I've been coming here for over 15 years now. Sunny is the best! I usually come for a straight perm, rebonding, color and cut. My hair is curly and frizzy! I've gone to many other places and some straighten too much while other do not enough and it doesn't even take. Sunny uses the best products and knows how to do it just right, especially on curly unruly hair. It's a long process but she is very efficient. I also bring my son who had a color (bleach) and cut. He showed her a picture and she was able to get it just right. With the cut and style she did for him, everyone always comments that he looks like a K-Pop star. I truly love my color, cut and straight perm. It make my life so much easier and saves me so much time in the morning. I just shower, wash my hair and go! She is very popular and busy. Appointments are a must. read more

I've gone to Sunny on and off for the last 8 years. I usually get my hair straightened and cut. She always does a wonderful job. However, there are a few areas I would like to caution a potential customer. First, Hair washing assistant,Connie can be rough sometimes and you need to let her know you'd like the water to be warm before she wets your hair. Second, they don't have set prices. I sometimes think its whatever they'd like it to be. Third, I rarely get Sunny to do the whole service herself, she has another stylist help most of the time ( a bit annoying). Lastly, they always try and push you to buy products after your service. read more

Do not come here for hair coloring only if you have sensitive scalp. Their hair dye contains ammonia, beware. I was not satisfied with the hair color results at all. read more

I had a horrible experience my hair was almost down to my waist. I wanted to keep the length and add choppy layers with bangs. Sunny chopped it off without even asking and I showed her a picture of a girl with long hair. I should have not been charged. Very upset to loose two years of growth! read more

A haircut is $30 with at least two people blow drying and straightening my hair. Every time the phone rings, my hair stylist will pause for a short chat so I'll listen to the k-pop soundtrack. I almost always get the same haircut no matter how short I ask for. My favorite part is reading the fashion magazines after my haircut, but my layers are not symmetrical on purpose. I probably get highlights with them every other year. Several months later I came back for a haircut. The price is the same but I had to wait by reading four magazines while two other people are getting their hair done. They play Jack FM instead of k-pop now. While I was getting my hair layered, some lady walked in saying she was a missionary and asked us for money. They really need a permanent receptionist. read more

Sunny has been doing both my moms and my hair here for over 15 years! Cut, color, highlights, trims. She is very experienced and I completely trust her with my hair. She is super sweet and accommodating. Open during covid with all the safety precautions in place. read more

Across the street from the uber-popular Tofu Cabin, Passo is not to be overlooked for solid Korean hair stylings. There is also a Mandarin-speaking male who cuts hair, for those preferring that language set. But for me and my Asian girlfriends, we like the long layered look that these Korean women hairstylists do so well. For about thirty dollars sans tip, we get a quick wash, cut of your preference, and blow out. Not shabby at all! read more

I came here for a spontaneous haircut and I do NOT regret it one bit. My sister in law suggested this place because she's been going here for years for trimming and coloring. She called to make an appointment and to our surprise, she said that they are closed on Sundays. The first thing that I liked about this place was the fact that they opened the salon just for the two of us. My hairstylist name is Donna. She was so sweet and listened and suggested haircuts for me. I told her what I was planning to get and she hesitated and suggested that I don't do it because it might be too short for my liking. I showed her pictures of what I would like and openly agreed to it. She was very quick and I felt like she really knew what she was doing. She finished my coloring and cutting in an hour and a half and she even styled it perfectly. I will definitely come back and ask for Donna! read more

I got my hair done by Sunny! I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she did just what I was expecting! I got curtain bangs and highlights with ash brown. All my friends love my new hairstyle. I am for sure coming back next time. read more

The service here is fast and friendly. I went in for a deep conditioning treatment. The interior is clean and spacious and the staff are friendly. I love the smell of the shampoos they use and I even bought some for myself. The deep conditioning comes with a 15 minute treatment with your hair wrapped and connected to a machine. After the treatment, you get a blow out/straightener. My hair is long so for me it was on the pricey side but for those with short hair I think it would be more affordable. Sunny did my hair and she was very friendly and patient. I would definitely return to this location because I live close by and I enjoyed my service. They also have a variety of products that they sell there and they maintain the cleanliness of the interior. read more

Sunny, i think her name is... she's like the main lady and she did a TERRIBLE job. i showed her 2 pictures and told her, "yea this is what i want something in between this". She hurried, because i guess OLDER korean speaking grandma's pay/tip better... there happened to be one, sitting there tapping her foot. After she finished, i was SOOo mad, i didn't have the balls to tell her she EFFED it up. it was wayy to short, and she didn't even acknowledge me when i left. NOthing, not even a thank you for letting me EFF up your hair... NOPE. i went home and told my mom, SHE speaks korean. and we went back and she attempted to make it better but... it's still mediocre. i will NEVER come back. She's redonkulous. i mean cmon -__- 30 $ for a haircut & wash, not bad but it was worth SHIT. i'm seriously unhappy and i will NOT recommend this place to ANYONE. read more

