I bumped into this place by luck. It was my first time getting a haircut in this city. Before being here I used to go for a little upscale boutique stylist that offered wine or water when you walk in. Thinking that I would get a high quality cut. Rather I would always walk out unsatisfied due to uneven fades or the stylist not listening to what I wanted. This is definitely not that kind of place, but it's the best haircut I've received in a long time. It wasn't at all busy. A gentleman took me right away and started asking questions and examining my hair, never had I had someone go through my hair like he did to understand my previous cuts. He took his time, wasn't very chatty, but I'm VERY satisfied with my haircut. My fade was straight and the length was exactly what I asked for. Best of all, the price was 1/3 of what I usually pay! This is definitely the place to go for a great, low cost haircut without any fluff. Will definitely be coming back! read more

So it dawned on me that I wanted to go grey! Or at least my lower tips, and well I really didn't have clue where to go. Naturally I asked my mom and insisted if I was going to be "drastic" I must go with her stylist Paula. At a glance the shop look like a hole in the wall nothing special. Their true gems are the stylist! They genuinely will care for your hair. Paula was worried because of my dark hair the color I wanted wasn't going to show and didn't want the bleach to ruin my hair. Welp she told me straight forward I would have to be patient but that she would get my desires color without ruining it, and that she did! read more

See all

Okay, I knew the day would come when my cover would be blown so here it is. Now I'm coming clean so don't say that I was misleading you at the Yelper Parties (In case I ever go to one!) I DON'T LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO ANYMORE! Yes world, I'm not hip, cool or a rebel. Nope, I've resorted to the safety and somewhat ho hum, existence of the Peninsula! I only work in San Francisco and hang out there but the rest of the time I have to function and do my errands and stuff in San Carlos. Don't get me wrong all of you San Carlans, it's a pretty town but it's not my first choice (I moved there to help care for my father.) But guess what? It's not bad. I'm sort of adapting and finding my spots. I've found a good local music shop where I can get my guitar strings, a good burrito place, and lots of small shops within walking distance of my place. Styling Cuts in Redwood city is one of them. Okay so this one is a good 15 minute walk but I've actually done it once! I've been going to get my haircut here for about two years. I started going as a cost cutting measure. I liked the staff here, they are very friendly and do a nice job of giving me the cut I ask for. Magaly is my regular stylist but have also had my hair cut by Marianna. The price is fair $15 for men (cut, shampoo & style). I don't know if I'm cheap but I usually tip about $5. It's not the trendiest place but it's clean and well maintained. When my budget is a little higher and I'm looking to try something new, I go to my old stylist and pay about double the price. Once I'm comfortable with that style, I go back to Styling Cuts and show them what I want.. It's right across the street (busy El Camino Real) from Sequoia Station (Safeway, Fresh Choice, Old Navy, Barnes & Noble) and just 1 block from Whole Paycheck, oops Whole Foods. So you can run some errands if you have to wait for your turn. Hey, after going here I have an extra $10-15 to spend. PBR anyone? read more

Alright, so I am guilty of having my hair cut maybe once a year ? I don't know how often your suppose to have it trimmed but I've heard the standard is 6 months & well I was well over due having moved to RWC from San Francisco I have been so hesitant to try ANY beauty services out here so when I friend recommended this place and by recommend I mean had to push me through the door LOL with my wedding date approaching quickly I was even more skeptical about having a total stranger touch my hair! We went in there was only one lady there, an older women, Margarita, my friend went first to ease me into my experience the lady was so nice making conversation and I felt a little more relaxed so eventually she finished & she had an apt so she had to take the apt before she would get to me she apologized but little did she know I didn't mind at all since I get to check out her work with 2 people before she would touch my hair LOL so finally my turn came and I told her to cut about 3 inches off and layer it fix my bangs and use the thinning scissors to thin my very thick hair & she did just that OMG this lady has magic hands ! she takes her time and does an amazing job for $20 =0 I know so inexpensive so I inquired about other services Keratin treatment $35, styling for my wedding day $55 I will definitely go back before my wedding to get the keratin treatment and will update my review ! read more

