Just came from an amazing fun haircut for my 2 year son from Habibbi's. All the staff is amazing, but Ines (owner) provided the haircut today and was patient and great with toddlers. They do haircuts and coloring for all, but experience for this review is solely on the kids haircuts. read more

Inez is a master colorist! I am so happy with my beautiful multi-colored hair. It exceeded my wildest expectations. I asked for 3 colors, but she actually used 5 (2 shades of pink, 2 blue, and 1 purple), and blended and layered them in such a complex, amazing way. I was just expecting a simplistic outcome of colored pieces of hair, but she blended them all in with my in-dyed hair so that it will look great even as it grows out and fades. I am thrilled - thank you Inez!!! read more

I have been wanting a certain hair style for a while but haven't had the time to get it done. I'm visiting my mother in Menlo Park (I currently live in San Francisco) and Habibi's is right around the corner from my mother's place. My boyfriend did some internet research, saw it was highly rated and told me to get the cut/style I wanted since I was here anyway. I'm so glad I did! Ines was my stylist. I told her I was extremely nervous since it was a pretty big change and she was very nice trying to distract me and take my mind off what was happening. About halfway through I saw what a great job she was doing, my anxiety completely went away and I had a huge smile on my face the rest of the time. She really listened to what I wanted and did an excellent job in executing my requests. I love that Ines really makes sure you know what you're getting into with certain styles, letting you know ahead of time what will be required to maintain it, making sure you really want to go through with it, and giving you instruction on what you need to do. The receptionist/assistant and other stylist were also very nice. In the beginning of my cut, I was actually double teamed by both Ines and the other stylist. I never had 2 people work on my hair at once, I felt like a queen, haha. Anyway, I highly recommend going here even if it isn't in your immediate vicinity. I am so grateful I went and I will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much Ines! read more

Wonderful experience with our neighborhood hair salon as always. Now due to Covid I know Ines has taken every precaution possible including a deluxe tent in the back of her salon. I'm super thankful to have her close by and appreciate her service, expert creative work and and taken every precaution possible to safely make our appointments as easy as possible. Hope she's around for a long time to come. read more

2 hair cuts, 2 happy me's! Excellent. Definitely go check this place out. Misha actually gets Asian male hair. She does a great job with my hair. She's really open to feedback. She doesn't make you feel like she's in a rush. She's okay with taking multiple rounds of feedback. And, she's a pleasure to talk to. Love it. This is my new haircut spot after much looking around in the Palo Alto area. It took me a few years to find a place I feel like I could recommend. read more

Omg!! Can I just say that Misha did my hair and my makeup for my daughters wedding. It was beautiful and when I had to give a speech the make up didn't run. When I danced all night my hair still stayed in place, great job!! read more

Ines and all the stylists at Habibi's are absolutely wonderful! The products they offer for after-care are affordable and high quality. I love coming here for just a nice blowout & styling before events or a good cut. Recently, I made a big change with my hairstyle and Deisy was incredibly patient with my anxiety about the change and requests. I have very long, dyed coarse hair and they know how to take such good care of it. Ines is constantly learning and taking courses on all kinds of hairstyles, coloring techniques, and cuts. She's very advanced and practiced in her skill sets. read more

Thank you YELP (and a local Palo Alto parent list serve) for introducing us to this hidden gem, a cute, friendly, and affordable salon! Both of my boys (husband and toddler) walked away with fabulous haircuts by Ines. Ines was incredibly patient with my toddler who had a cow during the cut. And she cut my husband's hair just the way I love it which is short but not "I'm-off-to-war" short. Coffeeshop next door and a tasty taqueria a couple of doors down! read more

Deizy did a great job with my hair! Washed, cut, and curled! I feel truly pampered. The price of a haircut at Habibi's is pretty reasonable when there are salons in the area with haircuts costing up to $100 dollars. I had a little critique about my bangs and she fixed it with no hesitation. She said she has the same problem with her bangs and totally knew how to make it better. Here's the bottom line: easy to book, good prices, friendly staff, good service and in my neighborhood. read more

Obnoxious to walk-ins. The lady looked at her appointment book, which I can see is empty (and so is her salon), and said she's too busy to accommodate a haircut. I surmised she only caters to regulars. read more

Excellent for men's haircuts, and places like this can be hard to find. I came away better looking than when I went in, enough said!

