I've been getting my hair cut at New Cuts for over 20 years. Ken and Jeannie have become a regular part of my schedule and life. I don't need anything fancy and I'm glad that I don't have to pay fancy prices when I come here. During the pandemic I learned the very hard way that cutting hair isn't as easy as it looks and so thankful that I no longer need to resort to that now. I love being able to support a local business that's been serving Mountain View for 30+ years. read more

I went to Jeanie for a haircut March 25 based on her reviews and about every 6-7 weeks since based on her listening to issues I have with natural wavy,baby fine hair.She did an exceptional dry cut and taught me how to style it a bit differently to minimize the swirling crown. Now, Jeanie knows exactly how to cut and when slightly shorter is needed for camping trips. She is very friendly, efficient and yet takes time to "fine tune" the end result. My opinion is she is superb and I am very happy to have found her!! read more

I don't think that I can cut my hair as badly as Ken did even if I were blindfolded and had to tie my dominant arm behind my back. I asked to have half an inch trimmed from the top; Ken took off twice that. I asked for a 0.5 fade on the sides, Ken gave me a....what's a fade when there's no fade? The part where my "fade" meets the time is crooked. There's a literal jagged line with absolutely no blending. When I asked Ken to fix this he just informed me that my haircut was done. Shoddy service - save yourself the trip. read more

Worst haircut experience Ive ever had. I wanted to find a place that had asian barbers so they would be used to asian hair. But it doesnt really matter if the barber refuses to take instructions! When i walked in a woman on the left asked me to sit. I gave her BASIC instructions and she wasnt trying to hear any of it, saying that I barely want a hair cut. Im like you can take a half inch off, but at this point my instructions seemed to have made her nervous and shes laughing at my requests. Its like as if she was making sure I was ready to be disappointed because she regularly disappoints people who come in with any idea of what they want. I cant speak for the other barbers there but avoid the woman on the left. Its like getting a haircut from your mom who happens to also be having a very bad day. She gives zero f*** for what you want your haircut to be. read more

My go to haircut place. Jeanie (sp?) is friendly, happy, and efficient. Great value for a decent cut. Recommended to call in advance to book to avoid waiting times. Plus - right next door to a pizza place where you can get some tasty (but getting more expensive) breadsticks (cheesy not worth the effort). read more

They do take credit cards. Many families bring their kids here for haircuts. They have great prices.

Old habits die hard. I'd been getting my hair cut in SF for ages but the trek up there has gotten increasingly harder for me. Haircuts got farther and fewer in between. After looking at my shaggy self in the mirror one day, I decided to yelp some close by places. This place sounded like just the ticket. A short drive, no waiting, and a great haircut later, I found my new go to. The lady did mine this and she was motherly and friendly. She told me she did not meet me before, so her memory must be very good. Very efficient yet gave the right amount of attention to what i needed. read more

Simple. Quick. Good value. Professional. Looks good for a simple make hair cut. Please note that this is definitely not a high end fancy hair salon. read more

See all

Terrible, terrible job, never coming here again. Went it for a simple kids cut, I feel bad for my son, now I need to find someone who can fix it. Poor job! read more

Ken and Genie are so awesome. Their quality is great and very consistent. I bring my boys every couple of weeks and we always are very satisfied with the haircut and value. read more

Jeanny is super nice and talkative. Had short time to get a haircut, I was in and out fast. She's been a Bay Area native since the 80s. Had a great experience, be sure to stop by! read more

Note: I've only been here once, so I'll update this review if things change with more visits. The biggest thing is: $12 for a men's haircut. Everywhere else I called was charging $19+. I'm a grad student with very little money. My hair is not worth that much, haha; I just need to look presentable. New Cuts is run by a nice Asian man and woman, Ken and Jenny. Jenny cut my hair, and she was pretty skillful and fast. I asked for "short on the sides, maybe a 1?" and she noted that my hair was really dense, and asked if I wanted to try even shorter with a fade. It turned out great. She was talkative, but in a fun manner, so I enjoyed it. Some people may not, but I'm sure if you just respond less to her questions and not ask questions back, the conversation will fizzle out and she'll get it. The location is nice. The parking lot isn't too tiny. I'll be back! read more

Didn't cut my hair properly. Messed it up. The person also seemed in rush or disinterested in getting feedback while doing the hair cut.

I have been going to another salon for many years... however, the one woman show was on vacation for... probably a month by now so I have to find someone else. The Asian guy is pretty quiet and the lady, Jenny is pretty talkative as some of the review stated. The dog Marbel (?) is also very friendly. What I like about this place are: 1. $10 hair cut for adult 2. They listen to us on how to cut the hair. The old place I went to, no matter what you said, your hair came out about the same as she always does. Ken was working with me how I want it and was pretty patience. I was a little nervous in the beginning cause he uses the shaver pretty high up but he did use scissor to cut afterward. My son want a different kind of hair cut, the non-shave kind (besides the sides and back), and Jenny did a pretty good job... so far, it looks great at a glimpse but will find out how it looks like later. Anyway, for $10, this is a great value. 3. Fast The problem one has choosing a value hair cut for $10 is you wonder if they know what they are doing. I've been to couple of them in the same area where those ladies really don't know how to cut hair but just buzz it short... that's dangerous. Ken and Jenny has been around for a while, and for my situation, Ken did a better job, possibly because he knows men's hair style. Even though it's nothing fancy like a stylist, but for men who need a quick buzz cut for short hair, it's good value. read more

Not good haircut overall. Hair afterward look like I have bad hair day. Expect it's bad hair day every day. Friendly tho.

