My daughter had her 1st highlights and we're happy we went to Jim's Hair Salon, our 1st time here. We called and he's very accommodating & welcoming to his salon. His entire team, Lynn, were very nice & skilled with what they're doing. As we know hair highlights are expensive but our experience especially my daughter's was worth it. They gave us excellent customer service, didn't make us feel intimidated as I had questions and they answered me respectfully, no arrogance, they give attention to details and exceeded my daughter's expectation for her hairstyle inspiration. The salon was also clean. Highly recommended and I'll be back for my haircut soon. read more

I came in for a haircut with Jim and, while he was very friendly and pleasant, I'm not sure I would recommend my experience. I have long, thick Asian hair that reaches close to my waist. I showed several inspiration photos and explained that I was hoping for a straighter, more blended look. The haircut was completed in about 10-12 minutes, which honestly surprised me because I've never had someone cut my hair that quickly. I left terrified. Unfortunately, the result wasn't what I asked for. He added more layers than I wanted, even though I specifically requested a straighter style. He also cut my hair about two inches shorter than I had requested, and the layers don't blend as smoothly as I would like. The haircut doesn't look terrible, but it wasn't the look I was hoping for, and the appointment felt rushed. While Jim was kind and professional, I left feeling disappointed and not very happy with the final result. Because of that, I probably wouldn't return. read more

It was my first time dying my hair at Jim's. Tracy did partial highlights all over my head. It came out beautiful. Loved her work so much! read more

I have been going at Jim over 20 yrs now. Not once went wrong! Always I had a great experience getting my haircut here! The service was excellent, and the barber really took the time to understand what I wanted. The haircut came out clean, sharp, and exactly how I hoped it would. You can tell they take pride in their work and pay attention to the details. I'm really happy with the result and will definitely be coming back again with all my kidsHighly recommend! read more

Jim and his team at Jim's Hair Salon are wonderful. I recently went in for a corrective balayage with highlights and babylights, and they spent several hours carefully working on my hair. What impressed me most was his attention to hair integrity. Instead of trying to push my hair too far in one session, he was very honest and set realistic expectations based on my previous color and the condition of my hair. I originally wanted a very creamy pale vanilla blonde. Jim explained how far we could safely go in one appointment without risking damage or breakage. I really appreciated that honesty, because protecting the health of my hair was clearly his priority. Even though we couldn't go all the way to my final goal in one session, he absolutely set me up for success. The result is a soft dimensional blonde that looks beautiful and natural, and interestingly my hair actually seems to look lighter and brighter as the days go by, especially when sunlight hits it. Jim clearly plans the process in stages. I will most likely return in a couple of months for baby highlights to brighten the crown and continue moving toward the creamy vanilla tone I ultimately want. The salon itself is also a great environment. Jim and his staff are friendly, welcoming, and professional, and you can tell they genuinely care about their clients and the health of their hair. Overall I'm extremely happy with the result and very grateful for Jim's skill and honesty. If you're looking for balayage, blonde highlights, or color correction in the area, I highly recommend Jim's Hair Salon. I also strongly recommend calling and making an appointment. Although they will take walk-ins, you just never know when somebody - who already has an appointment - is getting a corrective balayage with highlights and babylights and is hogging up all their time.

I could not recommend Jim's enough! They had me right with the quality of the service, the treatment during my appt, and the price point. What more could you ask for? I called in stressed about my at home box dye dilemma and Jim was so calm, and invited me in the same day so he could take a look. Once I got there he reassured me that everything I wanted in my inspo pics was possible... and made it happen. Him and Tracy worked magic on my hair, while feeding me snacks and tea. They made me feel so comfortable throughout the 6 hours I spent there. I could also tell he's built a strong clientele because every person that came in he treated like a friend, asking "how's your brother, how are the kids, etc". Likewise, I could tell people are happy to see him and catch up. Immaculate vibes, 10 stars if possible. I will be back and will tell all my friends to come here too! read more

I had another great experience with Jim and his team. Jim is friendly, patient, and takes the time to make sure you get the results you want. The entire staff is warm, welcoming, and makes you feel comfortable from start to finish. I came in to lighten my hair even more and he did an amazing job while keeping my hair healthy. Come visit Jim and his team if you want quality coloring! read more

