I haven't been to Annie's since Covid which was years ago. But I really needed a haircut other than my buzz cut done with a dog clipper. Annie recognized me right away and she cut my hair to my specifications. It turned out great and she even gave me a calendar. I'm so glad she was still in business and I hope she continues to stay in business for years to come. She is inexpensive and does quality cuts. read more

Great little neighborhood gem! I have been going there for nearly 10 years. Annie, originally from China, is very skilled and kind. She always does a great job for both my son and me. She also enjoys partaking in conversation. Don't expect a modern and luxurious setting but a warm and welcoming salon with a great hairstylist. Prices are also very competitive for the service that you receive. We need more of these types of neighborhood mom-and-pop small shops! read more

See all

Annie does an excellent job cutting your hair the way you want it. She can style haircuts for bit women and men.

I had a great haircut from Annie, and her service and friendliness are both top tier. She asked me what I wanted and made sure to help me make the right choices for my hair. This place is right near my house so it's super convenient and it is walk-in so I didn't have to make an appointment and just called ahead to make sure she was free at that time. She also only takes cash so make sure you bring some to pay for you cut! My hair looks good and I feel good supporting this small local business! read more

Annie's Hairstyling is the best! I've been going here since I moved into the neighborhood a few years ago and have been consistently happy with the results. Annie is friendly and funny to talk with, but she will also leave you be if you're not in the mood to chat. There's a good reason she's been doing this for 30+ years-- she knows how to treat people right, and she knows how to cut hair. As a guy with a pretty simple hairstyle, I assume it's easy for Annie to cut which is why I'm focusing on her friendly demeanor. But I also took both of my kids here for their very first haircuts, and she handled them expertly as well. It's not easy to cut the fine hair of a wriggling 1 year old baby boy! The wait is never very long, and her price is comparable or less than any typical hairstyling salon. FYI: --She only takes cash; no cards. --And because she works alone, she keeps the front door locked; so just knock or wait a minute if she's in the middle of a cut. --Ask her about her ballroom dancing hobby! read more

This was my first professional haircut since COVID closures. It was nice to have someone else fix my hair after all the attempts at a DIY haircut. Annie is fast, friendly and affordable, I highly recommend her services. read more

I love Annie. She is not only an awesome lady but has wonderful & funny stories to keep you entertained. I got my haircut, touch up, and style today. Not only do I love everything about today's appointment with Annie, I look at least ten years younger. Great feeling to treat yourself to something nice... I highly recommend it. read more

I've been going to Annie for haircuts for several years now. There's a lot to like about her and her business: she's conveniently located close to my home and gives a good haircut, all for a very modest $12. Annie is also unfailingly friendly--a pleasure to chat with while you receive a clipping. Helluva nice lady, Annie is. The physical space is nothing fancy, but that's not important to me. A good haircut at a good price is, and that's what I always get. Viva Annie! read more

So let me be the first to say that I've been going to Annie's for almost 20 years now and wouldn't want anyone else to cut my hair!! She's super friendly and does a great job no matter what I want to have done. I mean it's gotten to the point where I don't even say anything about how I would like my haircut anymore. I just get in the chair and let her do her thing and we just conversate about anything and everything. Mostly family and life, but that's what makes going to her so cool! Her shop is definitely easy to find and conveniently located in the Laurel District which seems to be thriving as of late. Besides all that....how can you complain about a haircut for only $12 that always comes out just the way you want!!! read more

I used to drive by this place all the time until one day I decided to just go for it and get my hair cut here. I was in desperate need of a trim, but I'm just not comfortable in a chain hair-cutting place. Apparently, this became a theraputic experience for me. Annie is quick and does a better job than I do with my own hair- but more than the cut, I loved being part of the little community that she creates in the space - I've never felt left out even if the language was different because the usual topics of men and relationships are usually pretty universal :) The people that come in are all pretty cool and range in age and gender. read more

