I visited Miyako Salon today for a root retouch and I love the place! May was very professional and I was very satistfied with her work. Price was cheaper than my previous salon. Highly recommended. This is definitely my new salon moving forward! read more

I made a same-day appointment with Frank for a long layers haircut, & I'm so glad I did! My hair was wayyy overdue for a cut, & I've had some hair trust issues in the past, so I was honestly a little nervous. Frank was incredibly patient & made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The service included a wash (with a super relaxing massage!), blow-dry, haircut, & styling. Nothing felt rushed, & I really appreciated how much time & care he put into making sure everything looked great. It was my first time here & it was worth it I will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Frank! Location & Parking: It's in the same plaza as Diamond Bakery & where the Sanrio store used to be. There's plenty of parking available, which makes it super convenient read more

Miyako Salon - Before & after long layers haircut - Hair Salons Near Me - Monterey Park, California

My gf and I both wanted a quick trim before lunar new year so this small mom and pop salon was perfect! I called ahead on a Sunday afternoon to see if they could accommodate two women's haircuts and they told us we could come right in. I went with May and for $40, she gave me a wash, trim, face framing layers and blow dry! What a steal especially in today's economy! She was so sweet and friendly and I would happily come back to see her again! read more

I reccomend this place to anyone who is hesitating to come here! Frank is very honest and friendly. He told me exactly the amount he reccomended to cut off my hair and did only that. He said 2 inches and cut only 2 inches! Very honest and did a great job. Nice and friendly vibes here. read more

Update: I had a good experience here so I brought in my boyfriend a few weeks later. It was unfortunately not what we asked for. He cut it way too short in the front, I pointed it out to him and he said to just style it a different way which doesn't fix the fact that it's cut differently than the photo. I was also sitting there the entire time, he didn't ask him any questions about length or how he wanted it compared to when he did my hair. When I pulled out my card to pay at the end he said it's only cash payment which was strange because I paid card last time, I luckily had cash otherwise I wouldn't be able to pay (they had no signs anywhere saying cash only). Honestly, I don't even know why I tipped considering it was overall a very disappointing experience. It's a shame I won't be back considering it was quite close to my house. Old review: Great experience. I called and they were able to easily book me an appointment. When I came in, Frank was kind and sat me immediately. He washed my hair and cut it perfectly to how I wanted it. I will definitely be coming back here every time I need a cut read more

Just got back from another great hair session with Frank at Miyako! I've been going to his salon for years and he always does an excellent job. Frank's cutting and styling skills are top-level! When you leave Miyako, you feel gorgeous and confident. Plus, Frank is very patient and a good listener-he always makes sure he understands what YOU want to do with your hair. Five stars! Highly recommend (my mom loves Frank too! He's great with seniors :) read more

I recommend this if you want a nice, quick, and modern haircut! Frank Ho gave me what I requested and also trimmed it to fix my split ends and shape. He was also very professional and handled situations with grace! I like the vibes here, very simplistic and bright. read more

I go about once every 4 years because I grow my hair out to donate. This time around I didn't want to short a cut so the length I cut off wasn't long enough to donate. One of the customers wanted my hair so I have it to her lol. It was a good 6" So I've only ever gotten short cuts with Frank. $40 for cut, shampoo, and style is a steal these days! Frank is honestly a master of bangs!!! Always leave satisfied. I recommend calling for an appt, though walk in are welcome but not always guaranteed. Frank does everything from your consultation, to dry cut, shampoo, and style. He also cleans up after himself so the man is super busy! read more

10/10 The service was amazing! I got my hair washed and asked for a simple cut. Frank was very kind and took his time cutting my hair. I love my hair and will come back again for my future haircuts read more

I really wanted to like this place because $40 for women's haircut is unheard of these days. I showed Frank my inspo pic which was long layers with curtain bangs. While being a cheap hair cut, I also got a hair cut I didn't like or ask for. Far from the inspo pic actually. Then after, he tells me that he only takes cash -- after he already cut my hair?? This was something that he should've told me prior to cutting my hair. So I'm scouring around for an ATM because they didn't even have a POS system. It's 2024, not a lot of people carry cash anymore. With that being said, this was my first and last time going here. read more

