    By the talented Cindy Pham!
    Bel L.

    Ending 2024 with good vibes. My hair was dead. I originally planned on going blonde again but CINDY recommended not to because my hair needed to heal lol. I trust her opinions and advice completely. She has never done me wrong. So I told her pick a color and cut my hair however short you think. I trust you. And yes girl! Brought me back to life once again CINDY is saving lives lol. Thanks again for our annual end of the year cut & color. This revival is just what I needed to start the new year.

    Cindy did it again! After giving birth to my daughter 6 years ago, hair maintenance was the last priority on my mind and decided to go dark. Few months I decided slowly to revert back and I'm loving it! Cindy continues to amaze me with her technique and her way of giving my self confidence and loving myself again! Hit it up my girl Cindy!!! She is truly amazing!

    Final result, roots colored and added partial brown highlights done by Cindy.

    Cindy did an amazing job with my hair color! I've been using box dye for years and decided to finally start getting it professionally colored in time for my wedding in a couple of months. She covered my roots, added partial brown highlights, and trimmed my hair, and I couldn't be happier with the result! I was a bit nervous how the highlights would come out since my hair has been box dyed but Cindy worked her magic and they turned out perfect. It took about 3 hours total. Cindy and I had already texted beforehand about what I was looking for so she was quick to get started when I arrived. I definitely recommend her services!

    Cindy did it again! We spent many years blonde and now we are experimenting with darker tones. Partial highlight with chestnut brown toner. I highly recommend you book with Cindy!

    Ombré balayage with no bleach! ( I have thin hair) and my hair is brown.

    I usually don't write reviews but I thought to share my experience since it took me a minute to choose a saloon based on people's reviews and pictures! This is the first time I dye my hair and Cindy did a great job! She was straight and honest with me from the beginning because I didn't want to use bleach so she gave me a heads up that my hair might not get as light as in the picture I showed her and even so I got very satisfying results. Cindy was also very friendly and welcoming, I will definitely return to this saloon!

    Healthy looking cut

    Aleen previously performed Japanese straightening treatment and it was as expected! Awesome! Today it was the annual haircut, I requested to cut short just as long as I had could tie my hair back for sports. She worked her magic, off went four inches! My 'do is ready for the new year and looking healthy and natural!

    Aleen did it again! I came back in for a haircut and this time I decided to go another route and get face framing bangs, and a long bob! Aleen was amazing yet again, she never fails to get my hair looking so beautiful! She was very thorough and gave me advice on taking care of my hair to not damage it. She's very honest and really cares about her clients which is what keeps me coming back. She was realistic with me and told me that this particular cut is pretty high maintenance but she gave me the advice I needed to keep it looking nice. The price is also very reasonable for the amount of work she puts in! (The picture is the next day hair after a very windy walk, so it is a bit messy but I didn't take any puctures after the cut )

    After Yuko Japanese Straight Perm. Thank you, Aleen!
    Chibi F.

    Aleen continues to amaze me. I am Asian with thick, frizzy and semi-wavy hair: As in helmet/George Washington level. My hair is so frizzy that people think it's damaged when it's not. So sad. Even after Aleen thins out my hair during my regular haircuts, I still need to blow dry and flat iron it every day and avoid moisture like the wicked witch. It takes me 45 minutes just to look presentable. I've always pined for a Japanese straight perm but avoided it due to the sheer cost in SF. One day, I just asked Aleen and I was surprised at how reasonable her shop is. I bit the bullet and scheduled my appointment. Each night before my perm, I would fantasize about running through a field with the wind blowing through my shiny, silky and straight tresses and me jumping up and doing splits midair..my appointment day couldn't come soon enough. I took a day off of work for my appointment and endured the 5-hour process. Luckily, I brought my laptop so the time just flew by. Aleen worked hard on my hair, explained each step to me and I watched as she meticulously addressed what seemed like each strand of my hair. At the end of the process, my hair was flatter than I have ever seen. I could not stop staring in the mirror and petting my hair!! But will it stay flat or revert back to George Washington after I shampoo it? Aleen told me not to wash or get my hair wet for the first 24 hours. OK, I was actually really paranoid and didn't wash my hair for 4 days (pretty gross). Today I washed my hair and holy shikes...it is FLAT, silky and shiny!!! I'm just kicking myself for waiting this long to get the Japanese straight perm! Thank you Aleen! P.S. I uploaded BEFORE and AFTER photos so you all can admire my helmet hair.

