Doan’s Hair & Spa

I had a great facial from Kathy yesterday! It was so reasonably priced that I was skeptical at first. To my surprise, it was wonderful! Kathy was professional and took her time. She also did a great job waxing my eye brows. Again, she took her time and made sure she plucked any hair that was missed. I will definitely be back!

Horrible place getting worse by the day– there is a lady, an older woman– don’t know her name– always always screws up my eyebrows, today when I saw that she was going to work on my eyebrows I should have said something but I just walked in and yet again another screw up! Worse part I decided to get facial done and the lady while doing facial used some kind of device on my cheeks and the cream went into my nose and after breathing it, it went into my throat and my throat is burning as hell!!! I asked her to stop and got up, For all that mess up she still charged me 15 dollars for the facial! Ughh! Nail in the coffin– that’s it never again ever– I hope your salon shuts down Doan!

Steer away from this place. There is better service and prices for nails at Q-​nails. I thought I would give this place another try. Probably shouldn’t have left the technician anything once she skipped the foot massage and had an attitude when I asked for shorter nails. $ 18.00 is too much to pay for half the job. Too bad, she can work her way out of a job.

Second time coming here for a simple haircut. Annie was the one who cut my hair. She cut my hair exact how I asked her to. Nothing more. She has been there for about 12 years, so she knows how to cut hair. Not sure about color. But I will be back for a trim!

If I can give ZERO STARS I would. Tammy RUINED MY HAIR. She has a very bad attitude, seemed like she wasn’t paying attention to her customers and was very stubborn when I was telling her what I wanted my hair to look like. I went to her after I saw some good reviews for her.
After she put in the highlights for my hair, I went home and all my face could register was, shock. The highlights had fried my hair and looked uneven. It didn’t give the subtle look I was going for. It was extremely vibrant on dark hair and looked fake.
I spent $ 100 just to damage my hair. I’m currently trying to fix the damage and color.
AVOID FOR HIGHLIGHTS AND HAIR COLOR!

Went back for a hair cut since they did it so well last time. However, I forgot her name so I looked up on Unilocal again and decided to try Vu. My daughter had long hair and just wanted a simple layer hair cut which shorter 3 inches. I came back after 20 minutes, and her hair was short and nasty. It was totally a disaster haircut ever. He was too busy so he didn’t even wet her hair to cut. No wash. No blow dry. No straightening. I am sure that he does not know how to cut woman hair at all. And he still took my daughter appointment anyway. I feel so so so bad for my daughter. Now her hair is so short and just a bit over the shoulder. OMG… OMG… NEVER AGAIN!!!

Worst haircut experience ever had before… Waste of time going to there, better to choose any other saloon… They dont even listen us, just they start cutting our hair what they know…

Went for a haircut here, and i could truly say it was the worse haircut experience i have even had. Not to say all the haircutters at Doan’s are bad. I have family and friends who go to Annie & she does a great job. I’m not sure of the lady’s name who did my haircut, but I truly wish i would have never let her touch my hair. At first, before she started my cutting my hair, I showed her a few pictures of what I wanted & throughout this she was how saying she couldn’t do it on my hair type, which made no sense to me.
I then told her just to just trim my hair about 3 inches & add some natural looking layers. She began cutting, and throughout the process of the haircut I was constantly asking her not to cut too much, & asking what she was doing. She has a very bad attitude, and seemed pissed. She then proceeded to tell me she’ll do a good job & not to keep worrying .So, then I stopped asking her so many questions, & let her do her job… After she was done, I was left with the most CHOPPY layers, and she pretty much cut most of hair off. I couldn’t even speak when I saw myself. When I went home I literally cried, It really sucked. My beautiful hair was trashed, i tried everything to make it look «normal» but i couldn’t even tie my hair up without it looking ridiculous. I went to work the next day, and everyone commented on how crazy my layers looked, & i felt so embarrassed.
NEVER coming back here

I’ve tried a few hair cutting salons in Fremont and have settled on this as being my go-​to place for haircuts for myself and my 4 year old son!
I take anyone who is available, and so far haven’t had a bad experience (been here about 6 – 8 times so far).

Worst hair cut ever did before, waste of going to there they not even cutted my hair what they had shown to me

Great place GREAT prices! Love everyone here. I’ve been getting my haircuts here for 5 years now and have ALWAYS gotten compliments every time. Plus their other stylists are super friendly!

Tammy’s been doing hair for over 10 years now. She’s the best hair stylist ever and very accommodating. I walk in looking like a mess and walk out feeling great. I have never had any issues in last 10 years and I will never go to any other salon. I was studying in Stockton and would drive all the way to Fremont to get my hair done, she is that good! She knows hair!!! Thank you Tammy. :)

They have really bad hair stylist. they gain ur confidence and then give you their trainee caliber style. Have been there twice and tried 2 of their stylist and was a terrible experience. She paid no attention to what I was saying, just did her own thing in minimal time. Lovina was her name.

