I've been seeing Rose for nearly a decade, and let's just say my hair has been on quite the journey. From short cuts to long cuts, keratin treatments for that sleek look, balayage, highlights of every kind, dark blonde, back to brown, and now she's blending my grays so naturally that upkeep is super easy and affordable. This review is long overdue. I've been hesitant to share her with other Yelpers, mostly because her calendar fills up fast. Still, I've recommended her to everyone I know, and they all love her. Even my picky teenagers trust her with their hair, which says it all. Rose always knows exactly what I want, keeps my hair healthy, and her warm personality makes every visit feel like catching up with an old friend. Plus, her prices are super reasonable considering the skill, expertise, and high quality products she uses. Sandy has also cut my hair a few times, and I've been really happy with the results. She's great with men's cuts too. If my husband weren't bald, I'd definitely send him her way! read more

Rose is responsive, punctual & a true professional with hair. She listened to what I wanted & what is important to me. I have 3 little ones, so I needed something easy to maintain & possibly look better with time. She shared with me her plan & delivered! I always leave feeling satisfied! Pricing is reasonable & more importantly- she works efficiently, aware of busy schedules. Thank you, Rose! read more

Hair Habit - Hair cut & dye - Hair Salons Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

Always had a wonderful & insightful experience with Rose. I've been going to hair habit for years so I've gone through a lot of different styles from short to long- and each time Rose has been able to help bring my vision to life. Love how communicative and transparent she is, which I appreciate deeply especially since everyone's hair is so different! Not only that but she's so talented and has the eye to make the cut and color work for you. Be open with her, her opinions/suggestions, and discuss with detail (as you should do anyway hahaha) she always does her best and cares for her customers. This time she worked with my very outgrown, heavily layered wolf cut, as well as my home cut bangs T-T. She tidied it up and dyed it to frame my face to show subtly from the back as I wanted. I love it so much & received so many compliments. I can't wait to go on my trip with my new hair!! Thank you Rose~ read more

Today was my first visit to Hair Habit. I have never colored my gray hair before. Rose did an excellent job. She answered all my questions and I felt confidant in her knowledge and experience. I will return on a regular basis to color my hair. I even showed my hair and photos to my family members, and they will plan to see Rose, too, for their hair salon needs. I live in Diamond Bar, and this location is close to my home. I am happy to support local businesses in Diamond Bar. Diem read more

Came back to Hair Habit for my annual major haircut this year and I'm so glad I did! Lily was very patient and kind and listened to all of my concerns before beginning to cut. I truly appreciate her attentiveness to my preferences and for really taking her time. I've gotten so many compliments on my fluffy layers! Thanks so much Lily!! read more

This is my second time visiting Hair Habit. I asked for a haircut first but then I changed my mind to do highlight instead of cutting my hair. My appointment was at 10:30 a.m. yesterday and waiting about 30 minutes because I called them at 9:45 a.m. Rose asked me what color I wanted and she handed me a booklet to choose color. She was knowledgeable enough to advise me on the color based on my skin color, hair color, and maintenance level so I picked red because it's low maintenance and suitable for me. Lily helped me do the highlight ($100), she was patient and asked my preference. She set the time for about 30 minutes and then helped me wash my hair. She was very nice and took photos for me and she even recorded a video. I'm satisfied with my highlight outcome. It took me about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Thank you Rose and Lily. FYI, hair cut price is around $35-$45. I will be back soon! read more

This has been my go to place the past couple of years. They are easy to work with and usually have same day appointments available if you call early enough. I don't have a lot of free time so I have to squeeze in a hair cut on the one day a week I drop off kiddo in the area and don't have to rush back to work. They speak good enough English and can work with whatever you show them. A haircut with wash is reasonable considering how ridiculously expensive it can be to get a haircut elsewhere. I don't need anything complicated so this place works. read more

Had a really great experience for a cut and color for my pixie haircut. Lily colored it first $85. Then Sally came at the end to cut $30. They use high quality Korean products. They accepted my request for an immediate appt. They were hospitable and offered me hot tea, while my color was setting for 30 min. Overall I was very pleased and plan to come back. read more

Visited Hair Habit to get a hair cut and hair color refresh. I previously had my hair colored to an ashy tone balayage, but the color had faded. My hair also grew out to a point where the top half was virgin, natural black colored hair and the bottom couple of inches were straw yellow -- yikes! I figured it was time for an hair update! I texted Rose to see if she had any appointments available, and I'm so happy she did (thankful for the holidays because most people were out of town)! I got my hair re-colored (balayage) to a dark brown color that will eventually fade to caramel. I also got my hair cut into a long bob with side swept bangs. I really love the dimension my new hair color has and how it still looks beautiful in different lighting! Rose is so knowledgeable and willing to share some tips to keep my hair looking healthy and fresh for the longest time possible. She also doesn't try to sell extra products or services you don't need. Her prices are also reasonable. I still highly recommend Rose for all of your hair color and cutting needs! They accept credit card and have plenty of parking shared with other stores. read more

