We had three haircuts here with my family. Their $20 haircut special turned out to be $30 for me because I had "longer hair." They took 10 minutes to do my hair, which shouldn't have mattered given my hair length. One haircut was $28, and another was $35, with no shampoo or special requests. They have a restroom, which I asked to use, and they refused. They didn't understand the instructions I gave for my haircut and messed it up, instead catering to what they thought was best. My mother's back hair is completely uneven and cut diagonally. read more

Haircut and my first ever beard trim. I came here on a friends recommendation and the lady did a fantastic job! Will definitely be going back. Haircut and beard trim for $30. She deserved a good tip. read more

See all

Will not come here ever again. Took my two sons here to get their haircut. As my 6 year was getting her haircut he proceeded to say ow. Instead of having concern the lady cutting his hair proceeded to make fun of him. Will never take them here again. Worst customer service read more

Older lady ignores instructions and shows a complete lack of care. There were still random long hairs sticking out everywhere when she finished. She rushed through the haircut in 5 minutes even though there wasn't anyone waiting. Sad how a Vietnamese salon doesn't know how to cut Asian hair. read more

I can't belive this place has a more than one star from anyone. Those people must be the lucky few who actually get cut right from this place. My brother first started going here when they first opened. He asked for a simple fade. They left him with the crookedest line in the back of his head. When he complained, the sisters actually had the gall to say that the haircut they gave him was perfect and the line was fine... it was his head that was crooked. HILARIOUS STUFF if it weren't actually true. When he was really into keeping his hair completely shaved, he went back because he was too lazy to do it himself and too cheap to go anywhere with actual skill... besides he figured, how can they mess up a complete shave? They did. He came home cleaning up the strands left too long. Then my mom, desperate for a trim, was subjected to a 3 minutes quick sweep. When she complained that the lady cutting her hair didn't even go through the entire head. They then went through her head like a weedwacker, ruined what little shape was left from the previous cut, and made her look like Rod Stewart. Don't go here.... maybe if you want a funny, self-deprocating story to tell people. read more

The worst haircut I have ever received. This place was terrible and they screwed up a pretty easy haircut. I have a receding hairline and instead of making the hair longer to hide it, like every other place I have been to, they cut everything even. They left stray hairs on my neck and did a terrible job. It's cheap at 14 dollars but I can see why they don't have a lot of customers. read more

Looking for a crappy hair cut? For your hair dresser to argue with you the whole time? Your dresser to cut into your hairline and didn't even tell you she made the mistake? Want to be rushed out in 10min before you asked for adjustment? This is the place to be! First, I'm easy customer, always. My previous hair person from LA cuts my hair in very simple manner. 3 on the side, fade, trim on top for combing. Is that too much to ask? My previous hair dressers never said a word. The lady (who speaks a little more English than the other) was so against trimming the top that she kept arguing with me the whole way through the cut. Second, her equipment is old so the shave digs into your skin. She also doesn't care if the customer cringes when she does that. So if you're a working professional who is looking for a good hair cut for work. Do yourself a favor and finding a better one. I'm done with these people after this second time being there. As for her mistake, she shave into my hairline making it looks like there's a patch. How bad can you be at cutting hair to not being able to do a straight line? In honesty, if you're looking for cheap and barely decent cut. This is the place. Don't expect careful and detail cut. Lastly, did I tip her? Yeah, I always tip 30% and she didn't even thank me. She didn't even acknowledge her mistake nor did she look at me in the face when getting the money. Talking about rudeness all around. So much for customer service. read more

I'm a guy. I need a #2 fade on the side and a trim on top. I need it fast, efficient and looking good. The ladies here do a great job of that and the price is good. A+! read more

Love this place! Really cheap, really fast, and more importantly, really good! I've been coming here since '06 and can't imagine going anywhere else. The small business/family vibe makes you feel at home. The barbers are not native English speakers but that doesn't stop them from being really friendly. Love visiting Perfect Cuts. They always hook me up. Pro-tip: They have a bonus card system. Every 8th card cut is FREE! read more

Perfect place to get worse haircut and your ears poked by long nails of the barber. Also they allowed dogs before and the last time I went there they kicked out my dog and my sister saying no dogs allowed all of sudden with no sign indicating that. Super disrespectful. read more

I was looking for a cheap haircut. I had not cut my hair for about 10 months, and it's grown past my wait. It was starting to drive me crazy. I am busy and have no time to fuss with my hair, so lately it's piled up with a couple hair sticks to hold it up. I used to spend over $100 each time I went to the salon, but after buying a house, I had to cut back on all the extra expenses that aren't necessities. Hair expense is one of them. I was tempted to go to Supercuts around the corner, but the reviews looked really bad. I called 3 other places, and this place is the cheapest and reviews seem to be either really good or really bad. I figured I'd go check it out and make my own judgement. It's just hair. If it's bad, it will grow back. The place ain't fancy, and I didn't expect it to be. Two women were working and the place was packed. I probably waited at least 30 minutes. It was Sunday afternoon after all. I watched the women cutting other people's hair including two kids, and one was 4 years old. The hairdressers were careful and courteous with the kids. My hair was cut in layers as I instructed. It's a bit shorter than I thought, but that happens almost every time. Again, it will grow back. I was pretty happy with the way it turned out. She curled my hair after it was cut. I think it looks cute. It was $14. I can't remember the last time I spent less than $50 at a haircut place. I will definitely go back there. read more

