SnipSnipBuzz

I get my hair cut here by Carol every two to three weeks. She is great, sweet, friendly, listens carefully and has the sort of anal-​retentive attention to detail you want in a barber.
For $ 19 it is a bargain.

Expert Men’s Haircuts. Reasonable Price. Convenient Location. Excellent Service. Welcoming and Friendly:
After moving to Palm Springs and first trying several other places my partner and I are grateful to have found Sylvia and SnipSnipBuzz. Now regular customers we both get our haircut every two weeks. He is very particular about his hair and keeps it short on top, shaved at the ears and neckline and blended on the sides and in back. He knows exactly what he wants and wants it done in a certain way — obsessing over exact lengths and precision lines. I’m the opposite. The type who just sits down in the chair and says please make me look good. My last haircut Sylvia gave me a regulation low, left extra-​long on top (custom cut for my face and type of hair). It’s something I would never have known to ask for and I couldn’t be happier. Sylvia’s experience and skill, combined with personal insight and exceptional customer service, ensures that my partner and I both get what we want and always end up satisfied. It also gives us the confidence to make referrals. Living in Palm Springs, we frequently have visitors and they often want to get a haircut while they are here. We’ve referred three guests to Sylvia in recent months. All three were happy and all three said they will go back to her whenever they are in town. Sylvia’s expertise and professionalism have earned our business and our trust. We will continue to refer our family and friends.
[We are excited for Jennifer to start cutting hair. With both professional training and apprenticeship, natural charm and a talent for customer service, we have no doubt she’ll be a success. We will definitely let her cut our hair.]

Consider yourself warned, I’ve had a messed up haircut a couple of years ago and I let it slide. This past weekend My husband went here to have his faux-​hawk trimmed up. The lady proceeded to scalp him and only leave a little pile of hair at the very front of his head. She apologized and said «oh you wanted to keep the back?». He paid for the haircut and when I saw it I was furious. Where’s the communication? The talent? The professionalism? I called and ask for a refund, she said «she didn’t think so». It’s really hard to find a barber that know’s what they are doing

When the hair cutter has the worst bleached blond hair possible, you know you’re in for a bad time. Add bad service and it’s one more wasted chance at happiness. A horror show of below average.

Carol is Amazing! This was just the second time that she has cut my hair. She paid attention to detail and took her time. She even put my preferences into the computer to record what I preferred.
Again, I felt great and walked out with a great haircut!

Took my 3 rd old son there and they did a great job! I will return. (Be sure you get the right person or it’s a different experience).

Decent haircut at a reasonable price but all the video cameras and signs warning that you are being recorded weirded me out. Creepy

The guy had no clue on what he was doing. He mutilated my hair and scalp plus he was very rude. The kicker of it all is that I got charged 19 DOLLARS for a fade. Now I have to go get this mess fixed. Most EXPENSIVE, TERRIBLE and UNCOMFORTABLE haircut of my life.

9÷16÷13 Still LOVE Snip Snip Buzz!
I got my last cut at Snip Snip. After I returned home to LA from Palm Springs, my boss (a salon owner) said that my new cut was the best i’ve ever had. Snip Snip is the least expensive i’ve ever had too. I’ve paid as much as $ 150.00 for a cut in Beverly Hills. Everyone who works there has cut me and they are all great!
Though, if you know your hair doesn’t work well with a clipper cut, go to Bryan O’ Bryan.

So here’s the deal. I used to come down to PS 5 – 10 times a year. Sometimes for a tennis tournament, sometimes for business, and sometimes just to hang by my pool. A mandatory trip to my barber is usually last on my pre-​travel itinerary. I like to look as clean and neat as possible when I get into town. As luck can have it from time to time, I can’t get a appointment or I simply run out time before my plane leaves.
About 2 ½ years ago a friend recommended Snip Snip Buzz. And trust me, he’s anal! He could sit on an ice cream cone and tell you the flavor! So of course I went. I was assisted by the lovely Carol. Now I’ve been to barbers since I was a tike, but never in my life have I sat in a chair for 25 – 30 minutes for clippers! I’ll be honest, the first time Carol snipped and buzzed, I thought she might be new! Nope. And never confuse brevity with ability. Though she had 2 clients specifically waiting her, her eyes never left my head. She was communicative, funny, kind and unobtrusive all at the same time.
Needless to say, being from a metropolis like San Francisco I’m always in the hands of the most skilled barbers. But I have to admit, Carol gave me one of the most classic and well crafted cuts to date.
Work has made me a full-​time resident of Palm Springs for a year now, so I’m fortunate enough to see Carol on a monthly basis. However, up until about a year ago, I actually found myself coordinating my cuts with my travel to the desert. I recently found out I wasn’t alone, where it came to Carol and the rest of the staff! There have been times when I’ve needed a last minute cut and had forgot her schedule. Lucky for me her colleagues are equally as accommodating, and precise.
Thank you Carol! God know you have your work «cut out» for you with this head of mine. And you treat all of us like your an agent with only one client.

