For the price of my haircut, I think this place is pretty good. Haven't heard a place that is this affordable in a while. By all means this place isn't fancy nor does it have all the latest hair tech, but perhaps it is old fashion but it seems like it is a local favorite and alot of ppl just drop by for a quick trim and/or haircut. I walked in (I called before hand to make an appt and they said for haircut they like walk ins) and waited for 5 mins. Hong was available and the haircut was simple and fast- 20 mins. She gave me layers and trimmed my hair accordingly. So far I like the haircut but wish she trimmed my hair more so it's lighter. All and all, good price for a quick haircut! read more

Save your $20. Do not come here. I repeatedly told them I only wanted a trim. Less than 2 inches. They acknowledged and agreed. Over the course of the appointment they kept cutting more and more very quickly without asking. By the end they had layered it and cut more than 4 inches off. I had to spend more money to get it fixed elsewhere. They are the closest thing to hair rapists I've ever experienced. read more

My mom and aunt come here, and I liked how their hair looked, so I started coming here as well. This was my third time going to Tina; however, I'm pretty disappointed with how my hair came out. I came in for a touch-up on my roots and I had blonde highlights, but they're pretty copper-brown now and the top of my hair looks like chunks of highlights. Thankfully, it's not as bad from the side, but I part my hair in the middle so it's all I can focus on. I tend to go to places based on personal recommendations, so I'm sad to say this will be my last time here. I will say, as I waited, I saw three young boys get their hair done; it seems like kids' cuts were $15 and they all looked good. However, for the $150 I spent, I would rather have spent a little more somewhere else to ensure I left feeling good about it. It was hard to tell in my chair and my booking was towards the end of the day; after about 3.5 hours, I didn't check it all there, otherwise I would have mentioned something in person. read more

Ruined my hair, don't go here. The guy with the bad haircut in there completely ruined my hair. Walked in and asked for a trim walked out with choppy uneven layers. The place was also very dirty. Unfortunately, at my age it takes a while for the hair to grow back, so this was extremely devastating. read more

It was the worst haircut I have ever gotten. First, Tina charged me an extra $10 for a hair wash that did not include conditioning or even a massage. After the wash, my hair was still soaking wet. Without properly combing through it, she grabbed sections of my hair and started cutting and chopping. I was honestly in shock. She continued cutting randomly, and at one point I told her that I actually wanted to keep my hair long. I'm not sure she understood. By the time she finished, one side of my hair was short, thin, and uneven, while the other side was still long and thick. It looked terrible. After leaving the store, I was so upset that I decided to go back and ask for it to be fixed because it was too embarrassing to go somewhere else. Tina seemed to disappear, and another gentleman working there kindly offered to help. He checked my hair and did his best to repair the damage, but unfortunately the haircut was already beyond saving. He at least managed to make both sides look even, although "even" still meant both sides looked bad. I honestly felt bad that he had to fix the damage Tina caused. Overall, it was a very disappointing and upsetting experience. I will never go back! Now I have to stuck with my nightmare for the next few months. read more

Cant remember if i had been to this salon long ago but i loved how fast the wait and service was! I showed tina a picture of the cut i wanted and she did not disappoint!! I felt bad using my card for tip despite the signs prefacing cash tips are better but next time i wont forget to bring cash!! The price was also very affordable in comparison to other salons (~$25-35) but they do not wash your hair prior (at least they didnt for me but I came in with day old hair that seemed fairly manageable still) Thank you tina! read more

If I can I would not give any stars. I had an appointment and waited almost an hour and was later told that my appointment was canceled. I took the day off to get my hair done so opted with whoever was there that day to color my hair. It was the worse experience ever. After the coloring my hair turned orange. Not only that whatever color dye they used was the worse my hair was brittle and dried for many months. It's the worse ever. I will never go there again. read more

I asked for Ash ombre. The lady only bleach the outgrows black hair and left the bottom half unbleached. Which doesn't blend in naturally. She either lazy or doesn't want to do it. She want a full payment?! Such an ripoff! Never coming back again! read more

Magic Touch Salon - Horrible job! Ask for Ash ombré and did only half it. Ripoff! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

No star if possible. Really bad cut, don't recommend the guy to cut your hair at all....

