Ladies, proceed with caution…read more I walked in for a shoulder length haircut with layers. The lady didn't seem to be paying attention, parting my hair in the way I didn't want it and missing an entire section of my hair. She even jabbed my scalp with an electric shaver and left a mark. I stood up after she styled my hair, removed the collar, and said she was done. Then she suddenly told me to sit back down because she forgot something. She had missed the whole back of my neck and went back in to cut it with scissors and a shaver. She left a ton of prickly pieces of hair debris in my jacket from this, and it's sooo uncomfortable when those pieces stab your skin! The next day, the right side of my head felt heavier than the left. I noticed chunks of hair that were blunt and cut unevenly. I think the positive reviews on this salon are mostly for the man and not the woman hairdresser. The men coming into the salon were practically glowing by the time they walked out. I felt like this woman is here because she needs something to do. I tipped out of pity.

Leo speaks Mandarin and almost no English. Which is fine, he used a translator to communicate. I showed him pics and let him know I wanted layers with curtain bands. He suggested more layers and shorter on top for more body and texture since he said I had very thin hair. I forgot to ask the receptionist name! She gave amazing shampoo and head massage! Divine! Also she luckily spoke canto, so if you need help translating from mandarin, she can assist! LEO HAS GREAT TECHNIQUE! And confidence. I let him decide what best suits my face. Great experience, really knows how to work with my thin hair. And his blow dry game is crazy.

He really nailed the layered haircut and gave me good advice. (It's helpful but not necessary to know Chinese before coming here. I just showed lots of reference photos to describe which parts I liked and wanted to my hair style.) My hair was super long and flat before but I actually love the layers and curtain bangs now. I think this cut was super worth and cost $70 for the cut and blowout. I'll definitely be coming back!

It's so difficult to find a hairstylist that knows how to deal with my frizzy, thick, Asian hair…read more Gee at Hair Club 20 is does a pretty good job of cutting, bleaching (balayage, highlights, etc), coloring and styling. He keeps up with trends and let's just say, I can trust him with my hair. There are multiple stylists, so it's not too difficult to get an appointment and I'd say most speak English and mandarin. The vibe is modern, trendy, and clean. Services can be a little pricey depending on the stylist, but you get what you pay for. There is typically parking in the lot and there is plenty of food around as well...

I decided to give this place a try since it's got such amazing reviews. I've been back here a…read morecouple times already. It's definitely got some pro's and cons. Pro's: they definitely know what they're doing! I like that they think about what's best for your hair instead of just taking the money. I originally wanted to get an ombré in a very light shade. Instead of frying my hair they guided me into doing it gradually once I grow the box dye color out. They even did a test and put bleach in a thin chunk of my hair to see how fast it could lighten but it didn't. I had also asked for a textured cut like an inspo photo I showed, and they did an amazing job! I definitely see why they have great reviews. Con's: I took away one star only because each time I've come here with a 10 am appointment which is the first of the day they're already busy. They end up taking way too many clients at the same time so it really makes your appointment go by even slower. The last time I went just for a root touch up I was there from 10 am - 3 pm. They were going between clients so much that it was becoming frustrating just sitting there waiting to get your hair washed for almost one hour. I also took away one star because I feel like paying over a hundred dollars for shoulder length hair root touch up that took 5 hours is a lot. They also don't speak English very fluently so unless you speak their dialect language is definitely a barrier here. It's by appointment only. Would I come back? Highly unlikely because for me the cons outweighed the pros. Also this place is an hour away for me so to make that drive and be this frustrated every time is not worth it. But if you're in the area it's definitely worth checking out if you're in need of color guidance or a great hair cut.

Tell you what, with the price you pay for, you will not regret!! Cindy is a very nice and friendly hair stylist.

