Mayra Gomez I been a customer for years and its always the same good service, I love the way they treat my hair, no damage at all

Ale Bermudez Great service, and well experienced

Madeline Guerrero Annalyse is amazing

Fabiola I. Pineda-Nguyen WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE & NAIL WORK EVER!!!! $45 for nail set for the worst service ever. DO NOT BRING YOUR BUSINESS TO THIS PLACE, HORRIBLE! The nail person agreed to do a job where I sent her the photo days in advance and the final job was terrible. I dont know how I got my nail license. I came once and I will never come or recommend this place. The woman acts very important.

Paty Hernandez I like Sandras hair studio because she fixings all of massy hair , giving security on wherever you want to get it done

Victoria Reynolds Today was my first appointment ever here with Debbie. I was extremely late and she still graciously took me in. She did full highlights and it came out to be exactly what I wanted, and she was super fast. The pricing is unbelievably reasonably. I am excited to be a client here now!

San German My wife started going to get her hair done by Debbie she has done an amazing service to her hair Thank you for your great service.

Lorena Ramirez Jackies the only girl Ill let touch my hair!! I been going to her for almost 4yrs and she never disappoints me, awesome service and good quality hair products

Candace Taber Ive been getting my hair done by Debbie for almost 3 years. I refuse to go anywhere else. Shes the best!

Camila Asnicar I was looking for someone who could do my daughters XV makeup and wow Anita and Karla are the dream team! Very professional and clean. My daughter was looking gorgeous, very natural, LOOKING HER AGE!!! and mine was “chef’s kiss” my makeup last form 6:00 am to 1:00 am!!! Book your appointment with them.

Leonardo Aguilar Valdez Josesito gets down with the cuts! He is an amazing barber and he is also good at dying hair he did my girls hair and came out really good. Would totally recommend this hair salon to anyone, and the prices beat the competition, barbers out here trying to charge 30-40 dollars, here the cuts start at 16 dollars.

el co I have waited several weeks from the time i got my hair dyed by Josesito because of the experience i had i wanted to make sure I wasnt angry when i was writing this. I went in for a consult with josesito. He seemed very confident and experienced, and we agreed that getting my hair to the color i wanted would take several visits to minimize damage. He told me for that first visit, he would keep a close look over my hair & that he would wash immediately once it lifted and not a second longer. He got my foils in fast, & He told me to process for 30 min. I thought to myself this was weird because earlier he had said hed only leave it processing for 10-15 max & that he’d be watching over it the whole time. During the 30 minutes, he took another client. He had told me i was going to be his “last client” so that he could only focus on me. At the end of 30 min he came over and said “Wow your hair is already looking so good & I think your hair will be platinum today. Then he told me just another 15. I wish I would’ve spoken up at that point but since I had asked for olaplex & knew it inhibits the lightening process and he had claimed to only use 20 volume, I just stayed quiet. At this point, HE STARTED DRINKING. If he can do good hair that is the least thing I care about, but THEN HE SAID HE WOULD BE RIGHT BACK & DROVE AWAY FROM THE SALON! I began to panic, so i took a pic w my phone so I could see it & I very quickly realized that he had ruined my hair. I wanted to leave but I still had 500 foils in my hair so I told his co-worker I needed to go home home to wash my hair out because I knew he had ruined my hair. She had to call him, & finally he walked in & said something like “Im here, I’m here, why are you so worried?! OMG she’s so worried” like trying to make me feel like I was in the wrong because he’s the pro. Its like excuse me, you just decided to leave the building in the middle of doing someones hair , what is wrong with you. He immediately washed my hair and said he would tone it in the bowl. Im sure he could sense I was irritated and wanted to leave. It didn’t tone at all in the bowl, so he said he would have to tone it afterwards, but as he was combing my hair I had to hold myself back from crying because it was coming off in huge chunks (I will include photos within a day or two, just have to get them from my cloud and add them here). Even the coworker said something to me like “Oh wow you were right your hair is breaking bad” Meanwhile, he kept telling me “Don’t worry!!” and I kept saying “I am worried. I know my hair.” I left with the toner in my hair & cried my entire way home. Long story short, I lost half of my hair. i got home & immediately washed the toner from my hair & I was pulling huge clumps of hair from my head . If it weren’t for me having really thick hair before this, I truly think I would’ve been bald. I literally felt like a chemo patient in regard to how much hair I was losing, and I still am overly cautious with brushing my hair because there are spots where my scalp shows.. To make matters worse, he burned my scalp and the back of my neck - to the point where I had a painful rash. I had to get a cream from my doctor to make it go away. All of this, and he still charged me $200, but he told me to come back a couple days after. I would never. I would’ve refused to pay but I was alone, he was drinking, and I didn’t feel comfortable since I was the only client in the salon and knew it might escalate. At this point, I am headed to small claims to address this in court since I had to pay another stylist to salvage the mess he created. I know that Jose knows what he did to my hair and has Never called to say sorry or offer a refund. I would NEVER let him touch my hair again nor would I recommend him to anyone.

