I moved to LA and tried a bunch of salons, but none of them really worked for me. My girlfriend recommended Kaz, though she warned he's usually booked out about three weeks in advance. At my appointment, Kaz started with a wash and then spent a solid 40-60 minutes on the cut. He's super detailed. It felt like he was paying attention to every single strand. I love how it turned out.!!! After washing, my hair just falls into place naturally. I barely have to style it...just brush and go. I travel a frequently so I didn't get back for about three months, but my hair still held up and looked good. Definitely recommend Kaz. read more

Hair Craft - a week after harcut - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This was the best value haircut I've ever gotten in my life. Hair Craft is located on the third (top) floor of a plaza in Little Tokyo. Yuji was my hairdresser, and he was so kind, precise, and skilled with my haircut. When I first walked in, I thought, "ah this really is a no frills hair salon," and I'll admit I was a little nervous since it was my first time and I didn't know what to expect. As soon as I sat down, my nerves went away. Yuji was so gentle and attentive, and I felt really well taken care of. My appointment lasted about an hour and included a wash and cut. Parking is validated for up to two hours, which is definitely enough time. I was so happy with my results. I truly don't know how Yuji creates such magic with his hands! I'll be coming here from now on for my haircuts. Please show Yuji and Hair Craft your support by leaving a generous tip. An establishment like this that truly gives you high quality results for such a generous price deserves to be met with gratitude and good tips. Too many salons are charging an arm and a leg for a basic trim these days, and Hair Craft is not one of them. There were only 1-2 stylists working during my visit, so please be patient and make sure to book at least three weeks in advance. When I booked, they were already scheduled out for three weeks, and I overheard them telling other callers the same thing. Thankfully, it was absolutely worth the wait. I can't wait to come back and will definitely be booking with Yuji again. Thank you Hair Craft for such a wonderful experience!!! read more

This was my first time going to Hair Craft and I LOVED it !!!

This place is a gem! Kaz-San is my hero and is always so kind to me despite our language barrier. This place is pretty simple but it has that genuine classic Japanese quality no-nonsense kind of vibe. It's not your crazy over the top kind of salon, so don't expect some LA shenanigans. Please respect and adore this place! read more

I loved my experience here! Knowing I was going to be traveling to LA I booked an appt here a month in advance (they get busy fast, and for good reason) and called to confirm day of as well. Hair Craft is located in Little Tokyo in Downtown LA and conveniently validates parking if you park in the garage located in the same plaza. It was a little tricky to find at first but I was able to make my way to the studio and get my hair cut here for the first time. Got a nice little shampoo session before the actual cut and there was only one other customer when I was there so everything was so peaceful and quiet. I showed a reference photo of the hair style I wanted, and left feeling super happy! This is a hidden gem and honestly I kind of want to keep it a well-kept secret for myself (lol) but can't deny the world a great hair salon. So here you go: don't forget to make an appointment here and you surely won't be disappointed. read more

I love how Yuji cuts my hair. I drive all the way from San Diego county to see him for a hair cut about once a year. He is the only one I trust with my long hair. My hair was down to my butt and I wanted a very special trim. I asked for a natural uneven trim, basically a shaggy haircut. His scissor work has by far been my favorite. read more

Called to make an appointment and the guy made me tell him what I wanted and with what hair stylist just for him to say "Sorry no appointment for 3 weeks" (similar to a review I just read) I replied and said "Ok, when is the next appointment available?" And he said "Yeah sorry no appointment". Does he think the earth is no longer going to be after the next 3 weeks that he won't let me book after?!?! He if knows something we don't know about the world ending then I understand why he won't book me after 3 weeks. Horrible service, they need someone on the phone who believes that we will live more than 3 weeks. read more

This place has terrible service. It also is not one of the cleanest locations. There are many other options in the area that you are better off. read more

they have horrible customer service. i called to make an appointment i havent even said what i wanted ( which was just a trim & layers very simple) & the guy that answered automatically said we have no appointments available for the next 3 weeks & i said that fine i would like too book the next open spot i dont care if its in 3 weeks & he just kept saying no?? & clicked on me. very rude & i wouldn't recommend it, i was just calling to make an appointment so imagine how they act if you get a hair cut. if i can give 0 stars i would. they need to learn how to talk to customers with respect. 0 stars ! read more

Don't let the dated inside stop you, the hairdressers here are amazing! I've been coming here for almost 10 years despite moving from LA to OC to Riverside. You can't go wrong with anyone here but I highly recommend Yuji-san. Bring some pictures to show him how you want your hair done and it will turn out exactly like the pictures. The price is also so much lower than anywhere else for the quality you get. I worry about them not making enough for the time they spend on my hair. So leave a big tip if you can :) read more

A great salon. I came in during this pandemic and was able to be seen the same day I called for an appointment. Was feeling brave and asked for bangs, showed a few inspiration pics and got it done! I love how it turned out. The best part was how the stylist approached it. Showed me her progress in the front and back as we went to make sure it was okay. Length was carefully taken off because I asked for just a short trim. Very diligent stylist. I appreciate places like this. Great price too! Used very safe covid prevention procedures. Clean, sanitizer everywhere, etc. Def coming back. read more

