I have been going for close to 10 years to Tran for hair cut and I am satisfied every time I come. I started coming here when I was living in Fremont but now I live in San Ramon, but I still come here. Tran knows what he is doing. He is great at doing any kind of hair cuts especially layer styles and bangs. I have a wonderful experience everytime I come here. 100% customer satisfaction. Keep it going, Tran! read more

I have been coming here for over five years . KC is the best!! She does amazing job to make your hair gorgeous. She listens to her clients, and she give them honest advice. Also she has a great attitude. She cares very much about her clients. THANKS KC!! YOU ARE THE BEST!! read more

KC is an Excellent hair stylist and a master at highlighting and color. She's willing to work around your schedule

Had a great experience with KC! I called to book a haircut appointment, and she was super friendly. She asked me to text her some examples of haircuts I might want before our appointment so that she could have an idea of what I was looking for. Day of, she welcomed me warmly and gave me a nice shampoo with a little head massage (which is hard to get here in the US!). During the cut, she chatted with me and was really easy to talk to. I felt like I had known her forever already! She gave me specific instructions on how I should blow dry and recommended a hair product I should use. She said she sold it too but told me to check Amazon first to see if I could get it there for cheaper! I think this really shows that she's not in this to just make some cash, but that she cares and wants her clients to be happy. I will definitely come back to her for my next haircut! FYI she takes cash or check only! read more

This review is for Tran, who's been cutting my hair for the last couple of years. I have thick, curly/wavy hair and it is hard to find a stylist who knows how to handle it. I was so relieved when I found Tran! Prices are very reasonable, which is also a plus. (He used to be in a salon that was across the parking lot, but had to move when that unit had structural damage) read more

From all the places I've gone to to cut or dye my hair the outcome is nothing compared to this place! KC was my stylist and all I did was show her an old picture on my phone and from that she did her thing! I was kind of nervous at first but in the end I'm glad I trusted her because it was the best hair job I've ever gotten! Definitely will come back and bring friends for their hair needs!! Also everyone in there is so friendly and welcoming, thank you all :) read more

Exactly the hair cut I requested and wanted. Thank you Miriam! Will definitely return for your expertise

I have been coming here for years. My exgirlfriend referred me to this place. I am sure she has moved on, she always thought she was too good. :-) Ok... back to the review. KC is great! She makes me feel like the bald spots are actually shrinking. KC is the owner, she has a nice mix of different ethnic hair stylist. Very representative of the city of Newark. Fair prices, good service, and good conversation. Plus KC hasn't aged a day. Ok... I am fishing for a free cut. But... really she hasn't. :-) Enjoy read more

Mariam is the best hairstylist! I have been going to her for YEARS (6 to be exact)! Never have i left the salon thinking that she has messed up my hair or cut it in an unflattering way. She is so fast! I'm in and out of the salon within 15 mins! I literally have recommended her to all my family and friends and no one is ever disappointed! If that isn't saying enough my aunts from Texas and a friend who moved to Canada will wait months if they have to, but will only get their hair cut by Mariam! Thank you for being the best! read more

My family followed our go to gal Miriam here from another salon. Miriam is AWESOME! My husband has been going to her FOREVER - she even "manscapes" all his facial hair which he appreciates! She cuts my hair and our kids hair as well and we've always been thrilled! I decided to try highlights in my hair for the first time this year and LOVE it! I've gone from short to long, layered and not - I tend to get bored easily and Miriam is always up for the challenge and has never let me down. She's reasonably priced and SUPER nice - what more could you ask for :) read more

KC is amazing. Love how she does my hair. I haven't been there for years since I moved from Newark. I seriously need someone like KC to work miracles on my hair. Much needed. Looking forward starting the New Year with new hair duo. read more

Miriam is amazing. I have been going to her for about 12 years now. I had a bad experience with a hair cut by someone else when I strayed from her once but I will never make that mistake again! So I am very picky and not to mention sensitive when it comes to my hair. I will always follow her wherever she goes! I'm glad this is her current location though - I love this salon. Everyone else is so nice and welcoming, even though you aren't there to see them. The place is incredibly clean and inviting. I love the little touches of decor around the stations and they also decorate for the different holidays which is cute. I recommend this place to all my friends and family when they ask who keeps my hair looking so fab. ;) read more

They are open 10-7 Tuesday through Saturday! My office is in the plaza, and just a few doors down, and I really wanted a change... After seeing the awesome reviews of KC, and meeting her and Joel. I opted to get my 8 inch hair cut, and go for something short, fun and spunky. and KC definitely did the job. Cuts for women start at $25. and they do same day appointments too! :) read more

Really pleased with my haircut..Miriam really listened and did a wonderful job of giving me a layered haircut. Highly recommend Miriam..also appreciated that she took care of the covid precautions! read more

African American Stylist!! Shop is clean and staff are friendly, clearly long time clients keep coming back. I am African American and I've had my hair relaxed, cut and also transitioned to Natural Curly Hair with Toya Lemu as my beautician. She always listens to what I want and then advises before cutting/styling. She really does not like to cut the length at all and I have to keep telling her to cut it. What I love about her is that she is FAST and gets me out of there in less than an hour. AMAZING time management which for African American ladies is not usually the case. I'm used to being held hostage at the Salon but not with Toya. I show her pictures and she delivers as close as she can given the condition of my hair. So nice to have a place to go in the Fremont area. As for price its standard and worth every penny considering close location and the fact that I'm not there half the day and the cut/style looks good. read more

