Recently moved to Long Beach so was looking on yelp to find a place to start getting my haircuts and I'm beyond happy to have found this gem of a place with Sophie. I'm really particular with my hair, and as a first time customer she took the time to really listen to all of my preferences and made sure we were on the same page before she started with my hair. Once she started with the clippers and combs, I could immediately feel her experience and attention to detail with every stroke. She was a true professional, and has a great eye for symmetry and haircuts in general. She was also really professional yet very personable and fun to talk to during the cut, making my first time here an overall really pleasant experience. As she interacted with her coworkers and other customers, I could tell she really has developed relationships with them and loves what she does. As I got to up to pay I was also pleasantly surprised with the low cost of just $20 for a men's haircut. Would highly recommend a haircut here especially for guys and I definitely will be looking forward to coming back for my next haircut. Thanks Sophie! read more

Scissor Hands - Thanks for the fresh haircut! - Hair Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

Love love love my hair ! Let's start by saying I am very particular who touches my hair but my girl Vannie did her thing, she did a trim and an balayage and it was exactly how I wanted it! It was an all day process but it was totally worth it, and she took her time with it, and there was no rush at all which I love as well. Definitely going back to get a touch up and trim when needed read more

Scissor Hands - Cut and balayage - Hair Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

I was browsing Yelp a few weeks ago for a new salon to get my haircut closer to my office. I found Scissor Hands and went through many reviews and pictures describing Sopheas work. I decided to give it a shot and made an appointment with Sophea. My hair is kind of difficult to cut for a guy, because it grows in many different directions (I've been told by many stylists over the years). I walked in, met Sophea and she instantly started diagnosing the best way to cut my hair. To say I was impressed with her knowledge and attention to detail would be an understatement. She was very cordial and made sure I was totally comfortable during my visit. The final result of my haircut was EXACTLY what I hoped for! Very happy customer! I am actually writing this review after making my appointment for my 2 week haircut with her. I will be requesting her hair cutting skills every other week from here forward. Thanks Sophea! read more

Wonderful experience, best fade you could get around Long Beach. Unique cutting technique, clean, fast, and affordable. This is where I will be once a month. read more

Sophie was amazing. I am really happy to have selected this place for my baby's first cut! It came out beautifully. Excellent and detailed job, done with patience and love, that you can see in the final result. Baby and family more than happy. Thank you Sophie for all! read more

I came here for a simple cut based on the reviews on yelp. I called about an hour beforehand and asked for an appointment and they were super friendly and nice and able to accommodate me calling last minute. I wanted quite a bit of my dead hair cut off and I also wanted bangs which was pretty drastically different from the cut I came in with. I didn't get the name of the lady who cut my hair but she did such a great job she asked detailed questions about what I wanted and cut it so good and very fast (but she wasn't rushing at all)! I definitely recommend this place, it's really refreshing to have a good haircut, wish I had gotten the name of the girl who did it she was thin with long blonde hair, very professional and sweet def will be coming here again for a trim when I need it! It was also really affordable read more

I don't mind paying more for a good service, but I'm dissapointed with this. I asked for a bang trim (price on board $7) and some layers around my face (only front hair). Sophea used razor to trim my bangs and layer a few strand of my front hair, which take a total of like 5 min, while she talked for like 20min. Her work in this particular case is like I did it myself at home. She charged me $20! I thought it should be like $10-$15 the most for this little work, so I mentioned to her that the price for the whole haircut is $25. She said she did almost half of my hair that's why she charged me ONLY $20. How is that half the work compare to the whole haircut? I find the price is UNFAIR. I've been here a few time because I've seen good reviews and want to support Cambodian hair salon that can expand their service to outside their own community. So I was happy to try this salon that is closer to me compare to my usual go to in Westminster with the same price. The haircut that I got here was not as good as in Westminster, but good enough when I didn't want to drive far. After this experience, I don't think I'll go there again. read more

This review is after my first haircut here. I went here because of a friend's recommendation. The salon I go to usually was closed for a week because of 4th of July. I was in a scramble to find another place that can cut a guys asian hair. My friend recommended some guy, but the guy wasn't there. So I had this lady cut my hair... she did a pretty good job. The haircut actually took time. It wasn't just buzz, buzz, and it's over. I went on a Friday. The place feels homie. The people there are friendly, always talking. I don't remember seeing a TV which drowns out conversation. You definitely need to talk to the person cutting your hair and not to the TV. O___o read more

My family and I have been coming to Sophia ever since I was ten years old. That's 16 years, now that I'm 26! Every single time, without fail, we love the outcome of our visits. I love going to her whenever I want something new and fresh done to my hair. She's done my hair all different colors. Red when I was younger, brown, blonde, she does it all. She's also amazing at cutting hair and I know the other hair stylists at Scissor Hands are just as talented as well. The Scissor Hands salon doesn't disappoint! I always leave the salon feeling more confident than when I stepped in read more

Scissor Hands - Bella did a great job!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

Let me just say, Sophea is the best. I came in for a color for the first time and she made me feel very comfortable. She listen to what I wanted and did it right. Usually I can't stand sitting in a chair for that long but she makes the day go by so fast by communicating with you. The second time I went in was for a haircut, I freakin loved it!!! I am so afraid for anyone to cut my hair due to the fact that they cut off more than what you tell them but she does not. I would definitely recommend this place hands down. read more

Did an amazing job with the cut and worked diligently to get it right. Will definitely be coming back again.

