(don't mind my name lmao) benson was super duper nice!! he didn't do small talk during the cut, which i appreciate because i'm awkward asf lol. i love how my hair turned out, and i'll definitely be back again ^_^ read more

I have been to a few salons for my hair until I stumbled upon Oscar at his previous workplace and I was hooked, and thus when Oscar moves to Style ME, I had to follow him because I don't trust anyone else with my hair besides Oscar. He always takes such great care of me and my hair, whether it's a simple trim, a cut and style, or a full-on coloring session. He takes time without rushing, making sure all the cuts are even and the colors are evenly distributed. Hair coloring with Oscar also doesn't leave the hair dry but always with a healthy sheen. If you're in SGV area and need to pamper your hair, definitely give Oscar a chance and you won't regret it. P.S.: Don't forget to ask Oscar for his IG handle so you can see all of his beautiful works for his clients! read more

Benson, Thank you so much for doing such a fantastic job at my hair appointment, as always! I feel like a new me every time I get a haircut/trim from you. Love the compliments I get from others too! So grateful for your talent and skills, Benson! ** I loved that he washed my hair and even gave a small massage (I almost fell asleep lol) before he started cutting. I told him I wanted a butterfly cut and layers, also--a small trim because I wanted to still keep some volume! He did EXACTLY THAT, plus more! I was able to answer my phone while he cut my hair--that was a pleasant surprise as he invested in this new barber cape with sleeves! I loved the chill vibes and music choice inside as well. He ended with a blowout and even curled my hair for me. He truly gives the best service and quality haircuts I can get in town! Book with him now, you won't regret!! read more

Style ME Hair Studio - Butterfly Cut with Layers for Medium-Long Hair + Blowout & Curl/Style - Hair Salons Near Me - Temple City, California

Benson- the salon owner is hands down 5 stars service. He is very patient, professional, and most importantly, a very nice person. I am Asian and been coloring + highlighting my hair for over 20 years. For the past 2 decades, my hair was brown with orange highlights because my previous hairdresser (whom is also a sweet person and I went to her until she retired) employed techniques that could only lighten my hair so much. I found Benson via Yelp and texted him to express what I'm trying to achieve. He replied quickly, gave a quote before I committed to an appointment, and when I arrived he did a full color correction with care- slowing and carefully painting small sections at a time while rotating around the entire head to ensure every strand was cared for. The result is beautiful and better than what I expected. I couldn't believe he got my brassy orange to ashy blond! It took a few hours and he kindly proactively invited me back to work on a few spots since I had to leave to pick up my daughter towards the end of our first appointment. If you are looking for color, balayage, highlights, haircut- Benson is wonderful. I also got my haircut by Benson even though I just had it cut a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier. The "after" photo is the one taken in my car. You can see how orange it was before in the photo I took from home. read more

This is top notch Hair Studio. My family use to see Oscar way back from his original location and was moved to his new studio. In other words we're following him. My first appointment with him today and i was not disappointed. I honestly his hand is so soft that i cant feel if he ever touches my head. The cuts are evenly cut. That was my family initial observation. what can i asked more. The cost is very reasonable compare to other hair studio. Hand is soft, and lastly Oscar will wash your hair twice. I highly recommend this hair studio (Style-me). If your around valley area, pls go and see him or even the owner who do also the same service. Excellent service and I am recommending it to everyone. Good job Oscar read more

Style ME Hair Studio - Love my new haircut! - Hair Salons Near Me - Temple City, California

Benson is the BEST! He is great at what he does. Honestly, every time I get my hair cut I am amazed at how well he cuts it. He's able to put texture in my bone straight Asian hair. Then when he's finished, he takes a look at the cut as a whole and thins and shapes accordingly. It's this extra step that is really appreciated. So color, he brings out a color chart and his recommendation is exactly what I'm thinking. And since he explains the color and I am able to see it, no surprises! I have long hair, $190 totalin 2.5 hours. I've been coming to Benson for a couple years now. Got balayage by Benson today! read more

Style ME Hair Studio - Pardon the dog. Balayage by Benson! - Hair Salons Near Me - Temple City, California

