I have been a customer for many years, from when the shop was on Castro St. Tex does a great job very time.

The best salon with reasonable price. I forgot the person's name but he was very good at coloring my hair. I didn't even give him any picture or color of what I want. And I told him, I trust you, I want a natural color since my hair is curly and crazy color don't suit me. So he ended up coloring my hair accordingly . I was scared how it will end, but omg he did such a beautiful hair color very natural. Everyone asks me from where did you color? Thank you read more

After trying to track down an open salon for the past 3 months, I finally found one. Considering everything going wrong this year, I didn't have high hopes for my haircut, but it might actually be the only thing that's working right in 2020. Tex almost intuitively knew what I was going for, had good insights, and gave me a timely trim that didn't cut any corners (good conversationalist too). Exactly what I needed, and this all with masks on and in a safe-feeling, clean room in the back. For a haircut of this quality, you can't beat this price. Just because half our face is covered doesn't mean the rest of us can't look good. read more

Tex is a rock star and every cut is a hit. He is extremely skilled and really has an eye for what looks good. Very easy to recommend him to anyone of any age. Thank you Tex!!! read more

5 stars all the way. I have been going to Tex for years for men's haircut. Quality of the haircuts have been spot on. I remember the first time I was there I gave him some instructions on what kind of haircut I prefer and since then it's been great, every time. Rates are very reasonable and service is very professional. And what better than supporting a local business! read more

I have been following Kelly around for last 4-5 years. When she rented a station here a few months back, I started visiting this place. Her prices are very reasonable. Hair wash ( with treatment or conditioner massage), blow dry and straightening for $15 is a steal! My hair looks so sleek and shiny after seeing her. The only negative being that she can get a little distracted talking to the coworkers. My last visit the straightening iron touched my ear. No burn but still would prefer a perfect service. But overall a 5 star. read more

I really recommend this cozy salon. I did my roots and a beautiful haircut and was very well received by all the staff! And especially by the owner, an amazing and super friendly professional! I will go back anytime I'm in the area. Thank you so much!!! read more

Called to see if they could make room for a friend and I last minute and they did so happily! Had an amazing experience and was in and out-- happy with my results is an understatement. I will be back! read more

Tex came highly recommended and I was glad to get a convenient appointment right away. Tex immediately suggested a style that would work with the slight curly nature of my hair. The result is more youthful and sleek, and should be easy for me to maintain. I should add, prices are very reasonable. read more

Came to see Tex for the first time, after a friends recommendation. He fixed my horrible at-home dye-job with color and highlights. Everyone was super helpful and friendly and I love my new hair! It wasn't cheap and took a long time but worth it! read more

She understood the way I wanted my hair to be done. I m really happy with the service too. Ask for Kelly if you plan to visit this place anytime ! read more

Tex is fantastic! After reading other positive reviews, I walked in with no appointment and needed a stylist to fix a bad haircut I'd gotten a couple weeks prior. I wear a very short pixie so there wasn't much to be done but he worked a miracle! Nice vibe in the salon and the other stylists were very friendly. And it's affordable. I'll definitely go back and highly recommend it! read more

I came here to get my hair dyed from blonde to grey and they charged me $140 for it. The first day, after 6 hours it came out mint green. I shouldn't have come back after that, but I really wanted them to fix it. The second day I came back, they said it would take an hour but it ended up taking 4. I spent my whole weekend in this salon to end up with extremely burt and damaged hair that wasn't grey (more purple/blue) and a lot of my hair FELL OUT!!! They also hair dried my hair and curled it even though I communicated I did not want this treatment bc it is damaging to my hair. Pretty sure it was curled so I wouldn't be able to notice the length difference on the top. This is a professional salon, if they felt they could not do the job I would've preferred they just said so. Instead, I am left with a whole layer of top hair that is 5 inches shorter than the rest of my hair and all of it is broken hair. I am furious with the results. I will never be coming back to this salon. read more

I went in for the first time for a simple haircut, and during the cut, Tex suggested that highlights would look good in my hair. I'd thought about it many times before but never committed so when he asked if I wanted it then and there, I agreed and it was the best spontaneous decision! The dye was bleach free (which was always one of my hesitations about colouring) and came out looking amazing and very natural. I am so happy with my cut and highlights, I'll definitely come back here again - excellent service and result. read more

This is my first time here. I am very happy with the haircut. It took reasonable amount of time and the price is great. I will definitely come again. read more

