    side view of haircut by Pam Legaspi 07/20/10
    Elaine W.

    I go here to have my haircuts done by Pam Legaspi. I first met her when she was working at a tiny salon in Colma and I've followed her around since then because she's the only one who's been able to give me consistently professional quality and flattering cuts at a reasonable price ($35-$45 with tip). I wear my hair very short, and Pam is able to make it interesting - adding choppy texture and shaping it in a way to suit my face shape. I actually feel like I have a hip/modern style vs. just "boy hair" - now I get comments like, "I love your pixie haircut!" What I love about Pam is that she'll take the time to consult with you and also discuss the best options for a cut and style based on your natural hair texture and how much time you want to spend on fixing it everyday. She also specializes in color/highlighting. The other stylists here are all friendly and I watch them work their magic on their clients - ranging from kid's haircuts to permanents and updos...still, I only trust Pam with my hair and would probably not go back to Hair Definition if she were to move away someplace further.

    Mon Diokno, Stylist & Colorist extraordinaire - Aside from his great pricing, Mon has the ability to "learn" and "know" your hair instinctively. Mon was recommended to me by a friend who always had great hair and always talked about her regular visits. I haven't been quite as religious about cutting and styling my hair so I don't visit him as often as I'd like, but everytime I do, it's such a wonderful treat for myself. I'm very low key about my hairstyle - I just want to wash it, tussle it , and go. My family/friends have always complemented me after a visit with Mon and notice the subtle, yet distinct haircut/style. Mon's always been able to accommodate last minute appointment requests and understands my request for no hairspray, please! He no longer does up-do's but will style hair for special events. He always seems booked, but because I have such simple needs, he's always able to squeeze me in between appointments. Also, it's a nice, clean, convenient location off El Camino Real, in San Bruno.

    I made an appointment messaging through their Facebook page and got a very prompt reply back…read moreconfirming date and time. Located in a very prime location in downtown Millbrae, the salon is gorgeous inside! Very modern and clean. I got to my appointment early but was quickly attended to check in. Vee asked if I needed a hair wash which I told him that I already washed the night before. He said because my hair was very dry, he would give me a hair wash. It was so relaxing and he did an amazing job washing and conditioning my hair. Next up was blow-drying and he took a lot of time to not only dry it but used a barrel brush to style it and straighten it after. He was very meticulous! I showed him pictures of my hair inspiration and he said he could do the medium layer cut. I was so impressed with the outcome, it was a wonderful experience and can't wait to come back!

