PERFECTION. Needed a…read moresalon close to home (I typically.. get my hair cut and colored overseas) so I saw reviews on this place close to my house. I sent in a request on Yelp and they asked that I text/call a number. After some interactions through text, a picture of what I wanted, and instructions that I wanted a 1" trim from the bottom length and a relayer, I scheduled my appointment a few days later. This spot is VERY Chinese. Lots of banter in the language but I liked the energy it gave. A little bit of a language barrier but I tried to keep it short and brief, and we "communicated" through photos of what I wanted, and what he could do. Almost all the chairs were full. I brought my son with me and everyone was nice to him (-: He was able to sit on a chair and wait for me while I had my hair done. Ming gave me exactly what I wanted. Basically a refresh. They were able to shampoo and rinse my hair, I was put in the chair, Ming and I had an exchange, and he went to work with precision and expertise. QUICKLY may I add.. I found my local salon. I'll have to try color at some point. THANK YOU MING!

I was nervous about checking out a new salon but I'm glad I did. I scheduled an appt at 10am and I…read morewas promptly greeted upon arrival. I had my haircut done by Ming and he did a good job. I showed him a pic of what I wanted and he also gave me his professional advice since my hair is very thin and sparse. I wanted to try out a u-shape with very few layers so my hair can retain the volume. The u-shape turned out a bit more v-shaped but it still looked good. Only thing I would say is that I wish they used heat protectant on my hair before straightening it, since my hair is already very damaged from bleaching in the past. Overall, I had a good experience.

To be honest, I really, really don't want to write this review. I had been coming here to see Julie…read moresince I was in high school, which was back in 2016. I only came to see her for all of my hair needs. She's the sweetest and a true expert at what she does, so there is NO complaint there whatsoever. The reason I've come back to write this review is because of the frustration I experienced last year-ish when I wanted to make an appointment to see her for my hair again. You can't make appointments with Julie online- you have to contact the salon directly via email or text. I reached out at least twice and both times received no response. I was a long time client at this salon and it felt like that didn't matter at all. The services here are great, but I wanted to hopefully shed some light on this issue I had here and maybe even return in the future if this gets resolved.

It was my second time coming in, and since my hair had grown out, I just needed a trim cleaning up the sides while keeping the length on top. Karl Cheung was my stylist, and he was fantastic. He immediately understood what I wanted and executed it perfectly. I also had my hair washed before the cut and tried a down perm for the first time, which made a huge difference since my hair tends to stick up and get unruly. Overall, the experience was great the vibe, the music, and how clean everything was really stood out. And honestly, for the quality, the price (even with tip) at $153 felt totally worth it. I'd definitely recommend this place.

All the hairstylist who have worked on my hair are so friendly and accommodating.

When I checked in, they told me to come 40 minutes later as there were 3 people ahead of me. Made sense and I realized I should have called beforehand! I went for a quick workout and they were ready to take me at 2pm. The ladies were very nice and the person who cut my hair happened to speak cantonese so she gave me good tips on haircare and told me that my hair is so wavy that it won't stay straight despite her straightening several times. I told her what I wanted and she followed it to a tee and my haircut is so well done! For straightening hair and doing layers, it's $35 + tip. I think I found my new place to get my haircuts.

I felt bad using my card for tip despite the signs prefacing cash tips are better but next time i wont forget to bring cash!!

My mom and aunt come here, and I liked how their hair looked, so I started coming here as well…read more This was my third time going to Tina; however, I'm pretty disappointed with how my hair came out. I came in for a touch-up on my roots and I had blonde highlights, but they're pretty copper-brown now and the top of my hair looks like chunks of highlights. Thankfully, it's not as bad from the side, but I part my hair in the middle so it's all I can focus on. I tend to go to places based on personal recommendations, so I'm sad to say this will be my last time here. I will say, as I waited, I saw three young boys get their hair done; it seems like kids' cuts were $15 and they all looked good. However, for the $150 I spent, I would rather have spent a little more somewhere else to ensure I left feeling good about it. It was hard to tell in my chair and my booking was towards the end of the day; after about 3.5 hours, I didn't check it all there, otherwise I would have mentioned something in person.