***4.5 stars*** my good friend recommended this salon since she used to be a frequent customer while a resident of mountain view. she recommended a couple of the ladies, but said that her favourite was victoria, so i called and booked a haircut appt with victoria on a friday afternoon after work. although i was a few minutes late, victoria was ready to see me when i arrived, and immediately sat me down and asked what style i'd like. i had a photo of my previous successful haircut from another salon so it was easy to explain to her what i wanted and she had no problems understanding the style and length of the haircut i desired. we went to the shampoo station where she took her time shampooing and conditioning my hair, and that time actually felt really soothing and therapeutic after a stressful day at the office as she semi-massaged my scalp with lukewarm water. when she was done, she blotted my hair and clipped it up which worked well as it prevented water from getting into my ears or dripping down my neck and onto my clothing! we went back to her station where she grabbed several magazines for me, then went straight into the cut. although i appreciated the gesture, i mainly spent time catching up on emails and news on my phone, and despite looking down most of the time, she was able to keep my head straight and execute the cut the way without incident (i've had occasions when stylists kept asking me to look up or possibly cut crooked since i wasn't looking straight ahead!) every so often, she would comment on how shiny and soft my hair was, and how black it was. i'd told her i had coloured it several times about 10 years ago, but she could not tell as my hair did not appear damaged. then came the blow drying where she carefully styled my hair with a round brush, and once my hair was dry, she used a flat iron to further style my hair. although it wasn't necessary, as i don't think i'd had a flat iron used in my previous hair styling appts at other salons, it was a nice touch and gave my hair some extra body and shape. when she was done she held up a mirror in the rear so that i could see both front and back and the cut was pretty much spot on with the photo i'd shown her, slightly shorter, since i told her 3 inches instead of 2. i really appreciated that she took the time to pick the little hairs out of my sweater since the trimmed hair had stuck to my sweater during the appt (as a result of me holding out my arms to use my phone). note to self: do not wear a fuzzy sweater to a hair cut appt going forward! although she could not remove every hair, it was a really sweet gesture for her to attempt to pluck everything out even though she didn't need to. i went up to the counter to pay and although it was the agreed upon price of $30 for shampoo, cut & blow dry, they did not accept credit card! whoops! i just assumed that every business in this day and age accepted credit, or at least debit, but this was a cash or check only business. good thing i had just enough cash to cover the fee and leave her a small tip. i felt really bad as i wanted to leave her more since she did such a great job, but i didn't have anymore cash and didn't spot an atm nearby. she was very gracious and said "next time." yes, indeed, miss victoria, i think i will book an appt with you in a couple of months when i need my tresses trimmed again! the salon is conveniently located inside the mountain view shopping center in the "triangle" bounded by el camino real, highway 85 and highway 237, very close to downtown mountain view. car and foot traffic is quite heavy here, especially during rush hour, and parking is a bit tight, but be patient, and you will find a parking space! read more

I don't recommend this place for men's haircut. My stylist didn't pay attention to my description or did not understand it and didn't even bother to ask questions. In my experience stylists explain every step of the way as they are doing it and ask whether it's okay with you, but this guy he just went with his assumptions. He also didn't sanitize the trimming machines or scissors so ... I really don't get why this place has such high ratings! read more

I've been going to Victoria for a haircut and styling for over two years now and she's the best. Takes her time with the customer and does such an amazing job. read more

Thank you Kelly. You're amazing. They did a great job on my hair color. Very reasonable prices. I totally recommend for hair colouring and haircut. read more

Went in for a quick trim super last minute, and left with an amazing cut and highlights! Tex recommended I get some lighter highlights to really make my hair pop and he did not disappoint! Will definitely be returning :) read more

This is the very first time I get high lights or do anything to color my hair. When I went to Tex I was there for a haircut only - he recommended highlights to my hair so my face was brighter. I was in doubt since I had never done anything to it but I felt he was welcoming with his suggestions, making me feel that I was going to like it. In fact, I loved it!!! He chose the right color for my highlights. Since I have no experience, I just said I want something not to abrupt. He also gave a great haircut. This is the kind of place that you want to go back next time you need a haircut, stylish your hair or dye your hair. I am completely satisfied with the service and the look. I feel lucky that I found a great hair salon with nice and friendly service. Also, nevertheless great way to communicate. Awesome Tex thank you!!! Jasmine read more

Tex does an amazing job! The other two young ladies who cut hair and do pedicures are the sweetest, and nicest ladies. Tex dyes my thick Mexican hair, thins and cuts it perfect. The ladies take care of my daughter's "bob" haircut with bangs and provide pedicures for me on special days I want to spoil myself. Whenever I come inside, they are very friendly, professional, and personable. This is my "go to" place when I know I will get a good price and receive GREAT customer service. I have been a customer for 4 years now, and I am so happy I discovered VPaula Salon. Thank you! read more

