I had an excellent haircut by Amy. Technically skilled, responsive, conscientious. I decided a $20 tip was appropriate. I'll definitely come back. read more

This is actually my 2nd visit and Lien definitely knows what she is doing. I'm the type of person that will usually stick to only one hair hairdresser/stylist whenever I needed to get a hair cut. My hair is long, but it isn't completely straight like most common Asian hair. My hair had gotten to the point where I really needed a trim to get rid of a lot of the split-ends, but I didn't have time to drive all the way into SF (where I use to live before moving to Hayward) just to visit my usual hairdresser/stylist. I contacted Lien via text and she was super responsive. I was also able to schedule an appointment with her the next day during the afternoon. Not only that, Lien is super nice and friendly! She listened to my concerns about my hair and made sure everything was to my liking before I left. Great person and great service. I will definitely be contacting Lien as my go-to from now on! read more

This review was drafted in July 2014, for some reason it never posted.... This review is a little bit past due. I seen Lien 2 months ago and my hair still looks good!! I'm shock she doesn't have more reviews because Lien is AMAZING and she sure does know how to work magic on your tresses!! I cannot thank Lien enough! She literally brought life back into my hair! Here's a little background on my hair - I've bleach my hair several times throughout the years to achieve a really light blonde. Definitely put my hair thru the ringer. I decided to go darker during my previous session with another stylist before going to Lien. During my session with Lien, I asked her for a LIGHT ash blonde balayage/ombre color with multiple colors for contrast and she NAILED it!! She was able to achieve the look I was after! She also did an excellent job covering all my grays. She took her time to answer all my questions and really educated me how prevent my hair from turning brassy. What size curler will give you what look. Spent time teaching me how to curl to achieve the same look as pictured. Never rushed thru my appt! LOVE IT! Book your appt with Lien, you will not be disappointed! read more

Lien is such a delight and is absolutely wonderful!!! First impressions are definitely telling of how a relationship or experience will go and needless to say, my first impression with Lien was warm and welcoming. Getting my hair done in the capacity that I did (ombre-balayage-trim) was major to me, especially with someone new. I trusted Lien whole-heartedly and gave it a chance. Before she worked her magic my hair was previously highlighted in certain areas and mostly covered with my natural hair color (black). Lien took her time, asked me questions, offered me magazines to browse through, made me feel comfortable, and did not complain at how much hair I have. After about 2 hours, the process was done and I was totally satisfied with the outcome!!! My dark hair became a nice gradient from dark roots to light tips. Overall, I was very happy and am thankful for Lien's talent and time. Even though I got my hair done on October 2 (sorry for the late post), my hair still looks and feels amazing. I cannot wait to see Lien again soon! My family, friends, and boyfriend liked the change too! :) read more

Don't recommend... she's nice but I went to Lien for highlights and she ended up frying my hair. Not to mention my hair's a bunch of different shades from brown to blonde. I even told Lien myself what was happening, she had me come back in and all she did was cut off the damage parts and deep conditioned it. I didn't even get my money back. read more

So this is my first time having my hair done/colored which makes it a virgin hair. I have a very long, super straight, heavy and thick hair & just really bored with it, I have been following Lien on Instagram (@hairstylien) & I love what she does with hair so I went to see her & she did her magic. She did an amazing job & really listened to what I wanted & since it's my first time she explained all the details & answered all my questions, her studio is very easy to find as well and it's very clean/relaxed & I'm so happy that I went to her and now my hair is fabulous! read more

Did not actually get to have my hair done by her because I needed an emergency style asap, but she is so responsive and really tried to fit me into her schedule. When she realized it wouldn't work, she very thoughtfully recommended another place that's open early on weekends. Very much appreciate her dedication to helping out!! read more

I love getting my hair done by Lien !!! I get my hair done 2 times a year at most because I'm a tomboy like that lol. BUT , I am still getting hair compliments from people that pass by. I'm always recommending Lien to people who compliments my hair. Lien is such a nice and sweet person, it is so easy to talk to her when I'm getting my hair done. Great service && fleeked hair.... yeah most def am a regular here now. read more

Love love love Lien!!!! The first time I went to her I wanted to have a drastic change. I decided to go blonde and I did the treatment with olaplex!! After the treatment it was amazing, my hair felt healthier than it did when I started. Lien is very patient with her clients and is very social. The first time I went to her she offered me coffee or tea, and since I was tired, she allowed me to sleep while she did my hair. I ended up buying the take home olaplex product from her which was very much needed. I swear it does miracles. The second time I got my hair done by her I wanted to go darker. She trimmed my hair and went darker with olaplex treatment as well. As well as a few other things she gives great advice and she lets you know she's always there if need be to ask questions. I love how after she does my hair she leaves it off with her signature soft curls. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Overall great experience that leaves me "feelin" myself. read more

