Ive been going to Jack for my hair for over 3 years and there is no one else who does it better than him.I love the work Jack does to my hair whenever I need a haircut. As a picky individual, I value his opinion when it comes to making big decisions on my hair. Jack always makes my hair look so perfect and just how we have discussed! I always get compliments on my hair by my peers and even strangers, even when my hair has grown out. Jack makes sure that my hair looks beautiful until I am due for another haircut.My mom also has been going to Jack for years to get her haircut, and I am always left impressed with the work he does. He always knows what looks good and makes sure that we are left content with our hair.

I had been looking for a hair stylist since moving from another state and was hesitant to visit well-known places due to mixed reviews and high prices. I came across this salon online and am so glad I did. The owner was really friendly and cut my hair just how I had shown him in the picture. I visited this salon in part because of others reviews and am happy to now add my own positive review to the mix. The service was great and the price was right. I will be definitely be coming back!

The customer service is the worst in this place. I used their service twice and every time I leave this place unsatisfied. the hair stylist does not listen to what I wanted to do. he always try to force his ideas on me. he doesnt listen to what I want and always end up with what he decided to do on my hair.

Jack cuts and colors my hair. I wont ever go anywhere else again. I love the way my hair looks now. His salon is very clean and smells wonderful. Besides being a phenomenal hairdresser, Jack is a very sweet and kind man. Go see him!

I am super lazy when it comes to my hair and havent had a haircut in a about a year (maybe almost two). Lets just say my hair was long, dead and dry looking. Jack was excellent. He knew actually what I wanted and then some. Not only did he keep my long length like I wanted, but also made my hair beautiful again. Awesome stylist. No lie, moments after walking out of the building, a random guy pulled over his car to ask me for my phone number (hilarious). Thanks again, Jack! Youre definitely my new stylist.

Ive been going to Jack for years and am always happy with the results of every appointment. He is an excellent stylist and very professional. Sometimes Im not totally sure what I want when I get a new cut, but I know I can always trust him to make my hair look awesome when I go in.Ive been getting my hair chemically straightened (Japanese relax treatment) for a long time, and have never gone anywhere but Caoba to get it done - its a long and potentially damaging process, but I have never had any problems with it. Jack is always very careful and informs me how to take care of my hair after the appointments.Hes very good about listening to any questions I have and offering suggestions as well.I definitely recommend going to him for anything you need to have done to your hair - hes a master!

I finally found my go to Hair Salon! Jack welcomed me as a walk-in client. I showed him a picture of a hair styleI I was interested in. And WOW, my haircut and style looked better than the picture! He is meticulous with his styling, precise with each snip, took his time parting and flat ironing, really amazing professional work. Not to mention his shampooing/conditioning felt like an invigorating head massage! I read another great review about Japanese Hair Straightening that he is able to do on dyed hair. Ill give that ago next time. Thanks Jack!

Great service, nice atmosphere, I totally recommend this place and rate it 10/10 or 💯% 😄I went into the salon with the craziest head of hair imaginable: I thought it would need to be cut extremely short to be tamed. But Jack (he has such great customer service) said we would figure something out. A couple hours later I walked out with hair so sleek and soft, I had no idea something like that could be possible on my head! And best of all, he only trimmed off one inch!!! So now Ive got flowing, manageable hair half way down my back. Thanks Jack for restoring my hair and for making me feel confident and beautiful again!If youre looking for a haircut or something more (I went from an out of control lions mane to sleek, silky hair), go here! You will not regret it!

Its been 10 years, and I am still going to Jack, I think that speaks of his service loudly. I am not sure how the negative reviews can be such an opposite of my experience in a full decade. I have recommended numerous agency-signed fashion models to Jack, and they are all still going to him.Jack has been in business for 10 years, and thats a good testament to how good he is. Salons rely on repeat customers. I first went to him when I lived at the Solara apartment complex (directly above him).Talking about repeat customer, I am still seeing Jack once every few months to have my haircut, even though I have moved away from the Solara complex in Lake City to Fremont for the past 5 years. Trekking back is worth my time.Why? He is good. And he is nice. He is a hardworking man who is very pleasant and I can always count on looking as good as I can walking out of his salon. His prices are still very low compared to the high end salons, but you are not getting any less quality. And since I am in the fashion business, I know quality when I see it. Jack is an artist and a great example of a successful first generation immigrant. I am proud of his achievement.In short, I recommend him, after 10 years of continuous patronage!

When I move to a new city it takes me forever to find a stylist I can trust to always do a great job and also come with new styles in case I dont know what I want. But I usually know exactly what I want - and Jack always nails it!! I wont get my haircut anywhere else but here. Caoba is a great place for a guy to go get his haircut for a reasonable price from a very good hair stylist.

Review №27

Jack has done it again. I searched around and found the reviews for Coaba they sounded too good to be true. They werent. I have very fine hair that shows every cut and forget clippers I have had so many bad haircuts from people in a hurry that I always wait until I cant stand it, to get it cut again. Jack did a fantastic job and now I dont have to choose between unkempt rag mop and Beekerish.

