    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

    I came back again today and I really like my haircut. Joanna did a very good job and I definitely will come back again! I come to this store every month!

Tell you what, with the price you pay for, you will not regret!! Cindy is a very nice and friendly hair stylist. She spent a lot of time cutting my hair and trimming it again the next day to make sure that I'm satisfied with my hairstyle. She was very detailed oriented and would recommend hairstyle or length based on my face shape, and her previous experiences. My husband is not a big fan of short hairs, but he said he likes it. ;) By the way, she is by appointments only. Make sure you call her for your appointment first.

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! :)

Definitely recommend this place -- one small thing: you may have to wait a while, even with appointment.

    So many red flags…read more If you have fine virgin hair, I strongly recommend avoiding a digital perm at this salon. My hair was past my waistline when I arrived. The stylist insisted it was far too long and said a significant cut was necessary. I trusted her professional judgment, expecting a healthy trim, but nearly half my hair was cut off. The haircut itself felt rushed and uneven, seemingly done to accommodate the perm rather than with care for overall shape or length. Midway through my appointment, a previous client returned visibly upset, saying her hair did not look permed. While I didn't hear every detail, it immediately raised concerns, concerns that ultimately became my own. Throughout the service, my stylist repeatedly emphasized that my hair was "too fine," that there weren't enough curlers for my hair, and that more hair needed to be cut. If she believed a digital perm would not work on my hair type, she should have been honest from the start and declined the service. The end result: my hair feels fried, is significantly shorter than expected, and shows no real signs of a perm. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this salon. Additional notes: * The smell of cigarettes from the staff smoking heavily fills the salon. I left with a headache, and the combination of cigarette smoke and perm chemicals was overwhelming. * Stylists spoke aggressively in another language, appearing to argue about my service, which felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. * If you discovered this salon through TikTok and were impressed by how attentive they appeared (offering water, snacks, etc.), be aware that this level of service is not consistent. Unless you appear to be a social media personality. Paying over $400 plus tip for this experience was deeply disappointing.
