I came here to get my son a perm to add texture to his stubbornly straight hair. It's a cute little studio. There's one main lady and an assistant. The lady was quick with getting the perm rods in, probably less than 20 minutes, and the rest was just pretty much waiting for his hair to process. Overall, it took less than 2 hours. Keep in mind that this is on a non-peak hour on a Monday, though. The lady gave him a bit of a trim and a style. Both my son and I loved how it came out. read more

Still going to Jin, still loving it! Excellent quality haircut and just so fast. She makes cutting with a straight razor seem so easy but I know it's because she's such a pro. Perfect long layers every time, thanks Jin! read more

Come here to get perms and haircuts. Call ahead to make an appointment. I always love how the perm turns out. Jin is very friendly along with her assistant. The salon is kept very clean and has a nice comfortable couch when you are waiting to let the chemicals sit in to your hair. I have got wavy perms here along with more tighter curls and both turn out great. If you are thinking of getting a perm, I would highly recommend. read more

1st Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

Once you see and experience this place you will never want to go anywhere else. This is what happened to me and here is what makes it difficult. I live in Northern California. 7 hours away! Yesterday I had a straight perm. This takes about 21/2 hours. While there I was able to witness a true creative professional at work. She cut and styled 5 different people both men and women. Very very cool and different styles for everyone. She and her assistant work well together. They have it down. She could easily double her prices. Another thing is I get compliments on my hair all the time. read more

The owner is very nice. She is also a good hair stylist. She does her best to do what you ask but also might suggest too. One man operation with assistant sometimes. She tries to not have customer wait too long I usually have a haircut and color and always happy with result Shop is very clean read more

I had the BEST digital perm and haircut ever. Jinnie is the best. I went to her 5 years ago for a digital perm and she never disappoints. The sweetest woman and tons of experience! I told her I wanted my curls to come back from when I was a kid, showed her pictures of what they used to look like and she did exactly that! I LOVE my hair again now and am so grateful for her! read more

Highly recommend. Very kind and professional woman. Definitely going back for more of my hair care needs. read more

Considering it's covid season, and the condition that my stylist had to work under, I'd say I got an excellent cut. It was a bit windy while we were outside. So, I was a bit worried that it might affect my haircut. However, my hair came out beautifully. The stylist took her time in cutting my hair and made sure everything came out evenly. Also, the best part was that she was wearing a legit N95 mask which made me really happy. That was the main thing I was worried about when I decided to take a gamble and go for a cut. Any kind of mask is great and all. But, when you wear an N95, you mean business. So, if you're looking to have a cut, don't hesitate to go here. You're getting quality work AND they're definitely serious about keeping themselves and their clients safe. Just a heads up, they're taking cash only and you need to come in with already washed hair. Since, they don't offer shampoo service. read more

1st Hair Studio - Beautiful layers - Hair Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

I have been going to Jin since I was 15 years old (26 now) and have not let anybody touch my hair since! Jin is very professional and amazing at what she does. read more

She went fast with male haircut, the first week I thought it looked really short I had to wear a cap, after that the hair grows back with a nice shape read more

My first hair cut for 2021. Decided to go to this salon for a haircut because it had good reviews but they messed up my hair. Went in to get my hair trimmed. I have it in layers that I wanted to keep and it looks like this. Uneven and weird. Got it cut one week ago today. Didn't notice it was uneven because I my hair is wavy but once I straightened it I was sad to see this. Paid $35 for this. I only got a cut. The girl ahead of me had her hair washed, cut and styled for $40. So for $5 more they wash and style your hair? Price didn't make sense to me. read more

Jin and her staff are friendly, fast, efficient and she always gives me great haircuts!! I am half Asian and find it harder than you would think to find someone who knows how to cut and style Asian hair. Last weekend Jin curled my hair for my graduation- it only took her 20 min. with a curling iron but she got my hair to hold the bounciest curls I've ever had! I got so many compliments on it. Parking and location are also good. Just remember she is cash only. read more

Have to wear masks but wow, shampoo + conditioner, cut + dry was practically complete in about 30 mins! Jin Hee asked for photos, but she is so professional she didn't need any. Requested a haircut with layers and bangs (for my straight thin hair). Blow-dried hair and finished off with a heated comb. Thank you! p.s. Cash preferred read more

