I hardly ever get my hair cut because every time i do, i'm always so disappointed about how it turned out because the stylist didn't really understand what I wanted..This resulted in my short hair, which was at one point just below my ears, to grow out way past my waist-line. It was just recently, when it became annoyingly difficult to tame my hair, that I realized I need to at LEAST get a trim to maintain it. I didn't want to spent $50-100 on a cut I possibly might hate.. so I yelped a bit to see if there was anywhere that wasn't too costly, in the area, and familiar with cutting asian hair. I noticed Kim Sun Young was right next to my work, so I decided to come on a Monday morning before my work shift, and let me tell you.. Kathy is my new go-to for anything! I'm used to stylists chopping off an extra inch or two on top of what I asked them, so when she asked me how much I wanted to cut, I told her 2 inches, assuming she'd cut about 4 inches off. She was actually SO PRECISE and gave me exact measurements, which I honestly appreciated so much. She also was so knowledgeable about hair, and what style would suit me better, as well as respectful towards what I wanted. After she finished cutting my hair (I only trimmed the bottoms and fixed my layers), she felt like she wanted to do some more, so she ended up styling my hair for me, which was cool :) And the best part? The cut was only $25! I definitely definitely will be coming back here :D read more

Love this place and Grace Cho! A few weeks ago, I made the mistake of going to Carlton's Hair Salon in the Brea Mall. The reason behind this is because I don't like going into Korean establishments by myself as a Korean without knowing how to speak the language. I feel like I get dirty looks because I know the workers know I'm Korean. I always tell myself I'll learn one day, but that day hasn't come yet. Anyway, onto Kim Sun Young - for $25, my haircut was exactly how I wanted it to be with minimal communication. Amazing! I walked in this morning at around 10:00am with no appointment and Grace took me in right away. Without a second to breathe, she told me to wear a gown and then I was directed to get my hair washed. When I was ready for my hair cut, all I told her was that I wanted layers, showed her how short I wanted my layers, and agreed to getting my bangs trimmed. Within 30-40 minutes, Grace worked her magic and my hair was perfect! I didn't feel obliged to engage in awkward conversation about things I don't really care about. I was just there for my haircut and that's what I got at half the price of American establishments. read more

I love getting my hair cut here! I have been coming here for the past 2 years (and previously, Kim Sun Young in Los Angeles Ktown). Where else can a female in Southern California get a great haircut that lasts months, shampoo/blow dry, and great service for just $25? My stylist is Annie, and I always find myself coming back. Annie does a great job, is thorough, never makes you feel rushed. In fact, she always spends at least a hour on my hair, even when they're busy, making sure each layer is shaped beautifully, that my bangs are symmetrical, and that I am happy with the end result. She really knows how to cut Asian hair in a way to flatter the face, and I know because she has cut several of my other friends and we all have different face shapes, yet she has come up with different styles for all of us that look stylish and flattering. I even sent my future mother-in-law over to Annie, and in Annie's capable hands, my future mother-in-law immediately looked 10 years younger. She looked amazing! So Annie cuts age-appropriate styles that look trendy yet simple, and never high-maintenance or ridiculous. Another thing I appreciate about Annie is that she doesn't try to upsell more expensive services, like I feel most salons do (no pushing to get highlights done, extra conditioning, etc.). She's never pushy, but just patient, understanding, and will make you look amazing. Her English is limited, but is enough to communicate with you on how you want your hair done. Parking is convenient as the salon is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking spots. There's also plenty of magazines for you to read (gossip, beauty, etc.) and browse through while you wait. It's not hard to book an appointment here, as I usually make an appointment the same day. I don't need to do a lot to maintain my hair - the layers just fall nicely around my face, and I only need to come in for a trim once or twice a year. Thanks Annie!!! read more

I only trust Koreans when it comes to my hair and this is probably the best salon I've been to! I've tried them all: the cheaper/quick ones, the bougie $50 ones and even the self-starter business ones of a "great hair lady" who's from Korea but doesn't have her own salon yet. ANYWAYS, I had Kathy today and she was so polite and sweet. She literally made me show her how much I wanted her to cut my length and was very precise and cautious, which is great because Korean salon's tend to over cut a lot! I don't have a crazy hair style, it's the average Asian girl one of layers and side swept bangs lol I'm used to getting layers chopped quickly, pinned and thrown around but Kathy's method was very trained and calm. She took so much detail and care in the cut even though she was obviously tired (I was the last person for that day). And for only $25?? Such a good deal! For hair cuts I usually expect $30-$50 and I have a lot of hair so past salon's have actually charged me more for that. I will definitely be coming here again! TIP: If you have an appointment be sure to grab someone working there to notify them! They looked busy so when I came in I sat to the side and they thought I was waiting for someone and didn't realize I came for a cut. **Kathy works everyday except Sunday and Thursday read more

