I moved to MV nearly two years ago and struggled to find a stylist all this time that was closer to me since my last one moved. I called super last minute after checking out Yelp, and Tex was able to get me in. I realized once I left that the salon closes at 5PM, and he was generous enough to stay a little after on Mother's Day and do my hair for me. He's super friendly, and really knows what he's doing. It's easy to communicate what I want, and he delivered! I only wanted a trim and to clean up my hair a bit, and he was able to keep the length there. I often struggle to find a stylist who knows how to cut textured hair, but he did amazing. Definitely becoming a regular here! read more

Came in SUPER last minute and they were able to get me in! I am EXTREMELY picky with haircuts (especially when I'm going shorter) so I was a little scared even with the good reviews this salon has but them reviews did NOT disappoint!! I live about a hour from here but I will definitely be coming here from now on, it's definitely 100% worth the drive. The person who did my hair was really laid back, which is always good. She shampooed, layered, and styled my hair in like 30 minutes. Super fast and efficient; she knows what she is doing. Usually I freak out and will tell the person that they need to do whatever else but I didn't have to tell her anything. She looked at the picture of the hairstyle I wanted for MAX 15 seconds and executed it with a single problem. I am coming back here to get my highlights done soon and will update with pictures from that session. :) Thank you! read more

Tex and staff are the best. I was a client before moving out of state since 1985. Reliable, great haircuts and people. Highlights were always good. Tex tries to make everyone happy and comfortable. I had Victoria also take care of my hair as well she is amazing at color too. MC read more

Tex is incredible! I came in with box dyed dark brown hair over my natural blonde and he was able to get me safely to a blonde without damaging my hair. My hair actually feels 10x better than what I came in with! He gave me a clear plan to get back to my natural color too and recommended great products to keep my hair healthy. The prices were fair and the service was great. 100% recommend! read more

The guy needs to wait for instructions before touching hair. I went in there and I was telling him what I wanted and he went in with clippers but I did not want that. The haircut was mid at best. The trim near the ears and on the back was left untidy, not cleaned up at all and that is the only part that he could've done right because the rest of the haircut is wrong. He couldn't even do that part correctly read more

Went back to get highlights and a haircut and Tex did a great job with both. Prices still reasonable. Thanks!

I found Tex at Vpaul while traveling. He did an excellent job shaping up my haircut...he gave me such a fresh look without making me feel like I lost too much length. I should add my hair is very, very thick and has some wave...it can be hard to find stylists that can cut textured hair. Thank you, Tex! read more

I recently moved to the Bay Area and was in need of a new stylist. So I turned to Yelp to find the best salon and I found this gem that's so close to my house! I read the reviews and decided to book a haircut with Tex. The appointment process is pretty easy, you just call them and ask for a time. On the day of my haircut appointment , I showed Tex some pictures of the styles j like and he immediately got it. After 45 min, I got the super cute LOB in the pic. Soooooo happy! I even sent my husband to Tex for haircut! Thank you Tex! I'm gonna come to you for haircut as long as I live in the area! read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Vicky. She's the best. She knows what she's doing, and more importantly, she is a delight to be around. I always look forward to my appointment! read more

I had been going to Vpaul'a for three years. But the most recent experience was so bad that it will be the last one. Before the last visit, there were always wash, careful cut and blow dry. But this time they skipped the wash and spent only total around 10 min on my haircut and blow dry. The haircut looked terrible!! They still charged me the same price $40 and only accepted cash! I will not go back. read more

My ash brown with highlights came out so great! It's even better than the reference photo. Tex did such an amazing job and was very in detail. I finally found my regular salon! read more

Tex is an amazing hair stylist. You can see that most of his clients are repeat customers and love coming back. Tex gave me good advice about a couple different baby light options that I wanted to go with. So we decided with caramel babylights for my skin care and face. Tex is honest and he's been in the industry for 10+ years. You can trust him with good quality haircuts and styling! Thanks Tex, I will be back! read more

I called to schedule an appointment with Thao and was told she passed away in a car accident. It saddens me. She seemed like a great human being. read more

My only gripe about this place is they don't take credit cards. I wish they do or even Venmo. For a trim is ok. The only perk for a 35 dollar trim is a shampoo and blow dry. But I really do wish they take credit card or Venmo or PayPal. read more

Tex has delivered great service and wonderful results at a surprisingly affordable price. He has cut and highlighted both myself and my two teen daughters hair several times over the past year. He is great with color - our blonde hair looks beautiful and feels soft and healthy because he uses great quality products. Highly recommend! read more

First time getting highlights at this place and they nailed it! From the warm welcome to the expert service, I couldn't be happier! Highly recommend! The vibe is super chill. read more

Tex has been my hairstylist for 30 years. Great price, and please call for appointments because his availability depends on walk-ins, too.

