I went to Hair by the Bay in Seaside today and had my hair cut by Parvin. She is a very talented hair stylist, a delight to talk to but more importantly very skilled in cutting hair. I would highly recommend her to anyone but particularly to men like me looking for a solid haircut. The salon is a little humble but clean and the staff are friendly and very good at cutting hair. I'm a 62 year old man, have a job in which I must present myself to students, colleagues, and professional associations. The COVID restrictions, while very understandable to me, made taking care of my appearance challenging. Since buying a home in the area, I have been holding off switching from an expensive salon in another area. I am very happy that I found Hair by the Bay on Fremont in Seaside and in particular that I was able to get my hair cut by Parvin, whom I highly recommend. Did I mention that the haircut cost less than half of what the expensive salon job cost? And it looks exactly as good? read more

She was super kind but she ended up cutting 5 inches instead of the two we discussed I also wanted short bangs and she just trimmed the first pieces. I only wanted a trim and she added layers to the back and I have very thin hair, I'm super sad I came in excited for a trim and came out with a whole new short hair :( I should have told her multiple times instead of once read more

I went to Parvin today for the first time and had an amazing experience! She was knowledgeable, kind, and talented. She was also very quick to call or text, and even took me in the same day for a root touchup. Her prices were reasonable and she did a wonderful job! She was very quick and efficient and seemed to use high-end products. I have finally found my go-to hair person!! read more

Parvin is patient, she doesn't rush and listens to what you want . I was nervous going to someone new but I'm glad I took the chance. Will be returning. read more

I went to Parvin because my hair was in desperate need of some care, as I hadn't been to a salon in a long time. Well I asked for blonde highlights and Parvin delivered!! My hair looks absolutely amazing and I get compliments on it all the time now! Parvin is very very sweet and she does amazing work. She worked so hard to get the color just right! 5/5 please go see her! You won't be disappointed! Prices are also reasonable, I believe I paid $200 with tip. read more

I called Sunday for a same-day service and she got me in right away. I got a color and highlight and haircut and it came out phenomenal.

Hair By Parvin - Color and highlights - Hair Stylists Near Me - Seaside, California

AN ABSOLUTE LIFE SAVER!! my hair was about 10 different shades of orange and yellow after getting it done somewhere else saturday night, and I knew I needed it fixed by tuesday. went in and came out with what I had wanted originally in under 3 hours:) the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and my stylist was an absolute dream! i felt so much better just sitting in her chair. all the bleach/lightening done on saturday made my hair feel like it was going to crack in half but after that and the bit today, my hair feels healthy and hydrated. I am not going anywhere else for anything in regards to my hairthank you, thank you, thank you! read more

Parvin did a fantastic job on my hair. She did multiple sessions of bleach and toner to bring it from an orange color to a great blonde color. She really takes her time and cares about the client. read more

Hair By Parvin - Hair Stylists Near Me - Seaside, California

I don't know why she got so many good reviews but I unfortunately didn't have a good experience with her. I told her and showed pictures of highlight I wanted to do, and my hair came out completeley different color than the pictures. I had to dye my hair 3 days after by myself because I just hated the color she put. I wished she communicates better. Plus, usually when you dye your hair, they rinse and shampoo your hair really good but she only rinsed my hair like 3 seconds and I still felt there was something chemical in my hair. Total disgusting. Also the salon was very disgusting and hair, dust every where. I wanted to go straight home when I walked in. All the good reviews must be written her friends and family. Disappointed, unprofessional, I'll not recommend her. read more

Parvin is excellent at her job. She's very sweet and nice. My hair transformation journey; I have an Asian natural jet black hair. It's very dark that everyone thought I dyed it black. For a change, I wanted to go blonde. I have been dreaming and obsessing about it. So I scoured the internet, calling every salon in Monterey, Marina, Seaside, and Salinas. The responses from these other salons were discouraging to me. Though they're all nice and seemed accommodating at the beginning, they all ended up not responding after sending them my current hair picture. (I wasn't surprised, but leaving me on read, or after consultation they never called back was kind of... a waste of everybody's time. At least say no you can't do it). My expectations weren't high since even in Asia, they almost always say "No, what you want is impossible let's try a different color." I found Parvin on Yelp. Went to the salon in Seaside 20 minutes before closing. Showed her the picture that I wanted. She looked at it, looked at my hair, asked if it's naturally black and I said yes it is. I was already prepared she was going to say No. And she was like, "yeah I can do it. No problem." I was like, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm sure honey." Imagine the happiness and excitement I felt that day. To those considering going to Parvin for Hair extensions: -Show her your hairgoals picture/s -You need about 2 (non- consecutive) days available to get this done. A day for your hair color, a day for your hair extension installation. - She doesn't have the hair extension, you have to buy it yourself. It's up to you where you would want to buy it from,/but she would tell you what kind to get. She told me to get it from Olympia beauty supply because your girl wanted it done Asap. I could've bought online but I wasn't willing to wait. -She only accepts Cash. But if you have Zelle pay through your bank account (instant money transfer) I think she does that too. *not sure just ask her* -Her prices wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. Very affordable compared to other salons around here. -She would work on your hair all by herself; no assistant, so it's only understandble that it gets messy in there. Give her a break -The hair extensions can be re-used depending on how you take care of it. 3 to 6 months? P.S. She did my eyelashes too and I'm now forever going to her for it. Thanks Parvin! See you very soon. Lot's of love. I will upload pictures too. Go check it out. read more

When i first came to Parvin, I was looking for someone to fix my hair. I had disastrous highlights that made me look like a tiger..I looked around Yelp for someone who had reputable reviews. I called the number for Parvin in the morning, and she was able to see me immediately. Parvin was able to blend the highlights more naturally and saved my hair! Since then, I've only gone to Parvin. Anytime i bring her a new style I want to try, I just show her a picture, and she absolutely delivers! She is always very responsive, and listens to what I want. She's the best! Thank you, Parvin! read more

