Venus Hair Salon

I love love love this place!!! I’m very very picky and I’m very protective of my hair, but when I come here I never have to worry about anything!!! I’ve been coming here for the past 10 years and not one day have I ever regret it. Especially, the owner/​manager, she is so nice and friendly. I’ve read the other reviews and I’m sooooo shocked, because everything they have written about that place has been untrue and false!!! Ahlam is very professional with 25+ years experience. She is amazing with her work wether it’s a hair cut, color, chemical straightening, blow dry, Updo styles, highlights, or what ever else you want for hair needs, she is the best! There has been sometimes when I tried to call last minutes to get work done on my hair, but because they are sooooo good they were busy and couldn’t squeeze me into their schedule and I believe that is my fault because I should’ve called ahead of time especially knowing how busy they are and everyone likes going there because they are very professional at what they do. So I tried to go to other SALONS in the area, and I’ve regret it every time! Never making that mistake everrrrr again. I’m never changing this place and I’ll be making sure to make appointments ahead of time to insure that they’ll be taking me. This has been the only place where they didn’t chop my hair off or burnt it with chemicals. Btw, if they are racist like what the other reviews have stated, why would this place accommodate other religions that don’t show their hair? Because this place has a special area for them with a very nice curtain that secludes them from the rest of the salon and gives them privacy! Love this place!!! All my friends and family and I recommend it for all hair work needs to everyone we know. Also, they do amazing and very clean threading job! Very very clean place and friendly environment!!! I would like to think, sadly, the people that left the negative reviews were just having a bad day and took it out on the wrong people, so they ended up writing a negative and false reviews about a very awesome place and amazing people!!!

I read the reviews Of other people and it makes me laugh. These people are very nice and very sweet. They ask u what u want done. Ahlam cuts the hair so nicely and she takes her time she’s professional doing this for more than 20 years. Wafa she’s the best with the eyebrows. I love this place and would not change it for a but. It’s a lie they ask u for your religious beliefs !!! That’s nuts !!! They’re Christian and the welcome everyone regardless of their beliefs .
I highly recommend this place.

2 stars, here’s why: 1. I was quoted $ 45 – 50 for a single an all over color (even after I explained to the owner that I had thick, shoulder length hair) and was charged $ 60. 2. Was charged another $ 25 for blow dry– isn’t it standard to WASH the color out then DRY the hair? If not, tell people you charge for that too. 3. The colorist didn’t put Vaseline or anything on my skin to protect it from being stained from the dye. 4. The sinks were right up against a wall which was stained from color. Trust the Unilocal reviews. I should have.

Okay, this is my update. I did say I wont be back, ever, but my new hairstylist was away on vacation, and I desperately need a blow dry. Went to this salon, and wow, I was shocked. The place inside is updated, and the fixtures are nice and pleasant. This time, I waited 5 min. Massive improvement. (haha) I gave a there star b/​c there have been changes, and I like to give chances to people to prove me they have changed. So, yes, it looks nice, it’s clean, but I don’t know the wait time. Not sure b/​c I haven’t been there in a long time.

I went and try it for the first time, I had my hair cut and did my eyebrows. The hair cut was a horrible experience, after washing my hair I got my hair brushed and they didn’t care about the tangles and brushed my hair energetically. Then they told me the manager will cut my hair, and left me waiting for a while, cause the manager was talking to some friends. Finally when she finished, she stood up and some how friendly, she asked me what I wanted and cut my hair for 10 min and that’s it, she was done. I was surprised and thought maybe she has so much experience and she works fast…
Then I had my eyebrows done, and it was totally a different experience, the girl was super nice and did a great job.
The next day I realized the haircut was horrible, she barely did something. :/​
Briefly: Great place for eyebrows, not the place for a haircut (specially if its the manager)

All 5 stars are for Wafaa.
I went to Venus one time 3 years ago and didn’t like their customer service at all. However, a friend of mine recommended Wafaa for threading hair removal. Wafaa is super nice and very professional in threading (no pain at all which is AMAZING).
She also cut my hair and blow dry it last week and yes she deserves more than 5 stars for the elegant and amazing job she did.
Thank you Wafaa! Because of you I’ll be back more and more. :)

I have been going here every month for the past 1.5 years. Sammy is my barber and he does an amazing job, but I can see that all of these guys are really good at what they do. If you are looking for a barber that will really take their time to do your haircut, and give you a salon treatment (if you want) this is the place to go. I go here get my hair done, get a shave, get my hair washed, get my eyebrows threaded, and sometimes even get a face massage, for the same price I would get my hair cut at a super cuts, and they really care about doing their work right. I can only speak for the men’s side of the salon though.

I love this salon everybody is treats me like family. I had never been to salon before Venus Hair Salon; so I would have to say I am very impressed. Ahlam (the owner) is very professional with her work as well as the rest of the staff. I love the results of my hair, soft and sexy. I go home and try to work the blow dryer myself, but it never seems like the way they do it at Venus Hair Salon. It lasts me a whole week just flip shake and I am ready to go. I have received so many compliments on my hair and my advice is always the same… you just have to go and try for yourself.

