had a great experience at 18 Salon. Mei did my hair and Rain did my nails, and I'm very happy with both services. Mei did an amazing job on my hair and really listened to what I wanted. Rain is very careful and gentle when doing nails. She takes her time, pays attention to detail, and I really appreciated that she did not hurt me at all. I also want to mention Endra, who was very nice and professional. I was accidentally overcharged $25, but they called me, explained the mistake, and apologized. Endra communicated with me about the overcharge and was very apologetic. I really appreciated their honesty and the way they handled it right away. Overall, I had a very positive experience. Great service, honest staff, and I would definitely come back. God bless you all, ladies. read more

I have been with Pam for 23 years and she never disappoints! She does excellent red highlights and best bob cuts. The rest of the staff makes good haircuts and nail salon team are all very accommodating and nice. No wonder they are full of clients all the time. Highly recommend! Love them all! read more

**DO NOT GO HERE!!!** I wanted to try this place because my regular hairdresser went out of business and this was by far the WORST haircut I've had in my life. $40 WASTED. Good thing hair grows back because what the heck is this?! Auntie you did me dirty. read more

This hair salon will say that walk-ins are welcome. Not true! The owner will check you in but you will wait for hours (as in HOURS) for a service that apparently they don't have (like hair rebonding) or they don't 'normally' do, yet the service is presented on their wall of list of services. There's a huge communication barrier. This place is also overpriced, you'll get charge for a so-so haircut, hair color or any other hair services. Typically, there's a salon credential of the hairstylist being posted on the wall but for this place there's none. This simply indicates that the workers aren't qualify enough to handle hair salon services. So unprofessional! read more

They ruined my hair when I requested to lighten it. I showed the lady the picture and told me it might not get as light as the picture. I said, "ok". She started dying my hair and it took 5 hours. When she was done my hair was very dry, easily tangled and brittle. My hair is very shiny and oily. They gave me a free leave in conditioner but it didn't help that much. A few days later, they called and left a voicemail asking me to come back. I decided never to come back to this place again. It was also a lot more expensive than the other place I used to go to. read more

Got my hair done by (I believe her name is) Endra. She did an amazing job the price was more affordable compared to other places I've been to. She gave me exactly what I wanted. I wish i came here first when I decided to start dyeing my hair. I highly recommend booking an appointment because if you come in as a walk-in prepare to wait. read more

I have been coming here for years now and they do a great job every time. I originally went to a few different Korean salons and they just weren't consistent and wasn't my style. Not sure how my mom found this place but she was the one who told me to try it out so I did. Her go to lady is Tanya and this business is all run by Thai women. They're great! Ever since I got my first cut from her, I have not changed since. She perfects it every time and takes the time to make sure my hair looks great and even on both sides. I have been getting a short, A-line cut for years now and don't plan on changing that. We went recently this last Saturday to get a cut since we were both due and in need of one but Tanya wasn't there! We usually call ahead of time to book a time with her but lately they've been so busy and taking walk-ins so there isn't a point in booking a time. So we decided to just show up and she wasn't there. Luckily, the owner of this place, Pam, was free since one of her clients cancelled their appointment. I decided to just go with it since I needed one anyway. She did such an amazing job and so quickly too! She went above and beyond to even blow drying it and styling it to make it look super cute. I was very happy and now know that I can probably ask any of them and they can get the job done. They're all super nice and very friendly as well. Love this place! IG: @ammysalamii read more

I went to get my hair cut from Alex who cuts my mom's hair when I went down to visit my parents. I asked for a Bob, shorter in the back and longer in the front, thinned out. My hair is super thick and is quite coarse, so it's not easy to cut. Alex cut my hair carefully, and it came out great. It took about an hour. The rest of the salon was also busy with tons of walk-ins. read more

I came to have my haircut with Alec and she has so far been the best hands down. She is precise with her work and knows what I want. Thank you and you will be the only hairdresser I will be going to read more

I have been coming for a manicure and pedicure and I have to say Rain does such a good job for me! I normally don't do either service because i have been roughed up by nail salons that are in a hurry and end up cutting skin and painful nicks while working. Rain takes her time and has a very gentle manner so i can relax and sit back. Few things feel as good as getting my nails cleaned up and being able to relax. Very friendly people for haircuts as well. Highly recommend. read more

Very bad service. Pam I believe the lady's name, she acts like she is doing favors by cutting my son's hair. I don't know why is she working if she CAN'T. Seems like she is struggling every time she takes the customer. She hurts my son every time cuts his hair. Don't go to Pam especially closing time. read more

