Tina's Hair Design is a great spot for haircuts! Friendly, professional, and reliable. It's always nice to support a quality local business--highly recommend! read more

Hair stylist did not cut my hair the way I instructed her to do so. She made my head look like a mushroom and I had to tell her to mend that issue because I wasn't trying to lose my friends from looking like a fungi, even though I am a fun guy. I didn't want vegans looking at me as a snack either. The cherry on top was a surprise slice to the back of my neck about an inch long which I don't remember asking for and doesn't look stylish. Also it's cash only. read more

I don't usually get haircuts, and when I do, I just ask for a 2-3 inch trim knowing that I'll usually end up with 4-5 inch off my hair. Because of that, I get haircuts for maybe max of twice a year. Review: This is probably my third visit from this hair salon, and I am very happy with my hair. It's my fault for not asking her name, but the lady who trimmed my hair today was very nice and respectful of my wishes. She kept me in the loop whenever she has to trim my hair a little more than I asked, and she gave me an explanation of why she had to. I was very thankful because she really made sure that I was leaving very happy with my look. She reached for the mirror a few times just to see if I have more to ask from her. I really loved that she did that! I'll come by just to ask for her name next time! I highly recommend this place for those who are tired of getting their hair over done! read more

Been going here for the last year to get my hair trimmed and high fade. My coworkers really like the fade I get from this place. They raised their prices from $8 to $13, even with the price raise, I'm still satisfied with coming here just to get a fade. Recommend this place for anyone looking to get a sick fade. read more

I've been going there for years and I couldn't be any happier with my haircut, every time. Helen or Heidi are the best.

Helen at Tina haircut is a super great! Our family, my husband and I and the kids all use her service, her skill is outstanding! If you show her a picture or describe what you desire, she always can figure out what can fit you best, and the result can't disappoint you! This is not a very sophisticated salon place but if you expect a good price while a decent hair cut, We will highly recommend this place! read more

My mom got hurt here getting a haircut and she was told she wasnt the 1st person to get hurt when she tripped getting off the hairdresser chair she got a huge lump on her head and she coudnt work for a few days this place needs to gets sued and shut down read more

I've been going here for years and this is a true hidden gem filled with talent in Milpitas. My favorite hair dresser is Hue. She's been cutting my hair forever and she keeps a very good conversation while cutting. She consistently keeps you in the loop of what's happening with your hair - ensuring you the exact cut you want! I love her for her skill and personality. She's the reason I come back and will continue to come back! :) ~ $17 for my haircut read more

Very consistent job here straightforward haircut never had any issues and have been coming here for years. Not sure why but I've seen people not give these ladies any tip when they work very hard but I guess everyone is different but I always tip because I know they rely on it for income :-) read more

There was this short hair lady that cut my hair. Stay away from her!!! My hair was long. I asked her to cut it short pass my shoulder. She recommended not to layer. So I said "ok, mb thin it a little since I have a lot of hair." She just cut it straight across and nothing else. After 10 mins, she showed me the mirror to check the back. I was in shock. Was I supposed to see how straight it was? Common lady!!! Not even straight. There's no texture, nothing. Even the end just looked thick. I could just have asked my daughter to cut it straight across at home to save me time and $27. Where did you learn how to cut hair or was you just being lazy that day? Unbelievable. I walked out there as fast as I could. read more

Pretty bad for me. Did some weird cut style for me. The job of a hair designer is to understand how the exitsing style and simply implement that if nothing mentioned explicitly. That wasnt the case with me. read more

I've been going here since I was a young girl. The hairdressers here have their own technique, but if you want someone who's patient and precise, go to Helen only!! She has given me amazing layers and removes all my split-ends. Sometimes she suggests that I cut a little more than I want because she really knows how to keep hair healthy! She also gives men haircuts and their hair looks really fresh after a cut. I love Helen!! She only charges me $17. I asked the other ladies for the same haircut and it was $22 -_- I'm sticking with Helen! read more

Tina's Hair Design I - V-Cut long layers by Helen :) - Hair Salons Near Me - Milpitas, California