I don't usually review businesses but need to give these people the kudos they deserve. I bring my kids here all the time for their cuts while I have traveled afar to to pay more than necessary for a hairstyle that no one noticed anyway. Fear of change I suppose. Last week, I had Mary cut and color my hair, and for the first time in a long time I have an edgy and original look that still looks great a week later. Mary and Ines have a collaborative style which made me feel very secure with my choices. Mary told me that she had defied cultural convention and family expectations to pursue her love of hairdressing. If that alone doesn't persuade you... read more

STOP! All guys in the Bay Area that are looking for someone that can cut an awesome fade, you have to go see Mari at Habibi Salon. For the last couple of months, I have been on a mad hunt to find someone that can cut a perfect fade cut. My old hair dresser left town, and I have been getting butchered by various barbers/hairdressers in the Bay Area. (Can't tell you which locations as that is not fair to other companies!) I am super specific on how I like my haircut, so when I post a compliment, please take note. I am so happy I have finally found someone that can cut my hair how I like it. The price is just right as well...you shouldn't have to pay a ton for a good men's haircut. I have gone that rout before, and have always been upset with the end result. Go see Mari. You will only thank me for it I promise. Corey read more

Habibi's Salon is an exceptional place! I have been going there for many many years. I completely trust Ines and her kind team to perform magic every single time! Thank you once again Ines for this amazing haircut! You are the very best! read more

Love this place. Started to take my kids there since it is close to home and loved the results. Had my hair cut the next time too and was so happy with it that I decided to leave my old hairdresser in Redwood City. When I decided to stop highlighting my hair I asked Ines to dye it back to my original color. She did an amazing job. It's now 4 months later and my hair looks great and you would never think it was colored. Maria is also really great, she cut my hair and my kids, always with great results. read more

Got to love that Habibi's Salon. Great service, reasonable price, family like atmosphere. Glad I found this place. read more

I had to get up at 6 am (poor me) to catch an appointment with Inez who was otherwise really booked. She was very nice, made sure she knew what I wanted, looked at my pictures, and gave me a great haircut! I also appreciated that she was NOT pushy about selling me any products. read more

The haircuts in this salon are top-notch and very affordable. I'm a regular and I don't mind getting a different stylist from time to time, because I know that they will always cut and style my hair the way I want. Not only all of Habibi's stylists are talented, but they are also super friendly. Ines (the salon owner) will often try to arrange something in case she is fully booked. Also there is a really cool cafe next to it in case you need to wait for your appointment... read more

Toddler Hair Cut: I've taken my kid to a kid's cut place but this place was much better as they actually consider the style, whereas kids' places we've been to just kind of trim away. Our stylist took time to look through different styles and applied as much technique to my toddler's hair as a stylist would for an adult haircut. They are also very kind and professional. They were so patient with my squirmy kid, offering different options to help keep her in place (in the little red truck chair, in a booster or on my lap), and had plenty of distractions, as well as stickers at the end :). In general, great people, professional service and good technique. I think I'll be back for a haircut of my own! read more

Wow! Superb service, conscience staff, healthy and organic hair care: what more could you ask for? I tried this place originally because it was close to home but now I would readily travel miles for the services! Finally, a talented group who works wonders with organic hair dye. I decided to try their new organic hair dye with some trepidation but I am truly amazed with the results. The ladies matched my existing color exactly while adding much needed high and low lights. I am hooked. No smell, no irritation, wonderful results. Every salon could learn something from Habibi's proprietor, Ines. She's a true professional running a high-end services shop in a very comfortable setting and at reasonable prices. Look no further. Make an appointment at Habibi's. You won't be disappointed! read more

Men, women, and kids--Habibi's does it all. Ines takes her time to get the cut just right, listens to her clients, and provides suggestions if you want them. Nice people and great haircuts and styling. read more

I've been coming here for 5+ years to get my hair cut, and I've always been more than satisfied with the work of Ines and her team. She is willing to give advice and her own opinion or listen to what you want. As a guy I can vouch for their ability to trim a stylish men's haircut, don't be turned away by the idea of getting a haircut at a salon. They cut your hair here better than any barber could. read more

Wonderful workers who were accommodating and helpful. They gave me tips for the future and spent the time to show me examples of different hair cuts that would best benefit me. read more

Very friendly staff but I got a really bad haircut and look like a minion now. I think the stylist misunderstood what I asked for. The upside is my wife gets a good laugh every time she sees me. read more

Fabulous experience! Lupita greeted me warmly and put me at ease right away. I hadn't had a haircut in a long time and she talked through her process with me and asked all the right questions (hair type, styling, etc.) I walked out of the salon extremely happy and excited about my new cut. Thank you, Lupita! read more

This is an absolute gem of a salon. Ines has recently cut my hair and done my hair for my wedding. In both cases she did an awesome job at a fraction of the price of most salons in the area. In the case of the hair for my wedding she did a trial with her assistant (also awesome) where she tried out two different styles, and was appropriately assertive in advising on what would work and what wouldn't with my hair. The end result was simply gorgeous....it stayed in place all day, and I have had dozens of compliments on how great it looked. She also played around with the flowers for my hair so they looked just right. I cannot recommend Habibis highly enough. Not only do they do a great job of cutting and styling, they are also extremely reasonably priced, and Ines is delightful at fitting in anyone who wants to have their hair cut, even if it isn't completely convenient for her. read more

