MasterCuts

I’m writing from my boyfriend’s Unilocal,but Elizabeth did a great Natalie Halcro bob on me! Thanks Liz!

This review’s for Amy: I called on an early Saturday morning for an appointment, never having been to mastercuts before, and was squeezed in to an afternoon appointment for a haircut.
When I got there I told Amy that I wanted to cut a huge amount off of my hair into a long bob & showed her pictures. She totally understood and confirmed everything I wanted — even layer length. After a quick wash she started clipping and we got to chatting away. She gave just the right amount of conversation and quiet time, and in about 20 minutes was done. She had perfectly sculpted my hair on one go — taking a whole 9″ off with ease! I’ve never been to a salon where I got a perfect haircut in that amount of time. Many many many praises for Amy!
& you can’t really beat the $ 17.95 on top of her skills! Book her now!

Sandra was accommodating and nice. Good price and she was diligent to make sure the hair was even. A little shorter than I wanted but still she took her time to style and was nice.

Sandra is very good! I will recommend her to anybody. She did my hair today and I’m very happy with it.

I was in dire need of a trim and Isela did a wonderful job. She is really sweet and I highly recommend her.

Sandra is the best! She listens, makes suggestions, treats you like family. Definitely recommend her. It’s best to make an appointment ahead instead of walking in as she is extremely booked in advance.

I have to give 5 stars to Sandra. She did an amazing job on my hair, giving me layers but with long pieces in front that frame my face. The effect is a soft A line cut that won’t grow out to look weird in a few months. I liked that Sandra listened to what I wanted and didn’t try to talk me out of anything, even though it seemed weird at the time.
To top it off, the hair cut was only $ 17.95! I’ve been to the more popular hair salons in the SGV (I searched for hair salons in 91 775 on Unilocal) that cost over $ 50, and this place is just as good, if not better.
The only con would be that my appointment was for 7pm, but I had to wait 30 because the previous client decided she wanted her hair blow dried. The salon takes a lot of walk ins, so you may have to wait a bit.
Shampoo is free, blow dry costs extra.
This is a no frills place that produces great results. I highly recommend it.

Sandra is so sweet and amazing! She was did an awesome job on my hair.

I made an appointment and I talked to christina about getting either balyage highIights or just ombré. She reassured me that they cared about the integrity of their customer’s hair and educated us at the same time and my hair dresser will give me the advice I needed to make this decision.
I have to say that I am really disappointed. I ended up wanting an ombré hairstyle and my hair was dyed all the way up… except for my roots. The ombré was for the bottom and i even showed a picture… It was nothing like I wanted… My whole head was orange with dark brown roots. I will post the picture. Idk if it was the lighting in the room, but once I got home, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw it! It was a complete disaster. I had to dye my own hair bc it was embarrassing. Not only was my hair orange but it felt so damaged assuming how much time the bleach was on my hair… Isela kept on reassuring me that my hair was nice but it wasn’t… It really wasn’t… She did say if I didn’t like the color and if it was too light, I could come back but I was just so mad and disappointed…

Great service! Some stylists tend to do whatever they feel is best for you, but Nadine listened to what I wanted and what I didn’t want. As a result, my hair color came out exactly how I wanted it. I will definitely return!

I used to go the Master cuts in West Covina for years and then my regular stylist left. I have two other reviews for the places I went to who decided to give me choppy short layers (two different stylists at different salons) I hadn’t allowed anyone to touch my hair in 4 months after the last choppy layers incident left me traumatized. I was in dire need of a trim so I decided to go to the trusty old Master cuts. I called and Miriam made me an appt for that day Friday at 5p.
I walked in and there were just two people working on a Friday night. She greeted me and I waited ages minutes until she finished up her client. She took me to the chair washed my hair and she was very personable. I explained to her my dilemma with stylists going layer crazy and she did just as I asked, a trim no layers and that’s what I got.
The reason I gave it just a 4star is because I don’t think corporate or management staffs this place accordingly. I felt bad that the time I sat there Miriam was both stylist and receptionist. The thing that bothered me was that since they have just two stylists on a busy Friday, they are turning away potential income and repeat customers.
I hope corporate reads this and acknowledges the money they are turning away and the stress this may cause their stylist. I wasn’t in a hurry but it could be an inconvenience when your stylist had to stop your service to tend to walk in customers and a ringing phone.
Get with the program Master cuts.
I will be going back to Miriam. She didn’t give me layers. ;)

