I asked for single process color and a bang trim. Ming was my stylist and instantly understood what color I was going for, and showed me some color samples as well. Ming and an assistant worked super efficiently, especially given that I have super thick hair. Shoutout to the woman who washed my hair too, it's not uncommon for me to leave other salons with residual soap/dye because my hair is so thick, but she washed it SO thoroughly and it felt great too! I also have to specifically mention the incredible blowout that Ming did so quickly, I got compliments on my hair later that day! He also trimmed my bangs meticulously. The final result was exactly what I was hoping for. The salon is clean and mostly no-frills, but full of stylists who all seem to be excellent at what they do, which is my type of place! The pricing is super reasonable and I would absolutely return.

Mr Um has had to move his business twice, once to Northern Blvd where he joined up with another shop and now at his current location. I thought we had lost track of him, but to our surprise last year, we received a text saying he was reopening on 41st Ave. Mr Um is a quiet man that speaks scattered English and we speak very little Korean, but we've had this long lasting customer relationship. When his shop was on Cherry Ave, he had a business partner, Mr Kim, that was as jovial as Mr Um is stoic. We lived through Mr Kim's battle with leukemia, joyful at his recovery and sadly at his passing. My son always wanted Mr Kim to cut his hair. Mr Um is a model Asian man, likes to woodwork making contraptions to use in the shop and has asked us to translate signs he would put up for his Chinese customers. Mr Um is a classic barber, though using electric clippers, does all his fine work with scissors and finishing off with the straight razor. The best thing about getting a haircut here is to catch up on all the lad mags like Maxim, FHM, Woodworking & Popular Science. We hope to be customers here for years to come.

I told him I wanted to go a bit cooler than my natural brown because I had recently done a color analysis and found out I'm a "cool winter". He immediately understood and recommended the color for me. After showing him some pics of what I wanted for my haircut, he also made appropriate recommendations. He even asked if I had any restrictions for work and if I go to the gym and need to tie my hair up. It was so lovely to talk to Jason throughout the appointment (even with my elementary Mandarin skills ) Jason's partner was also very attentive while washing and coloring my hair. The booking process was very seamless and the salon texted me to adjust my appointment. The salon itself is so nice and clean, very relaxing to be in. I'll definitely become a regular here!

This hair salon has popped up in my searches every time I look for a simple hair cut and I've…read morefinally come to try it out. My sisters and mom have been coming pretty regularly and are happy with their haircuts so I swung by to get a simple wash & cut. I walked in on a week day around 12:30-1 pm or so, without making a prior appointment. I mentioned that I had to be at a doctor's appointment by 2pm, would it be possible for them to fit me in for a haircut? They said it was doable. They were nice and thorough with washing my hair and I ended up having my hair cut by Kenny. My Mandarin Chinese is just so-so and maybe because of that they thought I could speak Cantonese haha (I do not). They offered to speak to me in English but I was like no no, let me use my mediocre Mandarin but we were able to communicate just fine lol. I was unable to judge how well they can communicate in English, for anyone who might not speak Mandarin. On that note, I'd recommend coming prepared with reference pictures! My hair length was to my chest, like maybe mid chest length and very thick. I asked for my hair to be cut about shoulder length and every time I ask this at any salon, hair stylists are always like, are you sure you want to chop off that much at once? So I conceded and had it cut a bit below shoulder length so that I could still tie my hair up in a tiny ponytail. In addition to the cut, I asked for my hair to be thinned quite a bit (imagine Hagrid level of hair, I kid) as well as a slight side bang. Just in case, I came prepared with reference pictures and showed Kenny my reference pics along with my requests before he started cutting. Kenny was pretty efficient in cutting & even styled my hair nicely before the time I had to leave by. I've paid much more elsewhere for about the same simple haircut so the prices at Hair 101 are very fair. I think my sisters usually pay base price $30-35 for a wash & cut but my base wash & cut price was $40. It could be due to the thickness & length of my hair (my sisters have thinner hair) or perhaps the person cutting my hair? My sisters said they usually have their hair cut by a lady named Even at the salon & are happy with her cutting skills as well. There's a bathroom down the hall that you can ask for the bathroom key at the desk. I paid in cash & was on my merry way in time for my appointment. Although I did ask Kenny about how busy it usually is and he mentioned that they tend to get a lot busier in the afternoons so I must have gotten lucky right before a busy period. If you're worried about waiting, I'd say make an appointment ahead of time if coming at a busy time. Overall I'm pretty happy with how my hair turned out and the price of my service, I rec! The salon is on Main Street, closer to Northern Blvd and I think on the 2nd floor.

Maybe they didn't claim the Yelp page and respond to the negative reviews because they already are catering to asian speaking clients. Other than that, the service is phenomenal. Me and my brother were taken care of and had a good experience. We aren't really from the area and the idea that men could have their hair washed in the basins before and after the haircut was very interesting. The hair wash also doubled as a sort of scalp massage and felt relaxing. Our haircuts too were also on point and looking fresh. 10/10 would recommend for a memorable experience!

I've been going to Al's for a few years now and every time I've gone I've left more than disappointed. Al is one of the most disrespectful human beings I've ever met, he is not a nice person and is very two faced. He's told me off multiple times and has given me one of the worst haircuts I've ever gotten. If it wasn't for the two Hispanic laddies in there, I would've stopped going to him years ago. Bad barber with a bad attitude. Will not recommend. read more

His cousin who works alongside with him cuts my son's hair and I think it looks really good, he gets the skin fade. There are a bunch of televisions, which keeps kids and adults occupied while you wait. The decor of the barbershop revolves around the mob (Sopranos and Scarface) so it is very masculine.
