    Omg!! Love going here to get my hair colored, cut, and styled! ! The staff are so experienced, and really friendly!! You can't go wrong with any of their stylist, but I love going to Yen, she is the expert of color!! I know so many friends and co-workers who have been coming here for decades to get their hair done, and now I totally get why! Would highly recommend Shing's Hair Studio!!

    We walked in for haircuts and we didn't have to wait long. There were 2 guys ahead of us. We waited maybe around 30 mins. Our haircut really only took 10-15 mins. We liked how fast Lucas cuts and haircut still looked good. A lot of other customers were getting their hair colored with the female staff and male owner. Price was ok. Easy parking in lot shared with other business.

    Love this hair salon!! I've been coming here for the past 2 years now and Johnny is the BEST and is so sweet! He's very attentive to detail and makes sure my hair is healthy in the end despite all the bleach I go through. My mom used to come here 20+ years ago and Johnny has always been amazing. 10/10 would recommend and to book an appointment with him prior to going since they get so busy! :)

    Short hair cut. I think the quality speak for itself?

    Hair dangling outside a straight horizontal line. I had to cut lots of loose hair that was 2 inches longer than rest. Need me to say more? You can judge by looking at photo. Not everyone cut this way though.

    Took off 6 inches.

    Shing's is open right now during SIP - their hours on Yelp are reflective of their actual time. They are significantly busier on the weekends, and really quiet and slow on the weekdays, so if you want a hair cut and want to do it while there aren't that many people there, I recommend making time during your work day. I got my hair cut and aside from everyone wearing masks, and there being some partitions, there's nothing really ostensibly different re. covid protocol. Everything seems pretty clean, but there's still people waiting inside and there were at least 7-8 employees inside when I went. I asked to get all my dead ends cut off because my hair was pretty unhealthy. It ended up about 3 inches shorter than I anticipated. The stylist was polite and kind, and she styled my hair so that it was really cute but since then, I haven't been able to style it like she did and it ends up flipping in and out in all sorts of directions and I can't wait for it to get longer so I don't look so mullet-y. Haha.

    I went here for a simple trim. Did my research on Yelp and decided to give this place a try. I called to make an appt. but apparently you don't need one, unless it's for someone specific. The lady who picked up the phone said to just come in. I came in and was able to be seen right away by Danny. I really loved how he tended to my hair. Took his time with the trim, got rid of all the dead ends without cutting my hair off! I can always appreciate someone who take time on their work & make you feel valued. And can I also add that the cut only cost $33??! I have found my stylist. One more thing I'd like to add is, they did not shampoo my hair before the cut. Not sure whether or not that is an extra service you ask for if you want it? Either way, a shampoo is not important in my book. I really enjoyed this place, will be returning for my next trim.

    This was my first time coming to this hair studio as well as first time getting my hair colored in a long time, and I am super happy with the results! Johnny is knowledgeable and professional and helped me pick out the proper brown to get highlights on black hair with. He talked us through different options and was able to suggest colors based on the photos we brought as inspiration. We were easily able to get an appointment for a Memorial Day Monday morning and I loved my new aah brown highlights! The staff was super kind, fun to talk to, and attentive -- would highly recommend this salon!

    Absolutely love this place! Helen has been cutting and dying my mom and I's hair for 15+ years now. Such a sweet heart and the staff is super friendly. I've referred a handful of my friends to her and she always does a wonderful job. Thank you!

They use high-quality products that never leave my hair feeling dry or fried. What I appreciate most is the honesty. My colorist is super straightforward and realistic from the start about what is actually attainable for my hair. Plus, she generously teaches me how to maintain the color at home so I don't have to spend a fortune visiting her as often. Honestly, I still get compliments on my highlights even 6 months afterwards! You can tell they put their clients first, not just the payout. Insider Tip: They are rightfully very busy! They do welcome walk-ins, but it's definitely not guaranteed. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment in advance. Honor your appointment time or else you might need to get back in the queue.

I used to visit this salon when Kim worked here, and she was always friendly, welcoming, and did a great job cutting my hair. Unfortunately, my recent experience was completely different. This time, I wasn't able to make an appointment in advance, so I walked in. A hairstylist asked whether I had an appointment or was a walk-in. When I told her I was a walk-in, she abruptly told me they couldn't accommodate me. What bothered me was not that they were unable to take me, but the way it was communicated. She didn't ask what service I needed, offer any alternatives, or suggest making an appointment for another day. The salon normally closes at 7:00 PM, and it appeared there was still time before closing, so I was left wondering why I couldn't be helped. I used to bring my kids here for haircuts, and the atmosphere was never like this before. Sadly, this experience left me feeling that the staff does not value or know how to treat customers respectfully. Based on this visit, I am very disappointed and will think twice before returning.

I came in 10 minutes later and upon walking in I was approached by the lady I spoke to on the phone, her name was My. She was the absolute sweetest lady ever! She took me into her chair and asked me what I wanted. I told her my hair was dead (I was previously blonde then went brunette and just got tired of my hair breaking from brushing my hair) I told her I wanted a medium length, straight blunt cut. She listened to my concerns and even had suggestions on how to take better care of my hair. She then washed my hair and started snipping away. She cut it medium length and last minute I wanted to cut it shoulder length LOL. I just wanted to start all over again as my hair grows pretty fast anyways. She was so sweet and didn't even mind that I wanted to cut more off last minute. When I tell you she took her time with my hair, she took her time! My was so easy to talk to that it felt like I knew her forever. I can honestly say that I'll be back to see her for all future hair cuts and trim touch-ups!

On impulse, I decided to try the hair cut at Hair Plus since it is very near our house (I had been to several in the past). Am glad I did! Upon entering, Yvonne immediately approached me and asked what I want. I told her I wanted my hair roots dyed and have a hair cut to remove the split ends. The moment Yvonne started cutting my hair, I can immediately see that she is professionally trained. I had a salon back in the Philippines so I know when a hairdresser is really trained. Also, their pricing is very reasonable. I've been so happy with the result! Thank you Yvonne. I will definitely recommend you and the salon to my family and friends!!!

I'm very picky with my hair and have been blonde for over a decade, so finding a reliable stylist in the Bay after moving from OC was important to me. Unfortunately, the scheduling process was frustrating. The website was confusing if you don't know the exact service names and kept logging me out, so I had to restart multiple times. Communication was also difficult,I had to follow up more than once and even call just to confirm my appointment. The day before, I was told Cindy had an emergency and needed to reschedule. I understand things happen, but I had seen similar reviews mentioning cancellations. We rescheduled, but I ended up getting sick and had to cancel. Getting my deposit back required multiple follow-ups, and I was initially refunded the wrong amount, which I had to correct. They were really apologetic which I appreciated. I can't speak to the actual quality of the hair services, but from a scheduling and communication standpoint, it was a hassle. Since I know I'll need consistent, ongoing appointments as a blonde, I'm really looking for somewhere with easy, reliable booking. Unfortunately, this experience felt too difficult, so I'll keep looking for other options!
