Cali Beauty Salon

Dec 2025

The first win here was no line or waiting as a walk-in customer, around 4pm on a Monday. I liked the haircut experience at Cali Beauty Salon because of bridging language barriers, helping me practice speaking Spanish, and feeling warmth of people there who helped out. Both a friendly Latino barber named Freddy and a man in his chair were interpreting for me with Anna who started my hair. Then, Julio who was her teacher finished styling my hair. Through the process, I was using the translator app on my phone, and I enjoyed the conversation. I felt more at home when stylists were singing along to music playing. Pulling up pictures of layered curly hair styles helped and I was satisfied with my dry ends cut and the flat ironed layers. 4 stars is only because styling products were not successful in holding or protecting my style from humidity. Just from walking to my car and driving home my hair had flattened and had some frizz, so my family couldn't see how it looked in the salon. I should have taken pictures.
