Mail is one of the best hair stylists! She is honest, trustworthy and does a great cut every time. Note- she has moved on from Express Cut and now cuts at Voila Hair Design on State Street in Los Altos. She can be reached at her cell to make appointments directly (408)674-2002 read more

I had a horrible experience, it was my biggest mistake to trust her to cut my hair I never back to her salon! read more

Two very good haircuts so far -- one from each stylist -- but Z... O... M... G... I swear, David Lynch must have designed the ambiance here. The decor is 80s pink and pastel teal, complete with formica. It looks recent & intentional, not leftover. The music... could almost be an alternate La Cage aux Folles soundtrack. I mean, can you imagine hearing something that sounded like "Lost in Love" covered by Captain and Tennille, with guest vocals by Antony of Antony and The Johnsons? I believe the owner is Persian, seeing Gougoush and Banan CDs on the shelf (and Googling the names on my Evo 4G when nobody was looking). I can't say the music's bad, just surreal. If you like the bizarre showtune and adult contemporary covers genre, then your groove is on here. Anyway, at $23 including tip for a guy's haircut, I like the results *almost* as well as with my $42 stylist back home in Chicagoland (though of course that's a more chic salon, and she's much wittier, more engaging & way hotter to look at. I'm pretty sure she also reads Yelp. Hi Julia!). read more

Express Cut - for those who can't read, it says express cut - Hair Salons Near Me - Mountain View, California

I was in search for a new hairstylist after 14+ years. Thank you COVID-19! Mali was fantastic. She followed all the safety protocols. Temperature checks, sanitizer, masks. The salon was also very clean and organized which I love since I'm a germaphobe. Mali consulted with me about what type of cut I was looking for. Showed me some hairstyle inspiration books. She was so friendly, and we had an instant connection. The kind you look for in a hairstylist aka therapist. I am so happy with my new look. Goodbye quarantine hairstyle! I look forward to more haircuts in the future with Mali. Highly recommend!! read more

Disclaimer: Didn't actually get service. Bought the groupon for one blow dry, one color treatment, and one moroccan oil deep conditioning treatment. Called them on the phone to make my appointment, and whoever answered was incredibly rude and short with me. I was trying to understand the specifics of "color treatment" because I wanted to get a hair dye. So I asked, does this mean a "hair dye"? She responded yes. So I then ask if I could get my hair dyed red, and she said no this is to cover greys only. I then said I thought you said hair dye, and she just basically yelled at me for not understanding that to her "hair dye" = "getting greys covered" and nothing more. She was extraordinarily rude and consdescending so I decided to not to make an appointment there after all and cancelled my Groupon. read more

Hi Everyone, Mali is truly the best at what she does. I came in with my hair color the color of copper and extremely upset! My previous hairdresser did an terrible job. However, Mali was calm and explained to me how to proceed to get a better color which complements my skin tone. She showed me what she was going to do, got my permission, and proceeded to change my hair color. She is knowledgeable about color and her cut was fantastic too. I highly recommend her. Donna H read more

I went for a cut since my hair was in a really bad shape, like it was damaged. Mali gave me her honest advice and said I don't need a cut since my hair is healthy and that it's just over-dried due to my shampoo. I still decided to get a stylish cut from her. She did an elegant job and I'm absolutely happy with my haircut. Also, very kind and respectful. Will definitely go back. read more

This place is so deceiving! I called and asked how much it costs for a men's cut. $20. Great, not bad for the area. After getting my cut the hair dresser said, okay $27 ... dafuq? I called and they said $20. It's been $27 for over a year, sir. Thank you, next. --- It turns out the owner of this salon subleases to the individual hair stylists. This may be common, not sure. Anyway, I believe I spoke to the owner on the phone and she's just trying to get more clientele in the door, so she quoted me $20. It was clear the stylists did not like her, either, and gave me their personal information so next time the owner doesn't get as big a cut. read more

Chau is the best. Never too busy to squeeze you in Does not charge enough Does both male and female equally great read more

Do NOT get your hair cut here. Lady who did my hair was very nice but she said $15 hair cut over the phone that I ended paying $40 for. I agreed to the price because my hair is very long and I wanted a 4 inches cut and a style. So let me tell you how this lady jacked up my hair. It looks so bad! It's so bad that my co-worker who only cuts her dogs hair wanted to fix it ahhhhhhhhh.... One of the worst decisions of my life read more

