The Hair Shapers

I saw Loane yesterday for another great cut! She is very good and so nice! Thanks, Loane!

I love Vans customer service she is great!

I had a very bad experience at this salon. The service was so horrible. I am never going to come back here or recommend this place to anyone. I purchased a groupon for haircut and conditioning. The lady was in such a hurry, she did not even condition the hair properly and finished the haircut in 5min. She did not even dry my hair and I had to walk out with water dripping off my hair. She literally pushed me out. Horrible experience. I will never go back. Please do not offer groupons if you cant respect the customers buying deals from groupon.

Luckily Anna at Dollhouse was able to fix my hair without cutting too much off the length.
Anna asked me, «Did the other place have elderly clients.»
I replied «Yes, a lot, why?» (I guess this should have been a warning sign to me, but I had assumed it was because it was the middle of the day and everyone else was at work…
Anna explained that Lily at Hair Shapers had ‘used the wrong kind of cuts’ on my hair, and had cut it as if she was doing ‘an old lady’s short haircut.’ Anna also explained that she never should have used the texturizing shears so far up, and that my hair would look frizzy as a result. She thought maybe it was Lily’s attempt to try to fix the layers. She also pointed out that the bottom was uneven, the layers were not properly joined, and of course, ‘the shelf.’ And of course the layers were badly uneven, as even my boyfriend could see.
Wish Lily would never have touched my hair if she had no idea how to cut normal shoulder length/​long hair.
I hate writing such a negative review of what seemed like a nice enough person, but this was massive incompetence that cost me additional time and money to fix.

I have been going to hair shapers for a very long time and I have many positive things to say:
My hairdresser Van is absolutely wonderful, I have never walked out of there dissappointed with my hair.
Mitra, the owner offers a pleasant greeting all the time and is very caring to everyone especially clients with disabilities or the elder, i have often watched her go out of her way to make sure people are well taken care of.
Overall the entire staff, hair stylists and manicurist are very happy, always smiling and I have never seen otherwise. Being able to talk with your stylist and vice versa about different things like your kids graduation for example is a joy and gives you a feeling of comfort as it should be in any salon, and my feeling in all due respect to the previous rating about hair stylists fixing their own hair is. Nothing more says «I Love My Job» than to see a stylist practise her own profession while she has free time or between clients.

Upon walking in I was greeted — or should I say I wasn’t greeted — by a woman styling her own hair. She paused for a second to look up at me and told me to have a seat while I waited for my hairdresser. While I waited I saw another woman sit down and proceed to style her own hair. My appointment was made for noon; at 12:20 my hairdresser finished her client and came up to me.
She took me to her chair and I told her what I wanted — I always go with something simple when I’m trying a new person. She handed me a brush and asked me to brush my hair as she walked away to get what looked like hair color (this could have been conditioner, I couldn’t see what was in the container). The tapering of the front of my face was painful, the scissors pulled as they razored down. I’ve never experienced pain during that process before. I should mention that she cut her finger during this initial trim.
She directed me to the sinks and I sat down in the uncomfortable hair washing station and had an uncomfortable hair wash. The water was too cold when she started, then fluctuated between too hot and too cold as it was pouring on my hair. I had a deep conditioning which involves sitting under the blower for about 20 minutes. During this time I listened to another hairdresser have a conversation with her client about their kids that can’t graduate high school. I also watched as my hairdresser started on a new client. After 23 minutes my hairdresser removed the blower and told me to sit tight. I waited while she worked on her other client until eventually she came back to me.
She did a few more cuts to my hair and offered to let me sit under the blower again to dry my hair. I asked her if she was going to blow dry it and she said that was extra. I told her I was in a hurry to get back home to my puppy (I had now been there for almost 2 hours) and did not want to sit under a blower (or pay extra for a service that should have been included with that price tag).
My cut is exactly what I would expect from a Super Cuts but the price tag is not the same, nor is the cleanliness of the facility, nor the friendliness of the staff (Lily, my hairdresser, was very friendly, just not the other people inside).

I’ve been going to Hair Shapers for at least 13 years. Mitra has been doing my hair all that time — color, style and trim. I moved to Mountain View and still travel back to Hair Shapers every month and continue to receive complements on my hair! A real plus occurred when Samantha moved into the shop for facials and massages. I’ve had ‘back scrubs’ which felt amazing, a series of laser light facials and I routinely seek her touch to shapen my eyebrows and remove that excess facial hair. The room they made in the back for this must have extra insulaton — it is quiet, relaxing and very comfortable. Samantha is friendly yet professional — knew what she was doing and explained the steps along the way — something I really appreciate! Hair Shapers is definitely worth checking out.

