I went to this salon for the first time as I wanted to experience a place new. I get blowouts 4…read moretimes a month. So, I am well aware of what I like and do not like. I got my blowout from Elena. She did a great job washing my hair and listened to what I stated as far as I have an oily scalp. The only thing I wasn't pleased about is she took 40ish mins to do a blowout and while that's great for someone who has short hair. I have never had someone take less time for my hair as it is pretty long. Normally, my blowouts take an hour or hour and 15 mins. And the result being, my blowout did not last more than 2 days. My blowouts normally last easily 4-5 days. I wish she took more time focusing on making sure not to just dry my hair and pin curl it, but more on making sure the round brush holding its volume.

She cut off around 6-8 inches of length and did an amazing job. She gave me some tips for styling and hair/scalp health. I will keep coming back here and specifically for Jee. She's personable and easy to chat with while she does her magic. The salon is nicely arranged. The owner came by to offer coffee and tea. He also gave me a free, travel sized hair masque when I checked out. The price was very affordable, much more than I'm used to from past stylists or salons. I don't often write reviews, but I do when the service and skills are warranted. Thanks Jee and Salon Avalon! My family loves my new style, including my baby boy who keep looking at my hair lol.

I had really long hair down to my hips, I went in for a trim and some short layers since my hair…read morewas really think, I made it clear I wanted to keep as much length as possible but just get rid of some dead ends and I wanted the bottom thinned out. I also had bangs that were slightly uneven so I asked her to fix that. The lady who cut my hair asked if I wanted I blow out, I told her no, I wanted to walk out with wet hair to see how it would dry naturally since that's what I do regularly. She was apprehensive but I was firm that drying naturally was what I wanted and that I didn't want to the appointment to take longer due to drying. She cut a good 8 inches off, the left and right sides were different lengths, the layers were super choppy, random, and uneven. The ends were not thinned out how I wanted and she didn't touch my bangs. At the end she said "I know you didn't want a blow out but I'm going to do it anyway" literally. She curled the ends and when I left I noticed the ends were uneven. I don't know if she curled them thinking I wouldn't notice but it was hard to miss. I was really sad to lose that much of my length since it took me so long to grow out and I wasn't expecting to get it cut, only a trim which by the way was $90 (partly because the cut was an hour and drying was another whole hour so I had to pay for 2 hours even though I didn't want the blow out) but I went back in because it was too bad to wear in public and this was less than a week before Christmas. I went back in, I told her my hair was really choppy, she said "well you asked for layers" I told her "but this isn't layers this is random pieces of different length, there are longer pieces on top of shorter pieces. She got really defensive and said I kept "moving my head." No I didn't and even if that had been true blaming the customer is just a really bad way to run a business when I'm just asking it to get fixed. I told her I wanted my bangs fixed as well and because they were uneven, she said "you came in like that" I told her "I know but I wanted you to fix them" during this argument the manager came in and had me sit down, he told me they could fix it and had another girl start working on my layers, he said that he would take care of the bangs. The Second Lady working on my hair in my opinion was really rude, she pointed out some grey hairs and I said "I know I have more of them in other places" she said "how old are you?" I told her 25 and she made a face that seemed extremely judgmental. I also notice while she was cutting my hair, she held the scissors and comb in the same hand and while combing my hair I saw her accidentally cut pieces an inch away from my scalp and I felt the scissors tug as I saw her wave LONG pieces of hair away multiple times. She also kept commenting on how thick and tangly my hair was which felt insulting. As I was in there the second time, TWO other customers came in separately saying they were coming back because they had issues with how their hair had been done, the manager didn't respond with "ok let's fix it" even when I noticed the customer wasn't trying to argue they were willing to pay more they just wanted more done, but the manager was very defensive about explaining "this is how it's done" blah blah blah when in my opinion it would have been better to say "what you asked for is ____ this is what we did but if you want more than that would be ____ it will cost more to get you want you want but we can definitely do that if that's what you want". By the time I was done I had been in there for over 2 hours just with the second time I went. I didn't have any layers when I left they basically just cut my length to the shortest piece the first girl left me with which made my ends sprawl out since I had really thick hair and my hair was about boob length now, my bangs had more heft but I didn't like the way they framed my face, to be honest I just wanted to get out of there, I had clearly made a huge mistake going back. When you go to a hair stylist, make sure you go to a place where you know they will LISTEN to what you want, not do some random stuff or get defensive when you asked for something different. I didn't take a picture of my hair after the second appointment, the length wasn't badly cut it just wasn't what I asked for, not thinned or layered at all, and like 13 inches shorter than what I wanted, I've had it cut since then by a hair stylist who LISTENS to what you ask for.

