New in town, it is not easy to find the right hair stylist. Surprisingly, I was able to find Beatris. She did an amazing job on fixing up my hair. Her commitment and passion to work on my hair made me fall in love with her work. I will definitely come back. She is a keeper forever. Highly recommend her! read more

I bought my wife a gift certificate here and when she went in, they wouldn't honor it because the girl who set it up no longer worked there.

I've been going to Bea for my haircuts for many years because I'm always please with the result! Even when I forget to show up on time I come away with a terrific cut or trim. read more

I'm so very happy I took my daughter in to get my hair done and hers as well. We both came out looking amazing I showed her one picture of what my daughter wanted and she did exactly what the picture showed we are soooo happy and will be returning to get some highlights thank you so much for a wonderful experience. read more

I hate getting my hair cut because I treasure it so much and cuts make me nervous, and I'm just a student here in Chico so I had no idea where to go to get my hair done. I found this wonderful place downtown, and Elva was incredible and gave me a trim exactly how I wanted it as well as bangs!! I've been debating getting them because I love my hair and haircuts scare me, but Elva was so reassuring and did an incredible job, and I absolutely love it. Definitely my go-to spot when I'm in Chico from now on! read more

Terrible place. I went to get my hair split bleached and dyed a purple red color my hair isnt virgin and i have home dyed it for years and never had an issue with lifting when i bleach my hair or color not sticking and my hair has never once turned green or bled after rinsing the color out. I ended up spending $400 on ugly green hair. The older lady doesnt know what shes doing she didnt rinse out all the color from my hair and when i called a few months to see what we can do to fix the issue she said she could charge me $200 to re bleach to fix it. When i asked if she could discount it some becuase of her mistake she said no becuase shes not obligated to fix any issues after a customer leaves the store. read more

My boyfriend and I both went in for haircuts; our stylist was Elva. My boyfriend asked for a mullett/mohawk type of cut, and she kind of laughed at him at first, but quickly realized he was being serious. After his cut (which turned out well) it was my turn. I told her I wanted bangs and a trim on my layers. She trimmed my hair, cut a thin layer of bangs (much thinner than what I envisioned), and asked if I wanted it styled or just the cut. I said I would like it styled (as that was the expectation I had given on the phone when making the appointment). After she was done drying my hair she told me it would be $25 for my boyfriend, and $65 for me. She then informed us it was cash or check only. A $40 price difference just to have my hair dried. Not ONCE did she asked me if I liked my hair while she was cutting it, not once did she ask if the bangs were long enough/thick enough, nor did she ask how I would like it styled (she just did a blow out of her own volition when I would have liked it either straightened or wavy), and on top of all that she didn't talk to me the entire appointment. I'm okay with not gabbing the entire time, but she didn't attempt conversation at all. And then to only accept cash or check, come on, get a Square, people. read more

My family has been going to the hair works for over 15 years! Bea has always done a great job with many many different cuts and colors I've had, and she did a great job on the hair for my sisters wedding recently too! Even though I don't live in Chico anymore, I still like to go to Bea for a haircut whenever I'm in town! PS - My BF gets his haircut by Hilda and she does an amazing job, even when he hasn't had a haircut in 6 months and comes in looking like Chewbacca!!! read more

I had to take Vicodin once. I woke up from a Vicodin-induced nap to find that I had given myself a haircut!! It was BAAAAD. I made an emergency appointment with Michelle and she outdid herself...she made my hair look great! LIFESAVER!!! She's who I'm going to see from now on...very chatty and nice and GREAT with scissors! (And she squeezed me in on short notice - thank goodness!!) read more

I used to get my hair done at this salon but I just couldn't handle the way Bea treated her customers. She was rude to clients if she was having an issue with the hair stylist they were seeing. She would constantly talk sh*t about her clients as soon as they walked out the door. read more

They accepted a walk in which was nice, but cut my hair dry, didn't give me a wash or style and it was still $45 for a haircut. I wish she would have cut off more as well. I asked for about a 2 inch trim and it barely felt like she cut an inch off. I would not go here again. read more

I've been going to this salon for about two years now, and whenever I go in I ask for a completely different style. I've had bobs, trims and pixie cuts usually referenced with a picture and Elva gives me exactly what I want every time! It's a little pricy but definitely worth it. read more

My family has been going to Bea for 27 years. We have trusted her styling advice through so many different styles, colors and cuts, I've never had a bad outcome. My daughter has very curly thick hair and won't trust anyone else to touch it, she drives up from Roseville every 6 weeks for her Bea Days. My son even trusts her to trim his beard. I'm always getting compliments on my hair, and I'm not shy to recommend The Hair Works. Now that I'm leaving the color behind and letting my hair go naturally gray, Bea is keeping me looking stylish every step of the way (almost there). Thank you Bea for being there for me and my family. read more

All I got was a hair cut which most places can do pretty quick and simple. The lady that did my hair took extra care to try to make sure everything was even but I got home and noticed there were a few bits that were longer than the rest. Also it says their haircut price is $25 but in the end she charged me $65 for a wash and haircut. Literally she just cut my hair and it was almost triple the price that was listed. read more

I just got my hair cut and colored here and I'm absolutely going back. Michele gave me the perfect shade of red with subtle but fun highlights, and got the cut just right! She took her time to do it right, gave good advice, and listened to what I wanted. If I had a question she answered it easily and nicely. The big windows make it easy to see what color your hair is in the natural light and allow for some people watching. Love it! read more

Hilda is an amazing artist and did a great job hi-lighting and cutting my hair! She takes the time to consult with you exactly what you want and adds her own special touch! Great salon with nice people! read more

Hilda does an amazing job. I always get compliments after seeing her. She is great at understanding what you want from her in a style. I always recommend her to people. read more

I have been a customer of Elva for over 18 years. We have had a couple of different hair colors and perms. Needless to say hairstyle changes as well She never let me down with the different choices we made over the years. Having gray and thinning hair she does her magic every Friday. The hair Works is a clean friendly shop with very reasonable prices that fit senior citizens pocketbook. When I first came to Chico I tried a few other Hair Salons but could not afford the high prices then I found Hair Works and Elva and this sure works for me. Very happy customer. read more

I went to the salon yesterday to get my hair colored at Bea's hair salon and she did an amazing job! The color came out perfect and just the way I wanted ! 10/10 recommend coming here read more

Thanks to Elva for another great hair cut. After I wash my hair, it falls into place and I don't have to do much. Saves me a lot of time and having a good cut feels great! Elva has been cutting and styling my hair for 10 years. I have consistently received great cuts over the years. I am happy with the results every time. read more

I got my hair cut a couple of weeks ago by Elva. I was getting over 12 inches cut off, so I was nervous. She did an amazing job! Not only was I asking for a drastically different cut, but my hair is thick and wavy. Elva listened to what I wanted and then spent an entire hour cutting my hair. It was clear that she was really knew what she was doing and that she wanted to do a good job. I love my new hair cut! read more