Spontaneously decided to get a haircut earlier this morning, and after doing some research, I decided to make a 1h drive to MV for a haircut. Tex suggested I color my hair (as half was previously bleached) and I'm so glad I went with it. Both the cut and color turned out great! Tex is magical to say the least, and he's really fun to talk to! Highly recommend! read more

It is great that I spend hours with the service I receive from Tex. Tex did an amazing job with my hair! He recommended doing some highlights on my hair, so it could look nice with the blunt bob, and it lifts my upper roots of natural black hair to a lighter shade. It is so far one of the best hair salon experiences that I've had. It is a great stylists like Tex, and the service gives you a reasonable price. read more

I have been going to VPauls for over 25 years. They are like family to my wife and I. You could not find a better hair salon anywhere. So accommodating, friendly and above all caring. Always up to date on the trends of today. Try them. You will not go wrong. read more

Had such a great experience getting a haircut by Victoria. Although busy with appointments she was able to squeeze me in for a quick trim. Not only was she nice, she was so accommodating with my baby. I'm a new mom and was in need of a haircut so it was nice to be able to nurse my baby while getting a haircut. Glad I found a new hair salon so quickly! read more

Great salon, loved the staff very welcoming. I got my hair done and even though my old bleached highlights were super dark they still managed to make my hair look good with the highlight color i wanted. the owner gave me a free boba drink from his other shop a few stores down while i waited for the bleach to sink in. the salon is also very clean with an accesible washroom. read more

I went to this salon on a whim due to good yelp reviews. And they were right! Tex welcomed me right away and made me feel important. He knew exactly what my hair needed. I dyed my hair from blonde to black and missed my blonde. After many failed at home bleach sessions, I needed a real professional. He made sure my hair regained health. The hot oil treatments are life changing by the way. Anyway, I've never left a salon loving my hair that I literally took a picture in the car and left smiling all the way home. Great conversations too. Fun place to go. They offer many services. I'll be coming back to touch up my highlights and probably just spend the whole day getting relaxed and feeling beautiful. Also check out the 25 year old fish they have in a huge gorgeous fish tank with some of the fish's friends. You know a place is good when they like animals. Props! See you soon Tex! read more

I think I just found my go-to salon. Tex did an amazing job with my hair! He was able to lift my naturally dark brown hair to the shade I wanted without the use of bleach. He also gave me a fresh layered trim. Easily one of the best salon experiences I've had in awhile. Reasonable pricing. Super kind staff. And I got free tea! read more

I've been going to Tex for over 20 years from when my hair was waist-length to now 4 years past Chemotherapy. Now I'm 58, but I'm told my hair looks much younger. I've moved 3,000 miles away, but still come back to Tex for my haircuts and highlighting. He's a magician with color making it look natural and well-conditioned. I've seen men & women of all ages/styles, and they always come out looking great! He gets quite busy, so I'd say be sure to make an appointment and even then be patient, as he overlaps customers needing haircuts while your color is setting. Maybe grab a boba tea from his new business next door. Definitely worth the wait and the trip. I also love his invigorating scalp massage. His prices are very reasonable too. This last trip in May everyone said, "Wow, your hair looks great!" When I was last there in December, I only got a trim--no color, and nobody said that. So if he recommends highlights to cover the gray, do it! read more

They are OPEN! I've been a long time patron for many years. Tex always does a great job on my hair! He will make recommendations on how to cut and care for your hair. If you still have Covid length hair, I recommend it's time to stop in (with your mask)! read more

the owner helped me before and i was happy with it, so i came back then i asked for a trim and he immediately snipped off the long part of my asymmetrical A-line without even hesitating, before i could even notice.. i can tell he was stressed and pressed on time because there was a customer waiting for him as he was behind schedule. he had to cut the back shorter and i kept saying i don't like my hair too short but he kept cutting saying he can "fix it"... i feel extra sad about this because i'm going to an event next week and i'm just super not happy with my hair.. please if you see this, don't rush when you cut your customer's hair. please be honest and tell your customers if you don't have time. this was really important to me and i trusted your team. read more

Tex does such a great job! I appreciate the care he takes to make my hair look it's best. I don't think I'll ever go anywhere else! read more

Still emotionally processing the decision to come here and have almost 3 years of diligently grown out virgin dirty-blonde hair to get a balayage done to have my hair essentially mutilated here... essentially no blending at the top with chunks and patches... I am so mad at myself for not waiting for a more experienced professional to have it done and now I will have to pay $400-500 to have someone very experienced to fix where the blonde starts at the top unblended and patchy splotches, but I don't even know if it's fixable. I paid them $320 and it looks like I had a 13-year-old do it in my bathroom. It was curled when it was done so I could not see how bad it was immediately but they clearly would have been able to see it before they curled my hair and they didn't say anything. I wish they would have told me that this person was completely inexperienced yet they said she could do balayage/highlights/baby lights, and was clearly just winging it... I'm very sad and upset and angry, at myself and them.... Ugh :( Just really disappointed in myself more than anything... I learned a lesson that if someone has an appointment the next day to do bleach, it probably means they don't have any experience. I probably should've known better but the guy running it sounded so confident... I'm writing this review because it's one thing to accidentally mess up a little spot, It's a whole other thing to pretend that someone has the experience to do some thing and clearly they do not. I even told them how long I had been growing out my hair to do this. I'm Just... sad :( read more

We came for the first time today - both of my children had a great experiences. My son usually hates haircuts. After meeting Tex today, he actually said he hopes his hair grows out fast so he can come back for another haircut! He looks stylish, and Tex made him feel so comfortable. Tex did a great job on my daughter's long hair as well. We will be back! read more

New customer yesterday. I asked for color and haircut. I needed my roots to match the rest of my blond hair. The result, after 40-45 minute- without not once being checked, was orange hair on top and the rest white! The guy said it was because my hair tended to red. I complained and he then applied a toner which luckily was kept 10 instead of 15 minutes like he had said - again he never checked me once - and my hair turned a disgusting shade of blue-grey. The haircut was a bare trim, though he said he would style my hair and finally he used the straightening iron without asking. Total: $100. This is in no way professional work. First and last time for me. Stay away from this place. read more

I came in for a root touch up. Had been charged $65 in the past but this time $90 with no explanation. The color is ok but not great. Won't be going back. read more
