Cali’s Perfect Cuts

Fuck this place. I have been going here for a while and wasn’t eager to have the guy cut my hair. Since it was busy, I decided to take my chances with him. The final result was an uneven cut that I noticed once I got home and showered.
I had to go back and have one of the ladies recut and blend it.
NEVER ALLOW THE VIETNAMESE GUY TO CUT YOUR HAIR! HE WILL LEAVE SOME AREA UNEVEN!

I still love this salon and I continue to go here and nowhere else. Thuy is still great and she remembers me even if I don’t get my hair cut for like a year. My mom and dad goes here too and she remembers them also.
Anyways, today I also got a pedicure and acrylic nail set by Van. She is very nice. I’m currently pregnant and in the beginning she advised to just get gel because it’s bad for baby so I ok’d to go for the gel. As we were finishing up the pedicure she said we could do acrylic set but she will just give me a mask to wear. I thought that was very nice of her because doing a gel set on regular nails is so much easier than doing acrylic set.
I will always be a returning customer for my hair cut! Love this salon.
$ 15 hair cut
$ 15 pedicure
$ 25 acrylic nail set
** note: literally 5 days since I got acrylic nail set and one nail already came off. Not very happy about that. I don’t even do heavy duty work. Knocked off a star.

I went here yesterday to have my elbow-​long hair layered. I wanted a straight layer but Loann suggested i get a U-​layer cuz that would be best for me. I just told her to do whats best and trusted her with the length and style of layer. Well, i wasnt disappointed! She really did her best and took her time on my hair. Loann really doesnt rush her customers. She also blow-​dried and ironed my hair. I payed $ 18.

Don’t have your hair cut by the old lady (the one in middle), she just quickly gets rid of customers. Others are lot better

Loan has been cutting my hair for years now. I am very happy the way she cuts it. She takes her time to make sure you are happy and satisfied. The price is very reasonable.

My spot for a cheap men’s haircut in milpitas. I used to go to Lisa’s in Sunnyvale and Kims in San Jose. but moved to the area and found my new barber shop! Everyone here knows how to cut here unlike some other viet places where you only get one or two good people and there’s always a wait for em. For $ 8 I can’t complain

I’ve been coming here for a while and they always do a quick and nice job!
This isn’t a fancy salon by any means but my hair is thick and curly and usually I just need a nice trim and relayering which they do a great job at.
$ 15 and I’m in and out in about 20−30min.
Sometimes there’s a wait so you know people are coming back!

Thuy is my favorite haircutter to go to. I used to live here but moved down to the Central Coast and I always have to get my hair cut by her whenever I come up. She takes her time and is precise and it turns out looking great every time. That’s why I keep coming back here for haircuts.

I’ve been coming here for like, a couple of years.
The other day, I was leaving the country and I needed to get a last minute haircut before taking off for the airport. But no time. But I figure if I go down the street to Cali’s right at 9:30 AM when they open, I can make it happen.
So I go down there, and what do I see, but a line of about 8 people, standing outside the door, waiting for the doors to open. WHAT!!? This is crazy for small town, little olé Milpitas! I had to give up the haircut and get on the plane with messed up hair because there was no time.
The point of this story, is that Cali’s had a line out the door before they were even open on a regular, weekday morning! I don’t think you’ll find that at any Supercuts or for that matter, any other barber.
It seems like it’s family run. Grandma is in there cutting hair, alongside her husband and their daughter and friends, I’m guessing. I’m guessing all this, because I don’t know **for sure** they are all family, but I have a good hunch they are. Next time I go in, I should be more outgoing and make some conversation with the stylists (I usually don’t talk much while I’m getting my haircut).
$ 7.00, or is it $ 8.00 — for a haircut. That’s what I think a haircut should cost for a person like me that doesn’t have much hair to cut.
I’ve been pretty happy with the haircuts I’ve gotten there. Not perfect every time, but not bad enough to cause me to go elsewhere.
It’s just a hole in the wall – nothing fancy at all. If you just want a quick, cheap haircut and you’re not bothered by the lack of fanciful surroundings, then this might just be your place.

Came in last minute on thanksgiving, quick and good price $ 8.00. Definitely will be back. Opened every day of the year but Christmas.

I come here to get my eye brows waxed by Thuy. It’s $ 8. I’ve been here 3 times for eye brow upkeep and have no issue. I will keep coming back!
Please keep in mind, this is a typical Vietnamese hair and nail salon. Services are fast and simple. If you ask for a complicated hair style, you might be disappointed. Don’t expect a deep conversation or luxury services. Keep it simple and you will be a regular!