Worse place ever! FRANK is completely unprofessional. My hair was right above my butt, I asked for a TRIM and he proceeded to cut more than 6-8 inches off my hair and added layers when no one asked him to. It's up above my shoulders now. He then blow dried it on high heat for a long time with no heat protector or anything. I have fine, straight virgen hair. He made multiple comments about how damaged my hair was and was rough....I was super confused by his behavior. He blow dried my hair longer than he spent actually cutting it! I left very disappointed and unhappy. Definitely not worth it, only came here because I live in MPK and wanted to support my community. Please save your hair and headache and go somewhere else. read more

Got my haircut with Frank for $35 for hair wash and cut. He doesnt really style but he does straighten your hair. I asked for curtain bangs/long bangs and i didnt really like how he styled it. But when i got home and re-did it. I could tell he cut well. He does great work and takes his time with my hair. I cut off a lot and he didnt make me feel nervous that he was going to cut too much! It's not a fancy salon and plenty of parking. It gets the job done and thats what i needed. Same plaza as hot pot hot pot. Corner of atlantic and garvey! read more

frank was able to squeeze me in right before the holiday weekend. i love coming here & i refer my friends/coworkers who are looking for a good, stylish haircut on a budget. it's an asian mom & pop place so don't expect something super fancy, but they always get the job done & right. frank & his wife are always super welcoming. they take zelle now too! read more

I'm new to the area and just wanted a trim to cut off the dead ends on my hair. Found this plan on Google maps and decided to try it out. They took me same day and were really nice!! The lady washed the HELL out of my hair, triple shampoo and she was scrubbing. I loved it. For the cut, they also did a great job. They used a straightener instead of just blow drying it straight, but it still look really good. The only hang up is that they only take cash, but he told me over the phone when I made an appointment so that was no problem!! My hair feels fresh and that staff was super sweet and cute. I can tell the people that go to them love them. read more

I love my haircut! I tell every salon the same thing that I do not have a lot of hair and it's super fine and I need a low maintenance hair cut, go make me look good. Frank did such a great job with a short bob really recognizing habits of women, making sure my long bangs can still tuck behind my ears. He took his time to make sure the back will look nice on its own too. I tipped $10 on $35 because I was so happy. I'll be back. read more

The service was good!! Lovely music vibes in the background. I love my hair very similar to my reference picture. read more

I had my hair cut done by the owner Frank today. I was not aware that the hair salon was allowed to be open during the month of September (Covid time), and I was happy to get my hair cut around 5 inches. It was $35 for a hair cut and shampoo/conditioner. Frank was nice and paid attention to my hair. His style is definitely different than other hair dresser but I enjoyed the difference. After my hair cut, he kept saying how nice the hair cut was which made me smile big. The salon is clean and we all wore masks during the hair cut session. I will definitely come back next time when I need a hair cut! If you are in town, I highly recommend you to give it a try. read more

A salon with no air conditioning... owner does not want to switch on .. instead put the electric fan nearer to me when I complained that it's warm in there... other than that the staff are friendly. read more

Thank you for taking me in for a same day appointment. And I'm very happy with my haircut. I asked for less layers, thinned out, with long bangs & he did it very well! Will definitely come back and recommend to people that want quick trims/haircut! read more

I have been going to Frank for about three years now and he does an outstanding job. He has very flexible hours and is always accommodating to my schedule. I always leave very satisfied and he has always cut my hair to my requests. I highly recommend his salon. read more

I've been going to see Frank for about a year now. Pay about 25. a cut and mostly he is efficient, and does good work. In and out and only 25. He is usually easy to book with also which is convenient. Not a fancy salon nor do you get a wash normally (Mens hair) but overall, its a good deal. read more

It's 2023 and I'm happy to say that I am still a very loyal customer to Frank (Miyako Salon) and am very grateful that the salon is thriving post-Covid. Some may say that commuting from the San Francisco area to Monterey Park is quite a ways to travel for a haircut but I say it is worth the trip! He is a consummate professional and is great at layering and styling my hair. My daughter also got her hair cut by Frank and is very happy with the result! read more

