If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would…read more I feel a responsibility to share my experience with Christie, as it was not only professionally disappointing but also personally distressing. While my initial appointments went relatively well, everything changed when I came in with some minor hair matting. Rather than responding with care or professionalism, Christie's demeanor and service took a drastic turn once it became clear that this appointment wouldn't lead to the usual $1,000 every three months for Keratin strand replacements --extensions which, for the record, should not fall out prematurely if applied correctly. Instead of taking the time to properly detangle the matted extensions, Christie cut both my bonded strands and my healthy, natural hair--so severely that I was left with an uneven, choppy, almost bald appearance. I have used Keratin extensions for over 20 years and have never had this happen. Her application technique appears rushed and diluted; the bonds fell out far earlier than they should have, likely due to minimal adhesive and reduced service time--both of which seem designed to maximize her profit, not the client's satisfaction. Because my hair was now too short for Keratin (as a direct result of her poor handling), Christie convinced me to purchase weft extensions. What she failed to disclose was that these wefts are bought at cost from her brother-in-law--a clear conflict of interest that was never communicated to me. Instead, she charged me a 150% markup for thin, poor-quality hair that was see-through and visibly inadequate. This lack of transparency isn't just unethical; it's appalling. What made the experience even more humiliating was how she handled it in real time. Rather than speak to me with professionalism, she continually left the room to vent to her coworkers about "the situation." This behavior was profoundly unprofessional, degrading, and traumatic. I sat in the chair mortified, knowing I was being discussed behind my back while my hair was being hacked off. When I got home and realized just how poor the weft quality was, I immediately contacted her, offered to return the unused hair, and asked for a refund. She refused to take accountability or offer any form of remedy. I was left with damaged hair, a depleted bank account, and a complete sense of betrayal. For anyone considering QUALITY Keratin extensions: they are a bonded product and, if applied with skill and integrity, should last 4-6 months--not begin falling out in weeks. Christie's approach seems to cut corners to ensure repeat visits, regardless of the harm it causes. I cannot overstate how devastating this experience was. The emotional toll of losing my hair--combined with the unethical practices, lack of transparency, and demeaning treatment--makes this the worst salon experience I've ever had. I would strongly caution anyone considering services here to think twice.

Christie is what I like to call a hair magician. My natural hair is EXTREMELY fine, flat, and hard…read moreto manage. I told Christie my main goal was volume, not length, and she delivered! She recommended I go with sew in wefts - she did three rows for me, which is the perfect amount of hair! Christie - thank you so much! It is the FIRST time I've actually loved my hair. I've since been back from my initial install for two more re-ties. Basically moving the extension weft back up to the root. I am literally in and out in less than 20 minutes. It is so easy and my daily maintenance is practically nothing! Just wash & brush really well, and braid it loosely before sleeping. Bonus - I can't even feel them! No pain, discomfort, or itchy-ness. Christie is a pleasure to spend time with and genuinely cares about her clients. If you are on the fence, go in for a consultation- you won't regret it! I also used her clip in extensions she has for my wedding. She does a great job not only matching the color, but the texture and weight for a seamless, natural look. She also cares about the health of your natural hair to prevent breakage. If you want length, volume, or just more hair to play with, Christie is your girl!

My son was getting married, and I wanted my hair professionally colored as I normally do my own. I had a haircut recently, but I wasn't pleased with my bangs. So was incredible! The color turned out so beautiful! The way she explained everything told me she was a pro. She also knew right away what to do with my bangs. I went to my stylist, who charges A LOT, twice within a few weeks, and she couldn't fix them for me. Watching So was such a joy. I felt completely confident in her hands. I had instant trust in her skill. Once she got a hold of that blow dryer, it was a show like no other! She was so gentle with my 58-year-old hair! I didn't have to ask her to be. She used her fingers with such great technique, and when she got the brush going, it was mesmerizing. I want to return to her. I can only imagine how great she must be at haircuts and highlights, which I plan to get from her in the future.

When I looked in the mirror afterward, my hair was so bad I didn't even feel comfortable going outside. I was embarrassed to be seen in public, which is the exact opposite of what a salon visit should do. I was also stuck in that chair far longer than any normal appointment should take, all while my stylist, Marissa, seemed more invested in whatever was on her phone than actually doing her job. I felt ignored, forgotten, and completely unimportant. To make things even worse, there was an unpleasant smell coming from Marissa while she worked on me, which made the whole situation even more uncomfortable. I genuinely expected basic professionalism and hygiene, and this was nowhere near it. I walked out furious that I paid for this experience. Please, please, please save your money. I will absolutely never return.

I didn't realize how I'd given up overall on my appearance and finally getting hair that I REALLY enjoy picked me up in beautiful ways I didn't expect.

I've always wanted to check out this hair salon because every time I eat at Arisu Korean BBQ, I…read morenotice it nearby! I happened to need my hair done for an event, so I decided to walk in and see if they could take me. Luckily, they were able to accommodate me right away. I showed the hairstylist an inspiration photo of the updo I wanted, and she was able to recreate it beautifully while adding her own touches to make the style work for me. The hairstyle was actually pretty intricate, with lots of curls, rolls, and bobby pinning needed to create the updo, but she managed to knock it out in less than an hour! She started by curling all of my hair and then, with so much attention to detail, carefully pinned and shaped each curl into a beautiful high updo bun. I was impressed watching everything come together because there was so much detail involved in getting all of the curls perfectly placed and pinned. To finish the look, she even added a pretty flower hairpiece on the side, complimentary, which was such a sweet touch and really completed the entire look. I was so happy with how my hair turned out, especially considering that I brought in such a complicated inspiration photo. I'll definitely be coming back for future hair styling, and I'd love to give them a try for my haircuts as well!

I deleted my previous review for this business last year, because I felt pressured to write a…read more5-star review. The owner directly asked me to leave one for her at the end of my appointment. The only other person I can recall that has done that was patronizing at best. First off, I felt very uncomfortable during my time here because she kept trying to push and sell her products. My mother originally had scheduled a hair appointment, and I accompanied her and ended up being a walk-in. Apparently, she only takes 3-4 customers a day because her hours are limited, compared to other Korean hair salons. I should have just been stubborn and refused. I didn't want a haircut, but felt coerced to appease. I asked for a straight, clean cut, and it was not only choppy and layered, but also messy. She wanted us to buy hair care items (conditioner and hair oil) and placed them on the counter, as if we had no option but to pay for them. It left a bad taste in my mother's mouth because it's not like she was offering it--it was more of a must. The salesperson tactic she put on was one of the more demeaning customer service interactions of my life. She boasts about her experience in Korea with celebrities and also apparently is a makeup artist. However, I was unhappy and super dissatsified with how it turned out. She said she normally charges $35 for cutting bangs/fringes, yet she would do it free of charge. Like who does that? I ended up DIY-ing my own hair later at home because I couldn't stand the way it looked. It was super awkward because she ended taking pictures for me, and it was the strangest photoshoot session ever. Then, she somehow ended up convincing my mum to buy her hand-painted tissue boxes to pick up at another scheduled visit. At that point, I was so zoned out and ready to leave. I'm pretty sure my mother had zero interest in doing any more business with her, other than receiving the hair care, and the wooden boxes look like crappy work not even aesthetically-appealing enough to sell on a dreadful site like Etsy. We won't be returning. There are plenty of other Korean hair salons that are more affordable and will treat you like a human being, with better skills.
