    J is great! I have been going to her for many years and now bring my husband and kids too. She has good sense and caters to what you are looking for and is always keeping up with trends.

    Worst haircut ever! Worst than Supercuts.
    Hailey V.

    Not sure what happened, but I'm pretty sure she messed up on my side burns. I asked for a short haircut and to cut around my ears. She went ahead and cut way above my ears on my right side and left side was okay. I don't think I will come back.

    The picture I showed for color reference.

    EDIT: J reached out and offered to fix it, unfortunately I am leaving the city but I appreciated the offer. I asked for more bangs than what I currently had, mid to long layers, and a little bit of color to add dimension (specified that it didn't have to look exactly like the picture bc I had layers but I just wanted somewhat of a dimension added color wise that was pretty natural). Cut is fine, she said she couldn't do anything about the bangs but I didn't really mind that, my bangs had been cut before and were relatively short so I understand that being hard to work with. However, the color is not at all what I asked for. On the top half of my head it reaches the roots in what looks like streaky highlights, and the bottom half looks entirely colored. The color looks like fresh bleach rather than the "chocolate brown" color we had specifically agreed upon, and I'm going to find toner and try to fix it myself. I am genuinely incredibly disappointed with my service especially considering I was very clear in what I wanted and that I was charged 300 dollars. I was really looking forward to getting my hair done and almost cried upon seeing the results the morning after, and when even more of the color washed out in a shower. Would not recommend or ever come back.

    After: cut, balayage, styled. 1 day after process.

    After many years of contemplation about getting a balayage, I finally decided to try it. I called J and scheduled an appointment, then needed to cancel the appointment very last minute due to personal reasons. J was understanding and allowed me to re-schedule my appointment in the following few weeks. I arrived for my appointment at 9:30am and left the salon around 4:00pm. The entire process was long and tedious, yet J made it as painless as possible. She was honest with her thoughts/opinions regarding the color/style I wanted, and I was absolutely in love with the end result! She used a technique that was much more difficult and tedious because she knew I wanted a more natural look. Other places quoted me around $500 for balayage and $60-80 for cut, and J charged me a much more reasonable price for cut and balayage combination (: I'm very happy to have finally found my go-to hair stylist, and would highly recommend going to J for any hair styling needs! Thank you so much I will definitely be sending my friends, family, and bf to J's.

    I rarely write reviews, but after seeing what a difference stylist J made, I had to write one. My hair was badly damaged from previous perms and colors at other salons to the point where it was not manageable, but it's restored so much after my first visit here. The service and styling were beyond satisfactory.

    AFTER
    Sharon S.

    Yes, I am that girl who gets her hair cut maybe every 2-3 years and never found the importance of maintaining good hair health and finding a good hair professional...until I met J. I'm impulsive and I'll randomly cut my hair super short after growing it for 3 years, mess up, then forcefully go to any nearby salon to get it fixed. Yup, you guessed it, I did it again this year hahaha but thankfully I stumbled upon J's shop. This review is for the both times I've stopped by. The first visit was for a haircut to fix my previous attempt at cutting it short on my own heh. She quickly addressed the scabs she saw on my scalp and notified for me to change the shampoo I'm using because my scalp was so irritated. I've been scratching my scalp more than usual these past few months, but just kind of brushed it aside because I didn't think much of it. But after changing out my shampoo per J's suggestion, my scalp has been less itchy! Not only does she do an amazing job with hair cutting&styling, but she also is knowledgeable when it comes to scalp and hair care. My second visit was today (about a little over a month after my first visit) to get a straight perm. J graciously took me in even though I made a last minute appointment & did such an amazing job on my hair! I was a bit hesitant to get a straight perm cause I was worried about permanent damage, but if my hair can keep looking this silky and smooth, take all my money!!!! Sooo in love with the results! In my 27 years of life, I never thought I would have a designated hair stylist. So this must be what it feels like to be able to go to someone you already built rapport with and trust. So grateful to now have that! Thank you J for doing an amazing job & for being so personable! Time flies by when I'm with you!

    My hair is eaten away by the bleach shampoo
    Bruce K.

    I would give no stars if I could for the service here wanted to give it a shot cause my sister needed a cut and I as well. Fortunately my sisters hair came out good but mines was horrible. She said I've seen you before somewhere I told where I worked and she said that's where I know you from. I thought that was a good thing but it wasn't I thought she gave me a good haircut till she shampooed my hair and I felt a weird burning on my scalp didn't think anything of it at the time little did I know she used bleach! Destroyed my hair and I had rapid hair loss from the last word samples of shampoo she gave me never again. Wanted to become a regular here and send a lot people her way but she is not professional and is very bad at customer service will not be retiring back ever!!

    jenny y.