Mari is a great hairstylist that is leaving the US. I will miss her but her work and level of expertise, showcases the talent Haircraft has. When I'm in LA again, I will visit again! We will miss you Mari! read more

Lovely people, and they got you on a top cut for any haircut for any gender. Came here for many years, eventually brought my mom for a cut several times too. Plus it's a great excuse to hit the market on the ground level of weller court. Just go. read more

I get haircuts here from Yuji for a long time. Over the years, I've been to other stylists in LA, but Yuji is the best one I've been to. He really knows how to cut hair. He also has an incredible memory and pays attention to detail. He even takes notes on repeat clients' hair styles in a notebook that he consults when necessary. He's good at listening to what clients ask for, and if you show him a picture of what you want, he can totally make it happen. Yuji is clearly dedicated to excellence and a master at his craft and the name Hair Craft is appropriate. Story time: So just yesterday I got my first salon haircut in several years. I had taken a break from getting salon haircuts because I had started cutting my hair at home with clippers. But recently, I started growing it back out long again and I didn't feel as confident to cut it myself. Yuji did an amazing job. Millions of times better than what I could ever have done by myself. It was so much faster too. I was also impressed he still remembered me over the phone after all these years. The haircut he gave me was excellent. At the end of the day, Yuji's haircuts always look great! The price he charges is very reasonable too for the quality of the haircut. So please tip him well! read more

Amazing cut! A bit language barrier, but she is very nice and patient. The sleek and no layer short hair is exactly what I want. The shampoo is like magic, you can hear you hair bounce and wave for 5 days even after, with soothing sound. The massage feels like your head is a watermelon and massage in circles, very comfortable. I am really curious what brand they used. read more

Hair Craft - the really great comb - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Well it's been a long 15 months. My hair grew past my shoulders but it's time for a change. I had my hair taken care of today by Yuji. He was very kind and friendly and understood exactly what I was looking for. He put meticulous care into checking that he himself was satisfied with all the little details. Afterward he showed me some products and techniques to use for styling. read more

I read the reviews and took a chance on this 3rd floor strip mall Little Tokyo location - so worth it. Yuji is a timid, soft spoken, kind hair dresser. He doesn't waste time with small talk and gets right down to business. He listens to your wants - be sure to volunteer information and pictures for reference. I have very long hair and I asked for 90s inspired long layers. That's exactly what I got. A double shampoo, conditioner, hair cut, and style in 2 hours - Yuji charged $40 but it was worth double!! Please tip well. The place needs a face lift so once it does, it'll earn that 5th star. read more

This salon is a hidden gem! The hair stylists are always so kind, respectful and attentive. They're very detail oriented and really take their time with your haircut!

I would just make sure to call a little in advance to book your appt! read more

Yuji-San is so talented!!! I got my hair cut today and I really love it! I came all the way from Burbank to get my hair done by Yuji-San. This is my third time coming here and i am so happy that I found this salon. :) Thank you again! :) read more

Hair Craft - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

First time to go to this salon after reading the reviews. They were all true! Saw Yuji, very detailed and took over an hour for my short hair. I will definitely be back. read more

Got the best hair treatment I've ever had here. Not exaggerating! Disclaimer that my post-pandemic hair was so bad that my eight-year-old could have greatly improved on it but still, I'm so overjoyed that I'm mad at myself I didn't come here sooner. It wouldn't have been so depressing to fester at home all of last year because at least I'd feel pretty doing it. I'm really mad at myself for not catching my stylist' name but by process of elimination from the reviews I think it was Kaz. The first great thing is that I called yesterday for a cut and color which takes hours and he fit me in that day: at 5:00 on a holiday weekend Friday. Super convenient for me because I work a block away. When he saw my hair he gasped a little and said "oooh!" Which was fine because I was laughing at how terrible my hair was! His English is very limited but somehow he did a perfect job. Oh and I love how they have a sink at every station (at least he did.) Great color, cut and blowout (2 hours) for $75. This is an insanely low price. Last place for that treatment was $125, which is still reasonable. This is my new salon. read more

Great haircut at a good price and excellent service. I will definitely come back again. Thank you Yuji!

Hairstylists are very patient and professional. Good price for high quality service. Enjoy this place in Little Tokyo.

