Good place to get a haircut the girls are real nice And they do a good job sll the time

Everyone so nice and very attentive. They listen and do what you want in a haircut and style.

I'll keep it simple and i'll keep it honest. I don't normally come in here to get my hair cut or done. I have a stylist that i've stuck with RELIGIOUSLY for the better part of 18 years. But I couldn't get in with her and I had an event to attend in 24 hours. So, I figured... all I want is a trim, it shouldn't be that bad. What could go wrong? ... Little did I know.... Although the atmosphere inside the shop was warm and welcoming, I felt nothing but rushed from the moment I took a seat in the chair. I asked for a trim of dead ends, with layers, a loss of no more than 2 inches... and what I ended up with was an excessively short, unevenly layered MESS. My hair is going to take a lot of time to recover and to say i'm fuming is an understatement. I have learned my lesson, however and I will never go to anyone else but my standard stylist again. You truly do, get what you pay for. Curly-haired ladies beware. read more

Best place for a hair cut and color . I needed a certain style, And Maria was there to listen and do exactly what i wanted. She colored my red and added highlights strips and feathered sides came out perfect. Been back several times I like the way they listen and there prices. read more

I'm not saying all women at haircut 5 need some serious training, but the haircut I just got from a woman there needs to get another career or go back to school for some serious training. Not happy at all with the sloppy service I received. read more

This place of business is cash only. I've been here three times for haircuts and no complaints.

This place gives good cuts and the wait is usually pretty short. The staff is very friendly. I took one star off because they dont take atm or credit cards. Beware of the worlds creepiest painting by the register. read more

Haircut 5 - World's creepiest painting. - Barbers Near Me - Hollister, California

I need a haircut before leaving on a trip, my regular place was close. I went here, big mistake. Worst haircut ever. They only take cash.

At first I was nervous about another stylist to cut my hair, but I decided to take a chance. Keep in mind I'm very picky about my cut. I walked in and was greeted by a young woman by the name of Angelica. I looked around and it was very clean inside. Angelica called my name and I sat in the chair. Still kinda nervous but I began to conversation which ease the tension. She began to cut my hair and to may surprise it was done in a timely manner. Once Angelica was done I was in shock. The hair cut was by far better than my old hair stylist which I've gone for 15 years. I thanked her and praised her for the awesome experience. The price was relatively fair, so I gave her a nice tip. I highly recommend this place neverthelessless my new hair stylist "Angelica". read more

Another excellent haircut from Michelle!!! I come all the way from Chico ca just to get my haircut by her & I will continue to do so. She is amazing read more

If I could give more stars I definitely would! I had a bad experience with super cuts after being denied service and wondered my way to haircut 5 looking for a haircut for my son! The girls were super nice with my son and me I loved how they received walk ins. The girls were super fast and friendly. I was satisfied with my sons hair cut and got one myself. Give this business and service a 10/10! Would recommend! I was attended by Angelica! And the owner! read more

IF you choose to go here, and you don't already know who you want to cut your hair, make sure to ask for one of the Cindy's. There are two people there who's name is Cindy and they are both great. You will get an accurate hair cut. There may be other accurate and talented hair cutters there, but I can only report on what I know. I'm not going to bash or slander any particular person, but the problem is we've had 2 extremely crooked hair cuts by 2 different people. Then when I said something, I was dismayed at the way it was handled both times. I think the owner, Sal, is very diplomatic and professional, but that doesn't help when he is never on site and his employees are being rude and obnoxious. I personally will not step foot in that establishment again if I can help it. My children might go, and if they do they will make sure to ask for one of the nice, talented ladies named CINDY! read more

I went here for at least ten years, and always came away satisfied. The wait has never been unbearably long, the staff is friendly and helpful, and I've always liked the cut I've gotten. The price is especially good if you snag one of the coupons from the back of a local grocery store receipt. :) I personally recommend asking for Cindy if you go. She was my favorite, and apparently quite a few other people's, too, as when I wrote "Aubree (Cindy)" down on the waiting list, there were always at least five other names with the same request. read more

Michelle is the Must Go to for Fades, she definitely has has her Shit Together. Been to numerous barber shops most simulate they can fade but dont really have their fades mastered. Been to numerous locations in Hollister 5 cut is the one!! read more

What happened to this place? We used to come frequently and never had an issue. This last time I brought my kids it was like a chop shop cut for both of them!!! The WORST haircuts we've ever experienced. My daughter looked worse after her cut than when we went in. Totally uneven, asked for layers and the top layer was longer on top! What in the world? I My other kids haircut was very choppy and uneven. I took elsewhere to fix it. Awful and we will not be back. Also, cash or check only. read more

I have gone here several times now. I go to see Angelica. She was fantastic when I tried, on my own to go from blonde to box red and came in to see her with pink hair. She made me the gorgeous red I was wanting. That was my very first visit to see her. Then after about 6 months as a redhead I decided I wanted to go back to blonde and she did an incredible job. My husband and I could 't be more satisfied with her work. Look through the photos and you will see what I mean. Great work!! Ask for Angelica! read more

My last 3 haircuts from here by chance have been with the same lady and I don't know her name. All 3 times there have been big mistakes made. The haircut was simply to shave the sides of my head as short as possible and leave the long hair on top untouched (the long hair is a cultural thing) today after my hair cut I run my finger through my hair and a big chunk of my long hair falls out! I was 3/4 the way home so I did not go back to address it. Once home even more came out and there is a noticeable dent in my hair line on the back of my head where the chunk was. I've been going here for over 15 years but I'm not sure if I want to continue to be a customer. I've attached pictures of the proof read more

Our whole family loves Haircut 5 - trims to major styling. They do beards too! All of the stylists are skilled & very friendly.

