I always get nervous thinking about change. I don't do so well with change. This year I've undergone change after change in every aspect of my life. So deciding to cut my hair is always a long process. After reading reviews I decided to take a leap of faith and cut my hair to finally give my hair a break from all the split ends. This placed made me feel comfortable & welcomed. I was received with friendly service and staff supporting me in deciding how short I would like my hair to be trimmed. After I explained my desires for a spring haircut, I must say I'm so satisfied with my new look. My hair feels so health and the shine from the haircut is worth the trip.

My first time dying my hair! I asked Rocio to do what she thought would look nice on me and she did a balayage. It looks great! I receive compliments all the time! :) thank you!!! read more

I loved coming here! I recommend 100%. I was very scared to dye my hair since it was the first time ever dying it and she did an amazing job. Roció kept checking in on me during the whole time I was there. Throughout the entire process I felt reassured and educated on what she was doing.

Catalina's - Worst haircut ever!! So uneven and choppy!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Richmond, California

Catalina self cut's terrible. There is another elder women, don't know her name, she is doing good job. Twice had hair cut by Catalina, who is the owner, horrible cut. Never ever in my life had so bad hair cut experience. read more

I called Catalinas at 10am looking to get booked that day I know very last minute don't advise that but I don't have any time throughout the next couple days and I have a birthday coming up and want to look my best They took me in my touch up was quick and everyone was very sweet and personable I recommend them read more

I've been coming here for years every 3-5 months only for hair cuts because I don't dye my hair. The last 3 times I came they made me wait over 30 mins passed my appointment which is very annoying. Catalina and Rocio cut my hair very nice and it grows but when you make an appointment you shouldn't have to wait over 30 minutes. Currently been waiting for 33 mins and it's going to be the last time I come. Meh.. read more

Hadn't had a haircut by a professional in over a year-usually I cut it myself because I'm not happy with what the stylist did, and I don't like spending too much money to feel not satisfied. Gave Catalina a chance after seeing her great Yelp reviews, and was not disappointed. They got me in the same day (though were very busy so I had to wait a bit), she was quick and great! I didn't even really have a firm idea of what I wanted but she helped me to figure out what would look good. I haven't had a haircut this good in years, and considering the price, was very happy. Will definitely be back. read more

Love this place! I discovered the salon a few months back when I needed color correction... Catalina is amazingly knowledged and so is her staff not only in color but in texture and how to get your hair back to healthy! She also offers sulfate free shampoo and conditioner so don't be shy to ask... my next venture as soon as my hair color gets to where she's getting it, is keratin silk treatments! Cannot wait! Here are my recent headshots after Ofelia shampoos, dried and flat ironed my hair! read more

I went in the same day I called for an appointment. I got highlights for the first time and fell in love with my hair again. Definitely thinking about going back to get my hair cut (a different salon messed it up causing damage and broken ends ugh). I love how I was able to show them pictures of how I wanted the highlights to be. They were very educational too. Since I've had chemicals in my hair, they suggested that I not get it bleached but something less aggressive. I appreciated their honesty and I don't know why I haven't been back yet! Great place. Just hard to find parking... read more

I was drawn in because of the price. But it was not a good experience. She rushed my hair because she had another client waiting. Choppy layers and she was really rough. Never coming back. read more

Catalina's - I simply asked for my hair to be layered and this is what I get. Rough and a crappy job. Never again! - Hair Salons Near Me - Richmond, California

Took my daughter here for her first hair cut. Staff was polite and welcoming. I made an appointment, we arrived early and the stylist was able to start before our time which was great. The place is clean and up to date. My daughter loved her hair cut so it was a great experience. Definitely will be coming back so we both can get our hair done read more

Catalina n her daughter r amazing!! Had my touch up done couple months ago, this time I decided to redo the whole process, from whole blonde to ombré. Catalina is so professional n she worked on all the details too! read more

I've been having my hair cut and colored here for about 5 years. They can be hit and miss. Sometimes the cut is fabulous, other times, so-so, and on occasion, they miss. That being said, the prices are very reasonable and I've had terrible cuts at high priced salons, so everyone has an off day. I've made my peace with this reality, but I realize not everyone has. The people who run it, Catalina and other family members, are always friendly and professional. They can run late sometimes. I like knowing who's cutting and coloring my hair. It's old school for sure, but it works for me. read more

They know what their doing very experienced and attentive. I love how well kept it is and how decorated the place is. Friendly people and amazing work..!!! read more

I highly recommend this place. An amazing salon with exceptional service and staff. They are so welcoming and friendly...

This place is a find. Really affordable, really friendly, and my highlights and cut were beautifully done. I am new to the area and had no idea where to go to get my hair done but this is definitely where I'm going from now on! read more

Catalina did an awesome job. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I don't know why yelp gives it $$$ - its very reasonably priced; it was only $30 for haircut, shampoo, and blow dry. read more

I had my hair straightener Chi Enviro keratin treatment they did Excellent job ;) very clean friendly staff and a reasonable price

This place is ok. Price is good. But they are so rough with their hands I felt my scalp throbbing as they washed my hair out - ouch!