Let me start off by saying, I'm very secure with my sexuality; I'm as straight as they come. With that said, I can honestly say, I LOVE GETTING MY HAIR DONE AT THIS BEAUTY SALON. Yeah, I said it.....WHAT!! Growing up, my mom pretty much decided where I got my haircuts. In high school, my best friend cut my hair. When I joined the military, I cut my own hair (buzz cuts aren't too hard). After getting out, I was perfectly content at hitting the local Supercuts, Fantastic Sam's, etc (starving student and all). I chose whichever was the most conveniently located. It was never consistent. Now, a college grad with a real job, I quickly found out that looking presentable means getting a nice haircut, no matter how much it cost. Enough with the anecdotes. I love this place because, while conveniently located, the stylists really seem to know what they're doing. The lady (Annie) who cut my hair barely spoke English. I think I prefer it this way now because all I had to do was point to a magazine and say "I want that" (as opposed to trying to explain what I wanted). Before, at other places, it was simply a request to make it even (I never trusted the Supercuts lady to style my hair). At Kim Sun Young, I just point and shut my mouth. I recommend this location to anyone looking to get a good haircut for a decent price ($20+tip). Maybe I love it so much because I've never really had a haircut I've liked before or maybe it's because the head stylist looks like Hiro from Heroes (my new favorite show). My mom says I look handsome. She hasn't said that in a while, so bonus star for this place! :) read more

New in town and started a new job. Needed a good hair cut. I just can't get my hair cut at a non-Korean place ever so after a quick Google search for a Korean hair salon, I headed to Kim Sun Young. Jennifer Pi was available so I just got it cut with her. I told her I can't have it looking too short cause most of the times whenever I get my hair cut, it looks too short and takes 3-4 days to grow into a good cut. She made sure it looked good walking out of the salon. It was the best cut I've had in years. Standard Korean hair salon process: shampoo before cut, 15 min standard men's hair cut, shampoo after cut and finishing touches after 2nd shampoo. Price $25. You could probably find a $15-20 cut somewhere else but for $10, I get a peace of mind that my hair cut will look perfect every time. Had my 2nd cut today and it's perfect. Make an appointment. Jennifer's direct # is 909-379-5399 if you want to schedule outside of regular hours too. read more

Sigh, I have to find another place yet again! My visit wasn't as pleasant as the first. Kathy try to argue with me saying that I dyed my hair multiple times when in fact I dyed it once which she did! I think she confused me with another person because she was sooo SURE that she was right. She sounded confused and not confident the whole time I was there. I wanted to go a shade lighter. It turned out well, but I don't want that stress every time I get my hair done by her. Oh and the assistant. Oh my gosh, she was so rough washing my hair. She washed the dye out, but didn't do a good job at that because she rushed it. I swear she was pissed off at me. It was also weird watching her wash her own hair when I went to change out of the robe.... Disappointed. read more

I brought my nephew to cut his hair and it was successful lol Best part of this place is TIME. Whole process only took 20-30min and done. Fast and easy. Yes, interior look liked old korean style hair shop but they do their job done well. I forgot her name but she cut my nephew's hair like little kpop kids lol. $25 hair cut with this quality? Not bad at all. read more

