Snip In Style

Thank you so much for a great experience, conversation, and getting some volume into my hair. Vanessa was great, as was Mary.

I called for a walk in and I believe Vanessa answered the phone. I asked if there was any chance I could get a hair cut right away, she said it would be a 25 minute wait. So I came in about 15 minutes later and she acknowledged my presence a few times while I was waiting, but I was fine, since I called so last minute. She told me another stylist, Jessica, would be walking though the door any minute. When I was in the chair, pretty much 25 minute wait on the dot, I told Jessica to please get rid of my dead ends haha. She was so gentle I was seriously about to fall asleep! When she was just about done I asked if it was too late to have a wash and dry, she said she could do a shampoo and a «basic» dry. I didn’t know what that meant, but am guessing it just meant you don’t leave with sopping wet hair, lol. The wash was amazing, she again was so gentle on my head and it was very relaxing. I was sad when it was over! My hair looks so healthy and she still left my length and threw in some layers at my request. I have very long hair BTW. Thanks Jessica!

Vanessa is the best by far. I’ve gone here several times and was really impressed, but just recently went here and was very disappointed in the haircut.
Uneven on the top and sides. I asked for a fade on the sides and a trim on the top (easy enough, right?), the lady decides to free hand the sides without putting any sort of attachment on the clippers. Didn’t look like she knew how to cut guys hair because I ended up with a haircut looking like it was cut by someone without any experience.
If you do go here and you’re a dude, choose Vanessa. She knows what looks good and makes sure your hair is actually even/​clean.

Awesome haircut. I have been going to another place and recently had to find a new place and am glad in came in here. Will definitely be coming back.

FIVE STARS!!!
My boyfriend and I have been going here for a few years now. I don’t think either of us have been disappointed once. I’m very picky with how I want my hair. Vanessa is not only a great hair stylist, but she’s an excellent hair ARTIST! I’ll come in and give a super vague description of the style and color. Sometimes I bring pictures of two totally different haircuts and explain what I like about each and she gives me something I couldn’t have even envisioned. She does a great job on men and women’s hair.
And to kind of touch on the review saying they only spoke Spanish and she felt left out. Yes, Vanessa is Mexican and so is one of the other stylists, and a lot of their customers speak Spanish too. But I’m not Mexican and don’t speak a word of Spanish and I’m fine there. Yes they speak Spanish to some clients, but they also speak perfect English. I’ve never felt the occasional Spanish speaking was a problem or inconvenience.
All in all, highly recommended for the whole family.

Relaxed, friendly, local hair and waxing salon with very good stylists. That’s what keeps me going back. Always happy with the results.

I waited for 35 minutes after calling ahead for an appointment. I showed up on time but still had to wait and the ladies working there never said how long the wait would be. I would have come back later. Roselia was nice and cut my hair just ok. But if you don’t speak Spanish, you may feel out if place as I did. All the employees and patrons spoke Spanish. I don’t mind that, but I was worried that they may not understand how I wanted my hair cut. In the end my hair wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t great either. I would not go back because I feel they are not professional. At least they only charged $ 20 for my cut. I still tipped because I always do, but I usually tip $ 10 and only gave $ 5 this time because of the wait.

Vanessa always works her Magic on my hair. She always takes her time and makes sure it’s just right. I am consistently happy with every creation she comes up with for me.

My go to place for every haircut; Vanessa, the owner, is very friendly and always does a wonderful job. Having thick hair, I’ve had bad experiences with other salons but this place, they cut it with ease and walked out of there looking like a new man. Thanks Vanessa you rock!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Vanessa. She’s been cutting my boyfriend’s hair for about five years.
Last month, after three years of having the same boring hair, I gave Vanessa a call. I wanted color. I didn’t have an exact idea in mind when going in. She gave me some great ideas and we proceeded. I am so so happy with my hair. She even stayed late to finish the look and idea we were going for.
I highly recommend Vanessa and her crew. I posted a picture of my hair after Vanessa worked her magic. And most of all, I couldn’t be happier in the finished product.

Hmmmmm something has changed. I like Vanessa but really liked Timi and now she is gone. Looks like I am going to have to find a new place again.

OK OK… Seriously Nedhani can cut hair. I asked her to take on the mission of taming the beast that is my hair. I told her I wanted a mix between Ben Afleck and Danny Devito and she killllllllllled it. My hair looks so good that so many girls are trying to get at me. It’s pretty ridiculous… not sure if it’s my cute smile but this haircut is definitely helping. Oh and you better believe I upgrade to the shampoo/​conditioner after cause I like to feel clean after a haircut. Only criticism for Nedhani is she doesn’t work on Fridays so I can’t #freshcutfriday. Goooo request her and tell her Raffy sent you. You won’t get a discount or anything but you’ll look good.
Venessa AIGHT too. She can do eyebrows… Not that I would get my eyebrows done cause what guy does that? Yeahhhh she coo.

Went back and saw a significant price increase, went from 16 to 23 for a hair cut. Dela was not there so maybe that was the difference. I will only go back if she is there.

