Went for a hair color and cut. Not only was the price great but the owner and her co-owner were the nicest people I've met in a long time. Not only were they hospitable, but the man who cut and colored my hair was on another level! I've been to many Salons like Blake Charles in SF and these two are on the same level with cut and color. Please go to them if you would love to have superb work done on your hair. Plus, I saw heavy foot traffic and they had people in and out AND the cuts were emmacullent for a short period of time they were in the chair. Please spread the word. read more

I booked an appointment at Hair #1 Salon with Mrs.Nguyen for a burgundy/maroon color on my long, healthy black hair I had walked in w. I showed her a reference photo, and she even pulled out her color book to confirm the exact shade. I clearly chose the color I wanted. When she finished, my hair was bright red not the shade we agreed on. She then told me she ran out of the original dye because I have a lot of hair, so she decided to use a different red without asking me. That was extremely upsetting. This is not my first time getting my hair done, and I know what I asked for. I told her it needed to be fixed and asked how much she was charging. She said $300. I was in disbelief and honestly started crying because I could not go to work like that. I felt unheard and very uncomfortable. While correcting it, she dyed my hair back to brown/black (close to my natural color), but she had an attitude the entire time. She was pulling my hair aggressively, and when I told her my scalp was burning, it didn't seem to matter. My head was on fire. At the end, she insisted I pay the full $300. I felt pressured and didn't want conflict, so I paid and left feeling worse than when I walked in. The owner was present the entire time and did nothing. I left with damaged hair, a burned scalp, and regret for trying a new salon. I would not recommend this place. -0 stars read more

Horror digital perm alive. Hair number one performed the worst nightmare. I came in with long silky hair hopping to boost the curl asking the digital perm. Walked away with charted hay texture hair which they chopped majority of all dead hair not by my choice. Hair number one does not have the proper equipment and knowledge to provide service. I wish they understand their own limitations and reframe from hurting client. One star is given because they were apologetic. Unfortunately, this level of damage is beyond imagination. I am heartbroken. Stay away if you care about your appearance. read more

I went to No. 1 today and it was worth the wait! I asked for brown since I haven't decided what shade yet. Ms Tammy Trinh and her team recommended for me that chestnut should be the best one because of my dark strong hair. The result was amazing! I really like it! read more

I always browse from customer reviews before I make an appt. Last weekend, since I have an urgent meeting and wants my hair done, I called this salon to make an appt and make sure they do keratin treatment,which they do. Came in with warm welcome and Nick whom I spoke over the phone started working for my hair. I am impressed with the service, the attitude and their politeness. After hours working on my hair, i was surprised with the results. I am so happy with the results. When I had my hair done from my past salons, I leave the salon not happy and sad for the high price. But, Nick from Hair no. 1 salon did amazing job with amazing price. After years coming from other salons. Now I found the salon I will go. Thank you Nick for the amazing job. Thank you for your patience, though it's was a late appt and done late, thank you for being kind. Recommend this to my family and friends already. read more

I did not get any service done after waiting 2 hrs at the salon! I came here for coloring and an appointment was made 2 weeks ago , I showed up on time and yet there was only 1 hairdresser, working with 1 client. He finally attended to me after 35 min and asked what I need to do. 5 min later he chopped off a few strands of hair to test out if my hair can be bleached. Since then, I waited 2 hrs surfing on my phone. The hairdresser never apologized to me or acknowledge me on when he would be able to get to me or what s the cause of this conflict. He just left me hanging. What's the point of making appointment if he can't commit?! Time is valuable to anyone! I'm very disgruntled by this place! I believe the hairdresser's name is Nick read more

Very Nice! The Best hair cut forever! I am so happy to enjoy it! I will come again later and it is very good custmer service. read more

