I came in asking for a trim to cut off all my split ends. Only about 5-10min was spent cutting my hair. I ended up with uneven layers and it was cut shorter than I asked. I was verbally offered a $10 discount but was then charged the full price. Overall a negative experience and ended up with a bad haircut. read more

Star Image Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

This review is for Manisha. She seems to forget the appointment timing which causes last minute confusion. This has happened to me twice where she confirms the appointment time and when I reach, they say the appoint time is different. Also, she is rude and nagging. I would avoid any appointments with her. read more

i have been coming here for the past 4 years, and sharmila has always been quick and efficient whenever i come in to get my brows cleaned up. not only is she kind and patient, but you can tell that regardless of rude customers, she's willing to work with u and accommodate. people need to learn to be patient and give grace to customer service workers as well as understand that not *everything* is personal; sharmila and the rest of her team are welcoming, nice, and i'll always keep coming back. read more

This place is extremely unprofessional. I had clearly requested for Manisha's time for my haircut but at the last minute Sharmila ended up taking my appointment. On top of this, Sharmila did a terrible job at cutting my hair. Total waste of money. The hair was cut unevenly. When I asked her to give me a refund she said no upfront. She didn't even blow dry and set my hair correctly after the haircut. Overall the haircut was very poorly done. It appears as if both the ladies cannot understand English and it's very hard to communicate with them. I am extremely disappointed with the time and money I spent at this place. Do not recommend this business at all. read more

I've been getting my eyebrows & upper lip threaded from Sharmila for years. She is literally the only person I trust to do them correctly. When I heard she opened up her own studio, I had to check it out. As usual, she did a great job threading my eyebrows & upper lip. They take credit card & charged me $11! Super cheap! read more

I've been getting my waxing and threading here for a while...very professional and polite girls.

The management and all staff have changed while keeping the same name/decor/reviews! Felt the need to update my 5 star review - Sharmila may be good for eyebrows, but she did an awful job cutting my hair. She rushed through it and gave me two chunky, disconnected layers. It's taken a year to fix this and other stylists have also commented on how awful that haircut was. read more

I've been coming to Sharmila for my eyebrows for a while now and she never disappoints! She always does my eyebrows quickly, painlessly, and well. I highly recommend coming here for your eyebrow threading needs! It's also so affordable, I get my eyebrows threaded and upper lip waxed for under $15! I'm usually in and out of this salon within 10-15 minutes. They also follow covid protocols well and coming here feels safe. read more

Giving a low review as I realize how much Sharmila took off my brows. I asked her to just do a clean up and she decides to take off so much of my brows that you can clearly see the light area of my face is where a lot of brow hair used to be. I think many threading people want a perfect line and shape when threading instead of simply doing what the customer requests and this is not good customer service. Prices were great so I tipped $14 but won't be going back. read more

Star Image Studio - Thin brows. Thick strip taken off brows. - Hair Salons Near Me - San Jose, California

The two girls here have zero courtesy, zero organization and are random in their schedules. They talk in different language infront of customers and think we dont understand that they are talking about us. Rude, unprofessional and do not like to be questioned even when they did bad job in hair cut. read more

The person managing this studio doesnt know how to manage appointments. Rushed through my daughter's haircut. Was really not happy. She was cramming in more clients at the same time and not professional at all. Not going to go back again read more

Excellent waxing and threading services. Sharmila is awesome ! Best part is speed and efficiency. I am usually in and out in 45 mins (full waxing, eyebrows, upper lips). read more

Very good service and customer friendly. Sharmila and Manisha do know what they are doing and are very professional. I would definitely recommend going to this salon. Service I took : eyebrows, upper lips, waxing, henna Stains on hair. read more

My first time here. Went for a haircut. Very quick, no non sense place. Price is also very reasonable. I was done with haircut, blow dry, and this review all in 30 minutes:) read more

I moved to the neighborhood recently and I was looking for a good eye brow threading service. I'm so happy that I found this place. Not only they have an amazing service but also super quick. It took less than 8mins for her to finish my both eyebrows including cleaning, shaping and trimming! Truly amazed! Highly recommend the Star Image Studio. read more

Excellent service, great staff and nice big parlor. I went for just the threading but got so many more things done. Henna for hair came out very well. Facial and back facial were divinely relaxing. Sharmilla does the best eye brows and haircut. Manisha's facial and back facial made me spotless. Highly recommend this place run by two hardworking enterprising girls. Please do visit and try it out yourself! read more

I just got out of here after getting a threading and I'm devastated... all I wanted was even eyebrows with less pointy peaks. I got two thin lines that aren't even! I told her they weren't even so she thinned one side out even more. I was afraid to tell her anything else as I wouldn't have anything left. I don't know who has been going here for years, but I definitely will not be back and would NOT recommend :( read more

Got my threading done from Sharmila. She's pretty good and does it nicely. No pain and properly done. Do get it done from her.

Kathy has been an amazing hairdresser for basically all of my life and I always call in to make an appointment with her. When she's not busy she will gladly help you out instantly. She will always ask you how you want your haircut before cutting and she is very professional. read more

Did a great job with eyebrow threading. Very quick and relatively painless. Great experience and I look forward to returning.

