I walked in last minute today not knowing what to expect... and wow. Tony absolutely delivered. For $40 I got one of the best cuts I've had in years. I upgraded to include a wash and blow dry for $10 more (so $50 total), and it was worth every single dollar. First of all, the wash. Tony washed my hair so thoroughly and thoughtfully. It didn't feel rushed or mechanical. It felt intentional and relaxing, like he truly cares about the experience. Then the cut. Clean, balanced, and exactly what I needed. He paid attention to detail and shaped it beautifully. It's one of those haircuts where you leave feeling lighter, fresher, and more put together. The fact that this was a last-minute walk-in makes it even more impressive. If you're looking for someone skilled, kind, and reasonably priced, go see Tony. I'm so glad I found him and I'll definitely be back. Thank you, Tony! read more

I am extremely disappointed with the service at SK Salon. My wife went in for a haircut and the stylist, Tony, clearly told her she could come back one time for a free bang trim. When she returned for that trim, he started arguing about it and making a big deal as if she was asking for something unreasonable. This is not about the cost of a trim. It is about honesty and professionalism. If you tell a customer something, you should stand by it. Saying one thing and then refusing to honor it later shows a complete lack of integrity. Very unprofessional and disrespectful experience. EDIT* This is not a malicious review, it is an honest account of our experience. Reviews are meant for customers to share what happened. There was no discussion about specific time slots. The only statement made was that "no place would cut bangs for free," which directly contradicts what was originally told to us. Again this is not about the cost. It is about consistency and professionalism. If something is offered, it should be honored, or at least communicated clearly and respectfully. We simply shared what happened. read more

Completely ruined my hair. I went in asking for long layers without removing any length. Tony initially followed what was request, and I was pleased at first. However, I noticed him kick something aside, which made me look back and realize it was a large ball of my hair. By then, it was too late to stop him. He removed a significant amount of healthy hair to thin it out without my consent. When he finished, my hair was extremely thin, and the volume I loved was completely gone. My hair is naturally curly, and this has significantly affected my curls. It will take years to regrow and repair what was done. Tony was kind, but I don't believe he has sufficient experience working with diverse hair types. His idea of beautiful hair seems to lean toward thin, sleek styles, and he attempted to turn my hair into that. I loved my thick, voluminous hair, and I was left devastated by the outcome. I'm writing this to offer advice to future client especially those with thick hair to be cautious, as he seemed to lack the necessary expertise. Although his intentions may have been good, major changes such as thinning out someone's hair should always be clearly discussed and approved by the client beforehand read more

This is a place is a gem, hidden behind Starbucks on Atlantic and Valley in Alhambra. Tony is amazing! The first time I came here, I just showed him a picture of what I wanted and he delivered! I left very happy. Months later. I returned with my husband... Tony not only did an awesome job on my hair, but he cut my husbands hair also! Tony's prices great, ($65 for both of us!!!!) and he works like a hair magician. Hubs and I have gotten many compliments on Tony's fine work, and I'd definitely recommend this hair salon to anyone. Be fore-warned, there is a language barrier, but good ole Google Translate solves that! read more

Great haircut. The man there is great at cutting hair with a scissors. I will be coming back. The vibe is nice.

Second time here and I always love the result. The long layers and face-framing turned out so beautiful. Thank you so much! read more

My boyfriend got a haircut here and they did a great job! It wasn't exactly like the photo reference he had but it suited his face shape well. read more

I went to Tony for the first time and had such a great experience! Some of the reviews mentioned a language barrier, and Tony himself mentioned in passing he doesn't speak English very well. But I had no issue -- I showed photos and he delivered exactly that. My hair looks completely refreshed, and this was the first time I told someone not to make my hair too short and they delivered! My length was exactly where I wanted it with some added layers for volume. The price was also great for the quality of the cut. The inside of the salon is so pretty and Tony even offered me water as I sat down. The service was top notch.e They only take either cash or Zelle, which wasn't an issue either. Great experience overall! read more