Jack is awesome. I have short hair and no color needed and he always squeezes me in when I call him to make an appointment at a last minute. His haircutting gift and talent found a perfect style for me. Thanks Jack

Went to see Jack for color and haircut. Asked for a balayage and loved how my hair turned out. Jack also did a great job styling my hair.

Review №32

I walked in to ask about getting a perm. Its something I have always wanted to try and I had finally worked up the courage to do it. There was only one man in the store and he was incredibly rude to me. He said terrible things about my hair and the decision to perm it. I left feeling very embarrassed and self-conscious about my hair. Ive never had an experience like that in a salon before and I will never walk back into that place.

I called earlier in the week to book a pedicure. The guy who answered the phone was rude and not very professional. I had second thoughts on going there, so I found another salon. Called to cancel my appointment and was again treated extremely rudely. He didnt ask my name or time of my appointment - just said ok and hung up. Dodged a bullet.

I was the unsure, indecisive, traumatized hair freak that every hair dresser must hate. My step mom owned a hair salon and did my hair until she retired, since then I have had more than a few bad hair people that sent me out the door with a midlife crisis school mom hair cut and color. I read a few good reviews online and made an appointment for the next day. I didnt go to Hair By Joey with the 170+ great reviews, crazy prices, and seemed to have complaints about a phone stuck to his ear. Instead, I chose Jacks salon, Caoba, with only a few good reviews and more reasonable prices.That was the best decision I have made all year. Jack gave me the best hair cut I have ever had in my life. I wanted bold. Jack gave me bold. I never knew sleek, sexy hair could exist on my head. Now it does.. Plus, its PINK! I love it. I wish I could post a picture.Jack, you may not be a man of many words, but you are a true pro.. Thank you very much. P.S. My boyfriend loves it. He came home and pet my hair and said he feels like hes cheating on me.. Its great. Jack is the best, Im telling you. You wont regret your decision to give him a shot. I know I have finally found my match.

Went in to talk about trimming my hair as I grow it out for a more even look and he literally rolled his eyes as they glazed over. I walked out in the middle of a useless conversation in THE MOST awkward business transaction Ive ever experienced. Jack could not have had less interest in my needs.

Review №39

It has taken me over a year to write this review as my experience I had at this salon with Jack was traumatic and it took me a long time to recover from (mentally and financially). My hair is STILL recovering and breaking off at times). Jack wrecked my hair.I took my son to Jack to have his hair cut once and really thought he did a phenomenal job. Despite the fact that he was 15 minutes late to open the salon and didnt so much as apologize for making us wait, I scheduled an appointment for myself. His social skills are sub-par. I was impressed with the cut he gave my son so I scheduled a cut and color.I wanted to do a balayage. I found pictures and proceeded to my appointment. I noticed about halfway through that it looked like he literally was painting every single section of hair and not leaving any out of the foils,halfway up each shaft of hair. I mentally pictured it would look like crackhead grow-out and texted my friend I think he is going to mess up my hair. She told me to trust him, so I did. He took the foils off and started to dry my hair. I began to see that it, in fact looked like crackhead grow-out. My eyes began to well up. He began to cut my hair, he gave me a decent hair cut and then finished and said What do you think?. I was amazed he would even dream of letting me leave looking like that. It looked nothing like the picture and was not a balayage. I told him I did not like it and it did not look like the picture. He told me I would need to do two colors, and that would be extra. My response to that was Well, if you had left some of my darker, un-dyed hair out of the foils, there wouldnt be a need to do that. You just cost me extra money and ruined my hair! He began frantically scrambling around with palettes and mixing more color and began to put foils in my hair. He pulled them out and washed my hair, toned it and began to dry it. The result: I had my natural colored roots and then at the halfway point (unevenly around my head) the rest of my hair ranged from white, to silver, to green. I began sobbing and he offered to fix again and began making up excuses telling it was the type of hair I had and the picture I gave him was impossible to do to my hair. I asked him why he attempted then if he knew he could not do it. I told him to stay away from me and I would not pay him as he wrecked my hair.The next day I sent a picture to my boss. He said my hair was unprofessional and to try to get it fixed. After many consults that day someone at Seven Salon said she could fix it at the most reasonable price. She said she had never seen a color correction like it from a professional and shook her head the entire appointment. She was just as angry as I was. Luckily her professionalism and social skills top Jacks and she provided many chocolates and lattes throughout the appointment. This took two sessions about 3 months apart to fix....and $600.So in total the amount of money lost because of this: $60 -leaving early from work for Jack to mess up my hair, $30 for childcare costs for a babysitter while he messed up my hair, $180 in lost wages for a whole days work to get hair fixed, $300 for the first session to fix my hair, and $300 for the second session to fix my hair. ALMOST $1,000!!!!!!!!!!!! This doesnt even include product.My hair is still breaking off and thin from the damage A YEAR AGO. The guy can cut hair, but that is it. DONT LET HIM DO ANYTHING ELSE. Jack, you suck!

DO NOT GO HERE. Worst Solon experience I have ever had. Jack was very rough & didnt seem to care about my comfort. I asked to keep the length & no more . My hair is now short with layers. I was very emotional afterwards. I will never return!
