I showed her a photo of myself with the haircut I wanted, shoulder length. She cut it so short, even ears are not covered. And the haircut itself looks like it was done by a total rookie, and she claims to have 30 years of experience. It hurts me to look in the mirror. Why did she do this to me? So disappointed, now I have to wait for 2+ months before it can get fixed when my hair grows long enough. Will never come again.

Frequent customer at this place. Absolutely love it. Please don’t go here cause I want my last minute appointments

The staff was welcoming and while haircut you can enjoy the soothing music 🎵

First time here and the space is beautiful, and really cordial staff! Will definitely be coming back!

I love Shear Perfection! The hairdresser is really nice, and I always get a great haircut for a really low price (theres a student discount, too). Best hairdresser Ive ever had!

Great service, very busy one hair dresser only. You need appointment close to U.C. Berkeley. Limited parking off street paid parking. Not handicap friendly.

I had a great experience at Shear Perfection! Ja is incredibly personable and friendly. I usually dislike small talk during things like haircuts, but I found myself chatting the whole time with her about fun, everyday things. The cut itself was fairly straightforward, short sides and back and a trim to the top (top-knot), so will update my review the next time I get an extensive cut.

My wife has thick, curly hair and many salons have no idea how to style it but ja is the best. My wife wears her hair very short and she always loves how Ja styles it. Plus the place is comfy for the husband too. Please give her a chance, you wont be dissapointed.

Ja, my hair cutter and owner of Shear Perfection is fabulous. I have been getting haircuts at Shear Perfection for over 20 years. Im not sure about letting this great secret out, but I still call for appointments and dont think it will be too difficult to get one.

I got my hair cut a couple of months here first time, and it was so great. I got a lot of compliments from my friends, I highly recommend this place.

Ja is the best hair cutter & stylist around. Shes very friendly, talented, and affordable. Why even consider going anywhere else?

Got cut and nice owner!

I started getting my hair cut by Ja when I was in graduate school years ago. Although I moved to the Peninsula in 2014, I return to Berkeley every time I need a haircut because Ja is the only person I trust with my hair. She is incredibly talented, and I always walk out with exactly the cut that I describe to her. I also love chatting with her, and always leave the salon in a chipper mood.
