Mindy is all what everyone already says and more! She is a woman with a heart of gold with a clear passion for hair and self-care. She is very patient and kind with any questions you have, and you can feel how much you are in good hands with her. After receiving a haircut from her, I feel like a new person with a fresh start for the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse! Her guidance and wisdom made me much more confident in all of my decisions, and it was a warm feeling talking with her. If you ever need a haircut, color, or treatment, you are set to go. She is a wonderful person with a gentle and caring heart. I think I found another wonderful hair stylist/specialist! Highly recommend! *** Bonus Note: Make sure to check what payments she accepts! I believe it is Zelle, Venmo, or cash. We must always be ready for our specialists who take such great care of us! :) read more

i'm pretty picky with my hair, but I love how my hair came out with Mindy. It was the perfect length and the bangs have lasted a really long time. She really heard what I wanted and delivered. read more

Mindy is simply the best. I've been a regular client for nearly 15 years, and there's a reason for that long commitment. She's an absolute pro. She consistently remembers my standard cut but is also fantastic when I want a change. Recently, I brought in photos for a new style, and she was very helpful in discussing options, suggesting what would work best for my hair texture and growth (especially those annoying cowlick spots!). She's efficient, but never rushed. The entire experience from wash to the final styling is seamless. I highly recommend Mindy to anyone (including guys who want a low-maintenance approach like I do) looking for a consistently great haircut. She's the reason I haven't even thought about looking elsewhere for over a decade. read more

I've been a loyal client of Mindy's for over 10 years, and she continues to impress. She's an incredibly talented hairstylist who takes her craft seriously, and she runs her business with the same level of professionalism. Mindy is consistent, easy to work with, and a genuine joy to be around. I'd wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic cut. read more

Mindy has been cutting my hair since college (~15 years). I usually come in not knowing what haircut I want, but down to try a new style as long as it's low maintenance. She's done a great job whether it's a pixie cut, a bob cut, asymmetrical, long hair with bangs, etc. I have super straight hair and she always manages to give it volume. Her haircuts are so good that I even convinced my whole family to have their hair cut by her. She takes the time to make sure your haircut comes out perfect! read more

My (now?) husband and I have gotten our haircuts from Mindy for probably over 10 years now. Her memory for what hairstyles look good on each of us is rock solid to the point where we give some super vague explanation or request the usual and she knows exactly what to do. Mindy is transparent about her assessments of what looks would work without being pushy or rude, so on some adventurous years I like to talk through some ideas with her (sometimes a lady wants bangs!) and she'll share her thoughts respectfully while being candid when I need it. If you don't have a clue what you want and perhaps have harbored some negative haircut experiences in the past, I think Mindy is a wonderful and patient hairstylist that'll leave you feeling confident and good after getting your haircut. read more

Mindy has been cutting my hair for so long - I don't even know how long it has been. Easily over 10 years! She is always quick to respond to messages when trying to set up an appointment. Most importantly though is her quality of work. My hair always looks great after visiting. Thank you Mindy! read more

I cant say enough good things about Mindy. I have been with Mindy for 10+ years and many different versions of me and my hair. From short A line bobs to medium waves to wanting to wear my hair long naturally curly, she always makes it work! Love her! read more

Five stars doesn't even begin to cover the experience of having Mindy as our family's hairstylist. For nearly 15 years, she has been the absolute best. My commitment speaks for itself: I moved over an hour away a decade ago, and not once did I consider finding a new hairstylist closer to home. Making the drive to see Mindy is a non-negotiable part of my schedule, and it's worth every mile. The quality, precision, and consistency of her work are unmatched--I have never walked out of her chair with anything less than a perfect cut. What started as my personal appointment has grown into a cherished family ritual. Now, my wife and two kids are also loyal clients! What was once a simple necessity has transformed into a wonderful family adventure. We all look forward to our appointments because Mindy doesn't just cut hair; she creates genuine connections and makes everyone feel comfortable, valued, and stylish. Mindy is truly a master of her craft and an integral part of our family's routine. If you are looking for a hairstylist who combines world-class skill with genuine, heartfelt care, look no further. She is, quite simply, the best! read more

I have very curly hair and so I am very nervous having people cut and style my hair. I need a cut that I can straighten easily or leave curly. I had had some particularly bad experiences with some previous stylists butchering my hair. Therefore, I'm so glad I found Mindy. She has been now doing my hair for several years. I couldn't be happier. read more