After about 6 months after my first haircut with her, and the tips she's provided, my hair is low key thriving! Let's start off with location... She's located downtown Hayward off B Street. Although, parking kinda sucks, and it is the Main Street with so many cars, her place is so cute! Inside her place, there plenty of seating, and a lot of chairs available. For the most part, whenever I go see her, I'm probably the only other client inside - just incase you guys get nervous for Covid reasons. Nancy is so welcoming. She starts off asking you what you want to do with your hair, and she observes and starts framing your face to see if you would like it and gives out suggestions as needed. Then she washes your hair, and then she begins the cut. She's so knowledgable in the industry. She given me helpful advice on how to maintain my hair. For reference, I've always had to wash my hair daily because it's always getting so oily. So she's given me tips on how to prevent it. And after 6 months of following tips, and seeing what works for me, my hair is fuller, healthier, and thriving as I've mentioned. She also sells products in house just in case you want to obtain professional items. I highly recommend her. You won't regret it.

This review is for Libby…read more I've been seeing Libby for over two years and actually travel back to the Bay Area just to have my hair done by her - that's how good she is. She's a true color magician. She helped me transition through the awkward grey stage at exactly the right time, and later brought me back to light brown in a way that blends beautifully with my fast-growing greys and grows out naturally without constant upkeep. The moment I knew I could fully trust her was when she gave me a short haircut, something I'm usually very hesitant about and absolutely nailed it. Finding a stylist who is genuinely excellent at both color and cutting is surprisingly rare, and Libby is both. She listens carefully, understands the science behind how color and texture behave, and designs styles that actually look great as they grow out not just the day you leave the chair. She's also warm, funny, and incredibly easy to be around. Even my husband, who normally avoids hair maintenance altogether, got a cut from her and loved it. If you care about grey transition, natural grow-out, or just want low-maintenance hair that still looks polished, Libby is the one.

I'm writing this review for my mom (she has dementia)and these are my thoughts and observations…read more For one, this was the first time here because my mom's hairdresser lost her place in Dublin, so she found a stall here. Anyways, the place itself is pretty convenient since it's located by the freeway. The place is surprisingly pretty big and spacious and my mom's hairdresser is always patient and polite. I will admit probably for my mom's next visit I'll have to stick around a tad longer and help my mom and her hairdresser when my mom gets her hair washed. So not everything there is I guess ADA available, but it's a minor thing for now since my mom has very limited mobility but can move with some assistance. As for the hairstyle, mom is always happy and I personally think makes her feel as normal as she can get these days and being content let alone having another outside interaction besides with me is always a good thing!

I was recommended by a friend of a friend and hadn't gotten a haircut in ages, and it was hard to trust anyone with my hair again after a negative experience I've had in the past with a different salon. They were so bright the moment my mom and I stepped in, and it made me wish my hair would grow back faster just so I could get it cut there again They also offer a variety of other services. My mom ended up getting her brows waxed after her haircut (which was unplanned), and it was so quick I'd forgotten she even got it done. Most importantly, they looked great! She and I loved how everything was done with a swiftness, on top of them genuinely loving what they do and how much time and care they put into their craft and service. I've lived in Hayward almost all of my life and was only able to go for the first time today. I don't think I'll be going anywhere else. Thank you Modern Hair!

I showed her a reference photo, and she even pulled out her color book to confirm the exact shade. I clearly chose the color I wanted. When she finished, my hair was bright red not the shade we agreed on. She then told me she ran out of the original dye because I have a lot of hair, so she decided to use a different red without asking me. That was extremely upsetting. This is not my first time getting my hair done, and I know what I asked for. I told her it needed to be fixed and asked how much she was charging. She said $300. I was in disbelief and honestly started crying because I could not go to work like that. I felt unheard and very uncomfortable. While correcting it, she dyed my hair back to brown/black (close to my natural color), but she had an attitude the entire time. She was pulling my hair aggressively, and when I told her my scalp was burning, it didn't seem to matter. My head was on fire. At the end, she insisted I pay the full $300. I felt pressured and didn't want conflict, so I paid and left feeling worse than when I walked in. The owner was present the entire time and did nothing. I left with damaged hair, a burned scalp, and regret for trying a new salon. I would not recommend this place. -0 stars
