that I paid that much for a look that I ended up hating is very disappointing. Will be hard to trust anyone else with coloring my hair after this experience! As far as the cut, I wasn't very happy with that either, I had gotten a DevaCut before at another salon and preferred the other ladies' work. After getting my hair fixed at another salon they agreed that the work that had been done was not good. Unfortunately, due to this experience I will not be returning. read more

I first learned about Suzy from a virtual Yelp event where she informed us of curly hair care. I have been damaging my naturally wavy hair by blowdrying and flat-ironing it for years. A few months after this Yelp event, my daughter gave me a gift voucher for a hair detox, cut, and touch up hair color. After my first appointment, I WAS SOLD! I wanted to get my hair to a healthy state and to get comfortable wearing my hair wavy. I like that Suzy emphasized it would be a curly hair journey and to stick with it. I am SO GLAD I did! It is now 6 months after my first Rezo cut and use of appropriate hair products; I absolutely LOVE MY WAVES! (I've had a total of 3 haircuts to date.) If you are struggling with your waves or curls, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VMA Curls! Suzy will assess you hair needs and help get your hair healthy again!! read more

Been going to Suzy for 5 years and she always does my hair so perfectly! I only trust her with my curls

Suzie is friendly and welcoming but she did not put in the hair color I wanted. The styling was rushed and not done right! I felt I got a very expensive conditioning treatment! Very disappointed! read more

Suzy is the absolute best! I didn't know how to manage my curls for yearsss and she gave me the confidence, knowledge, and correct cut for my hair. She is also a amazing soul!

Suzy is not perfect. She did a good my first cut but there after her cuts were poor. I had two bad hair cuts with her. The first offense, I chalked it to a bad day so I had to go shorter than I wanted to in order to make the correction. However, the second bad hair cut made me quit Suzy. I had to find another stylist to fix her mistakes. Suzy had created a major shelf and gap in my hair. We went to address her about it but she did not have a good response for why she messed up so bad. She attempted to fix it again but to no avail and we had to stop bc it was getting shorter and shorter. I was trying to grow my hair and obviously was devastated. This haircut she tried to fix it twice. Please note, I waited to write this post; however, I felt it was time to come forward and share with everyone. I have pictures to share as well. Again, Suzy is far from perfect. She was nice up until we had to speak with her about the bad hair cuts. With that said, no she certainly isn't worth $325 plus. In fact no hair stylist should be charging that much. My new stylist has similar training and only chargers $150. Suzy appears to be better with certain curl patterns versus others and per the other low rating patron, 3C and up doesn't seem to be her strong suit. If I had looser curls I'd certainly have her cut my hair bc she seems to have a better handle on wavy hair. One more thing to take note of is that during my cuts with her, she never allowed me to look at the way she cut the back of my hair. She would only allow me to see the front of my hair. I shared this with my new stylist and she said that should not have been happening. The most important part of the hair cut is the back. I hope she has stopped or will stop doing this. We have the right to see all angles of our hair and it's not honest to hide your mishaps from us. read more

Best hair cut I have ever had. Suzy has the best skills. Always grateful for finding her!

I am usually pretty low maintenance with things like my hair, but I do care about my waves/curls standing out with minimal product. It took me a long time to find someone in the Inland Empire who could cut curly hair correctly, and I was fortunate to find Suzy 3 years ago after she started in Grand Terrace. Her cuts and layers bring out the best in your hair's natural texture, and they grow out well (which can be hard to achieve). She has earned a loyal customer through me! read more

I've been going to Suzy for 2 years, and every time I leave her salon I feel like my hair is new, I cannot recommend her enough! Prior to going to Suzy, I had veryyy little confidence in hair stylists due to nothing but bad experiences. I had given up and started cutting my hair for years cause it was at least better than wasting my money on a horrible cut I hated. I got by with this, but when I started wearing my hair curly, I gave myself the CG "big chop" and completely messed up my hair like no other. When Suzy saw me, she listened to everything I wanted, and completely fixed what I had wrecked. I did her full-cut, wash, and style for my first visit and completely loved it, she was so informative and showed me everything I needed to do to style my hair. I've been going to her ever since, and every time she always listens to everything I want, and I walk out with the happiest curls.Not only that, but her salon is so cute and relaxing! The overall vibe is just it! And I always enjoy talking with Suzy, it's always a treat cause she is just amazing through and through! read more

