I have been coming to Currie K for over 10 years and I still walk out of the salon feeling fantastic every single time. The stylists here care about quality cuts and hair longevity. For me, the mark of a good hairstylist is how my hair grows out and I can tell you that I am always re-falling in love with my haircut even after several weeks have gone by. In addition, I really appreciate their attention to keeping my hair healthy. They use the best products and always consider how might hair be affected in the long run. From a man's perspective, my husband will tell you that he always cut his own hair and refused to go to a hairstylist until he came to Currie K. After Tim, one of the stylists here started to cut his hair, he had a whole new perspective and an even fresher look ;) There's many great hair stylists out there and I have tried various salons from Aveda to other Ktown salons, but the consistency of quality hair cuts and hair care is what has kept me coming back over the years. No matter what life event I have coming my way, I know one thing I never need to worry about is my hair :) read more

I've been a customer here for nearly a year, but I've never left with a haircut that matches the photos I've shown Tim, the hairstylist. He cuts the hair with his preference. No matter what photos I've shown him. My hair often ended up looking uneven, and it felt like he's more focused on himself than on taking care of his customers. Even when there's water dripping after a shampoo or a bunch of hair on my face from the haircut, he doesn't seem to care. Tim often advises me to arrive early for my appointments, but I consistently end up waiting longer than expected. Their mid-aged Korean lady is always busy chatting with her friends. Instead of allowing customers to sit and wait inside, she had me wait outside bc 'her friends' were taking all the seats. Don't even expect any kind of service at this place. It's funny how they were never on time with appointments but no apologies what so ever. This guy named Tim seems to only care about his 'big clients' who tip him a ridiculous amount, like 25%. Honestly, I don't quite understand why I should tip for a haircut when I'm already paying for the service. I've been tipping at least 20%. I started with 15% at first and then moved to 20%, but no matter how much I tip, I haven't seen any improvement in the service quality. This guy Tim needs to be more organized himself. He's selfish and all about himself. He doesn't even say thank you. How about care about your customers at least fairly or don't accept ones. Not coming back. A mediocre small shop placed inside. Check on their one-star reviews. Customers don't lie. read more

The owner attitude was not acceptable. She continuously complained my pervious hair cut and perm. I had to trim again after visit this place because the volum is not even pay $100 short hair cut less than 20 mins. I asked her direct phone number for further appointment then she said she is not take new customers usally. Still I don't understand why she said that to me. It was worse visit in K town visit. I wish she can grow as better professional manship. It was shame. read more

Exceptional service! Took my 5 year old to get her first haircut ever and she loved it! read more

Currie K Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Meant to write a review a while ago and forgot but recently found pictures of an extremely bad job from last year. Warning this place doesn't use olaplex and fried my hair. I wanted to go blonde and it came out damaged orange. I ended up cutting off all my hair because it was so bad. I normally don't write reviews but the reminder of how I felt makes me want to warn others from coming here. read more

Currie K Studio is my life saver. They are very knowledgeable and know what they're doing. I came here with a super damaged hair due to over bleaching, half of my hair fell out. Kelly gave me scalp treatment plus a trim/hair cut and I can already feel the difference after one session. Came back a few days later for my hair extension with Kelly. She is very patient and attention to details! Thank you so much read more

Great hair stylist Kelly. Does hair and makeup and makes u feel beautiful. She's a bit shy and timid, but really cute once you get to know her. She has lots of talent and I can really trust her with my hair. The last time I got my hair and makeup done by her, I got lots of great compliments. Posted a picture on tips. Love you Kelly!!! Btw, This salon accepts walk-in's. BUT appointments are HIGHLY recommended. When they get busy... they are BUSY. And personally I would like to go when they say they're not over booked then walk in when they are. Especially if it's for a special occasion. read more

I've been coming to this hair salon for the last 20 years and I know there is no one better to do my hair. Absolute the best service and Currie will read your mind! She will get you the hair style you want perfectly! Love it here. Even all 3 of my kids are now coming to get their hair done. They will not be happy to go anywhere else! read more

