Great place and very friendly staff also, Kim is good person to talk to she is good at what she does also. The service is very kind they try to make you feel good & make you happy when you're there. It's great area and its home i can't say nothing else the energy is unexplainable you will see for yourselves! read more

I gave 4 stars several years ago. It should have been 5 stars!! Holly has been coloring and cutting my hair for almost 20 years! I have very fine hair with no curls. Holly does the shade of brown (over my grey hair) that I love and looks good with my coloring. She always styles it nicely. I often get a pedicure while the dye is setting. Their charges are 1/2 what others charge. I highly recommend Holly. The other stylists seem equally talented! read more

The best service and the most workable hairstyles ! I love this place! Also got my nails done by an expert and have never been treated so well. read more

Be careful! They just want your business and don't care about how you look after hair cut! Some of them don't have good skill and my hair doesn't come out even. read more

Have gotten a haircut here a few times and still 1 of the more reasonably priced salon in the area. Generally isn't very busy and have liked the haircut I got here read more

Christine is one of my favorites since the first time she gave me a haircut! She is very sweet and suggests options very politely as well. She has more than 20 years of experience and she is so down to earth :) I feel sooo happy to support this small business for their creativity and honesty! read more

Do not come here to get your nails done. My first and last time. I had an older lady do my nails. Really sweet lady though. I came in with acrylic nails and wanted them removed. I wanted my natural nails painted. They don't do acrylic by the way. These are the results $20 later. I get what I paid for. I came here cause I was in the area. However, the hair salon it's self was a hit . They were busy. The faculty is dated. read more

Horrible haircut. It was a red flag when she couldn't listen to how I wanted my hair cut. She kept impatiently interrupting, saying "I know, I know- I've been cutting hair for two decades." I made it clear I wanted to keep my bangs. Minutes later I watched in horror as she cut them off straight across my forehead. The left and right side of my head don't match in hair length. Sure, $15 is a low price. But I'd pay that to NOT have to go here. Avoid. I can't wait for my hair to grow back so I don't look so silly. read more

Made an appointment for 11:30 with Christine. Waiting and waiting, an hour later left. WTF People don't respect people's time anymore. they have mixed reviews, was referred to Christine and won't be going back. read more

They have been in the same location in couple decades, that alone could tell that they must be doing something right. Staff are very attentive my son had a haircut and we didnt even have to wait. First come first serve no matter new or old client. Friendly people and the owner are very accomodating. I hope they last another 20 years! read more

Kim is taking care of my hair for years now. She and Christine are fabulous. Prices are affordable and results are great. You can schedule an appointment or you can just walk in. Make it your go to place for haircut. read more

Melissa is the worst. She made me wait 45 min even though I had an appointment. Her assistant had already made my hair wet. So when I told them I had no time to get the service done as I was getting late she charged me money anyways. Horrible person and unprofessional. She didn't even have courtesy to apologize once. read more

This is one of those places where you get a good deal for a fast haircut. I think the girl did a really good job of giving me the cut I asked for, and she did not rush it. She was nice and pleasant, and the cut looks pretty good right now, will probably look better once I style it. For the price, I think its a great value and I would come back again for sure. I think they can benefit from a deep cleaning and organizing of the place. But aside from that, it was an overall really pleasant experience. read more

I go to that salon with my daughter for a haircut every 2-3 months. I have not had any color or other services done, so this review is for haircuts only. We have been going there since my daughter was 2 years old. They do a good job for kids and adults. It is one of the few reasonably priced hair salons in the area. We are happy with the haircuts, our hair is always soft and shiny when we walk out of this place, which is a feat in my case because I normally walk in there with dry hair. They are nice with my daughter and chat and joke with her. Both my daughter and I have always walked out of there satisfied with our haircut. read more

Only 15$ for a haircut but layered is 20$ I didn't have an appointment n the waiting time was short (like 1 minute) and she did my haircut real fast read more

I was thrilled with my service today. I booked a cut and root touch up with Christine. She took the time to discuss the color and cut with me, and she showed me how to curl my hair with a flat iron. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you! read more

I've been seeing Christine for over a year. I was looking for a new stylist and was impressed by her reviews. I remember one reviewer saying she does amazing a-lines, which I can now attest is true! The first time I saw her, I brought a picture of the haircut I was looking for, and she nailed it. Along with being a talented stylist, she is a great listener, a lovely person, and a consummate professional. If you're thinking of switching to a new stylist, I highly recommend Christine. read more

Highly recommended as a colorist, stylist and a very nice woman . Her prices are as modest as her shop decor . She and her sister run the salon and have many loyal customers for many years . I really feel very lucky to have found her ! If what you want is a sleek, modern decor for a salon , then look elsewhere .... But if you are looking for a very affordable salon with good stylists who listen to what you want and can deliver , then try Christine or Kim .... That is , if you can get an appointment !! read more