WHY DIDN’T I READ THROUGH Unilocal AND LISTEN TO PEOPLE. I have been to haircut places that were as pricy as 50 bucks and as cheap as 6 bucks. (I’m a guy btw) I needed an emergency haircut today since I wouldn’t have time to do it later on. So I got stuck with the guy who smells like cigarettes. I asked for number 1 on side and back. He proceeded to SHAVE ALL MY HAIR to a bald finish.
I asked him to stop, and he said it is number one. The damage was done, so I only could hope he would even it out in the end. I WAS WRONG! Not only did he mess up my hair (worst haircut in my life), he left the rag on me and didn’t dry or clean up my hair. My mom taught me that many people live on tips and I should tip even if I hated the service. So I tipped the guy anyways.
This is the first time I ever hated a haircut I received. The cigarette smelling guy literally was jabbing the shaving tool to my head and just shaving to his heart’s content. Yes, hair will grow back. But the blow to my dignity in the meantime will be something I can’t forget… Fellow Unilocalers, please read the other comments and learn from our mistakes. I won’t ever go back.

Im a pretty simple girl when it comes to my hair. I usually have long straight hair with a bang and I just wanted to cut off the dead ends and add some layers. Usually when layers are added, the back of my hair looks like an upside triangle and it looks like I have no hair. So I asked for straight hair on the bottom with layers and my request was granted. I was in and out within 20 minutes on a Sunday at 3:30pm and it cost $ 15. I cant hate since thats considered cheap for a womens haircut. Well when I got home, of course there are a few strands that I had to fix because I can never get a perfect haircut and I can always find something to fix but it was fine

Not Perfect at all. Do not go to the old Asian man that reeks of cigarettes!!!

This was recommended to me and my sister by our cousin. As she was saying they are really good. It’s been a year since i do my hair so i decided to try it.
Loann is my hair dresser., she did haicut (layered), hair color and highlights (gold). I showed the picture what hair color i want. And i also asked if she can do permanent big curl. But she’s very honest that she cant do that. Which is fine with me coz she’s right it’s only curling iron^_^ anywys, i recommend her. She did great with my hair. And very nice.
As for my sister’s hair her hair dresser is Thuy. Since my sister wants something new. She has the same thing as mine^_^ i guess. She is also great. Very nice person. Over all i recommend this 2 ladies.
Tips: come here very very early as they open 9:30am. The crowd is packed ofcourse bec its saturday. hehe
And with the price. We had it cheap but not cheaper. With haircut, hair color and highlights for 120;) not bad.
I’ll try to come back before christmas for hair treatment;)

Decided to drop by for the first time to give it a try after I visited the tennis shop next door (I also gave Racket Supply a 5-​star rating — see review).
Thuy is the one to go to! She is meticulous and attentive to details, esp. your inputs.
I will try it out again since it’s just $ 8 plus tip!
Thuy is also very courteous and friendly with good chats.
I highly recommend this place.

3 words for your awesome haircut convenience: LOOK FOR THUY

Thuy is one of the best! She good with everything & a sweetheart! ;-)
She takes her time waxing, eyes brow, shampooing, coloring, styling and cutting my hair.

Today my sister and i got our pedis done. We always come her to get our nails done. Usually they do well and they listen to your requests. However, today wasn’t a good day and because it wasn’t good, i dont think i will ever come back here again.
First off the ladies that were doing our nails were rushing. My sister kept telling the lady how to fix her french tips, instead of fixing it she just kept saying that no it looks ok. My sister put up a little fight and then she finally kind of fixed it. When my sister told her to make her tips a little thinner, lady says «WAIT WAIT I ADD COLOR FIRST» (note: the color was clear) LOL. After that my sister just wanted to just get out of there. The lady that did my nails was also doing the same thing the other lady was doing only difference was, when i was telling her how to fix my french tips she just kept saying (NO NO THEY LOOK THE SAME) *Sigh*
THE MOST WEIRDEST THING HAPPENS NEXT!!!
My sister and I were ready to pay, the lady that did my nails told us, the charge was $ 14 (what we usually pay). Then another worker yells out «no $ 17. $ 14 for regular… $ 17 for french tip). Then the workers started getting confused about the price. As the workers were talking amongst themselves, my sister and i just started at them for about 5 mins. and they finally came to a decision to charge us $ 17. Very disappointed, I dont think i will be coming back here.
Thank goodness for Unilocal,because now i got to look for another place to get my nails done!

For $ 7, I really like this place. The key to getting the best men’s style haircut is to find the barber that suits your taste. I have had haircuts several times here from various barbers and I will admit, «#1 on the side and cut to about half inch on the top» is translated and done differently by everyone of them. It’s just like beef phở is different from one place to another. You can request a specific barber to cut your hair (which happens quite often by frequent customers). If you like the style you get, do not expect to get that cut by someone else next time.
This place gets pretty busy on Fridays. It’s 2011, I can’t even get a medium pizza for $ 7 these days so for a seven dollar haircut, I can’t complain.