    Digital perm!

    The whole experience with Aleen was awesome! If you're on the fence about coming, this is your sign to book your appointment! I booked this appointment a few weeks ago from Denver and Aleen was so responsive. She asked me to text her pictures of my hair and reference pictures for what I wanted prior so she could determine if my hair was even a right fit for a digital perm. There wasn't any parking in the lot and she paid for the meter in front of the salon for me! All the COVID protocols were followed and I felt very safe in there. The whole process took about 4 hours including a hair trim. I've never gotten a perm before and she walked me through the whole process and answered all my questions. Aleen got new rollers from Korea for a looser curl and it was exactly what I was looking for. Glad I could be the first to try them out! She mentioned the curl will loosen after it sets so the picture might be a bit deceiving since it's fresh!

    After my cut! Cindy has skills it looks amazing.
    Monica K.

    So fun to get a haircut by Cindy. She has a wonderful personality and will definitely make you laugh. Her hair cutting techniques are on point! My hair has never looked or felt healthier. I was way overdo for a haircut and most of the bleach from a previous hairdresser is finally cut out of my hair. Thank you so much :)

    Madi G.

    Great job on my hair! They fit me in the very next day and helped me say goodbye to over 8 inches of hair! Cute environment, sweet stylists, and great location!

He does walk in cuts and color, but I know my hair is very very slow to bleach so went with his next appointment. Very responsive, confirmed all the details as he worked. His cutting is so fast and so smooth, you can tell he's a pro with many years experience. I was worried about the color because most barber shops don't have a lot of vivid colors to work with, but you can see it came out vibrant! He has mild difficulties in English but was easy to understand and work with, and I don't speak a word of his language. Cantonese I think? Possibly also Mandarin, I thought I heard a different language with a different customer. My hair lifted weird at one point, my last dye job migrated up into the virgin hair I think, but he was able to even things out and get even, vivid coverage. Amazing, definitely coming back. A word to anyone not used to barber shops (and a response to one of the complaints) barbers cut other people's hair while you're bleaching/ dyeing. My hair took over an hour to bleach (that's normal for my hair) I wouldn't want him standing there making no money just to watch me sit. He checked in all the time, kept an eye on my bleach and color, I was never forgotten. I see complaints that he's cutting while you're sitting - duh. He should, unless you want to pay him "watch you and not working" money, that's a weird expectation. The whole process took over 3 hours, only 10-15 was the cut, bleaching just takes a long time in my hair even at 40 volume. My hair feels very soft still, and he wanted to charge something in the 200s, which is insanely affordable and way lower than he deserves. I didn't see anyone coming in for more salon/feminine cuts so I can't speak to that, but if you want a traditionally masculine/ barber type cut, he's the best and does a great job.

My mom recommended her beloved hair stylist Maggie. I've been to my fair share of cheap, Chinese, little salons ever since I was a little kid and the results were usually bad. So you can understand my apprehension about going to Maggie. Well, I'm glad I did! I love the result and everyone else I know loves it too! If you don't know what kind of a hair cut to get, she'll suggest a cute one for you. She explained how she was going to cut my hair so that it would frame my long oval face nicely. I had waist long hair which she layered and curled. The extremely small salon had 3 chairs for hair, 2 chairs for nails, and a small back room for waxing. There was a steady stream of local customers that also seemed happy with the services they've purchased. That day, Maggie just so happened to have made some red bean with purple wild rice dessert. She was sharing it with her friends at the salon and she offered me some as well. Delish!

Then one day, Wifey told me that Ken was back and was now working at a different location. I quickly texted him and confirmed that he was back for good and I immediately booked an appointment. Ken and the current owner used to work at Hair Designers at Skyline Plaza and that's where I met him and I became his regular. I initially thought he was gay until I discovered he had kids. I just revealed this to him recently and he said it's OK and it was a common misconception. We had a good laugh...always do. Prior to Ken, I had two regular barbers/hair stylists that I used to frequent and one sadly passed away (may she rest in peace) and the other one moved out of state. Finding the perfect barber is quite an exhausting process so to finally connect with one and become in sync with one another is like a harmonious balance of nature. All I have to say is, "The usual" and not having to explain how I want my hair done is such an underrated, satisfying and relaxing feeling knowing I am in good hands.
