Best

After a few bad colors with a different hair stylist, I needed a change. Luckily I found Barberia and they were able to correct my color and I get great haircuts too!

Worst

My last week's appointment was a total disaster. I came in for color and cut with Irene. I had to wait for about 20 mins while Irene was finishing with the customer who came bef...

Happy hair is here again! 3/25/2007

After leaving Barberia, I realized it was the first time EVER I was in a good mood after getting my hair done. Typically stylists seem like they don't know how to cut my hair, and I have had a long string of bad haircuts to prove it. On top of that, I had severely damaged my hair with box color. But after my first trip to TJ I am so excited that I have finally found I stylist I can't wait to go back to! He took the time to really think about what would be best for my hair, and the haircut is perfect qnd the color is even. Throughout the whole process he made me feel extremely comfortable and was very professional. I will definitely be going back soon and be recommending TJ to anyone with curly or straight hair! more

Love this salon 12/22/2006

I am a spa junkie and ex hair stylist. When I moved to the Bay Area a year ago, I tried a bunch of different salons. None got it right except Barberia. Pros: Great colorists, friendly staff, easy to maintain cut Cons: schedule way in advance if you aren't flexible, no spa (but waxing/ make-up avail.) more

Worst salon I have ever been to!!! 10/15/2006

It makes me sick to see how highly recommended this salon is. I had a haircut and highlights done there a year ago and I still feel the urge to inform the public of the horrendous job they did. The stylist said she was going to use a new french technique called "baliage" or something to that extent, but it basically just looked like she was leaving an extra inch of root before starting the highlights. On top of that she was attempting to show her staff this new technique and without my permission proceeded to calling 7 girls to gather around me to watch. This is not a beauty school and I am not a guinea pig so don't treat me like one! My haircut came out awful as well and was not even. The cost was ridiculous and they pressure you to purchase their products on the threat that your color will turn brassy if you didn't use the product they were pushing. more

Slightly above average... 10/5/2006

Went to Barberia based on the stellar reviews. Maybe I came in with high expectations, but I thought my overall experience was just so-so. They get high marks on having super friendly staff and a clean facility...but my whole haircut experience was underwhelming. The shampoo, cut, and style felt rushed; my cut looked no better than when I used to go to Supercuts when I was young. I'm used to getting a better experience for the same price at other salons. Stylists and clients all seemed to be in the 50+ age bracket....maybe that's where the disconnect is. Perhaps I'll love this place in twenty years! Pros: friendly staff, clean facility Cons: lack of creativity, rushed feeling more

Friendly people and easy to get to! 7/2/2006

I got there and was surprised at how many stations and people were there! It was a Saturday, but a holiday weekend. I saw Irene who was talkitive, fun and was fine with my roots that I was leaving due to being pregnant! She also just cut, I didn't really know what I wanted but wanted more of a style since I could not color my hair. I ended with a long shagish style that is easy to do and fun. Pros: Easy to find, parking, price and friendly staff Cons: Busy-don't expect a spa like atmosphere. I didn't mind but thought it was going to be. more

Best of the Best on the Penninsula! 2/16/2006

My experience at Barberia was above and beyond my expectations. Begining with the friendly reception staff while making my appointment, to the bright and cheerful atmosphere, to the amazing stylists! Everyone is professional and polite. No typical uptight, prima-donna attitude here! I was given a sexy French haircut with carmel Balyage panels. I receive compliments on my fabulous new hair and don't look like everyone else! Love it! Pros: Tons of parking, Beautiful water view more

This is the best! Worth the drive if you're not from the peninsula, which i'm not. Couldn't get a better cut or color or highlights anywhere and everyone is friendly from the front desk through the shampoo girls! Try it more

User review by bubbybetty 1/11/2006

I have been going to Barberia for more than 3 years and have always been treated kindly by a caring staff. Terry, the owner insists on excellent customer service. Staff smile and work hard. You always leave feeling good. Colorist Amelia is terrific and Terry does amazing cuts. I highly recommend Barberia - they do makeup too and sell great Aveda products. more

User review by belmontlocal 7/26/2005

The salon staff was very nice over the phone to start a good experience. They called to confirm the apt and when I arrived the stylist was ready for me. She talked to me about my hair and what I wanted first for a few minutes. I was very happy with the cut and over all experience. The salon sent a survey and 10% off coupon for my next visit. They definately aim to please and did so for me! more

Beautiful! 5/25/2005

Not only is the salon beautiful, so am I after my new cut and color!! My stylists Madeline and Antonia did a great job and really put alot of thought into what would not only look good on me, but what I would actually be able to maintain by myself. And all of the people there are so nice!! I am used to going to places that are snooty and sacrifice a good time to get a great look, but I got both here.... and the shampoo OMG the head massage! I would definitely recommend Barberia to anyone who wants constant compliments on their hair and friendly atmosphere. :) Pros: Staff, Results, Prices Cons: No spa more