TIP: Get your haircut done by Trang! She's amazing! I got my hair cut of Lan originally (older Asian lady), and it was a pretty bad haircut. I asked for some layers but they were uneven and choppy. The next day, I was just so unhappy with my haircut that I called back and Trang was able to fix my hair. I had to get my haircut done before flying out of town, and she tried so hard to accommodate my sister and I. I love my haircut now! read more

Haven't been back here since moving to San Jose but was in the area and needed a haircut - so thought I'd drop on in! Same owners and I must say, I miss coming here. Trang helped me with a quick cut before we started on the perm. Which went smoothly without a hitch! Staff was all friendly and gave me advice on how to maintain my perm. Very relaxing environment and the place is always clean! I don't mind making the drive from San Jose to San Leandro just to have my haircut here. Give them a try, you won't regret it! read more

Horrible highlight done by Tina. She is not knowledge on what she does. She would suggest more service is needed and increase the price.

I came here on Saturday morning to get my hair washed and blown. They spent half an hour on hair wash and blow. It costs me about $35 for their service. The place was ok, but the place where I get a hair wash is quite an old style. The women's haircut is about $25, and the men's is $15. They're fine to accept walk-in customers. read more

My layers look choppy and uneven. It's definitely not blended and prior to the cut I had asked for long layers. The stylist proceeded to chop it short anyway. I've had my hair styled many times with layers and this by far is probably the worst cut I've had. The only saving grace was my hair in the back was still long. I can't wear my hair straight and have to curl it for it to look decent. read more

I have been coming here for about 9 years now for cut and color. Trang does a great job and the prices are reasonable.

I did a hair cut yesterday, I told the hair stylist what I want and he gave me some options. End up we come with my hair style. The result is great. Thank you! read more

I've been coming here for YEARS! I CAME IN AS A WALK-IN TODAY AND WAS TAKEN CARW OF!! I've had services with Amy, Trang and most recently, Judy !!! I came in with a blonde, faded, coppery color and wanted a red/purple ombré/ balayage full head and Judy got down and gave me EXACTLY what I wanted. She worked with my hair to protect it and gave me really good advice on maintaining the color. Plus, as a customer, she didn't upsell me on anything but rather recommended a hot oil treatment instead of a haircut to protect my ends after the additional bleaching I did today! Please check them out, bring an inspiration photo and make sure to tip them right ! THANK YOU JUDY ! ILL SEE YOU AGAIN SOON read more

Magic Touch Salon - Another highlight touch up and haircut with Tina.. she did the amazing job!! - Hair Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

This review is solely for the amazing lady, AMY!!! It was such an impulsive decision when I walked into this salon that has been here for awhile. I was getting tired of driving all the way to San Jose for my haircuts and dyes. I didn't make an appointment and decided to give it a try. Initially I just wanted a haircut but after talking to Amy, I decided to get my hair dyed as well. Keep in mind, Amy did not even talk about dying my hair or anything. I was flying out for a vacation the next day and it was one of those spur at the moment decisions. LOL I asked Amy if she had time to give me a balayage! And she did not hesitant and took me in at like 3/4pm! She was absolutely amazing! I've never had my hair this short. And I absolutely LOVED IT. The balayage came out even better than I thought it was going to be. She stayed after hours to make sure that the color came out right! She is one of the most genuine hairstylists I have ever met in my life. You know you've met one of those that either super fake or did not care at all. She's such a lovely person! I wish I took the before pic (it was a nightmare) Amy took her time to make sure everything will turn out right! Trust the process! I didn't know the difference between balayage, ombré, and highlight. So Amy explained everything to me. Even when I clip my hair up, the color looks amazing! She didn't miss a single spot. THANK YOU SO MUCH AMY!! I'll be coming back just for you! read more

I called couple days ago to make an appointment and Tina picked up the phone. She was very accommodated with my time. When I walked in with my time slot, she immediately came and greet me. I show her a photo of color that I want to have, and due to my current hair color and damage, she tried her best to work with me. And the most impress part I had was after all the color and toning. I asked if she can help me trim my end a bit. She WAS VERY PATIENT AND DETAILED ! She took her time to fix each of my hair ! Yes, that's how I felt when she did it. I will surely go back to her for more color and cut later ! Thank you for the great work! read more

I found my place!! When you're feeling uggo and trying to "reinvent your look," doesn't it feel hella good when someone notices your new hair style and says it's bangin'?! Jerek here has the magic hands to make that happen for you. I first came here to chop off about 8 inches and leave with a lob. First signs of a good hair cut sesh? Conversations with the hair stylist. I gab and am not afraid to. Sitting in that chair is a holy sanctuary away from work and being a mom. I'm just me and I want to enjoy my solo time! (Can I get an amen?! Lol sike.) First first minutes proved I'd have a good hair cut. I left really satisfied with the results and even tricked people at work. I looked so good people thought we hired someone new lol. Then two weeks later I came back after doing some Pinterest research on balayage colors for brown skinned girls such as myself. I needed some color but was hesitant to try someone new. I ended up back here based on the reviews about Jerek's abilities and thought, why the hell not, let's do this. I came in basic and left bangin'. Three and a half hours later, with many belly laughs in between, I left the salon a hella satisfied patron once again. Check out the inspo, before and after pics. read more