My father went in for a haircut here recently, he said his haircut wasn't clean on the back of his head. There was a slight language barrier since my fathers english is a bit broken up but it shouldnt be hard to clean up the back part of the head... isnt that just what you're supposed to do anyway? read more

Great option for an affordable haircut. I've been seeing Gwen for years and she always does an amazing job while being super sweet, funny and always making great conversation. read more

This review is for Cindy Gilroy. She has worked there for MANY years. She is very good, accurate and can make recommendations if you ask. I only lived in Hollister while I was going to high school but didn't start going to her til after I graduated. So since then, whenever I go to town to visit my family my daughter and I go for our trims. The only other person who cut my hair well was Joey Stevenson in SF, but I don't travel there anymore. Other places I have tried in the towns I've lived in botch up my hair. Cindy notices. She says "who cut your hair?!". So I've learned my lesson and will only go to her. She is an expert at haircuts and you can't beat $14 for a woman's haircut ($4 more if you want a shampoo). This is not a high end salon, but you will get a great cut with Cindy Gilroy! read more

I've been going here for the past few months since I moved to Hollister. I haven't had a problem with any of my haircuts and I have had a different person cut my hair each time. I have never had to wait longer than 5 mins and everyone there is friendly. Prices are not expensive and I would recommend anyone if there are in need of a haircut. read more

Clean. Clean. Clean. I love this place. I take my 3 boys here. The stylists are all great. Towards the back are bins filled with quats. All are clearly labeled to indicate dirty, sanitizing & sanitized. I appreciate that combs, brushes, etc. are not reused before being cleaned. The prices a great. We keep an eye out for the coupons that come in the mail. The boys have had many styles from classic cut to Mohawks and all turned out great. read more

My fav person there is Gwen she's so funny and works with your hair... She's amazing she's my to go girl :)

After overlooking the fact that they don't take Credit card payments, they actually are very nice and do quite a good job well done

Not coming back here the one girl with the platinum blond hair with the straight cut bangs that looks like a creepy china doll gave me an attitude. Wouldn't even bother conversing she just seemed like she was doing her job to make money. She asked me what I wanted and laughed and said "Ok..." Also she cut my sideburns uneven so I had to go home and do it myself and didn't show the back of my neck with a mirror when finished like most do. She just wiped me off and "You're done" wow great service lady... Word of advice for the person who does hiring here: Hire better more skilled friendlier people that aren't there just to "do their job." Thanks. read more

The stylist listened to what my son wanted, and even searched online for the style he was describing. Great service.

The only reason i came here is cuz the other places were busy. They cut my hair in ten minutes. The whole time while talking to her coworker. The is the last time i let them butcher my hair. Business might be good but you will no longer get mine! read more

I wish I could give this sorry of a excuse of a salon a half a star . First of all all the stylist look as if they just got out of a woman's battered shelter or prison. Second they don't listen or cant understand English . And they don't accept debit/credit cards which for me jus isn't a proper business since a lot of people don't carry cash on them at all times like myself. If your planing on getting a hair cut goto supercuts, 100% more professional .. You've been warned read more

Just had my hair cut by Michelle and I LOVE it. I'm a first time client and was a little apprehensive, the reviews were good so I thought why not give this salon a try. Glad I did, no regrets here. read more

I have been going here monthly for about a year for both me and my son. I have had mixed results, but most have been good. (naturally some are better than others) The last time I went in, there was a new lady there who apparently speaks little to no English. (pretty much no english) I asked for a particular haircut for my son (a razor cut) and after about 40 minutes (i got the same haircut as my son from another lady there and was done for at least 25 minutes when he was finally done) of her cutting his hair, his hair cut was incorrect. I asked for a #3 razor cut on top and she scissor cut it, too long, and spiked it. When I asked about it, she told me in broken English, "no, this looks better." She recut it at my demand and it was still just a poor haircut. when I expressed displeasure in the haircut, nothing was done. I was still charged full price and was questioned as to why I didn't tip. I had to take him somewhere to get the haircut corrected after paying them for the bad haircut. Now I understand that this was apparently a new lady there, but no one else intervened, including the manager who stood at a distance and listened to the whole ordeal. I will say that Gwen is a sweetheart and has always given a good haircut. Unfortunately, on most days, like the day mentioned above, she has at least a couple of people waiting for her. This can make the wait time very long. If you choose to go here, wait for Gwen or one of the reputable ladies and don't be tempted by the ones without a wait. read more

Very happy with Gwen, not so much with the other girl I had. Can't remember her name,tho. My daughter has Melissa? or Michelle (can't remember her name) cut my grandson's hair & she likes her work,too read more