This is my 2nd time getting my hair cut with Miki and she again exceeded my expectation she took time to look at the pictures that I showed her, gave me a relaxing scalp massage, and she was very careful in washing my hair so my makeup won't get ruined. She didn't use any razor to create the layers but they still come out very nicely. The haircut was ~ $40 and my hair was medium length. This is officially my #1 hair salon and I will always return to Miki TY for always taking good care of your customer!! read more

I had Yuji decide how to cut my hair. He was very meticulous about measuring head shape, hair type, and washed my hair before and after cutting to ensure everything was right. He was very interesting to talk to and overall the basic men's cut was very well done for a good price and I'm eager to go back. read more

I got an urge to trim off some of my hair today and decided to give Hair Craft a call to see when they were available and they were able to see me 30 minutes after I called!! Liam was super sweet and paid attention to the smallest of details. I told him I wanted to keep my length but I wanted a few long layers to give me some definition. He suggested I cut off about an inch or 2 of split ends and he kept showing me the back to make sure I was still comfortable with the length. My hair cut turned out amazing!! It's still long like I wanted and he gave me some soft layers and my hair feels so silky smooth again. Definitely give Liam a shot. read more

Hair Craft - Long hair with soft layers - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Always a great haircut! I've had both Miki and Yuji, and both are great. Miki-san is extremely detailed, and will pay particular detail to what you say about the kind of cut you want. If you want a specific length, she has often gotten out the comb and measured the length for you to confirm before she takes anything off. She is constantly checking and rechecking that all details match as she goes, and I'm pretty sure she actually keeps notes on her clients - I've had her pull out the notecard on me once after I didn't come for a few months. She also knows just enough English to chat, I've talked with her about my trips to Japan, and she was so delighted. Yuji-san goes far faster at cutting hair, and its a little shocking at first, but the product has been good both times I've had him cut my hair, including once during the pandemic. His English is more limited than Miki-san, so usually I show him a picture and am ready to take whatever he sees fit. He thins hair a lot more than Miki-san, so if I had to pick, I would go with him going forward since I have thick Asian hair and appreciate the light weight from the trims. They take precautions during the pandemic, and the shop is old, but still very clean. Everyone is required to wear a mask, and your temperature is checked. read more

Just went there yesterday, Miki san did a great job! I am in love with my new hair;p Miki was really sweet and caring. She washed my hair really gentle, and she couldn't be more patient while cutting my hair!!! Will be back soon! read more

Kaz-san you are best. Thank you for taking the time and patience with cutting my wavy asian hair. It feels refreshing and looks soo much better ‍ read more

absolutely amazing!!! they were very nice and considerate of my situation (helped fix my hair into an amazing wolf cut). She spent 2 hours taking her time and putting in amazing effort. The attention to detail left me feel great and powerful :)). Will definitely come back again and again. read more

Yuji always cuts my hair just right. He really takes his time. Most places cut my hair in 30 minutes and it feels rushed. With Yuji, his attention to detail is second to none. He cuts my hair for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Yuji really takes his craft seriously. Before the haircut, he looks over his notes from the previous cut. Not only is he great at his craft, but he is super kind, friendly and gentle. I highly recommend Yuji. read more

My search for a new go-to haircut lady/man began when my original go-to lady in Arcadia upped her prices from $45 to $50. May seem like a small difference, but that topped with the fact I had to make the long trek from my place to Arcadia (20-30 min depending on traffic) made me reconsider whether it was worth it. Then I found Hair Craft, which is only a 10 min drive - so much closer! Miki is the hidden gem of Los Angeles... I've come here twice and it's already official - I'm hoping that Miki can be my go-to hair barber (for cuts) for-ever. Hair craft is a no frills salon located in Weller Court of Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. Just as with food, the same goes for pampering places for me - I prefer a no frills place that delivers the best product possible (ex. awesome hole in the wall vs. a beautifully decorated modern restaurant with subpar food). Both times I've been here, Miki spends a good full hour cutting my hair, being super detail oriented. I always come out with hair that feels better - it's surprising that the way she layers my hair comes out so differently than the haircuts I've had in the past! My hair is layered in a most feminine and sleek way that makes me feel refreshed and new. She also gives a really awesome hair wash; I appreciate that she's gentle with my hair and does none of that rough tugging nonsense. Women's cuts are $40+. They will validate your parking (the one under Weller Court) for an hour. Really reasonable price for such a good experience! Thanks Miki! read more

Got a simple haircut. Loved the shampoo massage and I love my haircut. I don't like stylists who try to chat me up the entire time and so I liked the fact that this hair stylist left me alone to read my magazine. Even tho I'm satisfied with my haircut, I wish there was more of a consultation like what she recommends and if I was satisfied with how much hair she cut before she took the robe off. Usually stylists ask me if I want it lighter prior to finishing off. read more

I always enjoy getting my hair cut from Mari. She is very skilled and thorough. I usually ask for light layers and a lot of thinning. This time I asked for light bangs as well, and she did a great job. Parking is available in the garage off of 2nd Street. They validate for parking. read more

Had a cut by Yuji. I didn't know what I wanted. He spent 5 minutes analyzing my hair. He knew exactly how long it had been since my last hair cut. I let him do what he wanted, and I got the best hair cut I've had in at least 10 years. The guy is not a hair stylist. He's an artist and craftsman. No thinning shears. No clippers. No shortcuts. Just one pair of shears and craftsmanship, a rare find these days. If you're looking for a modern place with beverage service and pop music, this is not your place. However, if you want high quality craftsmanship this place is your place. And most importantly, they validate parking. read more