Rose is amazing at doing color, highlights and cuts. I have been to her three times and each time my hair looks amazing. I have stopped looking for a hair colorist, Rose is my forever go to. The shop has a relaxed feel and all the stylists are so friendly. read more

Highly recommend they're professional :) our family have a haircut here :) they did a good job

I've been going to Rose for the past 10 years, and I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. I've been to many over the years but when I found her, I stopped looking. She's been at the salon for over a decade and is an absolute pro when it comes to color. She takes the time to listen, she's incredibly patient, and the results are always exactly what I had in mind. Her pricing is very reasonable, especially given her experience and how much care she puts into her work. She's a hidden gem of the community, which people have caught on to over the years, so make sure to book at least a few weeks in advance. Plus, she's just a lovely person to spend time with. Couldn't recommend her more. read more

Thank you Rose and Staff for always treating my family and I so well! Ive been coming here since before i was pregnant- throughout pregnancy and now after. I sometimes come just for a wash and a blow dry- it is so relaxing and makes my life easier: doing my hair is such a process because i have so much. I appreciate all you do and have done Hair Habit! Recently my husband got a hair cut right after me and he was very happy with it! Very affordable and quality results! read more

I texted Rose around 3 weeks ago for a consultation to see if it would be possible to do something like a balayage on my short hair and set up an appointment. Despite the long wait for the appointment, I really love the end results. I really appreciated her explaining to me what she could do since my hair was too short for a balayage, answering any questions I had about the process, and giving me tips on managing my new color. The price she gave me is super reasonable and it took just about the same time she told me when booking the appointment. Highly recommend. read more

UPDATE: going from 1 star to 3 stars because Rose is a sweetheart and immediately was apologetic and offered a refund. She was blaming herself for not checking up on it, but I told her it was not her fault and I appreciate her professionalism. I had a poor experience, but just 1) ask for Rose to color and 2) check the test strand yourself. ORIGINAL POST: Absolutely no. Came in yesterday for a $100+ hair coloring job with Lily and she butchered my hair. The sad thing is I didn't find out until I was at another salon today and they told me the back was damaged. I came in asking for a gray peekaboo, but was very open to ash brown if my hair couldn't take it. I am honestly very flexible when it comes to hair and I always let stylists know that I know everyone's hair is different and your hair will not come out 100% like the inspo pic you show them. I'm also the type to be open to trimming however many inches because I value my hair quality than length any day. But this was ridiculous! I would have been more understanding if she told me in-chair. I wasn't 100% happy with the hair color job Lily did but I gave her the benefit of the doubt that my hair just needed more sessions than she could have done in one day; therefore, I went to another salon closer to my house. So glad I did cause I cannot believe Lily didn't mention this damage. Hoping management can take this as a learning experience to test strand people's hair. read more

Got my haircut twice from Lily. The hair stylists here all speak Chinese but understand English too. They are nice and will do their best to achieve customer's request for desired hair style. It costs $35-45 for women's haircut trim. They charge if want to wash hair. I think the price is really good for the market these days and for something basic I will be returning. read more

Overpriced for hair color. I am not coming back to this place. I feel cheated from this place

Love my hair! I'm so excited I found Rose! She is the best hair stylist/colorist. She always listens to what I am asking for and she explains the process. She is very kind and I am always very happy when I leave. Thank you Rose for making me feel beautiful. I highly recommend this salon and Rose. read more

Hair Habit - Results - Hair Salons Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

I didn't want to leave a negative review because the hair stylists are friendly and you can feel their efforts (haircut took almost an hour) BUT I didn't expect to enter the place as a businessman and leave as a marine cadet. Despite clear instructions to just trim the sides and numerous times urging to stop going any further/shorter, they answered "okay" and just continued.. so eventually I had to accept my faith and return home as a buddhist monk who might have skipped shaving for a month or two. (extremely short but not bald) Again, the people are nice here but it certainly is not a place for men's haircut, unless you plan to enroll in the military. read more

