    I am a bit disappointed with my experience with Carl today. My appointment was at 12:40, but he was still finishing with his previous client until around 12:53. Honestly, I don't mind waiting because I could see he was being very detailed and careful with that client's hair. However, my experience felt very different. When he asked what I wanted, I explained that I wanted a mullet style -- keeping the back long, cleaning up the sides, and trimming just a little on top. Unfortunately, he ended up cutting the back shorter than I wanted, and it seemed like there may have been some misunderstanding about the style. I didn't say much at that point because the hair had already been cut. I also mentioned that the left side looked uneven or a little too short to me, but he responded that there was "too much hair." I've honestly never had a hairstylist say that before, and I personally didn't feel like my hair was overly thick on the sides. Another client arrived during my appointment, and after that, the haircut started to feel rushed. My hair wasn't washed afterward, and the styling product was applied a bit messily. What upset me most wasn't even the haircut itself -- hair grows back -- but more the feeling of being rushed compared to the attention given to the previous client. I've been to B SIDE U twice before with JJ, and I've always had a great experience with him. He was thorough, never rushed, and always made sure everything was done properly, including washing my hair after the cut. Because of today's experience, I would personally rate my experience with JJ 10/10, but today's appointment with Carl would be closer to 4/10.

    It's was an amazing haircut! I came in without knowing what I wanted, but Joanna had great suggestions for me. I got the layered hairstyle and it worked perfect. My friends and colleagues liked it very much too. This new hairstyle has lifted my mood every day. Absolutely recommended. And I love how passionate Joanna is about hairstyling. It's rare to find people who are indeed talented and enthusiastic about their jobs

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!

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.

    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.

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'm so glad I found TT Hair Salon. I'd been wanting to do something different with my virgin hair,…read moreand after deciding on a digital perm, finding the right salon was really important to me. Booking online was super easy. You can choose the service, hairstylist, and see their earliest available appointments. I decided to just go with any available stylist and was booked with Tony. I was hoping for the best, and he gave me exactly the waves I was looking for. The process was about 5 hours, but honestly, I love waking up with effortless beach waves every day, so it was worth it! Several people helped with washing and styling throughout the appointment, and everyone was so kind and welcoming. They even offer snacks and water during the service, which I thought was such a nice touch. The owner, who is also a stylist, was really nice as well. Plus, there's a huge free parking lot, which made the whole experience even more convenient. I'll definitely be recommending TT Hair Salon to all my friends, and to you reading this

    Tldr: Don't get your hair done by TONY…read more I got my digital perm done about a week ago have been debating whether or not to write a review. However, this whole appointment and the end result was too unpleasant for me to ignore. Tony was the one who did my perm and Tony was unprofessional. Please avoid having Tony do your hair. To start, Tony showed up to the appointment 15 minutes late (and his coworker was telling him his 11 o'clock was there) and then seemed very disinterested in trying to get the service started. Then, after briefly glancing at my reference photo and finding his own- Tony told me that my hair needed to go shorter and proceeded to give the most careless haircut ever. Total hack job. During the perm, Tony rolled each hair extremely tight that he even had to pause to massage his hands. The overly tight rolls bruised my scalp and Tony was so careless with placing the spacers between the rollers and scalp that I actually was tearing up because the pain was so unbearable. And even though I mentioned that it hurt Tony lowkey just ignored it?? To top it off- Tony ran out of rollers HALFWAY throughout the process so I had to wait with the crazy tight rollers for around 30 minutes (I am not exaggerating). And Tony's not the one that informed me about it- Tony's nice coworkers were the ones that continued to check in and keep me updated. Also, the whole salon had 3 digital perms going on (including mine) and they kept grabbing the rollers coming off from another client and directly using it on my hair. I don't know if that's normal but I thought every tool was supposed to be disinfected prior to using it on another client. If the digital perm turned out the way I wanted- I would not be so upset but the curls were MUCH MUCH tighter than I asked for. But mostly the experience sucked. And it sucks because I had come here previously for a regular perm and had such a great experience that I trusted the salon for another appointment. I will not be visiting this salon again. (And clearly I am very upset towards TONY for messing up my hair and being totally incompetent throughout the whole appointment. Also, maybe you wouldn't lose YOUR VAPE IN THE BIN OF DIGITAL HAIR ROLLERS if you weren't too busy vaping while doing your client's hair.)
