Treat yourself

by lugchi at Citysearch

I've been going to HCS for almost 6 months now. Every single time I go there, I come out of it feeling and looking great. Staff of HCS is the friendliest and nicest in whole San Jose. They will make sure to make your visit as pleasurable as possible. Of course Anh does an amazing job with colour and hair cuts. I get a lot of complements on my hair now. HCS has a 1 week guarantee, so if you don't like your colour they will redo it for you. Which is great, because it makes you feel somewhat safe, knowing that you won't have to run to another salon and spend another X amount of $ to correct the colour.

I also like their VIP room for manicure and pedicures. Try it! If you had stressful week/day this will make you forget about things. I go to Vickie for manicures/fill ins. She has 20 years of experience and does an awesome job!

To sum up, on my Birthday this year I went to HCS and got my hair,nails and massage done. And the ladies at the salon made sure that I'd feel like a birthday girl :-) It was quite a treat :-)

Great color and customer service

by Bishop23 at Citysearch

I love this salon. Everyone there is so nice and unpretentious. I went there the first time for correctional coloring, I had had colored my own hair and it turned black, Ahn, the owner, pulled all the black out and made it a wonderful auburn-brown. I went again because I wanted to lighten my hair and again she did a great job, she listened to what I wanted and delivered better than my expectations. As long as I?m in San Jose area this will be the salon I go to.

An Excellent Cut

by cassiec2042 at Citysearch

This unassuming storefront houses great talent. I came to Anh the day after getting possibly the worst haircut imaginable. Anh was able to do an excellent rescue job and has been cutting my hair since. As she is the proprietress, her attention is in high demand: expect her to get called away. But don't let it put you off, she has done beautiful work with my hard to manage hair. Definitely make an appointment, and if you can manage to go on a weekday, it's much less crowded.

Top notch Hair Salon

by joyc3 at Citysearch

I have always been very choosy when it comes to hair care and dont just walk-in to any random hair salon unless I've done my research and read through reviews/testimonials about the place. And this salon I could definitely say is worth going to because Ann's team of experts will really take care of your hair.

I had my hair straigthened and colored and I am beyond satisfied with the result. Its been 4months now and my hair still straight and smooth. And today I'm coming back to get a hair cut and color. So to anyone who's new to the area, like me who's very skeptical about where to go, youll never regret trying out Hair Care Salon - the Best in Downtown San Jose.

• Pros: Free Parking Validation, Cozy ambience, Hospitable Staff, Great hair products

Amazing Experts in Color and Cuts

by twinklelittle88 at Citysearch

I just moved here from Texas and tried 3 other salons before I finally got my color and cut done right by Ann at Hair Color Salon. When I went to see Ann I had so many bad experiences at 3 other color salons that I thought I would have to fly back to Texas to get my hair done. She did an amazing job and corrected the color that was hideous and brassy, she also gave me a beautiful soft cut ~ that was natural looking and not choppy. She did exactly what I asked for with the color. No surprises or unexpected results. I've been going to her for 4 months now and I've seen other clients walk in with horrible color from other places. No matter what they've done to your hair & color, Ann and her team can fix it! I've seen it for myself. They are professional and give you lots of personal attention. Free WiFi too! I'll never go to another salon again! I've found my perfect Hair Color Expert!

• Pros: Color, Accessibility, Centrally located, Comfortable
• Cons: None

YA HAIR DESERVES THEIR TREATMENT

by desaibaba at Citysearch

Hey guyz, I m Kunal Desai and here i m writin a review 4 Hair Colour Salon in which i first had my HAIR Straightened and then My Hair Coloured PERMANENTLY. I just found this place when i searched on internet as i was really serious 2 straighten and colour ma hair. Actually i visited many places and inquired about the rates and the quality of the work done from my different friends. out of 10 reviews i did approximately, 8 of them told me 2 go 4 Hair Colour Salon and today i feel that i've got my money worth.

All the ladies includin ANN r so comfortable with ya and simultaneously they work on ya hair so effortlessly that ya don't even feel that they r actually workin on ya hair. Also the Mastery of everybody includin ANN is awsome and the rates they take for colourin, straightenin r comparitively less than other competition in San Jose but at the same time the work done is not Halfhazard but worth ya each penny spent.

Also, one more thing i like about this place is that ya get the feelin like home once these ladies start the wrok. They r so calm and professional in their work that if ya spend 5 hours in the salon, ya'll feel like ya spend 5 mins. They talk with ya in the middle of the work but at the same time never distract from their job and that quality is the 1 which i like the best in this place. ANN specially is a Genius when it comes 2 hair colouring.

Also, this place is having good deals for regular customers like if ya recomend the place to your friends then ya can also get some discount on your next visit and likewise many other deals.

So i highly reccomend this place to the folks down there who want quality service and treatment with their hair and that too with good deals and prices.

• Pros: Excellent Craftsmanship
• Cons: Vietnamese Language Converstations Between Staff

Awesome styling

by vivekd at Citysearch

this was my first time in Bay area. So i had no idea of a good salon in the vicinity. I googled online and i could see maximum hits for this salon. First I was to skeptical but after reading the reviews I decided to go for a hair cut. Anh is one of the really very good stylists. I left it up to her to give me a good style and asked me about a particular style form the Styling book she had. And too my surprise she cut my hair almost similar to one showed in the book. Unlike other stylist, who don't bother about every detail, Anh spent lot of time for the details and texturing. I am really satisfied with my hair cut and would suggest it to other as well.

Hair Majic!

by olaolga at Citysearch

A friend of mine recommended I see Anh for a hair color consultation. I am a do-it myself person and used store bought coloring for a long time. I tried to have it done professionally, but the result was not that different from what I could do myself. Anh won my trust by providing a professional evaluation and color advise pointing out things that no other hair professional brought out. So I took a chance... I must say - it was better than I could ever imagine! Anh is worth every penny! Try her cuts too!!! Five star plus!

• Pros: Convenient location
• Cons: downtown parking

Color correctionist guru!

by ltasaki at Citysearch

I had long, rusty dark brown flat hair so thought i should be blond for the summer. I just returned back to the bay so I didn't have my colorist on hand. I ended googling color specialist and read all the great reviews about this place. I went for a consultation and Anh really knew what would be the right colors for my hair to be dark blond. During my color she really spent the extra time and hair smarts to give it its amazing color. She looked at my hair and decided to use different developers on different parts of my hair. On the roots she had used 20, mid hair 30 and bottoms 40. Then on top of that she weaved in different colors. The outcome was amazing and highly recommend Hair Color Salon to anybody that wants to have a pro who spends the time and effort to do their hair:)