I am writing this review to warn others so they don't have to go through the same painful experience I did. I came here for a perm, and the owner recommended a "hot perm." Unfortunately, the process was a nightmare. During the service, I immediately felt intense heat and a stinging sensation on my scalp. When I told the owner it was too hot and that I was in pain, he dismissed my concerns. He told me it was "normal" and even claimed that if I didn't feel the heat, there would be something wrong with his tools. He told me not to worry, but because he didn't listen, I ended up with a burnt scalp and completely fried, damaged hair. A salon visit should never result in physical injury, and a stylist should never ignore a client's discomfort. I am now dealing with the painful aftermath of scalp burns and ruined hair. Please be very cautious and stay away if you value your hair health and safety. read more

I love my new haircut! The stylist really listened to what I wanted. Great service 5 stars!

I have been going to Tony because he's very blunt and honest, in a good way, about what hairstyle suits your face shape and/or hair type. He's also incredible skilled and coordinated with his hands and cutting skills. As you can see from the photos, he's probably the go-to person if you are interested in beautiful, feathery layered hair. The best thing is, he's very affordable with the type of haircuts he can do. Hard to find that combo in Los Angeles! read more

Tony is exceptionally talented. He skillfully added impressive volume to my hair, creating the look of a voluminous perm--without the damage of an actual perm. I couldn't be happier with the result! His services are also very reasonably priced. read more

My first time getting a layered haircut from Tony was back in February 2025 when it was $30. I had an appointment at 9:30am and I was the only one there. He was so great cutting my hair and taking his time to make sure it came out perfect. I told myself I would definitely come back again for another haircut! But today, was completely the opposite of everything I experienced before. Yes, I made a last minute appointment and he told me to come at 11:45am so I was happy he was able to take me in which is why I gave him 3 stars. However, when I walked in, another lady was starting to sit on the chair and they (lady and Tony) stared at me wondering what to do. And also, Tony was helping another lady with a perm. The lady helped Tony translate on his behalf and the lady said she was late for her 11:30am appointment and if it was okay to get a haircut and it will take 15-20 mins. I said sure and he even provided soda for me while I waited. Well, I didn't sit down on the seat until 12:20pm. He took 20-25 mins to cut the ladies hair who had medium length hair. He did apologize for the inconvenience so I told him it was okay. But what I didn't like was that he RUSHED through my layered haircut this time. The lady before me, he took 20-25 mins. But for my very long layered haircut, he only 15 mins and didn't give me the after oil hair treatment that he usually runs through the hair after he is done. I definitely saw him do it for the previous lady before me. I felt like he rushed me because of the perm lady who was also waiting on him and the previous lady's friend that decided that she wanted to get a haircut after me. If he couldn't give me the quality care like the previous lady (probably because they spoke the same language), then please do not accept appointments and making me wait 30 mins for my haircut. Sad because this was going to be my go-to haircut and it was near home, but I must go look for a new salon now. Don't make the same mistake Tony and try to juggle 3-4 people at one time! But thanks for my layered haircut today. read more

This was my first visit and I'll definitely be coming back! Tony was nothing short of gracious, kind, and completely professional. Even though I don't speak Chinese, Cantonese, or Vietnamese, communication was seamless -- he understood exactly what I wanted and delivered it perfectly. My hair refresh turned out amazing and I couldn't be happier! What really stood out to me was how welcoming and accommodating Tony was throughout the entire appointment. He went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, offering snacks and water during my root touch-up and haircut. It's those thoughtful touches, along with his skill and genuine kindness, that make this place such a gem. Highly recommend Tony if you're looking for excellent service and a truly positive experience. read more

He did a fantastic haircut at an affordable price. Definitely going to him from now on. I love the face framing layers! And very fast. read more

I was long overdue for a haircut and Tony delivered! He was quick in responding to my Yelp request through the app and snagged an appointment the morning of. I got the wash and cut service to get my long layers refreshed. He did an amazing job and his pricing is pretty fair. Some reviews mentioned a possible language barrier, but as a non-Chinese speaker I had no problem communicating what I wanted. Tony understood right away. I'm really happy with the result and would definitely recommend this salon to friends. read more