Parvin is amazing!!! She was so kind and explained the whole process to me (trying to get the red out of my hair without having to bleach it all). Love my new hair color! read more

Parvin is always the best. This morning I was waiting at the door as she arrived to open the shop. Before putting her bag down she had me in the chair. One minute later the clipper was buzzing. I'm fortunate to have found Parvin years ago. So skillful, so friendly. Special attention and an honest concern for customer satisfaction. Thank you Parvin. read more

I was a little hesitant coming here. I really had a desire for a haircut and a major look upgrade on a Sunday (which is 1 of 2 days most women have off from work....so more places SHOULD be open). I kept looking up places online and NOTHING was open! I decided to just take a drive and maybe grab some lunch. Suddenly, I came across this place that was open to walk-ins! I looked up reviews and saw it was decent enough, so I figured I'd give it a try (worst case scenario I would just go to a fancy overpriced salon and have them fix my hair if I was dissatisfied.) I sat and waited and saw only men waiting for haircuts...this made me more nervous, because I didn't want some random barber cutting my hair. Finally, it was my turn. I took a big leap of faith and told the stylist what I wanted and she was AMAZING!!! She was so incredibly sweet and didn't make the whole process uncomfortable. I showed her a few pics of what I had in mind and she said OK! She also gave me advice on how I should modify my request based on my hair type and it wasn't even upsetting. She made what I wanted work for ME! I completely recommend this place! This salon was a gem found on a random excursion. It's cash only, but I guarantee you get high-end salon quality at an affordable price! read more

Well, the only good thing about this place is the price, it is cheap. The hairdresser was super nice and everything. Unfortunately, they do not seem to understand what the word 'short' means. I wear a very short haircut. So I walked in, showed the photos of what I wanted, asked if they could do it. The result was awful - very far from what I wanted, the hair remained much longer than I wanted, the left side and the right side of the head were uneven, the right temple was 1/2 inch longer than the left temple, so i had to fix it myself. I am giving 2 stars only because of the prices and the kindness of the hairdresser. read more

Great service! Parvin is a sweetheart. She did a good job of coloring my hair with highlights. I eill definitely go back.

She is a nice and professional lady. I'm very happy with my haircut. I recommend this place read more

I am so pleased to have found Parvin at Hair by the Bay! She is very talented, professional, warm and welcoming. She gives me exactly the haircuts I request and also gives me good tips on what might suit me. I always look forward to seeing her. Another plus: her prices are surprisingly affordable. My husband now goes to see Parvin for haircuts, too, and I would recommend her to anyone! read more

To say Parvin is a good hairstylist is an understatement. She has great attention to detail...consistency...and charges prices that are very reasonable. I've even following her since I discovered her at a hair salon around the corner from me. As sometimes happens...she quickly outgrew the salon she was in and had to move on. I followed her to her next salon even though it was further away and past several other salons! And...when she needed to move again...I followed her...again! Parvin is friendly, professional and does a great job with my very unruly hair. She also does all those minor touches, like ensuring my lines are squared and even...my beard blended perfectly...and stray hairs all clipped away. She puts more effort into ensuring I look well groomed than I do! Give Parvin a try and you'll be hooked too! read more

I called mid-afternoon to request a appointment, she got me in by 2. Very nice, quick and talented. Handled two haircuts by the time it took my hair to dye, very impressive to say the least. Never felt rushed, which matters for a hairdresser. Love the small feel of the salon. The location is a bit tricky if you don't know where to look, its right next to Reds doughnuts.

Parvin has been cutting my hair for the past few years. I noticed she does ALOT of hair coloring in her place as well.

Parvin is efficient and no nonsense. I needed a trim and roots color in a way that preserved the highlights. She asked for a picture of my hair that showed the best stage of the highlights and the style. The results were fabulous!

I called to get information about I-tip extensions and they hang up on me and then didn't answer my call. Based on our conversation I'm not sure the person who answered speaks English so that was a bit of a challenge. The second time I called back (wasn't rude just asked to speak with someone about extensions) she hung up on me.! At least they answered a phone call...? read more

She cut my hair way too short, I have curly hair so curly hair is actually longer than what it looks when washed. Told her to cut one inch but she cut about 5 inches. She clearly wasn't listening read more

My hair was cut for the first time by Parvin. I made an apt. by phone and was in her chair a few hours later. She was ready to go when I arrived, very professional and efficient. During the hair cut she checked multiple times to make sure she was cutting it the length I preferred. She cut it at the length I wanted. The whole hair cut was quick and efficient. She was very kind and professional. The salon was very relaxing. When I was done I was very happy with the work she did. I feel my hair looks great. I plan to return when I need a trim again. read more

Absolutely one of the best haircuts I've had. This is saying a lot!!! I go 6-8 months between cuts because of how far my reg. Stylist is. I told my husband I was going to get my haircut and he jokingly said "I'm staying in the city that night" . The price is amazing low for her quality of work. She also is just one of the friendliest persons. I will be going back. Thank You! Satisfied customer. read more

I just found my new hairdresser here! Went to her for a root touch up and a trim, and left very happy! She took the time to make sure that the color matched my previous dye job. For the haircut, she asked my opinion but I just ended up trusting her with how she wanted to trim and it came out beautiful! Really recommend. Although, I noticed other reviewers left out that she is **cash only** so be prepared for that! read more

First time here and I was skeptical at first. Parvin did a excellent job giving me a cut, color and highlights, she is very conciseness of each procedure and explains before doing anything. Price was a few hundreds but well worth it. I'd recommend her. read more
