I've been coming here off and on since it first opened in 1982. I highly recommend Cris. She is professional, sweet and friendly‼ Cris the owner takes Venmo, Zelle and eventually she will do Apple Pay and of course cash‼ There are others that work there independently, but you'll need to find out what they take for payment. What they charge for their Services and the days that they work. I've only used Cris. Feel free to call Cris for what she charges for her Services. I only had a haircut done today and it was $30 before tip. Funny fact when I was a teenager, I use to go sweep up hair for her. Cris currently works Sunday through Thursday. read more

Cris just reopened yesterday!!! She is so sweet! Come get your haircuts here. She was going to retire but then the pandemic hit. She's following every guideline to stay in compliance and working hard to stay in business. Her haircuts are the same price as well, $14. No pandemic price gouging. Thank you for the haircut today. Will mention you to all my friends and family. =] read more

See all

Cris hair design is open on Saturday and Tuesday. Why post the wrong information? Terri does a great job cutting hair on Saturday. I just got it done this morning. read more

I typically try to avoid writing negative reviews, but I felt it was my duty to share this experience and protect others like me from experiencing the same fate as me. Kind of like how Batman protects other kids from being orphans. I could write a big long post about how my feelings were hurt and my trust was broken but I think the picture speaks for itself. Yours truly, Mushroom man read more

DON'T GO THERE UNLESS YOU WANT A HOLE IN YOUR HAIRCUT The reason why I'm giving just a 1 star rating is because I noticed when I got home and had a closer look that I ended up with a bald spot in my head that was cut incorrectly (you can only see it in certain angles, looking closely - picture attached) Tried to talk to Moon on the phone (she was the one that made this mess) and she just hanged the phone on my face. That shows a lot of the type of professionals they are. Trying to get my money back because of this awful haircut read more

Overall great experience! I was passing by and saw the place wasn't busy and I've been needing a haircut for quite awhile. Usually if places aren't busy, I get the assumption maybe they aren't all that great. I've also had some bad haircuts by some "pro's" and have been a little weary to trust anyone. I called to see if they had time to fit me in and returned back to the salon. Terri warmly greeted me and was very attentive to hearing what I wanted in my haircut today. After she repeated what I wanted back to me, she began. I could immediately tell she knew what she's doing. Terri was a pleasure to chat with and has such a friendly disposition. The haircut turned out great! And I couldn't be more pleased with the experience, professionalism, and price! The price can't be beat! Well worth it and I will be back. read more

If you want to receive a good hair cut paying a decent fee you need to go to this Hair saloon. Specially, if you go on Sundays or Mondays you would have the chance to receive the nice hair job from Ms Moon. She spends a quality time to cut your hair, never rushes and always faces customers with a nice smile. But, it is not just the hair cut, you can receive other services like dying your hair over there if you visit Ms Moon on Sundays and Mondays. Highly recommended! read more

Disclaimer: this review is an avg of 2 scores: Kris gets 5 stars (as always) but the new caucasian barber gets 0. Unfortunately, I found out that Kris is planning to retire in the near future and this is very sad news, as I've been getting my $15 haircut from her for the past few yrs since my workplace is down the road on Agnew. This time around, Kris was on vacation so the new guy was the only hair stylist/barber available. As if the price increase from $15 to $20 wasn't bad enough, he immediately started to give me non-stop UNSOLICITED advice on a series of life topics as follows: (1) USA should give gasoline another chance to power our country's vehicles since we haven't given the gas industry enough time to "work things out". Even though gas prices $6+/gallon, war is threatening our supply chain and we haven't yet figured how to make nuclear-powered cars, we shouldn't rush to switch to electric vehicles yet. (2) People should by pro-life and have as many kids as they are capable because "life is short" and the bible says it's ok. And only after we've had a bunch, we'll worry about how to take care of them later in life. (3) His 11 yr old child should be taught in public school that there only 2 choices of sexual orientation and no more because that is what was taught when he was a child. As a result, if my children are taught that there are more than 2 choices, then I need to pull them out of public school for their well-being, because "children need to be children". I should reiterate that I am not a chatty customer since I typically get a haircut during lunch break, so not interested in striking up a long profound conversation. I just want a decent haircut at a reasonable price and then return to grab a quick lunch before restarting work. At no point in this transaction did I suggest that I wanted to talk about the fossil fuel industry, pro life vs choice, how many children to bring into this world or the appropriate number of sexual orientations recognized by the public schools. Pls do yourself a favor; call ahead and make sure either Kris or the east-asian stylist (who works on weekends) is on call instead of the caucasian guy. read more