I was able to make an appointment with frank right away! I told him how I wanted my haircut to be and frank was able to execute my idea! I would go back to him in the near future! The price was $35 for a short chop, can't beat anything with a good price nowadays! Frank was very friendly and nice. read more

First of all, highly recommended! I tried eyelashes extension once long time ago somewhere els and it was a very bad experience. Before I came here, my biggest concern is that the fake lashes will make my eyelid very very uncomfortable and itchy. Luckily I met Shavvy, she is very friendly and easy to talk to, and she did so well that I slept through the whole time! It was a one good nap I took. When I woke up, my eyelashes were beautifully done and I like it very much. The most important thing is that I can't feel any uncomfortableness like these lashes were all naturally grew from my eye. LoL Like it very much and want to recommend Shavvy to you all. read more

Frank cut my hair and it was perfect! He layered my hair and made sure that all of the split ends are gone. Now my hair feels super light and healthy. Thanks, Frank! read more

I definitely recommend people come here if they are in need for a haircut or perm. Frank does really good haircuts and perms for males for such a cheap price too. $25 for haircut and $60 for perm, you can't find that anywhere else nowadays. Even at that low price, his skills and service is top-notch. He's really friendly and does an incredible job at giving you the cut you want just from showing him a photo of it! I will gladly come back to this salon. Please come support his business! read more

Frank always does great work on my hair and keeps his prices reasonable. He's fixed many a bad haircut for me that I'm convinced he's a miracle worker. I've gone to other more high end salons but I always end up coming back to him because not only is he meticulous, but he also has a great sense of style. I can always trust him to design my haircut, but if you are specific and clearly communicate what you want, he will do exactly that. He always hypes you up telling you he really likes the cut on you, and how nice you look. You probably wont need another cut for several months, if you have shoulder length or longer. Plus, watching him snip away at each piece of hair is kind of therapeutic. After each haircut, my head feels much lighter and I'm more refreshed. read more

I love here! Staff is so nice, good service and comfortable atmosphere. Definitely visit here again.

I called in hopes of getting rid of my quarantine hair. And they were open! Frank was so sweet and nice. My hair came out great! Frank took his time and took so much care! Prior to covid, Allen cut my hair before and Allen was just the same! Took his time and my hair always came out great. read more

I usually don't leave a review for any place but I had to for the amazing job Frank did! This is my second time coming for a cut. He did such an amazing job on my hair and I love it. He spent literally almost an hour on a wash and cut! He paid so much attention into my hair and made sure my hair was even and beautiful. I will only go here from now on! read more

I always look for Frank.... I was recommended by a friend and since first visit, I knew I would come back. I have been Frank's customer for almost 2 years. I show him pictures every visit for haircut and he always get it done within 30 mins. He is fast but detail oriented and pay attention for every single strand of hair. I am always happy with the result. I recommended him to my bro and my bro likes his work too. Very reasonable price with high quality service you can get in Monterey Park. Today, I went for haircut and highlight. He did excellent job, exactly what I wanted. He never disappoints me. He truly deserves more than 5. read more

The experience was fine since the workers were nice and easygoing... however the aftermath still drives me insane. It is ugliest haircut I have gotten in a long time.. I wanna cry. One side has layers and the other side barely has layers; the layers are uneven too. Also, it is way way WAY shorter than I've asked for. *Do not come here to get a cut before a big day****** read more

Frank is the best, showed him a pic of what I wanted. The end is result not only followed what I wanted, but he made sure it suited me. Definitely going back read more