I asked for this and this is what I got. The old lady with glasses is THE WORST. The layers are too much compared to what I asked for...she kept going with the layers (I guess she couldn't make it even) after I have said "it's too layered." The layers are so uneven. Towards the end of the cut, she left out a piece of hair and she just cut it without looking if it was even or not. When I got home she left out two pieces of hair. I would still go back to this place. Everyone else is good except her. BEWARE: old lady with glasses read more

Aside from waiting for a long time,the service I received was great! The shop owner did my haircut and roots touch up,and I loved it! She is very accommodating and thorough. And for the price,she did not disappoint. Highly recommended. read more

Thank you for the nice hair cut. You guys are amazing. And also my hair stylist Alex.

No frills, no fuss. As a guy I just want a quick, cheap haircut. $23 for a cut and a wash. Came in with no reservation so 3 people were ahead of me. Left to get lunch and came back with np. read more

I want to give a -0 rating. This place is a hit or miss! I wonder if the hair dresser and manicurists are licensed? I'm not sure if the one who cut and color my hair is licensed. My husband is sure he smelled alcohol breath when he got a haircut. The city should do an inspection. Come at your own risk or if you don't mind whatever service you get. read more

I am replying to the 'Erika' lady that rated one star. I was a witness in the salon and the worker was actually very polite to her. Firstly, this salon goes by appointment. They will take walk-ins if they can. The lady walked in and the worker told her to come back at 11:05. She then showed up at 11:30 and (since the salon goes by appointment) there was no room to fit the family in. Secondly, the lady's boy was actually being a brat, crying and screaming "I DONT WANT A HAIRCUT" the whole time they were in the store. The worker was very polite, apologized, and suggested to the family that: because they had to prioritize their appointments, and because she was late, they go to the salon in the neighboring plaza. My last point in this review is that the lady asked for the workers' name and when the worker refused, the lady then took a picture WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM THE WORKER ON A PRIVATE PROPERTY and proceeded to write a false review. As far as I know, this lady should be sued for her actions. So that is why I am writing this review. They were all very friendly and accommodating. You have a returning customer on your hands. Thank you for the stellar haircut BTW read more

These are always nice people and give me good service. Setting up an appointment or at least a heads up that you are coming by makes it a lot easier. read more

I'm writing this letter as a reply to Chris S. Since you've stated that you'd witnessed the incident, I hope you are well aware of how the worker responded to my complaint. As a mother of a son who has autism, I let my emotions get the best of me when she called my son a brat. First of all, I was apologetic because I know that not a lot of people understand my son, especially that he has a disability that most people are not aware of. Regarding the appointment matter, I understand that we were accepted as a walk-in customer, and I was thankful for it. My 5 year old son isn't able to speak in full sentences and express himself, which is why he resorts to crying, as a form of communication. I'm well aware that my son's crying could be interpreted as a tantrum, which is why I understand that the service could be interrupted and rescheduled. But when I asked when we could come back, the lady responded in a rude manner, saying "No more" with a high pitched voice. She also stated that "initially we accepted you but your son kept crying, so no more." This response didn't sit well with me. I felt that my son was discriminated against, that's why I asked for the worker's name to complain about her manner. I didn't feel that I was being treated as a customer and as a human being, deserving of respect. This made me react in a defensive way, and I acknowledged that. Lastly, this platform should be a transparent page to let future customers know what to expect. If one of your workers does not have enough knowledge on how to treat the customer properly, especially the lady who screamed at me and my son, I suggest that the management should conduct proper customer service training, and how to respond to children with disabilities when they act a certain way. I'm deeply hurt that my son was called a brat because nobody but me understands what he's going through. I'm sorry for how my son reacted, but I'm not sorry for fighting when I felt that my son was being attacked because I'm a dedicated and strong mother who is capable of protecting my son. read more

They totally ruined my hair cut. Think twice before going there. I asked not to have a bob hair cut when he asked me if I wanted a bob hair cut. I told him shoulder length and he cut the back to the top of my neck and gave me the bob cut that I asked not to have. I will never return to this salon. read more

I LOVE PAT! She's the best. Been doing my hair since I literally can remember. And she's super sweet. I highly recommend you come here for Pat if nothing else! She's been doing hair for 30 + years! read more

