My usual stylist was booked out for a week and I needed a haircut, so I decided to try somewhere new. Let me just say -- lesson learned. I called and got an opening for the next day. I was told the haircut would be $60, so I booked it. When I arrived, I wasn't even sure I was at the right place because the business name didn't match. Turns out it's just a bunch of stylists renting chairs and advertising under their own names. The space itself is a weird little hole in the wall -- not inviting at all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The door was locked when I got there, and my stylist was nowhere to be found, so another customer -- still in a robe with product in her hair -- had to get up and unlock the front door for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That set the tone for the rest of the visit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I tried to communicate what I wanted since it was my first time, but my stylist seemed far more interested in talking than listening, so I eventually just let her do her thing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Then we moved to the shampoo station, and the chair was absurdly small and uncomfortable. I mentioned it, and she just chuckled and said, "Yeah, it is pretty small." In the middle of washing my hair, she asked me, "Isn't this relaxing?" -- after I had just told her the chair was uncomfortable. Fluorescent lights blaring overhead, people chatting at full volume in a tiny space, and the world's smallest chair... relaxing is not the word I'd use. I just nodded so I didn't have to answer. Then, while still rinsing my hair, she asked if I wanted styling. I was confused and asked what she meant. She explained that styling would be an additional $60 and would require washing my hair twice. I declined -- I wasn't looking for rollers or anything like that, just a basic cut. We finished up, went back to the chair, and she said she'd dry my hair so I could see the cut better. She roughly dried it, left it still damp, and the haircut looked like something straight out of the early 2000s. At that point, I just wanted to leave. Before I could even stand up, she asked if I had Zelle. I said yes, but reminded her I was told they take credit cards. She said they do, but there'd be a fee and she'd prefer Zelle. I just paid it and got out of there. I walked out into the cold January air with damp hair and ended up with a headache. When I got home, my husband asked me if it was raining outside because of how my hair looked. I just blow-dried it myself and accepted that this was a reminder: make the appointment with the stylist you trust and know that they are doing, even if you have to wait. read more

I recently got my hair cut by Haesue Kim and she did an amazing job! She was able to follow the reference photo I provided very well and gave me exactly what I wanted. My brother also got a haircut from her and his undercut turned out looking great. Her cell is (213) 550-7713, I recommend calling for an appointment and getting a haircut from her if you want a clean and fresh look. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]First of all, hairdresser was so friendly and sweet. We had polite conversation. I appreciated her patience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're looking for a vibey salon this isn't it so do your research and check out the pics to get an idea. It's a local well loved salon with humble, spacious, and clean setup. There's Christian pop music videos on screen. Parking is super easy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Communication via text is also super easy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All that said, there's a bit to be desired from my haircut itself on bulk and layering. Perhaps I should have been more prescriptive/shown a better more specific photo. So next time I'll do better on showing what I want and giving more details so the hairdresser has a better idea. I did appreciate the attention and the time she took to cut my hair. FYI, The cut cost $80 for a long haircut. Stylist will nicely bust out a ruler and measure for you so you all agree what "2 inches" looks like lol. While I've never seen this before, I respect it. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Sue was AMAZING.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came to her really apprehensive as I've been growing out a horrible haircut i previously received and she actually pulled out a tiny tape measure during the consult. She asked me what I wanted and what I didn't want and she cut what she said she would. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We loved my cut so much that my mom made an appointment with her two days later.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You have two happy and returning customers now and we're so happy to have found you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you! -Michelle & Cristina read more

Haesue did such an amazing job with my hair! I had an appointment with her. I showed her the cut and style that I wanted, and she made sure that I was ok with where she would cut my hair before proceeding with the cut. It made me feel assured and comfortable that she would deliver the result I wanted. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also enjoyed chatting with her. She was funny and sweet![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She always checks each detail before finishing your hair and cuts when necessary. At the end, I was satisfied with the results after she dried and styled my hair. It was just what I wanted. You are in good hands with her. She will deliver the results you desire, and you will leave with a smile on your face! read more

Hi everyone this place does wonderful job. I would highly recommend this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She will do whatever you want.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] FYI [[HIGHLIGHT]]call her personal number (213) 550-7713 the work phone she will not pick up because she's short handed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great haircut experience with Haesue![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My daughter showed her a photo and she executed the long bang look perfectly. read more

