One of those moms pops shop for hair cutting service. 4 stars because the price is good for men hair cut and they do a fast job. Sometimes they do miss a spot on my husband's hair but it's just an easy fix. It was worth it when we lived in Koreatown. read more

Great for good cheap haircuts, can't comment past that. It's just one person, and she only speaks Korean so service can get muddy if any modifications are needed. read more

We were in town and my husband badly needed a haircut. His cut is great! We'll be back!

Cheap place if you don't care about friendly service or good quality. (Yeah, hi, you don't know me, don't give me weird life "advice") They leave hair dye all over your ear and face (and doesn't bother washing it off). Terrible mistake coming here. If you don't care about how your hair looks, it's cheap to get a haircut $10/$13 (but hair dye on short hair is $48, and it's bad quality so that's actually pretty expensive). read more

I don't even know where to start. I showed the picture to the lady (owner) to cut my hair like this. It was no where near like the photo and she did a "perm" for my mother but some parts were not even curled. It was super uneven. She also cut my hair way too short but she kept making excuses and said it's fine it's fine. I walked out while my mother paid because I was honestly so upset that I was about to scream at this woman. She clearly does not care and thinks that her messing up wasn't her fault? Please do not come here especially for women hair cuts. We usually go to Korean hair salons but our recent hair salon had to raise up prices and it was out of our price point. We have definitely learned our lesson and not to go to a cheap saloon. Please save your money and time and do not come here. She is very rude and does not care. She clearly knew I was upset and kept asking me while laughing (mocking me). Kept asking if I didn't like it. Do not come here, please trust me. read more

The place to go get your hair cut if you're asian, and especially if you're korean. The cost is $8 before tip for men and the price includes a shampoo. They have their own way of doing things (you have to put on a gown before getting your haircut) and no one here speaks English (so make sure you come with a Korean speaking friend if you can't speak the language) but it's the best bang for your buck haircut you can get that involves attention to detail and good service (if you understand what they're saying). read more

This is my first time trying this place and there was only one woman cutting hair. She appeared to be the owner and was chatting with her friend the entire time, from the moment I arrived to when I left. She didn't even greet me or say goodbye. During my haircut, which only lasted about five minutes, she hardly used her scissors. I asked her to cut a bit more off the top, but she dismissed my request and kept insisting that it looked fine. I've never encountered such rudeness before, and it was ridiculous and disgusting. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I don't usually write reviews, but I had to make an exception this time. My advice is to avoid this place at all costs. read more

Amazing and quick cut :) I really enjoy how nice she is about making sure I know the process that she uses and actively letting me know what's going to happen next. I came here with a friend that speaks Korean but she didn't treat me, a non-Korean speaker any different. I've found my LA cut ! read more

You get what you pay for. I love this place because when I need a simple trim, I only have to pay $10. Other salons cost me $25+. So going to the salon was always a big burden for me. But after I found this place, I always go here for regular monthly trims. The only problem with this place is that the cuts are not perfect and accurate like other expensive places. I'm not too obsessive over my hair so i don't mind it. But those of you who desire perfection. Don't go here. You get what you pay for read more

Cheap but quality if work is very low. I don't recommend this place. Better going somewhere and pay extra $3 for better quality

The men's haircut is only $10 which is a very affordable price but there's a reason to why it's so cheap. We showed the owner the picture of the hair we wanted and told her the name of the style as well but after glancing at the picture for two seconds she was like alright and just shaved the side burns off when you are not supposed to. After the haircut, we were displeased by not just how unbalanced and ugly the haircut was but also because she was very distracted, inattentive, and careless. read more

My friend needed a haircut really badly and right before a music festival. This salon offers men haircuts for $8 and womens for $10. Not only was the prices decent, my friends hair looked nice. read more

I've been getting my haircuts here for the past 5 or so years. I like to get a nice short crew cut or flat top. I hear that it is not easy do this. They have beauticians who worked there for years and have steadily built their client base and their desired hair cuts. When I walk in they all know me and I know them all and we greet nicely. They will say always usual again? I say always. $8 bucks + $2 for tip. $10 bucks for a crew cut just like on-post. 15 minute and your done and out the door. What more could you want? read more