My hair was feeling a little dry from all the sun exposure I was putting it through, and I called this morning to see if I could get a haircut before a wedding I was attending tomorrow. Jin Hee picked up and squeezed me in for an afternoon appointment the same day which was so lucky. The store is located in a little strip mall area with shared parking. I was given a nice wash with a good head massage, and she gave me a long layered cut. She applied a serum and blow dried my hair with her attendant, and used a straightening brush to add a bit more shine and curl at the end. My hair feels really nice and healthy and Jin Hee is a very sweet lady and she has very reasonable prices. read more

Let Jin~Hee cut your kids hair for only $20 you get a beautiful cut, wash & blow dry! You can't beat that! Best days to go is mid week, because on weekends she's totally back to back customers.

I either get perfect curled or flat ironed on date nights or special occasions. Check out my pics! read more

I had my haircut finally today after waiting so long due to Covid 19. First visit to 1st Hair Studio. The owner/stylist was very kind and did a great job with my long overdue cut. Nice layers and cute style. I am glad that I found this place. Strongly recommend. read more

1st Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

I had a good experience here. The haircut was quick and exactly like what I asked for. The lady was very friendly

I've gone to this studio a couple of times already for the magic straight perm. I highly recommend making an appointment first instead of walk-ins (esp because a perm takes a few hours). Jin is very friendly and has a great sense of style when it comes to haircuts so that it will compliment your face. Price is pretty reasonable. Plenty of parking as well read more

Been here a couple times for a quick trim. The ladies cutting my hair are always nice and quick about it, which I appreciate. Price is great too. read more

Decided to try out this salon after someone on a neighborhood website recommended her. The owner is pleasant enough,and tries to give you the haircut according to what you are looking for. However, both times I came in, she ended up cutting off much more than I was looking for. It'll grow back, but I was not looking for it to be so short. (seemed like more than 1 inch, as I had asked just for a trim). She seemed not to listen to my sayiing I wanted to keep the length. Also, no air conditioning or fans. . seriously, making your customers sweat while they wait? Prices are reasonable for a wash, cut , and style but probably will be going back to my previous hairstylist at Beauty 21. read more

Absolutely great service and very gentle. Came in for a perm and was able to get exactly what I wanted. Will def come here again.

On time for appointment. Fast and great customer service! Would come back again because she's so experienced and knows how to cater to her clients. read more

I have a lot of hair and appreciated that the stylist took her time to cut and style it. She charged me what she said she was gonna charge and cut my hair exactly the way I wanted it. I know it's not easy to cut my hair, specially when they are busy so I appreciated the job well done. The helper was kind and dedicated, too. read more

I have been patronizing this salon on and off for years. No matter how i look when i walk in, i walk out with 200% better hair. Even a "trim" was a big improvement. June knows what to do. You can't go wrong here. Definitely worth a visit!! read more

Came in as a walk-in, just needed a wash and cut! They did wonderful and i will definitely be back. Thank you for such a sweet and fresh haircut! read more

I have been coming here for about a year now, and they never disappoint. The price is reasonable and you get a wash, cut, and dry for $35. The owner is honest and is passionate about her job and she always have a smile on her face. I reside in San Francisco now but I still come back to get my hair cuts. It is hard to find a hairdresser that is compatible and inexpensive, so I will definitely be back for my next cut. read more

It's been awhile with this haircut. I noticed without curling the ends of my hair, my hair is definitely uneven! I asked for layers but now I realized its unsymmetrical and not properly layered. :( so sad read more

I've been coming here about twice a year and my hair always looks and feels great. I don't do much to my hair just the occasional trim and layers and I've never been disappointed. She always asks what I want and the length that I want it before she starts. Thank you so much :) read more

Hair style is important but finding the right hair stylist is more important for me as it is for most of us! And thank goodness I've found the 1st Hair Studio and decided to give it a try! This hair salon is operated by the owner, Jin-Hee, with her assistant. They were both very kind and friendly when receiving my call for an appointment. The service was lot faster than I had expected and her skills were far greater than my expectations. Because most places when I ask them to cut my hair (as shown on my photo I had attached), they'll usually take up to 30~40 minutes and charge me well over $30 + tip... However, Jin Hee literally took about 10 minutes cutting my hair with 5 minutes of wash/dry; and the best part, it didn't cost me $30+ for men's haircut! I'm sure everyone is different and this place might not be for everyone, but I am one extremely satisfied customer with my simple hair style! I'm definitely coming back here for more! read more