읏 The guy is very rough while cutting your hair and he gets distracted very easily my haircut took like 40 min because he kept calling people about a party. He even cut my ear.

Maria Vega They did a really good job of waxing my eyebrows 10/10 would recommend

m m I was amazed at the attentive ness of my barber. She knew hot to handle my pandemic hair.

Mauricio Quintero i visitef this place?

Vicente Great service! Tv in waiting area, great with kids!

Leo F. Lopez I’ve been going here for years good service and I’m good friends with them there kind and take there time with my kid doing her hair

Alexia Daniela They are super kind and do a great job I have never cut my hair anywhere else.

Veronica Ariel Hensley Went to get my hair and makeup done by Esperanza. She sid such a wonderful job! I was obsessed with my hair and makeup! If I ever need to get dolled up again I will be coming back here!

Aide Rocha This Girl cancelled on me last minute she had told me that she had a Family Emergency when she didn’t I followed her on Instagram and she had posted some videos that she was partying and riding a bull Ummm that’s not a family emergency

Elinson H Love doing my hair here cuz they take their time to do it right

Francisco Moran-Salcedo I take my boy here to see Jesus, since the first time, my boy Max trusted Jesus, and his comb-over haircut was clean and nice...We go there ever since. Thanks. Perfect haircut every time. I highly recommend it. My boy is 3 1/2 years old, started taking him there almost 1 year ago, and I plan to continue. Thanks Buds Barber Shop.....

sheriff crandy I received a quick and quality haircut. Those two usually dont go together but the guy got me in and out of there fast and the cut was exactly what I wanted. The only thing I dont care for is that they take cash only, and no appointments. Definitely recommend these guys though Ill be back!

Popeye Jams I called to inquire about a Straight razor shave, I mentioned that I was an Afro American, he told me that "they dont do that there", I said well what do you do? he said "we dont do nothing here" I said arent you a barber shop he said yes! They clearly are racist and rude!

Christina Perry Husband got his haircut at buds today. Have to say they gave him a great haircut. My husband was very pleased. Its a nice manly mans place with great service.

Malena Martinez Amazing staff, great service, great experience. Definitely coming back :)

LJ. Mag Its decent, $20 for mens cut. Good enough Id say (Since Im not too worried about my hair cuts unless they totally do a bad mess up) I asked for scissors on top but the lady I got didnt ask how short, she just started cutting and THEN asked if it was alright or if I wanted it shorter. For $20 tho, not the best but its decent. Came here for a quick cut for a last minute event.

Greg Rudd Friendly!! Fast and high quality. I’ve been going here for at least 20 years and used to bring my son too. Maria and her staff are great people and do good work

Lois Williams My first visit here...will return! Skilled stylists, accommodating and friendly, efficient, good service, very clean shop. I made appointment...nice waiting. Good price, also.

