Tried this spot for the first time since it's right by my apartment. The shop is clean, well-lit, and I had no trouble finding street parking. Ken was ready for me immediately, which I appreciated. I showed him a reference photo, and while the end result didn't quite match the picture, the cut was still decent. It was $35 for a dry cut (no shampoo). A solid, convenient option for a basic haircut. read more

She also uses products that are the least damaging to the hair. I've gotten highlights, balayage, and ombre done by Irene and it always looks amazing! Check out eXpressions for your next haircut and/or color. You won't be disappointed! read more

eXpression Hair Design - Coloring done by Irene - Hair Salons Near Me - Daly City, California

I met Irene in Year 2014 when my hair turned into a mess after a very bad hair straightening in Hong Kong. I came to Irene for rescue. She fixed it and she encouraged me to keep my natural hair since then. Today I still come to Irene but it's no longer for S.O.S. but ideas and creativity. Irene likes me to keep my hair long. I always told her I like to cut it shorter and shorter after she gave me a Bob haircut since 2022. Today I tried to have a happy medium to keep my hair just right on my shoulder. I came to Irene to get my hair done again today to get ready for my birthday. Irene suggested me to get the new highlight and a simple cut. As usual, she did such amazing job and I love her work very much!!!!! read more

My go-to place for haircuts, especially since they are Chinese and know how to cut Chinese hair just the way I like it (I'm Chinese). My hair is very thin and straight and the staff there makes sure to validate my concerns about hair health. They are great at recommending me hairstyles that fit my face shape and still keeping with current trends. Great advice for post-cut maintenance as well. They're very busy so if you plan on coming for a cut on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, walk-ins are available, but appointments are highly recommended. read more

Amazing experience from start to finish! I got a straight perm and the results exceeded my expectations. My hair is so smooth and easy to manage. Excellent service and great attention to detail. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Harrison is my go-to, a great stylist. Ken gave me a great haircut today while Harrison is in China. Thank you Ken! Really happy with the cut read more

Harrison is an exceptional stylist. Upon my first visit, he gave me the best haircut I have had in a couple of years. Harrison is an artist, and highly skilled, with an amazing amount of very specific scissors, thinning shears etc. I highly recommend Harrison if you are looking for a high level precision cut for men or women. Bring a picture in of what type of cut you are looking for, it works well if he can visualize what you are expecting. More than fair pricing, under $50.00 for woman's cut, no wash, just cut and style. read more

I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with my experience at eXpression Hair Design in Southgate. This was my first time coloring my hair in over 5 years, so I was looking forward to a change. I specifically chose a 4N Medium Brown to lighten my natural black hair. The service was a complete disaster for several reasons: 1. Rushed Process: It felt like the stylist was in a huge hurry because there were other customers waiting behind me. As soon as she finished applying the dye, she rushed me to the sink to wash it off immediately. She didn't let the color process for the required 30+ minutes needed for virgin black hair. 2. Zero Results: Because she didn't let the dye sit, my hair is still exactly the same--jet black. There is absolutely no hint of the medium brown I asked for. 3. Dishonesty & Lack of Consultation: When I complained that the color didn't change, she simply told me, "If you want that color, you need to bleach it." If that was the case, she should have told me BEFORE starting the process. Instead, she took my money, did a rushed job to get to the next customer, and gave me zero results. read more

Walked in for just a trim and ended up going for layers instead. I wasn't expecting much, but Alex did an amazing job! so happy with the result! thank you, Alex! read more

I love coming here for my haircut. I've been coming here for 4 years now for a cut. I used to go to whoever was available since all them were really good. I now look for Irene who cut my hair recently and her cuts are always 100%! I have thick hair and she always thins it and takes care of it. I like my hair long and she kept it thin with the length which is what I wanted. I also got a hair treatment when I came for this cut and it was $130 with tip for a cut and hair treatment. My boyfriend also comes here and he usually goes to Harrison. He also does a great job for his comb over. He always waits for Harrison for his haircut. Harrison is super detailed with the cut and takes his time. read more

I honestly did not originally pick eXpression Hair Design. I had a confirmed appt. At 11am at Gorgeous Hair and Beauty Salon(next door) but oddly the business was closed, dark inside and no one was in there. So i hoped eXpression Hair had an opening and they did! I was so thankful that Alex(male) was available because when i showed him my inspo photo, he was able to cut my hair exactly the way i wanted it and the price was only $40! Compared to other hair salons which are $120+. Thank you Alex! read more

I was feeling upset with my family and a bit overwhelmed, especially with how messy my hair had become. On a whim, I made a last-minute appointment with Irene for a straight perm. Even though she was extremely busy, she still kindly made time for me and took care of my hair. My hair is long, thick, and fluffy--definitely not the easiest to manage--but Irene was incredibly patient. She worked through it step by step without rushing. She also recommended that I wash out the uneven color and go for a darker, more consistent tone, and she gave me a protein treatment before the straight perm to ensure the best results. She was absolutely right--the outcome was amazing! My hair looks so much neater, more manageable, and most importantly, beautiful. It really boosted my confidence. Talking to Irene was also comforting; she even gave me some perspective on how to better understand and maintain family relationships. After the treatment, I not only looked better but also felt more at peace and confident--inside and out. I'm really grateful to Irene. Her assistant was also wonderful--skilled, gentle, and friendly. I even dozed off a few times because I felt so relaxed. Thank you both so much. I walked out feeling relieved, refreshed, and more like myself again. read more

DISAPPOINTED!!! Today I take a day off just to get my hair done. I wanted to get a balayage and hair trim. I made an appointment 1 week ago with Irene. I told her I want a U cut shape with no layer, 2 inch cut, she understood, she said it's gonna be a little bit of layer because it will look more better and began to cut my hair. The first time she cut looks fine to me, then she proceed to dye my hair. I don't like the way she brushed and shampooed my hair is so rough. For balayage result it doesn't look 100% as the picture I showed to her. It more look like highlights than balayage. But I'm ok with that. After she done coloring my hair, she do the second hair cut, and more layer. I didn't notice the thickness at the salon because she curl my hair. When I got home, I start to touch my hair and notice that my hair is too thin and shorter that what I expected. My hair before was about my waist line and now it's about bra strap length, it's completely not 2" cut (I measured the longest part of my hair). It's my birthday and this salon completely ruin my day. read more

I've been coming here for a year+ now and figured it was time to write a review for the color and cut service here. I have naturally curly and dry hair that has been dyed all sorts of colors over the years. I initially came here to get an ombré that transitioned from brown to blonde to blue. Long story short Irene nailed it! She is very talented, professional and efficient. She will transform your hair safely into your vision, but you have to trust the timeline she gives you to get there. Over the year I transitioned out of blue into a more warm blonde ash ombré. I moved to Los Angeles and have yet to trust anyone there so I come back here to see Irene! Totally worth the trip. The photo of me in dark long straightened hair is where I started and the latest is the warm ombré. Looking forward to playing around with more color in the next few months and I only trust this salon to take me there. Decently priced for professional, talented, healthy color transition that leaves your locks in a better state than prior. I highly recommend this salon! Also, when she promises to only trim an inch it truly becomes only an inch! BIG DEAL for all my fellow curly hair girls! I highly recommend her and this salon! read more