Benson was very nice and detailed oriented! It was my first time getting a balayage done and it looked so natural and effortless. Benson took 2 hours to carefully foil my hair. (I also have a lot of hair) but he was very careful. The result is a very lived-in look and I love that the transition In color starts much higher than a regular ombré! Did I also mention I came to get my hair done for wedding, recommended by my makeup artist to see all the textures of braid, benson executed it perfectly (oh the pressure of it all ;)) It may be hard to go back to not dying my hair anymore... read more

I am so SO satisfied with my haircut. With the over-saturation and focus on colorists in salons that specialize in women's hair, skill in just cutting hair seems to have taken the backseat over the years. I've been to different salons that just do the bare minimum when it comes to my hair: length and simple face framing. I've asked for layers in the past, but for the most part they've ended up looking one-dimensional and flat. However, Benson has done the total opposite and has given me the exact cut I wanted. He's even exceeded my expectations with the level of precision that he has at cutting. My hair is really thick and I have a lot of it. But Benson took the time to really cut, add layers, and thin out my hair. I love how light it feels, but while still maintaining the length I want it. It was also a very relaxing experience because there was no pressure to make small talk. I always feel exhausted after getting my hair done because I feel the need to converse with my stylist, but I'm glad Benson works in silence. I was able to just close my eyes and listen to the music he was playing in the background. He took his time and it didn't feel like he was rushed or distracted at all. Totally focused. Overall a wonderful experience and I will definitely be a returning regular here! read more

The studio was a bit hard to find since it's so easy to miss or maybe it was just me. So I ended up being late to my appointment and got lost in the streets. I called Kay and she came and picked me up & dropped me off at my car and let me follow her car to the studio. When I got there Kay helped me choose which hair color would suit me since I had some worries about skin tone, my eyebrow colors etc. and Kay helped me decide on the color. If I had any questions Kay would explain it to me really well and gave me ideas on what suited me and would advise me not to do certain stuff I wanted because it would make me look older. So I was thankful Kay would advise me on how I should look since it was my first time dyeing my hair. I had fun talking to Kay and she's very nice and knowledgeable about her work :) and she also replies to all of my messages instantly! Kay deserves LOTS more followers!! hehe FOLLOW HER KAY'S IG: kay_lovehair read more

I know now that the five stars on yelp for style me is earned not bought. Def try out this place if you're tired of the usual sgv crap salons. check out my birds nest turned sleek if you don't believe me. So i was debating a couple of hair places in SGV and mind you i'm super picky and my hairs hard to work with cause i don't naturally have pin straight asian hair . On top of that i haven't had a haircut in years considering my damaged bleached hair. But i'm so glad i picked this place. EXPERIENCE: I showed Benson a picture of the hair style I wanted and he gave me that but one that suited my face frame. i can tell he's very meticulous with how he worked on cutting my hair. He also has extra layers of protection to keep hair away from my clothes and neck which i didn't expect but it was cool (some foam collar looking thing) and the shampoo wasn't the shitty cherry one that ratchet salon uses. it almost smelled like the high end japanese shampoo. I also loved the fact that he didn't try to make awkward small talk with me but was super friendly in greeting me. I basically relaxed and got the hairstyle i wanted. He charged me around $50 which is about right for my thick long hair. Parking is plentiful in the back but the store is easy to miss i had to go back onto temple city and make a square in the small streets to easily access the shop. My only gripe is that he didn't put any oil or serum with fragrance in my hair (usually high end salons do that ) but i honestly don't mind with the quality work he did, my hair was softened already by the conditioner he put in my hair .

One million stars for Benson!!!! I can't express how much I love that he was able to achieve something a little complicated and very time consuming and that he was game to try. We had discussed a few ideas, I'm growing in my natural grey but wanted to have some fun as I did it, so I did bleach some parts of my hair. I just love! I also like that he doesn't seem to be into small chat. read more

First time getting a haircut here and was very happy with the result. The hairstylist was very nice and patient with my requests. He is a multitalented guy, who did everything from washing, cutting, cleaning up and cashier; he was amazing! I cut my hair for about 2 inches because the ends were very dry. I really like how it turned out, my hair feels light & way more manageable now. I didn't have bangs before and decided to do one and I did not regret it. Definitely will come back for my next haircut and more, thanks for a great service! read more