I've been going to Othneil for years. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Haesue is very friendly and professional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She wants to provide the best service to her customers. That includes staying present/focused with every customer at the salon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She avoids answering calls because of that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She's very hands-on. For new customers, she wants to see your hair anf what style you make like and that's when she can determine how long each service will take. It's very personalized. Not a cookie-cutter type of service. read more

I called two days ago to make an appointment for a cut and color service since my dyed hair has grown to show my naturally black roots. I explained to Haesue what I wanted and she was able to execute it perfectly! You can tell how skilled and knowledgeable she is about her craft. She's also such a sweet lady, can't wait to come back again. For the cut I asked for a trim with long layers and curtain bangs. My roots were bleached and the previously blonde sections were dyed to match the roots as closely as possible. For anyone curious about pricing, she informed me haircuts for shorter hair is $30 and $60 for longer hair. She's not tech savvy so she wished she could communicate the information easier than answering the same question numerous times over the phone. Hair coloring service price also depends on your hair length. read more

I've been going to Sue for my haircuts and to dye my hair for over 10 years now, and that's because she cuts my hair and dyes it just how I want it! Also, she's very attentive and caring towards her customers. I went yesterday to get a haircut and to bleach my hair because I wanted my hair to be blonde. She did a fantastic job on it and I love it!! She also cut my hair how I wanted it and I left the salon very happy. The salon is very clean and pretty!

I love this place! I have trouble finding a stylist who can work with my mixed asian hair, so I figured I would try a Korean salon and I couldn't be happier!! Hae-Su is really good at replicating reference pictures and providing advice on whether something would fit my face shape, then customizing it. 10/10 would recommend read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Sue is very friendly[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but I was surprised to be charged $80 for a women's haircut. That's quite pricey for a standard salon in the valley, and it's comparable to, or even more expensive than, some high-end brand-name salons. I would not comeback because of this price. read more

First time getting haircut here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]the experience was positive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Haesue spent a lot time on my hair and I really appreciate the attention. this is not a fancy place but it's the service/hair cut that matters. read more

I haven't gotten a haircut in six and a half months and Haesue fixed my shaggy pandemic mullet and gave me a super cute bob. She also made sure that I was okay with the length (I'm growing out a pixie cut so I'm kinda picky) throughout the haircut. The place itself is super clean too, and the staff wears masks. The door is also left open for good airflow; social distancing is followed. I looked long and hard for a good place after a bad covid experience with my last hairdresser, so I was super happy to see they took the health measures seriously! read more

Updating - still think the haircuts are good if you want layers / texture and your hair is long to start with. I asked for less layers this time because I need my hair in a bun for work and don't want hair popping out. It was still too textured and layered, sometimes too much texture in your haircut doesn't actually feel like a haircut and grows out uneven. read more

Been here twice now for a haircut and balayage and results have been amazing each time! The first time was 9 months ago and the color faded out very naturally, and I finally had time today to go back for a touch up. So glad I came back to this salon, Haesue is great and the prices are very fair. Haesue is so kind and patient, she really takes her time to make sure the cut and color are perfect. The salon can be quite busy but it's clean, professional, and all the other employees are very polite. I'll definitely be back! read more

HaeSue had been doing my hair for several years and she never disappoints. She opened her own salon and I continue to receive great service! Her place is clean and the staff are all kind and helpful! I 100% reccomend her for a cut! read more

Reviews are correct! Called to make sure I was able to walk in at 4:30pm for a cut and color- very accommodating & friendly. Haesue is great! She listened to what I wanted, made suggestions, and the end result ... perfect! I will def revisit her for my next touch up. Side note: Haesue and the lady with glasses use to work @ Lee Kaja next to Jamba Juice. It has been over a year since I visited Lee Kaja due to so many changes within that establishment, but they both remembered who I was, my mother-Inlaw, and my 2 boys. Now that's customer service @ it's max read more

