For the first time, I got a haircut from this business. This business has been in SG Valley for over 20 years. It's operating by a couple. They were so nice and acknowledge what I wanted. They told me a great suggestion on how my hair should looks like after the cut. How they can make it better. At the end, I love my new hair style. It's the best haircut for the last 5 years. I would also continue to come and do my color here. read more

I am one of those people that have very fine hair that is also very thin. It frustrates me every time I see the guy sitting next to me getting their hair cut for half the price when in fact more work needs to be done on him. A friend recommended Joey to me and told me that they have been coming to Hair Mission for years. There is no frill about Joey. You make an appointment and you get your hair cut. There is no shampooing or blowouts. I loved how you just need to sit down, get your hair cut, and get out, and most importantly... it is inexpensive! So glad that I tried out Hair Mission. Will be coming here for all my future trims! read more

Service is good. Hair coloring is excellent! The recommendation about hair products are very helpful, not only to keep the color, but also to help me lose less hair than before. The price is very reasonable. I have become a regular now! read more

Been with Joey forever. It's a true hidden gem hiding behind a dentist office. Good quick cut without BS, usually in and out within 20 mins. Hair cut for $18, wash and blow dry is extra. Affordable coloring, highlights, and perm. Yes I tried all those services and I would recommend this place to anyone I know. Appointment is highly recommended. read more

I have cut and dyed my hair here three times already, and I have already been recommending this place to absolutely everyone that I know. It's a true hole in the wall, mom and pop business. It's hiding behind a dentist office, I wouldn't know about this place if my coworker didn't tell me. Her hair looked so nice, I assumed she either went to a really expensive place, or she got it cut and dyed in Taiwan or Hong Kong. To my surprise, it's a local store! I think they are by appointments only, and the owner told me the phone number on Yelp is wrong but she couldn't change it lol The number on Google is right though. read more

Highly highly recommend this place! I had virgin hair and wanted to dye my hair so you can imagine how incredibly scared I was. The lady who cut my hair was very comforting and made me feel at ease. Unfortunately, since I had no clue about getting my hair dyed, I washed my hair a couple of hours before getting it dyed. That's a big no no. I told her about it and she said she wouldn't put too much chemicals on it. Very nice. It DOES help if you speak Chinese just so you can express your concerns and needs but overall really good experience! The whole thing was about 2-3 hours and she did a really good job washing my hair afterwards. It was a great decision because I got a lot of compliments on it. Overall, as a first timer, the lady was awesome, gave great recommendations and asked questions to ensure you get what you want. It was $30-$40 total (which is A LOT cheaper than other places) and it looks great! read more

I came here to fix my hair color back in November and I was pleased with the results. I tried to bleach my hair twice and only gotten to a caramel-orangey tone and some bright yellows here and there, it was a mess so i came here. The price is cheap if you have a budget and their hair cuts are really good too. The only problem is that they mainly speak cantonese/chinese and prefer to speak that language rather than english. It was a little hard to communicate with the stylist because she didn't understand my english but my hair turned out fine. She said because of all the different shades in my hair, i'd have to go back to black hair (after previously having some blonde parts before my full whole head hair bleach) and because i looked very disappointed, she suggested me to dye a section or strand purple. It turned out great and my hair felt healthy after it too. read more

Hair Mission - This is the purple strand after a few weeks it was done, my hair looks messy but it was the only picture I could find! ^^ - Hair Salons Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Have Joey cut my hair since 2013. Always beyond expectations even sometimes I didn't know what l desire. Would definitely recommend to friends! read more

My cousin first introduced me to this salon about five years ago. It's a small mom & pop shop that is hidden in the back of the driveway. There's plenty of parking spots. It's nothing fancy with it looking like some Asian households, but I still prefer this salon the most. As long as my hair comes out fine, I don't care how the exterior or interior looks! I used to get my hair cut once a year, but I try to get it trimmed 2-3 times now because my hair gets really thick & heavy. I have tried new salons that are 2-3 times pricier, but I always end up returning to this one. Walk-ins are welcome, but I always call in for an appt. The wife of the business doesn't answer with anything else, but a "Hello," so I have to ask them every time if this is the salon lol. It's better if you know how to speak Cantonese because that is their main language, but I think Joey knows enough English to know what you want. It usually takes 15-20 minutes, so I'm in and out. I rarely have to wait. I usually try to get Joey to thin out more of my hair to make it lighter, so feel free to ask him to make adjustments if you don't like the end result. The only time he advised not to thin out anymore is because my hair will be so light, that there would be a lot of flyaway hair. I will keep returning here as long as they're opened. But I am also on the occasional hunt for a higher end salon when I feel like being pampered hehe. read more

