Supercuts

Cecilia did the worst hair ever. I am totally upset about the result.

It was my last day visiting my family in Berkeley, and I was in the elmwood looking for a place to get my hair dyed (it needed it bad) All of the more upscale salons were booked up so I decided to give supercuts a chance. I usually dye my own hair so I figured they must be able to do a better job than that. I was wrong, the lady that did it completely missed the whole under part of my hair. I guess I didn’t see it at the time, and didn’t realize till I got back home (to Los Angeles, where I live now), so I can’t go back and have it re-​done. What a waste of 70 bucks. I’ll dye it myself next time!

This place has a terrible vibe. Almost all of the people working there seem really angry and depressed. And on top of that, a lot of them are really lazy — rushing through their work sloppily. I went in yesterday with a very specific and easy request, and the woman working basically just said «I don’t feel like doing that, I’ll do something else.» At the end, when I asked her to keep going (I wanted it shorter as I had originally requested), she muttered something under her breath about «plastic cover» and said «no.» Avoid at all costs.

I’m used to the higher end hair salons. Cut, wash, style usually included in price not here you got a charge got for everything. Lady did a good job but to fast and not carful thank got no mess ups happen. Ima just stick to my high end salons where it feels more welcomed and better service

New to the area, I took my teenage son here. No real enthusiasm from anyone here. The girls were flat and lifeless. My son was looking forward to the hot towel that never came. They took less than 10 minutes with everyone that walked in. Sadly disappointed and will not be back.

Staff are super nice. Call ahead for an appointment if you want a particular stylist. We prefer Curtis, but they all seem to be good.

I wouldnt recommend this place if you’re looking for a really good haircut or some kind of style, place is good for basic cuts and trims, not very friendly staff at all, people seemed to be tired and miserable!
i asked to trim a few inches and make layers, but the final result was fair from being good!
had to ask someone else to fix it up for me

Completely average. The upside is they’re very quick. Downside is they tend to be inattentive and I usually just get a borderline acceptable haircut. University Hair Care is infinitely better but more out of my way so I usually end up at SuperCuts.

I found parking easily on the street. Staff at the front desk were very helpful and kind. Curtis was able to squeeze me in, even though he had a full schedule. He even told me about the 30% Student discount EVERY Thursday. Go here, and find Curtis.

Been going here for more than a decade. Estella is fabulous.

This place is a disaster!
I admit it was my fault to chose them for a hair dye and cut. My fault!
But I wasn’t expecting unprofessionals, rude «stylists».
I’ve been to plenty of Supercuts before but this one is a joke. The woman, Cecilia was rude, didn’t know a thing about hair (and I had taken an appointment — not that I was just barging in)
Apart from the pathetic service, she literally was pulling my hair out while parting them, dying them, combing them, even shampooing them.
On the top of the that, she used such a cheap dye that my hair have become like a fucking broom — NEVER GO THERE!

Tagged a long with a friend. We went in 20 minutes before closing. They had her pay before the hair cut.
The stylist that was available clearly did not want to do it. She gave a bit of an attitude to the cashier before accepting. My friend wanted what the Supercuts website describes as a «chin length bob with texture». She told her stylist that and the stylist didn’t know what that was (although the super cuts website says to tell your stylists those exact words), so she had to pull up a photo on her phone. During the hair cut she kept stopping to look at the clock.
I guess this would be an ok place to get a quick haircut without an appointment. I wouldn’t really recommend it though, especially for anything more than a trim.

I love the person who cuts my hair, her name is Cecilia. Whenever I want to get my hair cut I call a little after 9am and ask if she’s working that day and if she is, I make an appointment. I’ve always been very pleased with her work.

I totally understand that going to Supercuts or any «quicky cut» chain is a crap shoot.
Sometimes you find a decent stylist and sometimes you don’t. When you find a good one they usually disappear before long and move on to better.
I picked Curtis because the reviews for him in particular seemed great. I picked his first appointment of the day so he wouldn’t feel rushed. My hair is pretty short, kept over the ears, forward and messy in the front. Pretty darn basic.
Bottom line: It took under 10 minutes, I could see him chop areas that I knew would grow out horrendously and I was correct. For the speed and tornado like actions (not technique) that was used it could have been a lot worse. But there is no way to pay attention to any detail at that speed… and he didn’t. Not even the one minor detail I asked for.
I will never be back.