Guys, Dela knows what she is doing. She will make you more handsome (or less hideous, she’s not God for chrissakes). Big mirrors so you can stare at yourself and wonder who your parents really are. Should be able to give her 6 stars

I hadn’t had my hair cut in over a year, because we recently moved to town and I didn’t know where to go and don’t have a babysitter. One evening I just got disgusted, and decided to go for a haircut somewhere that takes walk ins, I figured I could micromanage the cut I wanted, just in case. I called, hoping they could take me, and she had me come right over. I told her what I wanted, and she made it clear that she understood exactly what I was looking for before she started cutting. She did it perfectly, and at the end she asked if I was happy or would like the layers shorter. It would have been basically an entirely new haircut if I had wanted her to shorted the layers, but it was lovely the way it was. SO HAPPY to have found such a reasonably priced, and amazingly talented, hair stylist who can accommodate my last minute needs.

First time customer… I had Dela do my hair what an amazing job she did. I came in not knowing what hair style I wanted but I knew I wanted it short. We talked it over and it turned out PERFECT. It was great because they close at 7:00 pm and they still took me as a walk-​in at 6:00 pm. BEST PLACE IN LIVERMORE!

I just had the best haircut EVAH! Dela asked, listened, suggested, confirmed, and then gave me the perfect haircut. I do not have a complicated style, but somehow most cutters just don’t get it. Dela did, and I’ll be back. After the cut, I let her do my eyebrows and those are perfect, too!
The salon is convenient, clean, and has very comfortable shampoo sinks (Oh, yea, another thing: Dela gave a great shampoo mini scalp massage, too. Why don’t more cutters do that?) The prices are very reasonable.
What’s not to like? Five plus stars!

This was the worst experience I have ever had with a hair cut. THE WORST! I have never felt more «you get what you pay for» after going here.
For whatever reason, my mother and my aunt rave about Vanessa. So i thought I would go and give it a shot. I walked in in the morning, she was not there. The guy working the desk seemed very inconvenienced by the fact i wanted to schedule an appointment later on in the afternoon to see Vanessa.
I got there about 5 minutes before my Scheduled appointment, 20 minutes later I was FINALLY acknowledged and asked who I was waiting for… 15 more minutes and Vanessa said she was ready. First clue right? Or has their been a few by the lack of acknowledgement and the rude guy making my appointment? I should have just lest, and wanted to, and regret not going with my gut.
So I sit down in the chair, I showed Vanessa a Picture of the pixie cut i wanted. Vanessa starts making excuses, every excuse possible to get out of doing the cut I wanted. I really should have just left then. She just seemed so inconvenienced and just did not want to do it. It was very clear.
So then my mom came in, I guess she was in the area, and Vanessa and I were still discussing the hair cut I wanted. When we agreed on one, and why she just didn’t suck it up and do the one I wanted in the first place who knows, she very rudely told my mother she could go sit in the front and wait. Excuse me? Vanessa said «she is an artist at work, and does not want anyone watching her»…” Wtf? so my mom just left.
So after a little while into the hair cut, a client who had been waiting for her comes and says she is short on time, and has to go, so Vanessa wrote down her cell phone number to give to this client.
She walks back up to me saying «God, I just need to take a fucking shot of something, I am going to have to before I do my next hair color, that is the good thing about being the boss, I can take a shot whenever I want.» I kept my mouth closed. So unprofessional and rude. She goes on to tell me that She understands why salons charge more money, and she should be charging me more for this hair cut especially after losing a client for the day. Then she said «God I just need to take a shot» a few more times.
So she was done, I was still so unhappy with this half ass hair cut but at this point i just wanted to get out. I get home, shower, and to MY SURPRISE (Sarcasm) this half ass hair cut is cut SO UNEVENLY. Since then I have had to wear a hat, or pin my hair back because it is so hideous.
I think Vanessa had a few too many shots on this day.
Needless to say, I am never coming back, and WILL spend the extra money for a professional to cut my hair.

I happened onto this place a few weeks ago — I need a haircut for an interview, stat!
of course i Unilocaled and found the five star rating for this place… so — I called and am so glad I did!
cute n’ clean little place — it is nestled in the shopping center in livermore that houses «grocery outlet,» «dollar tree» and very close to «shepherds gate» and the bally’s (?) 24 hour gym?
«dela» cut my hair and she is a little doll! she did a fabulous job and lightly «layered» my hair — it still looks great weeks later! i ended up getting the job and start monday so gonna go in for a light trim today.
very reasonable price ($ 16). give it a try and ask for «dela!»”

Vanessa let me know she was opening this place a few weeks ago, and since she did so well at her last place, I was eager to try Snip in Style. I went in on a Saturday, and Dela took care of me. She works weekends. She gave me a great short haircut, with fabulous attention to detail (I have curly hair, and it’s tricky to get it all even). The wash was amazing. Dela has a very firm wash style, but her fingers themselves are soft, so I melted away.
The price was quite nice, cheaper than certain chains I could mention. And I don’t know if this is a California thing or what, but she gave me a quick ear buzz as well, without my asking. Everyone does that here. No one did back east.
I’m happy to keep my $$$ local in a place like this.
