2005-06-04 19:57:21   With haircuts grossly overpriced at $26, I'd highly recommend avoiding this place. I showed this lady a picture of how I wanted my hair to look, and it didn't look remotely like it in the end. She told me the "texture of my hair" wasn't the same as the model's—which is ridiculous, because I've gotten my hair cut the same way about a gajillion times in the past. —BrianChen

2005-07-07 17:36:42   The only good hair cut I've had in Davis. I always take a picture of myself when I go to get my haircut. This is the only place so far in Sacramento or Davis to get it right. I mean c'mon it's a picture of me. I'm not asking for Brad Pitt's hair or Boy George's or anything. So, yeah a haircut runs 26 bucks here, but it was worth it to me. —NathanMilos

2005-07-08 00:11:29   Heh. Maybe I should consider such a venture. I sually walk into SuperCuts and say "shave it off." Isn't that how it's done? I guess being an Italian means my hair grows to fast for 26$/visit. —MichaelGiardina

2005-12-01 17:17:08   After getting $12-$14 haircuts my entire life, I decided to take a plunge with a $28 haircut from here. I have to say it was a fantastic experience. She really took her time making sure everything was being cut evenly, and would make good suggestions on how to proceed at various times. One thing I liked about my experience was how she didn't robotically cut my hair, but took her time to make sure it was being done completely evenly, and made suggestions on how she'd like to proceed. The cosmetologist was Karen, who also owns the salon, and she was very nice. Even when I didn't have enough cash (they only accept check or cash), she was trusting enough to let me run to the Nugget for their ATM (even when I offered her my license to hold onto). And, after it was all said and done, she even turned down the tip I left her! Even after I insisted. Classy. I agree with Nathan, it's the only good hair cut I can say I've had in Davis. —JesseSingh

2005-12-28 11:03:06   Creative Hair has done wonders for me over the past four years I've had my hair done there. The Creative team consists of such wonderful people and terrific stylists and the products they use I dare say are the best in the state. But keep in mind, the $26 haircut everyone else is talking about on this page is really just for those special occassions and times when we're feeling our vainest. Just ask for a simple trim if that's what you're looking for, and it'd ring up as ten bucks, give or take depending how inflation's going. And even a simple trim still beats what other places in town and around have to offer. I'm pushing for a student discount for all us college peeps, unless they already have one. I'm ashamed to admit that, up to this point, me mother has paid for all my do's, she insists *sigh* so I couldn't tell ya at the moment. —TedParkman

2006-10-12 09:26:34   It's a little expensive, but Karen did an awesome job with my hair. She took her time and wanted me to be happy with it. It's the first haircut I've been totally happy with in a long time. —BriannaHenthorn

2008-05-17 18:23:28   Luz is fabulous. In my experience, she always does a great job and is a really nice person. Highly recommended. —TK

2008-10-03 22:14:07   I've had my hair cut by Thomas for a few years, before he was at Creative Hair, and he always does a great job. He really knows what he's doing, and he has a great personality. —DPD

2008-10-11 11:11:18   I went there one week ago and brought pictures of the haircut I wanted (kind of an artsy haircut) and Thomas hooked me up! Plus, he is such a fun person and a great conversationalist. I did some comparison price shopping (the prices for the downtown Davis hair salons are outrageous) and this place seemed like the best value for money- $25 was the final price before the tip amount. Best-kept secret in Davis! —CalamityJanie

2008-10-30 09:51:24   Jess has been cutting my hair for a few years now and he's great. I've heard Thomas is great too. If you're a guy and you need/want to avoid a barber or a hack job at some chain store, Jess is the man for you. As for "grossly overpriced at $26," I have to laugh out loud. Guys, be prepared to pay this amount, not including a tip, when you want to get your hair cut properly, and be glad you don't live in a city where an equivalent haircut would cost at least $50. I'm happy to shell out 30 bucks for a haircut. If you want to look like a schmo, pay less and go to not-so-super-cuts or some other cheap joint. Creative Hair is for real. —Octavian

2008-12-27 16:21:08   I'm Chinese came here for my first Davis haircut, and had a great experience with Luz. She really paid attention to me and my hair throughout, and is a really sweet person. Also, I never blowdry my hair and usually hate how it looks after salons do it, waiting until washing it the next day before really seeing what the cut looks like. Luz blow-dried my hair and made it look fantastic. I would even consider having her do my hair again if I had some special reason to want fancy hair. —lingawonga

2009-01-18 22:01:20   I don't agree with the description that they are pricier than most local places. They're higher than Supercuts and places like that, but comparable to other local places, and less than the downtown salons that I checked. —DPD

2009-02-21 18:58:09   Thomas is the best! I have been afraid to have anyone color my hair since leaving Sacramento two years ago...but I fear no longer. He really understood what I wanted and he pulled it off perfectly. Truly, the best colorist I've ever had. My hair has never looked so good, and even my thrify husband agreed he is worth every single penny. In addition, my kids said I "looked pretty" when I got home. Thank you Thomas! —JAD

2009-04-25 16:12:32   I had my hair cut by Thomas at Creative Hair this morning. He is the greatest! I brought in pictures of a cut I liked, and while the model had a different type of hair than I do, he instantly knew how to make it work for my hair. He was so sweet and personable during the cut, giving me little tips and tricks throughout, and the cut itself came out great. On top of all that, I hadn't brought cash (oops), but he let me leave the store to get cash from the nearest ATM after my cut. When he didn't have change for my $40, he took my $20 and the $4 I was going to give him as a tip and told me to have a great weekend. I will definitely be returning! —ChristinaNoble

2009-05-06 14:00:35   Thomas is the best! Thats all i have got to say! He know exactly what he is doing! —Monix1987

2009-05-15 12:24:27   Great haircut everytime, been going here most of my life 20+ yrs(yes its been around that long) and never a disappointment. I've never had a problem with the price, which is a value compared to the salons downtown and Creative offers a higher quality style. An EXTREMELY sanitary and clean salon. If you want your hair done right make an appointment with KC (Karen Philleo).

2009-05-28 14:08:28   I just had my hair cut by Thomas. Not only is my haircut super cute, but Thomas was so nice, and so fun! He had me laughing so hard I had tears coming out of my eyes. I had the best time. I highly, highly recommend going to this salon and having Thomas cut your hair. I WILL be back, I wouldn't want to miss out! —RQ

2009-10-14 11:17:12   Luz is absolutely wonderful! I haven't had a good haircut and color in years, and was nervous to try a new place. Three months ago, my hair was an absolute mess and she did a wonderful job cutting, coloring and highlighting it. Six weeks later my roots had grown out, and she performed her magic again! I'm about to call to make another appointment. Luz is wonderfully sweet as well, I recommend her to all my friends. The icing on the cake is the price... I have very long, thick hair, and have never had a cut, color and highlight for under $150, until now! Thanks Luz! =) —jessicacc

2009-10-15 23:19:55   A few days ago I got a haircut from Karen. I told Karen what I didn't like about the haircuts I had been getting elsewhere and she fixed everything. The price was very good for the haircut I got. I'll definitely be coming back! —twblalock
