Tina no longer works here. I goto Mindy now. Who cuts my hair perfectly in the faded Asian hair…read morethat sticks up like a microphone. Sounds funny, but eh, at least I don't have the mushroom top head look. My thick hair and the cut I want is not an easy hair cut to do. The description sounds funny, but with gel it's a clean military look or akin to school kids going to grade school. Not my thing but, the maturity aura can be fixed with longer hair on top. Believe the best way to say is it that I have a heart shaped face. That means the top of my hair should look like an egg to my preference. The haircut I want isn't for the faint. Mess up and you cannot fix it. It's why most fades on my hair type sticks out and is not flat on the sides like a flat top. Once Mindy understood I was willing to take the risk, I was rewarded in something that many hairdressers cannot cut and or is willing to do. Which is to fade free hand, then rat tail comb fade the edges on top with a clipper and texture with scissors. Mind you I watched a long time before giving her the go ahead to take the risk. Sounds a lot of work right? Hair dressers will complain doing this type of cut. It's a lot of work, will take time. Mindy does this for me. And for that I tip well. To be fair, I get my hair cut once a month. But it's usually the best way to learn as the hair has grown out and everything needs to be redone again. Note. Tip what you can, I usually tip hourly wage max to half. Mindy gets more, that's how much I like the cut. 15 to 25 percent minimum wage is a good tip. That being said Mindy takes time, is patient, and remembers you. Everything you would want in a hairdresser. I really should come every two weeks but I got things to do. Mindy does textbook style hair cutting. Which doesn't work with my hair cause you don't really expect an Asian with an Afro like hair type, thick, and straight. Takes time to learn cultured hair types. My hair is a rarity. Mindy learned quickly how to cut and tame it. Qualities of a true hair dresser. Note. I got my hair cut by Lynn too. She's good, but she's busy and I believe she understands my haircut and hair is annoying to do. The guy and new girl are good too. Just a preference and patience to be had.

I know you've probably seen plenty of posts about her, but there's a reason everyone talks about…read moreLynn -- she is truly the queen of color. Show her a photo of the look you want, and she'll bring it to life with precision and artistry. I originally went in just to recolor my hair, and she suggested adding highlights. Yes, it was a little extra, but her pricing is incredibly reasonable -- and the results were worth every penny. I couldn't be happier. You'll see in the photos how the color shifts beautifully depending on the light. That's Lynn's talent: dimension, detail, and pure skill. I absolutely love her work and her eye for perfection. If you're thinking about a color refresh, you won't regret trusting Lynn's expertise.

I called Friday for two Saturday haircut appointments and they scheduled me right away. I don't think they have a website or socials so just give them a call to schedule. We showed up and waited a couple minutes for them to finish their previous appointments, it was really busy! There's about 6 chairs for those to wait in, and 6 stations where they were cutting hair. I was seated with Angie, showed her an inspo picture and she gave me exactly what I wanted, a trim and quick style. After seeing the final results, due to my hair type she recommended trying a new style/cut and I was in the mood to try something new so she went out of her way to re-cut and style my hair. She showed me two styling options and was very patient even though she basically had to redo my hair. She said they also do pre-event styling so if you have an event where you want your hair to look a little nicer, you can schedule with them starting at $45+. But I left feeling confident and ready to go out even just with the cut I received In total we paid $65 for two haircuts (no washing, just trim and styling) which is a steal in my opinion! They do men's and children's haircuts as well, we saw a variety of patrons on a Saturday. Overall, I highly recommend Modern Beauty for their outstanding service and prices!

I didn't have an appointment and just walked in on a Friday afternoon, but they greeted me right away and got me seated quickly, which I really appreciated. I was happy to see Kevin again since he did such an amazing job on my haircut last year -- and once again, he did not disappoint! I asked for the same style as before: curtain bangs to frame my face and layered cuts. I even showed him photos of the haircut he gave me last time, and he was able to recreate it perfectly with very minimal instructions. Kevin is very detailed and friendly, and he made sure throughout the appointment that everything looked the way I wanted. After the cut, he worked his magic and styled my hair beautifully.

Con's: Price keeps changing every time I go. $45, $55, $65, $95. I always do same thing; root color, blow out and sometimes cut or trim. The guy with the silver hair isn't consistent w/cut. First time he cut long layers on my thick one length hair. He kind of missed the top, I had someone else correct it. The 2nd time I went in just for a trim and root color. He couldn't follow the long layer patrern, It's so choppy and the layers do not flow. Then he also thinned my hair out. I don't ask to have it thinned out. He then charged me $95 for roots color, bad choppy trim and a blow out. I paid $100 in San Mateo to fix his choppy hair cut. I can't go back again unless it's just to color roots and blow out.

I'm very hesitant when it comes to trying new salons because of past experiences but I'm glad I chose Wisdom. I came in for a simple trim/clean up and I left fully satisfied and pleased with the outcome. I was serviced by Ivy and she's definitely someone you can trust with a pair of scissors. Very easy to communicate with and overall will give you what you ask for. I will definitely be returning here in the future and I would recommend this place to anyone.

Saria made me feel very welcome as a new client and did an amazing job! I came in with bright reddish, frizzy hair in need of a lot of care. She transformed it the cooler tone I'd been wanting to achieve. Then she did a Brazilian blowout that I'm so glad I tried for the first time. I'm a week into my treatment and it was absolutely worth the investment. To top it off, I got bangs that are absolutely beautiful. I can't believe I could feel this great about my own hair. Saria absolutely knows what she is doing and is a total gem. Highly recommend! read more

Ken and Kat are both amazing. Ken takes care of my mom, and Kat takes care of me and my very specific teen, which honestly says everything. She just gets it. Whether it's color or a cut, I can sit down, explain what I'm thinking, and know it's going to come out right. That kind of trust is not easy to find. One of my favorite parts though is the shampoo, which sounds small but it's not here. The back room is super quiet and relaxing, and Kat has the best head massage technique where you're sitting there thinking please don't stop yet. It turns into this whole moment instead of just part of the appointment, especially when you walk in a little stressed and walk out feeling reset. Everything is always clean, nothing feels rushed, and the whole space just has this calm energy that makes you actually enjoy being there, not just checking it off your list. I would give it 5 stars if the chairs were more comfortable. Helpful tip: Give yourself a little extra time and don't rush out. The shampoo and overall vibe here are part of what make this place so good. It's one of those spots where you go in for hair, but you leave feeling better overall, and that's why I keep coming back.