Overall 4 stars for the great hospitality, price, and location for parking and accessibility. Detailed Review Below Service Quality: I wouldn't say they rushed it but I wouldn't say it's clean work either. Application wasn't super precise and there are obvious streaks now. Salon Environment/ Hygiene: Chemicals weren't too strong and clean workspace. Durability / Longevity: Around a month after, the color became more blond even after using the shampoo they sold me specifically for maintaining the color. Comfort / Experience I was well taken cared of with great hospitality and nice service. They offered water and candies/ chocolates and there was a bathroom. Accuracy to Inspiration: The inspiration picture (4th pic) and what came out was very different. My hair seems inaccurate from the inspiration picture. Pricing / Value I came here for the price which was the most affordable in the area and I got what I paid for. Tech/Stylist They were friendly especially the male manager who was very welcoming and conversational. They would ask before doing anything and suggest many things. In fact the manager took the photos in the store. Return Again If I wanted an affordable way to change my hair then i would but if I wanted my hair to match the inspiration picture then I would not return again. Extras Easy booking process by calling ahead. There is a huge parking lot outside so parking isn't tricky. 2 month update (Last Two Photos, Outside), the color looks more blond now and the streakiness still bothers me. read more

Jim, the owner, is a very nice gentleman, who has been cutting my husband's hair for years! He has also trimmed my hair a few times, and we have never been disappointed. I have also gotten my haircut by Tracy, who is very nice, attentive, and listens to how I want my haircut to be. Definitely recommended! read more

Easy to get an appointment, pretty fast in and out haircut. Women's haircuts are now 35$. Nothing fancy it decent.

I've been to Jim Salon a couple times now. Jim's the owner and hes great at haircuts. He really takes his time and the cut always turns out nice. Prices are also super reasonable compared to other spots. Would I recommend him for haircuts? Yes 100%. For color? Not so much.. I came in for a balayage recently and showed an inspo pic but the results were way off. I had to come back for a fix but I still had to pay. Also he actually doesnt do the color himself. He has others in the salon do it while he just checks in occasionally. When I came back, it was Lin who helped fix the color and she was super sweet and listened to what I wanted. Come here for a haircut or a basic one color dye. But if youre looking for something like a balayage, I'd say go somewhere that really specializes in color. read more

Jim is skilled in his craft, and has a great personality. He remembers us and teats us well every time we come in. Service is awesome, he manages the wait time and is honest with customers. Amazing energy and vibes! Thank you Jim! read more

I got layers for the first time at Jim's! I've always wanted try them but wasn't sure if they would fit my face shape.. Jim was extremely friendly and insisted that layers suited me, turns out they do and I love it! :) Would definitely come back again read more

3.5 Stars Request for Jim for all your hair needs. His staff can be sloppy with a hair dying technique. The highlights created were not seamless. You can see where the dye cuts off from the roots, and they will grow out that way. But otherwise, the rest of your dye looks good. I really do like the colors used for balayage a lot, just wish they were more detail oriented. read more

I'm glad I made the decision to come here!. Jim and Tracy did an amazing job to my Hair Color. I was greeted with a Happy Vibe and atmosphere. They even offered me a Coffee and Snacks while they do my Hair! If I can give 100% Rating I would! They are very professional when it comes to Hair Color. I find myself to be a Head Turner and gets lots of compliments with my Hair! Love it! Thank u Jim, Tracy and Lihn! read more

Made an appointment the day before coming in. Linh was my hair stylist and was kind and calm. I appreciated her relaxed aura while checking in with me if the water was a good temperature and offering snacks. I showed a picture from Pinterest as inspiration and she did a wonderful job! Paid $300 not including tip. This was my first time getting my hair dyed and I am grateful for Linh's recommendations on what her plan was and maintenance. I'm happy with the result! I noticed a lot of repeat customers and Jim said he's been in business for 30 years. That shows this business is reputable and clients come in and leave happy. read more

Women's haircut only $35! I was lucky enough to get the legend himself Jim, or Jimmy. I learned he has been the friendly neighborhood barber at this spot for 31 years! Anyways, the appointment was on time and only took about 15min. Even though it was extremely fast, he did as good of a job as anyone, if not better. And now I had more time in the day to get other things done. My husband and I will definitely be returning. read more

Jim and his staff (2 sweet ladies) are available and hardworking for your hair needs. I called a few days ago to schedule a hair coloring touch up for this Monday and he was able to get me in at my desired time at 9:30am. This has been my second time here this year and find it convenient. They were mindful when I let them know I needed to pick up my son at 2:30ish (they finished at 1pm, woot!). It is a spacious and clean spot. Parking is very easy as it's within a shared part of the La Montanas lot but on a corner where it's not very busy. I came in without needing to wash my hair and Jim said that was fine and he'd take care of that. I loved the hair wash part too. I'm also with my coloring and haircut! Too bad I didn't have any fancy date to go on or event but I was able to look fly doing my laundry and going to pick up my son from school.. hah. Take care of yourself so you can go take care of others!!! read more

