Tim fixed my hair a day after I got it done at another salon.let me tell you nothing could fix my hair it was orange brassy and singed from another salon but I went in and Tim was so confident. I showed him my original Pinterest picture and he got right to it!!!!! If I lived here he would be my permanent hair stylist!!!!!! This little place is clean fun and they give great customer service. I met the owner and she even said she only hires the best. It's a new salon and has only been open 5 months but once word gets around about this hair and nail salon it will be booming! Seriously stop looking for salons and just go here!!!! read more

First Look Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Gatos, California

I would give zero if I could. I packed all 3 of my boys into the car to get haircuts-which if you have children, you know that is a task in itself! We get there and wait. No biggie. The boys play and I'm watching them-they are being good! They walk over to the little water fountain and with out even touching it these two woman jump out like ninjas yelling don't touch! Mind you I don't need help parenting my children I totally had the situation under control. Additionally at this point we had been waiting about 20 minutes and given their ages I felt like they were being pretty patient! I collected my little beings and left. Not a good feeling. We won't go somewhere and pay for a service to be treated like that. Don't bring kids here-they have no patience. read more

I've been going to Darren for over two years. He's consistent, attentive, and technical in his cuts. He's very client focused; you'll look great right after your haircut and for weeks after until your next appointment. Hair is definitely a work of art for him. I'd definitely recommend checking his place out! read more

It's really difficult to find a hairdresser that suits your taste and looks. I'm so glad that first look salon moved to our area and had my 1st hair cut with Evon. I loved how she cut my hair with precision and styled it the way i want! It was perfect! Of course, i loved how welcoming the staff were and the owner herself! I would recommend it 100% not to mention the place is truly clean and spacious! I'd be back for mani and pedi! read more

First Look Salon - Beautiful red violet balayage ombre done by Nancy my daughter was so happy with the results. We'll definitely be back. - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Gatos, California

See all

Really great spot! Jenni and Nancy are both really sweet AND accommodating- especially given my 15 min heads up that I was on the way. Jenni was great when cutting/ styling my hair. She was very communicative and took her time to get the cut just right. I wanted long layers, which some other salons take to mean chop off everything; but Jenni managed to give me layers and length!! Prices are SUPER reasonable for the quality of the job- $25 for wash, cut, and style. It's a full service salon with mani, pedi, waxing, etc. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Nancy gave me a fabulous haircut a few days ago. I brought photos from a magazine, and she reviewed them with me, asking me questions about the length of the bangs, how I wear my hair, and so on. I told her I wear it both curly and straight, and let her know how I wear the bangs. She gave me a terrific cut, taking care not to cut it too short, so when I wore it curly it wouldn't look silly. I even asked her to cut some of the layers shorter and she said I shouldn't because it wouldn't look right when my hair was worn curlier. She was spot on! It has been 3 days since my hair cut and I've worn it wavy, curly and straight. In all cases, my hair looked great. Nancy is a skillful hairstylist. She told me she has been cutting hair for more than 25 years. The salon is lovely inside, and parking is plentiful. Nancy is warm and was on time. I'll be back. read more

Nancy and her co workers are really nice i love comming here they make me feel comfortable good prices and i died my hair here did a really good job read more

I stopped by here last night and wanted to check out this salon. It's very close to my home. I met Nancy and she asked what I needed and I mentioned that I needed my nails done (gel) and she invited me inside and she did them for me without an appointment! She did a fabulous job! Nancy is a sweet, caring person who's quick at what she does, but she doesn't rush you. She and I enjoyed getting acquainted and I had a wonderful experience! Her prices are very reasonable and she gave me a business card with a discount of $10 after 10 visits. The card also has discounts on the way to the 10th visit. Very clever idea! The salon is beautiful and is a showcase of Asian pride. I hope it will always be this way even a few months from now. I'll be coming back again and again for my nails. I may even try out the other services too! Highly recommend this salon! read more

I love this salon- it is clean, everyone is super friendly, and I always leave looking and feeling fabulous.