The first time I came here, I wrote about Eric and how my hair cut turned out. I decided to give this salon a second chance, but through the reviews I read here, I decided to try someone new. So I made an appointment with Grace. And WOW. Grace is GOOD. She's amazing and totally great! She does exactly what you want and how you want it to look like. I told her I wanted a trim, to keep the length and to re-style my bangs. She did exactly that and asked if I wanted to add more layers. I looked at it and decided against it. I told her no and she said okay and started to blow dry my hair. And she curled my hair with a flat-iron (it was amazing to watch) for free. Let me tell you about my hair too. It was long, down below my chest. And with very little hair and completely out of style. So I was a girl with long hair that needed a hair-cut. And Grace did a good job. She even gave me some tips on how to keep my hair healthy and showed me how to curl it with a flat-iron. She also told me that I shouldn't curl it so often, but to blow dry after I shower and to apply some creme on before I blow try to protect my hair. I thanked her and paid her all this for just $25 and $6 plus for tip. I'm rethinking about adding layers, but I don't think it would turn out so well. But Grace is great there. I totally recommend going to her for a hair cut for girls with long hair. I don't know about other hair-types for as for me and my hair situation, I recommend her. Grace also speaks English, so she's good to go to for those who do not speak Korean or aren't Korean (I'm not Korean nor speak the language Grace also did not make me wait like Eric did. Instead she was waiting and ready to go when I arrived which worked great for me because I had class that day so I needed to go in, cut and leave. My sister, who has short hair, is going to go soon to Grace for a re-style cut. She wants to tell Grace, "just cut it, so it brings out certain features of my face or whatever looks good." I'll update y'all with how her appointment goes. :) read more

Ive been coming here for the past ten years, even to their location in LA, this one in particular is really good. My stylist is Lauren and she always takes care of me and makes small conversation while I'm there every time. Affordable prices, easy going and always there when I need it. read more

My bestie recommended Lauren to me. She is awesome. I went in with super dry, unhealthy looking hair. She recommended that I do thicker layers that weren't so thin at the ends. It really made my hair look healthier. She also noticed that my bangs were too straight. She offered to do a ten-minute mini perm on my bangs for free. Wow. What great customer service. I had to tip her more than 20%. Her level of service just blew me away. I can't wait to go back. Haha I waited so long to post this review... I'm here waiting to be called for my appointment. read more

I took my brother here after reading the reviews on this site. I wanted to take him to the LA salon but it was out of the way from where I was. My brother's hair was pretty long and I promised him the next time I was home, I was going to get it cut. Anyways, I called to make an appointment this morning and it was very convenient that I really didn't need to call. It was more like a head's up to let them know we were coming. On our way there we got stuck in traffic, gosh, I miss SoCal. HA! We were running late so I called and informed them. We finally got there and it was located in a pretty small shopping area. We walked in the salon and it was a nice looking salon. I scared who I thought was the receptionist yet turned out to be my brother's stylist. I brought my laptop to the salon and showed her how he wanted it cut. She did speak English yet there were few words spoken between us. All I have to say is that she did an amazing job on his hair. I really liked it and above all, he liked it very much. Her name is Grace so of course I'm going to recommend her to anyone. The price was not bad at all. It was a total of $20 which is amazing for a great job. I asked my brother how much he wanted to tip her and he said $10 so the total came out to be $30. We thanked her for her awesome services and left with satisfaction. Overall, this salon earned two thumbs up for sure! read more

After moving out here to the Diamond Bar area, I was searching for a new hair stylist since driving back and forth to Los Angeles, (K-Town) was becoming tedious. My wife and I searched and found this KSY which was close to the house. After reading some of the reviews here on Yelp, we decided to give it a shot and we booked an appointment with Grace. My wife went in for a haircut and color and I went in for a regular haircut. I was very pleased with the service and haircut. My wife loved her haircut but wasn't too pleased with the outcome of the color. Grace said that she would highlight her hair for FREE because she (Grace) didn't want to use any colors that could end up damaging her hair. We even brought out little 6-month old daughter with us and they didn't even mind that she was there. I think I have found a new stylist. Recommend Grace to anyone - male or female. Appointments are not necessary but recommended. Four stars only because the facility is not as modern as some of the ones out in LA, size, decor wise, and also the waiting area. read more

For three months, I heavily contemplated about whether or not to take drastic measures with my hair. This may seem silly to most, but the decision to go from small-of-my-back to shoulder length hair was a big deal. I woke up Saturday morning determined to bite the bullet. I perused around Yelp for a hair salon that was reputable for working with Asian hair. After reading several positive testimonies from other Yelpers, I decided to make an appointment at Kim Sun Young. Initially, I was very disappointed (and slightly concerned) when I found out that the two most raved about stylists had quit. Still determined, I proceeded with my appointment. Upon entrance, I was greeted by a friendly gal who directed me to the Dressing Room to put on a robe (this primarily is beneficial to those who plan on getting a perm or color as to not stain your clothes.) After my wash and condition, Lauren (my stylist) asked what I had in mind. I said that I have never ever had a short cut before and wanted to try the long A Line Bob cut, then proceeded to show her some pictures on my phone. She took a look at the pictures and then my hair and face. I asked her what her thoughts were and Lauren gave me her honest opinion, advising me to try out a more flattering cut and not go as short as I had intended. Initially, I was a bit displeased that she was talking me out of what I wanted. But thank goodness I let her vision and fingers work its magic because my hair turned out great! The suggested length worked out better than what I had originally envisioned. It's only been a couple of days but I have already received a lot of compliments from friends. What I really liked about Lauren's work was that she didn't rush through the session. She took her time and meticulously trimmed in portion to ensure that the lengths matched and was flattering to my face. I adore the fact that after the styling, she provided some helpful tips on how to style and manage my bangs. Will be coming here next time I need a trim! read more

