    Been going to Dalton for hair cuts since 1999. Great service and punctual but more importantly makes you look good.

I asked for curtain bangs, face-framing pieces, long layers, a V-cut, and a little trim, and he absolutely nailed it! The salon does have translators available, but I was totally fine without one. Wilson was super nice, patient, and attentive throughout the entire appointment. Honestly, I've never felt prettier or more confident after getting my hair done! I'm so happy with how everything turned out. Thank you so much, Wilson!! I highly recommend him and will definitely be coming back!

I haven't gotten a haircut in over a year, so I was really looking forward to this, but this visit was so disappointing. None of the workers spoke English, which meant the translation was poor from the very start. Because of that, they basically did not do at all what I asked for. I explicitly requested to take off 4 inches, but they chopped off 7 inches instead. For reference, my hair was down to my waist almost and straight across so I was looking forward to getting some nice layering and a decent trim. (I attached my reference photo vs what I actually got). My hair that I took so long to grow out is now super short. To make matters worse, the whole styling process felt very aggressive and frustrating. I honestly felt like I was being thrown around in the chair and manhandled. They repeatedly poked me in the face with their fingers when moving around my hair and the comb kept getting very close to my eyes... When I finally saw the results, the layering was so uneven it was shocking. I wish I had a better picture, but when I got home I was so saddened by the haircut that I cried out of despair and started aggressively cutting it myself just trying to fix it. I also still can't get over that I basically have less than half of the hair I started with left. Absolutely do not recommend, terrible experience.

    After my bestie had been going to esther for 7 years i jumped on the curly hair bandwagon last year…read moreand here i am for perm #2. the last year has been fun styling the first perm she gave and i loved it as it grew in and i even got two trims throughout the year. i love that my hair is allowed to have digital perm (hair-health wise) & it doesn't smell bad! after my appointment i came straight to work and this is the shot after esther styled it! in the after care i'll avoid getting it wet for 2 days and the hardest part is not touching it! but i flip my hair so i'll just try to keep it in ringlet twirls as much as possible! one thing different from my first perm was that my hair was much longer prior to this appt today, and still it sprang up! it's still long so i'm glad i grew it, and looking forward to styling this do once the 48 hr no wash time passes! highly recommend esther even with her wait list!! you can upkeep with deep conditioning your hair while looking forward to the appt (like i did!) the 3 hour appt was enjoyable, she is personable and so knowledgeable, in fact the appt was over earlier than i expected, a total timely professional! thank you esther!

I love that is super low maintenance and it just makes me feel confident with my hair style. Esther is very good at what she does. The 2-3 month wait list speaks for itself. She doesn't like to take any new clients without an initial consultation. This way she saves you time. She is very honest about if the digital perm will be a good fit for your hair type or not. I am 100% satisfied with my experience!

Better late than never, right? Joolee is amazing! She's super nice, quick, and efficient, and she pretty much runs the salon all by herself, which makes what she does even more impressive. Yesterday, I finally got a digital perm, and I absolutely LOVE the results! The waves are perfect, my hair feels so soft, and there's not even that strong chemical smell you'd typically expect after a perm. One of my favorite things about her little salon is the atmosphere. It's very clean, cozy, and relaxing. She plays classical music in the background, and I love that there's no distracting TV playing. It makes the whole experience feel peaceful and almost therapeutic. Sometimes, it's the little things that make a big difference! She also took the time to recommend products to help maintain my hair, all of which are from Korea. And who doesn't love Korean beauty products, right?! I also appreciate that she's honest with her recommendations and doesn't try to upsell or overcharge you like some other salons. Needless to say, I've found my go-to hairstylist! From now on, Joolee is the only person I'll trust with my hair. If you're planning to book with her, make sure to do it online because her schedule fills up pretty quickly. Definitely worth the wait and highly recommend!!! Sharing photos of my husband and I's curly era :)

JooLee took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and gave me a haircut and color that suited me perfectly. She is talented, patient, and pays close attention to every detail. My son also had his haircut and perm done by JooLee, and he absolutely loves the result. We are both so happy with our new hairstyles. Thank you, JooLee, for making us feel so confident. I finally found a hairstylist I can truly trust. I highly recommend JooLee Hair Salon!

    My appointment today was with the owner, Sue, and she is absolutely amazing! It was a long process,…read morebut she explained every step of the way, from beginning to end. She was patient and very understanding since I came in with hair that had damage from bleaching 1 year ago. After she cut my hair to get rid of the damage, fabulous haircut by the way, she worked on making sure my hair didn't experience any more damage from the perm. I got a hippie perm that turned out exactly like the inspo video I showed her. Even after we were done, she make sure to walk me through how to care for my hair after the perm and how to style it. If you're looking to get a digital perm in the Bay Area, Repit is the ONLY place to go. Sue is so knowledgeable and truly cares about her craft, her dedication and attention to detail are unmatched -- I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair!

Her process was thorough and thoughtful. Overall, really enjoyed the great service and insights into why she made certain stylistic decisions that she did. You can tell she's a pro and it was easy for me to relax and trust her to deliver a great cut and perm. The end result was a clean, natural looking perm right at the start rather than something too curly like I often get with other hair salons. She showed me how to style my hair to replicate the look I had leaving to every detail.

I usually wait a long time…read morebetween haircuts, so I was in the search for a new hairstylist and stumbled on her via Yelp. Her appointments were booked out a few weeks in advance, but I was willing to wait based on all of the positive experiences that people have had with her. Booking online was super easy and straightforward. When I got there, we discussed what kind of haircut I wanted and she was very helpful with her suggestions; I was looking for a Korean-style haircut with long layers with face-framing. She is also very knowledgable about trending styles, since she's studied/practiced in Vietnam and Korea before. She did a great job with my haircut and made it feel super light and healthy, perfect timing right before summer. I really also liked the products that she used too, they smelled so good, and she finished off my haircut with a blowout/curls. I love my haircut and will definitely be returning again!

The conversation was easy and enjoyable, and I was really happy with how the cut turned out. Overall, a great experience and I'll definitely be back. I've been seeing Yeye for about two years now, and that's probably the best endorsement I can give. I've gone back consistently because she always does a great job and takes the time to understand what I'm looking for. She remembers my preferences, pays attention to the details, and never makes the experience feel rushed. Yeye really listens instead of defaulting to a generic haircut. She's easy to talk to, the conversation is always enjoyable, and I leave happy with the result every time. Great stylist, great person, and someone I'd confidently recommend to anyone looking for a new barber/stylist.
