Vincent has been doing my hair longer than he probably wants to admit. My fellow Yelp reviewers commented following Vincent from one shop to another - no worries about that anymore. He is his own boss in his own shop and now his lovely wife also works to his exacting taste. I am so loyal to Vincent that he even did my hair when I lived in New York! I only have to drive from Oakland now - much easier. His coloring is fantastic - never gets it wrong no matter your hair type. His cuts are always perfect - he really listens to what you need. I have recommended Vincent to everyone I know and will continue to do so - he is THE VERY BEST! read more

Vincent was a genius. I had wanted to get my hair cut for a while, but my husband wanted me to keep it long...too bad. Off I went to V.I.P. salon where I got the best cut I have ever received. I left feeling like a model with a whole lot of attitude and a lot less hair!!! My hubby even really likes the cut, and everyone says it makes me look a lot younger. Just what a 50 something gal wants to hear! Thanks Vincent. read more

I'm a white knuckle flyer when a new hairstylist takes the scissors to my hair! I decided to try Vincent for a cut yesterday after reading the Yelp recommendations. It's not easy for me to try out a new salon, but I wanted a cutter closer to me than my previous one in Marin. Well, I made the right choice. The salon is fresh and clean and bright, yet very simple and modern. Vincent really listened to me about what I wanted. While he was cutting, he was conscientious and totally focused on my hair--very little chit-chat and no distractions. And, his price fit within my budget constraints. read more

It has been 2 months post a second hair cut - and it looks just a good. Vincent did the first cut and last minute request for some highlights. He did a superb job - and my hair is not that easy to work with. Great cut that got alot of compliments - but was a little more work than I anticipated. Went back 2 weeks later and his wife took the original cut/lines and created exactly the right cut for me - and now 2 months later it continues to work every day, in between shampoos, and with almost no maintenance. This shop is simple, clean, no fuss. Moderately priced, and the results are outstanding. And - they are open 6 days a week, accepted me as a "walk in" both times, and are just about as nice as can be - no pretention. A definite keeper that is my go-to place as long as they are running it. read more

I've been having my haircut here for the last 6-7 years. Vincent and Candice are extremely friendly and accommodating. Vincent is very skilled; he is the only one who can tame my extremely coarse hair (he uses a razor and hair clips and cuts some layers in order to thin out my hair). Will continue coming here as long as I can! read more

Very nice down to earth couple doing decent job. I kept coming back although I moved three hours away. Just decided to go to another place as they usually don't recommend dying my hair! I really need to dye my hair this time. LOL. read more

I stumbled onto this salon the other night after getting a manicure down the street. I inquired about their pricing and thought it seemed really inexpensive for a cut and highlight. After reading the yelp reviews I decided to give them a try and called the next day to make an appointment. They were able to fit me in that same day for a cut and highlight. The wife cut my hair and her husband did the color. They both did a fantastic job. Very meticulous and good at their craft. So happy I found this salon! The best cut and color I've had in a long time, and such great prices. read more

i received the worst haircut ever from vincent! i have thick hair, and i always have to get lots of layers to thin out my hair. but i don't think vincent cut off any of my hair, because after the cut, the thickness of my hair still felt the same when i ran my fingers thru it. that's one $35 haircut i regret! read more

Finally found someone who knows how to cut Asian hair. I've spent over $100 on haircuts that disappointed, but Vincent gets how my thick hair just wants to fall straight, and knows just what cut is best and how to get it done. Recommend ! read more

Vic always manages to make my long, frizzy, pouffy hair look cute & sophisticated. At 30$ for wash, cut and style, VIP Salon is a good deal.

I made an appointment a week in advance with Vincent for a haircut. He called to confirm the appointment the day before. I showed up at my apointment time. While my hair was being washed, another customer came in for a hair color. Next thing I know, Vincent was working on the lady who came in and my hair is being cut by his wife. A yelper had written in about this switch and to watch out for the tricky pair. The haircut was ok but I didn't care for the switch. read more

came here twice, the owners are from HK, very entertaining.