The ambience is pleasant, the stylists are efficient, and the price is not bad. I will also give them extra points for speaking English, because people at the other Korean salons often don't speak any, at all, and that always makes for an uncomfortable experience. I took off a star because the stylist who did Angie's hair and mine seems to have only one "look" in her repertoire...which means Angie and I left the salon sporting almost the exact same cut. Weirdness! Good thing Angie will soon be back in SF, a good 400 miles away =D read more

I got highlights here today. They turned out very brassy. Pros: I liked the communication with the girl who did my hair. She was korean but she spoke very good English. She tried to ask me what I liked and kept asking me every step of the way. She tried to get it blonde so we bleached twice. Cons: My hair came out not as blonde as i wanted. It was actually a BRASSY ORANGE. I don't know what kind of stylist would let me leave that place with orange-brassy hair. I feel that she was more in a hurry to go home than care that my hair was how i wanted it. Overall, I would not come back here again, but I did appreciate how nice they treated me.... I'm sure they give good cuts but NEVER EVER GO HERE FOR COLOR. I'm not even sure that the girl who cut my hair was a stylist, how could she let me walk out with such ugly brassy orange highlights. read more

DON'T EVER GET ANYTHING DONE AT THIS SALON. both of the hairdressers suck. the younger one sucks even more. my grandmother and i got a haircut from this terrible duo of "professionals." the results were definitely not age appropriate, my grandma looked like an Asian HOOKER, i kid you not. she gave me too short layers on top and kept the length of my past the shoulder hair, along with snipping and thinning away my then thick and luscious hair to a mullet. i literally cried for days. i wanted to go back there and demand the 40 dollars back, but i probably would have made a scene. don't go to passo salon in cerritos/ artesia. the shampooer sucks too. read more

I used to get my eye lashes permed here. They do a pretty good job for $30. I am not sure if they still do it. Every 6 months I would get my hair cut here as well. I brought my mom, sister, friends, and family friends here. They all loved it. But one by one they had a bad experience and they don't go anymore. They have really good service here with 2-3 people working on you at the same time, but make sure you leave with what you wanted. If you don't like what happened to your hair or what not, it can be a bad experience. They still want you to pay even though you don't like it. But they will do a complimentary redo...IF they have time. read more

Super-baddd.... horrible experience. My friend come here for ages and she loved it, so I decided go give it a try. I told the male asian stylist I would like to cut 5 fingers short and he ended up giving me a mushroom cut where my hair was half my back long... also I asked to layer out my front part so it looks alive, but guess what? he doesn't know how to do it.... what the heck!!! I hate it and would not recommend it to anyone. read more

I got my haircut this past Saturday by DongMi, since my friends recommended her to me. I liked my haircut, just simple layers to cut off my split ends and give my hair some volume since I haven't gotten a cut for over a year. I like how she uses scissors to layer instead of that other knife thing that I heard isn't really good for your hair. I liked the cut but i didn't like how she cut my bangs. Overall it was okay. P.S. Don't you guys wish the hair washing process was longer? I would pay extra for a scalp massage I swear. I love it when they wash my hair. A plus about this place was that DongMi spoke English unlike a lot of other Korean salons. Major plus. 3.5 read more

I got my hair permed here about a year ago and really loved it. It was my first time, but the experience was great. I brought in a picture and they recommended a setting perm for my long hair and the waves that i wanted. It looked great the moment i walked out the door and grew out well until I cut it about 6 months later. I actually got complimented on my hair the day I got it done until the day I got it cut. Really. The perm probably would have lasted another 2-3 months, but I was just itching for some change. Also, the service was really fast, I was able to get out in about 1.5 hours. I can't say much about the cuts, they seem pretty mediocre, but perms are excellent. read more

I went twice so far, and was pleased with both results. I asked for and received a simple layered hair cut for long hair. The stylist (she seems to be in her late twenties) was pretty good about cutting off one inch, instead of the usual three i get anywhere else. Every time I've been (around 6pm on a weekday), there was no wait. The salon appeals to the twenty to thirty-something crowd. The only downside was how fast she cuts my hair! I guess it meant she didn't have a lot to fix after her first run through, but.... sometimes it nice to have that reassurance of a detailed cut. Maybe i'll try going there earlier in the day next time. read more

Dong Min - My Hairstylist. For the longest time I have been searching for the right salon, and every place I went to they would mess up my hair terribly. I tried this place out, it is a bit pricey, but my stylist perfects everything that I request. And is truthful about your hairstyle ideas whether it would match you or not. I have introduced her to all of my girlfriends, and they are now regulars there too. read more