1st Hair Studio - Literally, it took less than 15 minutes for my haircut! - Hair Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

Lately, I've been so busy I hardly have time to breath much less go out of my way to get a hair cut. I found 1st Hair Studios on Yelp and decided to give it a try since they are on my way home from work. Yes, I chopped off my hair, back to the clean cut boy that mommy loves! Marlon E. you are on your own now. Next time? Did she do a good job? I think so. You tell me next time I see you at a Yelp Event! read more

I went here for the first time today seeing all the positive reviews. It's very hard to find a good stylist for Asian male hair, and I can safely say that I will be going here now! Usually I have a hard time getting my hair styled since I like to have bangs. It's a small and cozy salon, and the staff is very kind and hospitable. read more

I desperately needed a haircut and after reading these reviews I decided to give it a go. Easy to find, free strip mall parking, plus safe covid preventative measures (including temperature taking and contact tracing) made it a breeze. At 12 noon on a Tuesday I was the only customer so I was spoiled! It was my first shampoo since covid (yay, no more turning up with wet pre washed hair) and it was soooo good with a little scalp and neck massage included. The shampooist was very friendly and chatty and was the perfect foil for the hairdresser who was quietly cutting my hair. My asymmetric bob was a dry tangled mess when I arrived, but I left with a sleek shiny level layered one that I could style on either side. My thin fine hair was nicely stacked at the back with a razor cut followed by scissoring which created volume. I really appreciate the hairdresser checking with me about length, layers and my preferences before cutting, which hasn't been the case with previous hairdressers I've visited. The blow dry with fingers only really created a lot of volume at my roots too. I paid $35 and tips in cash. I wasnt there very long but my cut is excellent and I am very happy with the service and especially the price. read more

I came to Jin for japanese hair straightening. My hair is in bad condition due to a bad digital perm experience. But Jin is able to rescue my hair and gave an excellent haircut. Her staff are very nice and professional. My hair is straight and smooth. I strongly recommand this salon. read more

The lady here that cuts my hair is really amazing. I have been going to her since I moved here in south bay in 2019. I usually get a cut every 6 months. She just knows my style without elaborating too much to her. She is very precise with her work. She is very friendly and caring. She really cares about her customers. The place is affordable. She washes my hair, cuts it, and style it in the end. I've always been satisfied and happy with the cut she gave me. I will be going to her for future services like color, perm, rebonding, etc. I'm just happy to have found an amazing hair stylist. read more

I can't praise JinHee enough...from the first day she cuts my hair till 2 years after it grows out my hair looks and feel fantastic. She uses a razor on my hair for the mass amount of hair, and thins it out with lots of layers. I leave the hair salon NOT looking like my hair was just cut. I hate the just cut look where the scissors make a noticeable mark on the hair follicles. This is something I've experienced at salons that charge $70+. After a year or two of no maintenance trims it grows out still looking pretty (sometimes even better). See pic below of my hair the day after I visited her at the salon. It was washed with no blow out or styling.. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/3U2qAbPv3C90G3rCAGBEwg?select=MAsNyXfwkF-QgWu989jx3w#HMZrEo65l2J84AOk3KWvFg I suggest calling to make an appointment and bringing lots of pictures from different angles of what hair you want. It doesn't matter if you don't know korean because I explain what I want in english to her, and she still does a near-perfect job. She's also really good with coloring and cutting mens hair. She does a perfect job on my brother. I believe mens cuts are $20 and womens are $25. read more

Been going for months now and they still make me so happy! Jin always knows what I want and she gets it down fast, efficient, and with a smile :) And today I met Lana! (Idk how to spell her name sorry!) She gave me the most amazing hair wash I've ever got! I forgot where I was for a second! Haha! Definitely hoping to have her again! read more

All who work there are absolute sweethearts! I had my hair styled... but it was raining and I was without an umbrella. I was ready to live with my life decisions but Jin Hee walked me to my car holding an umbrella over my newly styled hair... I think I considered marriage at that moment. Incredible people & I always love my cut! read more
