Great Cuts

Okay, let me begin by saying that I think Tiffany has mad skills! here it is… the big old BUT… I had made an appt to make sure that I was seen in a timely fashion. I show up 10 min early and she is in the middle of someones hair and says there is one before me. I mention my appt and she says she understands, but it is hard to be precise because every customer is different. So I say how long? and she say 20 minute. @!)#@ So, for my appt that I arrived early for I had to wait an additional 20 minutes… for a whopping total of 30 minutes!!! Now I understand walk in traffic, but HELLO! I had an appt. I waited, got my cut and left. A few months later, I made the mistake of giving good old TIffany another try. AGAIN, made an appt and showed up this time 15 MIN early! I walk in and she has someone in the chair, cool. I ask how long and she says one before you honey. and I remind her that I have an appt and perhaps she should have mentioned it to the walk in customer. OF COURSE NOT! I ask how long? 30 minutes! I walked out. So go here at your own risk as they have no concept of customer service or loyalty. And chances are I will find someone just as good or not better in a 1 mile radius.

Needed to find a last minute haircut place so we came here. Very clean, quite, and friendly to come to.

Eh I don’t know if I came in on the wrong day or wrong time, because I obviously did not find this place to be 5 stars like all the other Unilocalers. I came in on a Sunday afternoon, around 1pm. There’s 2 barbers working, one being Vinh, and the other I assume is Tiffany based on reviews. The thing about this location is that it is on the super crowded part of Tully where there are a tons of traffic, so getting to the tiny plaza can take some time even if you live super close to it. By the way, it is in the plaza next to the McDonald’s, if you need help finding it.
Plus one star for having the air conditioner on. A lot of Vietnamese barbers/​salons that I’ve been to don’t have AC, so it is nice to feel the breeze, especially in this burning weather.
Coming in at 1pm on a Sunday, there were 2 guys in line, which is normal, and waited around half an hour before Vinh asked me to go get my haircut. He asked how I want it, and I told him what I am looking for (a side comb over/​pushed up front/​line fade/​zero on the side). While he was very focused and dedicated on shaving/​fading the sides, he pretty much ignored what I asked for about the top. He made it very short and straight so the comb over shape is not even present anymore. He did not do a line for the side, and a sloppy/​not clean line for the front. He also did a very, very, bad job cleaning me, you know how most barbers will use a towel and blowdryer to clean hair off your head/​face? He pretty much just half-​assedly wiped me with a towel, aimed the blow dryer at me for less than 5 seconds, then told me it is done.
This place charges $ 10 for haircuts for men, not including tips. Just on Tully Rd itself there’s other places that charges less, but I don’t know how good they are, but I might as well go visit next time since I really do not feel that I would come back here again, even if it has AC.
The place is located in a plaza with the Domino’s Pizza, but it shares a pretty small lot.
The search for a solid barber in San Jose continues.

I’ve never felt the need to create a Unilocal account but my experience here was so bad I jist felt that I needed to write one. I came here for a hair dye and highlight because of the reviews I read. I showed the owner the picture of what I wanted which was clearly a nice shade of purple. I asked if she could do it and she said «yes yes no problem!» It was a total lie since it came out to be an ugly shade of brown. When I asked her to fix it she said I’d have to come back another time. Which then I said I wasn’t going to pay for bad service but she started screaming so I just gave her the $ 90 just to shut her up. The people here also didn’t think I was Vietnamese. They talked smack about me and the other customers pretty badly. I don’t recommend this place. Definitely the worst experience I’ve had.

Tiffany did a great job coloring and styling my hair. It was my first time there and I highly recommend this place!

Tiffany is one of those rare hair stylist that actually cares about your hair and takes the time to make it come out great. I think thats why this is called Great cuts: P … A good chat, and a sweet fade. I told her i like my hair combed to the side and she actually massaged my scalp with a brush and a blow dryer to shape my hair. On top of it, i barely got any hair on my clothes because it wasnt rushed and sloppy. The guy here is fantastic as well. Tried both of em and they both took their time on my hair. Other places like the $ 6 haircut salons rush you out like you’re on an assembly line.
Come here for your hair needs guys

Simple, affordable, and consistent.
These are the criteria for any place I’m looking to get my haircut, and Great Cuts fits the bill. Sitting in one of the many small plazas along Tully Rd., the location is easy to miss, but once you’ve been there, it’s hard to look elsewhere. I think I’ve gotten my hair cut by all of their barbers at least once, and I’ve yet to be disappointed.
If you’ve still got an open book for a new place to try out, look no further than Great Cuts! Cheers.

This place is a hidden gem! The prices are reasonable and the service is great. The workers there are not pushy like other salons are.
I had an appointment with Tiffany. She’s amazing! She’s also a sweetheart. I came in looking to get my hair colored lighter and was a little hesitant at first because of the location and fewer reviews than most on Unilocal,but I am beyond pleased with the results.
Although i don’t have any comments with their hair cut expertise, there were a lot of male customers going in and out while I was there. That must be a good sign!
Service is quick but still good results, they are attentive, and it’s reasonably priced. This place is a must!

