my bf took us to this mall and we walked into a couple stores. as he drifted off and i couldn't find him, i walked by this salon and noticed SO MANY people here of all ages and genders! it was wow! place being packed/crowded. so i decided to sit down at one of their guest chairs in the front contemplating if i should get my hair done now or later. i was looking at customers getting their hairs done while enjoying the a/c lol. owner and hair expert, jimmy greeted me and i immediately asked him how much my hair coloring would be. he was always very nice and understood what i wanted. my first time here and i look forward to returning again in the near future with the light pink highlights retouched. there is also the sparkle hair lady who is short, cute, short haired bob with bangs that has sparkle strands in her hair. she is also very nice and did the majority of my hair because jimmy was already working on a woman's hair before me. my hair of 2 colorings and additional 18 sparkle strands took 3 hours that exceeded their closing time here. they were very nice about everything from start to finish. fast paced the way i like and i enjoyed being here. i even wanted to help sweep their floors of hair at their end of the day working there because i stayed longer (8pm) than their closing time of six pm. ha i wanted to help them with that to show them i appreciate them. :) i recommend people to come here. and people need to ask for the price first when telling him exactly what you want. make sure he understands you so there is no misunderstanding about your hair. have him tell you what you had told him. that way, you hear what he understands. this is the way with chinese owners. i know because i'm chinese. pictures of hair colors and styles help hugely. i will definitely recommend my famous chinese virtuoso calligrapher dad to get his hair cut here too. :) read more

I went in for a hair cut as a walk in. He was going back and forth with another client who was getting their hair dyed. Hairstylist did not give me what I wanted. I asked for a blowout after my hair cut. He gave me super tight curls. He acknowledge the tight curls but proceeded to say it's okay because they will fall later in the day. I wasn't too happy with my haircut or hairstyle. read more

Jin is by far the best in town. She has years of experience in this industry and it shows. She can do the impossible. My husband and I are both her loyal customers because she really know what she is doing. My hair is health, long, and shinny because of her professional care. I get a lot of compliments at work and even from strangers. She also does a fantastic job with my husband's hair. He had a hard time finding someone to get the hair cut he likes. She does it every time. Thank you Jin for always being accommodating, professional and for the great work you do. I love my hair. Her price is also reasonable but we always make sure that she knows we value her outstanding work ethic and beautiful creations. read more

I have been going to Jimmy for many years. He has cut my hair, dyed it, highlighted it and I am always satisfied. He listens to what you want and makes sure you leave happy. He recently highlighted my teen boy's hair and he loved it. Thanks Jimmy! read more

Jimmy and Linda are wonderful! I have thick and frizzy Hispanic/Latina hair and they were able to give me a great haircut, keeping the length but making it feel lighter for summer. They also added dark red highlights, just like I asked. They're easy to talk to, approachable, friendly, and professional. Jimmy shared his sons attended NYU and USC. Awesome! Support small hard working businesses! read more

Today was an amazing experience at Focus Hair Studio! I never thought I could live my hair so much, thank you so much Jimmy! The amount of care and time put into my hair cut, hair dye and styling was worth 5 stars I am starting the year out great thanks to Jimmy and Linda. I recommend this salon for everyone; men, women and children. read more

I usually dye my hair myself, but I decided to let Helen dye it..poor life decisions. I got a strange highlight job done before from her, so I was wary ever since (it didn't become the right color). Halfway through her assistant took over. Her assistant didn't seem to know what she was doing, and couldn't follow instructions. My skin turned red that night, and a couple days later started peeling. I visited a dermatologist, and they told me the dye was probably left on for too long. Certain dyes can have chemicals that are too harsh for sensitive skin. I'm changing my previous review to one star, because of their terrible customer service. Helen was very apologetic, but the owner Jimmy was rude. He did not care at all and told me "it happens a lot" but "it wasn't a big deal" and that "it'll probably heal in another two weeks or so". When I asked for a refund for just the hair dye (not the haircut as well) he replied "there are no refunds, it probably wasn't that expensive..why don't I offer you a free haircut instead?" So..you're offering me $40 of credit for a $60 hair dye AFTER you chemically burned me. Lol because this is the type of customer service makes people want to come back. I came here for you to take care of my hair, not to pay you $120 to burn my face and neck!! Oddly enough this isn't the first burn from them either. I came here for Prom to get my hair styled and JoJo burned my forehead with a curling iron. The skin turned gray later and fell off..I'm done with this place (as well as my sisters, and all the friends I've brought here) read more