This was my 2nd time getting my hair cut by Terri N. She remembered exactly how I like it and the result was great. She is very professional and she's easy to talk with. I will definitely come back again. read more

I've been going here on-and-off for several years, but with the price increase to $20 it seems less value. Cris was busy with someone else so another person who I first thought was a customer since she was sitting outdoors jumped in and said she would cut my hair. Now hearing Cris will retire from other reviews here I'm inclined to find another place. IMO this Rivermark area has increased prices for restaurants and services recently. read more

I love Cris! I've been going to her for as long as I can remember and she's always super friendly and never gives a bad haircut, for $12 too! She is great. Cash only! read more

I walked in the shop with shoulder length hair asked for a hair cut actually hair trim. We talked about what I wanted for hair trimmed so he started cutting and did a good job but when I asked him how much he said $55 I was shocked. I think it's over charged read more

First time here and I was treated like a Cris son. As soon as I entered the salon Cris greeted with a smile and asked my name. We live close by and I've been going to east San Jose to cut my hair but going there is so traffic so, I decide to try it here. I was surprised with the price of $1, plus the service is two thumbs up! We had a good conversation with Cris as well while cutting my hair. I highly recommend here to cut your hair and yes you cannot beat the price! read more

Nice little place with very friendly atmosphere. They cut men and women hair. Very happy about my cut and the price is only $12 (+tip) for a regular man style. My wife had a hair wash and trim, and she was satisfied too. Definitely going back and I recommend this place. read more

Was in a hurry maybe coz there were a few people behind me. Was done in 10 mins. Didn't do what I asked for. Worst hair cut ever.

A great haircut place. The people clearly put time and care into their craft and it shows

Just came back from getting my son's hair cut, He's almost 2 yrs old, and gets a 2 on the Top and 1 on the sides... Small hole in the wall place, But these are places we want in our neighborhoods...Family Owned and very welcoming. I was always taking my son to the East side of San Jose, because I liked the way they cut his hair...But this place was way to busy and Dirty. BUT NOT NO MORE.....Chris is the Owner and she was so sweet to my son and did an AWESOME job, a very well done fade and it was only $8. Thank You lord that she lives walking distance from my house. I will be taking my son every Thursday for a clean up. I would def recommend her to family and friends read more

I called yesterday and was given the impression that I would be taken care of. "Yeah, come on in after you get off at 4pm!" Umm..So I get there today to find 3 people waiting. It's around 4:30 by this time and I get turned away because they close @ 5pm. In conclusion, I faded my own hair and did a damn good job. From here on out I think I'll save the time, money & inconvenience. read more

Been going to this place for over 20years, just love Chris she is a sweetheart and pay good attention to details. The other workers work just as well and is now open 7 days a week. If you are in need of a haircut and in the area, stop by and meet these wonderful people. read more

Great place to get a haircut. Cash only, but $10 flat! Very professional, highly recommended. read more

First time coming to this place. I have to say, I am picky on my hair cut especially for a flat-top. I guess Moon did a very good job on my hair. I found another place to cut my hair now. read more

This place is amazing. Every haircut I get here, makes me feel good and confident. Moon does a fabulous job on my hair. She is very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this place. read more