I took my nearly two year old son for a haircut and Sophia was able to do a fantastic job, with no uneven lines showing, even though my son absolutely wasn't having any of it! She was able to give a great cut even with my toddler being freaked out about hair clippers, crying like crazy, and moving around everywhere. I will definitely want to make an appointment for my son's next cut with Sophia to make sure it's the least busy time, since I know he'll want to be crying the whole time lol. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating to my son, even though he transformed into a "challenging customer" once we sat in the barber chair. We were walk-in customers on a Sunday afternoon and it fortunately wasn't too busy, with a reasonably short wait. I've been cutting my own hair and doing a pretty mediocre job since entering that busy dad life but I think I will start regularly coming here so I can have better looking haircuts. She gave very clean fades to the two young men that were before us. read more

brought my lil man here. We were a walk in and the stylist was very accommodating and did a great job on his hair. the price was under $20 for boys hair cut so pretty good and she didn't butcher the back of head like most stylist we've been to. He has a weird cowlick thing that usually gets cut improperly. Great service Ample Parking Family owned Great staff plenty of other services (beauty) Takes Cash ONLY read more

I'm going to (try to) make this review nice and short, like my hair. Scissor Hands is a small barber shop in need of some big changes. To start, it reeks awfully of cigarette. The waiting area was full when my sister and I walked in, only to know we would be next. Apparently everyone on the couches were not customers waiting, just family hanging around. During my appointment with Sophea (sp), she spent most of the time having a conversation with the other stylist whom does color and styling only. They kept mentioning a customer coming within the next hour, the majority of their conversation involved mention of that customer. How about focusing on the customer in your chair presently? My cut was a bit dramatic, I was getting a good 8 inches cut off, at least. She was done in under 15 minutes. I couldn't believe she was done in that amount of time. I felt perhaps it was rushed due to the fact that some highly discussed customer was to be coming in soon. I really wished she had taken her time and given me the minimal amount of attention. I've given 2 stars because it was not the worst experience of my life. The times she did interact with me she wasn't rude, but I expected a bit more out of this experience. Ultimately, I wouldn't recommend this spot to a friend or relative. Perhaps I'd stop by in the future to see if that smell is gone. read more

1st visit, Sofia is great..and once I learned she's a single mom, well I will go back, we must support women owned businesses Five stars for this great place with great prices too. just remember to bring cash. So this is my 1st yelp review..now why is yelp telling me to keep my thumbs rolling, posting now..but how read more

Sophea does a great job at taking her time and giving you one on one attention to make sure you're completely happy with your hair cut. She also gives advice on how to style/what would look good. She does this in a light hearted fun manner. Definitely recommend going to her read more

I'm already a pretty stingy spender, but having gotten recently engaged, my fiance and I are on even more of a budget than usual. At the same time, due to aforementioned future wedding, I'm feeling ultra protective about my hair; while I was desperate for a cut and couldn't wrap my head around paying my old hairdresser's fee, I was also super paranoid about dealing with a bad haircut in wedding pictures, etc. So in a moment of "F it," I made up my mind to take a chance on Scissor Hands. Parked easily in the ample-sized lot and walked right in with no appointment. I was hoping to catch Sophia (as many of the positive Yelp reviews I had read were for her), but Vannie was available and time is money (like I said, stingy), so I plopped down in her chair. (5 stars for convenience and walk-in availability) I'm no fashionista and generally struggle to communicate with stylists what I want (mainly because 95% of the time, I don't really know what I want besides a healthy trim for my bleached, 2C/3A - curly, fine but abundant, and fluffy, mid-length hair). I showed Vannie a few pictures of T-Swift-esque bangs and barely-there layers and off she went. The end of the story is that she did a fantastic job and I couldn't be happier with the result (5 stars for final product). This review is about a month behind so I don't remember exactly how much I paid, but it was definitely less than $40 (and probably closer to $30) including tip. 5 stars for affordability. Finally, Vannie was polite, friendly, and just the right amount of talkative. I feel like I was hardly there for more than 30 minutes, and I never felt like I was being pressured or upsold on anything.. even when she answered my questions about services they offered for weddings, groups, and special events. I even hear they may begin offering sparkly adult beverages soon(: 5 stars for customer service. I'm so happy I took a chance and will absolutely be back to see Vannie the next time I'm ready for a cut, and will consider using some of their other services while wedding planning. Thank you Scissor Hands(: read more