Read a few enticing reviews about this place and decided to try it out. Boy, was I wrong. I only came here to do eyelash extensions by Ping. She rents a room in back of the salon and prefers to do business by SMS. I made an appointment one week early and the day I arrived at the salon to find her, she wasn't there. I decided to call her and let her know that I was fifteen minutes early and will wait for her. She arrives half an hour after my appointment time and told me that she wasn't feeling well and had actually sent a text to cancel. After tracking the message through google voice, I found that she did indeed send me a text. Unfortunately, it was 45 minutes before my appointment time and I didn't catch it in time. Upon entering her room, I found some strands of hair on the towels she told me to lay on which led me to believe that she didn't clean it after her last appointment. Totally gross! Anyways, I asked her to wash her hands before touches my eyes and she said she "just washed it." I arrived at the salon before her and saw that she touched plenty of other things after she started working on my eyelashes so she really should have washed them again if she really even washed them prior anyway. We proceeded to pick the types of lashes and I saw her do a bait and switch with them as well. Ping is a fast applicator. I've had eyelash extensions put on before and it nearly took three hours. She finished everything in thirty minutes! She told me that I can "go now" since they are done. I told her that the glue is still wet; and I will not open my eyes until it stops burning. She then tells me to hold something near my face. Turns out it was a battery operated handheld fan. Since I couldn't open my eyes yet, I just so happened to have touched the propeller of the whirring fan! Thank goodness it was plastic blades but it was still scary enough. It is totally dangerous and unprofessional to be holding a fan so close to a face. It is just silly to do something like that to speed up the process. Ping also didn't clean up the black super glue off my face very well. If she was already working, she should do a good job for her business. My bad for not thinking clearly and not leaving at the first sign of ghetto suspiciousness. Ping also kept asking me if I had any cash in my wallet. She already told me that paying by credit card this once is fine so I have no idea why she was inquiring if I had extra cash in my pocket. Eyelash extensions are expensive. Who carries that much cash on them? And umm why do you have a credit card machine for?! Oh but I forgot that I was in the San Gabriel Valley, the land where there are a ton of Asian who do not like anything other than cash currency. The worst part of all of this is when I woke up the next day. My eyes were glued shut and I developed pink eye for the very first time. Ping used too much glue and put way too many lashes on my own lashes. Here's a picture of my lash glued onto three other lashes. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/miyako-salon-monterey-park?select=M8cz0f8yxJwUxU7zKk0c3w#M8cz0f8yxJwUxU7zKk0c3w Only one false lash is supposed to be put on one real lash. Dark, full and long lashes really complete a look, but it got so irritating that I wanted them off as soon as possible. Sorry lady, earning a hundred dollar bill for half an hour of work has gotten to your head! Ping's awful job of hustling isn't going to fly by me ever again. I hope it won't for you either. Stay far away from getting your eyelash extensions done here or you will develop pink eye, milia and be lashless! Maybe you'll have better luck at the hair salon itself. read more

Miyako Salon - Ping's rush of a job work of art. Three falsies to my one eyelash. Hurt like hell. - Hair Salons Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Super clean cut and Frank does great work. Masked up and got my wash and cut during pandemic. Stay safe!

Just got back to the hotel from this place which I visited just 20 minutes ago, and what shall I do? Write a Yelp review! My mom and I stumbled upon this place only because she needed to dye her hair. So since this place was really close to the hotel, we decided to come here. I went in here not looking for a haircut, but gave in since my dead ends were bothering me so much. Cynthia, who trimmed and layered my hair did an excellent job. She even gave me a lot of tips on what to do to maintain my hair because she noticed I'm young and that my hair was thinning. I have got to say Cynthia is the best hair stylist I have ever had. She actually listens and the best part.. she's straight forward! She's not afraid to tell you that your hair is horrible and needs care. Some salons don't mention it and just snip away! But with her, she listens to your wishes and grants them. I think whenever I'm in SoCal, which is usually 2-3 times a year.. I'll come to this place to dye my hair or cut it :) read more

Shavvy was amazing! Really Good at what she does. The eyelashes came out gorgeous! I got the Siberian Mink lashes and It was worth it. read more

I have been here for years! I love Frank! He is the hair stylist that I've always ask for. I usually ask for layers. Awesome results every single time. Also, when it grows out, the style stays the same, therefore the layer is still there! However, I must say that you have to be very specific to what you want or bring a picture. You won't be disappointed !!! read more