Made a Thursday Brazilian wax appointment in the morning, day of for 7pm that evening, closing time with Kim their main waxer. She has been brazilian waxing for 4-5 years. Kim was running 5 minutes late but was very nice. She didn't change the linens from the previous customer, stains on the sheet and hairs. Two sheet covered tables in room. Double dips the same wooden spatula throughout the waxing. Reuses muslin strips a couple of times. She waxes smaller areas then I prefer. Room gets warm. Kim did comply with not going over the same area with hot wax. Was sensitive to the temperature and blew on it, which probably isn't a hygienic cooling method. She did pluck the stray hairs. Used baby powder to prep the area then baby oil after plucking. Took 15 minutes to wax me. Kim said I am quick compared to others, some clients can take an hour, they have hair on their thighs and up their stomach too. When I booked the appointment, I must have asked the wrong question, I asked for hot wax, no muslin strips. I should have asked for "hard wax, no muslin strips" like the blue Cirepril hard wax used at Beauty Clinica http://www.yelp.com/biz/beauty-clinica-palo-alto#hrid:flulR0EJKs9sfX13M8_HQQ and Thermae http://www.yelp.com/biz/thermae-day-spa-menlo-park#hrid:4HsCWSGH3-H2tCc3WUI3Rg. Kim uses Gigi Honee wax with muslin strips. Wasn't too painful but I did use my lidocaine, 5% topical ointment. I applied the ointment around 15 minutes before the wax, numbness lasted round an hour. Only procured through a doctor, prescription only. Cleanliness of waxing room 1 Double dip the wooden paddle/stick, only used the one 1 Nice friendly staff 4 Brazilian wax, pain and attention to detail 4 Price $30 w/ $10 tip 4 Appointments suggested. Christine the owner waxes but doesn't prefer to. Note: Got a rash afterwards, first time I have gotten a rash from a Brazilian. Don't know if it could be the cleaniliness aspect of double dipping the stick or my first time using hot wax with muslin strips. read more

At the beginning when I was sat down the stylist got on a phone call for 10 minutes before she started. When she finally started I asked specifically not to take anything off the top and the "stylist" cut two thirds off the length of it. All the scissors were blunt so each cut was painful and pulled out hair. read more

$20 for a women's haircut - great price for a quick, neat, no-frills haircut! I walked in on a Friday morning and waited for less than 5 minutes to be seated. They don't wash your hair or anything, but Janet (I think that was her name?) was attentive to my requests (long layers, keep length, thin out hair) and worked carefully but quickly. I was in at 11:20 AM, and was out well before noon. This isn't a place where you can get really fancy to relax for like a ~~~~salon day or anything, but it gets the job done for a great price. read more

Rita was friendly but gave an extremely painful waxing. Traumatizing experience, as she lied and said everything was fine. I was left with ripped skin and bruising. She tried to tell me this was normal, this is far from normal and has never happened before in my life. Plus she was laughing through the whole thing which did not create a good environment. I knew it would be a horrible experience when I pulled up, but it was a last minute appointment. Avoid this place if you care about your skin or don't want a wax that will make you cry. Still tipped after this though smh. You couldn't pay me to return. read more

This morning I called first to make anappiontment , it was at 10:45. I got there at 10:25. the lady checked schedule and said that it was a mistake and erased my appointment on the book. So I had to wait. six customers came in later, they all got service before me and they told me that because they had appointment, I did not. I just waited there until 11:20, a lady had no customer, then it was my turn. read more

I started coming to Christine's over a decade ago. Most of the time Melissa cut my hair. Everyone is lovely and kind and the mess, while a little distracting, can be seen as adorable. Until it just isn't because something has to work out, hopefully the hair cut. Look around for another spot if you can find one. They are nice but. Here is how it went for me: After about seven years I had one truly awful experience and then didn't return for a couple years. Then I came back with my kid because she recalled how sweet they were and it is close - she had an OK cut and gorgeous purple tips on her dark hair. Just now I made an appointment for my son and I, they weren't ready. Then they took him (Diana) and completely ignored what he asked for, giving him some kind of generic boy cut with a lot of shrugging. They still weren't ready for me but by then I thought I'd better be done coming here and seek out a new place convenient to me. Sad about this but done. read more

One of my favorite hair cut place. The price is super cheap. And, the quality is as good as $50 hair salon. Do Not Go there for nail service. I tried once. I don't want to try it again. Hair cut service is really recommended! read more

I have been going to Christine for years - I so miss going here because of the pandemic. So glad that they have outdoor services (for safety) and also because my hair misses Christine. I am calling today for an appointment! read more

Kim gave me an excellent perm and haircut. I came here by chance, without any previous reviews about their perm services. Kim was fast, friendly and professional. While waiting for the perm to set in, she had time to give three haircuts to other customers. The shop itself is nice and spacious (larger than your average salon) and comfortable waiting area. The price for a haircut and perm is competitve, so I will definitely be back! read more