    Was looking for a last min hair cut and style and came across one of her reviews that pushed me to call and see if I can get an appointment. Reviews were 100% accurate. She went above and beyond to accolade me last min and did a wonderful job. She's not only professional and so so nice she gives you really good tips on how to keep your hair healthy. Andddddd her scalp massages are the best!! So glad I found her and can't wait to go back for color this month. Thank you J for a wonderful experience

    Camryn S.

    J did a great job with my hair!! I originally wanted a cool toned ash brown balayage, but I had previously bleached and box-dyed my hair and after the first bleach with J, it seemed that the color wasn't lifting as it should've. She suggested bleaching again but warned it would really damage my hair, so instead we went with a warmer tone. My skin is warmer toned, so this worked out better anyways! My hair is very thick and dark, and I really appreciate the time and effort J put into dying it. I'm also grateful for her honest opinions! My appointment took about 5 hours, and the price was very reasonable.

    She is amazing! Exactly what I wanted. Love it! I've been coming to her for almost 1 year now and she knows exactly what I wanted.

    Kay L.

    I've been meaning to treat my hair to a full on revamp by fixing my A-cut that grossly overgrew and my blonde balayage that faded. J replied back to my inquiry of prices for my specific request and thought it was a fair deal. She took me in as her 1st customer on a Saturday morning and it felt like a VIP experience. She really took her time to treat my hair, used top tier hair products, and gave me a full blow out. It was a long process but worth every second. She made me feel comfortable and cared for my hair. I left completely satsified and I highly recommend her! You will not be disappointed!

    Digital perm (magic straight near the roots/top)
    Grace P.

    I recently visited to get my first wavy perm. Per Joanne's recommendation I did magic straight on top(near the roots) to keep down the bushi/puffiness and did wavy digital perm the rest of the way (supposed to do the least damage and stay longer with more complicated process) also she dyed my hair to cover my many gray hair. I am very satisfied with the results, was worth every penny and time invested

    PERM DID NOT TAKE -- MANAGEMENT BALMED MY "HAIR CANVAS" INSTEAD OF SERVICE!!…read more I'm severely disappointed with my experience at Salon Technique in Fullerton. I went in for a spiral perm with clear reference photos and left with a result that did not match what was discussed and was assured was possible. Within weeks, the curl continued to fall out, and at this point there is very little curl remaining--even with styling products; what a loss of $460! After multiple attempts to follow up with Pamela Coryell the owner and Piage their "perm specialists", I did not receive any timely responses from either. When Pamela did finally reply, my concerns were dismissed and the outcome was blamed on my "hair canvas", including claims that my ends were lightened and too porous. This is simply not accurate--my hair is NOT colored, and I have had previous spiral perms which held well 8+ months and have matched the spiral perm look requested. To be certain I was not off my rocker, I had another salon in evaluate my hair that very same week I got the perm, and they confirmed the perm did not properly take, did not reflect what was asked for and they said I should be refunded. What's most disappointing is the lack of accountability from Salon Technique. Instead of acknowledging that the service fell short, the responsibility was redirected onto me the client! I requested multiples times for a refund and was denied and the only offer sent back was that I could return and re-perm little ares here and there with no promise that they would take! UNBELIEVABLE - I'm sharing this so others can make an informed decision. My experience says beware and do not go here. I expected professionalism and accountability, and unfortunately this salon does not hold to this level of professionalism. UPDATE 4/25/2026 JUST RECEIVED A SPIRAL PERM FROM Avy The Curly Girly at a different salon in Fullerton and I got EXACTLY what I asked for (see photo) and to boot... for way less! Dear Salon Owner Pamela and Paige it is NOT my "canvas" that's the issue!

I recently visited for a men's perm and cut, and let's just say Judy (and her fantastic assistant) are absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in, the welcome was so warm I felt like a VIP.

Pro tip for the fellas: Take a second to look at the haircut gowns before you dive in. I managed to squeeze myself into a very petite, very leopard-print woman's gown.

Also, cost is very reasonable for kids and men's cuts and it's worth it for all that's included. For women, it's on the lower end pricing for a Korean salon.

    My first time here and I have to say Kyu is the new Edward scissor hands! I showed him a picture of…read morewhat I wanted and he completely transformed me and made me look 10 years younger! My haircut is exactly what I wanted and more. I'm absolutely in love with my new wispy bangs! Thank you Kyu! Also, huge shoutout to Sue. She cut my daughter's hair at the same time Kyu was cutting mine. I requested for my daughter to have a similar haircut to mine and she delivered perfectly! My daughter loves her haircut and I couldn't be happier with it. This is the best haircut she's ever had. Thank you Sue! The attention to detail from both Kyu and Sue is top notch and impeccable. I definitely plan to be back!
