    Layered haircut
    Jessica B.

    Easy to schedule, beautiful haircut! I was impressed with the photos by this salon and scheduled my first appointment online with Simon. It was super easy to do. When I showed up, I was greeted immediately and waited for my stylist Simon. Simon showed me where I could store my large bag, and gave me a great hair wash. The chair for the wash had great massage options. Simon asked questions about the haircut I wanted and checked with me on length before making the first cut. I had very long hair and wanted to try layers, he absolutely gave me the hair cut I wanted and was very detailed as he was finishing the cut. He blow dried and styled my hair and made sure I liked it. I will definitely be back to see Simon. He was kind and very detailed. I loved my haircut and needed this after waiting a year to get it cut. Amazing talent here!

    Kevin was very respectful and knowledgeable he went above and beyond the expectations. I appreciate that a lot. I completely love my hair cut!! The hair wash with the massage chair was a cool idea I've never seen before!! I would definitely come back again!

    Kevin was fantastic! And service was great from the moment I walked in! Super attentive, and the massage fully reclined chairs for the hair was was incredible. Kevin took the time to make sure the cut, length, and style was exactly as I wanted. Great experience

    The BEFORE, a hot mess, a 3 month old perm I was completely over
    Joseph L.

    Asked on Facebook for an Asian specialty salon, this was one of 2 most recommended; definitely did NOT disappoint. Made an appointment at 12.30 for 1.45 with no stylist preference and came in, had to wait a little bit (10-15mins) understandably as I made a last minute practically walk-in appointment and all the stylist were with a client. I ended up getting Simon, who we had a small language barrier as I speak very poor mandarin but we managed to communicate and even get some laughs in! Simon was cool, attentive, asked me what I wanted and asked for a reference photo; I asked for most if not all of my permed/colored lengths to be cut and the final product was MORE than I expected it to be, I was ready to go super short which I don't normally do but Simon found a great balance that got rid of the perm, while keeping a highlight look with lots of nice texture.

    The after! I love it and my hair feels great.

    I've had services twice now with Kevin, first time was just a trim with long layers, he listened and did exactly what I asked which was fantastic! My second appointment, I cut 8ish inches of hair off into a lob/ bob. The look of shock when I showed him my inspo pic was so funny. I think he's use to everyone wanting to keep their long hair. We do use google translate for conversation and I have no issues with it at all. I can't explain how happy I am! Will be returning back again!

    Curtain bangs with long layers
    Kiana L.

    Simon did a great job with my hair. I asked for curtain bangs with long layers and he delivered! He was very accommodating and made sure that he understood what I wanted. There is a language barrier if you don't speak Chinese but he will make sure that you are happy with your hair before you leave! The haircut itself comes with a nice hair wash too so it feels like you're getting the best bang for your buck. I'll be back next time for my next haircut

    It took me nearly three years in San Diego to finally find the barber I love! I have come back to Teacher Cheng here for six months. My girlfriend found this place on the internet, and we are finally convinced that my hair is not impossible to cut or style. I just need a very good barber. The pricing is very reasonable for the quality I received, and I'm very happy. A word of advice is that they barely speak any English, so get your Translation app ready if you want to communicate with them. Highly recommended--the only barber I visit in town!

    soft layer
    C L.

    My stylist kevin did a great job! It had been almost year since I got a cut and my hair feels so refreshed. Got my dead ends off and soft layers for easy maintenance. Clean space with plenty parking and no hard selling on products which I appreciate. Def recommend! :)

    Meia M.

    Kevin did an amazing job on my haircut. He gave me the definition I needed and boosted my confidence. I really appreciated his suggestions--I'm so glad I trusted him. I'll definitely be booking with him again!

    Naydeen S.

    Lovely haircut! Kevin gave me beautiful layers that compliment my face shape and everything. Not only is the haircut nice, but the price too ;) would come here again for another trim!

    I've been going to Uyen since 2021, and it's truly the most beautiful my hair has ever looked…read more My natural hair is very fine, and when I first came to her it was just past my shoulders. Uyen added extensions and created a gorgeous bronde color. Over the years we've tried different looks, from very blonde to closer to my natural dark blonde, and I loved it every time! What impressed me the most is how healthy my hair stayed the entire time. After wearing extensions for over two years, I took them out for a while and my natural hair actually looked about 30% thicker than before (The thickest it has ever been). I just got a new set of extensions again and absolutely love them. I went from short hair to almost waist length, and this time we did wavy extensions to match my natural texture. It came out beautifully - the color matches perfectly and it looks very natural, even when I let my hair air dry without styling. Uyen is incredibly attentive and works very meticulously. She really listens and takes the time to make everything blend perfectly. I completely trust her with my hair and highly recommend her, especially if you have fine hair and are considering extensions.

She left the wefts not glued bf she put them in. Therefore tattered and damaged ends on the weft. When I told her she asked what happened. I'm not a hair dresser and trying to find someone on a Sunday to fix my mess was what I had to do because of work. I have known her for over ten years and because I couldn't get back to her ASAP she canceled all my future appointments with no phone call but through text which is extremely disrespectful. Also I referred several people and she charged me $150 more than the people I referred. I always tip 20%. I'm so glad this happened because when she was told not to worry about it I found someone to fix my hair. She asked if I wanted to come in on Tuesday when she's known for 12 years I work 12 hour days. I had no expectations of her coming in but she offered to take then out but would not put them back in. That would've been a nightmare. This has happened a couple times now. She over charges and her work has gone so down hill. I just didn't want to deal with my work and finding someone new. I should've left when she just out of no where started upping her prices only on me. I work extremely hard and she upped her prices and lowered her standards knowing I'd pay it. Don't come here!

She not only does an amazing job at making your hair fantasy real, but she does what's best to keep your hair healthy for a long period of time. She provides recommendations so you don't kill your hair and is honest about repercussions if you want to do something harmful to your hair. But gives you space to know it's still, your choice at the end of the day. This is why I did invisible bead extensions! I've colored my hair for years and it's become damaged & thin, but i love long & blonde hair so much. So, getting extensions was the best step forward. She handsewn extensions into my hair, the extensions were tight only for the first day, but now I forget I have them unless I touch my head. She did a great job and They, the extensions, are amazing !!