I saw Tony today for hair coloring and decided to write a review as soon as I got home. From the moment I stepped inside his salon, he was thoughtful and attentive. He took time to discuss with me and advise me on my color choices. I am very happy with the results. Tony's customer service is the best I've seen in a long time, and his prices are very reasonable. If you are concerned about the language barrier, you can use Google Translate. Set it to translate from English to Chinese or Vietnamese. S K Hair Salon is located in a shopping plaza, so parking is easy. Cảm ơn, anh Tony. read more

I walked in for a haircut, trying a new place for the first time in a while. When I came in, it was empty and I was the only client. The space felt clean and fairly new and the hairdresser, Tony was very nice and welcoming. I was able to speak with medium-proficiency mandarin and communicate with him, but I think regardless he would have understand what I wanted with a reference picture. I got long layers with front framing pieces - something he said most clients have came in asking for. I appreciated his honest opinion and him advising me that he would not cut it as short as I had originally planned because it would not look as nice. The most unbeatable part is the price, about $40 after tip even for how long my hair was. I'm really glad I found this place. read more

Tony was great. It was easy to make an appointment. He cut my hair exactly the way I wanted. We had a nice conversation. He also gave me hair care advice and tips to manage stress because I am experiencing hair loss :(. All in all, a good visit. Prices are reasonable too. I'd come back. read more

FIRST OFF, if you look at the note from the business. They speak 3 languages. Chinese, Cantonese and Viet. Fluently. If there is a language barrier outside of those three languages , please be patient and understanding to service workers. I was looking for a quick appointment and decided to call in. Thankfully Tony was able to squeeze my mum in that day. The haircut was great and he really understood how to cute and fit my mum's head shape. He was attentive and patient. Parking was a breeze and I was able to get some banh mi while I waited. I would recommend calling in just to see if Tony is free if you do decide to walk in since he is the only hair stylist on site and he does have a few clients. The store is clean and quiet with a nice seating area. He even has a little fridge with water which is perfect for this summer heat! Overall, a great experience with a hair stylist who knows what he is doing. read more

Tony is amazing with the layers and texture! He is definitely my new go to. Highly recommended.

Tony is TRULY talented! You can immediately tell he knows how to cut hair and is attentive to detail. He took his time to wash my hair and it felt amazing. I asked for layers and face framing layers and my haircut came out exactly how I wanted it. Price was reasonable and service was phenomenal! I was also offered a soda during my service which was a bonus. read more

Went to the salon as a last minute walk in and Tony was amazing and very understanding. I needed a haircut desperately before my birthday and he took me in. He layered my hair perfectly, was a decent price ($40), and was quick. He is very kind & patient with listening to what I wanted. He also gave me the honest truth about what would flatter me (not cutting my bangs super short) in a very kind way. Used google translate to communicate with him and the language difference was no issue at all!! It was great to communicate with him and I would definitely recommend!! read more

S K Salon - long layers with curtain bangs - Hair Salons Near Me - Alhambra, California

This place is truly a hidden gem. The owner speaks Cantonese, so I can easily communicate what I want without any misunderstandings--and most importantly, he really understands Asian hair. He knows what styles suit each person, and for the price he charges, it's completely worth it. I'm already planning to come back for a cold perm he recommended. I had never heard of it before, but after looking up the style, it's exactly the look I can see working for me. It's not the fanciest salon from the outside since it's in a strip mall, but he remodeled the inside and it actually looks really nice. Highly recommend." read more

I wanted a haircut last minute and I found Tony through Yelp. I texted him day of the service and he responded quickly. Walking into the salon I felt super comfortable and Tony greeted me immediately. I showed him my inspiration pictures and he did exactly what I asked for. I am very happy with my haircut and definitely will be coming back! My haircut was $40 which very reasonable compared to other salons. read more

