Maggie is the best! I always call ahead and request an appointment with her. Many people end up just walking in, but I will say it gets a little busy Thursday-Saturday. It can be difficult to find hair salons that have experience with Asian/Vietnamese hair specifically, but Maggie is well trained and very skilled. One time, she found a wallet on the side of the street with a library card inside, and since I was headed to the library afterwards, I volunteered to walk it over. After leaving a message with the library, I later got a call and we had successfully returned the wallet to its owner! She even gifted me orchids as a thank you, which I promptly gave to Maggie. 10/10 I don't get haircuts anywhere else. Bring cash :] read more

No frills hair salon. It seems they specialize in men hair because all the customers were men. I took the kid here for a hair cut. They cut the hair right. $25 cash read more

It's been 4 years since my original review. I had the same haircut for those 4 years and recently wanted to make a change to my hair. I showed Maggie a picture of what I wanted and what resulted was nothing at all with what I showed her. I wanted something that maintained some of my length that I worked hard to grow but much of it was chopped off without at all asking the length I was comfortable with. The haircut she gave me aged me back to the 1980's lol. This place often does have appointments and walk-ins -- the stylists here try to fit as many people as possible. I had an appointment, but I felt like I was being rushed and just given whatever. s It seemed like she even knew she didn't do the job right as she just said "it will grow out". :/ After 4 years, it's time for me to find another stylist. For what it's worth, you can still get a decent haircut for $30 as long as it's simple and something that can be done in 10-15 mins. read more

Solid spot for men's classic cuts at a Great value. Price in 2024 is $23 dollars for a men's cut, and left feeling *Very* pleased. Great value for salon type experience. The staff are very kind & knowledgeable. My hair lady had great scissorwork & solid trims with the clipper, really taking her time to pay attention to every detail. Just know & ask the staff for what you want, and they got you covered. Pro-Tip: Cash only, parking is hard to find though very MUNI accessible. I wish I asked the name of the lady who did my hair today. Very kind, very professional, and just what I need for my work. Thank you for your services! Will be back again. read more

Maggie is my go to for a haircut although she takes quite a bit of vacation so you might have to plan around that. Connie also does a solid job too! read more

No frills shop to get a haircut. I've been coming to Connie on and off for the past 3 years. I usually call to make a appointment and I know she is off on Sundays and Mondays. The prices have gone up and it's now $20 for a haircut. I usually have gunk, gel, or pomade in my hair so I request to have my hair washed for additional $5. This is a great price considering many barbershops charge $50 or more for a haircut now. Connie is really friendly and does a great job of spending close to 30 minutes or more on your hair. I usually request for a fade and a "hardline". She asks you to rinse your hair after the cut and blow dries your hair before styling it for you if you want. I leave a satisfied customer! read more

Just moved to the area and needed a haircut desperately. Maggie was great! She did a mid skin fade with a trim on top perfectly. Straightforward and good communication. Her and the other stylist there were friendly and had quick service. They take walk-ins or you can call to schedule. Cash only but for $20 a haircut it's so worth it. Solid place that I will for sure keep going to :) read more

Fast, quality men's haircuts. If you want a standard men's haircut (fade with a combover) and you want to be in and out in 10-15 min, this is the place to go. read more

HALF HEAD HAIR LOSS**** I said "please don't bleach on bleached hair", she ignored, saying "why you so baby lah" kept bleaching all, messy. now I have hair loss. They don't know how to do with females hair. read more

I always make an appointment for a haircut whenever I contact them. The haircut costs $23 for men, and the service is exceptional. It's definitely better than Supercuts, and the price is very reasonable. read more

THEY FUCKED UP MY HAIR FR i went into ming yuet with armpit length hair and asked for them to layer it, showing a picture if what i wanted. they immediately started cutting and cut it to chin length. I LOOKED LIKE AN AUNT AND MY PROM WAS IN 3 DAYS! i was so sad.... i had to go to another salon and get it layered/fixed. i will not forgive them because they ruined my prom look. read more

Ming Yuet Stylist - they cut my hair sooo short when all i wanted was layers (my hair was down to my armpits before the hair cut) - Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

Female please DONT GO TO THIS PLACE. The hairstylist will lie that she can do your request but she doesn't have the skills. It's not her fault that she doesn't have skills but not being honest! When you noticed she is not following what you want and you reminding her she would ignore and not responding to you! She messed up my hair and cut the hair near my ear short, I couldn't tight it and it's weird!!! She told you you can walk-in but when her next appointment came she would rush through your hair and said it's good. She would tell you low price and charge higher after. She accepted cash only and I hope she report all the income. Not I want to suspect but what she does make people think she escaped good amount of tax and obtained support from government. read more

Maggie is really good at what she does, highly recommended. Lots of meter parking in the area

Great place to get a haircut at an affordable price. People here are really friendly and they do a good job cutting my sons hair. read more

All the stylists are excellent! Pricing is great and they take reservations or walk ins. Would totally recommend for a no frills men's cut.