I was first introduced to Kim Sun Young while living in L.A. I had my hair done at the salon in K-Town, and it turned out to be a "so-so" cut. As a consumer, I hate...no, LOATHE it when anybody tries to push their services or products onto me, and so that put a damper on my L.A. experience. That, and the fact that my boyfriend got a PERM when he asked for haircut recommendations (I thought it was funny, he did not. Ha!). Anyway, before I knew it, it came time again to get my hair cut. After the extensive search for a salon, I ended up looking at this particular branch of KSY, mostly because it was close-by and a decent price. Thanks for my good ol' Yelpers, I made an appointment with Eric, and got there 10 minutes before closing time. To summarize, Eric did an amazing job. No, seriously. I'm not just saying that because I feel obligated now that I have this hairstyle for the next few months, but under his styling, I found out that my hair has volume that I never knew it possessed. He's also quite honest, in a nice way. I asked him if he could cut my hair with longer more side-swept bangs, and he said, quite politely, "Uh...no. Um...long bangs make faces look fat." Okay. Looks like no long bangs. Anyway, point is, I definitely recommend Kim Sun Young. It may be a miss if you don't know who to ask, but follow the Yelpers' advice and ask for Eric Kim. I paid $30 for a haircut, and my boyfriend paid $15 for a haircut. We're both extremely satisfied with our cuts, and would definitely go back. Yes, the language barrier will be a problem if you don't understand/speak Korean, but most of the salon have sufficient English-speaking abilities to communicate your ideas and whatnot. If all else fails, point, and assert. read more

Lauren's my girl........ My 16 yrs old son LOVES her. He loves the Korean look if you know what I mean and Lauren seems to get it right each time. He refuses to have anyone else cut his hair. She also give me killer bangs and has great tips and tricks on how to make my hair look fuller. I haven't found anyone who can style my bangs to my liking for awhile. I no longer to need to search. They recently raised their price by $5.00. Here's the new price for haircut. Men's = $25 Ladies = $30 ------------------------- Total = $55 + Tips My son's handsome face and my pretty bangs............PRICELESS! read more

HOLY MOLY!! So like i get my hair cut meehhhbeee like once a year and the place i used to go to i just WAS NOT havin' it with them... they permed my hair and it was not lookin good so i KNEW i had to find a new salon. YELP NEVER FAILS! Stumbled upon this gem one night and thought I'd give it a try! I remember seeing it and remembering it looking supes fancy so i never really gave it a second thought. But $25 for a haircut was good for me, so i thought I'd give it a shot! Called in early friday and made an appointment fro 11am. RIght when I got there, Kathy( or Cathy?) took me in right away and got me a robe and took me to get washed. She was very understanding of what I wanted to do with my hair and when I told her I wanted to keep the length she did NOT go cray and cut off a million inches like other asian peepz. ALso, I told her that i curl my hair alot thats why i wanted to keep it long, so she curled my hair for me afterwards TOO! WHATTA AWESUM PERSON (': SHES GREAT. KIM SUN YOUNG IS GREAT. YELP IS GREAT. I RECCOMMEND! read more

I've been going to Mi Chung unni for the past 20 years (no joke). She always knows what I'm thinking, no matter how vague I am about describing it. From haircuts to dye jobs to magic straight to digital perms, you name it, Mi Chung unni has done it for me! We (the whole fam) don't go to anyone else for a reason :) Ask for Mi Chung! read more

Kim Sun Young - Digital perm by Mi Chung! The color and highlights were also done by her ~ a year ago! - Hair Salons Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