Since moving to the area, Hubby has been looking for a place closer by to get his haircut instead of going down to Oakland all the time. I looked up places for him and found Jim's. Hubby and I went there and we both ended up getting a haircut. It's been a while since I've had my hair cut/trimmed. Upon arrival we were as to take a seat to wait to be called up. Wait time wasn't too long, about 10 minutes or so. I ended up getting Jim who did an amazing job. My hair was super longer and I just wanted a trim, but he suggested that I cut it a bit due to my split ends. I agreed and it looked amazing. I should've gone just a little shorter, but I ended up liking the length of it. Hubby had a great experience as well and has been coming back every 2-4 weeks to get his hair cut by them. read more

My hair was cute shorter than i ask. she literally sat down in a chair as she was cutting my sisters hair instead of listening to my moms request because she decided she wanted to take 30 minutes doing layers.(and still couldnt do it right which was the need for the request) literally what was the need to sit in the chair she literally sat down for 10 minutes before getting to my hair she took like 5 minutes doing my hair!!! shows how much care they have for their clients. read more

First time here, I came in for a haircut and color. I'm quite happy with the way my hair turned out. Reasonably priced, no frills.

Excellent work! I had balayage hair coloring on my Asian black colored hair. I'm very happy with my result. I love it. Jim and his team are very nice and welcoming. I will definitely be going back and highly recommend it. Thanks to google help me find this wonderful place. read more

I visit Jim's about once a year for a dye, cut and style. The price was more than reasonable and I am always happy with how my hair turns out, but most importantly I am most happy with the service. Jim treats every customer like family. In the two hours I was there getting pampered, I heard people talk to Jim about their family, health, vacations and more. It's nice to see and hear this style of customer service. It's just as nice walking out feeling like a million bucks but only spending around $100. read more

First time seeing Jim and I'm obsessed with how my hair turned out! I asked for layers with curtain bangs and he nailed it. He really took his time, made sure everything was perfect, and gave great advice along the way. Honestly, I wish I had brought more cash to tip him -- he totally deserved it. Can't wait to come back! read more

Update: the first three times I went to Jim's over a year ago, it was great. I went again in September and didn't get anything close to what I was looking for. I was passed back and forth between Jim and another woman working there. I said I wouldn't go back and it is totally on me that I did. Again I was passed back and forth between Jim and another woman. I left with a brown mullet when I asked for a blonde balayage A line bob. It is unfortunate, but I would no longer recommend this hair salon, at all. read more

Great haircut w/o any frills and fuss. It's not a fancy place but I didn't mind it. I badly needed a haircut and went here based on reviews. Showed Jim a picture and he cut my hair accordingly. read more

I recommend asking for Tracy to cut your hair, and especially so if you're female with medium to long hair interested in face framing layers or curtain bangs. I had previously jumped around at salons because I couldn't find someone who could consistently cut my hair the way I liked. I have asked for Tracy at every visit so far and she has not disappoint. There was even a time I asked for shorter bangs and she advised me against it and sure enough she was right! Any shorter and the bangs would have sat weirdly and she knew that. I appreciate her very much. I am loyal to Tracy. She is also very, very kind! read more

I made an appointment on Monday for Thursday and it was a simple phone call. Jim's has been around for a very long time and I actually came here over a decade ago for a quick haircut. I have been trying so many different places and seem to just not want to commit to one stylist and also I travel too much for hair, so I needed something close by. Since I spend hours with stylists, I also want to make sure we gel and that they always hear what I have to say when it comes to what I want exactly. Anyway, I was the first customer that day and spent 5.5 hours there. I wanted a money piece and peek-a-boo, showed Jim a picture and his coworker helped me with the colors. Since my hair was dark in many areas and highlighted in some, it was hard to achieve the blonde I wanted. The first toner had my hair purple on top and blonde on the side so I panicked a little. Jim assured me that they could fix it by toning it a second time and getting it a golden ashy blonde. I agreed and once they were done, I was relieved. It wasn't the blond I anticipated, but since my hair was not already light, I understood that this was best result I could get. Since I was tired of sitting for so long, I didn't want any styling, just blow dry so I could get on with my day. In the end, I was pleased with the result. Also, the prices are reasonable. Jim and his crew are very kind and accommodating. read more