This was the worst experience of my life. I took my daughter into have her hair highlighted and this woman may be good with cutting men's hair but she definitely cannot cut dye and highlight and African American woman's hair. The Damage Done to my daughter's hair is irreversible and will take months to get corrected. She did give me a refund but she didn't even apologize she didn't say I'm sorry the girl that did her hair did not say I'm sorry in fact they both worked on her hair and nobody even spoke to her they just handed her the money and walked away read more

This is my first time coming here since I'm new to the area when I first walked in it felt like home. The owner offers you water when you walk in. There a big screen TV and a lounge to hang out while you wait in need. The price is reasonable and they are very attentive in taking care of their customers. The owner did a very good job in styling my hair that actually was beyond the expectation to my hair type. I am definitely going back and would highly recommend anyone looking for a haircut around the area. read more

Its best to call ahead and make an appointment. They DO take walk ins but you risk being turned away do to yoo many walk ins! These ladies have to be the sweetest and most aware of what the CLIENT wants or trying to achieve!! read more

Love this place! Been coming to Sophia for like 20 years starting at her old place hair secret and love her and her work! :) my whole family comes here now just about! read more

my sister set up the appt for the 4 of us, my two sisters & my auntie. i thought it would take long, because they were going two at a time. Before long, my two sisters were done and it was my turn w/ my auntie's. it was so do quick & efficient for their hair cuts! Sophia cut mine and she's really easy to talk to, i even inquired about hair coloring (which will be my first and I'm contemplating having it done by her, that's the kind of trust built on my first encounter w/ her). she took our photos and i like the energy/vibe the staff gives off. Nice!!! Found a new place to cut my hair! read more

This salon is SO GROSS. Piles of combs and brushes all over the place, scissors were rusty, unswept hair covered the floor. The sterilization jar at the station I sat at was empty and had weird crud floating in it. Plus, the other stylists were sitting around eating and chatting with each other in the midst of all this filth. I didn't realize just HOW DIRTY the salon was until I was in the chair and had scissors at my hair. I got a nice hair cut though and everyone was really nice. If the owners and stylists cleaned it up, it would be really great. read more

Got my hair spiral permed today. It came out beautiful. I have long hair to my waist and thick,so I was worried the curls wouldn't hold. No worries needed, Sophia took care of me. She always does. I've been going to her for over 15 yrs and she is amazing. I just show her a picture of what I want and she does the rest. She has also cut my daughters hair in the past. One has curly long hair and the other straight long hair and they come out looking like models every time. One is 10, the other 12 but they've been going to her since they could sit still in a chair. Highly recommend using Sophia. read more

Came here on a whim bc my usual hair lady was all booked before Thanksgiving. But so glad I did bc I had a great experience! This is a small, low key salon in a strip mall but definitely does the job. Staff wears masks, and capacity is limited to 25%. Five stars for Vannie, who took super great care of me from start to finish. She's so sweet, down to earth, and worked her magic on my hair. As someone who never knows how to explain exactly what I want done, she went above and beyond to make sure she understood exactly what I wanted before she started. Never ever felt judged or rushed. She was meticulous(!) with adding lowlights to my pink quarantine hair. I literally felt her going line by line in each section, weaving the baby lights, foiling, etc. Clean work. Added toner to cancel out the pink. I dozed off several times. She really worked her magic and it came out to this pretty multidimensional ashy bronde color that I love. She styled it and got me ready for date night. My fiancé is a fan too! Thank you Vannie! read more

It's just ok Pros and Cons Pro - its cheap $15 Pro - no appointment necessary .. the girl is always available Con - fast!! no wash, no style I was cut and Out the door in 15 mins Con - not a great cut. It wasn't horrible but the layers seemed off. I wasn't sure read more

Friendly family business. Good price. I wouldn't pay more. My cut was super fast, I kind of wish she had spent more time on it, and you could kind of tell. She did adjust it to what I wanted although I couldn't describe it at first, but I didn't feel like I could keep asking since she seemed to want to get me in and out. I was done before my husband, even though we started at around the same time. It was an okay cut, but I didn't love it. Bella did a great job on my husband's hair, was careful, and did detailed work. He clearly knew what he was doing. I don't know if I would come back for my hair but I think my hubby was happy about his. 3.5 stars.. they were friendly. I might give them another try, I don't know. read more