I never leave reveiws on yelp and just read other reveiws for myself, but I was compelled to write one because of the awesome outcome. I'm a guy and like any other guy, we get haircuts once a month to get that nice fade in shape. I've been in 90% of all haircut places ranging from $5 to $35.. and found this place to be the best. I mean, yeah you "get what you pay for" but in this case, people with sense of style and technical scissor skills cannot be measured nominally. I usually get the ordinary "2 block cut" and have my sides really short.. and a lot of hair stylists cannot accomplish with satisfaction. I usually close my eyes until its done bc I look like a freaking mushroom.. This place is highly recommended. I kept my eyes open and saw the crazy transformation of my hair.. everytime I look in the mirror... I get surprised on how well the cut is. You know for guys, our makeup is hair and money. Nice hair=happy face. Its usually $30 for complicated hairstyle but for simple haircuts like mine.. its $25. I got mine from kelly kim. She is awesome! read more

Currie K Studio - Hairstylist kelly kim is ze best! - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If you want random people complimenting on how your hair looks, if you want a perm that does not damage your hair, hair stylist who is SERIOUS about her job and is super professional, no sweet talk nor kissing up but is straight forward with your wild ideas for the hair cut, does not push you to buy products, and if you don't mind paying 10~20% extra for your cuts Currie's the one you want to go see. she's the only hair stylist~ yet has five assistants who massage your hair, get you coffee, plump cushion and magazines to read. She uses top of the line products, does superb on hair cuts and the best perms! when my curiosity triggers I venture out to try the new comers in K town but i immediately come back to Currie. its weird how all my friends notice the difference in the bangs. she does magic with those scissors! read more

I love Currie K. I'm someone who loves to change hair styles frequently. I dye it, cut it, perm it, put extensions, etc.. But, I can only do this at Currie K. Studio because my hair never gets damaged from her salon! I love her cuts and she always knows exactly how I want it. I can never go to another hair stylist. Plus, she always recommends the best hair products that will always save my hair from the torturous things I do to it like perm and dye. I highly recommend Currie K Salon. Slightly pricier than other hair stylist but worth it! read more

I love Currie!!! She is the BEST!!!! I've been going to her for haircuts and many other services for 15+ years now!!! That's a LONG TIME!!! She really frames the face and I'm always looking quite fabulous when I leave!!!!! read more

Aside from being a bit shy and spaced out my first time at Currie K Salon.... considering I'd come in just after work. I really liked the hairstylist I met. Tim Kim is very much like a sculptor... a sculptor of hair!!! I enjoyed watching the way his hands were very gentle and fluid in motion as he trimmed and styled my initially butchered, curly hair. It had once been long and luscious, until a certain individual completely hacked it into mayhem. Not only did Tim completely "fix" my hair, but I've gotten so many compliments on it since walking out of the salon. Tim really knows how to stylize hair according to facial shape and - as in my case- momentary situations of misfortune. I can't wait to grow it back out! Thank you, Tim! :) I will most definitely recommend you to my friends! :) read more

If you want hair that looks "better" as they grow out, THIS IS THE PLACE. I don't know what she does, but when she cuts your hair, your hair grows out the right way, the better way, the easy-to-manage way. I love her, my sister loves her, and even my mom loves her because really is the best at "cutting" your hair. It does take longer than some other places as Currie & another guy are the only hairstylists there, but it is worth the wait. Yes, it is pricier than some other hair salons, but again, it is worth it as your hair will look better as it grows out! read more

Best hair salon in Koreatown, Los Angeles. Could not be happier with the service and professionalism they provide. Its like going back to super competitive hair salons Seoul, and getting the most amazing service you have ever received. They know hair, and will make sure you look your best no matter the genetics. Girlfriend went here too and loved it. They stay updated with the latest trends, and make sure you make an appointment! read more