So i went here on monday for a hair cut. I showed them a picture of the style i want. I wanted an aline hair cut, which is short on the back and long in the front. But instead they did the opposite. They gave me short in the front and long in the back. I hate it so much. Now i have to keep my hair in a pony tail until it grows a bit to get the style i wanted. I won't be returning here anymore. read more

If you are considering getting a perm I would consider taking my business elsewhere not only are the perms here overpriced but they don't last. I came here to get a perm and I think whoever was in charge of my hair gave me a cheap perm or something because it only lasted a month which is crazy because a perm is supposed to last 4-6 months. The cost was 100 but gave him a 20 dollar tip because it actually came out nice but It only lasted a month. If I would have known it was going to last a month I would have gone somewhere else. There are many places that charge less like 60 bucks and do a better job but I wanted to try this place out because I saw many promising reviews but apparently my experience wasn't as I expected read more

I was cut 7 times on the back of the neck by the stylist, Jimmy. See attached photo, which was taken 7 hours post haircut. As you can see, the skin was so badly abraded that you can make out the individual blade marks from the clippers. To make matters worse, I felt the cut and reached back to feel my neck. I had blood on my fingers. I stopped the stylist and showed him this. He had the nerve to ask me what had happened! I told him he was cutting me and to please change the angle he was cutting my hair at. Finally, the creme de la creme, he actually charged me for this haircut! I had no idea how bad it was until I went home and my wife asked me what had happened and took this picture. read more

I came here and had Jimmy. He's wonderful at cutting and can tell what makes you look best. However, he does recommend adding a lot of perms/treatment that will cost a lot so you have to keep declining him if you don't want to get it at the current moment. He also does work on 5 heads at once so be prepared to wait. Oh, also the lady who washed my hair was awesome. She really spent the time to massage my scalp. Otherwise, he's really good and one of the best I've been to (I've been to D2 and Salon Shag and one other Japanese place in West LA). I definitely will be back. Maybe to even get a digital perm that he so highly recommended. Price was $40. Very reasonable. read more

Came to this salon to get my sister's hair ready for prom and it was an absolute disaster. She had a picture of a simple prom do, free flowing curls and a braid across the middle. The stylist, Sally, decided to crimp the hair and said it was for volume and texture, but at the end did not even hide it! It really looked like a poorly hidden weave. When we told her we were unhappy with the outcome in the end she proceeded to say it was due to the texture of my sisters hair, and the atrocious creation was "style." Not coming back again. If you don't feel comfortable with the complexity of someone's hair please don't attempt. read more

I walked in and was welcomed by Jimmy. I told him I needed a haircut, and he asked if I would want shampoo and blow dry with it. I said no, but in the middle of the haircut, I decided that I wanted the shampoo rinse after. Which they did, after my haircut. Jimmy asked for a photo of the haircut I wanted. I have very thick hair and it was quite wavy, so I told Jimmy to give me a semi under cut. The results were great! I wanted it a little bit shorter, but I trusted Jimmy when he said no. I am now obsessed with my haircut. I would definitely go back because Jimmy is super nice and accommodating! Attached is the photo I showed Jimmy and the result of my haircut read more

This is the only place I go to for my hair. I always and only go to JoJo. I've had Jimmy before (because my sister told me to go to him) but when he thins your hair, he does it dry which makes it painful. Plus I completely trust JoJo with my hair. Sometimes when I don't have a style in mind, I just let her do whatever she things I should do and I end up loving it! I live in Irvine, but I'm too scared to go anywhere else. update:// i got a digital perm and I LOVE IT!! my sister wanted to see how it turned out on me first and then she eventually got it herself! i love that I don't have to curl my hair anymore! I have really thick hair so I was scared at first but It makes my hair look fuller and gives it that messy look [: All my coworkers and friends think that I curled it myself. Definitely happy! read more

I decided to try this place out and I'm absolutely 100% satisfied. Everyone at Focus Hair Studio are all so kind & helpful. I was so lucky to have Emma cut my hair. She is now my go too girl. She is beyond awesome, so cool & very patient, she really took good care of me. Thank you again Emma again. See you next time! read more