Great fan of Annie and Eric Kim!!! Annie has been my hair stylist for over 3years. Ever since I've met her, my hair style and quality has been so much better. I love my hair stylist and will continue to go when she move to the new location on May 1st. The new location is 19745 E Colima Rd #3, Rowland Heights, HAIR PERFECT. She's the best!!!! read more

Got hair cut with Eric. Love the style. He really knows what looks good with your face feature. Price is very affordable, $25 plus tip. Definitely will go back. He doesn't talk much, which is pretty good if you like just sit and read and get your hair done. read more

This place makes me feel like the girl in the Pantene commercial every time I walk out after a deep-conditioning treatment. I get deep-conditioning at every haircut appointment and let me just say that they do it best here. They make their own hair concoction and it is amazing! They delicately apply it on small strands of your hair and do this thing to make the hair penetrate it. The process can take a while and the longer you keep it on, the better. Make sure you allow enough time, say about 3-4 hours, including the haircut. The wait is so worth it. Their staff is very friendly and even the ones who can't speak much English, still try to spark up friendly conversations. I think it's a good gesture. For haircuts, I recommend Eric, their head-stylist. He really pays attention. read more

I never really cut my hair because I always have bad experiences with salons, but today I decided to give this a try because my good friends recommended it and I was in dire need of a new hair do ( my hair was long, no style, frizzy, and had so many split ends...pretty gross) I was searching for a place where it they can cut well AND it would be cheap, and lo and behold, Kim Sun Young is the place to be! I walked in all awkward because everyone was Korean except me, but they were nice and welcoming enough despite the language barrier. I asked for Eric only because one of my friends said she didn't trust anyone who cut her hair besides him. I didn't make an appointment, and they said it was fine. They lead me to the back to change into a coat, and then washed my hair. Afterwards I waited for about 10 minutes for Eric since he was busy working on someone else's hair. When he was finished, he came to me and worked on me right away by brushing my hair and asking me what I wanted. I'm no hair expert so I just said side bangs, and layered hair, but don't cut it too long. And right away Eric knew what I meant. He worked very diligently and efficiently, and in the end he even took the time to style my hair. He even knew I haven't cut my hair in a while and told me to come in a few months for a minor trim to keep the style if I wanted. In the end, I was happy with the results and was expecting a whopping 40 bucks or so, but it was only 25 dollars + tip! I ended up giving Eric 10 bucks cuz I loved my hair so much. I'm definitely coming back here again :) read more

I've been to Kim Sun Young a couple of times now and it's one of my favorite places to get a haircut even though I don't live in Socal. The prices are reasonable and my haircut always looks good and better than I expect. read more

I have been wanting to write a review for Cathy, who has been my hair stylist for the last year or so. I was fed up with my older stylist who has been charing higher and higher prices but has gotten more and more disrespectful. I decided to yelp and try out Kim Sun Young. When I walked in, I was immediately attended by Cathy, my hair stylist. I was led to the back to get my hair washed. And when she was ready to begin, she listened attentively for what I wanted and gave me suggestions. I am very satisfied with my haircuts whenever i get my hair cut by Cathy. Last december, when I went to get my hair cut, it was REALLY FREEEZING. And Cathy was SO nice; she asked if I was cold and then proceeded to turn up the heat for me. Another time, she curled my hair for me just to show me how I could style my hair. This is just one example that shows that Kim Sun Young really values their customers. Overall, I highly recommend Kim Sun Young :) Will be trying out coloring this summer~~ Will update my review then! read more

Hey guys, For those of who want Jennifer P. to cut your hair, she moved to a different location. Jennifer now works at Hyun Hair at 21030 Golden Springs Dr Diamond Bar, CA 91789 Her number is (909)-379-5399. Thanks. read more

Did my hair here with Kathy and my nails. Kathy was very sweet and nice. She is very detailed and takes her time. I can tell she has experience but with that said my hair didn't turned out they way I pictured it the first time. I had dyed my hair black 1 year ago and Kathy did not want to damaged my hair so rather than bleaching it slightly to get a medium brown, she dyed it brown instead. The next few days people pointed out that they can tell my hair slightly uneven color. I called Kathy and she schedule me another appoint that weekend to have it dyed again (this time bleaching for 10-15 minutes). Overall I appreciate it that she didn't want to damage my hair but at the end still have to get it bleached. BTW, she didn't charge me for the second appt. My fiend and I had our nails done here too. Not bad but nothing special. Maybe next time will pick a different style. read more