Had quite a traumatic experience at this place. Would give -10 if I could. My hair was being cut by an old gentleman. Firstly, he was very rough with the comb on my scalp, I could feel the comb scratching hard on my skin. He kept combing with that comb and it felt awful. He then ran the clipper on my hair, and was again extremely harsh with it. He did not care about my ears or my head and forced the clipper onto my head like I was a piece of wood. At this point, I was really really scared. Next, he pulled out the scissors and I was literally praying for my life. His hand is very unstable and he made a real mess of my hair, which ended up being totally uneven. He could not use the scissors stably and the scissors were making a huge mess. He showed me in a mirror and I told that that it was uneven. He got slightly angry and started to cut more hair, and showed me again. It was still uneven, and I told him that I was unhappy with it. He offers to cut more, and at this point, I am really really scared and I asked him to stop and left the place. I was totally cursing my decision to come there because of these other yelp reviews. Went to a nearby Great Clips, who told me how uneven everything was and fixed it. There are 2 more hair stylists there, who might be good, but this guy is terrible at cutting hair and any random guy on the street can cut hair better than him. Please DO NOT get your hair cut from him. Just ask any friend to do it and I promise you that it will turn out better. I don't want to say anything bad about the other stylists. I am pretty sure that all the other yelp reviews are from his friends or from people who got their hair cut by the other stylists. read more

I'm pretty sure I've gotten the best haircut I've had in years here. Maria did an amazing job shaping my hair just the way I wanted it and it's the perfect length. I'll definitely be coming back here, even if Redwood City is a little off the beaten path for me. read more

I was coming home from work on a monday and I was looking for an inexpensive salon to get a trim. I found this place right on my way home. First of all they are open till 8pm which is great because i do not want to take time out of my day for a haircut. They took me right away. The man who trimmed my hair was very nice and asked lots of questions to make sure that he knew what I wanted and he did exactly what I asked. The place is not trendy, its a small inexpensive salon and it looks that way, and he trimmed my hair really fast, but did exactly what I wanted for 20$, it was great! I actually prefer not getting my hair washed at the hair salon! read more

I've gone to this salon about 6 or 7 times in less than a year. They did some blue highlights for me at first, then they dyed all of my hair blue. Later I came back for a cut. I think all of these times it was with Magaly. That cut looked great, but after I went home, washed and styled it, I noticed it was a little crooked so I went back and she cut way too much off trying to fix it. I think she wasn't paying attention, a bit of a chatter she is. When I returned because it was still crooked, Fernando tried to fix it. He should stick to cutting men's hair though, he does a good job, but the layers just didn't blend in very nicely. I got frustrated and didn't go back for a few months and when I did it was to dye my hair back to black. Then I went back to get my hair styled for a holiday party at work. You must be wondering why I keep going back to this place. Maybe it's the colors, or the happy vibe, or maybe I keep hoping to one day find a magical stylist with magical hands.... Lo and behold, I did! And her name is Patty. She did an incredible job on such short notice. Everyone who saw me didn't recognize me and complimented me heavily on my look. I returned a few weeks later to get bangs and requested Patty because she did such a great job styling my hair. She also noticed how messed up my layers were and asked if I wanted her to fix them. I told her my hair is naturally curly and I straighten it with a flat iron, so she fixed my layers with my hair DRY and STRAIGHT and you know what, my layers and my bangs turned out amazing!!! Patty is my new favorite stylist. I've gotten so many compliments on my new hairstyle. Wherever Patty goes, I'll be going with her. read more

Got me right in with a smile. Fernando provides great service and is a wealth of knowledge on our community. I'm a pretty standard guys cut, but he faded it better than ever. He's not fast, but you'll be happy with the results. read more

Margarita is amazing! I have thick curly hair that a lot of people don't know how to deal with, but Margarita always does an amazing job for only $20! I've been coming to her for about 3 years now. I usually call her the morning I want to come in and make an appointment for the same day, but I have also walked in, without making an appointment, and she has been able to take me within 15 minutes. read more

Paula cut my hair and it looks amazing! This place need more reviews because the people here are very kind (been to too many places where it feels like the staff is doing you a favor). Will definitly repeat I'm in the area. read more
