Barry is honest and straightforward in his approach to his work, business, and family. He has demonstrated a high degree of loyalty and trustworthiness towards his clients and to his associates. Barry cuts and colors to perfection, always accommodating, and will listen with sincerity whenever needed. He makes you feel as though you're his only client.

In addition, London Hair Studio holds a high standard for client confidentiality and does not pollute the air with annoying shop-talk or client gossip. It's been a wonderful experience every time I've walked through his door and a whole lot of fun. I moved to California in 1984, was introduced to Barry and he has been my hair stylist ever since also my two now grown daughters as well as my sisters and mother when they come to town. That's right 28 years and boy do I have "GREAT HAIR" just ask Barry, or anyone else for that matter. So go ahead make that appointment, I promise you won't regret it and besides you owe it to yourself. Without hesitation I highly reccommend London Hair Stuidio SJC,CA."

"Charlotte is THE BEST! She always gives me exactly what I want... Except it always turns out better than I expect. I usually rock a punk look (char does it the best!) and my mom has a more conservative look which turns out beautiful every time. Go see Charlotte, she'll rock your world!" - Mandi A.

"I found this salon on Yelp when searching for a new place (the last one didn't do the greatest job) and I'm very pleased with the service and the cut. Charlotte totally understood what I was going for and executed it excellently. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

"As mentioned in some other reviews, it's an unassuming place that doesn't go overboard with glitz and glam. Just nice people who know how to cut and style hair, and who want satisfied customers. I got a much better cut for less money than the previous salon. Check it out!" - Nick S.

"I keep going back because I love my haircut! The conditioning treatment has helped my hair so much!! My hair has never looked so good." - Erin D

"I heard about this salon from my boss. Not a fancy OC type of studio but the staff are very professional. My hair stylist (Charlotte) frequently visiting all kinds of styling and haircare classes, just got certified for Brazilian Blow Out which is popular everywhere but you cant beat the price at this salon.

"I like people who work there, if you are not satisfied with something just ask and they will fix it. There is a lot of regulars .... i guess its a good sign. I go there once in a while to get haircut and color, last time i had the Brazilian Blow out done and i really like it.

"More over they will always offer you a glass of wine =)) I will definitely be back" - Railka H.

"Everyone there is super friendly and very down to earth. At first when I wasn't happy with the color, Charlotte knew just what to do and fixed it right away with no problems. I'm very happy with my cut and color! I will definitely be coming back. Thanks for everything!" - Sarah O.

"A very low key place that knows what they are doing. Charlotte is an amazing hair stylist and has amazing prices! I will be coming back!" - hillary y.
