It is always a pleasure to come to your office. We appreciate your courtesy, professionalism, attentiveness, friendliness, and the great care you give to your patients. We especially like the fact that you are true to your appointments and do not make us wait past our appointment time. Thank you!

I always go here to get my hair cut and I always go to Lita. Where else can you get a shampoo, cut, blow dry, and style all for $35?? Stanford mall you'd expect that to cost $60 or more. I've always been really happy with my hair after leaving here. She listens to exactly what I want and doesn't cut any more than I say to.‎

I first moved to Palo Alto about 18 months ago, and I randomly tried Hair International for a quick trim. Heather, one of the stylists, did a fantastic job. She was incredibly friendly, responsive to what I ask for, quick, and always on time. I have been so impressed with how consistently she has cut my hair, that I have continued to see her every few weeks. I couldn't and wouldnt go anywhere else.As someone who is very picky about their hair and how it is cut, I would highly recommend Heather. She's consistently good, and the service she provides is a true pleasure. You won't find anyone better.

These five stars are for Tracy! Tracy, an established hair stylist and color specialist at Hair International has been phenomenal. She works extremely well with my hair, highlights it just right and suggests changes to my style and color and is always responsive to my comments and satisfaction with the end result.

This is a very cute place. They have great haircuts no matter who you get. It is really busy so i understand if the receptionists make a mistake. Its really a great place. Its really easy to find and everyone is really welcoming and friendly. And there is never a long wait. I would definetly recommend this place. Just be understanding if your appt. gets a little messed up. Its a hard job to keep such a busy place so organized.‎

I am very particular about my stylist. Tiffany really works with your face shape and hair type to make sure you have a style that you want, but also works well with your features. - From Alice C.

Best Stylist, Best Salon

I think Alma is the best hairstylist in Palo Alto. I do everything to my hair( highlights, flat-iron) and it always looks pretty.I can afford to come here, also, which is a big plus. Not nearly as expensive as one would think for Stanford mall. I always like my hair when I leave and I like wandering around Stanford so I go in a lot! Alma is intelligent so so I enjoy the conversation. Thank you, Alma!

Sharon rocks

For years I've had problems getting my hair color right. I finally went to Sharon at Hair International and she was able to figure out what was happening and got it right the first time. I'm a true believer.

YOU SUCK

I got the WORST service ever at this dump. The haircut was good, but as usual, the receptionist suck. Whats the problem people??? A patrons first impression is the front desk staff. If Alma didn't work there, you can bet your bottom dollar that I'd never set foot in that place again. I was pleasantly surprised a couple months ago when I came in for my haircut. There was definatley major improvement then. Too bad that didnt last. I hate feeling that I'm INTERUPTING the receptionist to inform her that I am here for an appointment, as she's stuffing food in her mouth!! To top it off, she then yells with food still in her mouth and licks her nasty fingernails right there at the front desk! I hate coming here! It's gross!! So, if anyone of anyone reads this that cares that is in a position to make some changes or rules..... DO IT!!! THIS IS WHAT YOUR VALUED CUSTOMERS SEE WHEN WE COME IN. You are damn lucky that you have some excellent hair cutters there or you'd be outta business.

A local favorite of mine

I went to Hair International and had a great experience! Debbie was so helpful and friendly, and Alma did a wonderful job although I was particularly nervous about taking on a new stylist... I am picky about my short style! Now I know I have found one I will return to again and again.