Jojo was just brilliant, I had spent the last two weeks trying to find a decent salon to cut my hair short again. I didn't want to go to D2 again and get my hair chopped all jagged and uneven. I passed by this place before when it was still downstairs and now that it has a bigger space and more open to customers I decided to give it a try since I had a Halloween party to go to later that night and wanted a nice hair cut to clean up my mop of thick and unruly hair. Jojo immediately took me in when I asked if there was a wait as it seemed that there were plenty of customers and they seemed swamped. She told me she could do it right then and there. She took a look at my hair and knew what I needed, a deep conditioning and a lot of loving. ;) I told her I wanted a bob where it's short in the back and longer in the front and she surprisingly she knew exactly what length to cut it without me telling her, that's how good she was. She knew what length looked best for my face and it was the same length that I was going to tell her I wanted! She washed my hair and conditioned it well so that my hair wouldn't feel so bristly after blow drying. The result was amazing! She thinned out my hair since it was so thick, but not so much that I felt bald. LOL. And the length was exactly what I wanted. She made sure that the thinning wouldn't cut into my length and that was what I was impressed with. Jojo did a fantastic job and would definitely recommend her and keep me coming back! :) Total: $45 for wash, cut, style, and tip! read more

Not ashamed to say that I've practically grew up going to this hair studio, even before it moved to its current location! Although I don't live in SoCal anymore, I still faithfully (so far) pay a visit once a year to have my hair permed here by Helen. No, really, I think I've come down 4 years YTD annually getting my hair done here. Helen does an impeccable job and makes sure that every step is executed perfectly. The type of perm that I do is a digital perm, so each lock of hair is curled and heated with individual wires. The bill isn't cheap, but it's well worth the price, since I can wake up with my hair always looking great without any extra styling to do in the morning. I always get compliments from coworker and friends, and they all mistaken it as being naturally curly! Oh I wish it were so! But in all seriousness, I highly recommend Helen getting your hair done. Her perms are great and well worth the investment. read more

I usually prefer not to go to salons that's inside a mall, but I was desperate for a bang trim since I didn't have time to get one before leaving on vacation. All I have to say was that this is probably the BEST bang trim of my life. Sunny was my artist & I did notice that it wasn't just a quick cut, he spent extra time giving my bangs all these little details that I've always wanted, but never knew how to explain. Yes, it did took longer than your typical 5 minutes bang trim, but like I said; it was the BEST bang trim ever! I will definitely try getting a haircut here or something the next time I'm around this area. The salon itself seem to be very Asian orientated which I like because we all know that nobody cuts Asian hair better than Asian people. read more

Wow Thanks Jimmy !!! I took my mom here today to get her a fresh new look Jimmy did haircut and color my mom loves it she didn't know what the heck she wanted when she walked in there and Jimmy with his creativity and his imagination knew exactly what my mom needed he's fast fun and friendly everybody there is actually really good fast fun and friendly best time to come is when they open I'd have to say between 10am-10:30am stop by.... read more

I was wrong about this place... Or shall I say wrong about this particular stylist. The stylist ruined my hair. She went with my request without fully understanding my hair. My perm turned out to be nothing like what I had described to him/her. Before starting the process, I showed pictures, explained and described. The stylist confirmed that she/he knew exactly what I was talking about and assured me that the result would be great.... Well it turns out it was the worst perm ever! I will never come back to this stylist ever again.. read more

This place is worst LA hair salon ever. I went today for a perm and showed stylist specific picture I want my hair to look like. He said ok. He looked at the picture several times to make sure, before and during perm process. After it is done, not only my hair does not look like the picture at all, some bottom part does not have curls at all and hair is super damaged as it feels like grass. I asked him to fix it and he confessed he couldn't make perm look like the picture and he doesnt have a way to fix the perm. I was furious why would someone just lie and try to wing it. I had perfectly fine straight hair before and now my hair looks like someone did terrible perm then straight hair grows out. It is the most horrifying experience ever. I read other reviews later. It seems this place tends to over promise under deliver. Don't go to this place to ruin your hair and your day. Please be aware. read more

