I'm so happy with how everything turned out. Thank you so much, Wilson!! I highly recommend him and will definitely be coming back!

Disaster. Cut way too much off, ruined my hair, and the experience was awful. See photos for…read morereference ... 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.

I have never written a review before, but after being a client of Simple Hair for 12 years, I felt…read morelike it was finally time! I started going to Simple Hair in 2014 for Japanese hair straightening, and I've been going back every year since. As I've gotten older and started getting more gray hair, they also help with touching up my roots too and I continue to trust them every time! What really stands out to me is their consistency. After all these years, they are just as professional as they were when I first started going. They're always on time, their standards have remained high, and the quality of their work has never gotten sloppy or gone downhill. That says a lot about a business, especially after 12 years. V and Bella are both amazing. They're knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely know what they're doing. There's a reason I've stayed with Simple Hair for so many years. When you find people who consistently do great work and who you can trust with your hair, you stick with them. I definitely have!

I did an extensive research using AI and came upon this establishment. I called last week and was able to schedule an appointment the following week (Tuesday at 10am !!!)) I didn't know what to expect since I've never gotten a perm before but the hair stylist was Yoko and she was so kind and patient. She helped getting me situated where we discussed what type of perm I wanted. She shampooed my hair and that off the bat was so relaxing and set the tone of my experience. We had a great conversations as she prepared my hair - while doing the perm I was given some nice Korean coffee and was asked if I was comfortable while the perm was setting it. Yoko provided me Instructions on how to maintain the perm and also provided me products to help maintain my hair. My months of growing my hair out and finally getting my first perm experience was fantastic. I'll becoming back in 6weeks for my touch ups. Yoko really took care of me and I enjoyed the experience!!!

Beautiful space, incredible attention to detail, and top-tier service. I can't recommend this salon enough!
