Horrible. Horrible experience horrible haircut I hate it. She was just using literally stock images from google to show what she was going to do and then didn't do it. Just chopped how she saw fit and I literally have one inch long hairs near my bangs that stand on their own now. Worst haircut experience I've ever had 0/10. I left and cried for 30 minutes about how traumatizing it was watching her cut my hair. I wish I had said something but I didn't and wanted to trust the process but it was horrible. read more

They scammed me. I went there and then, I got scammed which was messed up so I am leaving a poor review because they scammed me. I thought it was just a regular hair cut but at the end they charged me wayyyy more like $70 for a haircut which was not cool. Also the cut was mid at best L establishment. read more

I moved to Pittsburgh a little more than a month ago and I've tried a couple different hair places. Previously, I've had been going to the same salon for 10 years so I was a bit nervous. They usually disappointed and one of them really screwed up yet they all had customers lining up. Then I went to Min's, which FYI has a very interesting decor (I hope you like flowers and 80s music). And I could not be happier. She really took her time with every detail, and I'm very satisfied with the result. I'll be going to Min's on a regular basis and I hope she gets more business because she really deserves it. read more

Min was a very sweet and professional stylist, but I cannot get over the prices. As a college student, paying $78 for a standard haircut, with no services like washing hair, was far too much. I called in to ask for a price for a perm, and it was $350 dollars!!! Would love to be a regular customer as I was satisfied with my haircut, but I can't recommend this to anyone at these prices. read more

My son went this place first time for a haircut although his last haircut was only 2 weeks after in New York City because that was the only weekend available for him for next 2 months. Not only she messed up his hair, she said she needs to charge my son extra because there's not much students in Pittsburgh in Summer time resulting not much customer, he needs to pay extra more. This is absurd, she overcharged him there's not much customer. Poor quality of hair cut skills, price can stretch out as she wants. Will never go back to her. read more

Min is a very skilled stylist! I've been looking for someone to TLC my long and thick Asian hair. I'm verrry happy with what Min styled my hair into! Request an appointment prior. It's just you in the salon. Note she doesn't wash your hair prior. Also, you'll enjoy the great 80s playlist. read more

Min is an incredible hair stylist. I don't care too much about my hair and have gone to supercuts for a straight chop my entire life. I usually prefer to wear my hair long and straight because Supercuts made my (East Asian) hair look so bad if it came near my shoulder length or higher.. but Min is AMAZINGGGG. I wanted face framing layers and somehow she cut my hair in a way that makes it PERFECT every day when i wake up. I get compliments all the time on my hair, even though people are only seeing it on zoom!! Also, the technique she uses made my head much lighter and I am so happy with all this extra weight off my head without compromising length. Go to Min, she is worth it! and she is such a sweet lady too read more

Min is an independent, energetic and powerful woman. She never complains anything about her tough life, even during COVID-19 pandemic. I don't remember how many times I have had my hair cut in her barber shop. She knows the latest Asian and American hairstyle. She listens to her customers' requests and also provides very valuable suggestions. Min is a professional and experienced barber in Oakland area. I totally trust her. If you need someone to cut your hair, make a style or change hair color. Please contact Min. She really needs your help. read more

Great place - Min is a highly skilled and diligent stylist. Free parking available is an added bonus. Call ahead for appointments! read more

Min's JazzCuts - Hair Salons Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I've been eyeing Min's salon since I moved to Pittsburgh a couple months ago, and finally decided to call and schedule an appointment last week. She was able to accommodate two people together (my friend also went along to get a haircut), albeit confused (sorry!!), and was very kind about us running late due to traffic. Min is honestly one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met, and as someone who's generally very shy and terrified of hair salons because I hate smalltalk, she made me feel very comfortable and will chat or stay in comfortable silence depending on what you prefer. Her cutting style is definitely something to be seen, and honestly was just really cute! She spends a lot of time confirming with you what style you'd like, explaining what she's doing and why, and checking that you're okay with everything. Min truly cares about her customers and takes great joy and pride in what she does, and it shows! I'm very happy with my cut and so was my friend - at the end of our appointments, she gave us both hugs and I almost didn't want to leave. Definitely give this salon a shot if you'd like something different from the trendy, hip modern salon - if you enjoy sincerity, a warm atmosphere, and an honest dedication to a craft, I'm sure you'll feel right at home. read more

She is the best hairstylist in town, she has unique way of cutting hair that is very entertaining as well, Min is very meticulous and she cut my hair like a champ! I love it so much :) I finally found a good place for my very demanding hairstyle. read more