In June 2014 I got my hair done at a salon I have gone to two others times prior. I had a cut and color and highlights done. I was being way overcharged and didn’t really catch on until the third time. So I then began a hunt for a new hair stylist/​salon. The struggle was real! No one caught my eye!!! Until January 2015 I was shopping in the Santa Anita mall and I noticed a blonde hair stylist and she caught my eye because of how nicely her hair was done. I watched for a minute and then carried on.
A few weeks later I ended up at the mall again an yet again she caught my eye so I decided to go in for a consultation!!! Her name is Amy. She was so sweet from the second I walked in! She was the only one who greeted me which won me over even more. I booked an appointment with her for a week later.
That brings us to today! To make the rest sweet she made me walk out feeling so beautiful!!! She did a beautiful cut, color and highlight!!! Beyond reasonably priced too!!! Throughout the whole process she was explaining each step to me to make sure I knew what exactly was about to happen to my hair! Amy has won me over and I will continue going to her!!!

Christina is awesome!!! I’ve been to other salons and they either are not up to the trends that are out there or they have a sour attitude. Walk ins are fine but it’s better to make an appointment.

I’ve been coming here for 8 years now. Yes you read that correctly… from middle school all the way ’till college.
I remember the reason why I came in was because I was shopping for a dress and my mom said I needed a hair cut but I didn’t want to go all the way to West Covina to get my hair cut…
See the thing is, is that I’m Spanish and Asian so I have very thick hair BUT my strands of hair are very thin… so although it looks healthy my hair will fall out.
The only person who can make my hair as amazing as it is, is Sandra. She has been my stylist since day one and I will not let anybody and I mean ANYBODY touch my hair. She is the only person who will ever cut my hair and style it and wherever she goes I will follow her… that’s how amazing she is.
It’s come to a point where I don’t tell Sandra what I want. I let her choose for me because I trust her so much. What’s so great about her is that she knows exactly how to bring out the best features of your face and she knows exactly what style is for you.
Sandra is hands down amazing and I would highly recommend everyone to go to Sandra!

I was returning something so decided to save the trip and try getting my hair cut. I’ve tried many places but this is the only place I’d want to come back to.
Amy did my hair. I didn’t really know what I wanted but Amy was very patient with me. She did a fantastic job. The length was good, I didn’t get my hair chopped off. I love the layers she put in my hair. It fits the shape of my face.
$ 17.95 for women’s haircut
$ 17 for wash and blow-​dry/​styled

Ever since my previous hairdresser left… I been coming here and I would recommend Christina to anybody looking for an amazing hairdresser… very convenient since I don’t live far from there… my mom is going to start going there… been getting cut and highlight when I go there and there aren’t enough words to describe how amazing and wonderful Christina is! I would recommwnt to my friends and family anytime!!! I usually have a hard time transitioning to a different person but now I only let Christina do my hair and no one else!!! Christina is the BEST!!!

Miriam did an awesome job with my hair cut. Even though they are busy I’ve always been happy with the service she has provided to me.

Sandra is amazing! I’ve been going to her since high school and the way she cuts hair is like no other, she has a grace about her when cutting that I’ve never experienced in any other stylist. You are the best Sandra!

If you’re looking for something more than a simple haircut, you shouldn’t be going to a place charging less than $ 20 bucks. But if you ARE looking for simplicity, Mastercut will do it for $ 17.95.
I wouldn’t settle for this cheap of a haircut if I wanted something more than the typical. Which is exactly why I’ve come here for the past 4 years or so for haircuts. I don’t really do anything special because I like my hair long and simple. I walk in there, I put my name on the list. If the wait is long, I walk around the mall (which the shop is in) and come back 10 minutes before the time they tell me. Ladies are always super chill and friendly. I always get a trim, more layers, cut my fringe, thin out the hair, boom. And they never do that thing where they cut more hair than I want them too. Done. Simple, easy, and cheap. I walk out a happy customer with nicer smelling hair because they put whatever product they put into my hair before they blow dry it.

Had my hair done by CHAN! Hes awesome.
I emailed him pictures of the type of ombré hair I wanted and made an appointment for the following weekend.
I was totally satisfied with my hair and service provided by Chan. He’s professional, friendly and he made sure I was comfortable during the couple of hours I was sitting down waiting for my hair color to lift (I was going from black hair to a brown ombré and that process took a while).
I personally give CHAN 5 stars. I give the salon, as a whole, 3 – 4 stars because it is small, always busy and the other stylist didn’t look friendly at alllll. lol.
I suggest you call and make an appointment with Chan :)