Doan’s Hair & Spa is a full service hair, nail, and spa shop which I’ve been coming to now for a few years. The interior is very clean and has a modern feel, and all the employees here are friendly and attentive and provide good customer service. I can’t speak on behalf of the nail and spa treatments, but there’s always a very steady customer base and sometimes a long wait for these particular services from morning to night, especially in the evenings and weekends AND if you don’t have an appointment. My review is on the haircuts and my barber, Vu, who manages this family establishment.
When I first met Vu, I have to honestly say that he wasn’t the most friendliest person, LOL. He came as a recommendation to me from a close friend of mine who also frequents this shop, and I’m sure I was just another one of the hundreds of clients he sees each week. But over the years, he’s become more personable, and it’s always good to see him when I do. As he cuts my hair, we always have engaging chats about life, sports, interests, etc. and just catching up altogether in our 15 – 20 minute meeting (he’s the type that likes to chew the fat with you once he gets to know you personally which I think is a great trait). Vu has some mad skills with his cutting techniques and also styles your hair with gel, mousse, etc. very well after the fact. He clearly listens to what you want, provides suggestions, is very clean/​efficient, and will fix whatever seems awry (not short enough; don’t be afraid and just ask him to cut him more). If he ever leaves here, I will certainly follow him to his next shop!
If you’re looking for an excellent barber, try out Doan’s and ask for Vu (just make sure you get an appointment with him because he’s always booked which tells you about his popularity and demand). Oh, and if he’s not available, ask for Annie. She’s another great stylist there (very busy, too) and my backup when Vu is not around. Thanks/​kudos to Vu and the Doan’s crew! See you in a few weeks!

I was here to for my haircut and it was my first time here. And was kinda nervous, but thanks to Kathy. She did my hair as I said m really satisfied!

I went to doans for a pedicure and I was asked to wait. Wait time was 15 – 20 mins. I saw that they didn’t have anyone for pedicure and nancy who I see is the best person to get nails done was just walking round for quiet some time. She didn’t come to me till 25 min.
I was asked to pick a nail paint for myself which I wasn’t convenienced but I got one from their master collection. I asked for super blunt nail shape and nancy added extra curves and made it almost oval. When I told her to correct the shape she asked me to cut the nails for hr. Well why I there for pedicure? Beyond that when I notices dead skin in side my nails she said she can’t remove that because I will bleed. I simply rotated my finger nail under my toe nail and a big bunch of dead skin came out. Lastly I asked for a specific color nancy said she cannot find for me. I have to look for it on my own. I requested her and she bluntly refused to grab the paint. I walked across and got it by. Myself. When I brought the color she handed that color to another person and said that she will do it for me. I asked myself why am I finding nancy so perfect on Unilocal review.
I left without any comment but I am not going back. I plz urge you to visit some better place for nails. Do not waste you time here.

In summary — low cost but professional haircut. Good enough to drive 45min each way for a cut.
I’ve been coming here for several months now and while they take walk-​ins, I have begun making appointments. The stylists seem to specialize in Asian (oriental to be specific) hair types and are good to bounce ideas off of if you’re not quite sure what to do.
Doan’s shares the parking lot with several other businesses including a dumpling shop, a laundromat, and a grocery store. The lot can get crowded and it may be likely that you’ll have to park a wee bit away and walk.
When you walk in, don’t be dis-​heartened by any swarms of rude, unruly, or aggravated patrons. But after dealing with this once or twice, you’ll likely also begin to make an appointment so you can avoid it.
One final note — men’s haircuts are under $ 10. Since the cuts are so cheap, don’t be a wiener: be sure to tip the stylist more than a couple dollars. You’d be surprised how many folks I’ve seen tip $ 1 or less. You’ll see what I mean, and they know who they are.
I always leave with a solid haircut for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Doan’s.

Not pricey and not that cheap as well. You get a decent hair cut. Very patient with kids. Would be better if they have some kids chairs/​toys to entertain them while waiting or during hair cut.
TIp: Take appointments on weekends if you want to avoid the queue.

This place came recommended by a friend and I’m so glad we went. Took my 3 year old son to his first professional hair cut and they did a great job for $ 10. Called ahead 30 minutes, made the appointment and walked in and out in 10 minutes. It’s a very open airy place with nice people. This will be our spot from now on.

Annie is awesome! I had a bad haircut with no layers or style, but she was able to help me with medium static layers and rounding out the layers framing my face. I asked for side-​swept bangs and it looked great right after styling! I also asked to keep the length, and she did just that and framed all the layers nicely. I had medium length hair to my shoulders.
I was in and out in 40 minutes, wash/​cut/​style. Total was $ 25+tip! :) They are also very busy on a Saturday morning at 10am! They open at 9, but the studio was all busy and had people waiting at the front.