Today I went here to have my hair done. I been going to this hair salon for 2 years now. And never fail me about my hair cut that I wanted. So I always want Ms Minnie to cut and have my hair done with. I trust her a lot when it comes to my hair style and colors. Last 5 months ago I had her cut my hair short and I was so happy with it. Now my hair got longer again I went to her to do my hair cut and do my colors. I showed her what hair style I want and she never disappoint me ever. The colors are amazingly beautiful with the hair style she did. She spent like 3 hours doing my hair she was so focused and into it to work with me. It's just so amazing and I'm so happy for my hair..I can tell more about her work and everything but a page it won't be enough lol. So yes I highly recommend my favorite hair salon and my hair stylist. Just so happy read more

I have a cycle of growing my hair and eventually chopping it off to donate it. I just trim it every few months to get rid of the split ends. I was really close to being at the right length to donate. I just needed a couple more trims over a few more months. So I stopped by this place (I was already in the area) and I asked for a blowout and to trim only a couple inches off. I sat down and was surprised to see the lady pull out her hair straightener and clippers.. she ended up chopping off about half the length of my hair (without the blowout) and when I got up and said "this is really short," she responded with "it looks better that way." I should've followed my guts. I was so close to donating! I don't think she did a bad job. It's just the complete opposite of what I asked for. read more

Minnie takes good care of my 93 year old mother every time she gets her hair done. She always have a warm smile and is excellent in what she does.

Sweet workers but terrible job coloring my hair. They were done prepping my hair, but didn't rinse me out till an hour later (they were busy and got occupied doing other people's hair). My head was burning for an hour, it was torture! It was one of the worst feelings ever; I seriously wanted to cry! It makes me wonder what type of products they use because usually when I have my hair colored, it's never this painful.. Anyways, when they finally rinsed me off, my head was soo sensitive that it was painful just having it shampooed and massaged. Also, they gave me a totally different hair color. I wanted medium ashy blonde, but they colored me dark dark brown; almost black. And they left stains all over my hairline. I wanted to complain, but I didn't want to be tortured again. Plus, my scalp was badly burned so it's not like they can redo it anytime soon.. I'm highly disappointed and I will never return again. My scalp still hurts... just running my fingers through my hair and touching my head lightly is so painful. ***Update*** They burned my scalp so badly that I have sores and it's also flaking. The salon that fixed my hair noticed it and felt so bad for me that they did such a terrible job AND burned my scalp. read more

Minnie is amazing! She has such a cute funky style...very hip chick. I have long hair...and VERY protective of my locks. I was desperately in need of a good haircut. (It had been over a year...I know bad..right??) Anyways...Minnie did an amazing job! She really took her time which eased my nervousness. Needless to say...she will now be my go to fixer upper! I love my long layers and how she styled and straightened my hair. I think the only thing I was shocked about was what she charged me. Less than $25! That's including the tip! Minnie is awesome! Thanks to her...my hair looks and feels amazing. read more

I have been coming here for over 5 years now. This is The only place that I can get the right color and the most recent haircut style. My stylist is Minnie, she truly amazing. She always listen to what I want and what looks good on me and as a stylist that's very important to listen to your client, and she never fails to do so. Minnie has done color, highlights, low light, even peek a boo color on me and not to mention she's done an amazing a line cut on me and more. This place is amazing and did I mention it's very very affordable. I can't imagine to go else where but here. Thanks Minnie you truly are my hair doctor read more

My family's known the owner, Eva, here for years and she's done consistently excellent work as far as I can remember. Even now, I still go to her for my haircuts whenever possible. The price is pretty fantastic at $12 for a basic cut and I leave a happy camper every time. read more

Ask for Minnie at Hair#1. She is the best at color, cut, and style. She listens to you and does your hair the way you want it. I've been going to Minnie over 5 years. She is also a happy person and fun to talk to. I always look forward to my appointments with her. Appointments necessary. read more