Even 1 star is not worth it for me! I've been coming to this Salon for a while and today it's the end. I asked the lady (older lady) to just TRIM my daughter's long hair and guess what?! She chopped it all and cut my daughter's long hair all the way to her shoulder. I was in total shock. I complaint and all she said was Hair is going to grow back?????!!!!! Are you kidding me? It took long time to grow my daughter's hair. The lady who cut my daughter's hair didn't care and she didn't even apologized. Very rude! Very bad attitude! Very bad service! Never going back again!!!!!! read more

The entrance is not located on the 8th-street-side, instead, you have to follow this sign through a small "parking lot" and the entrance is located in the back. Not too hard to find. $8 for men's haircut (incudes hair wash) and $10 for women's. Even as non-koreans we were able to come out with nice haircuts! She had my bf point at a picture of a haircut he wanted, then started razoring away. She was so speedy... fastest haircut I've seen in my life lol. But it turned out really well!! It looked like the picture. At least she must have a lot of practice on the same haircut, so I was satisfied with it. I just asked for a trim.. she cut a few layers in my hair and trimmed my bangs, and created a graduated/angled look in the front of my hair. Yes since she's REALLY fast at cutting hair she accidentally knocked out my cartilage piercing backing--- but no worries, I just put it back in and she slowed down after that. LOL. I guess it could have been weird because we were the only two non-koreans there, but we left with nice haircuts and $18 for two peoples' haircuts is so cheap!! I'd recommend this place if you want to take a risk lol. I love going to places like these. read more

Shoot. I forgot to ask who did my hair. Anyways, I'm sure she'll be there next time. I asked for a super simple cut- straight in the back and a soft layer in the front and to keep the length as much as possible and she did exactly what I said in record time. She also blow dried my hair and I looked cute. The cut was also even. I checked. Also, when I left, I wasn't full of hair, which I hate! I can't believe they are $10 for a woman's cut. I love that. I wished they would have let me make an appointment though. The wait was a tad long, but for the number of people in front of me, it wasn't that long. read more

I started frequenting this salon since 2005ish? And until I moved to the bay area in 2009 that was the salon I always went to. It's very affordable and they're pretty good with the styling. If you want them to get super technical, I wouldn't say this would be your best choice, but for someone like me, who just wants a simple cut, this is a dream. 4 stars only because P.s. also dyed my hair today, inexpensive and it turned out great read more

I have been coming here for years and tbh you get what you pay for. No seriously, hair cut for men is $8 + $2 tip = $10 which is not that bad. The hair cut you get here are from old korean ladies that probably dont have licenses. Getting a haircut here is a gamble. You could get a pretty decent hair cut or it could be fucked up beyond all recognition. Majority of the time its uneven haircuts, little strands of hair poking out, or something not to your liking. To be honest, I never really cared because I would just trim and groom it all out myself after the haircut. There used to be an old man that used to own this spot a few years back. I heard he had passed away from cancer which was really sad news. Unfortunately, ever since he passed away the service here has gone to shit. They have no system for a business. No one greets you when you walk in. The last time I walked in here (2 weeks ago) no one gave two shits as to me walking in. I sat down at a seat near the door waiting for a spot to open up. Which is what would normally happen after you get greeted. Moments later, a lady and her kids walk in and they are greeted by one of the workers and are told they were going to be next after a spot opens up. Like wtf? Was I not just sitting here waiting for a spot?? I got up and just left. Its just not worth giving my business to a spot where apparently my money is not wanted nor appreciated. I now go to Telegraph Barber, I get my hair cut from Kelly and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a good spot where you will appreciate their services. read more

The older lady "owner" has descent skill. She has long years of experience and the hair cut itself is not bad for the price. However, she treats her customers like shit for the low price and very careless and effortless to do the job. Her attitude is very bad. She has personality issue and bad customer service. I don't care how cheap is the place. I will not go back here again. read more