This review is for the skin care only.
I took the chance of buying a groupon to Samantha Skin Care without reading any Unilocal reviews. It is within walking distance to my house, price was great, and as my estetician is out for 2 months, it was just enough to get me by until she returns.
I was a bit hesitant before I bought the groupon as it was inside a hair salon (The Hair Shapers) and I am all for peace and quiet while I am relaxed and getting my monthly facial. So I did check it out on the way home once, and it seemed quaint, and one of the hairdressers told me how great Samantha was (she was not in when I popped in). But I really could not beat the deal and proximity to my house. There was some rescheduling on my end and Samantha, but we made it work on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and before my Sharks game. She understood my need for not wanting to look too red or oily before the game. Even though I was a 10 minutes late, she was very accomodating.
It was super cozy and comfy in the room, and I barely heard the blowdryers going off outside. I was very relaxed and told her about my skin history, and she took really good care of me, explaining each product. Extractions didn’t hurt, but I will ask for more thorough extractions next time as she knew I didn’t want to be super red before the game.
Her massages are also killer. Loved them. Neck and head massage was so nice and relaxing as the mask set in. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, and it was the first time I got a head massage without my hair looking all oily! Samantha is super friendly and knowledgable about skin care. I do recommend if you are looking for a place to get a facial!

Lily has been my hairstylist for more than 15 years. She is so good that I have actually moved with her to various salons where she has worked. She is an excellent stylist, colorist and all-​around miracle worker! She listens to you and does exactly what you tell her. Lily is always up-​to-​date with the current styles but at the same time, you don’t have to worry about being pressured into something that is not you. If you want a change or an update to your look, no problem. She is «spot on» with her suggestions and the creation of your style. I feel like a new person every time I see Lily. Always professional and friendly, Lily is the BEST!

I have been a regular of Lily for years now. She is the most amazing hair stylist I have ever experienced. She is extremely good at what she does, very friendly, and caters to your needs. All of her co-​workers are all very sweet and Hair Shapers is a fantastic establishment. I would highly recommend Lily for cut, highlights, perm, and threading.

Forgive me, this review is way past due.
I have been coming to Loann for about 5 years now, not only do I ADORE her, so do all my friends and family who have started coming to her also. I am not a licensed hairdresser but I have been doing my own hair for years. What I love about Loann is that she does ONLY and exactly what I ask for. I don’t have to say anything when I go in, she just knows how I like it and doesn’t pressure me to try something else. We always catch up when I come in, she is the biggest sweetheart. 5 stars for my favorite hair stylist. (And I don’t do favorites often!)
Ps. She is AMAZING with cutting A-​Lined a haircuts.

I’ve been going to Mitra every three months or so for the last five years-​and wouldn’t go anywhere else. She is a phenomenal colorist. She colors my hair to get rid of the gray and then applies blonde highlights which always turn out great whether I’m going for a subtle look or something more dramatic. Her shop is very nice and I don’t mind driving out of my way, because I am consistently happy with the work she does, and I’m happy to sat I receive many complements on the style and color.

Mitra is my hairdresser there and I couldn’t be happier with her work. I always get compliments on my color and cut. That’s good enough for me and her prices are fair. Cut $ 30.00 Color $ 55.00 She has great products for sale and lovely jewelry as well.

I walked in off the street and got a great cut. I was driving around looking for a place to try and had not had my hair cut in several months. I really like how she discussed what I wanted and made suggestions for my type of hair. And the price was great too!

You wouldn’t think twice about going into the location this salon is located in. It’s in a run down plaza with a grocery store and a few restaurants. There is a grand opening sign outside the place. I did my best not to look so surprised about the salon. The place is super clean, absolutely spotless. My cousin went to get her haircut from Anna so I thought I’d come in and try it out.
My mom and I were greeted warmly by Anna and her co-​worker. I explained I wanted a simple bob to take care of my hair which looked uneven from my last cut (different salon). She smiled and told me she’ll do her best to fix it. She immediately washed my hair and went straight to work. She was gentle and very meticulous about every snip.
The end result was perfect :). Everything turned out great and just to what I wanted. My hair has never looked healthier. A regular cut would be $ 20 and wash & dry with a cut would be $ 25. Not bad! Make sure you call and make an appointment though.