Wonderful costumer service and very friendly. A male and female both worked on my hair and did exactly what I asked for.

I have been going to VIP salon for a while now and have been very pleased with the haircuts that Vincent and Kennex have given me. I especially like Kennex, as I only need to sketch out the rough idea of what I am looking for, and she has always been able to deliver almost exactly what I wanted. Very friendly couple, and I so appreciate that Vincent has accomodated my schedule on some visits, even at an inconvenience to him. Love their reasonable price for a wash & cut. read more

I found Vic through my friend MARA. He made her hair looks so good. I made an appt with him for a color consultation, which was free. He understood what I wanted and managed to do it even though it was challenging. Other hair dressers told me what I wanted couldn't be done. He really listens and is creative and very knowledgeable about color. He's great with color and cut and reasonably priced. Now another friend of mine wants to go to him. Nancy D. read more

I recently moved to the bay area and found Vincent on yelp. I have had a few bad haircut experiences and very nervous about getting a new hairstylist. Vincent was very patience and listen to what I request and give suggestions. I got a fabulous haircut when I came out! Glad I found him again. read more

I have been going to VIP Salon for 4 years now and have always left with great cuts. I am usually pretty last minute with my appointments and they always manage to squeeze me in. I've had Kennex and Vincent cut my hair and they both do a great job. I love supporting the shops on 25th Avenue and will definitely be back. read more

Just got back from getting my haircut here. I had been out of the area for quite some time and was looking for a place to get my haircut. This was an important haircut since I am starting school soon and need to look good for the first day! I went to Vincent based on his yelp reviews and I could not be more pleased. The place was very clean and modern feeling. Vincent was talkative and nice. Most importantly he listened to what I wanted and made sure that everything as perfect before I got out of the chair. The best part is that the haircut was only 20 bucks, which is very reasonable for the job that he did. All in all a great place to go and get your haircut. He only advertises by word of mouth so make sure you tell your friends! read more

Best salon ever. We've been going for years to this clean top quality salon with reasonable prices and have never been disappointed. Kennix has magic hands - her shampoo/scalp massage is heavenly and her haircuts are careful and meticulous. She keeps us looking sharp and polished! read more

Nice guy, but unfortunately not deserving of a 5-star rating. My hair looks pretty jacked up.

Vincent is a nice guy. He does good highlights if you want a color similar to your current hair color. However he can't make a dark brunette go blonde or even become a light brunette. That's because he doesn't put many foils. After leaving this salon I have gotten partial highlights from other salons where the stylists put double the foils of his full highlight, which was astonishing to realize how minimal foils he uses. read more

I went here for my husband's haircut. The woman was busy and the guy was free sitting so he came to do the haircut. In the middle of the haircut I noticed behind of the head he cutted too much of the hair, the skin was quite seen, so I told him about it. Then after some time I told him to make shorter the front part some (the one that come to forehead) , then he rudely told me 'can you sit in your chair, I haven't finished yet my job', woww, quite an attitude, who talks to client like that. Then I never said a word. Then he finished the job, I checked all the hair, many were done uneven from all over the head, it definitely wasn't not the best place to go and we definitely won't go there again. I mean even if he would be the best hairdresser and he would do well his job at least I would think ok at least he is good at his job, but no, that wasn't not the case unfortunately. Also in the middle of haircut (still half way to go) a client came in, he told him he'll be ready in a SECOND ( a bold lie), it took at least 10 minutes. Then when he finished the job I asked if he can also wash the hair, he said "I have no time' and the other nice hairdresser woman just finished her job, so he could have forwarded that job at least to her, but no he decided to be rude again. Then we had to ask this other woman if she could wash the hair and she was very nice and said 'Sure', it took like 3 min, very nice. The woman is nice at least what I saw, I don't know about her talents, but the guy no way, with rude attitude and thinking he is the best hairdresser attitude is definitely not working. I give 2 starts just for the woman, she saved the day. :) read more