Min, the owner and only hair stylist there, is so charming. She was very attentive and is obviously skilled in what she does, with her years of experience from Korea. I came in about 30 minutes to closing, and she was happy to take me in. After seeing a picture of what I would like, she got to work and within 20 minutes we were done. Quick and easy. However, the price is too steep for what it was worth. For a men's haircut, I was charged close to $35, and I gave $5 tip. I have been given the same haircut for half the cost, and this was with a hair wash. I understand that she is a small business owner and the only stylist, so she has to make her time worthwhile, but the prices are too much, especially for a college area. read more

Only Min could breathe flounce into my thick and lifeless Asian hair. My afternoon was filled w 80s music and dynamic, full-bodied snipping movements, it was incredible. Support the aunties read more

Love Auntie Min! She has a great personality and very caring to her customers. She's very talented and very good at cutting hairs, especially thick Asian hair strands. She spends enough time to ask you what hairstyle/haircut you want and she understands every customer's preferences. She's the only one that I trust to touch and cut my hair and her price is reasonable. Love u Min! read more

love her. not my haircut. Min is very nice and cheery and I loved that she took walk-ins but she wrecked my hair. What I told her I wanted: trim on my long hair with some reshaping around my face. What I got: A bad 80's style shag with some serious breakage an inch long at the top and back of my head - probably should have stopped her when she went nuts with the razor at the crown of my head. My advice for anyone else with long hair - be very clear on what you want and don't be afraid to speak up. I really wish I had. read more

I loved my short haircut! I walked in without an idea of what I want and just browsed through the haircut books Min had while she finished up with another client. I picked out a couple of pictures that I liked and pointed them out to Min, to one of which she said, "No good no good." This place was low key and no frill. She didn't shampoo me. Instead, she just sprayed on water and started cutting. I have pretty thick hair and I just sat amazed as she razored and cut away. She was efficient (finished in 30 minutes, right as my parking meter ran out) and didn't talk much, not to me anyways. But the final result was really much better than haircuts that I've gotten at say, Aveda... At the end, she said, "Beautiful!" I requested her to cut off some pieces of hair at the sides and she got a dismayed expression on her face, but did it anyways. "It's broken," She said. Haha...I still liked the haircut. No frill also meant the price was pretty reasonable-$27 for long hair. Not your typical salon, but if you have Asian hair (and maybe other types of hair), it's a good place to go. Also, she takes appointments but squeezes in whoever walks in, as I did. So beware, even if you have an appointment, she might get to you like 15 minutes later than the appointed time. But like I said, she's efficient. read more

The whole of the Asian community cuts their hair at Min's so you better call a few days ahead to make a reservation because she gets booked solid! She is a one-woman do-it-all show and she does it pretty darn well. I have not been disappointed with a single one of her cuts. Sometimes she asks me what I want and I usually just let her work her magic. Things I love about Min's---she always calls me "beautiful like diamond!", she tells my boyfriend to take me on vacation, she has pictures of dreamy korean drama stars on her wall as hair examples, and most importantly she knows Asian hair! read more

Min is awesome. She never fails me. I have thick, naturally wavy asian hair which is hard to style. She knows what haircut looks good on you. She does an amazing job. I always come back to her to get my haircut done. I would definitely recommend her. read more

There are two places in Pittsburgh for Asian people to get a haircut. This is the better one. I came at 5pm on a Thursday, place was empty so I didn't have to wait. The lady owner/stylist was very receptive and attentive to the hair style I wanted. Sure, I wanted a standard Asian fade but she carefully loomed at the photos I had on my phone. Here is a huge bonus though! She has a computer with tons of real photos of haircuts so you can scroll through and choose the one you want. And the pic will sit there in front of you while she cuts so you both know what the goal is. She did a great job with texturizing and giving my basic haircut a little spiffiness to keep it looking fresh. I appreciated that. Some places don't do that. I even wanted a little alteration from her style and she did it without hesitation. Great attitude! She also blended the side burns well and did good edging around the nape. Good work. After the haircut she did some little 30 second head and neck massage which wasn't bad, but really wasn't anything to speak of either. No complaints. Base Price for this men's straight forward haircut was $28. I give 4 stars because like all things Pittsburgh, it was pretty good, but not impressive (other than the photo album of haircuts). But given the cost of things in Pittsburgh, $28 for essentially a crew cut with no shampoo or massage is pretty steep. I get it. It's Pittsburgh, there's no competition. So I can't really complain. So that's why it's 4 stars not 5. Great haircut, nice experience. This will be my new hair home for 4 years. read more