I got my first loose perm here and they did a great job - it looks perfect. The only reason they aren't a 5 star is because it's super dirty - like it's REALLY gross... I felt like I was touching other hair germs in the sink - like i'm not sure if they wash anything. But besides that they do great work! read more

When I lived in this neighborhood (literally 2 blocks down the street) my hubs and I used to get our hair cut here. It's like $8 for guys and $10 for ladies (same prices for 3 years...) and when we visited LA the other day, the hubs came back in. Same lovely people working there, same great cuts, same great price. We recommend it to all our peeps in Ktown, and will continue to frequent it when we're in town. Thinking of doing a perm here in Sept.... read more

We were referred by one of our waitresses in Ktown after lunch on a very hot day. My mom was in town a couple years ago, and since I rarely go to ktown, she asked for a mediocre hair salon. This place was not my standard "mediorcre" salon but mom was happy with the price. I've been here twice thus far and only because of my mom. You definitely can't beat the price! It's like a barber shop for women. Seriously, it's first come and first serve type of deal so you need to sit by your desired hair dresser and aggressively be alert or you'll never get your hair done in a timely fashion. The upbeat old man (owner's husband) passed away recently so you no longer get the same welcome treatment but the price remains the same. However, it's a bit quiet without him. According to my mom, the owner has the natural talent to meet her ahjumah standards (she wasn't happy with the lady next to her) as she goes for the $40 perm. Me on the other hand, I get a trim while I'm waiting. A client advised me to go with the lady in the far left. A haircut for $10, I can't complain I don't get my wash and dry. read more

STAY AWAY!! I would give this place 0 stars if I could!! I don't really do reviews on yelp or anything for that matter but I feel that the absolutely terrible haircut I received from this place warrants me to give a review to save others from the same fate. As a guy, my hair isn't that hard to cut/style. I'm working a professional so I keep the top and sides of my hair a bit longer to so I can style it. The sides of my hair don't touch my ears so it's still relatively short, same with the back and the top is long enough to froth up a bit to give a type of faux hawk look. Over the holidays my hair got longer than usual and I came back to LA to find that my usual place is closed for a bit for employee vacations. I figured I'd try another place out to get my by until they come back. I look at yelp and see that this place is OK. So I got, wait for about 10 mins and get seated. Usually from shampoo to finish at my other place is anywhere from 20-25 mins. This old korean lady finished everything in 5. I asked to leave the sides a bit on the longer side and not to make then too short (wanted a trim more than anything) and to leave the top a bit longer but to cut a little bit off. She used clippers 95% of the time and flew threw my hair as if it was nothing giving not head or attention to what I said or to an even hair cut. You can see the skin all the way around my head and the top is so short it just stands up I can't even style it cause it's so short. Not only that the sides are uneven, one side is shorter than the other and there's uneven patches on the top and back... Needless to say you should not go here. Maybe they do OK with older korean ahjushi styles but nothing outside of that. Do not waste your money, do not waste your time and save yourself from the terrible mistake that will lead to spending more time and money to fix it. I will never go back here again and if anyone asks me where they should go, I'll tell them anywhere but here! read more

I have been a regular to the Rainbow Beauty Salon over a decade, and they are great. Not a high-end and fancy place to do your hair, but for me it is a perfect. Speedy and cheap place to cut my hair plus good styling and free shampoo! High recommend this place for guys! read more

I've been going here for the past 5 years now. I get my hair permed almost every year. I have long hair. They get the work done and the lady knows what she's doing. I think price is pretty good here. The first time I came 5 years ago it was $100 and slowly went up each year and today I paid $150. I'm not sure what kind of perm I got because it seemed a bit different from the other times but I really liked the perm this time the best. And even when she trimmed my hair because the ends were bad, she didn't cut too much because she knew I didn't really want to cut it in the first place and I would probably flip out so I really really liked that. They're really quick, fast, and can work on multiple customers at once. I usually come here in the morning and usually it's not too busy. If you want to make sure you don't go at a busy time go right when they open at 9am. I think if you're not looking for anything TOO fancy and just wanna get a perm or get your hair straightened, I would come here. But I never got just my haircut here before so I don't know how good or bad girl haircuts are here. I just get it trimmed before my perm and since it's a perm I don't need perfect cuts or anything. read more

Does anyone knows where the younger girl went? She was the only one that did a decent job. I guess you get what you pay.