I've been coming to Jenny for some time now. She is super funny and I always enjoy getting my haircuts with her. I have super curly hair and I find that only Jenny knows the proper way to cut curly hair. I made a mistake of going to someone else during this pandemic (because this salon was closed) and was in and out in less than 10 min. I was so upset. My hair was horrible. Found out Jenny was opened again so I came last week and I was so happy! read more

I've been coming to Ken and Jeannie for a few years now. Jeannie always remembers me and exactly what kind of cut and style I prefer. The cut itself is always very quick and I usually don't have to wait long, even without an appointment. They have raised the prices some, especially after having a rough COVID period, but they are still very inexpensive. $17 for my hair cuts, not including tip. read more

Jeanny cut my hair today. I was impressed. Good job, professional and reasonable price.

Pretty unbeatable price, I think it was $18 for my long hair. The lady that cut my hair was fun. I usually dread the awkward small talk that comes with haircuts, so I don't go as often as I should, but I enjoyed talking with her. She was very cautious about not taking off more than I was comfortable with, even though it was a mess and needed a massive trim. I took one star off because it ended up uneven in the back, with one side a bit longer than the other, but it's not terribly noticeable and it's still a solid cut given the low price. read more

Fast, efficient, and friendly service with a ridiculously low price - $10 for a men's haircut?! On weekday evenings, I have never had to wait and have received a great cut each time I visited for less than half the price I pay elsewhere. read more

Cheap, fast haircuit. $17 for basic men's haircut. Ample parking in the front.

I came in for the first time trying to fix a haircut I didn't like recently. I asked Ken for a straight cut and that's exactly what he gave me. He was kind and the environment was warm. Thanks a lot, see you soon! read more

Basic haircut, fast, efficient and economical. Going to be my regular haircut place.

Glad I found this spot. Great men's cut by Mr Tran. Definitely a good spot. I'll be back when in the area. Recommend.

Very cheap and one of the best haircuts I've gotten! Will definitely be coming here in the future. Ken did a good job and made sure my cut was exactly how I wanted, not rushing at all even though there were customers waiting for him. They now take credit card as well!! read more

Locally-owned. Fast service, friendly, and cheap. I would definitely recommend this place :)

Jeannie is the ONLY person I trust to cut my hair and she ALWAYS does a great job of it!

Quick, convenient and affordable for a men's haircut ($9). I have been going here for 2 years now and always have left satisfied. Definitely recommend for any Asian, Latino and caucasian hair. You can walk in without any appointments. I cannot speak for the women's prices or women's haircuts but it seems that most women make appointments here. And from my experience the men to women customer ratio is about 3:2. read more

Very experienced stylist. She was quick and did the haircut perfectly. Was quick to respond over phone as well for enquiries. read more

A wonderful local business alternative to the myriad of franchises; Ken & Jenny are more skillful and a better value than any salon around!

This is a great salon if you're looking to get a reasonably priced haircut. They're no hair stylist or professional experts, but they do a great job at this price ($12 for men, $19 for women). Definitely not the best, but it's a bargain and the best part is that you would be out in 10-15 min. Would definitely come back to this place. Peace! read more

$12 men's cut - called and walked in ten minutes later. The lady did great. Next to a pizza joint and laundry mat. Will go back

This place gave me a better haircut in 10-15 mins than most places could in 40+ mins. Very affordable as well

Both Ken and Jenny are excellent. I've paid $120 for a haircut that isn't as good as I get here. Jenny is funny and talks a lot so she's entertaining as well as good at what she does. I have had her cut my hair a few times. Ken is quiet and quick - and he is my favorite. He cuts my hair better than I've ever had it done. If you go here, the price is so low that I hope you give them a big tip. This married couple has been in business a long time, and they don't charge nearly what they could - so don't be cheap in your tip! I want them around a long time! read more

Note that there are at least two places named New Cuts in Mountain View which are not affiliated; I'm reviewing the one on Rengstorff Ave. next to the Pizza place, 7-11, and Laundromat. I've been getting my haircut here for years, driving all the way out from Morgan Hill, then later from San Jose and Sunnyvale after finding out that an acquaintance comes all the way out from Las Vegas to get his haircut here. I also later found out that my relatives from Napa were regulars, despite the long distance. Ken and Jeany are the best, and even though the haircut only costs $9, I often tip $6 more because of how good they are. I used to pay over $15 for haircuts, but they weren't as good as the ones I usually get from Ken or Jeany. At first, I mistakenly went to another place called New-Cuts because I didn't know the exact address, then had to find this New-Cuts to fix the terrible haircut I received at the other one. Jeany generously offerd to re-cut my hair for free, even though it was a totally unrelated competitor with the same name who messed it up, but I insisted on paying for my second haircut that day because of the wonderful job she did. I continue to come here for my haircuts, even though there are other places much closer to where I live. read more

Jenny is fantastic. She pays attention to details and remembers the way you prefer the cut. The next time you come in, she instantly call your name and also remember a few things about you. read more

It's my first time getting a haircut in MV and it is absolutely a wonderful experience. Super friendly with a really good price！

I've been going to this place for years! $9 bucks and I'm outta there with a good haircut. I think this is the best kept secret in Mt. View. A friend told me about this place and I started going there. I've spent $20-$50 for haricuts at other places (salons, Santana Row, etc), and believe me, they aren't as good as this place. read more

I have been going to this place for more than a year now. Ken and Jenny are nice people. I am done usually in 15 mins and get a decent haircut every time. Prices cannot be beat. read more

I have had my hair cut at New Cuts Beauty Salon since 1997. They are great people with a great price. You could pay a lot more, but they are better! read more