Three words to know first: Ask for Tiffany.
Been going here for over 6+ years so y’all can hold me liable! Call ahead of time to schedule an appointment because she’s usually booked through out the day. Wouldn’t recommend a walk in because you would have to wait awhile since she takes her time with haircuts (texturizing, chopping, and what else.?). She really takes the time to understand exactly what you want and she for sure knows what she’s doing. Not sure about men hair cut rates, but for women medium it is $ 18 and $ 25 for long.
There are two other barbers, but they don’t have as any customers compared to Tiffany.
Been satisfied with every visit so I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a new go to hair salon.

Time for an update.
Yes, I am still coming here.
I love them and they’ve been great to me from the start.
Over the years. they’ve become great stylist and great with my eyebrows.
They still take their time and perfect each brow.
They know my mother, my hubby, and gotten to learn about my newborn. it’s just so crazy how many years i’ve been coming here. I’m sure my baby will have her first haircut here once she grows some hair!

I’ve been getting haircuts by Tiffany since I was in high school. That was 12 years ago… still go there every time to get my haircut. She’s probably the best stylist in the bay area! Honest and does a great job and is consistent. I like to support this place and tell all my friends about this gem. Keep doing what you’re doing! Cheers–

I’ve been going to this place for quite a while now. I typically go to Vinh, but I tried Tiffany this time. She is AMAZING. Quite honestly the best haircut I’ve ever had. Vinh was very good too, but I will definitely go to Tiffany from now on. I would recommend getting an appointment ahead of time as it can be very busy in the evening hours. $ 10 for guys.

Having the right cut (fade) means a lot to me and this place consistently gets it right. They take the time to make quality a priority.

I have been getting my haircut from Tiffany for about 6 or 7 years! She actually does my families hair! She’s great so I honestly don’t know what you Unilocalers are saying when you say it’s bad ! Not once has she screwed up on my hair I actually won’t let noone but great cuts specifically Tiffany touch my hair and my family drive down from Fremont just to get their hair done but of you do come here I highly recommend you to ask for Tiffany!

Outstanding service, handsome haircuts for me and my 3 yr old son, and a very highly skilled and personable stylists. Been coming here for the past 12 years and according to the owner/​stylist, she’s been cutting/​styling hair for 20+ yrs. Now that’s experience! Great prices, Great stylists, and most of all, Great Cuts:)

This review is long overdue. I’ve been coming here for almost 10 years and always see Tiffany. She takes her time even when they are busy, so I never feel rushed. I usually call ahead to make sure she’s available and bring a picture if I want to change my hairstyle. She gets it right every time. I’ve recently started taking my son here and Vinh usually cuts his hair. He does a good job. I moved away but I still come here because it’s so hard to find someone who you trust and does a great job. Plus, they are inexpensive. If Tiffany moved to a high end salon, I’d follow her!
Hair cut $ 18 – 20 (my hair is thick and goes down to the middle of my back)
Kids $ 8

Wonderful service and clean environment. We normally look for the same young Vietnamese woman all the time but she does a really good job on our 2.5 year olds haircut everytime despite him being very difficult. They always do a great job for a fraction of the costs of other places. In addition with a difficult kid like ours — they are fast and have never cut him like other places.

This is the 3^rd time this has happened, so I’m forced to type up another review.
I come in with both of my boys. I personally like to get my haircut by Vinh (the guy), but all three of us are ‘forced’ to wait for him. Others who come in after us get priority.
So our wait time increases exponentially, and we’re told that they are busy. Mind you, I’ve been coming here for almost 12 years, but this last experience has broken the camels back. I’ll be looking for another barber.
They’re clean, cost is good, but this is not acceptable customer service.

I have been going to Great cuts about a year now & couldn’t be happier with their service.
Tiffiny’s sister, Lynn cuts my hair & my Wife’s hair. My Wife also has her hair done with highlights. She loves the way they pamper her.
Prices are very good & it’s very clean inside.
Take my word for it Stop going to over priced shops — it’s a waste of money.
Great cuts — great price

My boyfriend has been going here for his haircuts since, i think, even before middle school. He’d ride his bike here from home.
He only likes to get his haircut from Tiffany.
I decided to go here to get my hair done as well and they’re great!
Tiffany is really nice, and really tries to do her best at fixing up your hair.
I’m not too sure about everyone else who works there.
Prices are decent.
There can be a wait for Tiffany at times, so I suggest going earlier in the day if you can.
They close at 7pm and Tiffany isn’t there from Sunday — Tuesday.
Tip: Park in the McDonald’s parking lot next door because it’s such a hassle to take a left out of the Great Cuts parking lot.