Love David!!! I 'm so happy that I met him !He is an amazing hair stylist! I will be definitely back to ask for him! A few days ago , I went shopping to Macy's in puente hills mall . I saw focus hair studio . I've been cutting my hair for about two months . I had no appointment and I was soon got David's care . I showed him the style photo that i liked, he tried to accommodate to the style that i wanted and made great suggestions that may best fit me, he definitely took his time cutting and styling my hair, he did it better than the photo, I'm pretty satisfied. That day I also knew that David has styled for more than one hundred movie stars from China, HongKong and Taiwan. He is a very experienced hair stylist! read more

Where do I start..... I needed to get my teenage son a hair cut. He is really picky about who cuts his hair. He has the really think corse hair and not very many stylists know how to cut that type of hair. Well we left and my son likes his hair cut. That's y you are getting a 3 starts but holy $#!+ the kids cut was $30 dollars. Say what you have got to be kidding me I am pretty sure my friend only paid $15 the last time we were there. Watch out people they like to take your money. $30 for a kids cut is ridiculous. read more

I've been going here for about 6 years. Jimmy has given me many different hair styles, from super long with straight bangs, to mohawk, and then to bob. I always get compliments on my hair from random people. I've actually had a lady at Disneyland come up to me and took a picture of my hair to show to her stylist. (I'm so not kidding). And please don't worry if you're not Asian, neither am I. Don't be afraid to go here. Please make sure you ask for Jimmy. read more

Great place. I've been coming here sense 2006. Price is average for a hair cut and for dye it is a little pricey but the end result they make sure it looks good. I've been going to Jimmy for years now and everytime its a pleasant visit. End result this place is a good place to get a quick cut and freshen up your look. read more

Jimmy is a very talented hair dresser and a perfectionist when it comes to hair. Thank you Jimmy for always doing an amazing job.

After not having my haircut for more then a year I decided it was time for something new. My hair was in horrible condition and I had some crazy split ends so I decided to make an appointment with Jimmy after finding Focus Hair Studio through Yelp. I found that he was spoken highly of so I decided to make an appointment with him and I wasn't disappointed. I had made an appointment on Saturday and Jimmy was free the next day. When I arrived he was working on another client but I only had to wait for about 5 minutes until I was getting my hair washed by a woman that also worked at the salon (I regret that I didn't get her name). Overall it felt amazing! I could've fell asleep at that point. She really made sure to wash my hair thoroughly all while massaging my scalp. Ahh it felt so nice. I've had my hair washed at several other salon's including the overpriced "Regis Salon" and this was the best that i've had so far. I thought Jimmy did a wonderful job on my hair. I had shown him a picture of what I wanted and I like how he didn't copy it exactly and focused more on what looked the best for the shape of my face. He asked for what I wanted and always kept it in mind while cutting my hair. He cut off about 4 inches and then I requested layers. It turned out even better than I expected! He focuses on all the little details and really took the time to make sure it was perfect and that both sides were symmetrical. He is also very nice and makes you feel comfortable. He even offered drinks, tea and magazines too! Overall it was a relaxing experience and I will definitely come back. I admit I have been scarred for life cause with my luck every single time i've gone to a salon i've walked out unhappy. This was the first cut that i've ever gotten that I was happy with! I've also gotten so many compliments! Thank you Jimmy! I'll be seeing you! read more

The only complaint I have about Jimmy is that he will propose that you add other treatments but will not tell you that it cost you an arm and a leg until he gives you the final bill. Other than that, he does a great job on the haircut. Be prepared to stay there for a long time because Jimmy works up to 5 heads at the same time. read more

I went to the mall with my friend, not expecting to get my hair cut. I walked up to the salon to look at the prices, and i was greeted by Sunny. He was SUPER nice and funny. I told him that I was thinking of chopping off my hair (pixie cut short; the shortest I've gone was to my shoulders). I showed him some pictures, and he said he was ready to go! haha He was full of energy which persuaded me to just get it cut. He was joking with my friend and I, which made me feel so much better! He was very supportive, comforting, and encouraging because he knew I was scared. He explained what he was doing, and he also gave me tips after he was done on how to style my hair. He made my decision so much easier, and i love my hair! I would DEFINITELY go back :) read more

Was really happy with my haircut. I was trying to find somewhere to go since I don't cut my hair frequently and had no idea what to do. I was walking through the mall and decided 'hey let's give this a try' . I will update this when I find the card that has her name on it but she did wonders with my hair since I have a lot of it. The cut looked amazing and will gladly go back every six months when I get a trim along with some styling. read more