I went to this perfect hair cut shop and ask them to cut my hair by showing the picture. But they ruin my hair style I am not sure if they looked at the photo properly.they shorten my hair and cut my hair in different looks then I have expected, now it looks so odd . Shamelessly they cut my hair zigzag which prove that they are unprofessional. There work really upset me as hair is very important part of looks and if it got damage then it takes long time to make proper look!!! I don't know her name ??? read more

This is worst freakin place for a hair cut. The older lady, she doesn't hear your instructions just assumes blindly and cuts. She was on rush even though there was no one waiting. I told her i wanted 5 on top and she did 2. Never visiting this place again. And not very professional cut either. read more

I love these gals ! Always sweet, polite , induatrious n reasonably priced !!! Two sisters - somebody said on here. I wanba go dere ....like NOW !!! , but just can't get the " HOURS " on Yelp ......... read more

Horrible place ... Really may be boys should be ok but girls don't make mistake like I did .... Its cheap but you are better off paying couple more dollars and going to nicer and more hygienic place.. The lady made me sit on the chair without wiping after her previous client and made me wear same apron without cleaning .... I wish I would have take this as a bad sign and backed out ... I asked for a trim and the lady kept cutting my hair into layers .... She cut it so short I would have been better off if I had asked her for style ... I literally cried .... I did not wanted to make scene there but I am getting so sad and angry everytime I see mirror ... I wish I never tried this place ... read more

I think they do better job on men's hair than ladies. I saw the little boy next to me got a very stylish hair design.

My boyfriend has been going to Perfect Cuts since it opened up in the beginning of the year. $10 haircuts...every time!! The place gets really crowded on the weekend and rightfully so: every time you get a cut, you get a stamp which - after 10 paid haircuts - you get the next one free! For $10 it's basically free anyway but it's nice to know that you have a freebie to look forward to. The haircuts seem to be comprised of mostly men...and they all seem to be sets of siblings or family members. Every time a customer comes in, the owners - who are sisters - often say "Your brother was just here the other day!" or "I just cut your dads hair!" Cute. I usually tag along to Perfect Cuts with the boyfriend for one reason, and one reason only: $7 eyebrow waxing. End. Of. Story. read more

This isn't a boutique, it is a place to get a quick, decent, inexpensive haircut (especially if you are a guy.) Usually not too long of a wait. No problem with them cutting into hairline. No digs with long nails. just a quick haircut at a cheap price! read more

$10 for a men's haircut. If your an asian guy who is having a hard time looking for a nice short haircut, just tell the lady you want the no. 3 style. It's a nice office or any day haircut. Short on the side and the back. Just enough on top. Just the way I like it. Reminds me of the haircut I used to have back home, they call it barber's cut. read more

I've been here twice. Thumbs UP: - cheap - fast - no appointments needed - opens late till evening Thumbs DOWN: - some staffs don't understand English - $1 charged if you pay with card - definitely not for girls Will I go again? YES YES! read more

Who the fuck is everybody here its my hair.... And she was like you dont have to pay if you are not happy.... Its not about the money ... I asked her Can she bring my hair back if i pay her but she just rolled her eyes when i asked her that read more

I'm a male and have been getting my hair cut by Mark for at least three years. He has done exactly what I have asked and has done an AWESOME job each time. By the time he is done, I walk out the door laughing by Marks AWESOME sense of humor. I see he every three weeks. Aldo Edmonton,AB read more

Horrible. The younger Asian lady takes much more care while cutting. The older one (who's also the owner I presume) is always in a rush, is condescending and of course, in the end, did a bad job - my sidelocks on both side were not aligned, even my haircut which was done with a trimmer was far from perfect. On top of that, though the price is $12, they charge $1 extra if you pay by card. Far from perfect - definitely not recommended! read more

Good experience. Good place for boys cuts. Got really lucky with timing. Got there with no wait, left with standing room only. No frills, friendly, straight forward transaction. Will be back, hoping to not have to wait very long. read more

Great service, very quick and very clean, and it only took me 20 minutes to get a clean fade. I would very recommend this barbershop as the barbers are very nice and sincere. This will be my number one shop for years to come. read more

Earlier this month, I wrote a review about this Perfect Cuts business in order to point out their poor quality in service, and unprofessional and discriminatory treatments towards female customers. According to Yelp, it did not"make the cut" and therefore not being calculated into their rating. I did not know that we are "applying" to post on Yelp, since the words "make the cut" .is being used. In addition, Yelp claimed that number of posts in the past of a reviewer is also a factor in deciding whether a person's post "make the cut." In that event, Yelp is saying that people who posts more often, which help to sustain their Site, is more trustworthy. May be all these bias rules should be printed in bold on top of your site, so that non frequent posters would not waste our time. read more