Connie is the best. Easy scheduling. No frills. Just what I need. I always just call ahead to make sure I don't need to wait. The price is very reasonable. Can't find a more convenient place near where I live read more

Maggie is super friendly. She asked what my son and I how we wanted our hair cut and did a great job on our hair . Maggie and us have masks on all the time so it is Covid-19 safe. I will definitely come back again . I would recommend to call in for appointment so that you don't need wait and for covid safety. She putbbig "Open" sign outside when shop open. So if the door is locked, just give her a call. She probably with another customer or just resting inside. read more

A budget-friendly and lovely hair salon if you don't care too much about the details and just want a trim. Before coming to Ming Yuet, my last haircut was a year ago. It was December and I already planned to get my hair cut in April (which did not happen LOL) and I was really sick of my crazy long hair (around my waist), I spent so much time washing and drying my hair in the winter. It wasn't efficient in both time management and energy saving (haha). I heard about Ming Yuet and some of my friends have been its long-time customer. To be honest, I was really nervous since most customer photos are a few years old. I was debating, then I thought "I'm getting a trim anyways, the worst it could be is just... I let it grow out for 3 months and get it trim again." With that mindset, I really have nothing to lose, also I was very much looking forward to saving my time, my shampoo/conditioner, and my water bill. Sounds pretty fair, right? I called in the morning to see if I can squeeze into last minute appointment, and luckily I did! I was greeted by the stylist, she was super friendly and asked about what I wanted for my hair. I told her I just need a simple trim and keep the same length. We chatted when she was trimming my hair, and it was done in 15 mins. Days after my trim, I did notice that both sides in the front weren't symmetrical,... my hair was still long (around my chest) so I don't think anyone would notice, and I planned to grow my hair anyways. I paid $25+tips and I was totally fine with it. read more

I'm very happy with Connie. I've been getting haircuts from her for a couple of years now. Nothing fancy, just a plain man's cut, but she handles her hair cutter and scissors with sure hands and a good eye. She's also a very nice person! read more

Omg, I came in & asked for trimmed long layers with a side bang. She immediately starts laughing because I have a lot of hair. I have thick & curly hair btw. She started cutting my hair like it's an effing paper snowflake. . Cuts INCHES off my hair & laughs the whole time while I'm clearly upset. She doesn't wet my hair with a spray bottle or tells me what she's gonna do. She keeps asking me if I want more layers. COMPLETELY unprofessional!!! I wish I could tell you her name!! If she didn't know what to do she should have been honest & said she cannot do it. She had the audacity to ask me to pay her. THIS PLACE WILL F%*^ UP YOUR HAIR- DO NOT GO THERE. read more

Cool for simple cuts, not for complex styles or shaver designs, but great for a cheap quality regular men or boys cut! No appt and open sunday with no wait. read more

This is a review mainly for the younger lady, I believe she had a slight red hair dye. I asked for a 0 fade and she ended up giving me a 0 on all sides because she was too busy chit chatting with her coworker and when I finally got a line through my side, she CUT me.... TWICE!! The other ladies seem more professional but unfortunately I will never know as I am never coming back BUT I have gotten clean hair cuts by the lady with glasses but STAY AWAY from the mean looking one with red hair. read more

A pretty average place to get a haircut. For the type of haircut, I don't think I'm willing to spend $15 on it. You're better of going back to Chinatown and get those $6 haircuts. Because at the end of the day, no matter where I go, I never even once received the exact same haircut as from the photos I show to the stylists. To be honest, does it even matter anymore what photos you show them? Because for guys they will always trim your side 0 or 1 and cut your hair on top a little bit. I'm just a bit tired of looking like a clone getting the same haircut as every other man and not getting the haircut that I want. Until this industry changes I will cut my own hair from now on. read more

Very nice lady did an amazing job. I went there for a high fade before an interview. I was very impressed.

Connie and Maggie are really great, and really affordable. I try to always leave a tip because it really is such a great deal for the low cost, and they're also very nice and friendly people. They don't take too long either, 5 out of 5 for sure. read more

Good priced no frills haircut. Listen to directions well and offers great advice. Great men's cut for the price with quick turn around and no appointment needed. Offer to rinse hair after but I'm always in a hurry. 2-3 stylist working. Walking distance for me so it's worth my time. read more

I always ask for Maggie. On Saturdays she can get booked for the entire day so I like to come in on Sundays. On Friday nights she's supposed to close at 6pm but sometimes she will stay open late to take care of her customers. I would call ahead to make an appointment. She also has 2-3 other stylist there at a time that can cut hair but Maggie is just so good with my hair. Men's hair cut is only $12, CASH ONLY. Parking is easy to find in the near by residents. read more