Came in at noon on Sunday expecting a long wait. Got a parking spot steps away (miracle!), and the waiting area was empty! The gal from Mexico was available, and at first I thought she wasn’t very friendly, but she turned out to be a pleasant person, and best of all… She listened to what I wanted, and executed a good haircut! Not only that, but it’s the first time I have ever left a salon without any itchy hair cuttings on my neck. I checked my haircut carefully when I got home and again a fee hours later, and it looks great! The cut was $ 17, and at that price, I can afford to tip 40%, which is what I did. Thanks!

I recently got a haircut here, and told the hairdresser exactly how short I wanted to cut it. She ended up cutting it wayyyyy shorter than I wanted. I wanted about 5 inches cut, and she cut like a foot. My hair passed my butt, and now it’s mid-​back. The layering job also wasn’t that good. I wouldn’t come here again, but the only good thing was that it was cheap.

Came in w hair. Left without it (not what I wanted, but hey, shit happens). Beware of attitude.

I have been coming here since 2009. Sadly I will be the last day that I ever come back.
There are some great stylists here for an affordable price, but they are diamonds in the rough. The worse part is that the other stylists are really really bad. I mean really really bad. If I had to get my haircut to save the world, they were the last salon on the face of the planet, then and maybe then would I go to CVS to buy my own clippers.
I can’t just come by if my person isn’t there to get a decent haircut. It’s either a good haircut or an awful one.
I asked for a fade and instead got cheetah.

I had a wedding to attend in the evening and wanted to go to a place that wouldn’t be packed or cost a lot for a simple updo. I called ahead to make an appointment and see if they could do what I wanted. I spoke to Scott who told me he «just didn’t do braids» when I mentioned the updo look I was going for. He suggested his coworker Simone who can braid with the best of them. Excited, I scheduled the appointment.
When I arrived, the lobby was busy which surprised me, but I checked in with the receptionist and was told to have a seat. After waiting 15 minutes I get summoned to a chair by Scott. I immediately noticed his curt and somewhat icy demeanor, but passed it off as the effect of a busy day. I sat and showed him what I was thinking, braids. He reminded me in a not-​too-​kind voice that he can’t do braids and would I want anything else. Going with the flow I suggested a French twist. He got upset with me and said I already told you I don’t do braids! Taken aback I said a French twist has NO braids in it, the hair is just rolled. I guess he forgot what it was for a moment, but didn’t apologize for nearly bitting my head off.
Not wanting to make small talk with him, I stayed silent for fear of further recrimination. He began styling, then freaked out because he didn’t have a certain brush. He searched around, asking other workers if they had one — no one did. He made due. When he got to the final stages, taking two sections of hair in the front that get wrapped around the back, I hesitantly asked if those sections could be braided, literally just a simple braid a 5 year old could do, and wrap them in the back instead. He got huffy, jerked his hands away and started removing the bobby pins from my hair. Go to Simone, he directed me.
So I switched chairs to Simone. Who seemed like a somewhat shy woman who had magic braid fingers. I was slightly relieved to be honest to get out of his chair and with someone more competent. How wrong I was. Simone also had no clue what she was doing. She lacked the confidence in her ability and wanted to please me (which isn’t a bad thing when you’re in the service industry by any means… Until it affects your work!). She undid multiple braiding attempts, saying no, no I can do better. By that time I had less than an hour until the wedding started. Not being able to take their lack of understanding, basic styling skills and common curtesy to clients and each other, I got up from the chair, removed the smock and left.
I should have known that it would be a disaster, but I had hopes that there would be a secret styling ninja among them. Wrong. SO SO wrong. I will never, ever again attempt to go here again. Scott needs a reality check and a lesson in how to have a better attitude. Simone just needs to speed things up and get with it. Usually I would be appalled at behavior I displayed, thinking the person was rude. However my action was entirely justified. They wasted my time, nearly made me late for my friend’s wedding and heightened my blood pressure levels.
DO NOT GO HERE.
Did I mention I had to bring my own bobby pins for them to use?! Outrageous.

I hate haircuts mainly because I’m terrified of the outcome.
Kurt was the person who cut my hair this evening from my break during work. He was speedy, extremely friendly and my haircut was better than I expected.
Second trip: Trinh cut my hair and I’m yet again in love with my haircut.