This salon gave both my girls great haircuts. I have 8yr and 9yr old girls. One with long hair and one with medium. We booked an appt with Le Hong and she was great. She is shy and don't chit-chat a lot, but she gave the girls a great cut. She is, however, a little slow at her work, since she is so precise. The shop has little DVD players in front of the kids and they can pick a movie from the shelf and are entertained while getting their haircut. It was $18 each for the girls. Great price, great cut. read more

Very clean during covid and they follow all protocol necessary to ensure public safety. I love getting my eyebrows done here. Sharmila takes her time and is extremely precise with my shape! I highly recommend going here if you're looking for a place to get your brows right! read more

A kind of beautification provided by Sharmila and Manisha ensures customers guaranteed that you will make them as your regular salon specialist... two thumbs up to this lady's for they know how to give "Excellent service." read more

Sharmila is a very efficient, hygienic, and nice beautician. I got waxing and eyebrow threading and appreciated the quality and price of the service. I recommend this service! read more

Very friendly staff . Easy to work with. Did amazing job with henna application on hair and wash and cut after. Definitely going back

This place is AMAZING! I've been living around the corner for 5 years and only discovered them a month ago! But i'm SO happy I did. Manisha and Sharmila are fabulous. They are very communicative with customers especially during this crazy time we're in. They not only have excellent customer service but they do quality work. I have been going to plenty of places to get my brows done and spending way too much for OK service, but these ladies have it down and they're so friendly. My new favorite place for all my beauty needs! read more

Cathy does a great job cutting and coloring my hair. Very friendly service! Skilled hair dresser!

I just got a haircut from Sharmila last Saturday. She gave me a good haircut. Her price is reasonable. She listened to my request and carefully and patiently cut my hair. I will be returning to get haircuts. Keep up the good work Sharmila. read more

I have been going to this salon for about 5 years. I also get my hair cut about 3 times a year. Yeah the outside doesn't look like anything special, but once you walk in it's very cute! It's themed & there is a huge movie screen for the kiddies. It's definitely not a place where they pamper you. But they def get the job done. I ALWAYS make a appt. with Le. She is my absolute favorite. She's really quiet & kind (if you like those really talkative hair dressers, she...is the opposite.) She speaks chinese, english, & vietnamese I believe. She excels in asian hair & really listens to what you want. I usually take a picture in & she can imitate it extremely well. But now a days, I walk in, tell her to do whatever she wants to do with my hair & I always walk out happy. I have weird trust issues with my hair, but when she's the one cutting it, I have no problem with leaving it all up to her. (: Note: She specializes in the asian style of layering, so if you don't want that make sure you specify that she doesn't thin out your hair too much! (: A typical cut includes a head wash & she prices on length. When i went to her, I had short hair, but she helped me transition into growing it out nice & long. (: Short/med hair - $30-35 Long hair - $40-45 I'm at the length where I pay $45 & it's worth every penny. I've paid up to $60 bucks for a haircut & I ALWAYS go back to Le. read more

Nice haircut as I have really long hair and hadn't cut my hair since October 2019... felt lighter. She also colored my hair and was pretty quick and communicated what she was doing. The price was really affordable and she encouraged to come back to try more colors even sharing what colors she would like to see me try. That was very cool of her and she really enjoys a good conversation. I think she likes to make women feel like a princess if she can and she will cut men's hair too if she is given a reference photo. She inquired about where I had got my hair cut and colored before and definitely showed interest to not lose me to other salons. I wish her luck in finding more hair stylists and artists in the South Bay who will help her business grow. I was a little bit confused as to the hours but I think if you ask nicely, she will come to the salon any time between 8:30am and 8:30pm. I went in on a weekday (drop in) to inquire and then came a few hours later for my color and cut when my schedule was free. Thanks for taking care of my hair and I hope she gets other clients who will push her hair coloring and color theory knowledge... I was also really pleased that I could show her all the different hair styles I like to wear and even mentioned to her about how I wanted to host a fashion show in the South Bay! Looking forward to the next visit... read more

Three stars for being fairly kid friendly. They had DVD players, and gave my kids great cuts. Just three stars as the stylists were not particularly warm and fuzzy, nor patient with my figitey four year old. We will be back though - bottom line, it's about the haircut. They did a nice clean bob on my four year old and long layers on my six year old. Overall, good service and good price. read more

Love this place. Have been here thrice already. Very friendly people who listened to my needs and did exactly what I wanted. Highly recommended. read more

I take my 2-year-old to this place and they are pretty good with kids...they show a video and they are nice to kids ... $18 for kids hair cut (as info). thanks. read more

Best saloon ! Love it, best price and excellent work. Highly recommended! Sharmila and manisha are very professional.

Excellent service. Sharmila and Manisha have moved from Viji to this place. Amazing , quick and great quality service. This is my go to place for waxing, threading, hair color and cuts. Very cheap and reasonable. I am so glad I found them. read more

I have been getting my eyebrows down from Manisha and Sharmila for two years now and am so so grateful they got their own place at Star Image Studio. If I'm about to travel, I need to visit them before leaving because I cannot get my brows done from anywhere else and can't do them myself nearly as well as they can. Their salon is so clean and both of them are so so friendly and kind. They also do my brows perfectly to fit my face and if I would like to make any adjustments all I need to do is ask and they'll do it. Love them both and highly recommend visiting them :) read more

I went to Star Image Studio for the first time last month. I was very impressed with the quality of the salon and the haircut! Sharmila did an excellent job communicating with me first about what I was looking for and then she did an amazing job making it happen! read more

The first time I came to Stars Image, and it was a nice experience. Sharmila is so friendly, and I had a nice conversation with her. She did a great job cutting my hair and also shaping my eyebrows. I would recommend her. Thank you again Sharmila! read more

I have got my eyebrows done by Sharmila for a few years now. She is absolutely the best that I have been too. I am so glad she has opened her own studio. Her prices are very reasonable as well. read more

My boy has just got a hair cut with lines on the side. Usually it is ok, but this time they shaved a huge rectangle shape on the side. It was shocking to see it. It is obviously a big mistake, but no efforts to fix it. They charged us $23 for this. We will take our business elsewhere. read more