If you want a precision, conservative haircut at a reasonable price, this is the place!
It offers excellent hours and niceties such as a clipboard on which you can place your name, so that you don’t have to stress your turn. You may also call in to put your name on the list.
Carol did a great job! I watched someone else get a cut, and I really liked the work she did for his style. Very handsome! So I told her to do mine like his except for this and that. When she showed me the mirror, she separated out each section: How do you like the top, how do you like the sides, and how do you like the back? Then she tweaked each one!
The shop has a special requirement. You must shampoo your hair in advance; no grease, etc.
Thumbs up and no criticisms!

Walked in with no apt. Greeted by a very nice lady and I think daughter. Ask how I wanted my haircut and cut it to order. It shows she loves what she does as she take hee time and is a very precise on keeping all the lines straight in even. Does a wonderful job with a straight razor. Cost was 19 but pretty adverage for a good cut. I am NOT from the area but will definitely comeback when I am and need a clean up.

What a great find in Palm Springs. No nonsense, affordable haircuts.
Carol is my «go to» person there.
She’s got the right combination of know-​how and wonderful personality. Always a pleasure to have my hair cut there with her!

HORRIBLE!
Yes, in all caps. Snip Snip Buzz is getting known as Sh*t Sh*t Buzz.
The emotionless, gang banger lady with the long black hair is the WORST.
The back of my hair is totally uneven — the sides are terrible — I don’t even want to go back to get a refund or to have some other «barber» there fix it.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

I used to go to Snip Snip Buzz for 8 years but my barber doesn’t work there anymore. Gary was the reason I went there. Hope he comes back to work. if anyone knows where he is working now let me know.

One of the worst haircut I have ever received in my life.
He never introduced his name.(I heard someone call him Gary)
I said I wanted a fade, He said he was doing fades since the 60’s. OHH NOO
It was more like he learned how to do a fade 60 minutes ago not since the 60’s.
He also name dropped Vidal Sassoon
(my generation doesn’t even know who he is, it sounds lame and nobody cares)
Also when getting a haircut ask your client how they are.
(this business is a customer service industry be polite)
So I said to him how long you been living in desert? I think he said 8 years,
I said, «Do you like it?» he said, «I hate it».
SUPER.
He exuded a nice loser attitude.
He said he wished he was back in NY doing hair or Florida.
Well he should do the desert a favor and move back.
Here is a tip for your self as a haridresser (you are not a barber)
Introduce yourself and do not whip the chair around and start cutting & shaving with the client not being able to see what you are doing!
GREAT! it was like he ate a shit sandwich before going to work
Everyone else is skilled but he isn’t with that piss poor attitude
If you see a Gary…
DO NOT GO TO HIM

All haircuts from all of the cutters are always the same, much shorter than you ask for. Perhaps this is fine for the older bears with crew cuts, but not so good for anyone else. There are signs all over the place, almost to to point of being downright rude, about washing your hair the way the owner wants it washed. Based on his signs, I figure he is a weird pervert that sits at home watching everybody from the security cameras installed — yes security cameras in a barber shop — go figure.
Its not hard to do a simple barber shop, this place misses the mark.

I’m the type of person that it will be Friday afternoon and I feel I need a haircut. Which usually causes me frustration when I can’t get it at that moment. I walked in and all three barbers that were working looked up to greet me.
Added my name to the list, 10 minutes later I was in Don’s chair. I liked that he was conservative on his first pass with the clippers so there was room to go down shorter. Also got my beard trimmed to match the length.
I plan on going back
Don even took my contact information and made a note of the guard he used on the clippers so we don’t have to figure this out next time.

I have been going to Snip-​Snip-​Buz for the past 3 years, and nothing but great service, «Don» one of the barbers has always given me a great hair cut… Clean place, great staff…
They have also recently reduced their prices a lot. $ 11 haircut on Tuesday.

It takes me a while to find a decent barber in a new area, mostly because I’m in the Marine Corps and have to get them weekly. It’s amazing how hard it is to find someone who can do a solid military fade and is also open on Sundays, and snipsnipbuzz may be the only such shop in Palm Springs. The barber is a bit more expensive than the ones I was used to in San Diego (and certainly more so than the military-​specialty barbers near bases like Twentynine Palms), which can hurt when you are required to have a fresh one each Sunday by your command.
He does a damn good job, though, using a Norelco instead of a straight razor and doing a solid skin fade at least as good as anything I’ve ever gotten. The bottom line is, despite the price, this is pretty much my new barber shop.
And for the military folks: this is the only one in downtown Palm Springs I’ve found to be open on Sunday.
