Reviews for Laura's Hair Salon

Ratings_icons I drove over 50 miles to get a haircut from Laura.

Peter C.

I found Laura on the internet! My wife wanted me to look good for an upcoming Christmas party. She told me to look my best so I hunted around on the internet until I found her. She will be the last person to cut my hair until she retires. i drove down to see her from the Sausalito area. Do you know how many places that means I drove past to get to her?

I come to the states from Dublin about 4 times a year. I happen to find Laura on the internet. I will see her everytime I come to the states.She gave me a great hair cut and told me the price before hand, and it was very reasonable! ($45.00)

Ratings_icons a great place for a scissors hair cut

Timmy F.

i have been looking for a place to get a scissors hair cut done. I had a bad experience somewhere else where they butchered my hair with a machine. I was very happy with Lauras' hair cut and she is very reasonable as well.

Ratings_icons Thank you so much for the great perm!

Mei W.

Although I am still not used to my new look, I know I am going to like it in a few days.Thank you for the perm and hair cut you did for me. Laura has been perming my hair since before she opened the shop. I have known her for at least 14 years.

Ratings_icons Glad I Found Laura from the state of Washington

Kristine W.

I moved here recently from the state of Washington. I am so glad i found Laura because I don't have the time to go back to Washington every 5 weeks to where I used to get my hi lites done. She does a great job. So glad I found her on here.

Ratings_icons Worst Haircut in a Decade

Stefi G.

I can't believe that Laura has all these people praising her haircut. I thought I must have gone to the wrong Laura until I saw the bad review below stating she is 2 doors away from Imagine - but of course considering all the great reviews I thought that one was just off the wall. Considering all the great reviews I thought I was headding for someone that knew how to cut hair. I was surprised that on a Friday Afternoon at 3pm I was still able to get an appointment at 5pm - first hint. When I arrived I was shocked at how shabby the salon was - second hint, but I was positivly suprised since Laura looked quite hip and still thinking about all the positive reviews and thought - let met try her out. She listened closely to what I wanted and told me it was $45 for a haircut like that. I thought ok, that's up there for a salon like this, but hey if it is a good haircut I don't mind. I told her I wanted a modern long layered haircut (I have beyond shoulder long hair). I got up from the chair thinking she would wash my hair, but she proceded pointing to the cutting chair - couldn't quite understand her broken English. So I thought hey ok she first cuts and then washes hair - third hint. She kept on cutting and cutting layers into the hair. From the 1 inch haircutt she cutt about 2-3 Inches off my hair. I ended up with a haircut that had more layers than I had in the 80s. On top of it it turned out that if I wanted my hair washed I had to pay another $17, that would make the haircut be $62. One has to go to a really great salon to have to pay $62 for a haircut. I could tell that she did a mess with my hair and refused, there was no way I wanted her continue working on my hair. I went home and washed my hair hopping the damadge done was not that bad. Unfortunately it was, my hair had no shape or style, I can't ware it down, so I mostly will have an up-do for the next couple of months. There is no way Laura has all this followers that are regular customers not paid relatives and friends that write the review. You can tell I am mad. Still not convinced, go ahead and try her out, but don't come back and say I didn't warn you.

I am a vice president and I give talks everyday. My hair has to look like i just came out of the salon, and 100% professional. That is why I go see Laura. No one ever asks me if I just had a haircut. I have been going to see her for over 11 years.

Jerry L.

I like the way Laura does my hair and hair color. When you go see her she tells you the price up front. That way there are no surprises after the job is done. I go see her every 4 weeks for a hair cut and hair color. She is very honest and does a great job.

Ratings_icons Expensive and Lousy Cuts

Anonymous

There's another hair salon 2 doors down the street, called Imagine. I usually go to Imagine. It's bigger and cleaner. But this one day there was a long wait at Imagine, so I went next door to Laura's --- there was NO customer. That should have been enough of a warning for me to avoid, but....

So I demanded a haircut. She asked me how short I wanted it. I said "rather short because I haven't had a haircut for 3 weeks." She almost shaved my head! I still don't understand why she cuts hair so short, because an ex-girlfriend also got her long hair cut in half by this Laura a few years ago.

On top of that, she charged me around 30 bucks for the haircut because washing hair was another 11 or 12 bucks, and I asked to have my hair washed. WHAT! Imagine will wash your hair, cut your hair, and wash again for 16 bucks. I paid about twice the price at Laura's.

The short hair made me so ugly, my girlfriend dumped me. Now I have one more ex-girlfriend, thanks to Laura!

Bottom line: unless you want a shaved head, avoid this place. I will never go back here again.

Laura is very nice and friendlly person. I have been her customer for more than 7 years. Her fee's is higher than some of the hair cuts place in down town Mountain view. I like her hair cut since it is more modern. You don't need to wait for long time for appointment.