I was visiting from San Francisco and wanted to get an amazing haircut because people rave about Koreatown. Boy, was I wrong. I don't know if it's because this place is filled with fake reviews from friends or what, but it convinced me enough to trust them and give them a shot. The first experience I had with them, my appointment was delayed for at least 25-30 minutes because there seems to be only one stylist who's multitasking between a few customers. There's other staff members there, but it seems like there's really just this one main one who has to cut everyone's hair. She makes the whole experience rushed as she's trying to get through with everybody's appointment. I asked for a trim, but it kept getting shorter and shorter as the stylist couldn't get it straight and kept having to readjust the length. I was really upset and talked to the manager/owner but she just gave me attitude with no form of consolation. I was really shocked at how glorified and RUDE these LA people come off. They seem to have a huge ego and won't admit to any fault. Never coming here ever again. read more

I'm disappointed. First of all, I had to wait 40 min until the main owner of the salon was ready for my appointment. Second, I got a perm and it felt like it took forever. Actually it did, total salon time was close to 5 hours. Third, after my perm, the town assistants dried my hair... But still left it wet. Absolutely no styling done and I looked like I got a perm straight from the 90s. The main stylist Currie didn't even look at the final result or add anything. All I heard her say was put in oil into my hair. I am so so sooooooo upset at the results. Oh by the way she had the nerve to ask me if I had gained weight or something. I've been to this salon previously on several occasions. Ugh! read more

Currie has a really good eye. I am pretty indecisive with my hair so in the end I tell her... I trust you, do what you think will be best for my face shape. And she always does a great job. That says a lot because many other hair salons I would give instructions and end up walking out frustrated and pissed. Not only will Currie listen but she also has great taste and a good eye. Love this place. read more

This is the best hair salon in Koreatown if not in LA. Currie has been cutting my hair for about ten years now and she's getting better and better. Believe me....my hair is not really easy to cut. I don't think people realize how difficult it is to cut a man's hair that is receding as time goes by. In particular, I am amazed how my hair looks better as they grow out. I highly recommend it, particularly for men that is losing hair (embarrassing, but true). Obviously, i am told that Currie also does wonders for woman's hair styling. : ) read more

Kelly is the best!!! I moved to OC and I find myself constantly coming back to LA just to have Kelly do my hair! I only trust her!

I came here twice now. I used to have the same hairstyle for years. After hearing some good reviews of Kelly, I just knew she would be able to change things up for me. Everyone really liked my new looks! That's why I came back here again. She's very kind. She taught me how to use hair wax for styling. read more

I've been coming here for a long time, I only go to Currie! She's great, she has an eye, a good style, and she knows exactly how to give you a good look. I've brought several of my friends from out of town to her and they all have great experiences! read more

Great hair cuts! I just wish they didn't look so pissed off all the time... I like to think it's because they are so focused on cutting great hair it just appears that way. read more

Currie knows what she's doing. I'm never disappointed but it's a bit pricey..

Tim and Currie are great stylist. I am so glad I found this place to get my hair done. Tim is one of the few stylist who truly listens to what you want instead of doing what he wants! My daughters love him and My family and I drive an hour to get our hair done but it is so worth it!!! read more

This review is for Kelly and its a pleasure to say that this is also my first. I had to take my time and create an account as I was truly impressed with her work ethic and knowledge of cutting hair. Considering that i had spent money to cut my hair about a week ago and that the cut was miserably wrong, Kelly was amazing at fixing it. She was very patient and listened to my opinion on what i wanted my hair to look like. Needless to say, I will definitely be a returning client even if its a little far for me. Thank you, Kelly. read more

Currie k is a fantastic hair salon for anybody looking for a fresh and crispy haircut. The hair salon welcomes girls and guys alike because both female and male workers are on standby to suit different peoples preferences. This place is a must go!!!!!!!!! read more

I've been going to the same salon for the past 10 years. I recently moved to LA and desperately need a haircut and highlights. I was nervous, but Kelly really did an amazing job. Currie and Kelly were so welcoming and even though I don't speak a lick of Korean, I felt extremely comfortable there. At multiple points, I was lucky enough to have Currie and Kelly working on my hair simultaneously to make my trip to the salon as fast as possible. They use high quality products and a very modern interior. Found my new LA salon!! Thank you!!! read more