My third time here! Would definitely come back again! Annie and her mother are so friendly and care about their customers. I usually come for highlights, coloring and layers every few months. They both do a very great job! Just went in recently and made an appointment for hair coloring. They're doing a great job with all the current social distancing procedures which only allows them two customers/workers inside. Definitely support this business, they're doing a great job sanitizing and servicing their customers during this time! :) read more

Terrible. My daughter came here 4 days before her prom asking for them to just layer her hair. Instead, they cut her armpit length hair to her chin! They did not even achieve their job of layering the hair-- it was choppy, thick, and uneven. She looked like an aunt from the 80s! The woman cutting her hair kept on tugging my daughter's hair down after she cut it, as if to try to make it longer. She knew she messed up! My daughter cried for hours and begged me to book an appointment with my hair stylist at another salon to fix it! The hair was beyond repair, we could not add extensions or anything! We had to cut it shorted and layer it in order for the haircut to even be wearable outside! Rushed and incompetent! read more

Great for men's haircut! I was looking for a place that was budget-friendly, but didn't completely ruin my hair. Every time I have gone, they have cut my hair exactly to my liking. For context: I have permed hair that I feel could be a little difficult for some people to cut, but they have done a perfect job of cutting it! Personally, it doesn't matter who you go to. read more

I have been coming here very frequently for a haircut from Connie and she always does a good job of giving a great haircut! She cuts it very quickly and in terms of pricing it is very fair compared to other areas in San Francisco as it is only $20 for a haircut. read more

My first review ever here, and it's for great reason. Both Maggie and Annie make you feel at home here, like the feeling you get when you go to your favorite restaurant and it tastes like home cooking. Not to mention the best prices in town, they listen and do such a great job with their hair cuts. I'll dearly miss not being able to come here for my monthly haircuts as I'm moving out of town. Highly recommend coming here and supporting them through these tough times with COVID. read more

I've been coming here regularly the past few months and I've got to say the are great. Maggie and Connie are both excellent and make me feel comfortable knowing they will do consistent good work. They are both very friendly and make sure I'm happy with how the cut is going. It's not the most chic barber salon but for my purposes a good haircut is all I need to be a happy returning customer. read more

Just wow. I go there three weeks ago and get a crooked haircut. I go back this time despite my better judgement because Kim's was closed. I sit there waiting for almost an hour and they let someone else go in front of me. No appointment just couldn't figure out who was next despite my telling them. I'll go wait somewhere else at least my hair won't be lop sided. read more

Ming Yuet is usually my go-to haircut place when my usual barber is booked or I just need a last minute cut. I come here probably once or twice a year (I get a haircut every 1.5-2 months) ever since my freshman year of college and have gotten every stylist at this place to attempt to cut my hair how I like it. They do appointments, but I just walk in most of the time and can get seated within 10-15 minutes. I try to style my hair in a type of Pompadour/comb-over combo so I like the sides to be tight and even. I usually ask my barber for a bald mid fade for the sides and trim the top just a bit. Anyways, my normal stylist here I called "Z" who was the only dude that works at this place. Not hard to miss him since he regularly has dyed hair. Good thing about him though is he knows the trends and he understands how to do an actual fade, not those people that say they understand and leave some uneven sides on your head. Unfortunately, I haven't seen him on my past visits so I don't think he works here anymore. The other ladies I've had in the past, I assume, don't really know what a fade is so I've just explained to go from a zero to a one on the sides which they can do fine, but sometimes cut way too "inwards" for my sides if that makes sense. They kind of trim the top way too much for my liking too. Okay, so what really impressed me on my visit this past week was Maggie! (or that's what I assume her name is since it was on the certificate at the station she cut me at) She understood I was asking for a fade and kept the haircut exactly the same as the way I styled my hair! She even asked if I wanted a line up which took me off guard. Wow I was impressed with the haircut, it felt great getting my hair cut exactly how I wanted and I'd for sure come back anytime for her. Haircuts are $15, but they have a sign in store right now saying 20% off so it's still basically the $12 its always been. read more

I had Maggie cut and straighten my hair for a total of $175 + tip. She completely FRIED off all my hair in the middle (that's where my hair parted) and in the pictures you can tell that they have grown out a bit after a few months. read more

I always come here for cuts and recommend all my friends to come here. They are super quick and cheap!! I usually only go for trims. But this week I was sick of my long long hair so I made an appointment during my lunch to come in at 545- right before they closed! I came in, showed them the pic of what I want, and they chopped it in 10-15 minutes!!! And I love it!!!! Edit 8.27 - they most recently ruined my hair. I used to think telling them exactly what I wanted was sufficient. But now I think a job of a good stylist is know what works and what doesn't. And she told me if I curled it, it would look better. I don't want to have to curl it everyday, u already messed it up! I made an emergency appointment w my old stylist 2 hours later to have a fixed. read more