Pam takes care of my hair for 17 years and she styles my hair the way I wanted it and dyes my hair with red highlights that nobody could. I have been going to other salons but 18 Salon gives excellent and kind service to their customers. They even offer coffee or tea to the customers for free which other salons don't offer. All of the 18 Salon hairstylists are friendly and gives you the hairstyle you wanted with the right price. I have been getting good compliments of my hairstyle from my family, friends, co- workers and strangers I meet. For 17 years, their service never change including their nail salon too who treats their customers with excellent service. Call for reservation to avoid the long wait. I love Pam and the rest of their staff sooo much! If you want to give yourself a treat and pamper yourself ,check out 18 Salon because you deserve it!! read more

I highly recommend this place they are very nice and professional. I was looking for a good beauty salon for my mom because she doesn't like the other hair stylist that did her hair in the past.We went to the Filipino store last week and i saw this beauty salon in the corner so my mom said why not give a try.We went there walk in and it's around lunch time and most of the employees are on their lunch break but we said we will wait and after 2 minutes Jack came back from his lunch and did my mom's hair.My mom doesn't speak very good English but she's able to point out the type of hair cut she wants because Jack showed her pictures.My mom was very happy with her hair and she will be a regular customer from now on read more

I would give no stars if I had the option. The owner was rude to my mother who wanted to give constructive criticism so then they can give better service to their future clients. She not only acted very defensive and refused to listen, she also screamed at my mother and attempted to assault her in front of her employees and clients. She made out the situation to be all about the money when it wasn't the case, however she returned our $25 but threw the dollar bills. The owner also called my mother a bitch, screamed out "fuck you" and "Never come here again" when she was on her way out of the salon. This shows that this business' management is very poor, and the owner does not know how to handle customer service at all. She has a horrible attitude and If she is comfortable about yelling at her clients, I'm very worried about her employees being mistreated. I am not okay with the idea that I may had supported a business that fosters a toxic workplace. The service was awful in my experience. When I asked for a wash, trim and flat iron, all I got was a quick spray and trim (not even a blow dry afterwards). My appointment was not respected as I had to wait 20 minutes for my turn and the hair stylist rushed to get my hair cut. I had to go back home and style my hair on my own, and I was annoyed that my money and time was wasted. It was important for me to have my hair styled the day prior to my university graduation, and I felt that my time and feelings were not considered at all. I know for a fact it was not a language barrier problem. When scheduling a week ahead for my appointment, I explained what I wanted for my hair, and I explained again on the day of my appointment. I believe the service was given out of pure laziness and the need to close the salon as soon as possible (it was on a Sunday). If timing was a problem for them, they could've easily recommended scheduling my appointment at 4 pm rather 5. I was under the impression that my space would be reserved for that whole hour. By the other reviews of this salon, I am glad we're not the only ones who has had a bad experience. It is too bad that four years later, after a review similar to mine, nothing has changed. It is very disappointing that the previous review did not drive the motivation for this salon's management to make any positive changes. It's only by a miracle this salon is still thriving. In other locations, this business would've shut down for their horrible service and atrocious owner. If anyone else experienced mistreatment by the owner, feel free to speak up and stand up for yourself. No one should ever be yelled at, be called names and be hit by her. This behavior is unacceptable, and having this business around is a shame and an enormous embarrassment to our Filipino community. I refuse to remain silent about this situation and let the owner's behavior continue without any consequences. Others in the community need to know an awful person who runs this salon has no manners nor good business skills. I highly recommend that you do not give your time or money to this salon, this enables the owner to feel comfortable in her position, and to go on with her nasty attitude. I am deeply disgusted by how the situation was handled. If it were handled properly and with a positive attitude, my family would've come again in the near future. The owner's actions were repulsive, and it speaks loudly on her poor character. We will never visit 18 Salon after this experience. read more

If I could give this place a negative zero i would. Ever since Jimmy left this place is no longer a goldmine. When Jimmys (Started his own a mile north from this location) shop was closed when he was on vacation i came here thinking it can't be bad, this is where Jimmy came from. I thought wrong. Whoever it was didn't do anything I asked her to do. Strike one. I left unhappy but I'm a nice guy. I went back again and same crap different barber. read more

Bad service, I have to wait 1 hour and 30mins but they have "appointments" and the lady pick other person that went before me.

Ask for Jimmy. He is the only guy who cuts hair in this salon. He has light hands and hes very good at his craft. Seriously. Show him a photo of the haircut/hairstyle you want and he makes it happen. They do get busy, so an appointment is always recommended. read more