Only place I go now. Joey is very professional and knows how to exceed ones expectations. Price is very good too! Joey does his job perfect and fast! Fast in a good way. Make sure you make an appointment before you go. 5/5 definitely will recommend to my friends. P.S. My manager referred him to me in the beginning, and he was using Joeys services more than 10 years for now. And I might use his services for another decade. Hope they will stay there. You will not get disappointed! Check out other reviews) read more

This is my new go to place for haircuts and dyes. Was referred here by my always so stylish personal trainer... One day I just asked where he gets his cuts and colors, so I can drag my hubby and get his style on too. He told me it's a very small place that he's been going for 20 year, very simple, no shampooing, no pampering, just all the essentials, no BS; and only $15 bucks! He told me Joey doesn't take walk-ins and mostly referrals, so call ahead and book. What??? I had to see for myself. Called, left a message, and the wife called back and made an appointment the following week. Joey is the stylist, and his wife does coloring. He is very quick with scissors and knows what he needs to do, with your hair type and face shape. He finished both the hubby and my haircut within no more than 30 minutes. Yaaaaas! Free to go and do my thangs!!! And the hair style I ended up with gave me so much volume and no need for products. Joey is truly skilled. I then made another appointment for color a few days later.... Really don't want to spend $300 for bayalage at Melrose/Beverly area anymore... Trying to cut cost.. So going to try here. Turned out awesome, at a fraction of the cost! Why haven't I come here sooner??? Ahhhhh! So basically, if you come here, don't expect to be pampered....BUT expect to save time, walking out looking fabulous and with still lots of money in your wallet. Highly recommended! Make your appointments early, they really do get busy. (It helps if you speak mandarin or Cantonese, but they also can communicate in English. Just be a little patient. It's a family business.) read more

Make sure you make an appointment over the phone! A friend referred me to Joey. He did a great job on my hair in about 20 minutes and cost 15$. According to my friend Joey used to cut hair for 50$ however now they are opening up a new business so mens cuts are 15$. The place is rather small and located in the back and I think they are running the salon in a building that seems to be where they live too. The set up is like a salon on one half in the building and the other half seems to be a house. The parking lot only has room for 4 cars just FYI. read more

After coming here for years Joey is the only person that I can sit down and tell him to cut my hair and he will do an outstanding job every single time, though I do not dye my hair, my Asian friend from Hong Kong does dye/color his hair here at Hair Mission and yeah he looks like a Chinese / K-pop / J-pop superstar all the time. Lol read more

It's a family run business, the husband, Joey is the stylist, his wife does the cleaning, coloring, and cashier. Appointment only, and they are on time and quick. With the price being $15, they do a quite detailed job, and spend about 20 minutes to make sure the cut is good. Very friendly, and follows instructions good. I always tell him I would like to keep the length, and he does exactly that, never had an incidence where he cut too much away. Very reliable. read more

I came here to look for a reasonable price hair cut. Especially for guys, we need to fix our hair around every one month so it's not reasonable for me to spent like $40 every month. I showed Joey my precious photos from Taiwan before starting. He communicated with me well (in Chinese) and did a really good job within 30min! I showed these photos in every salon I went to and so far only one did a nice job but it costs me around $40. I am very surprised that I only spent $15 here and got my hair done even better than my previous photos I showed him. I am the first customer at 11:30am and lots of ppl came in while I was having my cutting so make sure you make a reservation! Their service is just okay but I don't care this part that much. I am here for a nice hair cut, not for a nice service but poor hair cut! Definitely come back again. read more

i came here looking for a alternative to all the cheap haircuts surrounding san gabriel blvd. boy was i blown away by how professional and efficient the hairstylist joey is. his techniques and explanation for my hair situation was extremely knowledgeable. Even when i was a first time customer, he manage to figure my hair type, through some exploration of my hair. what i like was that he didn't kept talking like some hair salons. which was a blessing. the location is a bit small, and the parking lot does get packed. they are only by appointment only. its a family run operation, so there is no force sale of products down your throat. so come by there if you can. read more

I walked into this hair salon to have a haircut after having read good reviews on yelp. The woman, who was sitting at the desk resting her head on her palm, greeted me with an abrupt YES!!! Also when I tried to make an appointment over the phone, she had a rude tone in her voice. I immediately walked out. I don't like doing business with rude people so will never be their customer. read more

I've been seeing Joey for many many years, before they even opened this shop. He's amazing, fast, and although a drive for me--completely worth it. Just leave a message if you can't reach him and his wife and they'll call back. I suggest making an appointment because they get busy and respects everyone's time. I've seen people walk in expecting to be seen but they are turned away because Joey is a professional. read more

I have been going to Hair Mission to do hair cut for many year to now, Joey is very friendly and professional.
