I used to go to the other Korean hairdressers but she wasn't available that day. She was really good. I called before I walked in yesterday to make sure if they accept walk in and they available so I went there. I didn't have to wait they were nice she asked me if I like it a couple times but tbh I couldn't see because it far and i wasn't wearing my glasses. I got my hair washed quick. I showed her the VIDEO of what I want and she ok with it. Long story short I didn't like my hair but I don't want to tell them (my fault too, it kind of because they were so nice so I feel bad for them) but it really bothers me and disappointed. I barely get my hair cut here in the states because I'm scared things like this will happen. It was $65 and I tipped her as well.

So, I requested long Spring twists, or small passion twists and overall my hair looks nice. The…read moreservice took 6 hours. There was one lady that worked in the front of my hair by herself and one lady did the back of my hair by herself. I understand that the style took a long time because of the length and size I requested, plus they were a bit understaffed. I have a few "gripes." When I drove away one of the twists in the front slipped out. I could have turned the car around but after sitting for 6 hours, I was over it. I reattached it myself. Also, two days later, some of my natural hair is sticking out of the twists in the back and I've been working my hair back into them when I see it. Additionally my hair is parted into a small grid in the front and I have some pretty large parts in the back. Don't get me wrong, I get it, but in think my hair would look weird if I tried to put it in a half up half down style. Overall, the hair doesn't look bad I'm just not sure how long it's going to last. If you're in a pinch and need braids, maybe risk it. I might suck it up and drive to Houston next time.

I honestly hate having to leave a negative review because I'm generally not someone who complains…read morepublicly, but I feel obligated to share my experience so others can make an informed decision. I recently paid nearly $300 for braids at this salon after discussing several protective style options with the staff, including braids, kinky twists, and others. Before selecting a style and even sitting down for the service, I explained that my main goal was to choose something that would look neat, hold properly, and last through my August vacation without needing to be redone beforehand. I have very soft, fine-textured hair and shorter hair length, which was clearly visible during my consultation and in the photos attached, so I relied heavily on their professional guidance regarding what style would work best for my hair type, hair length, and long-term goals. The braider who worked on me was the woman seated in the very first chair on the left when entering the braiding area. She is a shorter, heavyset woman with a limp. I mention this simply so other customers know which stylist performed my service. Before the service began, I specifically asked multiple times whether this style would realistically work well for my hair type and length and continue looking good over time because I genuinely did not know what to expect. I trusted the salon's expertise when I was reassured that this style would achieve the long-lasting result I was looking for. I did not leave the salon initially feeling dissatisfied. However, the next day I noticed one braid in the front that already appeared frayed and frizzy. Once I saw that, I started looking more closely throughout the rest of the style and began noticing additional areas with frizzing, fraying, hair sticking out, and sections that already looked worn and untidy in less than 24 hours. To be clear, the issue was not that the braids were loose. In fact, they were extremely tight. That is part of why the amount of frizzing and fraying the very next day was so concerning to me. When I returned to the salon the following day, I pointed out numerous braids that I felt needed to be corrected. While they did attempt to address my concerns, the solution honestly felt more like a quick band-aid fix than a true resolution. The stylist already had another customer in her chair, and it was very clear the goal was simply to smooth over a few visible areas quickly rather than properly correcting the overall quality concerns I was expressing. What frustrated me most was that each time I pointed out additional problem areas, I was repeatedly told that my hair type and length were the issue. However, if my hair type or length were truly not suitable for achieving a neat, long-lasting result with this style, that should have been communicated honestly before the service was performed -- not after I had already paid nearly $300 and problems were already appearing within a day. The biggest reason I'm writing this review is because I want people to understand how unhappy I ultimately became with the final result. This was not someone looking for a discount or refund while continuing to wear the style. I was so disappointed after seeing the condition of the braids that I completely removed the hair myself almost immediately afterward. One of the salon assistants even helped me remove it because they could clearly see how upset and dissatisfied I was. I think they were genuinely shocked that I was willing to take out a style I had just spent nearly $300 on, but that alone should show the level of disappointment I felt with the overall outcome. I simply wish there had been more honesty, better quality control, and a more genuine effort to properly resolve the concerns I raised.

I got the second worst haircut of my life here. Imagine being postpartum, with tiny baby hairs…read moregrowing back, and the stylist cuts your actual hair to match the postpartum regrowth. It's so bad that every morning I look in the mirror and genuinely want to cry. The stylist also gave me bangs -- even though I explicitly did not want bangs. Now, with the real postpartum hair coming in mixed with the trimmed front pieces, I wake up every day looking like Kim Jong-un with these awkward little sections hanging down. It is so bad. The outcome was clearly due to a lack of communication. The stylist could not speak English, which made it impossible to clearly explain what I wanted or didn't want. This isn't about race -- I'm Asian as well -- it's about basic communication. If we can't communicate, the result speaks for itself. I won't name the stylist because I don't want anyone personally targeted, but I will not be returning. I'd rather pay double to work with a stylist I can clearly communicate with.

My Hair Stylist Since 2019 -- And Worth the Wait!…read more I've been going to Mona since 2019, and I honestly wouldn't trust my hair to anyone else. I don't live in Austin full-time anymore, but every chance I get to be back in town, I call Mona and let her know how long I'll be staying and when I might be able to get my hair done. That's how much I value her! Mona has such a warm and friendly personality and a calm, reassuring demeanor. She makes you feel comfortable the moment you sit in her chair. She's also incredibly honest and professional. If she's booked, she'll tell you honestly, but she'll also call the minute there's a last-minute cancellation. I can book online, but she always tries her best to squeeze me in when she can. And with Mona, I'm willing to wait. With everything happening right now in Mona's beautiful home country of Nepal, my heart is especially heavy for everyone who has been impacted. My prayers are with Nepal.

I'm lazy with my hair and really only chop it off in the summers, so the thought of paying $100+ for a basic haircut makes me cringe. This place is convenient and Mona (owner) does a great job, AND she gets you in and out in ~30 mins. Pricing is transparent and posted on the website where you can easily book your appt. and add your card info. A basic dry cut starts at $35 and goes up based on your add-ons (e.g., shampooing, drying and styling, etc.). I had my hair washed (I prefer wet hair for cutting) and blow dried after the cut. I was able to book a next-day appt. online. I showed up early and Mona was running a little behind, but once I was in her chair she went to work and achieved the look I was going for quickly without cutting quality. I chopped 6 inches off and did long layers and a light face frame. Conveniently located in a shopping strip in north Austin, it's not the fanciest salon, but great service and products if you just want a good quality cut and style!