Review for Jennifer Pi- my little one has thick asian hair and spending a little more here over a barber is worth it. ( I take my older son to Imperial Barber in Rowland Heights). I brought her a photo and she copied it exact. When bringing a photo - google the ethnicity too. Don't bring a photo of baby fine Caucasian hair if you have thick wire-y hair. When she cuts my son's hair, it always grows in stylishly and lasts about 3 months without looking wacky. Jennifer also looked at a photo I brought for my cut and replicated it nicely. They wash, cut, blow out and style for $30. I think my son's cut was $20. Remember to tip your stylist & a also a little something for the lady that washes your hair. Ps she's pretty quiet so don't take offense. read more

Kim Sun Young - Me and sonny boy after our cuts by Jennifer Pi of Kim Sun Young Diamond Bar - Hair Salons Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

I'm disappointed. I read the reviews and was excited to have my hair trimmed by Jennifer. I wouldn't say the trim was bad; it just not what I wanted. Jennifer was nice but she didn't take much time to do my hair-- about 5 minutes and it's done. I guess I came in a bad day; she seems to have a cold. I hesitated if I should go back to her and have my hair re-trimmed again but I was only visiting L.A. for a few days. So I will live with the style she decided for me for the time being. Will not go back anyway. read more

I usually just read reviews. Never write them. But this time I am making an exception. The first time I came here was a couple years ago to get a new and different hair cut before leaving for college Summer 2011. The hairstylist I had gave me a really nice A-line cut and I was pretty happy. One year later I visit this place again to even out the cut and get my layers back. I find out that my previous stylist was no longer there and so I tried a new stylist, Kathy. Again I was deeply satisfied with the cut. She tried her best to even out my hair without cutting it too short. Not only that, despite her accent she was very easy to talk to. Fast forward to this past June, I got my hair cut again by Kathy, she made sure that my trim was what I wanted and offered suggestions. Again she was very nice and talked about her family and asked me about school so I wasn't sitting there just waiting for her to cut my hair. I really appreciate how friendly and open she was. Today, before I start my 3rd year in college, I wanted to try something new with my hair. I originally made an appt with Kathy again. This time for a loose curl perm. Once I walked into the salon, Kathy greeted me right away and after a second she recognized me, asked me how I was and even slightly hugged me (I obviously was visibly caught off guard so it was a bit awkward). I then inquired about dying my hair ombré in addition to the perm. Kathy was genuinely concerned about doing too much to my hair and risking damaging it. She made sure to test and check that my hair was healthy enough for both procedures. Her expertise was also very helpful in deciding what exactly I wanted and what would be possible and look good! I was in the salon for a little over 2 hours but rather than having me just sit there and wait, she brought a stool for me to put my feet up and magazines to look at. During the time she was actually working on my hair she patiently answered my questions and even talked to me more about herself. I also want to give a shout out to the salon assistant Julia. Her scalp massages were great! In the end, my hair didn't look exactly like the pictures I brought in but Kathy adapted to my hair type, face shape etc. I had to wait until my hair air dried to see the final result and I couldn't be any happier! Kathy really knows what she's doing! I recommend this salon for all your hair needs. It's very well kept and the stylists are very capable and nice (: read more

Lauren is very professional and a good stylist. She knows which style would look best on you. Also, she tells you lots of good tips about how to care for your hair. Thank you :) read more

This place ain't bad. Consistent quality and affordable price. I've randomly stayed at my roommate's family's house twice and each time I've been able to squeeze in a quick haircut. Cash tip only and they mainly speak Korean read more

I've been a customer of Grace for the last couple years and she's been a great hairdresser. She always knows how to stylize your hair based on your wants and needs and does an amazing job every time I get my hair colored and cut. She's also not pushy like some other places that tell you need a hair conditioning or treatment which try to make you spend more money..I get so uncomfortable when hairdressers do those sales tactics when you just want to get a haircut. -..- I recommend Garce because she is a good listener and she gets the job done as you want it. If you are not Korean and if there's a language barrier, you probably want to bring a photo of the hairstyle you want. She's very good with layering hair and doing trendy Korean hair styles. read more

This salon is awesome !!!! Grace cut my hair and she did a great job! I briefly explained to her that I wanted to stick with length and more layers, she did exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend her to any women out there that is very specific about her cut :) Julie- read more

I do frequent this place whenever I'm back home in the Diamond Bar area, but the sad thing is it's inconsistent. I have had both wonderful experiences as well as horrible experiences where I've had to wait for long extended periods of time just to get my hair washed and cut. Definitely try asking for the main hairstylists name whenever you're there... she's an older korean lady that speaks pretty good English and she always does a good job on my hair. read more

I have been going to this place for 3 years. I always ask Lauren to cut my hair. She can read my mind!