Benson is a master hair stylist! I was a little reluctant to get a haircut during the pandemic but going to benson and his salon made me feel reassured that I was going to be in a safe environment. Benson took the time to sanitize and wipe everything down before I started my haircut, he always wore a mask, and I was the only customer in the salon so there was no need to worry about a crowded space. I opted for a lob (long bob), I showed him a picture of what I wanted it to look like and he executed it masterfully. I really love his attention to detail for such a simple haircut, making sure every strand and angle is 100%. He did a wet cut, then dried my hair and did a dry cut!! Then he styled it with some beach waves. The finishing oil he put on my hair smells so good!! I can't stop smelling my hair. Thank you so much! If you're a new customer, don't forget to check in on yelp for a 20% discount! read more

Wow, call me impressed! I've been to a ton of $$$$ salons that don't do as good a job as Benson. I got a haircut and color today for the first time in almost a year and a half. My sister recommended Benson so I decided to give it a try. He is SO incredibly detail-oriented, focused, and seems to really care about giving you the outcome you want. Usually when I get my hair colored, there's inevitably a drop or two of dye that gets in the outer edges of my forehead. Benson is so meticulous, he carefully takes the time to make sure everything is perfect. You won't be offered a variety of pastries, teas or coffees here but you'll get the hair you want! Another plus for me is that he's not much of a talker. This is much more enjoyable for me than a chatty hairdresser. I'll definitely be back. Easy free parking in the back. read more

Been here twice and will proabably continue to come back for years to come. Benson is literally the most meticulous hairstylist I've ever met. I was sporting an asymetrical bob I really liked but needed a trim for CNY. Consulted with him about the length and asymmetry and he was really knowledgeable, taking into consideration the texture and volume of my hair. He also didn't cut off 345464 inches when I only asked for a 1 inch trim. I'm not much of a talker so we were both pretty quiet throughout but I didn't mind it much seeing the amount of effort and detail he was putting into his work. $48 for a women's haircut. Oh, and ask him about the tattoo on this left arm! read more

Kay is my hair stylist for cut and color. She has been doing my hair for 4yrs now. She does not disappoint!

Thank you Benson! I'm so happy with my new haircut! First off, I was able to inquire about getting an appointment through Yelp and Benson replied pretty quickly! I arrived around 2:30pm and Benson was able to immediately ready to get started. First, I had not cut my hair since April 2016 so my hair grown quite a bit. Unfortunately, my hair is thin and almost lifeless. I wanted to get layers for my hair. I showed him a couple pictures of what I was envisioning...now he did ask me if he could cut a bit more than I wanted...at first hesitated but hey it's hair! It'll grow back! After, he began cutting and I must say he was very patient and took his time. I didn't feel like he rushed the process and honestly I LOVE my layers! My hair is cut so well and nice! It's easy to manage but my hair now has life to it! Highly highly recommended! read more

My friend recommended this place cause she knows the owner, Benson, and he lived up to her high praise! He first washed my hair (which felt great and relaxing) and then took great detail to cut my hair short like I wanted it. He was very focused, super nice, and one could tell he is a hard worker. It's cute and meaningful how he came up with the name for his hair studio (ask him ). I highly recommend you make an appointment and come here for your hair cut!! read more

