I went to Hair by the Bay in Seaside today and had my hair cut by Parvin. She is a very talented…read morehair stylist, a delight to talk to but more importantly very skilled in cutting hair. I would highly recommend her to anyone but particularly to men like me looking for a solid haircut. The salon is a little humble but clean and the staff are friendly and very good at cutting hair. I'm a 62 year old man, have a job in which I must present myself to students, colleagues, and professional associations. The COVID restrictions, while very understandable to me, made taking care of my appearance challenging. Since buying a home in the area, I have been holding off switching from an expensive salon in another area. I am very happy that I found Hair by the Bay on Fremont in Seaside and in particular that I was able to get my hair cut by Parvin, whom I highly recommend. Did I mention that the haircut cost less than half of what the expensive salon job cost? And it looks exactly as good?

However, I never know Ashley before, but she is a person who is skilled and very heart warming. I feel her positive vibe.

We were in from out of town and decided I was really in need of a trim. We looked at a few…read moredifferent salons close to our hotel and we called one or two to see if they had a drop-in times for a quick cut. I failed to get her name but she was very nice and friendly when she answered the phone and said she had time for me. She did even call back later to ask if I could be there just a bit later as her previous person was running late. The salon was busy with clients on both sides of the salon. It was clean and bright. It was nice to get pampered just a bit while on vacation too! If we lived close by, I believe I would go back on a regular basis.

I decided to give them a shot and I unfortunately only speak English. They speak mostly Spanish but also have stylists that also speak english. They have been so kind and accommodating and I cannot speak highly enough of them. Everytime I walk in everyone says hello and is quick to let me know someone will be with me in a moment. They are all very professional and I'm beyond lucky to be a customer of theirs. Last summer I accidentally bleached a chunk of my hair off and they let me come in on a very busy Saturday at the last moment and they were able to give me bangs and relayer my hair. 12/10 customer care and customer service.

Nice staff who cut & style hair without frills or unnecessary waste. Typical haircut is done…read morewithout a wash, but combines a wet (spray bottle) with dry cut for best result. Price is very fair & no time is wasted. Building is older & cramped, but the hairdressers do a lot of business in the small space. None of the space is wasted with waterfalls or products we don't need. Parking available on the street or in a small lot next to the building. If you need the overpriced pampering, pomp & circumstance, and frills... go somewhere else. If you want a haircut with basic style for a good price (Walk-Ins Welcome!), Scissor Shack is the place to go.

So my hair was in quite a state of disarray. Ann made me feel comfortable. She cut, lighten and added color. It looked better than I could have imagined. I have been back numerous times and she always does a great job. Not only that but the shop is so cool. She displays art works of local artist's, along with a bunch of vintage stuff.

Unfortunately the haircut I received here was very bad. Cathy cut it haphazardly, not really…read morelooking at if the sections were even and barely brushed before she grabbed sections. It was rushed. I also asked for and paid for a DevaCut for my curly hair but it was nothing like the DevaCuts I have had before were there are several steps in the process (she only cut when it was dry when it's supposed to be touched up when wet and did not style it after wetting it, also sent me home with wet hair when it is supposed to be diffused until dry). The hair cut was between $80-$100 (can't remember exactly because I tipped) and it was not worth the price considering it was not a DevaCut. My hair has been splitting all the way up the shaft since this haircut, splitting so bad in ways my hair has never split before. There were also a couple strands that were randomly two inches longer than the rest of my hair in the back?? Again because she wasn't really looking, taking the time to section or check if she was cutting evenly. I do not recommend this place.