Omg - rave reviews!!! The stylist listened to me and gave me a cut that i wanted - price is unbeatable (for same city and styling I paid 5x more at another salon!!!) read more

Melisa did a great job cutting and dying my hair, referred my Mom as well and liked how her hair turned out. This salon is very busy- everyone is working hard, it's not a relaxing, talking type of place but it's great for getting groomed and out quickly. It's also not the cleanest place ever- that doesn't matter to me for my hair Once you are done, Target is 2 stores down! Will repeat business with this salon and ask for Melisa read more

Haircut for women is 20 dollars and 10 for men. I walked in today (Sunday) and got into a chair pretty quickly, no waiting. I just wanted a haircut, some layers. They don't wash your hair or anything, it's just pretty straightforward. The woman who cut my hair was friendly and we had a nice chat, I showed her a photo of what I wanted my style to be and I'm very satisfied. She said she's worked there or has been a hair stylist since 1994. I'd go back here again for a haircut, no fuss, gets the job done. read more

One of my best haircuts since moving to the Bay Area. Quality cuts at very affordable prices. Heck, the barber Heather even offered advice on what would look good for me (she did not like my idea of just buzzing my head and doing a fade). She took her time to carefully cut my hair and it's clear that she is very skilled. read more

Shoutout to Christine for helping me trim my hair before I left for India! I was in need of a trim before my trip and did not know of any good places in the Silicon Valley because it is intimidating to see how many haircut places there are in this area! However, I was recommended by my friend, so I just thought I would give it a try. Although I had a 2:00 pm appointment, I did have to wait about 15 minutes before we were seen. The location was literally poppin' at 2 pm, and I was very surprised. Left and right, women were seen getting Brazilian blow-outs and dying their hair in time for the summer season. For me, I was just trimming my hair about 3 more inches, and Christine made my hair more A-lined, which looked great on me after the cut. While the store may not be one of the most trendiest salons you have ever been to, it definitely is worth the price. I paid $15 (without tip) for my trim, which actually took out a significant weight off my hair. I am pleased with Christine's services and would recommend her to anyone looking for just a trim! P.S. There are actually some good restaurants around this area, so you can knock down 2 bookmarks in one visit to Mountain View! That's what I did. :) read more

I went here for eyebrow threading and upper lip waxing. The threading was painfully slow, took 20 minutes and the result wasn't good. My eyebrows don't match and I'm not sure who hygienic their equipment is, my skin had a reaction to wear the thread had been. I usually get my eyebrows done every month, never had a skin reaction and years and it usually takes 5-10 minutes. Overall service was slow, definitely not going back here. The staff was friendly, I'll give them that. read more

Price was decent for a ladies wash and cut. Stylist must have been in a bad mood or something when I went. The reviews I read before going there seemed great. My hair looked decent when I left. When I came back and restyled it, it looks like chopped up levels of hair. Worst cut I've ever had. Never going back for a haircut. read more

My family has been going to Christine for years. Since hair salons were allowed to re-open in Santa Clara County, I have seen Christine twice for hair cuts and color. Pre-Covid, Christine's Salon was always packed with stylists and aestheticians, and clients, and was a lively place. Since the new regulations, the salon has had to implement strict social distancing and sanitation standards, and has managed to do an excellent job with this. Clients are spaced out at every other station, and there are only a few clients in the salon at a time. Mask policy is strictly enforced and there is constant sanitizing of chairs and surfaces. While it doesn't have the lively atmosphere, it feels safe and welcoming. My hair looks great, and I always enjoy chatting with Christine, as she has become a good friend. read more

I got a manicure-pedicure with the special OPI gel-like polish on my nails, which cost $30. The quality of the manicure was quite poor. The polish is uneven, and I honestly think I could have done a better job myself. The pedicure was better but there are better places for the same price. Some of the bad parts about the experience: salon is not well kept. While I don't expect much from a salon on the low-end side, they didn't seem to be very hygienic about their towels, their tools and the chairs. The furniture looked very grody and the whole place seemed disorganized about where things are kept. The lady who did my nails did not seem very experienced in nail painting, but she was nice. Good parts: pretty much just the price... The clientele is much older--almost everyone there was my grandmother's age or older. The salon had a very 90's vibe with the posters hanging and the kinds of haircuts people got. read more

I was looking for a no frills quick haircut and this is exactly that. I was in and out in about 15 minutes. Can't beat the $20 price as well. And the cut was the same as I've paid much much more for. read more

The haircut was cheap, but it was a bit hard communicating with the lady. She cut my hair too short.

I grew up in palo alto and my mom introduced me to this place. Christine and Kim and Melissa are great at what they do! Their prices are great and i plan on going here for a while! read more
