I'm not rating this on my haircut, which was not good.

The guy showed me how much to take off and I agreed, but he took off more, seemed like he was trying to make it even but couldn't. I just gave up and wanted the cut to be over, and figured I'll go somewhere else to have it fixed later. What I'm basing this rating on is the fact that he showed me a number on the calculator when I asked how much, and I said "OK", then he charged me $10 more. When I asked why? He just handed me $10 in cash. WHAT? I mean, there might be a language barrier for the haircut - maybe he thought I wanted my hair to be in all different lengths for some reason I can't fathom, but punching different numbers into a calculator vs the credit card machine just isn't about communication. Then he called out to a woman and she came and said "tip?" and I said ok, then she said "$10". Um, no, that's not how tips work. You don't charge someone more than agreed, then when you're caught, pretend that it was for a $10 tip that you didn't agree to. The thing is, I normally tip more, and usually in cash, but the whole interaction took me so much by surprise that I just left. The only thing positive I can say is that there were 2 men who came in while I was getting my hair cut, both got short buzz cuts, and they are definitely quick. So maybe if you're looking for something like that and you have exact change to pay exactly what you want to including tip, this could be a good place. Next cut, I won't just duck in someplace to get a quick trim.

I ended up coming back to Fashion Line later that week anyways to get my hair fixed. I later again made the mistake of getting my hair cut at the same place I get it colored -- also a mistake. Went right back here to get it fixed. Amy Li, Amy Huang, and Kate are super sweet. Attention to detail, eye for symmetry, very decent prices :) My hair is blonde, damaged from bleaching, and goes down to my mid back and I'm quoted $35 for shampoo + cut. I ask them to cut off my split ends and clean up my layers, and I leave looking like my hair isn't, in fact, straw. Most of the staff do not speak English so I'd recommend having Google Translate or a Chinese-speaking friend on hand, but I've seen other clients do just fine in English. I'm a second gen Chinese-American with limited Mandarin-speaking capability but I'm always able to get by with Chinglish. Good to bring reference photos if your Chinese isn't great!! I'd recommend calling ahead to avoid long wait times but I've never been turned away walking in.

Background: My mom visited the Moon Salon in earlier this year in June 2019 to get her hair done in…read morepreparation for my younger brother's middle school graduation that took place a few days after. This review is in her words, translated to English and posted on my Yelp account because she does not have one. This review is for a hair treatment my mom went to Moon Salon for and not a review on a hair cut. My mom wanted to get her hair permanently straightened, as she's been getting this done for years at various other salons whenever her hair has grown out. She's driven past this salon on several occasions and wanted to try the place out. She did not make an appointment prior to coming in but was the only customer there and Moon helped her with her hair needs. Moon placed the straightening treatment on my mom's hair and placed her under the heat dryer chair. Moon set the timer for 45 minutes then that's when other customers started coming in. There were 2 or 3 other customers and she was helping them with their hair needs when the timer she had set for my mom went off. Moon came to reset the timer for another time and proceeded to help these other customers. When she was finally done with these 2 or 3 customers, she returned back to check on my mom. Keep in mind, the time that has passed was 45 minutes and then some. She took my mom to rinse off then blow dried her hair and flat ironed it before sending my mom off home. During this process of washing off and styling, my mom felt mild pain but did not think anything of it, thinking it was a side effect of the treatment. When my mom got home, she combed her hair and noticed a lot of hair falling off. She then started patting the top of her head and it felt incredibly prickly to the touch. The next day my mom went back to the salon to talk with Moon and let her know that her hair was falling off and burnt to a crisp. Moon, at first denied any part, saying my mom's curly hair was the reason. This is far from the truth as we are Asian women with normal, straight hair. Moon did not want to return my mom's money so she gave my mom an oil treatment but to everyone's disappointment, that didn't help. With nothing else left to do, my mom returned home with her crispy hair. My mother just wanted pin straight hair and ended up with her hair being burnt off. A lot of her hair broke off and in some places, she had bald spots. Where her hair parted, a lot of hair missing as well. In short, she fried my mom's hair off to the point that it all frizzled, sizzled, and broke off. 2 months later, the hair that's fallen off has started to grow back and it is evident as it sticks out like cow licks. I am saddened to this happened to my mom as it was the mistake on Moon's part to leave her in the hair dryer for longer than needed just so Moon could work on other people's hairs. My mother wanted me to write this to let others know to be aware when coming to Moon's salon for hair treatments. She did, however, say that Moon cuts hair beautifully -- her hair treatment services are what others should be wary of. Photos will be posted along with this review so that those searching for a salon has all the information when taking this salon into consideration.

Unfortunately, my haircut turned out horrible and I was lucky to come out of the salon without being burned. I was charged $22 + tips for a haircut, no wash, a regular cut, nothing fancy, no bangs, no layers, just a regular women's haircut. I went home to wash my hair and my ends looked unfinished. Moon (the owner) cut my hair, nothing special about the cut, it was rushed, fast, and sloppy. Not sorry for the bad review because she could of burn me in the face with the hair straighter and apologize pretending it was an accident when that shouldn't happen if she was being careful. Neighborhood is sketchy and thinking about the nasty scar I could of gotten from this place, all not worth giving this salon a try again.

I went to GlamSity to get a sew in as part of a Mayvenn hair promotion. I was paired up with…read moreMonique who was exceptionally kind and responsive with setting an appointment. The problem I had was the job she did on my hair. The braids were extremely loose and not laid down correctly. The technique she used to braid my hair didn't have a pattern and looked and felt like she just sewed the braid to one side of my head. Yes one side. This caused the weave to look super lumpy and crooked. Although I didnt pay for this sew in because it promotion from Mayvenn hair where if you buy 3 bundles you get to get paired with a hairstylist to do a sew in, I feel as though the company should closely choose their stylist because the job i received wasn't from someone who had 7+ years in braiding experience. It was terrible and had to take it out the next day. She also didn't leave enough hair out around the crown of my head so the tracks were extremely visible aside from my whole head looking lumpy. I would never go back even if it was free a second time. Let alone pay 250$ which is Monique's sew in price.