9 times out of 10 I usually walk out of a hair salon unsatisfied and asking myself how I can reattach my chopped-off hair with super glue. In my head I'm cursing myself for not having run out of the place earlier and having to hand over money for this fobcut. But alas, I have finally found a place knows how to cut Asian hair without making me look like the poster child for Pocky (not that I dislike Pocky, but that style of haircuts just ain't for me). So in this little Vietnamese hair salon, cute little stylist, Tracy, tries to attend to her customers in broken English, but still as courteously as possible! I am a little afraid as she works to create the layered effect. My hair is flat, slightly wavy, and looks like I just slept on it. However, two minutes into the cut and I feel like I'm in heaven. Now I don't even care if she messes up on my cut, because I'm getting a free head massage as she snips away the ends of my locks. But within about 7 minutes, my relaxation session is over and the layering is done. After some straightening and styling, my hair looks, surprisingly, revitalized, and le master de snippers has once again, created another masterpiece! She asks for $15 and I hand her the money. But I don't want to leave my seat just yet... I just want to bask in the massage feeling for a little bit longer! Reality has finally sunk in, and I reluctantly leave the place. But at least this time, I leave with some dignity. I was satisfied. I finally found a place that understood hair for a decent price. Now this place has become my official salon, and I, their devoted customer. read more

I was hesitant in looking for a new hair salon. My old salon is located in downtown San Jose, with $4 a gallon it is a little far. I was nervous waiting, I had a few others recommend to be cut by Helen. My cut isn't complicated, 1 on top, zero on the sides w/high fade and a line. But people fail. After I waited for 20min I finally had a chance to sit with Helen. I told her 1 on top, high fade and zero on the side. She finished in less than 10min, cleaned up my side burns and edges and before I get a chance to ask for a line, she did it! Great cut, very pleased! I will be back! read more

Don't you just hate it when you tell your hairstylist to cut a certain length and they cut off DOUBLE (or even triple) of what you initially wanted?! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED HERE! My cousin wanted to go here when I went a few stores down to Haircuts for my monthly haircut. I guess it was because of the decor? (Haircuts is more of a barber shop then a salon environment) In the end, it was her fault for being shallow because I ended up loving my haircut and she ended up hating hers. She complained so much she begged me to write a review for her. So here goes.. Her hair stylist was named Helen. Helen vaguely asked her what she wanted her hair to look like. My sister told her she just wanted a trim but wanted her bangs shortened so it didn't look dull with her one length hair. Helen just nodded her head. She soon began to cut. My sister's hair ended up shoulder length when it was to her elbows. Did Helen fall asleep!?!? Not only that but her bangs were also so nasty and choppy. It honestly looked like our baby cousin cut her hair with kitchen scissors. My sister said Helen probably got lost while chitchatting with her fellow coworker the whole time. We are not the type of people to start drama so we just left. I hope she learned her lesson. Never again. read more

This place is pretty decent. If you go here I recommend Christine. She cuts pretty good hair. She takes her time with her customers until they are satisfied and she is very friendly. She did my hair once and it turned out very pretty. Im waiting for my hair to grow longer so I can layer my hair again with her! If you go, ask for Christine. read more

Would give zero star if I could. WORST place to get anything done. I explained over and over again that I want my dark brown hair to be light brown. And even show her pictures, pick a hair sample they have there too! She just shake her head as hard as she could. It's a simple thing. I never been to a "salon" this stupid and rude. Every Time I try to explain she just interrupt me and shake her head and said "no no no no". Wtf? If you can't freakin' dye hair, don't even dare to open a salon or put hair color mark on your front door! I don't think these Asian speak english at all. At least they could be nicer or just a little smile. Morons. No wonder it's always so slack over there. read more

This salon cuts my hair the way I ask them to. "Enough said" As a result I end up giving HIEDY 100% tip. My hair is not easy to cut, and it's so hard to find someone who can. Zero to fade (LOW FADE) sometimes I think other barbers out there don't understand what LOW means. It's so upsetting at times. Now that I have found HEIDY I don't have to worry anymore whether she's going to a great job or not. The result will always be the same. Thanks HEIDY MERY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! read more

I came here about a month ago with my mom. She wanted a cut and color, so I thought I'd try them. Over the last five years I've been trying to find a salon that can cut my hair in layers the way I want it. A few years ago, I went to Maggie Max to get my hair cut and one of the stylists there (not Maggie) cut my hair in these amazing layers that everyone at work was giving me compliments. I went back to Maggie's a couple times to find this lady, but it looked like she no longer worked there, so every since then I've been trying to find someone that could get my hair just the way I wanted it! I've gone to Friends Salon in San Jose a few times, Regis Salon at Valley Fair Mall, but was never satisfied. At Tina's, Helen cut my hair. I didn't bring any pictures, so I just told her that I wanted layers, but I want it all over. She first ironed my hair, then started cutting away. It looked great when she was done. I could see all the different lengths of layers. She only charged me $18! I was very surprised, dang, such a good price! I'm not sure why the previous reviewers for this salon put four $$$$. Now, I wanted to wait until the next day after I wash and air dry my hair to see if the layers naturally fell the way I wanted it to. BAM, it did! Thank goodness, I think I found my new go to hair salon! I hope Helen can keep up the good work because I'll be coming here again. Thanks! read more

If they understand what you want, they will get the job done. Don't expect new styles. Place is more likely family run business. $10.