**Actually 4.5 stars** Wanted to try a new salon to re-dye my hair after a year since my first hair dye and found this one that was also pretty close to my boyfriend's house! I read great reviews about Benson, either it was just hair cuts or hair dying so I decided to give him a try. Made an appointment for a hair consultation and to get all the information I need before letting him take over my hair. He speaks little English and I barely know Chinese so another language barrier but that's okay! He was very patient and diligent! HAIR: so I showed him a picture of what I wanted and the color and everything and he started to get to work! The color was a balayage of a blonde/silver. He first trimmed/cut my hair. I didn't want to cut too much and he respected that I didn't want to cut too much but still wanted to get as many of the split ends out. Then he started on the coloring. It took around 4 1/2 hours and I think he did 2 - 3 sessions. I'm honestly not sure what's considered as a session. I've always thought it was when they would just apply different layers of the color. He definitely took his time and wanted to make sure to achieve the color I wanted and asked me to wait a little longer here and there since the color wasn't lightening my hair as he wanted. PRICE: $160 coloring + $40 hair cut. He said this is with the 20% check in on yelp. This is $60 less than what I paid for the first time and I was okay with it since it wasn't too cheap but also not too expensive and right in the middle of my price range! I personally didn't think the haircut price was worth for what I got. He did trim my hair and cut very little which is what I liked but he didn't cut it the way my hair already was, which was a V formation. I'm not sure if this is my fault as well since I didn't tell him but overalls even thicker than before and I don't like thick hair. It seemed like he just cut straight along the ends of my hair. :( but it's okay honestly, can get it fixed. RESULTS: other than my hair cut issue which wasn't a huge deal, the color wasn't the same exact color I was hoping. I showed him a more of a silver/blonde color that was also a balayage on the person in the picture. The color was the only issue but only at first, it started to grow on me just a little later on the day. I think the sun really makes a difference on the color! In the car is when I saw it was more blonde and a little silver. I think he didn't tone it enough but nonetheless, I still like it! I've gotten a lot of compliments when I posted pictures so I'm happy with that and I really like it at the end. :) the balayage is more of a technique as I've learned and been told and I'm not used to it since I've gotten an ombré before. I recommend Benson! He's gentle and patient! read more

Had my haircut yesterday and was in awe of Benson's attention to detail. Having my haircut yesterday was kind of an impulsive decision, but I'm glad that I made that decision ;) The haircut, shampoo and styling lasted for a good 60-75mins. The place is new, clean and looks high end. The price is great, especially with the 20% off he offers for first timers! Long review starts here: I've tried having my hair cut by A LOT of stylists, and, I swear, no one did a better job than Benson; his attention to detail and his passion for what he does really made a difference in my experience. Also, he makes sure you get the haircut you want, not what the stylist wants. My hair felt super healthy and light after the haircut! I thought, maybe it's just the way Benson styled it that made my hair feel that way, but it's not (I waited a day before I made this review). The way he cut and cared for my hair made my hair look better! It's true that finding a stylist is like dating, you have to try and try until you find THE one, and I think I finally found the one With Benson's skills and knowledge in hair styling, what you are paying for is REALLY worth it! read more

I've been coming here for more than 3 years and I've always left happy. He is very consistent in the excellent quality of hair care. Benson is always so patient, so careful and thorough with every part of the process. I got a haircut and balayage again and it took a little more than 5 hours. It's actually funny whenever I update my review I can see all the photos of my different colors through the years.

This was one of the best haircuts that I had in my life! I waited couple of days to write this review to make sure I really like the result. First time trying out this place after reading all the good reviews on Yelp. I showed Benson the picture of the hair style of my choice, and emphasized that I needed some volume upper back. Benson delivered exactly what I wanted. Really impressed. He is nice and easy to talk to. If you have a specific style in your mind, describing well to him will help. I will definitely come back for future haircut. I didn't have coloring since I didn't need to. He gave 20%off on the first time customer who has a Yelp account. read more

This guy is really cool. I went there for hair coloring. This is my first time also. I told him about the color I want. He gave too many times for discussion & explained patiently about the facts of coloring. I literally worried about the color that I chose. Finally, after washing & blowing my hair, I was totally satisfied with my hair color. I will surely come for next time. Today I went there for hair cutting. This guy is amazing. I like my hair style very much. I cut my hair yesterday. This is my second time. It turned out amazingly. Omg, I like my hair style. Thank you so much. My sister went there for hair cutting and color dying. She is really satisfied with his work. He is such an amazing hair stylist so far. read more

Found this place near my work and Benson took care of me. I been dreading to cut my hair since I couldn't find a stylist that I like. Found Benson on Yelp for grand opening 20% off Service so why not? He was very attentive and listen to what I want. From wash to cut, He patiently took 90 mins, he didn't rush like other place. He layer it with scissor and not razor. He blow dry my thick hair in the lowest setting to avoid damage even though it took longer. Went from a fizzy, butt length hair to a cute, bobish cut above my shoulder. I am glad I got rip of my unhealthy hair and start fresh for 2017 I was really happy I found my stylist :) read more