My sister and I were looking for a place to get our hair cut and dyed since we wanted to try something new. I was looking through different hair places on yelp when I stumbled upon Hair Habit. Struck by the overall high ratings and positive reviews, I decided to reach out to Rose over text message to get a quote for a haircut and dye for my sister and I. Rose was very responsive and we set an appointment for a few weeks later. On the day of the cut, my sister and I showed up at our appointed time. There appeared to be a bit of a miscommunication in terms of the schedule but Rose was very accommodating and was able to fit both of us into her schedule! During the dying process, Rose was very friendly and informative, letting us know how to care for our hair to bring out the best results since this was our first time dying our hair. Rose and Julie worked efficiently to dye and cut our hair, and we were able to finish earlier than the predicted time. After, Rose gave recommendations of some hair products to help maintain our hair. I'm especially glad with how thorough Rose was in coloring my sister's hair! She even provided some leftover color wash on the house! The next day, I expressed some dissatisfaction with the lightness of my hair to Rose over text, and she was more than willing to schedule a second bleaching session! Overall I am happy with the experience at this salon and it's safe to say we'll be coming back. read more

It's been a week now since my hair appointment with Rose and I'm quite disappointed and upset with the results. Originally, I had long, light blonde hair with grown out roots looking to blend in my natural dark brown hair color, and unfortunately this is what I got. You can still tell where my roots started growing, the highlights are UNEVEN, and never have I ever STOOD UP to get my HAIR CUT. It's kind of ridiculous that I paid $280 for this atrocity. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place! Have been coming here for years and I will never find another hair salon. You get your hair cut, washed styled for a fraction of the price you'd find at other places. The ladies who cut my hair (especially Sandy and Julie) are detailed and always leave me amazed at how well my hair turns out and it's exactly what I ask for. Rose is always the friendliest professional and she is nonstop busy with her clients which shows how good she is! Never disappointed whenever I come to this salon read more

I recently moved to Diamond Bar and was looking for a local hair stylist. At the time, I was rather desperate for a haircut and seeing the 4.5 star average review was enticed to give it a try. I settled for any location that had same-day availability, and I think my hair stylist was Sandy. I sat down and showed her a photo of the style that I'd like. Initially, she said that it would rarely make a difference since that hairstyle was already long and offered to cut it slightly shorter. I accepted and let her begin. The haircut was quite a quiet experience until she opened asking directly if I spoke Mandarin. I mentioned that I knew a little, and we eventually had conversation. As you may imagine, the communication was lackluster, and I feel that unless one spoke Mandarin it would be hard to communicate your desired haircut and preferences. She began cutting my hair more and more, and I felt increasingly nervous and uneasy, almost moved to tears. I could feel that she was not comfortable delivering the hairstyle that I had requested... and I wish that she would have told me up front. Because it was summer, I caved and said that it would be okay to cut it slightly shorter. The end was an unsurprisingly awkward experience, and I think she could sense that I was increasingly discontent with the outcome. She asked if I wanted my hair washed, and I politely declined, wanting to leave immediately. The haircut overall was pretty affordable at $20, but I will most definitely not be returning. Initially, I wanted to leave a 1-star review, but after sitting on it for a few days and then a week, I've slowly come to accept the haircut and while I do not like it, I was able to make do with the tools that I had at home. It was overall not an irrecoverable haircut, and I wish my hair stylist would have been honest with me instead of wanting to make an extra buck - which is what it felt like. Update: After 2 weeks, it was unfortunately NOT salvageable, so I will be returning to the 1-star review. read more

I got a haircut from Rose and I loved it and the price is so good! I recommended to my bf as well.

Rose is does amazing work. My hair got a well deserved transformation. Rest of the staff is very friendly and does excellent work as well

She listened attentively to what I wanted and offered thei expert advice. The result was alway beyond my expectations. The salon had a welcoming atmosphere, and the whole staff was friendly and professional. I left feeling like a million bucks, and I can't wait to go back for my next appointment! Highly recommend Hair habit and the entire team for anyone looking to refresh their look. read more

Found Rose on Instagram and decided to book with her. Appointment process was very easy via Instagram dm. Shey also available via text or wechat. Got to the salon at 2:30pm and i left at 6pm. The whole process took 3.5hours! She's very knowledgeable about colors and pY great attention to details. I felt like I was in good hands the whole time. I had a ton of grays and she was able to work her magic on them. I just asked her to do whatever she think that would look good on me, and I gotta say I'm very happy with the outcome. She also gave me a lot of tips and tricks on how to maintain the color at home in between visits to save money! She's very transparent about her price and services. Super approachable and genuine too. I'm definitely going back in the future! read more

Was in need of a new hair stylist and was recommended Rose by a friend! Rose was easy to communicate with to set up an appointment. On the day of the appointment, she was very friendly and knowledgeable, asking me questions about my hair and then giving me tips based on what I told her. She even took some time to teach me how to curl my hair with a straight iron (I'm a pretty low-key person so I rarely style my hair). The haircut cost $33 (before tip, without hair washing which I am fine with), which is really affordable! I'll definitely be back, thank you so much Rose! read more