Ezequiel Rodriguez She is friendly.She is fast.Yes, shes a hard worker. And a good stslash She does good job for men.Haircuts , thank you

Justin Lopez I want to say this is the most amazing barber shop! The owner is a sweet, caring loving person she always takes her time and gives quality haircuts for a fraction of the price of other shops. I highly recommend this place if you’re in need of a quality haircut! Thanks again for all your hard work and friendly service

Yossilyn Herrera Honestly the worst place I have ever gone to get a hair cut .. I just asked for a trim and literally had to go back a second time because half of my hair was shorter on one side and there was still long pieces hanging . Before I went I already had short hair to the length of my collarbones. Margie was the name of the hairstylist and she kept saying that because my hair is straight its really hard to cut it evenly ? I was never told that before at any other hair salon Ive gone too. Going back twice in one day and Margie still messing up my hair making it look even more choppy than before and still having long pieces of hair still hanging was unprofessional and my hair is embarrassing . I posted a picture of Facebook and people were saying there kids could have done a better job . I will never recommend any of my family or friends to go to this place . If I can place a picture I would.

Dolores Gentry I bring my whole family here. This is a great place to get everyones haircut. Sweet girls work here. Not too pricey. Great service. Hardly ever really busy. During busy times: Sat AM more girls working. In and out fast and great attention to detail from one of my high end boys. If you want it done right here is where to go.

Suade Worst haircut place ever dont come to this haircut. No trajacas a tu familia aqui no te cortan el pello como quieres. And also they made my hair shorter and I wanted it long so worst place ever

Rose Velasco Its always nice when on a hot nice day ur received with smiles

Lizet Arias Love the service ! Really nice lady

Juan Baltazar First couple of times the owner cut my hair and recieved a good haircut and good service would give a 5 star but when I went back these recent days I noticed she had a new person also cutting hair. The new person cut my hair. It wasn’t even and wasn’t cut properly. I new something was up when she cut it and said she was done in 5 minutes! Wouldn’t recommend getting a cut with no one other than the owner This was also right before my graduation and I didn’t take of my cap because I was so embarrassed of my haircut

splice allegiances I loved my haircut! Thank you!!

Dayne Gradone Best Barbershop in Watsonville. Hands down. Definitely a Top 3 mens barbershop in the county. Salvador has 20+ years of experience and has to be a downtown legend by this point. Looking for a fresh cut? Come here.

Cody Hinojosa Great place to get a quality haircut. They take their time and do a great job. Definitely a good idea to get an appointment, theyre very popular and usually have a line out the door. Definitely worth the wait though if you decide to just walk in.

Miguel Melgoza They cant cut hair, ive told them TWICE what i wanted and TWICE i can out of there with a hair cut i didnt want. They have a "phone" you can call and they have never once picked up the phone when i have called. Absolutely terrible place, ohh and if youre in a hury dont bother. I went there once and only four guys were ahead of me.... usually at great clips the wait would only last 30-40 minutes... i spent 2 AND A HALF HOURS waiting to get a goddam haircut, 30+ minutes on a single person is ridiculous.

Marisol Nunez What I’ve Seen, he’s a great Barber That Takes Time On Haircuts So They Can look good!! Even Tho The Wait Can Be a Little Long Sometimes, it’s Still worth it!

Nathyn Purganan Walked by and needes a haircut. Medium skin fade. Barber took it down with a straight razor. Old fashioned skills you dont see at the big chains. Took his time pay attention to every detail. Salvador hit it spot on. Definitely going back and I live in Seaside.

X X I’ve been here twice and each time mid cut the barber left and took either a personal call or talked to someone for about 10 mins. I understand a pause for a moment to talk to someone but to leave someone at the chair for a while?! These barbers also have an ego that is to the roof. Sign says walkins welcome but there scheduling system is so bad that it’s never the case. I wouldn’t recommend.

Raymond Romero I’ve gone to a number of barbers, after seeing Merla’s work on IG I wanted to give her work a try and since the first hair cut I’ve been hooked and going to her ever since she’s amazing with detail and makes sure you leave with a great cut and makes it very easy to make an appointment with her Merla is amazing at her artistic barbering!!

Raul Gonzalez Services on fades, tapers,beard trim, hot towel shaves , kids haircuts (6+) and señior haircuts (55+) by appointments and walk-ins.

miguel sanchez Second time going there with a weeks advance appointment made early in the week to get my son a haircut for the 18th, well it turns out that after we got there that we were not on the schedule. Even after showing them the message of them telling me to come by, they pretended like they were ominous to the situation and that was a new level of unprofessional. Bad service. Bad attitude.