Min is absolutely the best! I've always had trouble loving my haircuts after going to non-asian salons (not the cheap kind either!). I decided to make a reservation with Min after reading a few reviews. The day I went, I arrived early for my appointment, and Min sat me directly into the chair and went to work. We determined on cutting off about 7 inches (I had grown out my hair ridiculously long, and even after 7 inches it's still considered by most standards to be "long hair"). Min's techniques are different from what you'd typically see at other salons - I summed it up to be from her days as a hairstylist in S. Korea. She worked meticulously, slowly cutting back the length until perfection. By the time my appointment was finished, Min had spent 1 hr and 30 mins on me! Don't expect SuperCuts prices here, but it's not $100+ either. All in all, you'll get your money's worth here. As mentioned by other reviews, do bring pictures to show her the style you want. She has an iPad set up with a range of styles as well if you don't have any with you, for both men and women styles. One thing to mention, she doesn't wash your hair prior to your cut. Instead, she spritzes it generously throughout. read more

This is my second time getting a haircut at Min's-- and I am just as satisfied. Yes, yes the price is a little bit high (mine cost me $48 because I had longer hair)-- but I got 20 likes within 20 minutes of posting my long layered bob on Facebook-- I think we need to acknowledge the fact that she is really good with Asian hair. I grew up in China and not even many Chinese barbers are that great with layers, she is fast and understanding. I am definitely going back there. read more

I have been here for my haircut for 6 years. Min is very pleasant lady and I always enjoy the conversation with her. Her hair cutting tecniques are very unique that I have never experienced at any other salons,but she handles my thick long hair perfectly. For someone who has long hair, I highly recommend you to tell her clearly what you want. She tends to cut short on the top and I had little unbalanced haircut for the first few times. It's not a bad point. Every hairstylist has their own preference and tools they would love to use. Discuss with her well so she will know what you want or what you don't want! read more

So I went in today for my first haircut in Pittsburgh. I started out with long hair up to my stomach, with no style whatsoever. I made an appointment on a Saturday at 4 PM. I told her that I wanted about an inch off with light layering and long bangs. She pulled up some pictures on her tablet and showed me the style she recommended. She then went to WORK. She spritzed my hair and took her time combing and parting my hair, before grabbing a whole bunch and doing this crazy layering job with her razor. I've never seen this kind of technique. She basically grabbed and twisted my hair and went at the ends in this rapid motion while walking around me. It was like a tornado. Needless to say, it got the job done. She was also very through and took her time. Most of the places I go to in NYC take 20-30 min tops, Min took about an hour with me. She also listened to what I wanted and gave great results. My hair is still long but with structured layers. She styled it so well with mousse and a hair dryer. She's incredibly sweet and gave the best compliments. She called me smart and beautiful. She even said that my face was what the Korean plastic surgeons model after. It was a ridiculous compliment but it really made my day. The only drawback is that the price was a little higher than what I'm used to. I usually pay around 20-35 dollars for a haircut but this time I paid $45 for long hair. I mean it was a great haircut, but if it were 10 dollars cheaper that would really make this one of my best haircut experiences ever. read more

I drove an hour from another state just to get my haircut from Min and it was well worth it. As an Asian with thick coarse hair Min knew exactly how to deal with it. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and immediately she went to work. She took her time and used various tools to cut my hair to exactly what I was looking for. One pet peeve I have with getting my haircut at other places is leaving with tiny hairs in my collar, ears, or face but after she was done she grabbed a towel and wiped off ALL loose hairs. Hey I'm all about the little things! Thanks Min! In short: located on corner of Atwood and Bates, men's haircut was $28, parking is behind the shop (go down York Way alley to find it), and she takes cash or credit. read more

Very nice lady, and her hair cut technique is awesome! She told me her story when coming to Pittsburgh 20 years ago and encouraged me to study hard :）She is so sweet! Strong recommendation!!!! read more

Definitely recommended especially for Asian's haircut. The lady is so sweet :) She tells me a lot of lovely stories as she is doing the haircut lol. I go there every time since the first visit. read more

Min's JazzCuts - Min's Jazzcut - Hair Salons Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

See all

I get apprehensive about having my hair cut. I have a lot of thick hair, and not everyone can cut it well. I find myself holding my breath and clenching my hands as it's cut, and I have to tell myself to not look nervous. More often than not, I dislike my haircut at first because the stylist styles it differently than I normally do, but I really liked my hair when I left Min's today. That's saying a lot! I've only been in the 'burgh for just over a month, so I'm really excited to have found a place to get my hair cut! I made an appointment in the morning and came in in the afternoon. Over the hour that I was there, she received one phone call and two walk-in inquiries. I commented that she was popular; she said the clients tell her that, but no, she just does her work. Cute! Min was really thorough in her work. I brought a picture w/me, which helped. I was a little concerned that she said she was going to make my hair "more beautiful" than the picture, and I didn't always understand her English, but I'm pleased with the end result. I will gladly pay $35 (the price for medium length hair) for a great haircut! read more

