I came in on a whim since I've been looking for a new place. My previous go-to became too pricey for what it was. When I checked in, they told me to come 40 minutes later as there were 3 people ahead of me. Made sense and I realized I should have called beforehand! I went for a quick workout and they were ready to take me at 2pm. The ladies were very nice and the person who cut my hair happened to speak cantonese so she gave me good tips on haircare and told me that my hair is so wavy that it won't stay straight despite her straightening several times. I told her what I wanted and she followed it to a tee and my haircut is so well done! For straightening hair and doing layers, it's $35 + tip. I think I found my new place to get my haircuts. read more

Stumbled across Fancy Cuts in the middle of the day and decided to give them a call. After briefly talking over the phone with an employee, I was able to get a same day appointment for a women's cut with Van. The employee + Van was really kind. My hair was in need of a long overdue trim due to breakage and split ends from being blonde. I got seated immediately upon arrival by Van. I had a dry haircut since I had just washed my hair and it took about 15-20 minutes. I'm very happy with what I requested versus what I got in the end. Thank you Van! I'll definitely be returning for my future trims. read more

I took my 2 year old for a fade & asked the lady to not cut anything from the top. She didn't do a gradual fade like I asked & she told me she was going to trim the top even tho I asked her not to. I don't think I'll return. Although he's only 2, my son sits still for haircuts, so that can't be a "reason" for it. read more

Honestly? I've had high end salon cuts all the way down to cheap cuts and I've realized that I don't really care about the extra stuff as long as the cut is even. Today, I called around 11am and they said that I can come in at noon. The shop is right off Hesperian and there's a parking lot. The shop itself is not fancy hit clean enough. I was seated as soon as I walked in. She did a dry cut. I asked for long layers and curtain bangs. I was in and out in 30 minutes. Overall, left satisfied. The one thing that would take this trip to a 3.5 would be that she flat ironed my hair without putting heat protection on it. I was cringing the entire time. Been trying to take care of my hair so it bothered me. Luckily, I used some heat protectant yesterday so I'm hoping it lasted through that. Anyway, for the price on $35. Not going to complain about that too much. I'll probably just remember to put heat protectant before I get another cut. :) read more

After 2 hair washes, my hair color has changed completely. It has turned more of a brassy chocolate brown shade, which is completely off and different from the ash grey I had asked for. It's a shame that the color quality is not good at all, but that's not the worst part. The price definitely did not reflect the work. It's embarrassing and upsetting, and I considered not putting up a photo but to help y'all make a careful decision, please see my photo. read more

I was looking for a new place to cut my hair locally and found the spot. I showed them a photo of what I wanted along with how much I wanted cut etc and Mee / Dung delivered. The we're getting a lot of phone calls for appointments so they are definitely busy and popular. Vibe was chill. I called ahead of time (morning of) and came in at 12:15. The haircut took 40min total (I came with my hair washed already). Very affordable compared to other spots ($25 for me) read more

I was a bit nervous entering the salon because it's my first time getting my hair dyed in America, but when I tell you that this salon exceeded my expectations! The process was the usual 2-3 hours, but the products the stylist used was not damaging to my hair! She did exactly what I asked for and I left the salon feeling confident and happy. The vibe was super welcoming in the salon, I felt really comfortable! I Recommend read more

I have been going to Van for years now. I absolutely love her service! She's so easy to schedule with.. Sometimes last minute even! She always delivers on exactly the color that I want and the way she styles my hair at the end is my most favorite! I always leave there feeling beautiful and confident! I've sent many friends to her. Her prices are very competitive and fair! I have never had a negative experience in all the years I've been going (about 6/7 years now)! I highly recommend you pay her a visit if you want a beautiful color, cut or hairstyle!! read more

Shoutout to Yelp for allowing me to find this place! Women's haircuts can become quite pricey depending on where you go, so I was grateful to find this place, where women's haircuts start at $20. I think because I got my bangs cut, it was an additional $5. Still such a steal! I called ahead of time to book an appointment for Friday morning but they do take walk-ins. I got my haircut by Lucy. She was friendly and sweet. My hair was long and the same length, so I asked for layers and also showed her a photo of someone else's haircut that was done here. I also asked for face framing bangs. I'm pleased with how it came out. I didn't notice until I got home that the left side was a little longer than the right side (looking from behind), but not a big deal, since it's not noticeable from the front. I would go back! read more

9/17/24 It was very quick and easy to call and make an appointment for highlight service. Binny did my highlights and they turned out beautiful! i picked out a chocolatey brown and gold highlights because i want to be able to grow out my hair without a significant color change from my natural black hair and blond outgrowth. Binny was very nice and welcoming, her service was great! The other place that i went to would charge me $350+ for highlights and take over 6 hours because i had such long and thick hair but Fancy Cuts has such affordable and reasonable pricing!! Book with Binny! I came in at 10 and we were done by 1:40pm! I will keep coming back for touch ups ‍ read more

