Eve Hair Salon

I first stumbled upon this place in 2008. I have been going here to get my hair cut ever since. I tried to get my hair cut at a few places near where I live in SF, and I regret those convenience-​based decisions.
This is not a place that’s «hip» and «popping» like some places in LA with fancy architectural décor and lighting, but who really cares? All I care about is being happy with my hair getting cut the way I want. It does help that the owner is very nice and pleasant.
Con: I’ve heard cars get broken into in this parking lot infrequently. Just make sure you don’t leave valuables in your car.

I love getting my hair cut and perm here. I love the ladies at the salon. They are so friendly: D!
My perm lasts me about a year (which is a long time. Plus, they stay curly even though I come every 4 – 5 months for a trim), and it’s super easy to take care of.
I always come here for my hair, I really cannot think of a better place to go to get my hair done.

Eve Hair Salon is wonderful — very good hair cuts for a very reasonable price (I’ve paid over $ 100 for a cut not nearly as good as one at Eve Hair Salon). Unlike other salons, Eve is full service, too — with color and perm options. Love the service and love the results.

I’ve been with this shop for 13years now and I can’t believe I don’t have a review done! This place is great! I mean like I said 13 years which is half of my life time :) She is great at what she does and affordable unlike so many places around here. She is very skilled and definitely knows how to take care of your hair :)

I have been here 3 times now and I have been more than content with the results. I’ve gotten a faux hawk every single time and I have never been disappointed. It’s a little on the expensive side though, but definitely worth the cost. Don’t hesitate to come through this salon!

How I rate is fairly simple, if I like the service and like the results, they get a 5 star review.
That being said, I am also quite a picky person when coming to my hair. I discovered Eve’s when I happened to be in the area and spontaneously wanted to get a haircut. They were able to squeeze me in and Eve (the owner) was friendly and did an awesome job.
Since then I always get my haircut at Eve’s and since I spend a lot of time in the Cupertino area, I drive from San Francisco to get my hair cut by her. I never had an issue with my hair being washed and I always leave this place satisfied.

Best haircut i’ve gotten in America period! i’ve been around, cut in 5 different around san jose and this is the best period!

Not the fanciest salon in town, not the best customer services. Ended up waiting 30 minutes beyond my appointment time. However, for $ 35 I got the hair cut I wanted. She listened to my needs and delivered accordingly. Very happy with the result. Disclaimer… i have long permed hair. Given that I just cut off the length and asked her to trim my existing haircut, it was pretty hard to screw it up. If you are looking for a stylish haircut, this is probably not the place to go.

I love the owner who does my hair here! I feel like she is my aunt or something lol I will admit that I do not like her assistant touching my hair unless it is to wash/​dry but I trust the owner 100% when it comes to my hair. She is honest, very fairly priced and now 3 of my coworkers consistently go to her to get their hair done :)

WARNING! DO NOT get your hair cut here! I was referred here by a coworker who had a cute cut & perm done. I gave them one star because the lady (whose name I can’t remember) was nice but did a terrible job cutting my hair. I went in and needed a trim. My layers had grown out in to a «V» shape in the back. I told the lady to straighten my hair in the back and get rid of the «V» shape layers. Instead she did the exact opposite. She cut my hair shorter in to a «V» shape. Maybe there was a miscommunication because her English was «not-​so-​good» and that there may have been some thing lost in translation. I was so upset and NEVER WENT back.

Horrible, horrible place. I’ve had a lot of haircuts in my life so far, and this is by far one of the worst ones. I have a bad habit of liking to try new places, so I looked up this place on Unilocal and thought even though there’s a few reviews, they are fairly positive. It’s close to where I live, so why not? I could not have been more wrong…
Reasons why I rated 1 star:
1.) They can’t speak English. This is fine if they try and are patient, but they aren’t.
2.) When I said I came here for my appointment, the first thing she said was «Did you wash your hair?» I had a confused look, and I asked because I thought it was included in the price. When I asked, she just repeated «Did you wash your hair TODAY, THIS MORNING?» It was in a pretty rude tone.
3.) It was the roughest shampooing I’ve ever had. She was pulling and tugging at my head, and the water she used was kind of cold. She never asked me about the water temperature, which everywhere else does.
4.) She didn’t condition my hair. She stopped right after shampooing, which I thought was the weirdest thing. I thought it was standard to shampoo and condition your hair at salons.
5.) Another lady came to cut it, and wasn’t really listening to me when I was trying to explain what type of hairstyle I wanted. The bangs were the worst part. She asked if i wanted to cut the bangs, and I said «yes, a little». She proceeded to hack off 1 inch or so. It looks like something a 5 year old would do on accident.
6.) After the haircut was done, the first lady came back to blow dry my hair. Again, it was insanely rough. She was pulling on my hair really hard, and burning my scalp with the blow dryer. She had my hair under the brush and the blow dryer directly on top, then pulled through. It really hurt my scalp and it’s also bad for the hair. It was so painful that I had to ask her to stop early on.
7.) I can’t believe I had to pay to get abused.
I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not Korean so they treated me like this, but I really had a slightly traumatic experience. I don’t understand how they could be open for 15 years, because they seem so unprofessional and rude.
If you’re looking for a nearby place to get a haircut and feel pampered, head on over to Park Jun’s Beauty Lab. I should have gone back there since I loved it so much. People are nice, and the Jeff knows what he’s doing.