Min is one of the nicest lady I met in the States. She is good at what she is doing, you just have to communicate with her well about what your expectation is prior to the haircut. I definitely recommend this place! read more

The person is just plain rude. She was yelling at me for my asking what's her average price for a hair length and texture like mine. wanting to estimate your cost prior to getting the service is something you should not ask for? She went on this rant about how she needs to see me in person to know the price without letting me putting a word in, and went on hang up the phone right after she finished. I don't know how good you are, yet what you're doing is basically shooing people away from your business. read more

The two times I was here, she cut more than I asked for. I asked for long layers, and she gave me short layers. I went in with hair that went to my armpits, and I asked for no more than an inch cut off, and to just clean up the ends a bit. I also said I'd like the hair in the front to be still be able to be tied back into a ponytail. She thinned out my hair way more than I wanted, and the hair on the top of my head is now 3 inches long. It was originally at least 13-14 inches. I have poor eyesight, so I could not tell when she was cutting my hair. At the beginning, I had the feeling she was cutting my hair really short, so I emphasized a couple times LONG LAYERS. She said she knew and continued. :'( read more

I am a discerning hair cut recipient- born and bred in NYC I was worried about getting my hair cut in Pittsburgh- boy was I an idiot. I found this place on Yelp and I have to tell you Min is one of the most talented stylists I've ever had, and she has cut my hair for 3 years. I love Min's cuts- she has a special talent for straight and Asian hair. Every Asian girl in Pittsburgh should go to her. Her cuts are under $40- forget about all the too cool for school folks in Lawrenceville or spendy salons Downtown- this lady's razor cuts are awesome. She will be moving in Oakland to another location- just call her. Appointments can be made same day- call if you are pressed for time and need a specific slot. read more

Min's amazing!! She's the sweetest person ever. When I first went in, she hit my legs and said "beautiful legs!" Haha she's adorable. Her hair styling techniques are amazing too! The way she does it makes her even more professional. I love my new haircut. I definitely recommend going to her for Asian hair :) read more

really nice lady and really nice cut. she knows how to handle the asian style,and so considerate. Definitely I will get my hair cut there again. read more

I've been there for three times in past year! The lady is great!

I love Min, such a sweetheart and amazing skills. I only let her cut my hair, no one else. And I live in MN now! You can always get a boost of self confidence too because she always tells you that you're beautiful! Lol read more

Excellent service. Min is very nice, too. Highly-recommended and will definitely go back. :)

If i could give negative rate i would do so. Called to make reservation a few times, this lady hanged up very rudely. Finally got through and asked humbly how much it costs, got the answer "if you care about money, don't come". Maybe she is good at hair, but she is just so bad as a human being. read more

Love Min! I'm 3/4 Korean and my daughters are 1/2 (their dad is 1/4). She is sweet and nice and cuts our hair just the way we want it to be cut. "White people" salons always try to give me the "Texas Cheerleader Mom" poof, which I hate. I'm 44, not 64. My hair is long and straight and black, not blonde and short and poofy. Min knows Asian hair (although I've seen white people in there). If you're Korean she'll speak in Hangul, if you're not she knows English well. My girls adore her and call her Emo (aunt). For the person who got mad because they called to ask a price, that isn't done in Korea and you do need to be seen to determine the price. My youngest has hair to her waist. If she's going to completely redo your hair it's going to cost more than a trim or some bangs or layers. If you have to ask the price you can't afford it (but she generally charges us $40 a piece, which is more than reasonable" if we're making a lot of changes, less for a trim. Min is alone in the shop, so you don't get some random who just got out of beauty school. She's been in the US for years and worked as a stylist in Seoul prior to that, so you are getting someone with talent and knowledge. We'd rather wait for Min than go elsewhere!!! She always tells you you're beautiful but it's not lip service - Koreans don't do that - if you're ugly we don't say anything (in American, in Korea we don't have a problem with saying it) and she makes you feel good about yourself. We talk about Seoul a lot as I was born there but raised here and have family there. She makes you feel like family while making your hair look great. And once you're a regular she always fits you in (she makes room for all 3 of us on the same day). I can't say enough about her (and I need to go back, it's been a while and my hair is already touching my butt). For me a trip to Oakland isn't easy anymore (went to Pitt but now live in the North Hills and work in Robinson so I'm never out that way. But I make the trip and the time (and then go and eat at Korea Garden to get some home cooked Korean food)! read more