I love Van so much. She blesses my hair every single time! I started coming here fall 2019 under recommendation from a friend and I have consistently been referring her to others since. She truly takes care of me, making sure the water is ok and I'm comfortable, being gentle with brushing my hair, and even telling me to take a nap when I doze off! I always reach out to make an appointment, even if it's just for a purple shampoo. My hair is moderately healthy for being bleached many times with Van knowing exactly how to process my hair. She even recommends products to use to help maintain it as well and I always go with what she recommends. I always get a million compliments on my hair and I'm nothing but proud to share her skills with others! read more

I've strictly been getting my hair cut and colored here for the last three years, simply because of Van and Lucy's exceptional work! Booking an appointment with them is a breeze, I'm usually able to call a week ahead and get the exact time I want, depending on the service I'm requesting. Van always knows exactly what to do with my hair, I don't even have to show her photos as examples of what I want! For a full balayage, it took around 5ish hours on my medium-length hair. Van and Lucy work quickly and thorough, while making sure I'm comfortable at each step. After the final wash and dry, I always ask for soft waves and leave the salon looking amazing! They also walk me through at-home hair care, suggest products, and follow up treatments. If you are like me and have naturally jet-black hair and had trouble finding a hair stylist/colorist, look no further and book an appointment with them! They also have some of the fairest prices in the bay area :) Even after moving 40 min away, I will continue to only come here to get my hair done. read more

I have been getting my haircut by the same woman for 10+ years. She is unfortunately on a long vacation and I was in desperate need for a haircut. My hair was extremely dry, I had a lot of split ends and the blonde that I have been growing out for months was really brassy. I was ready for a cut. I went on Yelp and found fancy cuts and after reading the reviews I decided to give it a try and I am so happy I did! Lucy did an amazing job with my hair. After showing her a few pics of how I wanted my hair she got to work. She straightened my hair first and then cut it. My haircut was pretty quick and the price was great as well. If you see a little bit of blonde in my picture that is because I didn't want my hair to be super short. Lucy was very attentive and listened to my requests. I'm so happy I found a new place to get my hair cut :) read more

Came in for a balayage with Van a year ago based on Yelp reviews and a year later, I have grown to trust Van and Mee with my daughter and my hair! I get monthly touch ups, got a second balayage, a trim and decided to add a hot oil treat. They take down your name, note-take your previous visit, hair color number to make your next visits better than the first. Their commitment to their customers made me trust them with my my family's hair needs. I highly recommend this business as Van, Mee and their other staff very talented. read more

Let me start off by saying that I was a bit hesitant to having to find a salon that will do my hair. I get it cut once every couple of years so it's hard to stick with one person. After searching all salons in my area I wanted to find someone with a high score and good reviews. I found Fancy Cuts on Hesperian. I walked in, did not make an appointment and Lucy took me right away. I explained what I wanted and showed an old picture of myself. I'm not picky but I was tired of my long hair. I explained I wanted it all chopped off with an A-line and color with a section of bleach. She did such an amazing job! After cutting down a section she checked with me on the length and baby I wanted shorter and that is just what she did. Amazing! I flippin love it! I will definitely be back and hopefully sooner than in a couple years. I mean it, if I could give 10 stars I would! It was the best haircut and color I have gotten in a while! Thank you Lucy and thank you Van for accommodating me when I needed to charge my phone. Y'all are epic! read more

I just had a baby and was going through postpartum hair loss so I spontaneously decided to go get a mommy cut. Went on Yelp and found the closest hair salon to me. I called for an appointment and they were able to get me in the next morning. Came in and James attended to me. I showed him the haircut I wanted to go for. He started cutting A LOT of my hair which I was so nervous about. Throughout the whole process, James didn't say much but he understood the assignment because the end result was amazing. I LOVE MY NEW HAIR CUT! Thank you so much James. Don't sleep on this place y'all. It's a hidden gem. And you'll love the prices even more.I sent two of my sisters here already and they both got great haircuts from James. read more

Fast, efficient, affordable, clean. I cannot say enough good things about this place. It seems like everyone has their own barber they are accustomed to. My go-to barber is Binny. She always takes care of me. I've been going to major barber shops my entire life. Once I gave Binny a try, she changed my perspective about trying new places. She's extremely accurate and has all the tools to make my hair sharp and "wedding" ready for all occasions. I'd highly recommend trying this place and asking for Binny :) read more

Really liked how well she took her time and was very professional and knowledgeable . Did wonderful job on my hair. Very impressed. Thank you Binny read more

