Christy has helped me maintain my hairs strength and health through helpful tips to follow at home and making sure I work with her to get protein treatments. I decided to return to my natural hair color recently and was concerned on how it would look not fully grown out. Christy did an amazing job on matching my natural hair color. She provides great service and always considers the clients input. Thanks again!

She recently did my haircut and gave me a cut I didn't even realize I wanted , but now I'm hooked and plan to keep this style . Her cuts are worth every penny ! I plan to eventually have her do my color, but I still don't have any gray hair yet, athough I know she's the best at that too ! I highly recommend her ! You won't regret it and she'll be your forever stylist.

I've been going to Jimmy for somewhere between 5-7 years now, it has been so long that I can't even…read moreremember exactly when it started. When I first met him, I was extremely particular and nervous about my hair because I had already gone through so many bad haircut experiences in the Bay. Jimmy never made me feel difficult or rushed. He took the time to explain exactly what he would do, walk me through the shape and length, and answer every question I had. I'm the kind of person who cared about details down to the millimeter. Jimmy always had the patience to work through everything with me despite all the many questions I had each visit. Over the years, Jimmy became much more than just my hairstylist. Every time I sat in his chair, he listened to all my life stories, heard me out, and made me feel genuinely cared for. He took care of my hair, my concerns, and often accommodated me whenever he could. Getting a haircut became something I actually looked forward to every month or so because I always looked forward to seeing him. He has supported me through many different chapters of life and hairstyles. When I decided to grow my hair into a man bun, he shaped and prepared it perfectly for that process, so I haven't been seeing Jimmy for a while. I wanted to leave this review because I'm incredibly grateful for all the years of patience, support, and exceptional work he has given me. What stands out most about Jimmy is that he treats hairstyling as a true profession. He is always learning new techniques, improving his craft, and staying current, while still delivering thoughtful, responsive, and personal service. He understands how to create a cut that complements your face, fits who you are, and gives you confidence for whatever chapter of life you are entering. That is who Jimmy is. He doesn't just give you a haircut, he helps you step into a new chapter feeling like the best version of yourself. I'm so grateful that I met him, and whenever this current hair phase is over, I'll be looking forward to returning to him again.

I usually show her a reference photo, and she always does an incredible job getting my hair as close to the inspiration as possible. I always leave happy with the results and highly recommend her!

My second experience here was not great. I came in to dye my hair and was initially happy with the…read moreresults. However, the price was supposed to be $230, but I ended up being charged $300, she said this would have charged more but she had given me a discount. How is that possible if the set price was $230 to start with. Also I didn't want to cut my bangs again; I just wanted them fixed up, and I didn't realize I would have to pay the full price for that. The stylist also offered to cut my hair, which I declined because that was well beyond my budget. Additionally, the fumes from the dyes were unbearable. I felt uncomfortable because, as a customer, I have the right to know the ingredients of the products being used on my hair, but that information was not provided to me at all. I will not be coming back here again. Although I am grateful for the work and effort she put into styling my hair, which was excellent! However the communication regarding pricing and the information about what products were used was not satisfactory.

Clean environment although it seems that none of the photos from their website are actually theirs? If you do not speak Chinese, BRING PHOTOS! You should bring photos anyways but it will greatly increase the chances that you'll end up with a haircut you like. If you want to be extra prepared, use Google Translate to describe what you specific want from the photos. I provided a photo but also let my stylist know that I'd be willing to listen to any modifications he had for me, hence why the cut is longer than the inspo pic. I'm relatively happy with my hair. I wish there was an option for slightly more time (cut took about 50 mins, scheduled for an hour). My hair is a bit bulky/thick so I would've liked the sides and maybe bangs to have been thinned out a bit. I definitely could've asked but didn't know if it would have been done in the allotted time. Overall, I'd probably be willing to come back!

My hair has definitely grown since my last visit -- I've been taking Nutrafol and it shows -- and Pierce did a great job working with the new growth while keeping my long-term goal in mind. My goal over the next ~6 months is to gradually cut out the existing color in my hair, and Pierce was thoughtful, patient, and honest about the process. The cut and color were done beautifully, and everything feels intentional rather than rushed or over-processed. I really appreciate how he listens, explains what he's doing, and focuses on hair health, not just the immediate result. Clean salon, great energy, and solid talent. I'll definitely be back.

Getting your haircut by David is like playing a game of Russian Roulette…read more To be honest, he has done a decent job in the past, but when he rushes, consider yourself cooked. If you have longer hair, he cannot blend the sides for his life. Currently, my hair looks like the yin and yang symbol due to the lack of gradient contrast from this previous haircut. It looks as if Moses parted the Red Sea on the side of my head. I'm not saying this is not a good barbershop. I'm saying that you need to tell David to lock in otherwise he will make it impossible for you to find/keep a girlfriend.

Im not one to go to salons and get haircuts regularly, which i probably should do to keep my hair healthy. Heheh but Ako has been great ever since! She is super nice, very sweet, and listens to what I like. Sometimes i let her just decide for me, do whatever she thinks look nice on me with the length we agreed on. I especially love the head massage during the wash and her head spa is great! She makes sure that you are comfortable! She plays nice relaxing music, dims the lights, gives you a blanket, and just gives your space while your hair gets treated during the head spa. Which i very much enjoy!