This is my review of Donna for a men's style cut. The hair stylist Donna has a whimsical approach to styling hair. Where many stylist will have clean deliberate intentions behind each cut, the way she waves those sheers and clippers like Edward Scissor hands has me on the edge of the seat during the hair cut. She leaves you wondering if she's a Picasso or a 5 year old child with his first bottle of finger paint. But when all is set and done, she really produced results. When I looked in the mirror, I was pleasantly surprised my sides were nice a clean, hair is nicely shaped, and everything blended and tapered with perfection. I left the salons looking like one of those Asian pretty boys you see in the Japanese music videos. read more

Perm is unraveling in a rapid rate. Eff you, Passo. It's probably my hair's fault, since it's just dumb like that, but still. Eff you for not being miracle workers. read more

I don't usually get my cuts here, but when it comes to PERM, they know what they're doing. It's relatively cheap, and they use good product that doesn't damage hair all that much. I've gotten both tight/loose well-being and magic straight perms. Definitely recommend it to Asians who are looking for a natural wavy/curly look. read more

I've been going to Passo to get my haircut for several years now. Donghee is awesome, does a great job cutting my hair. They shampoo my hair before and after the cut. Friendly service, reasonable price. Will come back. read more

DO NOT ever EVER go for a volume hair rebond here. Sunny did my hair, she doesnt know how to do a volume rebond and they dont have the equipment. For $170 I am so disappointed with how my hair looks! That's ridiculous with the result I got. read more

I go to Julie for the facials! Feels awesome...she has magic hands! Plus she gives an amazing massage on your neck and upper back while giving you a wonderful massage. The salon isn't fancy...Julie is in the back room (not fancy either), but you get a great facial. Only accepts cash or check. read more

Min is so sweet and awesome! When I'm in Cali I only get my digital perm from her. Once it didn't come out as wavy as I wanted and she offered to do it again no charge and went above and beyond with her service. Her prices are the best for perms too, highly recommend her! read more

Great experience!! THEY BOTH MADE MY BEST DAY UNFORGETTABLE! I got my wedding hair and make up done here few month ago. Today I got my pictures and I just LOVE how Sunny and Dongmi did amazing job on all of us. I didn't hasitate to go here for my wedding day because I always go here for my hair done and every experience was great. I usually don't wear make up at all. This is what I worried the most what if I look weird as bride!!! but now I look at these pictures... all of their hard work paid off. I can't wait to take these pictures for my next visit. I mean.. the wedding day was hectic even if you prepared for long time. Without everyone at passo (dongmi,sunny and helpers) I can't imagine how it would turn out to. I thank them all to make my best day even better. read more

i went here once and liked it so i thought i would try it again. but instead all i got was an earful of korean words and a complete lack of customer service. i brought a picture to show the stylist what i wanted and she barely gave it a glance. during the "first round of cutting" she did some long layers in the back and barely in the front as i requested. i spoke up and she cut some more layers. maybe it pissed her off, i don't know, but my layers turned out completely uneven! the left side of my head has layers that are 2-3 inches longer than the right side. at that point, what was i supposed to do? ask her for an unwanted pixie cut? then came the bangs. i asked her for short, side swept bangs and instead she gave me these stumpy looking things. it was terrible. to preserve my length, i just ended up leaving. for $30 it sucked . i would have gotten something better at fantastic sam's. at least they wouldn't have been so rude as to speak korean to one another the whole time and completely disregard my concerns or comments on how i wanted my hair. be warned...stay away! if i could give them zero starts, i would!! read more

I got an eyelash perm at passo and the results were great! I got my lashes permed three weeks ago and they are still perfect!

Has gone down. Dongmee became so different. It's like she doesn't care about her customer anymore. She does half fast job and she has all her hired help doing most of the job. I had a brazilian with her and the end or my hair got burned that I had to get my haircut. Waste of all my money. I do not recommend this place. Go elsewhere who will take care of your hair and who will do a great job. read more

First time I had my haircut there I wanted a bobcut haircut but it turned up layers. 2nd time, I wanted a one length with bang but it turned out layers. 3rd time and for the last time ,bcoz will never have my haircut again in there, I wanted a sleek and shaggy witha side swept bangbut turned out layers with a short bang.The hairstylish there only knows one kind of hairstyle!LAYERS! read more

I have been going to this hair salon for ages. I have referred a lot of my friends to this place and they all loved it. I think their expertise is haircuts. I have so far not had bad experience with haircuts. However, highlights and color is a different story. I think one of the co-owner of the salon way back in the days was awesome with highlights and color. Ever since she left (I heard one of her family member was ill so she had to leave her job to take care of that family member) I have not had any good experience with highlights and color. read more