I've been getting my hair done by Mindy for the past eight years, and I can honestly say she is the best hairdresser I've ever had. Every visit, she takes the time to listen to what I want, offers helpful suggestions, and makes sure I leave feeling confident and happy. Her attention to detail, creativity, and consistency are unmatched. Whether it's highlights, or a full restyle, she always delivers amazing results. If you're looking for someone who truly knows her craft and genuinely cares about her clients, I can't recommend Mindy enough. She deserves all the support this Christmas season--treat yourself and book an appointment! You won't be disappointed. read more

I've been seeing Mindy for over 10 years, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. Every visit, she gives me the perfect haircut and color that suit my face, style, skin tone and lifestyle. My cut always grows out beautifully, and the color looks natural, vibrant, and never harsh. On top of her skill, she is very professional, consistent, and genuinely cares that I leave the salon with gorgeous hair. I highly recommend Mindy to anyone looking for a stylist you can rely on for years." read more

She listens well and will give her input on whether certain styles/cuts can be modified to suit my needs over the years. Can't say enough good things about Mindy and highly recommend! read more

I visited Mindy when I moved to the area based on the great Yelp reviews. Don't be deceived!!!! I asked for a balayage and it was SO bad that I would have paid her not to ruin my hair like she did. My hair looked almost completely dark on the outside and was bleached something awful on the inside. It took several visits to another salon and multiple haircuts and months before the damaged hair finally grew out. read more

Mindy has been doing my hair for 10 years and she is amazing! She listens to what I want and then delivers exactly that. By now she knows my preferences but still listens when I want to try something different. I've started taking my kids to her and she gives them proper hair cuts. Bonus points that she does this while they squirm. read more

Straight hair, curly hair, silky hair or any type of hair that you have, with the magic of Mindy's skilled design and amazing cut, it always creates the greatest and unique style for you. She knows exactly how to take care of your hair. Mindy has been my hairdresser for over 10 years. She is humble, kind, and gives very much attention to detail. Every time she asks me how do you want me to cut your hair? I always respond to her with the same request: "Whatever you want, Mindy, you are my best hairdresser". She knows how to cut my hair with a graceful look. Today, we remembered historical memories together. She traveled a long distance and gave me a Home-Haircut. We both had face masks on. When she finished her final touch, she asked me to check my mirror. My hair looks beautiful and everything is just what I expected. Mindy is confident, she is very proud of her hair design. The past years we have been working together have created for us a trusting relationship. I am very proud to be a loyal customer for Mindy. Thank you for your hard work. I am fortunate to have such a great hairdresser like you. COVID will not stop you from being a stunning hairdresser! Thanks Mindy. read more

This review is overdue - I highly recommend Mindy, at least for people who have straight black Asian hair like me. I've gotten my hair cut by Mindy twice, the second time I got bangs for the first time, and she did such a detailed amazing job on them. I appreciate that Mindy is honest about whether something will look good on you or not. She listens to what you want, and knows how to make a haircut fit your skin tone, face shape, etc. I haven't gotten my hair dyed by her, but I did refer my sister to her who got her hair dyed. It looked so good! Again, Mindy was communicative about what colors would suit her pale skin, veering my sister away from what she originally requested. It looked so good in the end. Mindy has won my trust. I never get haircuts because I don't trust hair stylists. Although I don't live in the Bay, whenever I'm in the area, I visit Mindy for a haircut. read more

I complimented a stranger on their hair and they excitedly recommended Mindy to me! I made an appointment for my first professional haircut, and soon after made another appointment to dye my hair! It was a fun experience. The environment is clean and pleasant, and my stylist was patient, kind, and skilled. The price is fair, too. Thank you! read more