I found Suzy and VMA Curls through a virtual Yelp event late last year, and now I've had my hair cut by her two times! The event focused on curly hair, which surprisingly has not really been a conversation I've been apart of despite having curly hair my whole life. It intrigued me so I joined in. During this event I discovered that there are actually salons that specialize in haircuts for people with curly hair, so despite living in Pasadena, I decided to drive out to San Bernardino to have my hair cut by Suzy. Aside from Suzy's amazing personality, what I loved most is that the cut centers around doing the least amount of work to your curly hair. I'm not one who spends a lot of time on my hair or makeup anymore, so this is definitely a plus for me. This cut made it possible for me to let my hair dry naturally and have it still look cute and curly every time. It included an olaplex treatment, which Suzy recommends leaving in for three days afterwards. Fast forward to two weeks ago: it was less than a week before my rescheduled 2020 graduation ceremony and I hadn't thought to book a haircut anywhere! I called all the places in Pasadena that specialize in curly cuts and ALL of them were completely booked. Then I thought about Suzy and the great cut I had last time, and although it was a drive, I was willing to make it if she was free!! Although she wasn't planning to work on that day, she made an exception because this was such a special occasion for me. Then I realized...*facepalm*...I forgot to schedule a makeup appointment as well! I noticed that VMA Curls also listed makeup services, so I asked Suzy if she'd be okay doing my makeup that day too. She told me she didn't do makeup herself, but that she'd ask another stylist, Abby, if she was free to come in. Again, it was a day Abby wasn't scheduled to work, but she made an exception!! First off, I am so thankful they did this for me, but it made it so much better that I loved the results of both services. I wanted as much of a natural look as possible for my ceremony, and I really pulled it off with these ladies. I can't wait for my next cut! Both ladies are also so generous as well: after my first cut, Suzy gave me a bunch of hair clips for free so I could get started on more natural-looking styling for the least amount of work. After my makeup service, Abby gave me extra powder, an eyebrow brush, lipstick, and lipgloss to touch up as necessary (I told her that I don't have a lot of makeup supplies). They're both so genuinely caring! If you have curly hair, or you're just looking to get a good makeover, do yourself a favor and book a cut or makeup service with VMA Curls!! read more

*edit for update - Suzy contacted me right after my review and apologized that she didn't see my messages on FB or email. We scheduled another visit to make some changes. Still not perfect but much better. I didn't want to have to cut it too short to get the shape I want so I'll return later once it grows out more. Thank you Suzy for being a great person and working with me. I wanted to love VMA Curls so much, but I'm a bit disappointed. I was gifted a consult and cut with Suzy from my mom for Xmas since it's so expensive. The scheduling process was really easy and Suzy is super friendly and kind. The salon is great and her personal touches are wonderful. While I did learn a few things from Suzy, which I greatly appreciate, I feel like 45min was so fast for $275 consult and cut. But my biggest issue is I specifically discussed how my lower curls are a lot tighter than my top curls. I was getting 12-14 inches cut, so I wanted to be clear how the curls change once the weight is taken off my hair. Suzy said it's normal to have different curls textures, but then ended up cutting my hair at the same length across the back, making my lower half curl under the top half once it dries. Because of the curling technique she did in the salon (finger twirls), this wasn't apparent at the end of the appointment, only once I washed at home a few days later and let my natural curl re-appear. I've tried reaching out to her via FB messenger and email asking if we could re-connect so I can get it corrected, but no answer. I really was looking forward to this experience, but I ended up just getting another cut I have to live with until it grows out. I'm sad, but with curly hair I've learned to just deal with what I get. Thought this would be different... read more

Im so glad to find an excellent curly hair specialist in the I.E. Suzy is very welcoming and very knowledgeable in hair. She knew how to manage and cut my hair without losing much length. My hair looks and feel amazing. I highly recommend her! read more

I've been trusting Suzy to cut my hair for a couple years now and each time I'm happy with the results. I've been through my awful hair cut experiences having 3A type curls with no one else but Suzy truly knowing what they're doing. I will be a loyal client to Suzy for as long as I am able :) She is also a very friendly person who I look forward to catching up with doing my appointments! read more

