    Bangs and layers by Hugo
    June K.

    Made a reservation for walk-in and random stylist and I was super lucky to have gotten my hair cut by Hugo! I showed him a picture and he cut it even better. I asked for bangs and layers which I've had done badly too many times. He's super professional and skilled and comparable to stylists at pricier salons. The hair wash is really nice and relaxing also! Paid only $38 pre tip :)

    When I tell you don't trust this salon, DO NOT trust it. I walked in wanting a little trim and some layers and ended up with some CHOPPY ass bangs for $38. My bangs looked fine when I walked in but the guy with the blond hair decided to use THINNING SCISSORS on my bangs, I couldn't even react he did it so fast. Like first of all, why would you be using thinning scissors for bangs, bangs are supposed to be straight and the fact that they also have an option for a bang trim is beyond me because I don't know who'd ever pay $15 for this. Also, second of all, he looked like he didn't know what he was doing. It looked like he was just cutting and hoping for the best by going ham with the thinning scissors at the end. I was really excited to finally try this salon because of all the good reviews, but I'm never coming back.

    Sam is amazing with color and hair transformation!! I asked for a balayage with light purple, and I was very nervous on how it would turn out - but Sam made it look amazing! Pretty much exactly what I had envisioned. Sam is very thorough, pays attention to every detail, and really made sure that my hair was evenly colored and blended. The service was a bit pricy and takes a while (mine took almost 7 hours) but it's worth it if you want a balayage or color that looks perfect. Highly recommend doing color with Sam! Go check out his Instagram to see some of the great work he's done.

    It was my first time getting my hair done in this salon but i'm so in love with my hair. I found Kion on instagram and saw that he's able to achieve certain hairstyles and the one i had in mind is very specific, so i made sure to reach out thru ig. I sent him an inspo photo i found and he said he'll be able do it. The whole process was smooth bc we coordinated on what day of the appointment would be good for us, i suggest messaging the stylist or calling the salon to make an appointment. He was even able to squeeze in to do my mom's hair, even though she didn't have a scheduled appointment. Overall, Kion was lovely and exceeded my expectations on my hair. The rest of the staff were attentive as well and worked well with their craft. Btw these are the photos of our hair. Thanks again Kion

    Found Michael on Instagram and he did amazing on transforming my brown hair into lightest grey ombré balayage! The whole process took ~7 hours so it was a lot of detailed work. However, be aware that their price quote is for cash only, if you pay in card you will get charged a 4-5% transaction fee (which is $15-20 for an balayage). They also didn't tell me there is an ATM/bank right next door, which I could have walked to get cash to avoid this super high extra fees. It would be nicer if the cashier and the stylist can be clear and helpful to remind their customers on this.

    Leo did a great job on my hair! He doesn't speak English but honestly... trust the mans and trust the process! He's wonderful at what he does and I'll definitely be coming back to do my hair again with him in the future! Make sure to book an appt with him by either calling the store or contacting him on instagram.

    KION LIANG IS AMAZING! I've wanted a balayage for YEARS, but never got around to it because of the cost and people telling me that it'll probably take 2 sessions and my hair might come out orange. Recently, Kion's instagram popped up on my feed and I was impressed by his work, so I reached out to schedule an appointment. Overall, it took 5.5 hours and it was worth every single penny!!!!! Service was great, very accommodating and friendly. I'm telling you - Kion is INCREDIBLE!!! I AM LITERALLY SHOOKETH

    Saw Sam for my haircut and balayage and he did a phenomenal job! I showed him a few pictures of what haircut style I wanted and the color I wanted for my balayage and he delivered. He knew what he was doing and after 4 hours of the process, the finished product turned out more than amazing! With the length of hair and product used, the total was $400 plus tip. Cant wait to come back and get my hair done there again, highly recommend Sam!

    Booked an appointment with Kion on IG and he is super responsive and great at answering all of my questions. This is my first time getting a balayage and bleaching my hair so I didn't know exactly what to expect. Kion has been so helpful every step of the way and guiding me through the process. We picked out a hair color together and he was very informative on how to maintain the color, nurturing the hair, etc. Over all this was such a great experience and he did an awesome job! Will definitely come back here every time now!

    I cannot say enough good things about Lira Hair Salon. I came in after a disastrous visit to a…read moreso‑called "blonde specialist" who completely ruined my hair while trying to take me from brunette to blonde. My hair was damaged, uneven, and honestly I was scared to try again. Lira changed everything. She not only helped me achieve the blonde I originally wanted, but she did it in a way that protected my hair and brought it back to life. My color looks beautiful, natural, and exactly how I envisioned it. Even better--my hair is actually growing back and feeling healthy again. Lira is truly a master of her craft. She listens, she cares, and she knows exactly what she's doing. If you're thinking about going blonde or need someone to fix a color gone wrong, she's the one you want in your corner. Absolutely worth every visit.

    I was called by the salon less than 24 hrs prior to my appointment to move up my time by an hour…read more And in that conversation I expressed wanting to have a consultation as I have long hair without any dye. When I had a sudden issue on my property and needed a plumber, I was told I needed to come to not be charged for the full service. So I made it out. A consultation is a conversation. I was going to get a full service, but the front desk insisted I get enough to match the balayage inquiry. I couldn't get a word in. No way would I trust my hair with someone who won't listen. So I left. And they charged my card $400. Vibes 0/10, customer service 0/10, skill level unknown.

What disappointed me most was not only the result, but the way my concerns were handled afterward. Instead of taking responsibility for the result and trying to understand why I was unhappy, the stylist repeatedly shifted the conversation toward blaming me. I was made to feel that the problem was somehow related to my language barrier and cultural differences in communication. At one point, the conversation even became about money and what I had paid for -- essentially, "You didn't pay for the whole highlight, right?" -- which felt completely inappropriate and shaming. I have never experienced this level of disrespect or lack of accountability in a beauty salon. I left feeling sad, embarrassed, and unwelcome, when I had simply come in expecting professional service and to be heard as a client. I want to be clear that I don't believe this experience represents the values of the entire salon or its owners. My issue is specifically with this individual stylist and the way he handled a situation when the result did not meet my expectations. I am sharing this so other women, especially those who may have a language or cultural communication difference, know to make sure their concerns are genuinely listened to and treated respectfully. A client should never be made to feel guilty or ashamed for expressing disappointment with a service.
