I was curious of why he gets so many great reviews and hopeful at the same time. He was amazing. I've never seen hands move so fast And so accurately before in my life. There was almost no weight to get my haircut and it was cut in record time and it actually came out better than I thought and it looks awesome. He was a very pleasant person to chat with a little bit and he's very safe by making sure that he's got his mask on while he's working because he's in contact with a lot of people through the day. I would definitely recommend this place to people that needed a haircut in the area.

He's a true gentleman, soft spoken, and can still cut hair PERFECTLY. Mimi is SUPER TALENTED. CREATIVE. DETAIL ORIENTED. She shaves the hair on my ears with surgical precision. She has given me the best haircut I've ever had (and I lived in NYC for 45 years). Traditional barber shops rock.

I would take honesty and quality out of the vocabulary for this barbershop. My father has been…read moreconstant customer for Jerry's but it took two bad visits to end the relationship. First, my father's request for a haircut wasn't what he wanted. He was serviced by Mimi, but my father noticed some parts of the hair was longer than other parts. He then returned to Jerry's , told Jerry the problem, and Jerry gave him a refund but no apology. Second, my dad went for another haircut and he got cut in the back of his head twice. He was only given a little dash of alcohol to cover the mistakes and was sent on his way. When my father arrived to his home, he was shocked at how deep and bloody the cut was when he looked on the mirror. He decided to take his business elsewhere. I'm writing this because it's deeply upsetting that a long time barbershop would not be empathetic, admit their mistakes and apologize. This damages the customer seller relationship and it's pretty disappointing. I would not recommend this business.

So, I love Eric and this new (for me) salon…read more I was looking for a new stylist closer to home, and had tried a different stylist (not Eric!). Let us just say I received a very unflattering cut, and couldn't even figure out what went wrong. I just knew every morning, I would try to make it presentable, struggle with flat irons, curling irons, round brushes and blow dryers just to have it poof out at odd angles and look frizzy and unhealthy. I was so frustrated, so I once again turned to yelp, and discovered all the rave reviews for Eric and booked an appointment online. Wow...what a difference! His salon is clean, well-designed, and has that high-end look. Eric himself is stylish and friendly. I tried to explain that the haircut I had just gotten was wrong, but I had trouble articulating what was wrong, or what I needed. Never fear, Eric totally seemed to know what was wrong and what was needed to make my hair beautiful again. He gave me a precision, fantastic cut, that has movement that I haven't had in years. I consider him a miracle worker. I have not been as happy and satisfied with a stylist in many, many years. I have had many, many compliments on my new haircut, and even referred one of my co-workers. Thank you Eric!

He looks like he got an army cut essentially. Based on the positive reviews it seems like people go here for the ambiance, which to him wasn't worth the price or the lackluster cut. We both usually go to the person who has cut my hair for a long time (I've reviewed her, she's in a room in Sola Salons and charges about $15 less even for complicated women's cuts like mine). Unfortunately for him she is out of town and he needed his hair cut for a nice dinner. Wish he was going to look better for it!

I'm a red-headed curly guy who wears his hair relatively long and appreciates how hard it is to find someone who can work with curly hair.

Great location on Solano where you'll have no problem finding parking. And yes, it's a 'family' place where I know friends and family in the area young and old that all get their haircut by Ly.

I will be a loyal customer as long as I have hair to cut (which, sadly, won't be much longer). I've said it before and I'll say it again: she does accept walk-ins when she can, but it's best to make an appointment because she gets busy. I would send all of my friends to her if I had any, but enough about me and my sad, lonely and nearly bald life. Another 5 stars for Ly and Family Hair Care!