Now I know why there are so little reviews for this place. I would not be going back to this place again. I have long straight hair and just wanted a trim and layers in the front. I showed her a bunch of photos I had on my iphone so she got a general understanding of what haircut I wanted. First, I did not get my hair washed. She didn’t even asked if I wanted a wash. She only sprayed it wet. Second, she didn’t put enough layers. I came out of the salon as though nothing has been done to my hair. Third, she charged me $ 35 without the wash. $ 35 for a simple hair cut. I could’ve gone to Supercuts for half that price. I have Asian hair and I don’t understand why Asian ladies can’t cut Asian hair correctly! The best hairstylist I’ve ever had was this gay asian guy but he moved away and I can’t find him.

I’m Korean — so I like to get my haircut by skilled and no-​nonsense Korean ladies (who are also Korean moms) who know Korean hair. Someone I can go to and say, «I would like a trim and layers» and get exactly the «trim and layers» I was looking for for $ 35. This is what I got today at Eve. I’m sure if I was feeling like bangs and asked for bangs, I would get exactly the bangs I had in mind too. (We’ll save that for next time.) I didn’t know I could find such a place outside of my hometown in SoCal/​LA. So glad to have found Eve and this homey, neighborhood salon so I won’t have to wait to get haircuts until I go home to SoCal. I will definitely be going back.

Yesterday I had a spontaneous moment. My previous go-​to place needed an appointment so it left me with no choice but to search for a new place. I’ve always passed by Eve because of the Korean restaurants in the same plaza but never thought I would cut my hair there.
Read the review and made the call.
There were two ladies and since I didn’t get their names I’ll call one Boss and Assistant (?) Assistant was doing the wash and blow dry. Boss was going at it cutting hair. Seemed busy for a Friday evening.
There are 2 reasons why I had to write a review about her.
She knows what she’s doing and she knows what she’s talking about. Layering and bangs.
I’ve gone to about 3 – 4 hair salons in Santa Clara and the two things I was most frustrated about was the outcome in layering and bangs. I have high cheek bones so I want my hair to fall in a way that does not enhance them. She listened and immediately said,” I’ll start layering from your jawline and down. «Worked beautifully for me. She listens and does it.
I hate coming out of a salon with the «yeah i just got my bangs cut» look. It’s that blunt/​awkward/​too new type of bang cut. I have never seen such natural bangs like hers. My husband was complimenting how my bangs and my cut overall looked like «the new cut post 3 months later». It fell naturally on my face! I love it
I have a horses tail on my head = thick hair and LOTS of it. She thinned it out, layered it, gave me bangs, styled my hair. in an hour.
SCHWEEEET!
For $ 35, I had my cake and ate it too!
First impression was Fanta-​bulous! I’m not hooked yet only because I need to see if she can recreate the same look when I go back for a trim after half a year. I’ll follow up after that.

The last time I visited Eve Hair Salon was in 2007, and I never went back until May 2011. At the time, I thought the hair dressers were quite snobby. The younger woman working there once refused to cut my boyfriend’s little sister’s hair because she was waiting for a friend who showed up 20 MINUTES later! His sister’s haircut took the other woman 5 minutes to trim! I think they charged about $ 20-​$ 25 for her too!
I decided to give them another try since they are located a couple minutes away from me, and the haircut I had before was good, I just didn’t like the attitudes from this place. Also my normal hairdresser was on vacation (and I think she still is!), and I was desperate for a haircut!
I am SO HAPPY I gave them another chance! Mrs. Park (I think she’s the owner) cut my hair EXACTLY like the photo I brought for her of Park Yong Hee (look her up, she’s hot) ;) She didn’t do a lot of talking either which I liked because I prefer to just sit there like a lifeless mannequin because I’m boring like that. :) Her prices were still the same even after 4+ years at $ 35 for wash, cut and blow-​dry. At first I wasn’t completely satisfied with my hair until I flat-​ironed it and discovered she really did cut it perfectly (I have naturally wavy almost curly hair)!
I’m not sure if I’ll be coming back next time when my normal hairdresser is back in San Jose because her prices are cheaper (though I think she’s raising them a little). BUT I asked for the exact cut from my normal dresser before which came out more like Ga-​In from BEG. Still a cute cut, but not exactly what I wanted because my hair was so damaged. If I’m in a desperate situation though, I have Eve Hair Salon always right there 2 minutes away from me for Mrs. Park to do her magic!

Don’t be put off that there are only three reviews for this place!
Started calling around for quotes on getting a trim for my long hair and was disgusted that other asian salons in the area were telling me $ 40 for a trim. I got ripped off by my last haircut in Menlo Park ($ 75!!!) and was not willing to fork over that much.
Randomly decided to call Eve after reviewing the Unilocal Search results. She told me it would be $ 35 for a cut and that I could come in at 6:45 (I was calling around 5:30).
Started to rethink my decision as I started to drive over, especially since only two people had reviewed this salon and they were both guys. The only thing worst than an expensive haircut is a really bad one. But I decided that if I got a bad feeling, I would literally just have her trim 1″ off my locks — I had that much to give.
Got there around 6:30 and noticed that they closed at 7. I was a Chinese girl with a photo of Korean singer in hand when I walked in and was greated with «Ahnyounghaseyo». They quickly realized that I was not going to be responding in Korean.
Well, after getting quickly shampooed up (well before my actual appointment time) I showed Eve my photo and she knew exactly who it was of, which was cool. In 20 quick minutes, she had matched the photo EXACTLY and was blow-​drying me right quick. Even though it was after 7 at this point, she then offered to trim my eyebrows. I was out of there
All in all, great customer service even though I was not of their typical clientele and I was SUPER happy with my $ 35 haircut. I’ll be back.

i’ve been coming to the eves for a haircut since i moved to man jose, and the eve «noonim» has been consistent throughout. if you want it styling, fly to l.a. and get it done in k-​town. otherwise, tell me if you know for sure there are better korean hair salons for men’s haircut in man jose. until then, eve noonim gets my vote. :)