This is so long overdue as Jennifer Pi has been cutting my hair for well over 3-4 years. She cut my wedding hair actually. She is a true professional. Detail-oriented, talented and skilled, she always delivers. Even after countless visits, she still takes care and attention with each haircut or treatment. If you have a request, she will accommodate it but will also give you her expert opinion. Also, I'm always amazed that she herself has a different hairstyle EVERY time I see her, which is at a least every month--that's great brand representation!!

I was needing a haircut and was looking all over yelp for a place that does a decent hair cut without paying an outrageous amount for just a simple haircut. I found that here and looked at all the glowing reviews about this place and with Jennifer Pi. So, I called the morning of and got an appointment with Jennifer Pi herself for the afternoon. When I got there, Jennifer was very attentive to what I wanted. I wanted to keep the length of my hair and she said she would take off 1/4 inch. She actually did. Amazing how she actually did! Most Korean hair stylist will do what they want and always chopped off twice as much as I wanted. She didn't. My hair came out flawless. One thing I loved about Jennifer is that she gave me so much advice about keeping my hair healthy. I knew this wasn't just fake because she was describing how specifically my hair grows and how my hair roots are face, etc. She gave me great tips to keep my hair healthy and they way I want it to be. Most other stylists are just trying to sell me products when they say these things. Needless to say, I'll be back again :) read more

I would give 5 starts if the lady who wash the hair can be more earnest. Lauren cut my hair and I'm loving it!! I got a lot of compliments after I cut my hair. She is super fast and friendly. I referred a lot of my friends to her and they all end up really happy but the lady who wash the hair. read more

This review is for Kathy and the services I received. I went in on Friday afternoon, it wasn't too busy (luckily for me! though I heard weekends can get very busy). Kathy: very patient and nice, I took forever to make up my mind on what kind of hair treatment/perm I want, then another century to decide what color I want to go with.... Kathy didn't rush me, just kept giving me her input on the different ideas I mentioned. Brazilian Blowout: the best I've ever gotten! I've gotten brazilian blowout by Fanny in the past, I have to say Kathy does it so much more detailed! I felt like I was really getting my money's worth. Coloring: after hearing my concern about dryness and root growing out, Kathy recommended semi gloss coloring as it makes hair appear more healthy. And she recommended a darker color so that it doesn't grow out as obvious and she also explained that the lighter color I go with, the more it will dry up my hair. Conclusion: I love love love my hair, went to Florida (where it's hot and humid), hair was silky smooth, color is natural and shiny! Price was reasonable! Oh and a haircut is included with the Brazilian blowout, can't comment much on Kathy's cut because I only asked for a trim to keep the length.... read more

This review is for Esther, the manicurist. I have no opinion about the hair styling or cutting here. I walked in today around 5 pm without an appointment and was led to a small room in the back of the salon. Esther was laying down on a table behind a privacy screen (probably taking a nap). I don't mind that she was taking a nap as she didn't have any customers waiting for her, but I DID mind that her tools weren't in a sterile package and that she was trying to sell me Korean Atomy products. She gave me a brochure to read while getting my pedicure done, and even pressured me into taking a vitamin C powdered sample hoping that I would like it and buy the products she was heavily pressuring me to buy. The color selection was not as extensive as other nail salons that I've been and the lacquer on most of the nail polishes looked old and dry. The actual pedicure was mediocre, but expensive at $20 + tip considering that it was just a pedicure without a spa chair massage. To top it off, when she put my slippers back on, she smudged the polish on my big toe & did a hasty, careless touch up. I'm assuming that because I didn't like and/or purchase her Korean Atomy products that she didn't want to make sure that my nails were properly done. She didn't place a fan on my toes or put it under any UV light to speed up the drying process. I'm disappointed with the pedicure experience here and would NOT recommend her to anyone. I was hoping to have a good experience so that I could try getting my hair done here, but I wouldn't return here again after this sub par experience. read more
