I am a bit disappointed with my experience with Carl today. My appointment was at 12:40, but he was still finishing with his previous client until around 12:53. Honestly, I don't mind waiting because I could see he was being very detailed and careful with that client's hair. However, my experience felt very different. When he asked what I wanted, I explained that I wanted a mullet style -- keeping the back long, cleaning up the sides, and trimming just a little on top. Unfortunately, he ended up cutting the back shorter than I wanted, and it seemed like there may have been some misunderstanding about the style. I didn't say much at that point because the hair had already been cut. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also mentioned that the left side looked uneven or a little too short to me, but he responded that there was "too much hair."[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've honestly never had a hairstylist say that before, and I personally didn't feel like my hair was overly thick on the sides. Another client arrived during my appointment, and after that, the haircut started to feel rushed. My hair wasn't washed afterward, and the styling product was applied a bit messily. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What upset me most wasn't even the haircut itself -- hair grows back -- but more the feeling of being rushed compared to the attention given to the previous client.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been to B SIDE U twice before with JJ, and I've always had a great experience with him. He was thorough, never rushed, and always made sure everything was done properly, including washing my hair after the cut. Because of today's experience, I would personally rate my experience with JJ 10/10, but today's appointment with Carl would be closer to 4/10.

It's was an amazing haircut! I came in without knowing what I wanted, but Joanna had great suggestions for me. I got the layered hairstyle and it worked perfect. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My friends and colleagues liked it very much too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This new hairstyle has lifted my mood every day. Absolutely recommended. And I love how passionate Joanna is about hairstyling. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's rare to find people who are indeed talented and enthusiastic about their jobs[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I had long hair and wanted to donate it to CWHL which accepts hair with chemical treatment. I was…read morelooking for a local hair stylist for the new cut abs saw other yelper's pictures for Cindy's review and decided to give it a try. Tell you what, with the price you pay for, you will not regret!! Cindy is a very nice and friendly hair stylist. She spent a lot of time cutting my hair and trimming it again the next day to make sure that I'm satisfied with my hairstyle. She was very detailed oriented and would recommend hairstyle or length based on my face shape, and her previous experiences. My husband is not a big fan of short hairs, but he said he likes it. ;) By the way, she is by appointments only. Make sure you call her for your appointment first.

It was about 3:30pm when I came in, and no one else was there, which I Iliked since that allowed Ched to take his time with my hair. However, no sooner I did a check in and got into the chair for shampooing, three other women decided to show up and wanting their hair done too, lol! Hahaha, I brought Ched extra business on a slow Friday afternoon ;) Ched gave me a great scalp massage while shampooing my hair. After he applied conditioner, it got slippery and water sprayed all over. Luckily, I I wasn't soaked, and Ched was very apologetic from beginning to end, how sweet! :) Even though 3 women came in, Ched took his time with me, and didn't rush through. He asked me how I wanted my part, and covered up my lil hole on my top crown. He made my curls tight since my hair was baby fine and topped it off with Suave brand gel hairspray. My curls were awesome, and they held nicely throughout my friend's bday party. Best of all, when I came home and brushed it out before showering, it still looked amazing! *Sighs* had to brush it out otherwise, it'll look like a rat's nest in the morning, lol! The wash and curl took no more than 25 mins to do. Cost was $20 (not including tip). My curls were tight and intact with my baby fine hair. I did notice that unlike Drybar, Ched doesn't put mousse in there first, so some parts of curls were crunchy, but thank goodness not fried. However, my curls held up nicely, and so I was happy :) Located in the same plaza as Game Stop, Arby's and 99 Ranch Market in Alhambra. I would definitely come by again for a hair cut or wash and curl again, yay! :)

I took my friend here for an appointment with May, and she absolutely nailed it!…read more My friend came in with long, damaged hair and wanted a short pixie cut. She was nervous the entire time because it's a difficult style to get right, but May did an amazing job. The haircut turned out beautifully, and my friend received so many compliments afterward. I was so happy for her! The studio is clean, has a great atmosphere, and the music creates a relaxing vibe. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend May!

We had a wonderful experience at Envy Hair…read more My partner was with Victor. He cut his hair quickly and needed little instruction to execute our desired cut (short fade on the sides and trimmed on the sides). I got my hair cut by Gether. He was very gentle with my hair (combing and blow drying on low heat). I also appreciated that he examined his work periodically throughout and check with me if it was to my liking (length, thinning, etc.). Prices were very reasonable. We were charged $45 for my partner's cut and $60 for mine. They completed both cuts within 1.5hrs and it also comes with a shampoo. I'd highly recommend this place!

Tina, the manager/owner, is still my go-to person but I saw the finished work of other stylists and they were good too. Definitely recommend this place -- one small thing: you may have to wait a while, even with appointment.

Tldr: Don't get your hair done by TONY…read more I got my digital perm done about a week ago have been debating whether or not to write a review. However, this whole appointment and the end result was too unpleasant for me to ignore. Tony was the one who did my perm and Tony was unprofessional. Please avoid having Tony do your hair. To start, Tony showed up to the appointment 15 minutes late (and his coworker was telling him his 11 o'clock was there) and then seemed very disinterested in trying to get the service started. Then, after briefly glancing at my reference photo and finding his own- Tony told me that my hair needed to go shorter and proceeded to give the most careless haircut ever. Total hack job. During the perm, Tony rolled each hair extremely tight that he even had to pause to massage his hands. The overly tight rolls bruised my scalp and Tony was so careless with placing the spacers between the rollers and scalp that I actually was tearing up because the pain was so unbearable. And even though I mentioned that it hurt Tony lowkey just ignored it?? To top it off- Tony ran out of rollers HALFWAY throughout the process so I had to wait with the crazy tight rollers for around 30 minutes (I am not exaggerating). And Tony's not the one that informed me about it- Tony's nice coworkers were the ones that continued to check in and keep me updated. Also, the whole salon had 3 digital perms going on (including mine) and they kept grabbing the rollers coming off from another client and directly using it on my hair. I don't know if that's normal but I thought every tool was supposed to be disinfected prior to using it on another client. If the digital perm turned out the way I wanted- I would not be so upset but the curls were MUCH MUCH tighter than I asked for. But mostly the experience sucked. And it sucks because I had come here previously for a regular perm and had such a great experience that I trusted the salon for another appointment. I will not be visiting this salon again. (And clearly I am very upset towards TONY for screwing up my hair and being a total incompetent asshole throughout the whole appointment. Also, maybe you wouldn't lose YOUR VAPE IN THE FUCKING BIN OF DIGITAL HAIR ROLLERS if you weren't too busy vaping while doing your client's hair.)