Do yourself a favor and do NOT come here. I came in for a simple root touch up and cut. My regular stylist was busy so I go to another stylist (older, short hair). I give her simple instructions - V shaped hair cut, very little if any taken off the back. Simple enough. The layering and cut is atrocious. She attempted to Fix the choppy look by adding SO MANY "layers" which made it look worse. It was evident that she rushed though it as she was helping someone else at the same time. And she of course took a significant amount of hair off the back. WAIT THERES MORE! I walk outside and realize my roots are still the same color. I wanted them black to match the rest of my hair. I go back inside and point this out. No apology, no attempt to make it right. The response was that the stylist likely didn't leave the color on long enough to process. Lol. What a joke. I left with a terrible cut and my roots look the same. Save your money. read more

Magic Touch Salon - This was "the cut" choppy uneven. And SO much length taken off when asked specifically not to - Hair Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

Disrespected in a Huge Way! I was referred to this shop for hair coloring. I called and spoke with the hair coloring specialist. She may be a coloring specialist but her bedside manners suck. Without ever meeting me or even seeing photos, I think she assumed that I was African American. I asked for a specific color, she told me point blank, she did not want to do it and it won't last. WOW! Who does that sight unseen. Instead of saying she does not do African American hair, she made it appeared that the color I chose won't last. I am 62 years of age and to my recollection, NO coloring last. It grows out. She had not alternatives. Did not like that, so if you are a Black lady or man seeking to get your hair color, please do not waste your time calling this person, because she said it Won't last and She don't want to do it. I'm still stuck. Cassandra Chambers San Leandro, Real Estate Broker/Owner read more

It's been months since I've had a haircut, and Tina did an amazing job taking care of me today! She took her time washing my hair and scalp, and gave me a haircut that I loved - I felt pampered haha.

I have been to this salon several times (pre-pandemic mostly), and I've always had a great experience. read more

I went here to get a haircut from someone else for the first time since quarantine. Last time I will ever come here. I asked for a haircut with layers and it's clear that the lady cutting my hair had no clue what she was doing, but I was really trusting the process. Instead of getting the haircut I wanted, I got a mess that wasn't even cut symmetrically. I ended up having to fix it myself. Never coming back here read more

Magic Touch Salon - Mon is the best - Hair Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

Before beginning, I want to say that my post is related to one person and not directed at all the stylists at this location. I've come here before and generally have been happy with the other ladies. So I took my son here today and there's a male stylist that didn't do a good job of cutting my son's hair. To summarize, I asked the stylist to taper my son's hair and to do a small trim to the front. Also, I noted before starting to make sure to spray his hair wet since he had bed hair (i.e some areas where the hair didn't lay down). The only thing he did was spray it once and then proceeded to do a major cut to the area where I asked him to trim lightly (taper & blend). Ultimately, the hair ended up being choppy and inconsistent. When asked why he didn't blend it, his response was that my son's hair is weird and standing up, hence, that's how it's supposed to look. At that point, I got frustrated because this was the entire reason I asked him to wet it since most 8-10 year olds don't spend time to do their hair when they wake up. Also, I've brought my son to get his haircut since he's been 2-3 years old and never had an issue with the result. Ultimately, he said "I won't charge you for this" but I was more upset that I'm now having to spend more time finding somewhere else to have it fixed before the holidays. read more

I have been going to this salon for couple years now and was did by 3 different hair stylist (Ming,Trang & Tina) and i love the outcome every time! This most recent one was done by Tina ( this is the 2nd time she did my hair) and i love it ! She did what she could to achieve what i was asking for ! I wanted to go lighter and ashier and thats what she did! She's also very nice, friendly and easy to talk with! Tina is definitely my go to and would not want any other to touch my hair other than Tina ( or Trang if she's not available) if you thinking about getting your hair done here definitely ask for them! They wont let you down! (Ive always had experiences that even after a year of getting my hair done either by Ming, Trang and Tina, i would still get compliments) Another person ( i didnt get his name) did my stepdaughter's hair too for the first time -she got baby high lights and she loves it! He did a great job as well! Thanks yall! read more

Because it's my second time to visit there. She cut first time good that's why I called that barber twice and waiting whole day. Also she don't know about Services.