World Hair Design - Natural Hair after transitioning from relaxer- cut by Toya - Hair Salons Near Me - Newark, California

See all

I have been going to KC for years and years. Not only is this a great shop where I leave EVERY TIME with a great cut but I feel welcomed as a friend, not just a client. All the ladies in there acknowledge and greet me even though KC is the one who cuts my hair. So much more than the production line places in the mall. Local owned and operated by someone who cares. read more

Absolutely amazing. I heard of World Hair Design from a good friend and set up an appointment with Joel to dye/bleach my hair for the first time. Words cannot describe how amazing the results were. Joel worked hours to get the style correctly. His helpful suggestions allowed me to pick the best color, and he even spent extra time re-coloring when I wanted a darker color. My friends were all impressed. Definitely worth the money. (Attached picture of result with what I asked for on the right: https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/576341_3957955356516_2075221472_n.jpg) read more

My fam and I have been going to KC for YEARS and she is the layer queen!!!! She never disappoints. KC girl, I just wish you accepted card.. I hardly ever carry cash. read more

I need to change my hair color, I wasn't to happy with it, i had highlights that got lost and I looked almost blond. Went to Miriam for first time and magic happen, she really knows what she is doing. It love my new look. Thank you Miriam. read more

This review is 2 decades overdue. KC is just as fabulous as she was when I was 20. I've popped in here sporadically through the years due to multiple moves. I've also been loyal to a couple other stylists who work out of fancy salons that are now too far for me to trek out to on the regular after 2 kids. KC was the one who saved my hair after my experience at the now closed new Image Salon -see my review from 2006. My brother's wedding and grays that a mascara wand could no longer cover brought me in here last minute. KC did exactly what I wanted, a root touchup and lots of layers. KC is super responsive and easy to book on text. When you call the salon and the voicemail says to text her, do just that. The salon is no frills-don't expect anything fancy but damn that shampoo/head scratch is worth more than that offer for a glass of champagne/ green tea/ sparkling water etc. ten times over. read more

Miriam is the BEST EVER! I have been going to her for haircuts and highlights/color for over 20 years! She is the ONLY person that can cut my hair the way I like it (I think she is the only left on the planet that can layer hair!!) She is also the only person that I have gone to that can get my hair to lift as light as I want it. She is the best!! I have lived in Fremont, Brentwood and now San Ramon and I will still drive to Newark to have Miriam do my hair (she also does my daughter's hair now too!). :) read more

I have been coming to KC for a long time now. KC is the owner of the salon. For a moment, her salon was closed down and I went else where and stayed with that stylist, but then recently returned to have KC cut my hair. She does an excellent job and I will probably keep coming to her. She is also very friendly and so is everyone who works there. She actually listens to what you say when you want to keep the length of your hair but touch up the layers. I have never been disappointed with a haircut that she had given me. She styles the hair for you after too. IF you want a shampoo and wash then you do have to pay more. Her prices very from $28 and up for women and I think $18 and up for men. My husband has also started to go to her for his hair cuts and was satisfied with the hair cut as well. read more

When it comes to my hair, I don't just go to anyone. I have had some pretty traumatic haircut experiences, and hold a very high bar when it comes to stylists. I was in need of finding a salon, close to my house and was referred to KC by a friend. I must admit, at first I was hesitant and had doubt from the second I walked in, and even told her that! She did GREAT!!! She definitely surpassed my expectations, plus more! She is, by far, the BEST hair stylist I have EVER had! I cannot get enough of this girl! She has the best personality and is EXCELLENT at her work! She's completely honest with you about your hair, which I LOVE! I know I can trust her with my hair and I will not hesitate to send everyone I know her way! If you are in need of a great hair stylist, KC is your girl! Believe me, she will NOT disappoint! read more

Monique-today April 16th I had a hair apt with Toys to get my hair washed, cut and styled and she did an amazing job. As a first time customer coming from Orlando,Fl it was very important for me to find a stylist I could trust and i think I've found it in Toya. She made me feel very comfortable to trust my hair with a new stylist. Before leaving I set another appointment. That tells you how satisfied I was with the service and talent. read more

Mariam is the best! So nice and listens to you. If she thinks something won't work right for your hair, she will discuss and offer her opinions. read more

I've been going to KC for over 8 years now. She's awesome. Gives a great head massage during the wash too!

This place rates five stars for me because I found my long time stylist Miriam had hung her hat over here starting in July 2013. The atmosphere is open and Zen like and very relaxing which adds to a very pleasant experience which is always what a hair salon visit should be. Miriam is the best! read more

I've been a regular customer of Miriam's for a long time now and she is awesome. She is very knowledgeable and knows exactly what to do with my curly hair and my highlights always look great. My daughters also go to her now for cuts, ombré, and hair color. She's great at advising what works and what might be very damaging or work wonderfully. None of us will let anyone else touch their hair. I've been seeing her at this salon since she joined a few years ago now and have observed that the other stylists also leave their clients looking great and are also very knowledgeable. You can't go wrong with this salon. read more