Is this place fancy? No. Was this place cheaper? Yes so take it all with a grain of salt. I don't mind not fancy. My regular place cost $25 for a wash and cut, but they were closed so I came here. I walked in and was seated immediately. Sweet! I will say it was the quickest cut I have ever had. 10 mins tops. My eyebrow waxing took longer than my hair. Trim the bangs, layers- cool. My hair was curled and expected her to wash it, but no frills here. The gal proceeded to straighten it and then cut it all with a sharp razor. She might have whipped out the scissors for a minute. I think that was the most nerve racking part. If you've never had your long hair cut by razors- it's the weirdest, scariest feeling. It just sounds like paper ripping in your ear. Anyways my bangs ended up a lot shorter than what I wanted but the cut wasn't that bad. It just wasn't amazing. My eyebrows were what I was most bothered about. She waxed them so thin! So I looked like a gangster for the day- thank got for sephora and brow cream. All and all it was okay. Would I go back? Probably not, but this place would be good for some people. read more

I like this place. Going to go back for sure. It's very no frills but they are inventive and fun. Came in recently and was seen right away. Great cut from the brother. Totally on point. read more

My 2 year old son was beginning to look like Chewbacca, and my husband was loving it. But mother knows best and the two month battle over letting it grow finally ended when Mama Bear walked Baby bear into Scissor Hands this afternoon for his long over due hair cut. Now we have taken him to about two different places and Papa Bear gave him a few hair cuts himself, that might explain why my son hates clippers. From these past experiences, including Dad's attempts, I think I will rate this new one the best. The young man that cut my little Chewba...I mean son's hair was very patient and understanding of all the squirming a two year old tends to do when asked to sit still because something sharp is at your head. He was very fast and yet took his time to make sure he did a great job. As for the clippers, they made a small appearance at the nape of the neck and side burns but he again was fast as well as gentle. He trimmed my son's hair by SCISSOR HANDS around the ears and when he was all done, lightly puttied his hair and I had a little boy once again. He looks so freaking cute! I can't stop smiling at him. I will definitely travel back to 7th street's Scissor Hands for my son's next hair cut when he begins to resemble any kind of furry creatures, Chewbaccas and Ewoks included. Price's are competitive, about the same a Supercuts for my little guy. Environment was very Home like comfortable. Service was great. read more

I'm always apprehensive about haircuts because 1.) I've yet to meet someone to tackle my thick, curly hair properly. 2.) I'm constantly wanting to grow my hair out so when I request that only my split ends be trimmed, don't butcher what I'm working with... I don't blow dry or straighten my hair, honey I know two inches does Not need to be cut off 3.) the stylist won't fully listen to what it is I'm requesting [ref. bullet 2] 4.) I don't want to pay an outrageous price on a haircut. So with those items in mind, I went ahead and picked a place. I haven't had a haircut in a couple years and I just got back from a month of backpacking in Asia so this sister was in need! On top of tired out tresses that needed a shape up, I've been bouncing the idea of bangs around in my mind for quite some time. We all know how tragic this could have played out. Thank goodness for Reaksa. Let's talk about her going all veni vidi vici and producing a haircut that exactly met my needs in Maybe twenty minutes. I could have looked like such an epic mess. She hooked me up with bangs and layers just as I had envisioned in my mind and my length was still intact. Also a lovely addition that she's so kind and you're immediately addressed once you walk in the door. The price and professionalism were excellent. Will be back when the hair calls for it! read more

Sophia is amazing and works pure magic on hair! I literally came in the shop with a rat's nest! I had so much split-ends, brier-like, dead and "blah" hair. Being a mommy (and now also expecting) my general maintenance has gone down the drain. I came in on my lunch break. Sophia not only respected my time but made me few like a million bucks! She is not only a hair guru but very funny and personable! The shop is pretty clean. However their in the process of what looks like a sweet renovation. & their prices are extremely fair, especially for the quality of work! & they do accept cards! I definitely will be coming back! read more

I've been a returning customer since 2012, so I feel like I need to update my review for this place. It's so rare to find a place and establish a strong relationship with the employees and I've definitely gotten more than expected visiting this place besides a great haircut! I'm a very picky customer when it comes to my hair, I cut it every 2 weeks or so, but I always have 100% confidence in Sophea when she cuts my hair and it's been consistent all these years. So yes, I highly recommend any CSULB students around the area or if you live around the area to visit this place for a great cut. They run by appointment, so definitely call in a day or so in advance and get that nice cut! read more

I was really looking forwards to this appointment . I've been wanting to dye my hair a midnight blue with a baleyage. Instead of blue, My hair came out looking more like a green with some sort of teal. Also you are able to see some bleached pieces between colors. I don't see ANY Blue at all. All of my ends are different color green. Not very happy with this out come. I had to get this color off. Not cool... read more