Van never disappoints! Been going to her for a few years! When I'm unable to book her (she's popular and I travel a lot for work) I would go somewhere else and get disappointed. Recently I went to Chicago and got my hair done there. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED! I flew back to get my hair done from Van since my birthday was coming up too and my fam is in the Bay Area. She never disappoints and always fixes my hair (twice now) whenever I get it done somewhere else. I told her I'm only going to see her now, only. No matter how far I am thanks for everything Van! read more

* I need attention * If I can give Van 10 stars, I'll totally give it to her. She's the best of the best. Before, I was addicted to change my hair color all the time, and I finally decided to let my hair get healthy again with black hair. Honestly, black hair isn't my style, which made me look so old. I asked Van if she had any recommendation for me with different hair color but I didn't want to do Silver color again just because I wanna do something different this time. Guess what!! She did my hair to brow color, and I can't even believe it. I look so so so much better than before lol. I meant I look so much younger and of course my hair is pretty much healthier as well. I love my hair so much !!! Come to this place and request Van for your hair stylist, u won't ever regret it !!! Trust me !! read more

Made an appointment to get a balayage by van on a Thursday afternoon since her saturdays were all booked 2 weeks out. I told van that I wanted an ash brown/blonde color and showed her pictures, and she nailed the color! Van was nice and very meticulous with her work. She offered me water because I was sitting there for a while. My hair was $190 before tip. read more

The hair cut was OK, but the hairdresser didn't seem verbal or communicative; she was not able to suggest any hair styles at all, so there was a communication problem. I have very short hair and just had a haircut recently but came to Fancy Cuts to fix it, as the previous hairdresser didn't do the style I wanted. The hairdresser at Fancy Cuts did an OK job, but charged me $25 for a very simple haircut, despite the sign that said $18 up. I asked why it's $25 and she said that it's because I am a woman. I swear that men at that place got much better haircuts cheaper, and I was paying extra just for being a woman, despite my very short hair when I came to her. When I pointed out the sign with $18 up, the hairdresser lowered the price to $20, but the whole situation left me with bad taste in my mouth. Also, Jim who was excellent doesn't work there anymore so I am not sure if I am going to frequent this place! read more

I called the salon and scheduled an appointment for the next day. Van was very honest and told me she was unsure about how light she could get my hair in one visit. James helped Van with the process and they were both very nice. My hair looks different in different lighting but I am so happy with the end result!! read more

Love this place! Van is super sweet!!! I came in with grown out blonde hair... I was tired of dead hair at that point! I told her I wanted to grow it out but I had an awkward and ugly line of blonde where my roots grew out, as if an earthquake split the earth. So I wanted to chop most of it off (it was grown out to my lower back) and fix the color so it blends better. She did super good and my visit was pretty short!! Maybe an hour? The price is pretty sweet as well! I'll definitely be back! Thank you so much, Van! ---------- UPDATE: Got my hair redone today! I was gonna grow it out to my normal natural black hair.... but missed the blonde so much. I always show Van pictures and tell her exactly what I like and dislike and she always gets it right! I'm a very happy customer and will keep coming back! She prices fairly, too.... unlike many salons in the Bay Area. read more

I went here for a straight cut and curtain bangs. I was needing a haircut after messily cutting my own hair to a medium length when I was recovering from COVID in mid-January. My hair was way too long and it needed to get out of my way lol. Lucy was working with my hair today and she paid great attention to getting my bangs even. She asked me a number of times if I was okay with how things looked and was very gentle with brushing/combing; some places they pull at your ends.. I literally just showed her a few pictures of what I wanted and she got it down just by taking a glance at them! I'm very satisfied with how my haircut turned out :) read more

Van gave me my favorite pandemic haircut a while ago and yesterday, she helped me ring in my 30th birthday with a mushroom brown balayage. Highly recommend her as she's very skilled, gentle, and communicated throughout the process. After the first toning, it was more gray than I wanted and she was happy to re-tone it to a more ashey brown (Pictures don't do it justice). Pricing is pretty cheap for great quality work. read more

I was on yelp Friday night and walked in the next morning (12/08/18) around 11:30am. I was seated immediately. I asked for "lots of layers" and didn't show a picture or anything. I was even open to going a little shorter--but basically said "whatever you think, just lots of layers" and she worked her magic. The before and after pic show a huge difference, as you can see. My hair now looks super smooth and healthy. The layers were so drastic that when I was sitting in the chair, I kind of freaked out a little because the front looked really short... THANKFULLY it's just part of the layers and my end length is still pretty long. My lady went above and beyond to not only cut my hair professionally but to also style it. I walked out feeling like a brand new person. Love this place and love the price even more!.... it was ONLY 20 bucks! By far, the BEST place I've gone to cut my hair. read more