Express Cut - So this is suppose to be a "V" cut with only face framing layers. Yea.... Idk what the f%+=\! She did - Hair Salons Near Me - Mountain View, California

I was very skeptical to get my haircut because my hair has never been this long in my life. I always had short hair since high school and I was really scared to get my haircut. My good friend suggested so we decided to go together... So I sat on the chair and she starts spraying my hair and asked me if I wanted to keep my length and so I nodded. Soon after that question, she right away started cutting my hair not asking me what I wanted or how I wanted it cut... I know that as the person getting the haircut, you have to be firm and tell them exactly what I want but I didn't even get the chance to tell her.... She started cutting my hair without me knowing what she's going to do. So i was just sitting here dumbfounded... I am actually pretty shy so I couldn't barge and ask her what exactly she was doing to my hair... I sat there seeing my precious locks getting cut... I thought she was going to keep my length, but I guess not.... After biting my tongue and being frustrated, she blow-dried my hair and the final product was very upsetting.... Again, I was too shy to say I hated it and I wanted to refund so I just continued to bite my dog and have an unpleasant face all the way... I paid $35.00 for a haircut that i did not like. I WILL NEVER EVER EVER BE COMING HERE AGAIN... read more

Mali is the sweetest lady ever! I got a keratin treatment done here and she was very patient and even offered me tea while drying my hair. She was also very sensitive to the fact that I was cold and closed the door for a bit. No complains about the service hereee! I also got a Groupon for the treatment, which was not received resentfully here (yay!), as at many other service/food places. read more

Express Cut - I wish I had a before picture! This is the after picture of the keratin treatment. - Hair Salons Near Me - Mountain View, California

Not a reliable salon if you have an event to attend or a flight to catch. I had to fly for a wedding and thought of getting a blowout right before leaving to the airport. Appointment was at 10 but Malli did not come until 10.40am. Funny was that no one else in the salon knew about this appointment to fill in for her. Such a bummer!! read more

Mali is just wonderful ! very professional, very clean, great personality as well. Always greets you, listen to your needs as well. It is always easy to book an appointment. I keep telling her that seeing her every week it better then going the therapy. I see her for more then 5 years now & very happy with the results. read more

I went to Mali for a hair color. She was just amazing! I can tell her what I want and she would try to suggest things that would work! She knows how to blend the color and make my hair look natural. Love it! read more

I called this place to inquire about their keratin treatment. The person who answered was so rude from the second she picked up the phone. She answered my questions with a short yes/no with a tone of annoyance, as if I had disturbed her sleep in the middle of the night! I also asked what product they use to do keratin treatment and she said she can't tell me! I said I want to come for get a treatment and I deserve to know what product you will be using on my hair. She said "You need to make an appointment and come here, then I show you the product!" WTH! That defeats the purpose! I need to research the product and read reviews on it BEFORE I make an appointment to get a treatment, not after. If they are so insecure about their product that they don't want to disclose its identity, they can be sure I'd never step into their store, and you shouldn't either. read more

I took my mother and we both got our hair cut yesterday. My mother wanted hers cut very short from about shoulder length. I just wanted about 3 inches trimmed off the bottom of mine. No shampoos, no styling. I went to pay when we were done, and even though the sign clearly states women's hair cut $25.00, she charged me $30.00 to do my mother's hair because it required more than just a quick trim. I pointed out the sign to her, and she stated the cuts "start at $25.00". Because I only needed a trim, she charged $25.00 for mine. Because she actually had to work and do a "cut" on my mother, she charged $30.00 What a scam. We won't be back. read more

My opinion: this is the best place in town for a haircut and I have tried many different places throughout the peninsula and South Bay. I can't say my hair has ever felt better than when Mali cuts it. She is so precise and detailed, you can see this while she works. My husband and my daughter now go through this location as well for cuts. I've been here a handful of times for haircuts and once for a color that turned out absolutely gorgeous. I feel like people see this place off of El Camino and compare it to Lams while driving by. This is by far better. I've been to Lams..I've left my reviews for them (sub par). To wrap this up. Mali is great at cutting hair. You can tell it is what she loves to do. Make people feel beautiful! I am forever a loyal customer. read more

I've been going to Mali for 10 years!! She gives a perfect cut and is fantastic with color, highlights or any other hair treatment, This week, on Monday, Mali did my first Keratin treatment it it came out amazing! My hair is so soft and shiny!!! Today she did my color. I had bleached it by myself and really wanted to go back to my original color. Needless to say that you can't tell the difference from my roots to the end color. It's so natural! If you ever need a cut, color or anything hair related, Mali at Express Cut is the professional hair stylist that you need to go to. I highly recommend her, a must! read more

