    I met Irene in Year 2014 when my hair turned into a mess after a very bad hair straightening in Hong Kong. I came to Irene for rescue. She fixed it and she encouraged me to keep my natural hair since then. Today I still come to Irene but it's no longer for S.O.S. but ideas and creativity. Irene likes me to keep my hair long. I always told her I like to cut it shorter and shorter after she gave me a Bob haircut since 2022. Today I tried to have a happy medium to keep my hair just right on my shoulder. I came to Irene to get my hair done again today to get ready for my birthday. Irene suggested me to get the new highlight and a simple cut. As usual, she did such amazing job and I love her work very much!!!!!

    I've been going to eXpressions for over a decade. My daughter and husband now goes too because we love this place that much. Irene is my go-to hair stylist. She is the only person I trust coloring my hair, especially after having children IYKYK! She is very thoughtful and knowledgeable about hair types and colors that compliment individuals. She also uses products that are the least damaging to the hair. I've gotten highlights, balayage, and ombre done by Irene and it always looks amazing! Check out eXpressions for your next haircut and/or color. You won't be disappointed!

    Straight Perm
    Andrea T.

    Amazing experience from start to finish! I got a straight perm and the results exceeded my expectations. My hair is so smooth and easy to manage. Excellent service and great attention to detail. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Irene has been coloring, cutting, and styling my hair for many years. She is absolutely amazing and always knows exactly what I want--the results are consistently perfect. I have no complaints at all. Her assistant, Ming, is also super friendly, kind, and skilled. Every time I call to make an appointment, she always does her best to make it work, even when it's last minute. eXpression Salon is my go-to place for hair services. I am never disappointed because their service is excellent. If you're looking for a place to get your hair done, I highly recommend eXpression Hair Design.

    I got a shampoo and cut by Irene. My hair feels healthy and lighter! Will always go back to her

    Balayage by Irene! She's the best

    First time dying my hair and I was able to book Irene last minute on the same day. She is amazing and she was able to color and style my hair to my liking. I will come back for Irene every time I need a touch up or hair cut in the future. Thank you again Irene! My Balayage came out even more beautiful than I expected, so happy with the results! Seriously come here you will not regret it!

    Walked in for just a trim and ended up going for layers instead. I wasn't expecting much, but Alex did an amazing job! so happy with the result! thank you, Alex!

    Red Balayage by Irene
    Kimberly L.

    I've been going to Irene at Expression Hair Design for over 10 years, and she's truly the only person I trust with my hair! Irene's skills are unmatched--she has done my haircuts, ombres, and balayages to perfection every time. She takes the time to understand exactly what I want and brings it to life beautifully, leaving my hair healthy and vibrant. She is patient, kind, warm, and understands the importance of facial shape, and listens to client preference while giving sound advice if needed. Irene speaks Cantonese and some English, which makes communication easy and comfortable. If you're looking for a stylist who genuinely cares about her clients and has an amazing eye for color and style, I highly recommend Irene! Plus, all the staff are very sweet and friendly too! I have enjoyed coming to Expression Hair Design as I never feel rushed or pushed around as a customer. My experience at Expression has always been pleasant compared to other places that do not connect or care for me as a customer. Thank you Expression Hair for taking care of me and my hair throughout all these years and years to come!!

    Been coming to see Irene for over 4 years now for red hair, and she never fails to disappoint. She's honest with the work she can do for you based on your hair type and color, and takes care of you well esp if you have sensitive skin like me! (:

He does walk in cuts and color, but I know my hair is very very slow to bleach so went with his next appointment. Very responsive, confirmed all the details as he worked. His cutting is so fast and so smooth, you can tell he's a pro with many years experience. I was worried about the color because most barber shops don't have a lot of vivid colors to work with, but you can see it came out vibrant! He has mild difficulties in English but was easy to understand and work with, and I don't speak a word of his language. Cantonese I think? Possibly also Mandarin, I thought I heard a different language with a different customer. My hair lifted weird at one point, my last dye job migrated up into the virgin hair I think, but he was able to even things out and get even, vivid coverage. Amazing, definitely coming back. A word to anyone not used to barber shops (and a response to one of the complaints) barbers cut other people's hair while you're bleaching/ dyeing. My hair took over an hour to bleach (that's normal for my hair) I wouldn't want him standing there making no money just to watch me sit. He checked in all the time, kept an eye on my bleach and color, I was never forgotten. I see complaints that he's cutting while you're sitting - duh. He should, unless you want to pay him "watch you and not working" money, that's a weird expectation. The whole process took over 3 hours, only 10-15 was the cut, bleaching just takes a long time in my hair even at 40 volume. My hair feels very soft still, and he wanted to charge something in the 200s, which is insanely affordable and way lower than he deserves. I didn't see anyone coming in for more salon/feminine cuts so I can't speak to that, but if you want a traditionally masculine/ barber type cut, he's the best and does a great job.

My mom recommended her beloved hair stylist Maggie. I've been to my fair share of cheap, Chinese, little salons ever since I was a little kid and the results were usually bad. So you can understand my apprehension about going to Maggie. Well, I'm glad I did! I love the result and everyone else I know loves it too! If you don't know what kind of a hair cut to get, she'll suggest a cute one for you. She explained how she was going to cut my hair so that it would frame my long oval face nicely. I had waist long hair which she layered and curled. The extremely small salon had 3 chairs for hair, 2 chairs for nails, and a small back room for waxing. There was a steady stream of local customers that also seemed happy with the services they've purchased. That day, Maggie just so happened to have made some red bean with purple wild rice dessert. She was sharing it with her friends at the salon and she offered me some as well. Delish!

I just wanted a quick trim to my ends and I've been searching for a barber that could see what I want. She was very sweet and also gave me some special discount for my first time! So nice! I love my hair now. I'm definitely coming here again and asking Fanny to do my hair.

I was…read morein haircut limbo as I went to so many different barbershops all over the Bay Area and had a lot of terrible haircuts and experiences. Then one day, Wifey told me that Ken was back and was now working at a different location. I quickly texted him and confirmed that he was back for good and I immediately booked an appointment. Ken and the current owner used to work at Hair Designers at Skyline Plaza and that's where I met him and I became his regular. I initially thought he was gay until I discovered he had kids. I just revealed this to him recently and he said it's OK and it was a common misconception. We had a good laugh...always do. Prior to Ken, I had two regular barbers/hair stylists that I used to frequent and one sadly passed away (may she rest in peace) and the other one moved out of state. Finding the perfect barber is quite an exhausting process so to finally connect with one and become in sync with one another is like a harmonious balance of nature. All I have to say is, "The usual" and not having to explain how I want my hair done is such an underrated, satisfying and relaxing feeling knowing I am in good hands. Not only does he cut my hair but my wife's too. We have aged along the way and have had lots of countless conversations that we practically know each other's lives like the back of my head. Literally, he knows the back of my head. Now about that "Grand Opening" sign that's been hanging outside for the past couple of years....gotta speak to Jacky about that one. I thought it was only for Chinese restaurants, but barbershops, too?