Family is a regular here but the last two times had less than a desirable experience. Last time the stylist didn't give my son the cut that we asked for and this time, despite making an appointment, had to wait for 25mins - no excuse! Need to really question their service now that they're busier and have added more stylists. read more

Yet another five star review for this wonderful salon! My hair is thin and was long and drab looking, grey and lifeless. I normally cut my own hair but this time, I couldn't think of what to do with it. After a thorough consultation with Lupita, who is lovely, she came up with the idea of low-lights and a layered cut. The result was amazing - so much better than I imagined it could ever be! read more

I've lived between SF and the Peninsula for the last 10 years and have been searching for the perfect salon. Finally, a few months ago a friend recommended Habibi's. On my first appointment, I took the plunge and chopped my hair. I walked away with the BEST bob. It truly is my favorite haircut (which is saying a lot, because chopping off your long hair and going short is always tough). I was even able to text with the staff after my appointment so I could find the best curling iron to replicate the beachy waves they created. I was so thrilled that I went back last week and again, walked away with the best haircut I've ever had, hair styling tips, and a video of their curling iron technique. On top of the incredible cut and styling, the owner, Ines, is the sweetest lady you'll ever meet, and the prices are the best value I've found. I can't wait to try out color next. Thanks, Habibi's! read more

Ines cuts my hair and is fabulous. I have short hair - think modified pixie cut - where accuracy is very important. Prices are fair and worth every penny. read more

This place is not fancy or "high end" but delivers great service. I was there for a keratin treatment about 2 weeks ago and was a bit nervous when I first walked in. I'm from NYC and am accustomed to a slightly different atmosphere. When I walked into the salon here there were two teenagers getting their haircut... Not the same clientele I typically see back home. It is striking how family oriented this place is, complete with a chair especially for kids haircuts. What struck me even more was that everyone was on a first name basis... They obviously are a neighborhood spot with repeat clients... To me this is a very good sign. They steadily got busier and busier the longer I sat there, so I was happy I had called for an appointment. The keratin treatment itself was great. They use a fantastic product which I asked about before I mad e the appointment. The salon owner is very hospitable, offering me water then tea (hot black peach tea from the spot next door which was to die for). And when I left the salon she gave me a travel size shampoo and conditioner that she thought would be good for my hair for FREE!!!! She was right... I bought the full size product as soon as I ran out of the ones she gave me. These ladies know their business and they are fantastic. read more

i lost a lot of hair 3 months postpartum. i know women that have lost hair, but i lost lots...like bald spots. not the morale booster i needed! then, as it grew back, it looked even worse because it was all crazy and sticking up. the rest of my hair didn't look its best either; dry, needed a cut. so i went to see ines and got the keratin treatment and a cut. i LOVE it. makes my hair so much easier to do! less dry time and it looks so smooth and a lot healthier. totally worth the money. read more

My new favorite spot for hair cuts. Marie is really a good hairdresser.

This is a great place if you want to feel like a fool. I asked for a simple haircut, just clean up the back...I wasn't thrilled she did this with my hair still dry, but trusted her. Well, after paying and tipping nicely, thinking Yay, this is cute.....got home and took the customary shower after a haircut, looked in the bathroom mirror with a hand mirror, and really??? the haircut is uneven and best part yet? a little bald spot. Thanks for making me feel like a fool. I would not recommend this place. read more

Got a great men's haircut here from Mary. Great rates for men at $25 for a scissor cut. Far better than the local Super Cuts over on El Camino (I tried them 3-4 times). Spend the extra $8 or so, it's worth it. read more

My new favorite. Ines was very friendly, listened to what I wanted, did a great job cutting my hair, and curled it as an extra little surprise which was really fun. And it was quite reasonable. I'll be going back, and think you should go too! read more

Fabulous hair cuts -- Inez knows what she is doing and I have never left the salon disatasified -

Edit: went back for another haircut. After some logistical annoyance (their hours weren't available online), I managed to get in and had another wonderful experience. This place is very, very highly recommended. read more

My wife and I bring our 2 year old here for his haircuts and it is fantastic! Mary is very patient with him and does an amazing job even when he's wriggling around :) I used to get my haircut in downtown PA, but since we've been very happy with our sons haircuts I decided to get mine done here too. Mary gave me a fantastic haircut and my son stayed occupied with the toy trucks! This is now my new favorite local business and I will be coming here from now on. Check it out, you won't be disappointed! read more