Annie's salon is amazing. Fantastic hair cuts for a very reasonable price. Annie is a delightful person and a great conversationalist. She is funny and kind and I feel like I'm at home here. She's the best - check her out! read more

We love Annie!!! She cuts both of my daughters hair on a regular basis and does a beautiful job with both of them :-) highly recommend... My only complaint is that she doesn't take appointments and it's walking only... But luckily it's close to our house so that's not too difficult to accomplish. read more

The best haircut shop I ever went!!! She take her time to cut ur hair not like some haircut spot cut hella fast . Recommend people to go there. read more

I've been coming here for over 20 years. She's like your own neighborhood barber. ( But a lady ) I walk in and don't even need to tell her what I want done. She just goes to work. Sometimes it gets busy as she works alone and if there's a bunch of ladies getting perms ahead of you, it's going to be a long wait. It's about $12 right now for a general haircut. $5 extra to have her wash/shampoo after. Careful when parking outside as there is street sweeping. PS. Her door is always locked ( to keep panhandlers away ) So just walk up an knock and she or someone will let you in. read more

I've been going to Annie's for haircuts since high school. I've spent countless hours sitting in her modest shop with the ever present granny under the hairdryer, getting ready for proms, first dates, job interviews, and even my wedding! Its funny to think about how our conversations have changed. From girl problems and pimples to raising kids. Annie is pretty much family. My two daughters get their haircuts from Annie now, which is a trip. We wave to her every time we pass her shop on 35th Ave. My 20 year high school reunion is coming up and I keep hearing how I look exactly the same as I did in high school. I think that's partly because I've been going to Annie the whole time. I'm not a good lookin guy but my hair always looks good (except for that stretch when I lived in LA) thanks to Annie. I don't think her prices have changed in all that time either. read more

I have been getting my haircut here for the past year and am always very satisfied with the result. Annie is very sweet, works quickly, and just does an all around great job! read more

I usually get my awesome haircut for $6-8 in San Jose until I recently moved back to Oakland with my family. I am still searching for a decent hair salon. I came here for a fade, 0 bottom, 6 on top and a medium fade. Result = not good at all. First off, I dont think she knows how to do a fade whatsoever. My hair litterally came out "zero" at the bottom and a "6" on top with no noticeable transition; almost like a mushroom. I had to go home and use my own razor to fix it. I couldn't help to watch her technique of using a "0" razor to carve out a fade style looking effect. While sitting in the chair frighten, that's when I knew it was going to be a horrible day. It's Halloween, and wanted a decent haircut to go out later tonight. Now, I will be less confident drinking my Sam Adams on tap while looking at the pretty brunette across the room. God, I love Sam Adams and fish tacos. Tacos rules. I was charged $13 plus I left tip. $15 total and leaving the place extremely disappointed. I will never return. read more

I went to Annie for the first time and was pleased with the experience. Annie herself is pleasant and talkative, and if you're looking for a straight-forward haircut she does a good job. With Annie, I'd say to get a bit more than what you pay for. read more

I must say, I myself along with my two son's first came across Annie back in the the early 90's. My son's wouldn't let anyone else cut their hair only Annie had the right....Now that they are grown up, they moved on...But here I am after all these years i am a faithful client even though I branched off sometimes I always went back to Annie, She would always know when someone else cut my hair, she would fuss at me gently then after we would laugh...Annie has very reasonable prices and a nice person to know. I am so very happy to have Annie in my HAIR! read more

When I get my hair cut I like to go to someone that has cut my hair before and I feel comfortable knowing they will do an excellent job. I had driven past Annie's numerous times. My friend got his hair cut at Annie's and asked me to go with him one day, I needed a cut like soon. I made up my usual excuses not to go. None of my excuses worked and 10 minutes later I was in the chair getting a cut by Annie. Will I return? Yes, I got a great cut my friend treated me and I look great. No more excuses I will go back Annie definitely is a good stylist and the price is very reasonable. read more