Lien is absolutely amazing! I was looking to get my hair done on such short notice because I was going to Vegas and I was lucky enough to book an appointment with her that week. I came in for a blonde balayage and she definitely did not disappoint. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and with her magic touch it turned out great! Not only is she good at doing hair, but she's so personable and really cares about her clients' satisfaction. I left very happy and I am definitely coming back. read more

HairStyLien - Blonde balayage by Lien - Hair Stylists Near Me - Hayward, California

Lien is so personable, accommodating and creative! I never really know exactly what I want to have done with my hair when I come in. So, I come in with a few pictures and tell her what I like about it and ask her for ideas. Then, she just goes along and uses her magic touch to create something that always exceeds my expectations! I've gotten so many compliments with every hairstyle she's done. For hair cuts, she has goven me a bob hair cut and layered my hair serveral times. As for color, I've done blonde, bayalage, and peekaboos of purple fading into blue hair. Also, I've gotten peekaboo blonde hair extensions from her. No matter the hairstyle, I've always gotten plenty of compliments and people asking where I got my hair done. Can't wait to make another appointment with her! read more

Lien is amazing! I have been to Lien twice now to get a balayage ombre, and both times I absolutely loved the job that Lien did. I receive so many compliments about my hair, and how great it continues to look after several weeks/months! I have Asian hair that can be difficult to work with, and Lien worked magic on my hair. My hair is also prone to brassiness, and with Lien there was NO brassiness or orange. She perfectly achieved the ash blonde color I had wanted. Aside from the wonderful job Lien did on my hair, she is such a personable person. She is so friendly and sweet, and I enjoy talking to with her and getting to know her as she does my hair. Lien is accommodating, and works around what's best with your schedule in regards to making appointments. Her salon is welcoming, cozy and comfortable. Prices are reasonable, and it is truly worth every penny. Lien is my go-to hair stylist, and I definitely recommend you pay her a visit! read more

Got my hair permanently straighten by Lien today. It's the first time Ive been to her. She's very nice and is willing to work with you on your schedule. Spoke with her on Monday and she was able to get me in Wednesday.. It took 4 hrs to do my hair. She's very patient and personable. Highly recommend her if you're looking for a hair stylist. Thanks Lien! read more

Lien is super sweet. I went from a dark black with some color to blonde! I'm glad I went to her!

All I can say is that Lien gave me such a beautiful balayage ombre today, I just can't stop looking at my hair! I showed her one picture and she knew exactly what to do. I'm surprised that my ends are still very healthy even though I decided to go pretty light. She seems very diligent with her work and she's also super sweet, gave full attention to everything I said I wanted and exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be coming back to her when I need a touch up, and I drive up from San Jose so that says a lot! Thanks so much Lien! read more

This was my first time with Lien and she was wonderfulI and put me at ease. I had red in my hair that I was scared to let anyone take out but she explained everything she was going to do and she got it all out and then put a nice brown in. She gave me a haircut and style that I could easily manage and do myself. I have never been more excited about my hair and my hair has never felt softer. I'll be booking more appointments in the future read more

This girl is amazing!!! I scheduled an appointment for haircut only, short notice. No problem with scheduling...squeezed me right in. I wasn't sure if I wanted a dramatic change but after speaking with Lien I decided to go short....I've had long hair as long as I can remember.... So this was going to be drastic and some getting used to!! I loved it!! I also wanted color but I knew it was too short notice... She's so sweet she had me come back a couple hours later and did my ombre balayage this is not a quick process I was so thankful she did this for me . She is my go to hairstylist from now on !!! I LOVE MY HAIR!!! read more

Lien is an amazing person and the work that she can do to your hair is speechless! she is a very detailed oriented kind of person. she makes sure you are comfortable, meet all your demands and is very considerate! she works with you one-one. she likes to give her client all the attention that they deserve so she works with one client at a time to build a relationship with one another instead of having multiple clients at one time. she doesn't like to rush when it comes to her clients' hair. that is why the results speak for itself. If you want to look amazing...then look no further...come to Lien and she will work with you to find the new you! :-) read more

Lien is a rock-star hair colorist. After eight months I still get compliments.

Lien is amazing! I got recommended to her by my best friend and her sister. I am very skeptical when it comes to hair coloring because stylists that I have been to in SF and Sacramento never did the job for me. Lien is amazing at coloring! She can help you achieve the color you want or as close to it as possible in one sitting without frying your hair! She knows exactly what she is doing. Not to mention how sweet she is. I asked for a subtle balayage for fall and she gave me that. I definitely had a good experience with her and will go to her again. read more
