Been coming here for a while since my mom always used to come here to get her hair done. Super nice ladies and I always leave here loving my haircuts. Quality salon with great products. My hair gets tangled often so it's nice that they also have hair product to help resolve that issue. Shoutout to my favorite hair stylist, May! She's always so quick and so good with my hair! Shes also easygoing/easy to talk to. Absolutely love this place and would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get their hair done. read more

Came here with my mom to get our hair and nails done. Nancy was the stylist that cut my hair and I'm so happy with how my hair looks! She charged $40 which I thought was reasonable. Highly recommend Nancy! They only have one lady that does the nails for their customers and they have over 70 different colors/shades to choose from. It was $30 for the mani and pedi and she did a great job on my nails. Street parking only and there's a 2 hours limit before 6pm (except on Sunday). I got lucky and found a spot across the street from Savoy, the restaurant. read more

Do not come here for any type of bleach or coloring job!! I came in at 4pm for an ombré ( and I know it's a 4-6 hr process) and I show her pictures of the hair color/ style I want. She said sure no problem. And after I sit I even show her an additional 4 photos like are you sure and she said its fine. After 1.5 hrs and the first bleach job, I had a straight line across my hair- nothing close to an ombré or blended. Then she was like oh you wanted it to be 3 tones of blonde blended and I was like yes and she was like that takes a full day... I showed you pictures and asked you twice.... Long story short- she bleached it 3 times and botched my hair. It wasn't even blonde but gold and I even asked what about a purple toner? And they were like no it's not necessary. Hair is completely fried and the quality looked like I had done it myself at home. They refused to even discount and made me pay full price! NEVER will I come back here again! Can't imagine how these stylist passed the licensing exam. read more

I used to come here a lot to see Nancy, a friend actually introduced me to her awhile back. At first I went in, like ohh...its all old ladies that are chinese/vietnamese. Not young chinese girls, like I was used to. But I was suprised! Nancy actually did a great job! She made me look soo much thinner (face-wise), and it only cost me $28.... that was back in 2006 Now, I realized Nancy cuts everyone's hair the same. Although, she does take the time to cut it (1 hr), to me, its still looks the same even if I request something different. The price has gone up to about $30-$40 dollars, and sadly, because its so far away... I don't go there anymore. read more

Went to see Jennifer today to get my hair waved (perm with bigger curls). She suggested I get a "digital perm" rather than a regular perm, because it could give me the wavy/big curl look I was looking for. Downside was that the cost was about double - $200. Overall - really impressed with how it worked out. I have been to Jennifer for 3 perms before, and the digital perm produced the best results. The curls are loose and wavy, and it is super easy to style. Another big plus is that the chemical smell isn't as bad as a regular perm. Her team was really attentive and Jennifer is always super nice. One tip - schedule an appt when it is less busy - things can get crazy in there, although I was happy with the service. read more

Ann is the best! I've been getting my hair cut and dyed by her for a few years now, and people compliment my haircut every time. She's good at knowing what the trend for younger people is, since she seems fairly youthful herself. The first time I walked in, I got Ann by chance and wasn't completely happy with the cut after. But after inspecting her work, I realized even though I didn't like it on me, it really had style and the good technique was evident. She's great at cutting exactly what I describe, I love it. She's really good at: 1. Highlights - I've had red, brown, copper, blonde, all my hair, part of my hair, bottom of my hair, you name it, I've done it. They look very professional and the matching of the highlight color with the base color is always perfect. I just tell her red tones, brown tones, etc and she brings out the color book and shows me different suggestions. 2. Layers - They look good and last! Months after a haircut, people still point out how great the layers look and ask who cuts it. When I had my hair hacked with a weed wacker at another salon, Ann still managed to save it and make it look decent. I had flat, front bangs all my life because I could never find anyone who could get my bangs to go to the side. Ann has managed to do it! I have so much confidence in her, now I just walk in and say do whatever you think will look good - anything! And I still haven't had a bad cut yet. Amazing. read more

Being a self-proclaimed "low-maintenance" kinda girl, I make my yearly (yes, yearly) visits to this salon to see my girl, Nancy, for a quality haircut and straightening. This lady is the best! So meticulous and takes a lot of pride in her work. The prices are fair, but I risk a less competent hair stylist if I dare search for another facility. Parking is horrible. Watch out for those darn street sweeping signs! Make sure to set an appointment early in the week, because they get pretty busy. Saturdays are pretty much impossible. read more

I love coming here Nancy does an amazing job perming my hair straight!!!! love it!!! I will defently come back to get my roots done read more

My hair was ruined by an expensive Japanese hair salon. It was thin and frizzy. I wore a hat when I could or I used curling iron. I didn't think anyone could fix it because it was so short and thin but Jennifer did. She recommended a green tea treatment and took her time trimming my hair. I was so impressed when I saw my hair all shinny and the cut added volume too! I'm also amazed with the all natural green tea treatment..it smells really good. I still don't know what treatment it is but it made my hair shine and dark again. Jennifer said after a few wash, it would get a bit lighter but overall I'm really happy with the result! My hair is not exactly easy to cut because it is naturally curly. I think I've finally found my fav. Hairstylist ! will take my mom here for haircut too. read more