Adrian Diaz First time going here, I really like the hair cut they gave me, After telling the young lady to dovthe best she could, It came out really good in my opinion, She knows what she is doing.

Alejandro Ortiz Excellent service

Christian Castro Got home and realized I didn’t receive a full tapper. Kinda looks like a regular cut. Never again

Jessie Gomez I went here over a year ago, I came here to do a root touch up. My mom said "hey, I want to pay for your hair. This person that does really good male haircuts." So I agreed. My hair is blonde and the lady asured me she knew what she was doing. She quoted me $80. Let me add right here my hair was half way down my back when I got this done. Ive been blonde for 6 years. And my hair was pretty, healthy, and long. So I was there from 10am to around 4pm. The lady that did my hair over processed my hair and it started to break off. I was crying but she said its normal as I ran my fingers through my hair chuncks where falling out. She then went to tone my hair. When she was done the roots where white while the rest on my hair was a honey blonde. She then said "done". I said um my hair is 2 different colors. Then she said to me go ask the owner. And the owner took it upon her self to fix it. Well she turned my hair green. Every attempt she made, it came out greener, and greener I finally said stop! You guys dont know what your doing and you ruined my hair! I grabbed my things and walked out. I went to someone else who actually knew what they where doing and she warned me that there will be a line there once the toner washes out and that it will eventually break off there. I tried my best to not break my hair i bought a finger brush, deep conditioning treatments, to not washing my hair cuz i just didnt want more to fall off. Here i am over a year later all my hair broke off. And im basicly starting from scratch. Right now my hair is shoulder length (black). I finally got the courage to die my hair again after this nightmare. I was looking at colorist in Watsonville and they came up so I decided to leave a review so this wont happen to someone else.

German Rodriguez Great quick haircut for $20 bucks.

Jacqueline Mendez Lucy is amazing she has been cutting my hair since I was in elementary school and I still continue to go to her, because she always cuts exactly what you ask for. She never cuts more then what you ask for! Thank you Lucy!

Mikeyducks6 7 Knee grow

《SERGIO》 RIVERA Tx t

Alexy Moreno They kept me waiting for almost an hour for someone else to arrive and be attended to.

Luv831 1 The lady at the front desk was so rude she made me give her $200 deposit and wanted me to pay an extra $380 to do my hair just my hair an extra $95 for my make up Which would’ve been almost $600 for two people so I asked her to give me my money back and she gave me attitude and said that she was not gonna give me my money back I do not recommend this and to top it off, she had told me a different pricing in the beginning and texted me the day before and made up a whole different pricing and I went over there and she said she gave me a receipt and she never had gave me one to start with so she could’ve changed the pricing on her receipt showing that she had said that in the beginning

Andreina Estrada Love getting my hair done here! They can dye your hair any color of the rainbow! Love there hair vitamin treatments as well!

Chombe Jacobo Hair was such a mess . Wow. Nasty. Gross . Doesn’t even know how to blend hair . Doesn’t know what a double zero is . Wow . And I still paid $14 . GTFOOH !

PowerfulVibration Persaeus 2008 She is a professional and so charismatic! She makes you more beautiful than ever!

Myra Fuentes If I could give zero stars I would. alma completely fried my hair off, I was a clueless young adult relying on an “licensed expert” to save the integrity of my hair. I knew the basics to bleach but she kept re assuring me bleaching my hair 3 times in the span of 6 weeks would be fine as long as I took 2 week increments little did I know my hair would fry and break leaving me with at least 1 inch of hair, this was the lowest point within MYSLEF and my self esteem. She knew exactly what she did. When she was done I completely freaked out, I saw half of my hair On the floor and I asked her what had happened, she looked at me and said “obviously there’d be damage” I looked at her with watery eyes and she offered one treatment spray.. a spray would never replace the damage she’d done and still charged me full price. Too bad I didn’t take pictures of my hair at that state, this incident happened about 3 yrs ago. I’ve literally waisted thousands in hair extensions, today my hair is barely at shoulder length Either way I’m thankful it grew back.
