Well. I finally decided that it was time to cut my four-year-old son's curly hair for the first…read moretime. I love his coils, and I'd put it off for as long as I could. However, his curls were making him hot, and my husband and I agreed that I was time. We'd always said by the time he was four, so...! I finally searched Yelp for curly hair cut, and I landed on PREP. I wanted someone who could do biracial curly hair and someone who was good with kids. I wanted a salon experience for my son's first haircut. PREP had great reviews and Maria was mentioned multiple times. I Googled and found the website, and booking was super easy. The payment was also done online. PREP is located in the Town & Country shopping center, and while the center is busy, it's perfect for a haircut. You can run errands before or after your appointment! Anyway, we entered PREP AT 11:27. I saw reviews that being late was a big no, so we hustled to make sure we did not arrive past 11:30. The salon is clean. They have multiple chairs at at least two shampoo bowls. Our son was a bit hesitant and nervous, so he was shy and started to act up just a bit. Maria had a tablet on deck and that piqued his interest. We talked about the look we wanted to achieve and Maria gave some suggestions. I almost had a heart attack when his ponytail was cut, but I survived! Maria is calm, patient, and easy to work with. She cut his hair and then shampooed, conditioned, and styled his hair. When we asked for a few areas to be fixed, she obliged. I'm super happy with this experience, and I've found our go-to spot. Thank you, Maria!

I'm very happy with my haircut by LuJia!…read more When I walked in, the first thing I noticed was that the place smelled very good. Since LuJia does not do dyes or other chemical treatment, there was no burned hair or chemical smell, which I usually dread going in. I asked for my very thick hair to be shortened and thinned to a low-maintenance haircut. LuJia suggested a v-shape cut, which was great for me because despite cutting it short, there is enough length to still tie it up. She also did a great job of thinning it, and my head feels a lot lighter! LuJia is very nice, and accommodating when I wanted to change my originally scheduled appointment. We had a great conversation during my cut. Unrelated to hair, I love that she uses reusable towels instead of paper towels in the bathroom, which is good for the environment. I will definitely be coming back!

She always takes the time to listen and somehow knows exactly what will look best. On top of that, she's just such a joy to spend time with.

My daughter received services from Natalie for highlights and root correction. I was charged around…read more$600 for the service. The appointment lasted less than two hours, which is significantly shorter than the typical time required for this type of work. While Natalie was polite and professional in her demeanor, the results did not match expectations. The highlights were very subtle, and the roots remained noticeably dark. My daughter initially said she liked the result, but later clarified she felt uncomfortable expressing dissatisfaction in the moment. I reached out to Natalie after the appointment to address the outcome. She stated that the highlights would become more noticeable over time, which has not been the case. It has now been two months, and there has been no meaningful change in the results. I attempted to follow up again but did not receive a response. Given the cost and the minimal visible improvement, this was a disappointing experience.

I was looking for a hair refresh and wanted to lighten my hair/try out a balayage again after a few years of growing out my hair. She made the 5.5 hours fly by so quickly, was very easy to talk to (we yapped about so much!), and told me what she was doing in her process to put my mind at ease bc I told her I had trust issues after my last cut I had at a different place near me. I'm happy to say I think I found my new hair lady and am so glad I don't have to go to downtown sf. I did respond to her call for balayage hair models, so I received the service at a lower cost, BUT I will gladly pay for her rates in the future. I plan keep going back to her for cuts, touch ups, and colors. Glad I found someone who can take care of my hair cuts and color for my wedding and beyond! The salon was also very cute, clean, bright, and it was nice that they had coffee and water for customers.

The haircut I received from Toy was well-priced and adequate, but it was not quite what I…read morerequested. Allow me to explain. Upon phoning Toy, I asked about the cost of a haircut. She initially started a bit higher, but quickly dropped the price to $45 with a shampoo. I brought in a front-facing photo of the cut I wanted (created by AI, using a photo of my face). Upon arriving, I immediately showed her the image and asked if she could do the cut. Without examining my hair, she said she could do so. We proceeded to the hair washing station, where she did a good job, including a gentle scalp massage. Since I was cutting my hair short (from a bob), she repeatedly (at least five times) said that it would be good to have an easy hairstyle without any hassle. Each time, I agreed that I wanted a wash-and-go hairstyle, where I didn't need to dry or style it. (Toy is rather talkative, which some would consider a negative. I thought it was neutral.) When we got to the chair, I pointed to the areas where my hair was receding and said that I wanted those areas covered with hair. She acknowledged my request. I held the photo in my hand, at an angle where she could see it, throughout the cut. I was surprised that Toy cut my hair with a razor instead of shears. I now understand that this can be a better option for pixie cuts, but I wasn't expecting it. Moreover, whenever she pulled my hair taut, it was a bit uncomfortable to feel the razor tugging at my hair. I could not see the progress she was making as I had removed my eyeglasses. Toy showed me the back of my hair with a mirror a few times, requiring me to put on my glasses to see it. (The back looked fine.) I did not get to see the sides of my head nor the front, since my glasses were off when she was working on them. I did have my glasses on for a short while, but the lighting in the salon is sub-optimal, so it does not allow for the patron to get a good view of what the cut looks like. Near the end of the cut, Toy twice asked me about the hair that sat on my forehead. It seemed longer than the photo I had given her, so I said that it was too long. She cut it shorter each time, but I could NOT see (looking directly in front on me) that she had not left any hair hanging over the sides of my hairline where it recedes and is turning gray. (I thought she would do this, since I had requested it initially.) Consequently, I do not have enough hair to cover those areas. This is my biggest disappointment. I wish she had left some of the hair on my forehead pushed back along my hair line and long enough to obscure those areas. The other disappointment I have is that the hair on the crown of my head is pushed up while I sleep, leaving me with a number of strands shooting straight up when I get out of bed. Consequently, I need to "correct" this part in the morning with water and a comb. However, throughout the day, some hair still sticks up. (I don't know enough about haircuts to say how this might have been avoided.) Toy did take a photo of the back of my hair at the end of the cut, and she sent it to my phone. The back of my hair would get 4 stars, as I thought she did a good job of cutting it. Unfortunately, the sides of my hair and the front do not match the photo as much as I would like. The initial reactions I've had to my haircut have included, "I like your haircut," "I love your hair," "You cut your hair," and "It shows more of the gray." I think the general cut suits me, but some of the details could have been better. Again, overall, I think the cut was adequately done and was worth what I paid for it.