I am so glad I booked with Taylor. Don't be fooled by the limited reviews, seems like Yelp is…read more"hiding" them due to the reviewer's profile not having sufficient reviews. Due to this, I was a bit hesitant to book at first as well but I took a leap of faith after looking at her work. I am so glad I did. I booked a consultation Sunday afternoon and got a consultation the next day on Monday. She was absolutely thorough in what I wanted and made sure it was to my expectation. I told her I wanted to keep my natural hair length (as I am growing it out) but I wanted to add extensions for a little extra length and volume. If you're looking for the same, tape ins are one of the greatest options to do so with little to no damage if properly taken care of. I decided to do a color correction with some added highlights to bring out some depth + toning to a chocolate brown color to correct some of the brassiness + adding some 24 inch tape-ins (both rooted brown/blonde highlights + chocolate brown to add more length and volume). Trust me.... SO. WORTH. IT. For reference, I added about 150g. You will see in my photos shortly ladies!!!!!!! Anyway, she ordered the hair the same night (Monday) and it came in just in time for my Saturday morning appointment. She does the tapes herself so this is an absolutely remarkable turnaround. More than that, Taylor was incredibly transparent with the cost of the extensions and even sent me the receipt to show that I was paying for exactly that with no hidden costs, something you don't see too often these days. The studio was such a vibe with clean and modern aesthetics! Cute plants, both nice natural lighting and lit LED mirrors, cosy teddy bear sofa & pretty framed pics of her work. Regarding the results yall... no need to explain. I'll let the pictures say it all. After all... a picture is worth a thousand words.

I am never happy with the way I style my hair. It doesn't last, it falls flat, or it just doesn't look like I want it to. I'm so glad I reached out and asked if she could wash, dry and curl my hair. It was shiny, bouncy, and somehow still felt soft and natural. When I do it, it's all crunchy and stiff , and either too curly or not curly enough! The curls lasted all day, even through outfit changes and wind. She's so easy to talk to and really knows what she's doing. I left feeling amazing and so confident during our pictures. 10/10 recommend!!

She didn't just "do my hair" she crafted it. My blowout had the perfect balance of volume, smoothness, and movement. It looked polished but still natural, which is exactly what I love. The attention to detail was next level. She checked every section, refined the shape, and made sure it framed my face beautifully. What really stood out was her energy. She was professional, upbeat, and clearly passionate about her work. You can tell when someone takes pride in their craft and she absolutely does.

I understood that if I had to cancelled, I would still be charged for their time and the reserved slot, which is totally fair. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone professional, talented, and reliable!

I've been looking forward to trying H2O Head Care Plus, especially their 75-minute "Special Scalp Care" treatment. This review, however, is specifically about their exceptional responsiveness and customer service. After reading so many positive reviews, I reached out to ask if they would consider donating to our children's school fundraiser. I was putting together a "Korean Self-Care" auction basket featuring K-beauty skincare, teas, snacks, and gift certificates - including one for a Korean head spa experience. To my surprise, they responded within a day and were more than willing to contribute a generous gift certificate. Their willingness to support our school community was truly appreciated. The basket ended up selling for $360 and was one of the top three most sought-after items at the auction - thanks in large part to their contribution. We are incredibly grateful for businesses like H2O Head Care Plus that show up for the community and support local schools. I'm even more excited now to experience their services firsthand. Thank you again for your generosity!

She showed me with the camera what my scalp looked like which was honestly not flattering at all but it helped to make the decision on what type of treatment to get. I got the special scalp care to help get rid of the all the built up product in my hair that was causing my dandruff and she made sure to put treatments on to moisturize my super dry scalp. Worth every penny. If you look at the after photo, you can see how pink and healthy my scalp looks. Jenny really took her time, making sure to cover every inch of my scalp and was gentle and firm at the same time. I will definitely be back again. There's also another deal that if you become a member, I think the cost is $60 for 5 years, then you can get 20% off every treatment. Not bad! I may have to consider getting it.