The customer service here sucks so bad … It’s not even funny. I came here once about 5 years ago to get my hair done for prom. They did an okay job, besides the fact my whole hair/​head was stiff as a board because of the gallon of hairspray I got sprayed with, any who I got tired of going to places that wax because my skin is sensitive and I wanted to do the eyebrow threading.
I had done it before but this place was more convenient since I’m in El Cajon, in a nut shell though. I will most definitely not be returning and encourage any friend I have not to go. The customer service here is ridiculously horrible. I do not know how a place like this is still running. Not only did I have to wait about 45 minutes WITH AN APPOINTMENT, (it wasn’t even a weekend) but after she was done she looked at me waiting for a tip. I did like the way my eyebrows came out but it’s not worth the way I was treated. Thanks but no thanks.

The customer service here is one of the worst. I came right as it opened and the lady whoever she was, she looked maybe early twenties told me rudely to come after 3pm. I asked her if she could do my eyebrows real quick since there was no one in the salon waiting and she rudely said no. I asked if there was an earlier time I could come and she said 2pm this time. Then I said okay never mind thank you and left. I wouldn’t have had an issue with the fact I didnt make an appointment but my problem was with the way she talked to me.
If you have great work but your customer service is horrible that is the deal breaker for me. I do not recommend this place as far as the way they treat customers.
And the other thing is my mom had come before to get her eyebrows threaded and they pinched her eyelid and made her bleed on top of having her wait almost 25 minutes (with an appointment) before she was helped. I came to try and give it a try. Never again.
I say if you want GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GREAT WORK, go to parkway plaza. It’s $ 10 for eyebrow threading by this brow salon near walmarts entrance and this Indian lady, I think her name was either Bina, or Mina, she did an amazing job and was incredibly nice. Way better than the rude ppl on Main Street.

I’ve been coming to this salon for many years & I’ve experienced nothing but excellent customer service. The staff actually cares if you’re satisfied with the service that is provided because they understand the results of a customer returning when satisfaction exists. They are focused and driven with the task at hand to ensure that the customer is happy before they walk out the door.
I make an appointment to get my hair blown once a week and I am taken right on time. At the same time if I make an appointment for an up-​do or style on the weekends for an event I’m also taken on time with an amazing finished look. I constantly receive compliments every time I walk out of this salon whether it is a simple or extravagant look.
This salon is unique in many ways. One way is they cater to wedding and any special events services on the weekends so really unless you have an appointment yes it is very busy on the weekends. So I recommend if you need to come in on a weekend definitely make an appointment in advance to assure your spot. In addition, this is a multicultural salon so of-​course many ethnicity do walk in & out daily therefore many languages are spoken & the staff takes pride that their salon can service to many & even speak the different languages at that. It is amazing to see such talent all in one place. Whether it is makeup, threading, facials, colors, cuts, up-do’s, blow-​outs and much more you can find it all here in one spot.
Thank you for your continuous excellent customer service and keep up the amazing work that all of you do so well & unique in your own ways.

The staff did a great job. I was super impressed, especially since I’m usually nervous to try new places out when it comes to my hair.
I needed a trim to freshen up and change my look. I called the salon early the same day I went in. They got me in the same day, which I wasn’t expecting — they are super accommodating.
I was in and out of there within 50 minutes. The staff did a good job listening and clarifying what I wanted, but was also personable and efficient. The blow dry was absolutely wonderful and I got many compliments from my friends that evening and even the next day after. The shampoo was very relaxing and comfortable unlike most salons I’ve been… and the girl was polite and super friendly.
The salon has a very nice atmosphere … The men and women’s sections are separated which makes it very nice and private for anyone who feels uncomfortable especially. I LOVE this aspect of the salon.
I saw many women getting their hair styled as I was at the salon and I was blow away. Their hair styles were absolutely stunning and very elegant, I can’t say I have seen these styles done by many hair professionals.
My hair ended up healthier, and exactly how I wanted. I definitely plan on going back!

A friend of mine had been to this place and recommended that I try it out too. I needed a haircut and blow-​dry for an event in a couple of days, so I decided to see this place for myself. After giving them a call, they were very friendly on the phone and told me to come on in.
I usually can’t stand when salons are designed so tightly that you feel like you are rubbing elbows with the person next to you. Venus Hair Salon had ample room and their facility was very well kept.
The cleanliness of the salon was not the only thing that was appealing about this place. The owner and staff were so kind and accommodating! From the moment I walked in to when I finished, they were super friendly to me.
I have a feeling that some other people giving negative ratings might be from nearby competing salons, because the experience I had was the complete opposite. The prices here were reasonable and the service was excellent, not to mention I looooved how my hair turned out when I left. I would definitely recommend Venus to others.

I get my brows threaded here and like them. They are also very good at elegant hair styles. Like any hair salon that gets really busy I suggest you always have an appointment. Women book months in advance sometimes. They do makeup as well and I have seen a lot of happy women come out of the salon. Def suggest for threading and hairstyling.

The worse Hair cut salon for women ever, they care about one thing, ask you about your religion and believes, and trying to mock about it.
Too expensive compared to other shops
NOT RECOMMENDED