We have been bringing our son here for haircuts since he was 1. Ms Terry is awesome and always so kind and patient. She's the only one who can get a good cut out of him (little kids can be tough!) read more

I've been coming here for the past 2 years and it's a decent little place. Everyone here is friendly and generally does a great job giving you a quality hair at a reasonable price. read more

Everyone there was super nice, and the price is a great deal! They treat you really well, and Terri did a great job on my boyfriends hair - he looks like a new man :P They do cash only, but worth it! read more

Cris gave me a pretty good haircut, taking into account that it has to be suitable for work, not too old fashioned, and has to compliment my glasses. She's also very friendly and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend. read more

Love Cris'! Always great service and you can't beat the price for a man's haircut. I'm new to town and this has become my barbershop!

Moon @ Chris' works on Sunday and Mondays and is very friendly and listens carefully, extremely cheerful and easy to work with. Highly recommend her! Chris is also amazing! read more

WAY OVERPRICED FOR WHAT YOU GET. Pros: No waiting time. Cons: I came on a Monday so I got Moon. This place starts prices at $12.99 so I expected a cheaper cut, even for long female hair, but $25 for what I got was completely ridiculous. I asked for a trim on my layered hair. She suggested a straight cut. Sure, that's fine I was down to try a different look but ALL she did was spritz water to get my hair damp, cut a straight (somewhat curved) line on the bottom of my hair, applied some hair serum? and then blow dried it. The straight line looked alright in the salon, but I later came home to discover that it was really crocked in some parts! If I wanted my hair to look like this, I should've just done it myself at home for free. I don't know how she calculated her pricing, but regardless, I feel gypped. She spent maybe 10 minutes in total on what felt like a cop out for an easy hair cut (by suggesting a straight cut instead of trimming my layers) and charged me a more premium price for this "cheaper priced" hair salon. If she had actually trimmed my layered hair by cutting each layer, sure $25 I can accept. NO, she suggested a straight cut for me and then did a bad job. I've gotten better hair cuts for $15 (even with all the layering). I wanted to try this place because it was close, but never again. TL;DR Hairstylist Moon charged $25 for a crappy straight cut on long hair. Would not go again. read more

Moon is the best! She listens to your problem and gives you a better solution. She is so nice and she is very good at her job. For sure you'll get a best haircut for only $12. She works on Mondays and Sundays. Don't forget to schedule an appointment otherwise you need to wait longer and longer. read more

I've been coming to Chris for 3 years now, and she is the best hairdresser I ever had (white male hair)

I just get a simple haircut. Cris was very sweet and very quick! It's a good haircut at a good price

Though the first sight of the salon might deceive you, you would be surprised how good and friendly the staff is. I got a haircut from Terri and it turned out to be great! Whichever salon I go, I usually show them a picture of the haircut I want but generally end up with something far from it. Terri took a good look at the haircut and tried her best to get it. Not only did she pay great attention to detail but she was very friendly and we had a great conversation. If you haven't been here, you should definitely try once and see. read more

I have very kinky, sort of curly hair, and have had trouble getting good hair cuts. I resorted to cutting my hair on my own for years. A co-worker recommended this spot, and I have now been coming here for a few years. I love the end product. The price is great. Cris' conversations and positivity make the haircut that much better. Also, recently, Moon started working there on Sundays and Mondays. She does a very good job too, and has a gentle touch. She is very friendly. I have had 2 haircuts from her now, and they turned out great! I highly recommend you go! read more

Chris is an Awsome caring lady , very skilled and friendly, I have been coming to her saloon for almost six years

Very comforting hair dresser. She listens to what kind of hair style you want and also suggests what would look good. Had a great hair cut for a very reasonable cost. read more

I have had my eyebrows tattooed over 8 times. They turned grey and we're not even the last time. I went to Moon and she fixed the perfect with quality product. I love them. And she gives the best facials and does hair color too. Thanks Moon I'm over the read more

Had a great hair cut by Moon. Good price and service. Will come again:)