Eva knows hair, but she's clueless about time management. Not only have I waited for her for 30 minutes at a time (despite an appointment), but have also seen other customers wait endlessly. I've also had to extend my babysitter's hours at the last minute because Ms. Eva was running behind. Add to that a very dilapidated salon with no heating. After going to her for about a year, I decided to switch colorists and am so glad I did. read more

This was my first time going here and I was a little leery. I should have trusted my gut. My daughter and I both went in for haircuts nothing too fancy she just wanted a trim and I just wanted them to clean up my a line Bob. Unfortunately that is not what happened. The woman cut way though off of her hair & when it came to mine I let her know first off that I wanted to keep the length of my hair. When I went into the salon my hair was about an inch past my shoulders when I came out of the salon my hair is at my chin comma I don't quite understand that how that is keeping the length of my hair. I can honestly say I was truly unhappy with the cut that my daughter and I both received. We will not be returning there again. read more

Every time I come here I am never disappointed. Eva, the owner, always does an amazing job. A few months ago I went to see her so she can get rid of this color I had in my hair.. I am never using boxed dye again, btw. She had so much patience with me and she multi tasked with me and other clients (which I was fine with) She even stayed after hours just to do my hair too. And just yesterday, I went in for a cut and once again, she has worked her magic and cut my hair the way I wanted... I went to great clips before and they had no idea how to do layers and Eva does. She even does the dry cut instead of wetting the hair. I highly recommend seeing Eva, she is great. read more

Minnie has been cutting my hair for over a year now. I discovered her at Claremont Hair Salon and haven't looked back - I love her so much that I'm commuting all the way to San Leandro to have her cut my hair. About the haircut - I get more compliments about my haircuts than I've ever had in my life. At least once a day (within the first 2 weeks) somebody will ask me - "who did your hair, and where are they located?" She takes her time to get the fade just right on both sides. She knows how to layer my hair and take off the weight. She's a perfectionist and won't stop cutting until it's right. I showed her a picture a year ago of the look I wanted and now I have that. I have complete trust in her that I literally sit back and let her do what she wants. About Minnie - she's cool, she's hip, she's artistic, she's sweet and honest. I always leave feeling better than I arrived, not just because of the cut, but because her personality is just enjoyable to be around. The price is incredible too - I was paying close to $50 for a cut in SF that wasn't even close to as good. She's less than 1/3 of that price and in my opinion could be charging way more if people knew where to find her. -MW read more

Hair No. 1 is an amazing salon with seasoned hair stylists! After observing Minnie's work for a couple of years, I decided to have her work on mine. It was the best decision Ive ever made! I've had several hit or miss experiences all over the Bay Area and it was a relief to find Minnie! She is a true artist, who listens and delivers exactly what you want! Not only is Minnie a seasoned hair stylist, she is a genuinely wonderful, human being. read more

Eva the owner KNOWS how to shape, cut, and style your hair. Women's or men's hair. The other stylist are experienced as well. My wife and I both have our hair cuts and styled by Hair No 1. If your looking for someone you would be satisfied with give them a try. read more

Got my haircut here a few times. Eva is the owner here and is a very nice lady. I'm the type of guy who just wants a quick trim and not really into getting some kind of fancy complicated haircut. So when I go here I tell her what kind of cut I want and she does it really quick and to the point without any mistakes. She also makes sure what I want and asks me what kind of fade or taper I want in the sideburns or back. It doesn't seem to get very busy here but try to call ahead of time for an appointment or to check if she has any time. $12 for mens haircut isn't bad either. Recommended! read more

Get your hair done by Eva! I always come here to get my hair cut and coloring done! She is very nice and patient and takes her time with you. I've been getting my hair done here for over 20 years and I still receive excellent service from her. I never feel rushed at all. I even get my hair done here for special occasions and Eva always get what I want perfectly! I definitely recommend getting your hair done by Eva. Even my friends love her and they always come back to get their hair done here. Great prices too! read more