It's like it gets better every time. My second visit to Suzy, my hair so healthy especially after my second Olaplex treatment. I went full head color this time and I couldn't be more obsessed! (Peep the pics) She did not use any bleach each time she died my hair, which is a big plus for me considering all the years I've damaged my hair due to bleach. Suzy is always very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating every time I come in. Masks were kept on during the entire service, and other stylists were spaced out and separated by clear barriers. If another client is finishing up, the shop asks that you wait outside until you are the only person the stylist is dealing with. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Suzy, and I can't wait to continue my hair journey with her! read more

I took 6 freeways and crossed two counties to get here but it was definitely worth it! It's HARD to find a stylist that knows how to cut curly hair which is why VMA Curls was worth the trek. I found out about VMA Curls through a virtual Yelp Event and was impressed and had all kinds of questions and Suzy answered all of them. It's been a struggle to get back to my once long curly hair and I've looked at all the You Tubers for guidance, but Suzy had great advice that made sense for my hair type (not every curl is the same). I'm still figuring out my new curls and Suzy has helped with answering my questions both in person and via social media/text. Suzy is a certified in the Rezo haircut (look it up) and I was afraid I wouldn't get the same results because my hair is not thick at all, but she did it! I was open to cutting as much that needed to be cut in order to get better curls which meant going a little shorter but I was fine with this and my family was really impressed with the new cut. I'm usually in the chair for at least an hour and a half to two and a half hours, which includes blow drying and straightening my hair so the stylist can cut it, but with the Rezo cut Suzy cut my hair dry with no product in it, gave me a deep condition, hair dried my hair and styled it in about 45 minutes which is a record! If you have curly hair it's like hitting the jackpot when you find someone that knows how to cut and style your curls. I definitely recommend Suzy and will do the 6 freeway trek back to Loma Linda (never been here in my life other than to see Suzy) in a few months for a cut and color (there's a whole story on coloring curly hair, ask Suzy). read more

This is your sign to invest in you and your curls -- and to choose Suzy & VMA Curls to do it!! She immediately made me feel comfortable from the start and I know that's half the battle when finding a new hair stylist. I really love her philosophy about simplifying the curl process and how she incorporates products that are vegan and water soluble. I struggle with loving my curls (as most women do) and when she did the big reveal of my haircut, I almost cried because I was blown away by her work. The best part?? She taught me how to do it on my own and educated me on how to care for my own hair. Thank you Suzy for your incredible work! I can't wait to be back! read more

Suzy is wonderful! I have wavy hair and have had a heck of a time figuring out what works for it. Suzy nailed it and I left her salon with the bounciest waves and cutest cut. This was my first session and she listened to my current products and routine, what my hair goals are, and then talked through a cut that would work best for me. She talked through what she was doing and why every step of the way - not once was I confused about what she was doing or why she had chosen a specific product. We went over what my hair needed and didn't, and she wound up totally simplifying my products and my routine! To add to all that she's just such a warm-hearted, kind, and fun person. I immediately felt comfortable and her salon is super cute! I left armed with so much knowledge and feeling really good about being able to style my hair like she did. I can't wait to go back! read more

After taking out my knotless braids, I had a slight debacle that left a good chunk of my hair matted and locked up past the point of saving! I was very scared because I had never cut my hair short before and was terrified of the thought of a short curly bowl cut :( luckily, I came to Ms. Suzy and she got me right! We ended up going with a wolf cut and I love it. Ms. Suzy took a dried up lemon and made the most perfect glass of lemonade! My curls look (and feel) healthy and I feel confident - what more can you ask for? I didn't even know my curls could look so cute! Thank you so much for saving the day, Suzy! read more

I Prayed & God sent me Suzi ! Suzi was gifted with hands of pure gold . Walking in I immediately knew with The Ora & warm greeting that I found the ! And her being a woman of Faith just made it a HUGE BONUS. I was looking for a style NOT a 1" trim As I would ALWAYS have to say to any Salon I visited. Completely ignore ( as you'll always have a hater looking to get their $$$ back ) Suzi on a bad day couldn't give a bad cut if she tried ! Money well spent & like the saying goes You get what You pay for . And when You take into account Your NOT being recommended to go back in 4-6 wks @ any where from $30 & up it breaks down to a savings. I hadn't had a style in well over 10+ yrs ‍ trims at 1-2" yes but NOT A Style. My hair was to the beginning of my buttie & had her take it to my arm pit. The layering, angled cutting skills , her speed( that's called talent) , my Amazing new style & her Beautiful presence was $$$ well spent. DEFINITELY GOING BACK THANK YOU SUZI ! GodSpeed ! read more