It was about 3:30pm when I came in, and no one else was there, which I Iliked since that allowed Ched to take his time with my hair. However, no sooner I did a check in and got into the chair for shampooing, three other women decided to show up and wanting their hair done too, lol! Hahaha, I brought Ched extra business on a slow Friday afternoon ;) Ched gave me a great scalp massage while shampooing my hair. After he applied conditioner, it got slippery and water sprayed all over. Luckily, I I wasn't soaked, and Ched was very apologetic from beginning to end, how sweet! :) Even though 3 women came in, Ched took his time with me, and didn't rush through. He asked me how I wanted my part, and covered up my lil hole on my top crown. He made my curls tight since my hair was baby fine and topped it off with Suave brand gel hairspray. My curls were awesome, and they held nicely throughout my friend's bday party. Best of all, when I came home and brushed it out before showering, it still looked amazing! *Sighs* had to brush it out otherwise, it'll look like a rat's nest in the morning, lol! The wash and curl took no more than 25 mins to do. Cost was $20 (not including tip). My curls were tight and intact with my baby fine hair. I did notice that unlike Drybar, Ched doesn't put mousse in there first, so some parts of curls were crunchy, but thank goodness not fried. However, my curls held up nicely, and so I was happy :) Located in the same plaza as Game Stop, Arby's and 99 Ranch Market in Alhambra. I would definitely come by again for a hair cut or wash and curl again, yay! :)

I've been bringing my sons here for haircuts for years now. The prices are seriously hard to beat…read more-- you can see the full price list posted, and it's stayed reasonable the whole time we've been coming. My sons' stylist always does a solid, no-fuss job, and the shop has that old-school neighborhood barbershop feel. The real bonus, though, is the office dog. He's the sweetest little guy and always makes the visit more fun for my sons -- he even gets his own little booties, which cracks us up every time. It's the kind of small touch that makes a routine haircut feel a little more special.

Without second guessing I booked another dye job 7 months later with a darker inspo. I didn't even think to ask anything, we had a conversation about what I wanted and that was that. I let her work her magic only the magic wasn't all that great. I have a screenshot of my inspo pic and what I ended up with. I have a hard time with confrontation but she missed the mark by so much, disappointed doesn't even come close to how I felt in the moment. I left and later messaged her but I didn't even get a response. I wasn't looking for a refund just for her to take some accountability but I guess even that was too much to ask for. The worst part is I worked so hard to heal my hair, got it cut short to completely remove the damaged parts and now with the horrible bleach job I feel like I've been set back once again. It's frustrating and disappointing. I wouldn't recommend coming here because at this point I couldn't even get some sort of acknowledgement from her.

First time coming to this hair salon and saw Ben. This is an A-OK place. Nothing more nothing less…read more Here is my experience: I walked in right when they opened and there was ben. I showed him what I wanted and he said he can do it. The hair took about for 4/5 hours to complete when he said it will only take 2-3 hours. I'm not 100% happy with the hair because it wasn't the color I wanted however Ben is very knowledgable with hair since he's been doing this for about 18 years. He says that after 5-6weeks my hair will get lighter. It kind of sucks that I paid all this money to get my hair done only to have to wait about 5-6 weeks for it to really show lightness in my hair. Right now it looks more orange than blonde. Ben is extremely talkative as well. I you don't like talking then you'll have to go somewhere else. Ben also handle's hair in a very messy and rough way. He seemed rushed and handled my hair VERY roughly. He kept offering this purple shampoo and an oil that he promises it will make my hair better. I just bought the shampoo because my aunt told me to as for other stuff he offered, I passed because I wasn't down to buy something so quick. He's a super nice guy! But needs to handle women's hair better than just yanking it and flinging it around. My hair was pretty cheap: $150 (hair) + the purple shampoo ($25) + $20 tip = Came out to $195 which is a lot cheaper than other hair salons because they would have charged me $250+ just for the hair alone. I'm pretty happy with this hair but I wish I didn't have to wait so long for my hair to get to the color I want. I'm most likely going somewhere else to get my hair toned so it can be lighter than orange. In the photo it's the hair I wanted v.s. the hair I got from Ben.
