Five stars in every way: cut, vibe, friendliness, reasonable pricing, available parking, communication, availability. I think this is the most comfortable place I've ever had my hair done. I'm guessing that's because, as a one-man shop, David's personality seems to infiltrate the whole place. Absolutely professional, but with music, decor, color, and even tool storage that I suspect reflect David's personality. In any event, it works. None of that would matter without a great cut, and I'm happy to report that that's exactly what I got. David asked questions, made suggestions, and got right to work. He clearly knew what he was doing and was comfortable doing it. Thanks, David, for the quick responses, revived hair, and lovely visit. read more

David gave me the best haircut I have had in six years. He listened to what I wanted- a haircut that covered a thinning bit in the front, easy maintenance, and looked great styled or air-dried. I got a great cut, conversation and listened to some wonderful music. All at a great price. Give him a call. You won't be disappointed. read more

It has been a year since my last cut. Decided to grow long hair for the first time in my life. Finally, my wife threatened to leave me if I didn't get it cut. David squeezed me in and saved my marriage. Trying a new new style. David was fun and made it happen. Happy with the cut and enjoyed hanging with David. Excellent experience. read more

Deja Vu Hair Studio - After - Hair Salons Near Me - Aptos, California

I moved to the area four years ago. Tried a few places but luckily landed here. I have waited for several visits to write this review. What makes me like a hairstylist and keep them is communication and consistency. David is both. He listens and cuts my hair perfectly the way I have asked and perfect every time. He is owner and sole stylist in his shop so that is super nice too. He has never kept me waiting. You won't be disappointed....well unless you have expectations for something you can't articulate. Lol read more

A cut above the rest... Having only had a hair since I was in high school, I was on vacation visiting my family in Santa Cruz looking for a good hair stylist. After reading through many companies throughout the area, I chose to Deja Vu and entrusted the skills that of David. I sent a appointment request in the wee hours of the night and David fit me in his schedule that day. He took a great amount of time cut and showed off his gift of hair styling while I was there. Not only is he very thorough but he will chat with you while perfecting you hair cut. I'd highly recommend anyone to come see him and next time I am back home he'll be getting my business.

David cut my hair perfectly even though I was a little nervous to get a haircut since I rarely get them, but he was very thorough in telling me what he was doing and keeping in mind what I wanted. He definitely knows what he is doing when it comes to hair! And the shop is in a nice area near the cement boat with the cutest little shops and people. I would definitely recommend getting a haircut here! read more

Was a very pleasant experience. Just needed a simple mens haircut, no fuss. David did a great job.

Been going to David ever since I was little and not once have I ever been dissatisfied. A very interesting and funny guy to talk to and he always cuts my hair exactly how I want it, no questions asked. He has a wide variety of hair gel/shampoo products that have helped me maintain my new hairstyle. I intend to go to David as long as I can as he's been a great friend and barber for as long as I can remember. read more

I'm the kind of person who stays with a barber or hair stylist for years if they're doing a great job. I switched to David nearly a year ago and I plan to stay with him as long as he's in business. He completely gets what makes my hair look good, he's interesting to talk to, a nice guy and he plays terrific blues on his sound system. What's not to like? read more

The best. David Richlin, the owner of Deja Vu Hair studio in Aptos, is the best hair cutter! He has given me the best, most beautiful hair cuts. I live in Southern California, but whenever I visit the Central Coast I always make time to see David to get a hair cut. He is absolutely fantastic and a really nice person. The salon is cute and quiet in a cute part of Aptos. If you are anywhere on the Central Coast it is worth the drive to Aptos to see David Richlin. He really listens to what you want, and he is intuitive about what will look good on you and what will work best with your hair. He is the best!! read more
