A rarity: a barbershop for women.You must go to the Cutaway with a distinct vision of what you want, and have the means to express that vision to the hairstylists. You do not go to the Cutaway with...

I woke up this past Monday morning knowing that my straggly, growing-out hair had to go and it was time to accept that I needed it cut short (but not TOO short). As the recipient of many fabulous...

I was really pleased at first, but results have been inconsistent over the years. You have to know the ways in which your hair is a challenge and be directive.

Beware of Jenny. I asked for a layered cut, but she decided it must be bob for my face. If you have your heart set on a style on something she doesn't agree with, you'll go home, deeply...

OK haircuts. You're essentially paying for the real estate on Piedmont Ave., nothing else. The people down the street who charge more for a haircut probably do a better job and aren't mute while they...

Terrible - good haircuts for guys is such a frustrating process because to get a good one you have to shell out 50 or 60 bucks, which is how much women spend, but they have more hair and options for...

So I ended up visiting my parents over the weekend in Oakland. My hair which I had been keeping slightly long (as in short hair which hasn't been cut in 2 months kinda long) was starting to bug me. So...

Jenny does a pretty good job on my hair and it is a lot cheaper than most other salons. I haven't had color done there yet because I usually just do it myself so I can't comment on that. You can...

I had read raves in the Berkeley Parents Network and I went here, and got an AWFUL cut from a woman named Jenny, who had so much attitude. The shop wasn't comfortable -- nor was the cut as cheap as...

Haircuts are stuck in a two-party system. For the past three years or so, I've had to choose between candidates I don't really believe in. (Before that I was off the grid, shaving my head with...

Damn it's been a while since I had long hair. Every time I go to my regular stylist he gives me a great cut but he doesn't let me grow it out. I'll show him! I came to Yelp in search of a good...

Nothing like a hot little haircut to make you feel great. I just walked out with $30 less in my pocket ($25 for the cut, $5 for tip) and a stylish, flattering cut that I love! Thanks, Jenny. I'll be...

Okay, so the hairdresser I had been going to for four years f*cked up my hair in the worst way. Let's just say that I was trying to grow my hair out and I told him that I wanted him to just thin out...

Ditto. I waited about 20 minutes and got a very thoughtful, careful haircut even though I was basically just wanting a straight trim when I went in. He ended up layering the bottoms a bit for volume...

Awesome value, minimal fuss. The Cutaway ladies have been taking care of me for 6 years, through many hairstyles! Classical music in the background is a plus, as is the ever-present Binky.