What a gem of a salon in the SFV. I was seeking a quick cut for my bangs and didn't want to make a drive out to LA. Thanks to all of these great reviews, this salon shot up amongst the top five and I'm so glad I found it. Tucked away in a business plaza next to Bank of America and a Korean BBQ restaurant, there's easy parking in the lot. I was immediately greeted at the door and was able to get my hair cut within the fifteen minutes. The owner Hae Sue was the one who cut my bangs and did an amazing job after I showed her some pictures. She even proceeded to thin out the rest of my hair just because and this was all within my first visit here ever. I will definitely be coming back here for a hair cut or a touch up for my bangs. Love love and can not recommend this place more for quick and friendly service!! read more

Haesue the owner is the best! I have tried Beverly Hills and San Francisco union square for some super expensive haircuts. Haesue can take a look at the pictures and immediately understand what I want. And the results are amazing. I didn't need to blow dry and use a brush to curl. The bob haircut is just perfect and easy to maintain! I love her! Highly Recommend to All! read more

Hello my fellow yelpers, This salon is new for HaeSue. She opened her own salon recently and I'm so happy that she did. HaeSue is absolutely the best hair dresser and stylist I ever had. I used to live in Granada Hills and came only to her to cut my hair and my daughter's hair. I had a really bad experience in the last with other hair dressers that they cut way to much off. Come on ladies, we all had that experience once before. I moved out to West LA 6 years ago and still drive to the valley to get my hair cut by HaeSue only. Her cost isn't much compared to other Korean salons. But you get for what you pay for. She washes your hair, cuts and stylist it as well! Unlike other salons I've been too, they totally rush you if another clients are waiting. However, with HaeSue is takes her time and you honestly see her work. She is soo amazing and so nice! I was recently a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding and the make up artist that worked on my hair, complimented on how amazing my hair cut was! If other stylists are complimenting on my hair cut that means HaeSue is doing an amazing job! She's so talent and makes you feel like a million bucks! I promise you that won't you will NOT be disappointed. She takes cash and card. Plenty of parking. It's literally right next door to Bank of America. She gets busy on Saturdays but she will try to accommodate you the best she can. Just try to call at least one week in advance and schedule your appointment. I hope you get your pretty or handsome on. read more

If you ever need to cut or color you hair, go to SUE!!!!!!!! :) I wanted to color my roots and add highlights and SUE took the time to sit down with me and show me the hair color swatch book. She pretty much gave me a consultation. I also showed her a picture from a magazine and she was able to tell the exact colors it'll take to mix and match to get the exact shade. Her expertise in coloring is right on! She can tell the natural hue of your hair with just one look and is able to tell what shades will match the best. All and all I trust her to get the perfect shade of color. I've always been more than satisified whenever I get my hair colored by her. I highly recommend Sue if you're looking for a stylist who can give you the hair you want! :) BONUS: - She will style your bangs and the rest of your hair upon request!! You will walk out of the salon feeling GLAMOROUS! :) Also, very CONFIDENT! :) - She also is very friendly and makes you feel very comfortable. Sue speaks decent English so you can have a conversation with her. First time I met her she was very nice to me so now she is not only an awesome hair stylist but also my friend! :D - Sue really makes you feel at "home." The hair salon is very clean and pretty! read more

Sue!!! I practically don't go to anyone else!! I've been going to her for almost 12 years!! She just knows how to cut, color, style your hair!! She won't go with the trends if she knows the damage that it can do to your hair!!! && she doesn't get scissor happy!! When you tell her 3 inches expect only a 3 inches trim! Excellent place! Very clean, very professional! && the pricing is always fair. read more

I've been seeing Haesue for many years now and she is the best! I will never find another hair stylist like her. Even though I moved to San Diego, I still go to the valley for haircuts from her.

A great haircut at a very reasonable price. Sue is very detailed with her haircuts and takes into consideration what you want.

Found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try, since I've been needing a trim for a while. So I originally got an asymmetrical bob a year ago and I've since grown it out, but it's still asymmetrical. I scheduled an appointment and walked into this cute gem of an establishment. The owner, Haesue was so sweet and accommodating that made me feel welcome right away. She was able to even out my hair and make it smoother and shiner then when I came in. I highly recommend this place and the prices are good for the quality you get! Can't wait to go back! read more