Kelly has been my hairdresser for years and she is the best! She is an expert in her field and she pampers me every time I visit. If you have not had the pleasure of having her take care of your hair, please give her a call and let her pamper you. Her number is (408) 649-9038. You won't regret it! read more

My grandmother has been going to this salon for about a year now, and she recommended it to me (her granddaughter). I have been here 3 times now and Tex has never failed to have be leave with a smile on my face. Everyone working at Vpaul'a is super kind, and the results are fabulous. read more

Had a cut and color from Tex a few weeks ago in early May. It was my first time doing anything major to my hair and he was amazing, walking me through some recommendations and working to my comfort level. Really appreciated the care he took in his work -- he lightened my hair in a way to avoid damaging it and did the whole thing very skillfully. Have been very happy with how it turned out! read more

Great service and value! I've been coming to Tex for haircuts, and more recently for highlights, for over 15 years. I like to change-up my style every now and then, and I trust Tex to select the right products and style for my face and hair texture. I've always been pleased with the results. Vpaul'a staff also give great pedicures and facials at very reasonable prices. read more

I called last Saturday and Tex was willing to get me in the same day. I got a cut and full highlights. My hair cut and color were so bad before I came in but he did an AMAZING job! I love my hair now for the first time in a long time. He definitely knows what he's doing and is an artist with a lot of experience. I'll be back for sure! read more

I went to this salon last month and I fell in love with it! Hesitant at first, however the customer service definitely proved me wrong. Initially I called to get a haircut but they were fully booked. As soon as they had one spot available, they called me within 10 minutes to let me know. I was welcomed with open arms. I believe my lady that did my hair is named Karen. She offered me a complimentary deep conditioning before my haircut since my hair was so damaged and brittle. After my hair cut, she also placed a serum in my hair that left it so luscious as if no damage has been done. I loved my hair cut and my hair felt so healthy. I will come again! read more

I've been going to Tex since he opened up his original shop on Castro -- about 15 years. I have very thick unruly asian hair that results in some really nasty cowlicks if not cut right. Since I've found Tex's shop, I've been lookin' great for a good price. Shampoo, Condition, and head massage are all part of the package. These days I usually get serviced by Victoria, but Christina has also cut my hair. Both are skilled and take great care. read more

I've been coming to Tex for many years now ever since I discovered his previous salon on Castro Street. He's always given me high quality cuts and highlights tailored to exactly what I ask for and at a very reasonable price. The salon itself is very clean and nice, while Tex and his staff always provide a warm, casual, friendly vibe that makes you feel like you're family as soon as you walk in the door. Highly recommended. read more

VICTORIA VICTORIA VICTORIA!! I been coming to their salon for over 10 yrs now. Victoria never fails to amaze me. I bring her an idea and she makes it come alive. She has the magic touch, my hair grows longer every time i get a cut. She blends hair color so well. I highly recommend VPAUL SALON, prices are GREAT and the hairdressers are AMAZING! read more

I have moved from Colorado to Mountain View. Seems like everyone in rush here in California including hairdressers. I have had few bad experiences where I would ask for some hairstyle and get completely opposite of what was asked. This salon is exceptional, they are affordable and have the best customer service. They take time with customers. I really like Victoria and Tax. They are always there to listen to my needs and provide me with best results. Thanks tax and Victoria. Really appreciate your time! read more

I just went to Vpaul'a Salon for the first time in 6 months. I know things are slow for them at this point. Hopefully that will change. Everything worked great. They are only taking appointments so there are only up to 3 customers in the shop at a time. Everything is clean and as always Victoria does a great job with my hair. Highly recommend supporting this local business. read more

This is the only place to go for a great haircut. Tex is terrific and does fantastic job every time. They have flexible hours and can always accommodate anyone who has a busy schedule. read more

Be careful about pricing. The owner told me on the phone the hair color is $70-85 depends on the length. I had only hair color service, but he charged $120, so I asked. He mentioned "the special chemical is used for variation of color". However, by the time I pay, my hair became very dry, so he put hair iron (became more dry and damaged!!). Special?? I have to go to another salon to fix since my hair is extremely damaged by that chemical. $120 +tip became totally waste!! read more

Great place to go for a good cut! Tex gave me the cut I was looking for. Reasonable pricing and knowledgeable. I'm so glad I found this salon after getting so many wrong haircuts. read more