I am so glad I came to Benson At style M.E. studio because he is truly an amazing hair stylist! Locations: super easy to find with plenty of parking in the rear lot. Street parking is also available (granted I came on a Thursday) Studio itself: newly remodeled, very clean and stylish. You can tell the owner put a lot of work into renovating it Booking an appointment: I contacted Benson through Yelp on Wednesday morning and he got back to me within an hour confirming my appointment on Thursday at 10:30 (no booking 3 months in advance for haircut and color) Price: super reasonable and he honors 20% discount for first timers Actual experience with Benson: I have to say Benson is one of the few very passionate, talented, and creative hair stylists in the area. He takes a lot of pride in his work and is a perfectionist of what he does. The amount of time and attention to details he put into your hair will make you want to go to nobody but him! So I came in for a hair cut and a bayalage with no expectations since it was my first time here , but he went above and beyond to make sure I am satisfied with the final product. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a haircut or hair-coloring to give Benson a try because you won't regret it! I just have so much nice things to say about my experience here and I don't want to make this review longer than it already is. so ask me if you have any questions :) Thanks again Benson for your amazing work! read more

Benson made my first bleaching/balayage experience super pleasant! I had super long, black hair coming into my session (approx 2 years since my last haircut). I wanted to snip a few inches off my hair and then dye it an ash brown that would fade naturally over time. My appointment was at 11am on a Wed afternoon and I was the only one there upon arrival so no wait. Was offered water, but if you have a longer session and want to eat you'd probably want to bring your own snacks (warning: bring easy finger foods cause moving around with all those foils in your hair is pretty difficult). My eyes did start watering a little as the bleaching got closer to my face but it stopped after a while #beautyispain I didn't make much conversation with Benson but I was okay with that (made it easier to study for the GRE ) Overall, as other reviewers have mentioned, Benson is nice and super gentle with hair! Only slightly negative thing is that my finished hair looked more brown than it did ashy but it doesn't look bad by any means! Would def recommend Pricing: I was initially quoted $180 for balayage & $48 for cut (for a 4-5 hr session) over the phone. After a 6 HR session, my final charge was $220 for balayage and $40 for my cut (20% off for first timers with yelp check-in). Even though I paid more than anticipated, I completely understood. My hair was super long and needed that 6 hr TLC. P.s. how is it that my hair is softer after bleaching than it was when I first went in?! #salonmagic read more

So excited about the cut I received today! My hair was in horrible shape; dry, tangled, and dull. But I walked out feeling like a million bucks! Benson was very responsive when I reached out for a last minute trim. He was so kind and worked with my schedule. I went in and he listened to what I wanted and added an extra flair! I kept mentioning long layers with volume and healthy ends, he delivered and then some! And for the time he gave for the wash, cut, and style I am amazed at how affordable it was for top notch work! Definitely go to him and get some seriously beautiful locks! I plan to get a balayage one day soon too because he is quite the artist! read more

I came here last week for a hair cut for the first time, and was very happy with the results! I had VERY long hair (grown long for my wedding) that is very thick and heavy.

Benson takes great care of his customers and pays attention to all the fine details. Of all the hair salons I've been to, I have never had someone handle my hair as gentle as Benson - he was so gentle I was falling asleep in the chair!

Came here specifically wanting a belyage but wanted consultation first. I even showed him pictures of what I wanted and to make sure if it was something he can achieve. One of my main concern was the bleaching that can potentially cause great damage to my hair. He assured me he could still do a belyage without bleach although it would be subtle. He even showed me a sample of a light colored (ashy blonde hair) he could achieve without dye. My hair ended up being dyed a solid color - no variation in color at all. The color being dark brown (hardly no change to my original color). Furthermore, he tried to play it off like there was a change in color from root to tip. But no, there was no variation at all. This stylist did not listen at all to anything I had wanted. And he made me believe he could achieve something he couldn't. I was so disappointed. If I wanted a simple dye job, I could have gone to regular stylist and would have paid less than 1/2 of what Benson charged me. I felt absolutely scammed. read more

He's really precise and exact so there are no random uneven strands. The location itself is good because there is a lot of parking and the inside of the studio is very clean and professional.