    Please do not go to this salon…read more The reviewer who mentioned being treated differently and looked down upon due to not speaking Mandarin was 100% accurate. I experienced the same treatment. I was so hopeful this would be my new go-to salon for cuts & dyes, as Leo's IG was exactly what I was looking for. I booked a hair cut with Leo, "Master" Stylist, for $88 last week, confirmed by their scheduler over Messenger, for a 7:30pm time slot (usually their closing time, but the scheduler assured me it was fine and preferred by Leo). When I walked in, Leo warmly said, "bye bye" to the previous customer, who l heard speaking Mandarin with him. I walked up to greet him, introduced myself, and asked if he was Leo. He looked so bothered and disgusted(??), which completely threw me off. He said yes and pointed for me to sit in the seat, barely greeting me. I said I wanted a trim, and he acknowledged that. Then I said I only wanted 1-2 inches off my long hair, as I wanted to keep my length. I asked for a couple of long layers for my main hair, and more layering for the bangs, citing a really subtle wolf cut or butterfly cut. I showed him photo examples for bangs & layers, he pointed out some were short compared to my hair length, and I confirmed they indeed were too short for me and that these photos were mainly for the layer examples and that I wanted longer. We were the only ones in the salon at this point. He tried to start cutting my hair without a hair wash by putting on the cape (a bit tightly at first), and I asked, "Are you going to wash my hair?" Then, he seemed aggravated and visibly upset by that question and said that my hair is so long that I'd have to pay extra to have a wash included with a cut. He took out his calculator and showed me it would be a bit over $100. I told him the scheduler confirmed it was a flat $88 for a hair cut with him, even when I stated I had long hair and asked about it. I offered to show him the messages, but then he huffed and said, "Fine, OK, $88." He was clearly agitated, roughly took off the cape, and threw it on the nearby chair. It was concerning that he seemed so pissed off... I felt so incredibly uncomfortable due to this behavior, and I contemplated leaving, but wanted to avoid any more negative reactions. So I just hoped for the best and went to the hair wash station. The water he used was a little too hot, and he did not ask once if the temperature was okay, like other salons do. The entire wash was very rushed and rough, and he literally wrung my hair out like a wet towel!! I was shocked. Wringing wet hair causes damage, and no stylist has ever done that to my hair. Stylists normally bunch it in their hands and squeeze the water out gently to protect the hair from breakage. The shampoo and conditioner he used smelled awful, like a cleaning solution with musk. It was really so terrible that I had to wash out when I got home, and 5 shampoos that night didn't fully remove it. Back at the salon chair, he put the cape back on (again, a bit too tightly at first), and used a small, loud hair dryer on maximum heat to dry my hair. He did not put any hair protectant or oil to protect my hair like salons normally do. He clearly was rushing as quickly as possible, yanking at my thin, tangly hair. The heat was too hot for my scalp and it hurt a bit after. During the blow dry, my Asian boyfriend (he's Chinese, not that it's obvious or should even matter??) walked in after parking the car. I waved to him, Leo asked if he's with me, and I said yes. Suddenly, Leo's mood and tone changed when he spoke with me. He talked more in a friendly, gentle "customer service" voice (as used w/ the previous customer). I was shocked at the sudden switch. I wondered why he didn't think I should be treated this way from the beginning? Leo very hastily dry cut my hair and only cut a tiny bit off (maybe less than or up to 1 inch) of the very center back section of hair, then essentially thinned random parts at an angle without trimming in full. So he did not first trim all my hair before going to thin out edges and a bit of slide cutting only. He measured some of the layers to match, which was good, but then he left so much of my hair not cut at all, and I only noticed after getting home. He didn't show me the final back view with mirror like literally all other past stylists have done. He also did not 1) first pull out all my bangs or 2) trim across first. He only made small sideway and slide cuts to thin the edges for some. I found completely missed strands when I got home, and it did not look good. I had to cut those bangs myself, it looked embarrassing to leave them. The almost-45-min service was not worth $88, let alone w/ the rounded-up 15% tip I left, but I wanted to avoid issues and be out of there. The only positive is my hair is still long; however, this felt like a "master" scam rather than a "master" cut. :'( I'm so sad.

She…read moredoes a meticulous job trimming without getting scissor happy, will style your hair after wards and charges the best prices around. Since, she is appointment only, there is usually only a couple others in the salon if anyone. It's a comfortable, quite atmosphere. Liza also offers good hair care advice and gets the style you desire. She's also a good conversationalist adding to the pleasantries of getting my hair done here. If you're interested in competitive pricing, helping small business owners and getting a quality job done, this is the place for you!

    When I saw my sister Angel on Christmas Eve, I couldn't stop raving about her hair! Her hair…read morelooked really shiny and it definitely made her look A LOT younger than her age. Not to say she didn't have good hairstyles before but it seems like they keep getting better each time I see her, and that's because of Liza. My sister has been going to Liza (Terrificuts) for years! I believe my sister goes every 2+ months or so while I go every 1+ year. Let's just say my sister is more concern about her hair than I am on mine. :p I would let my hair grow really long then go to Liza to have it cut really short only to let it grow again. Last time I badly needed a haircut, however, I needed it to happen asap without any appointment....you know how sometimes you wake up in the morning and you just want to chop all your hair off? No? Hmmm....maybe I'm one of the few....Unfortunately, I wasn't able to contact Terrificuts so I went to a shop on Mission Street...HUGE MISTAKE!!! I hate the cut. My hair looks dull. My hair doesn't seem to grow as fast as when Liza used to cut them....NEVER AGAIN!! My sister's hair is short to medium length depending on what Liza and her have decided. My hair is a lot thicker and tend to be lot longer than my sister's and Liza handles them really well. Let's just say, she's a Jill of all Hair!! I'm submitting a couple of pictures when I told Liza to chop off my hair, and I gave her complete free reign on the style...one of the best haircut I ever had!! P.S. Let Liza know if you're donating your hair to Locks of Love so she can cut it ready to mail.
