This is hands down the best haircut I've had in years! If you're looking for someone who is skilled, thoughtful, and truly cares about the quality of her work, I highly recommend Kiyoko.

She told me she could do it, but unfortunately, it became clear during the haircut that she did not know how to achieve the style. She cut my hair short and then tried to use a hairdryer and comb to make it look like the pictures, but it did not work. I showed her the reference photos again and asked if she could get help from someone else. She asked a colleague, who showed her how to cut the style, but she still seemed unsure how to do it. Eventually, the owner had to step in and finish the haircut for me. For a long-hair haircut that cost about $100 total ($85 for the haircut plus a $15 tip), I was very disappointed with the experience. At this price point, I expected the stylist to be able to achieve the hairstyle she had confirmed she could do, or to be upfront from the beginning if it was outside her expertise. Unfortunately, based on my experience, it was not worth the price or time.

For the price, Win's gives a decent haircut…read more I was transiting through the area and saw the Win's Hair Design sign out front. At the list price of $12 for a men's haircut, I couldn't refuse. So I gave it a try. Language was a little bit of barrier initially, but myself and my haircutter got on the same page fairly quickly. It was a decent haircut. Also, most haircutting places at this price range tend to close early. Win's stays open every night until 9pm, except for Wednesdays when the store is closed entirely. This is not a ritzy place where you can walk in with a magazine photo, point to it, and say, "Make me look like that." It is, however, a great place to get a simple cut done.

The top and bottom were weirdly shorter than the middle - she cut the top at a slant, to create layers, while she blunt cut the middle and layered the bottom in some places, blunt cut it in others, and there were random chunks blunt cut throughout. The front was an whole three quarters of an inch shorter on one side... And then behind that, the longer side was a half inch shorter than the side that was short in the front. I had to go around and trim the random pieces sticking out. I honestly question whether she was trained. Even I would know not to do the things she was doing. Also, I kept telling her to do it differently and she just ignored me. Seriously, do not go here. I've had bad haircuts in the city, but this really takes the cake.

Cara was extremely flexible on getting me booked at a mutually agreeable time. Since there was an unfavorable review about using a certificate for the service, I was elated when Cara not only encouraged me to come in on a busy Saturday, but she at no point flinched when I handed her my certificate. I sat in the chair and told her I simply wanted a low light of dark brown strands to even out my haircolor. The bottoms were that ligher reddish fade from a box dye a million years ago. She got her color wheel out and after consulting me on the colors and my roots, convinced me to put mostly lowlights in but to add a few highlights. to keep the color vibrant. I was unsure about highlights because I wanted very low maintenance hair, but I decided to try it her way. I'm so glad I did! The color was AMAZING and not 'highlighty' in that bleached out fake way. It looks so fantastic and blended. It's multifacited without being a shocking contrast. I love the color! As for the cut, I have curly hair so I usually have to go in saying, "No short layers as I don't want to look like an 80's hair band video, and please nothing too short in the front cause that can become a mullet quickly." Again Cara, who has curly hair, recommended I take significant length off the front to lighten the curl and frame my face better. She promised long bangs and long layers. Every snip my hair felt better. I didn't realize how badly I needed a cut till she shaped my hair. I had her blowdry it straight so I could see the cut and color perfectly. I was ELATED! After she took her time putting in two separate hair color lowlights and highlights in fastidiously placed areas, and a very detailed and not rushed cut, she honored the bloomspot certificate with NO additional charge!!!!! She didn't even try to high pressure me in to buying product! I of course did buy a fair amount of product (all very reasonably priced for Redken and Chi brand). I wanted to ensure this supreme color and cut looked just as amazing at home so I knew I needed high quality products. The real test came this week when I wore my hair curly and styled it at home--I am the kind of girl who can hardly place my ponytail centered so this was the true test. I got sooooooooooo many compliments. I NEVER get compliments cause my curls usually get funky, but the cut she gave really did make a great difference on how the weight of the curls would fall and how easy it is for me to do at home. I am so happy bloomspot introduced me to my new stylist! I will definitely return. It was a fantastic experience!

I reached out through Yelp on a Friday, and within five minutes they responded and were able to schedule me for a Sunday morning appointment. From the moment I met Sammy, I could tell he genuinely cared about his clients. He was warm, friendly, and took the time to ask what I was looking for and what challenges I'd had with my hair. Even better, he already had thoughtful solutions. What impressed me the most was his approach. Instead of making changes without asking, Sammy explained what he recommended, asked for my input, and eased me into each step to make sure I was happy before moving forward. That level of communication, professionalism, and respect built trust immediately. The finished haircut exceeded my expectations. I left feeling confident, and for the first time in years, I felt like my search for the right barber was finally over. Before I even left, I booked my next appointment.