I travel from Fremont to get my hair done by Catalina! She does an amazing job of taking the look you describe and making it even better than you envisioned. Her eye for color is astounding and she keeps it affordable! With Rocio waxing, my eyebrows have never looked better! The salon is clean and inviting with friendly staff and customers. read more

Wonderful family and great service! I balayaged and cut my hair with Catalina and her daughter. Amazing soooo beautiful. I'm really picky and I went to beauty school myself! The pattern and the color is gorgeous. I look so good and every single person saw me after agrees read more

I went in a couple of months ago, I liked my hair cut but the lady cutting my hair was super rude. & it's true they're so rough with your head/hair! I had a headache when I left. Wouldn't come back. read more

Catalina and her daughter are amazing at what they do . I came in as a walk in and needed hair color and highlights in very short time notice before my graduation . They did an outstanding job in a short time notice . I also needed my makeup done for my graduation and they got me set up and pretty for my graduation . I just love coming here to get my hair and makeup done . They are very welcoming , and sweet . They've helped my hair so much when it was damaged . Now I've got strong beautiful hair thanks to Catalina . Rocia did my eyebrows and they were perfect . So I just wanted to let everyone know this is. The best place to come get your hair done . I highly recommend Catalina's hair salon . read more

Catalina is the best. She has over 30 years of experience. Never been dissatisfied. She is very professional and knowledgeable. She always gives great advice and tips on how to improve your hair design. read more

They butchered my young daughters hair. She wasn't even squirmy. Bangs were very un even. Pros were it was a nice, clean salon and the cut was only $15. We won't be back. read more

I've been coming to Catalina for 4 months now, each time bringing her a different photo for styling my short hair. Each time she and her daughter have provided a warm welcome. Catalina spends time thoroughly crafting each haircut, and always asks for my feedback before finishing the cut - something I've never had any other hairstylist do, but have greatly appreciated! She is very skilled and all of the haircuts have been adapted for my hair type while still retaining the look I wanted from the photos I brought. On top of all this, she offers a great haircut at an affordable price! As a non-profit worker I thought I could never afford short hair, and I am so thankful to live near Catalina's. read more

Tried this place and am super happy with the haircut I got from Catalina. Friendly and casual atmosphere, great service, very reasonable price, and Catalina really knows what she's doing. I'll be getting my hair cut here regularly from now on. read more

I absolutely love Catalina and her daughter Rocio. I've been coming to them since I was 12, wouldn't change salons for the world. And they have the best customer service ever. read more

I love catalinas salon. Ive been going there for almost 4yrs and i never had a problem with my hair. I show them a pic on what i want for my hair and they do an amazing job. Catalina and rocio are amazing stylists read more

I cannot recommend Catalina's enough! Very clean, nice, and welcoming environment with friendly staff! BLONDES, if you're looking for a hair stylist, Cidnee is amazing! After trying many stylists in the valley and being disappointed every time, I came to Cidnee as my last hope and she exceeded my expectations and turned my damaged, uneven, dull blonde hair to a bright, healthy platinum blonde-which is no easy task. Not only is she very talented with hair, but her sweet, bubbly personality is a breath of fresh air :) read more

I just have to say I have never really used Yelp but I am so glad that I did. I was looking for a new hair stylist because the people I have seen in the past are just not what I want messing with my hair. I read all of the positive feedback and even after being discouraged by friends recommending other locations I decided to go with my gut. When I called in to book my appointment Catalina was very nice and helpful letting me know the prices and answering the questions I had. I made my appointment for 4pm. Around about 3:15pm I received a call from her Daughter Rocio letting me know she had gotten a little backed up and asked if I would like to just come a bit later so I wouldn't have to sit around I appreciated the thought. When I got there around 4:15 I was greeted very friendly and notices it was a beautiful and clean salon. I'd say the wash, cut, and blow out took about 45mins I was running late for work but so be it. We finished up and I was in love with my hair although now in a rush(lol). I'm picky about everything its my OCD but she made me happy and sorry to say that is a hard task. She was just all around very attentive and you could tell she was knowledgeable and obviously talented I will most definitely be going back to see her again and I will also be recommending her to any and everyone! Thanks Catalina and Rocio!!1 read more

i love catalina and her daughter rocio they are the only people who i allow to touch my hair and my face (waxes) they do excellent work ive been going to them since i was little and im now 22 always leave happy never have a complaint on them they are the best in town!! read more

Okay, so I've never had my hair cut professionally before, and I hadn't touched it with scissors since 7th grade (I'm 19). So I was definitely worried about this cut (going from mid- abdomen to shoulder length) but Catalina's was great. They asked exactly what I wanted and took time to look at my pictures, and talk with me before doing anything. She even asked about my curl type, since I have naturally curly hair and that could affect the length. She also let me pick the length with a clip which gave me a lot of peace of mind (I know a lot of places cut way more off than you tell them to). Instead of giving me long layers (to get rid of the harshness of the cut), she gave me a soft cut, which is so much better for me. She also kept me updated throughout the whole cut and would ask before she did something. And the price is so reasonable, for my cut which took about half an hour (no appointment), I paid just $18. My hair feels way healthier, and I'm very pleased. I will say however that some reviews are correct that they can be a little heavy handed/rough on your hair, but it didn't hurt me at all and they did a great job. The place is clean, and they speak both English and Spanish very well. read more

Everyone is so very talented and nice there. Seriously: the best haircuts and haircoloring I've ever had. You might have to wait a little because they're frequently pretty busy. read more