First Look Salon - Brown and red ombre balayage! - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Gatos, California

First time looking for a place to do my nails and found this place at a walking distance. I really loved the quality of service and can't beat the prize. I decided to asked for a hair cut and had Amazing results. My boyfriend loved the fresh look! I would definitely recommend this heading jewel of a place to anybody. read more

This was my first time coming to this salon. I got a pedicure and it was fantastic! The salon is very clean and provides a relaxing atmosphere. I appreciate the fact that they do not try to sell you on other services (like most salons). Nancy is very pleasant. I will definitely be coming back. read more

The woman (seemed to be the owner) cut my hair very short. When I sat down on the chair, I mentioned "leave 3 inches". She asked me what that means and if she should use blade #3. I explained to her that I would like my hair cut so that the length of the hair that remains is 3 inches. I also said "whatever you do, don't cut it too short". She takes a trimmer runs it across the side of my scalp and asks "is that ok?". That trimmer cropped the hair leaving only half-inch or so. I was stunned; I didn't know what to say. Long story short, she ended up cutting my hair super short. Most of my colleagues at office had a hearty laugh looking at my hair cut. I don't know what they teach in hair cutting school, but the first rule is/ought to be that you don't start cutting the customer's hair until you understand what (s)he wants. This salon failed big time at that. The person doing the hair cut used a bunch of instruments from a drawer labelled "soiled". When I asked her about it, she mumbled something that I didn't quite understand. But it didn't look right to me. The shampoo following the haircut (done by another woman) was great. It was much more thorough than at other places. So, thumbs up for that. The price for the haircut + shampoo was pretty reasonable too. read more

Great place. Super clean. I had my hair cut there about a month ago--Nancy was great! today I decided to get a pedicure (to my fellow brothers, you have no idea what you are missing). They spoiled me Nancy cut and colored my hair (she made the gray disappear) yesterday. Today I received two compliments on my hair. Thank You Nancy!!! read more

New Location is very nice and modern. They always treat me right at First Look Salon !

My wife took our daughter to the First Look Salon (was recommended by a neighbor) and was thrilled with their "girl's day out." The salon was clean and staff really friendly and accommodating. read more

Went in for the first time and had pink and white nails done. The people were very friendly and nice. The gal that did my nails (Annie) was a bit rough on my nails and tended to over sand/drill them. She even hurt me at one time. The looks were ok except one nail where the cuticle looked terrible. The charged me $30.00 Then one nail fail off in less than a week and I went in and had redone. Most places would have done it for free but she charged me $5.00. Wont go back to this place again. read more

Annie is great! I love her work! I would follow her anywhere she goes. I highly recommend this place.

DISAPPOINTED!!! I so wanted to like this place but I am really sad and disappointed in their service. I am not ready to give my and my family/friends business to folks who don't have trust and respect for their customer. We just moved into the area and was looking for a salon for me and my mom. I walked in to get eyebrows waxed for my mom and my manicure-pedicure. I left the salon with a smile as I liked the color that I chose and also the ladies who did my nails. However, when I stepped out of the salon and saw my nails in the sunlight, I noticed that there were multiple uneven patches on my nails and they just looked so bad. I am sure that I could have done a better job at it than what I got done from "professionals". FYI, I always get my nails done at a salon as I never have patience and time to do them myself at home. As I said, I wanted to like the salon badly so I called them the next day and asked them if they are willing to fix my nails.The lady who picked up my call gave me a time on the following day to come to the salon. I tried to arrange for my daughter to be picked up my someone from her daycare and left early from the work to get my nails fixed. When I reached there, the lady who did my nails approached me with a smile and asked me to sit on a manicure chair to get them fixed. Another lady approached and said in her RUDE tone (in front of other customers) that you would have to pay $5 to get them fixed. Also, she just kept talking without giving me a chance to talk at all and essentially proved that I am a liar and trying to take advantage of them. Instead of feeling apologetic for doing such a terrible job and making your customer going through the trouble of making another visit, you have the nerves to talk to your customer in such a tone - SAD!!! I felt humiliated for damn $5. I don't care about it - I was anyway going to tip that amount to the lady who was going to fix my nails but her tone really pissed me off. I was, in fact, feeling bad that they would have to do it again so I was planning to get something else done as well during my visit. As they say, Its not what you say but its how you say it! I hope she learns from this experience. read more

Nancy is amazing!!! I receive so many compliments on my new cut and highlights. She took the time to consult with the color I wanted and let me know some of the colors that would not go over well with my skin tone. I gave her some pictures of hair styles I wanted but due to my face shape it would not go well so I just told her basically to do what was best and the color and cut came out really well. Iwould highly recommend this salon to my friends. read more