I'm so happy! I have a TONS of super thick, dark brown hair and wanted to get blonde highlights to match my 3 super blonde children.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you the magic that Miss Mindy C is. I found Mindy on Yelp when I was looking for a stylist to do something bold with my hair; I saw pictures of her clients with dark hair and bright colors and was sold. Mindy was very communicative over phone/text and I was able to book an appointment for later that week. I have VERY long, thick, & curly hair (think Mia Thermopolis pre-makeover scene) and Mindy worked WONDERS on it. I told her I wanted pink, with a little purple, and bold and she did it. Mindy cut & styled my hair beautifully, adding extra movement with both cuts and colors (which was no small feat!) She paid attention to the fact that I wear my hair up in a messy bun a lot and made sure I was able to see the colors & details regardless if my hair was up or down. To say I'm happy with the result is an understatement. I walked out of the salon feeling like a million bucks (even as a single lady on Valentine's Day!) and will be back next time I want another color change. 10/10 would recommend Mindy C for your hair needs. read more

Found Mindy here on Yelp and was nervous trying a new stylist, but she was fantastic! She's super communicative over text and was able in quickly get me in for a pre-appt consultation. She seemed to understand exactly what I wanted, but she still recommends bringing a picture as I wasn't sure how to vocalize it. Really beautiful salon, easy location. Couldn't be happier with the result, which is even better than what I wanted! Before and after: read more

Mindy is fantastic! I've been going to her for years now and she never disappoints. She works with you to get your perfect hair and answers questions about cuts and colors professionally. She's very friendly and personable so I always have a great time at the salon with her. I recently went to her after coloring my hair somewhere else (which was a big mistake!) which left my hair super brassy and orange. Mindy went above and beyond and brought my hair back to life with an ashy, natural brown color which I absolutely love! If you're looking for a hair stylist that is professional, friendly and absolutely fantastic at her job, go to Mindy! read more

Mindy C Hair Stylist - Left: before toning (orange and brassy) Right: after toning (ashy brown) - Hair Stylists Near Me - Mountain View, California

My first haircut was AMAZING! The second, it was as if I'd never been there before. I had to have corrective color and cut to fix the issues. It was the worst haircut I've ever had, by far. The new stylist who fixed the cut and color was almost speechless at what had happened. She said the stylist had clearly gotten confused during the cut and completely lost her way. It's taken 4 months to grow out and correct the damage. read more

Mindy is MY hair guru. I have referred her through and through for my friends because she treats me and my hair so well. Guess what? The one time I cheat on her to get my hair colored by my friend, my hair died. IT DIED (it actually did). I was the first ombre she had done and it looked fabulous. Even after my friend had dyed my hair, Mindy cut my hairstyle so that it would flow with the hair color I already had. I've never had someone listen so intently to what I wanted. She even talked me out of getting bangs, she was right. The first time I met her, she taught me how to curl my hair with a straightener in less than 5 minutes. Now...if she could just teach me how to do a blow out by myself... highly highly recommend Mindy! read more

Mindy C Hair Stylist - 4 inch haircut after someone else's dye job killed my hair - Hair Stylists Near Me - Mountain View, California

I love Mindy, and have been going to her for close to 5 years now ever since discovering her on Yelp. She loves experimenting with my hair colors as much as I do, and never complains or tries to talk me out of my ideas even if they're majorly time consuming. I do appreciate that she will be quick to let me know if something won't look good on me so I don't end up being dissatisfied (whereas other stylists may agree just to charge you more). She's an expert with bobs for the time that I had one, and she's great with color as well now that my hair is longer. We've gone all shades of red with my hair before finally settling on a shade, and I usually get 2-2.5 months out of each shade despite red being the hardest to maintain. Overall, highly recommended! read more

Mindy C Hair Stylist - Burgundy/red overall color (darker red/violet at roots) + red "pop" highlights. And cut! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Mountain View, California

Mindy C is the best! I went to Mindy for the first time 6 months ago after receiving a terrible cut elsewhere, & she worked a miracle! I'm in the process of growing back out my hair and went for a trim the other day & once again I left a happy camper :). I am not too hard to please until it comes to my hair. I've never had a hair lady that I loved until I met Mindy! Mindy is very personable, patient and knows what she's doing. My hair is thick and wavy and hard to tame but she takes her time in perfecting the cut and style. My sister told me about her and now I want to tell everyone else about her! read more

I've wanted to do something dramatic w my color for ages but always worried about someone ruining my hair health or looking shoddy like some others' I've seen. Finally asked Mindy for dramatic purple streaks- yet still sort of subtle enough for work setting. She is very calm & patient & details oriented. Great quality - my hair stayed smooth & healthy even after bleach & color. I've been stopped on the street by ladies asking me where I did my hair! Highly Recommend. read more