Got my hair cut from here about 2 weeks ago. I can't remember the name of the lady who cut my hair, but I do remember her being really nice and did exactly what I asked her to do. Gave her a picture of what I wanted, and she followed it. She did cut off more than I expected, but it was for the best because she cut off what was damaged. She gave me some pointers to help my dry ends. Check this place out. Doesn't look like much, but that stuff doesn't really matter to me. read more

This was the best expierience i have ever had at any hair salon! This place seems like a little hole in the wall but be sure not to judge a book by its cover. Very friendly staff & very attentive to your needs. I got my hair done somewhere else and it was completely jacked up! The layers were uneven everywhere, it was such a ugly choppy look. I live down the street so i decided to stop by to see if anyone could save my hair and try to fix it or make it somewhat decent again. Anna was the one to help me and wow she did such an amazing job. She took her time, did NOT rush. She made my hair more than decent! She kept the length long while being able to fix my already short uneven layers. I have never been this impressed with any hair salon or stylist before, anna is a very polite young lady. She did more than an outstanding job! I will forsure be comming back again and recommending everyone i know! Thanks again anna! You brought my confidence back! read more

We went on a Sunday and there was a little wait; she however was so great at cutting our 2-year old son's super curly and tangly hair. They have plenty of toys to play with while we waited and his hair cut is superb. We highly recommend the place and will be returning most likely in just a few months (at the rate my son's hair is growing). read more

I recently just got a trim here and I thought my trim wouldn't cost that much because I didn't want her to take off that much length. I don't know her name but she was the lady with short red curly hair. She took like around 15-20 minutes cutting my hair which didn't end up bad. I asked her to give me a v-shape haircut with a little layer but don't take off too much length and she did exactly that. But after she was done she told me it costed $35 which I thought was ridiculous because she didn't even cut off that much. She told me she charged me that much because I had long hair which doesn't even make sense considering the fact that she didn't even cut off that hair so that was an invalid excuse. Honestly I think she just took advantage of me cause I was young and that's pretty shady, but I didn't want to cause a scene or start an argument so I just paid and left. When I told my aunt about how much she charged my aunt was heated and felt sorry for me because they took advantage of me. During the summer I went to a place by my house to get an actual haircut which costed me $22-$25. The person that cut my hair during the summer gave me layers and a v-shape too. On top of that she cut off like 10 inches of my hair and only charged me $22-$25. But this place charged me so much for a trim. She only took off like 1-2 inches and charged me a ridiculous price for it. Anyways I don't think I'm going to ever come back to this place because I felt like they took advantage of me cause I was young and they probably knew I wouldn't say anything. I'm truly disappointed read more

Ava is amazing. She cares about her customers and has great prices. She definitely knows her business!

Always a good cut for me and the family and you cant beat the prices. They are really good with kids too.

minne was wonderful gave me the sharp new look I was wanting for my new college year. Took her time and listened to my needs. Delivered as promised not like the chop shop in and out places I've been in the past, and at a great price. Highly recommend. read more

I'm pretty easy going when it comes to getting my hair done a certain wAy. I've been to many salons and still have not found one that I have been loyal to. I guess it true you get what you pay for. This is your typical cheap Asian hair salons who cuts everyone's hair the same way. I've been to many before and they have not messed up my usual long hair layers as badly as this woman did. I wanted a simple one color dye and a trim. You don't have a be a color specialist or anything to dye someone's hair I thought. Boy was I wrong! I wanted a medium ash brown as I had pointed out to her and after an hr my hair turned out more like a dark brown! I asked her why my hair was darker than I wanted and she started making excuses like its the lighting in here and that she actually gave me one or two degrees lighter than what I wanted which was total BS. I know what ash brown looks like and this was almost black. What's worse is what she charged me for a trim (shorter than I asked for) and color. I could have gone to better salon and paid the same for what she charged me and I would have been happier. I'm so disappointed and would NEVER come back. read more

Came in and made a big mistake of my healthy hair! Wanted a spiral perm to give my hair some body big mistake!
