Hung doesn't just cut hair; he really understands it. I can show him a random Pinterest photo or just explain what I have in mind, and he somehow creates exactly what I didn't even know I wanted. His style and skill are unmatched. He knows how to work with your face shape, hair texture, and what fits your lifestyle, not just what's popular. Even after 20 years, I still look forward to every appointment. That doesn't happen often. Want the best proof? My kid goes to him too. Trusting someone with your hair for 20 years, and your child's as well, isn't just loyalty. It's real confidence. If you're still jumping from stylist to stylist, looking for the right one, it's time to stop. Book an appointment with Hung at Project XO Salon. You'll wish you had done it sooner.

It always looks natural, grows out beautifully, and lasts forever without getting brassy. I'm pretty low-maintenance, and somehow my hair still looks put together months later because of her work. Her haircuts are also super clean, and she's actually the one who got me into curtain byayangs and I've stuck with them ever since.

Experience day of: I had a relaxing chat about what I wanted, he was so patient with deciding on the vision. After, I had a heavenly wash with mini head neck massage. Then he went in cutting off many inches and added hella layers. Then he did a wonderful blow out with round brush, a little light styling mousse, and hair dryer to get the look in the after pics. Throughout, we had a great conversation - Jonathan is all around personable, friendly, and talented. Two weeks later thoughts: At first I was a little hesitant on how much I'd have to style it but then I air dried my hair a couple days after and it dried perfectly enhancing the waves I have underneath (my hair is straight on top and wavy underneath). He customized the haircut to my hair perfectly. It looks great blow dried too but it is nice to know I don't really have to. still in love with my haircut

I scheduled the appointment for 10am on a Saturday, and then I got a call where they would do the haircut at 10am, and then the color at 10:30am. My stylist for the haircut was Alexander and he was so nice! He explained every step and made sure I was comfortable as we went along. This was also a dry cut, which I've never had. I was about to take my glasses off, and he asked that I keep them on since I wear them most of the time and he wanted to ensure my haircut would essentially accommodate it. I've never had a stylist ask me that before and it makes perfect sense. So now my hair frames my face well, with and without my glasses. After the haircut was the color with Zoe and it was a relaxing experience. I wanted to fall asleep (I'm the type that falls asleep to ASMR videos especially with combing and wooden makeup sounds). Then it was a shampoo and style with another stylist. I called that day my self-care Saturday, and I felt so relaxed and refreshed after being there for nearly 3 hours. Now that my hair has grown out a bit, it still looks good. I love the layers that Alexander created, which took my now naturally wavy hair into account (my hair has been getting wavier as I'm aging). I feel like my grays aren't blending as well as the color fades. Maybe it's because the new shampoo I'm using may be too good at retaining the color. At a certain angle, it's very apparent where the dye ends and where my grays start. But you'd have to be shorter than me to see it, and I'm pretty short. Overall the color still looks great and tbh I don't think anyone is noticing my gray roots at the moment. The cost of the haircut and color was over $400 with tip. But my hair is still looking fantastic a month in. And this is something I'll probably do twice a year, so it's something I can save up for.
