They…read morehappily accept walk-ins and deliver excellent haircuts for both women and men--my partner and I have both left looking sharp and feeling great. On our most recent visit, we arrived close to closing time, but the team graciously accommodated both of us, staying well past hours to provide thorough, unhurried service that lasted over two hours. The attention to detail was impressive, and they made sure we were completely satisfied with the results. The wife on the team is an absolute gem--warm, engaging, and always happy to chat, which makes the whole experience feel welcoming and fun. Ken's Hair Design consistently goes above and beyond with amazing service and genuine hospitality. Highly recommend for anyone looking for skilled stylist who truly cares about their clients!

I never write reviews on yelp but this is the most horrific haircut experience I've ever had in my…read morelife. I came to her asking for a long bob with long wispy face framing bangs, brought a reference photo. I told her that I've lost a lot of hair postpartum and hoping to cut it short to strengthen the hair and cover up thin hairlines. Her cut was extremely short and choppy, and she did a horrific, choppy job with the bang, bringing them all the way above my eyebrows and they're shorter on the outside than the middle. When I told her this she blamed me and said because I had no hair for her to cut. She repeated this so many times that it brought me to tears because of how rude and horrible it was. I will never forget this nightmare.

I was scared to cut my hair short and now I have never loved my hair more, I feel lighter, younger like this haircut was made for me.

My daughter really wanted a haircut in Chinatown... I think because it'd feel cool and authentic. I…read moredunno. Anyhow, reviews were good here so we came on this rainy day, only to find no customers, 2 older men (1 was just watching tv), and a lot of old old old things lying around, like magazines from the 1970s (am I on a set of Back to the Future?!!) and dying plants. I wasn't sure if this was retro-cool or if I should grab my kid and make a run for it. A half hour later, the older man's blade scraping was done (that's how he "cut" her hair; not with scissors). He did everything very slowly. I'm not sure if that meant he took his time or that's just how fast he can go, but he asked questions a long the way in Cantonese, which none of us speak. (I can speak some Mandarin.) We were anticipating a possible language barrier so we brought a photo to show him, but he didn't look at it for more than a couple seconds, didn't acknowledge it, and definitely DIDN'T cut my daughter's hair to resemble that photo. He did, however, ask throughout the haircut questions, like "layers?" "This short?" "Bangs?" I think? I'm just guessing at this point. My daughter was a good sport and left saying, "It's just hair. It'll grow!" And, "You can fix the sides and the front when we get home, right mom?!!" Ummm... It was only $18 + tip, and you must pay in cash. **TIP** If you go, you just have to be flexible and know that it's a haircut, so that's exactly what they're gonna do: cut your hair shorter. That's the only goal here. The style will be a mystery till it's over! Haha. But at least it'll be precise because the man we got works really slow. The place wasn't clean and was very old, but basically what I'd expect from a salon in Chinatown. Even with all that said, I would totally go back, but that's because we believe it was a good cut for the price and we aren't married to a particular style. We are really loose with this stuff. So if you are particular with what you want, you should go elsewhere.

I found all of these things with Thida at hair shaper. She does a great job cutting my long hair just as I want, while being extremely efficient.

Came in based on a referral and in need of a haircut for Valentines and the Lunar New Year. I had…read morelong hair all around as it had been a while from my last cut but gave the specific instruction to Shirley that I only wanted 1 inch or so cut off the top and for the sides to be at a 4 to a 2 down. My intention was to keep my extended undercut but clean up the sides. Since I had to take my glasses off for the haircut, I couldn't easily see how the progress of my cut was shaping out. As this place was a referral, I took it with a grain of salt that I should trust the process. But at the end, I was wrong. Shirley didn't ask me any further questions about my haircut and just cut it as she felt. Not only did she cut an extensive amount off the top of my head (at least 3 inches), I also later realized she also left the side burns uneven. Still had to spend time myself to further clean it up. It'll be months before I can have my hair at my preferred length again. Perhaps it was my fault too, as I had originally intended to get my hair cut with Annie and I couldn't get scheduled with her. However, I would not recommend Shirley at all for future cuts unless you don't care much for your appearances and the care you're given in a haircut.