My regular haircut place. $8 for haircut $2 shampoo $2-3 tip... best haircut/shampoo i can get for $15. I always go w/ Helen. She's good.

Went here for haircut coz mom and sis goes here. I was hesitant and scared they might not get what I want for my hair like the other places I go to. Surprisingly, I showed Jenny what I wanted and told her slight changes I needed done, and she got it! I must admit I underestimated this place, and her but she proved me wrong. Jenny did wonderful work on my hair just as I wanted that other high end salons failed to do. And is inexpensive too, which is another thing I now love about this place! So if you haven't found your "go to" place for a haircut, give this one a try like I did! read more

Been going here for over ten years. The ladies speak broken english but are friendly and do their best to give good haircuts. I keep coming back. That says a lot read more

Zero stars if I could. Called and made an appointment for cut and color. Went over and they had no idea what I was talking about even though I had confirmed 5 minutes prior to my arrival. Showed them what I wanted and they said they couldn't do it (a very basic highlight job) because their product sucks. Really??? Wow. Weak!!! I don't recommend that place at all. read more

Jenny can do very modern cuts for asian, or anything. I tried so many places but could not get a cut I like that would work in my job and my style. You can pay $40 for the same cut in a trendy saloon but why?? You can bring a picture and she will discuss with you, or you can let them design. Last time I showed them a pic from the internet, and they just knew it. At the end it looks exactly like the pic. Just amazing for $8. You can's ask for more. Now remember, we are all asians and english may not be our strong suit, so communication is key. But trust me these people know what they are doing, they are pros. read more

I won't come back here. I asked for a haircut that is long at the front and short layered at the back. The lady said she can do it. Well, SURPRISE! she cut my hair at the front hella short as well. Some parts are longer than the other side. She ruined my hair to be exact and she knows she did cuz she can't even smile after she gave me a haircut!!!! Never ever again. Now I need to deal with my short uneven hair for long ass time until it grows back again! read more

I've almost given up on hair salon. No one seem to be able to cut my hair properly like my mom. Until today. I only realized it was a good cut when I got home. I called back and asked for the name of the person who cut my hair. The person on the phone gave me the name Heidi, but how would they know that from my voice on the phone? There was two ladies working there that day. I will come back next time and ask for Heidi... I hope it's the right person. read more

Heidi did a great job in my hair cut. After the hair cut, she uses a hair curler to create voluminous waves in my hair. Overall it is a great experience. read more

This place only knows how to cut the average guy's hair, which is flat and short. Unfortunately, my hair is poofy and wavy. As such, cutting it really short and high doesn't look very good on me. Even though I explain this to them, they still do it. As a result, I end up looking really weird and even they notice it. So if your hair is flat and has no style, this place is acceptable. But I need a more skilled hair stylist. My search continues!!! read more

Wonderful service! My family has been having Tina cut our hair since as long as I can remember! This means she's good with customers if all ages. She has great costumer service and listens to exactly what I want. I always go to Tina when I'm in Irvine because I know I can trust her with my hair! read more

Jenny knows how to work the hair, for mens, she does not just do a cookie cutter style, she can pretty much design anything to fit you. Very hard to find in the bay area at this price. read more

The lady in training can not know when to stop shaving my hair.She is stupid. Don't go there, it is a waste of money!

I love coming here to get my nails done. The shop is clean and orderly. The massage chairs for the pedicures are comfy! Friendly, professional services. read more

The hair cutter - Christine (Huong) who used to work here until recently is currently working at Hair Cuts, which is at the same shoping complex. The address is: 83 South Park Victoria, Milpitas. Christine (Huong) works at this address (just next to 7Eleven) read more

If I could give them no stars, I would. Brought my brother here along with a picture of the hair cut he wanted. But I specifically told her, do not cut his tail, go all the way down like a Mohawk. Repeated myself about 3 times, DO NOT CUT THE TAIL. Her first buzz, RIGHT AT THE TAIL. his tail he wanted to grow out, gone. So I told the girl, you weren't supposed to cut the tail. & her reply? I was going to leave the tail here, (points to the back of his head, in the middle). WHO LEAVES A TAIL THERE?! Don't come here. She couldn't even follow a simple request. Find a better place guys. read more

this place is affordable, fast, and friendly. they use the top of the line products such as goldwell, redken, and quantum even though the shop is small and a bit messy i love my hair cut read more

I have been going here for a long time now. They are very affordable and most important, really friendly. I have gone through a few different hair styles and they do not disappoint. read more