Van and her mom just moved here from another salon, and they are the best daughter-mother team. They really take the time to give you the perfect wash and cut, and I always walk out of here happy. Make sure to book an appt with Van at least two to three weeks in advance! read more

Went to this salon and get it try with Julia. There was many hairstylists there but my good friend referred me to her. Exactly what my friend said, she's very nice and do really a good job. Her price is also much cheaper than anybody else. No wonder that you need to call and make appointment with her in advance. I heard she usually busy on weekend, so come on weekday. Last time I went on weekday afternoon, so she had lots of time to do my hair.AND... more importantly there was 20% off if you bring her business card. I believe if you come on weekday and not weekend she will give you 20% off, just ask her. Btw, She only fluent in Chinese, but her English was not really bad either,, just speak slowly... oww.. this is the number 626-236-2562, if you wanna try... =) read more

THAT WAS THE WORST HAIRCUT EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!!! The first time I went, it was so worth it. I got my bangs cut side swept for only 5 bucks. I went this time and had some lady with highlights cut my hair. I asked for side swept bangs and described how I wanted it but she told me that it would like the way she cut it. I sat down for about 4 minutes and she said she was done and charged me TEN DOLLARS! I got about a 2 centimeters off my bangs for that?! I do understand that my bangs were not that long to begin with, but she should have told me the price. I asked her to make it look a certain way but she argued that it would look weird too short. Ten dollars for 5 snips of a scissor. Never coming back. read more

I love Jenny. She's really nice and tries to do what's best for you. She asks you for your opinion and is respectful of your decisions. Never cuts more than you ask. Bonus: she speaks 5 different languages, which I think is really cool. read more

I got a men's wash and cut for $20 with Maggie. She took her time and it turned out great. I would compare it to a cut I got at a Korean Salon downtown called Etude that charges $30+ or another place in Pasadena for $40. Not sure why this place is rated 3 dollar signs. This will be my go to place from today. read more

Me and my friend are doing facial today with Anita, my skin feel refresh and hydrate. She is very gentle with my sensitive face. Will be back again for my routine facial!! read more

I have been going here on and off for the past 5 years and the only person I will let touch my hair is Jennifer, who is the owner of the salon. She really takes the time to make you happy and look good. She does awesome up-do's by the way. My ownly complaint is that when I make an appointment, I still end up waiting at least 20 minutes for her to be ready for me. Also, she's tending to another person's hair the same time as mine. Prices are reasonable and salon is always always busy so call before you go in. read more

My mom and I have been coming to this salon for almost 15 years. In the beginning their service was great, the workers were friendly and I thought this place was great! Just recently, my mother and I went back to the salon to get our hair done. They took us in right away, and washed our hair. They washed my hair, and sat me down on a salon chair. She began cutting my hair, and everything was fine until a few new customers walked in. Without giving me any warning, she began helping them and began washing there hair. I was just sitting like hmm.. alright.. maybe it'll just take a few minutes, it ended up taking 30 minutes! Since I am extremely patient I ignored what had happened, and didn't mention anything when she was finally done with the other customer. I decided to get my hair dyed, and it took literally another 30 minutes, for her to just apply the dye to my hair cause she had done the same thing! By this time I was even more frustrated than before, and after about an hour the dye was applied, and it was time to wash out the dye. She washed the dye out, put a towel on my head, and did the same exact thing with another customer! It took her another 30 mins, and by that time I was so furious that I began to blow dry my own hair! Long story Short even though I wrote a long story... I wouldn't come here anymore, even though my mother and I have had a lot of history with this salon. The wait is just too long.. My mother and I went to the salon and 1:45, I didn't get finished until 6 o clock, my mom on the other hand had more things done to her, but she didn't finish till 7:30.. read more

Decent haircut for a guy (from May I believe). She carefully use scissors throughout the cut and never used the clippers on the head (only the sides). Problem was she cut more than I wanted it cut. But overall it was a clean and careful cut. Just remember to make sure they get what you are saying (communication is key). read more

Best place I've been to. They're really professional. The price is a bit pricey, but hey you get what you paid for, right? And I love their interior design. It's unlike those crappy asian hair salons. read more

I really like Ann cutting and styling my hair. I have been having Ann to cut my hair for a few years. I needed to tell her what styles I wanted to cut at the beginning. However, she knew exactly what I wanted and needed after a few times I visited her for a haircut. She always brought me surprises, whenever I told her that I wanted something new and trendy. The layers and style stayed the same for a few months, which I really appreciated her professional skills. I had gone to this salon yesterday for a hair cut. However, Ann is no longer working there. I was very disappointed. Since I drove all the way there, I guessed that I just asked someone else to cut my hair. May used to be my hairstylist; however, she didn't really listen to what I wanted, but she cut the hairstyle the way she liked. I switched to Ann after a few times. I thought that May might improve her skills and communication skills with the customers after a few year, so I had her to cut my hair yesterday. However, I am extremely disappointed. She still didn't want to cut my hair thin with many small layers. She still used many reasons convincing me that thick and puffy hair is the new trend now. My hair is natural curly. If I don't have extremely thin layers, my hair looks like a puffy bomb. Even though she gave me a hair cut yesterday, my hair looks no difference than before it was cut. I don't think that I will go back there again, since Ann is no longer there, and May can never cut my hair with the style I exactly need. read more
