    Women's Haircut
    Leslie M.

    Min did a great job on my haircut! I got a trim with layers, and she really cleaned everything up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She was friendly, listened to what I wanted, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The price was great too, especially for the quality. I'd definitely recommend her!

    Japanese Magic Straight
    Phung V.

    I used to get my hair Japanese Magic Straight in Garden Grove years ago but the lady retired. I decided to Yelp some places to do the Japanese Magic Straight again and found this spot in Fullerton. I came here on a Thursday at 3pm. The process takes about 4 hours. Min Lee did such a good job. It was a similar process to how I did it at the other place but Min Lee made sure to straight iron every strand of hair. She was very intricate and took her time on my hair which I appreciated very much. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She was such a nice and sweet person. She was afraid I was hungry and offered me drinks and string cheese.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The outcome of my hair was so shiny, silky, smooth and straight. I recommend you coming here. I'll be coming back for sure.

    Before

    I got a haircut and a Japanese straightening perm last month with min. She is amazing I trust her with my hair until she is done with hair! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will keep coming back Min is too good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Honest and will know exactly what to do for your hair. Her price is the best in OC. The interior is so cozy because her dog is so cute and welcoming hehe.

    Bye-bye pandemic hair
    Hanna R.

    I'm embarrassed to say I have not gone into a hair salon since pre-pandemic. I thought I was being smart by cutting my own hair to save money. That's until the last time I chopped my hair off, it was left uneven no matter how hard I tried to fix it. I guess it didn't help that I have very thick hair, with a mind of its own. After casually searching for a salon for months (that felt like years), I finally got introduced to this place through my Mom, who found out through some of her church fam. It appears they have been regulars at this salon for years. We came in at 12:30pm today (with an appointment) and was seated right away which was nice! I've been to many salons where I would wait despite making an appointment. There were two ladies running the salon and I'm allllmost sure the lady we got referred to is the owner of the salon (I wish I got her name, I'll def get it next time). She was so kind and knew exactly how to get my crazy hair back in line. While she was working her magic on my hair, she freely gave tips on how to blow dry/comb my hair which I appreciated so much! I am so satisfied with this place and thrilled to put an end to my pandemic haircuts.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is my third time coming with Min. I love her and her work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The place is clean and the vibes are amazing. I love my Japanese perm that last me . The before and after is incredible. My hair is shined and healthy even after a good long chemical process. I highly recommend everyone to come here for any service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The other staff is so sweet and everyone offers you food and beverages.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They truly care about you like if you are their friend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sweet people that deserve the world. This business needs to be brought for the world to see. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you Min for perming my hair before I started high school to now for my graduation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love you and your work and cute doggy too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    After cut by Min
    Britney M.

    I made an appointment online to see Min! I wanted to get a straightening treatment to tame my crazy Simba mane lol I have course, frizzy hair lol Min washed my hair and determined that I couldn't do the treatment because I still had old bleach in my hair. So instead of the treatment, we decided to do a haircut to help with the shape. My hair was longer on one side and needed to be evened out. Min did a good job with the cut and made it look a lot better.

    She did SOOOOOO good for my hair! I asked for a lot of layers!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Her dog is so cute and she is so sweet![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm so glad she kept the length of my hair because usually when I ask for layers, my hair gets shorter! But with way layers + styled with curls, my hair is still the same length!

    Always does such a great job with my son's haircut!

    Min is the best! Excellent hairdresser, always a great cut. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend

She looks just like you'd want your hairdresser to look - pretty, stylish and with great hair. I was just getting a trim, but she was so meticulous and asked all the right questions so I would get what I went in for. Sometimes you'll get hairdressers that try to point out the flaws of your last cut, or things that need to be fixed, but Blue was very complimentary and sweet. After she blow dried my hair, I realized I should have asked for more to be trimmed off. I felt so guilty, but she was so kind and immediately offered to trim more. After she was done, it was perfect! This salon feels really clean, modern, and airy - plus it's in a great location. Make sure to ask for Blue, she's the best.

Recently, I wanted to get my hair cut by her again but she gets booked so if you want your hair cut by her, book a good amount in advance!! Instead, I booked with Alice. Her english seems to be a little limited but I didn't mind at all, she was very kind and I just played her a video showing the haircut I wanted. I got a long layered haircut with some curtain bangs, and cost me $130. I only complain a little because I'm broke lol but otherwise I suppose it was worth it, because it's one of the better haircuts I've gotten in my life. Also, my hair was extremely long (butt length) but Alice handled it well and was also able to finish the haircut in about an hour. Would definitely come back in the future to see either alice or stacey! *note: at the time of my haircut (oct 2024) they were no longer working out of their DTF salon! they're now in brea.

    5 Stars for Ashley and her Salon!…read more We've been looking for a salon that could finally give our daughter, Hanalei, the haircut she actually wanted. She's been to several places before, and her reaction was always pretty much... "meh." Funny enough, before we even knew Ashley had a salon, we knew her as our pickleball buddy! We've been playing together for more than six months, and when we finally found out she also cuts and styles hair, we immediately booked with her. My wife even said she had been eyeing Ashley's salon for a while! From the moment we walked in, Ashley made us feel completely at home. She welcomed us with coffee or tea and snacks and if you know Ashley, you know she always goes the extra mile for her friends and clients. From washing Hanalei's hair, thinning and trimming it, to the final styling, Ashley took her time and really listened to what Hanalei wanted. The result was beyond what we expected. The best part was seeing our daughter looking in the mirror, smiling and genuinely HAPPY with her haircut! If you're looking for skill, personalization, attention to detail, and a salon experience that makes you feel right at home, hit Ashley up! Great person, great experience, and most importantly, a very happy daughter! Highly recommended!

My last had been more than 6 years ago, attempting to embrace my wavy-ish hair after years and years of getting magic straight perms. I tried - and I failed. My natural hair is thick, wavy on the inside, half straight-half wavy on the outside, and it just wasn't working for me. Booking an appointment over the phone was easy and I appreciated her upfront pricing and time estimate. My perm plus haircut took about 5 hours total. I was her only client the whole time and felt at home at her studio as she kindly offered me snacks and drinks. Ashley is clearly a pro at what she does, so hospitable, gives the most relaxing hair wash, and I'm so happy with how smooth and silky my hair feels now. Thank you, Ashley!

    Went in for a magic perm + cut since over call she told me it'll be $250. She asked how much length…read morethe cut so I asked for a slight trim but she ended up chopping a large portion of my hair (make sure she cuts the RIGHT length u ask for). The perm procedure took place (slightly different from the traditional, normal straight perm process since she did the neutralizer step while my hair was soaking wet dipped in their washbowl.) She also cut my wet hair while it was still soaking wet immediately after rinsing my hair post the breaking bonds step, instead of blow drying and flat ironing it (other places cuts ur hair while its dry). After she blow dried my hair after the final rinse, she charged me $270, different from the price she gave me at the start of the process saying "haircut itself is like +$30." I won't ever be returning due to this scammy malpractice *** update below: I told her that I prefer English but doesn't mean my Korean sucks which would cause miscommunication in the pricing. I was never communicated in either Korean or English that the price was an estimate, I was given a solid price no range or the word "about" was used during the call. I was never informed before the service that there would be extra steps in the service due to my hair condition - this should have been communicated before so I can decide whether or not I'd be able to pay the extra $20, instead of receiving upcharge price after all those additional "steps & curls" which I never asked for. The curls could have been done with a curling iron myself after the cut + perm, I never asked for permanent curls. I never had a single bad of this experience at any hair salon. I am honestly hoping for a hair undo and refund/my money back if possible