I was looking for a haircult (get it? Hair Cult or really fobby way of saying hair cut...har har) place to follow since I moved to LA. Supercuts charges $16 + 3 tip = $19 and they don't do a good job. This place is the place to go. $8 for a man's haircut. AND then they wash your hair for free...AND then they put hair product in and style it for free... AND then? no and then! Located right next to honeypig. If you're looking for a haircut and looking for good Korean food and don't want to pay valet in the evening this is a way to do it. I always end up leaving the joint spending $10 on the haircut and tip. Well worth it. I would Absolutely recommend it! read more

I've been coming here, and only here, for 7 years now. There's only one lady I let touch my hair, and that's the sweet ajima at the first work station on the left. I will continue getting my hair cut here until one of us drops dead. read more

I found this salon on Yelp. I walked in and got the service right away. Even on Saturday. The lady(I did not know her name) took care of me. She speaks English well asked me what style did I want. It was pretty quick hair cut. She did a very good job. It is very good pricing. $10 for women and $8 for men. They don't shampoo, though. I definitely come back here for the next hair cut :) read more

Even thought it was 10 dollars not worth it. I asked for layers and not to cut the length. But the layers were so terrible and she just cut however and it was a mess. Plus she cut my hair length by half. This is completely ridiculous. read more

Downgrading because the last couple times I had an unprofessional experience.. still a great deal for $8 but coming here is starting to feel like Russian roulette. It's really about budgeting I guess. I'll be back when my bankroll requires. read more

this is a small place and very cheap. im not sure about womens but it $8 for mens and Kris is the person to look for. a friend of mine referred me there about a year ago and im not going anywhere else. i've referred few of my friends there and they decided its the place to go and also they've been referring their friends as well. try them and be sure to ask for Kris. read more

If you come here with realistic expectations, then you'll be happy. It's in koreatown in an old building. If you're expecting a fancy salon or service, then don't go somewhere that charges $10 for women's haircuts. Simple logic. I come here for a straightforward cut... shorter length, thinning out my hair, and occasional bangs. Cuts are quick but if you speak up then they will fix/provide whatever it is you request. Walk in the door, grab a gown in the closet, and wait until someone calls you. Simple, no frills, and goes by quickly even when there is a long line. read more

Like other reviewers have said, I got the worst haircut in my life here. I look like a refugee with a bowl cut. Thank you Rainbow! Cheap, but not worth $8. Spend some more and go somewhere else. read more

went looking for kris like everyone else and it turns out she quit. she supposedly went to korea. my mom immediately got on the phone to see what the real scoop and i was left to the fast and capable hands of one of the ajumas there. it was a big cut - the 14 inch lop off. i was nervous but am ecstatic with the result, and my hair is on it's way to become a wig. the parking lot and the salon is tiny. they were bumpin' saturday at 11am but i didn't wait long and got a great deal ($10) for a great cut. read more

not a bad place to get a quick cut at all... it's cheap, relatively fast depending on the time you go (but so far it seems it randomly gets busy). its not the greatest hair-cut ever, but the two ladies that have been cutting my hair have been satisfactory. they also give you a wash before and after the haircut, free of charge, i don't mind leaving a fairly generous tip. read more

chris is gone. so kathy does my hair. still a great place. read more

The lady was rude when I walked in. I had a bad vibe about this place. She doesnt look like she wanted to work. Therefore I walked out. This place sucks. read more

If you're a guy and speak Korean, this place is the place to get your haircut. I used to pay $30 at a fancy hair salon, but this place does just as good of a job for 1/3 of that price. I've been coming here for over a year, and got my hair cut by two different ladies, and I have not been disappointed once. read more