S K Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Alhambra, California

Love love loveee!!! To be transparent, I'm someone who is a little spontaneous and impatient, so if I want something I want it ASAP haha! This place is a hidden gem & I like that a lot! I went through the reviews and the reviews pretty much had what I wanted. Fairly priced, straight to the point, same day appt. I called to book an appt with Tony and he was able to see me the same day, which was amazing. He doesn't speak much English, but it was fine. I've read through other reviews that there might be a language barrier, and some used Google Translate to communicate, but I didn't need to since there was another client to help me translate. I just asked for long layers & he delivered, I love it! I don't really write reviews, but when a place stands out to me, I have to!! This will definitely be my new spot for a quick trim. Just an FYI, he cut dries your hair, so I wouldn't expect how it normally is when they wash your hair and cut it while it is wet. Still did a great job (saves time too hehe) read more

I request for an appointment the same day and I was able to get in within an hour. I read great reviews about Tony and specifically requested for him to cut my hair. I showed up at my appointment at 11:30 AM on a Friday morning. The salon was empty and I was the only client there. I show Tony the pictures and explain to him what I wanted with my hair. I said long layers with lots of movement. I ask him if he can give me a razor cut, but then he suggested that would make my hair frizzy, which makes sense. He first blow dried my hair or straighten my hair with blow Dryer And dried cut my entire head, not wet. I was a little bit nervous at the beginning because usually when I go to a salon, they would cut my hair wet, but Tony knew exactly what he was gonna do and accomplish. I love how he texturize my hair with scissors all around Which add more movement to my hair and makes it very easy to style. He curled my hair at the very end all around which I appreciate, but I rather have my hair blown out here. I have pictures of my hair after the cut and curl and picture of my hair Straight or blow out with big round brush and hairdryer at home. I love the look and I'm so glad I made that appointment this morning. Thank you, Tony! read more

Tony did an amazing job on my long layered haircut. He truly excels in his craft, being both skilled and talented. He even blow-dried and styled my hair with product, which is a service that many salons don't offer with just a haircut. I'm really happy I discovered this place. Just a heads up, Tony doesn't speak English and uses his phone for translation. That doesn't bother me at all because his talent is evident. Thank you, Tony! read more

Thank you for such a beautiful haircut! Tony is truly a master of his craft. Making an appointment was easy (you can call or text) and his prices are very reasonable. I was in and out of the salon in 30 minutes. I think it's safe to say that I've found my go-to hair salon. read more

I should've listened to the review below that said he will cut your length. I came in and I specifically said I wanted my same hairstyle just a trim because I am growing my hair out. And then away he went with the scissors. I literally had anxiety attack after in my car because he gave me a butterfly cut with wispy layers and cut 2inches off. I went and cried my eyes out in my car all of my hard work with my hair gone just like that... my bangs are messy too but that I can work with. Just look at the pictures I just moved here and I usually go to a very expensive salon and I didn't wanna judge because you can find hidden gems but this was not one of them and I paid the price that not even money can buy. If it was a color issue you can always color it back but you can't glue your hair back on. I am pretty devastated and I think Tony is probably a skilled person but would benefit from taking more time during the consult to really understand what the client wants and ask more questions if he is not sure instead of just going away with the scissors and for the client don't be like me, I heard a chop at the beginning and I thought it might be okay but I should've had the guts to stop and/or just get up and out I deeply regret it now... giving 3 stars because Tony was nice and gave me a water read more

You could tell he really cares and puts the craft into his work. I got a cut, shampoo, conditioner, style and color for a great price!! We used google translate as there was a language barrier and it was no problem at all!! He had such hospitality and gave me some water, soda, snacks, coffee while I waited for my hair dye to settle. I'll definitely come back! I came home and my neighbor asked for my hair stylist info as she loved my hair!! Thank you Tony, see you again read more

Tony did a great job on my hair during my first visit. He's really good with layers, and the price is very affordable. I was really happy with how my haircut turned out, which is why I decided to come back. I scheduled an appointment with him, but when I arrived, he was already cutting someone else's hair and asked me to wait and come back at 12. I told him I'd return, and he agreed. When I came back, he was still cutting someone else's hair and another person was waiting, so I ended up leaving without even going in. I debated writing this because I know it's a small business and Tony is talented, but it seems like the appointment system isn't very reliable right now. Someone else mentioned a similar issue, so until that gets sorted out, I don't think I'll be returning for the time being. read more