I am so happy that I found Express Cut. I am now a loyal customer because of the excellent service I always get there. Mali is fabulous. I look forward to her warm & sincere greeting. She listens to me about how I want my hair done. I am always happy with the hair cuts she gives me. I highly recommend Express Cut. read more

Mali is great. Went there a few years ago to fix a cut that went horribly wrong. I took my mom there for a blowout and Mali really took it to the next level. She is clean, and friendly, and always accomodates. read more

Stay away! Horrible experience. Mali the manager was really rude. I've never had such bad customer service in my life! I strongly advise you to stay away. Had several friends with the same experience as well. DO NOT BE LURED IN FROM THE GROUPONS EITHER!! read more

Mali did a great job of my partial highlight and trim. I got exactly what I was looking for and at a reasonable price. I would certainly come back or recommend to a friend. My hair is also very smooth from the deep conditioning treatment. read more

I bought a Groupon for the Keratin treatment. I haven't had my hair done in a while so I was excited about being able to relax and get pampered, but instead I just wanted it to be over. Mali is ok but she's not super friendly and doesn't not have the best customer service. I felt that every question that I had were answered with a rude response. When I was getting my hair washed I got some water on my face, and when she was brushing my hair she brushed really hard and I felt like my hair was going to just break off. I also had my hair dyed with her and I think it was very expensive for just the roots and then she just dyed the rest of the hair with a little hair dye and water left it on for 5 minutes and then washed it off. My hair looks almost the same color as when I walked it, it looks uneven. I could have done I better job dying my own hair. I think that their is room for growth specially when it comes to customer service. If a client has any type of questions regarding the process they should be answered politely. The customer pays good money to be treated well. read more

Mali is the best! She listens to you and does what you ask her to do. There has never been a time where I left her salon disappointed. Her haircuts are right on point! And her prices are very reasonable. I love getting haircuts because of her! read more

Solid service and knowledgeable of modern hair styles, I entered express cuts in somewhat of a hurry to get to SF that night. I showed Mali the image of the haircut I wanted and she said that she understood my desires. Then she turned her back walked over to the computer started playing so great music, came back and got to work on my hair. It was such a pleasant experience. I even entered the store five minutes before they closed and she gladly told me to take a seat and not worry about the fact she'd have to stay later! Highly recommended. read more

Mali, the owner, is great. She is very professional and knows what she is doing! Highly recommend!

Want to feel like an urban princess? Go here and see Mali for a haircut and color. The products they use are top of the line, the scalp massage and wash is to die for, and who doesn't want coffee or tea as a small refreshment? Mali is my stylist and she's awesome! Always welcomes me with a hug, cheers me up and talks to me as if we've known each other for years which I love. Mali is great at just knowing what will look good on me without a lot of maintenance or time in the mornings. We always talk about what I can expect and what she's thinking before we start the wash. I love the consultation part of the visit. She has amazing patience and obviously a steady hand. She's incredibly nice and also gives hugs. read more

I have been going to Chau for over 14 years. I love Chau. She takes the time to do a very thorough job. I don't have a ton of hair and she does a great job with what I got :) read more

I used the Groupon and got a color & condition. I also included a haircut, which I needed badly, this was extra. Mali did my hair and it turned out wonderful. read more

I just moved to the area, got her information from groupons. I am usually hard to please when it comes to haircuts, highlight and etc... Had been to the same Hairstylist for years and absolutely love him. I was, however, pleasantly surprised by Mali, (I believe this is her name). She immediately understood me, did a wonderful job, she is friendly and professional as well. I would definitely recommend her!!! read more

Great place for hair cut, waxing, threading, coloring, highlights, facial, hair straightening and perms and for the whole family! Mali the salon owner has a vast amount of knowledge when it comes to hair cutting and coloring and knows exactly what she is doing. I love her product line; her haircuts look absolutely beautiful. I've been going to Mali since 2008 for my hair cut, color, and highlights. Mali is a color expert - she's incredibly skilled in mixing up the right amount of shades and knows very well what would work best with your complexion, and when you need a hair cut she would provide the exact type of cut that you request. Last but not least, for the quality products that she uses including the amount of time and effort that she puts in, I believe that her pricing is super reasonable. read more
