Lien always does a great job with my hair. Whenever I try a new hair salon, I always end up going…read moreback here because no one can compare. I've been going to Lien for years now. She's precise and always wants to make sure my hair is done the way I like it. For a wash, cut and style, it was $50 which was reasonable. I only cut my hair 2 times a year and will only have Lien do it. Last time I went was in March 2021. I had to wait outside for less than a minute until I was called in. They took my temperature, took my contact information for contact tracing and everyone was wearing a mask. I felt safe during the whole process.

Lien did an amazing job with my hair! I was looking for a basic cut preferably from someone with a…read morelot of experience with Asian hair, and she far exceeded my expectations. You can immediately tell she is super skilled, precise, and meticulous. She listened to me and cut my hair at the exact length that I specified. She asked if I wanted layers and did a beautiful job--none of those uneven layers that I've gotten from less experienced hairdressers. Best of all, I was able to schedule a same-day appointment, and the price was very reasonable ($50 for my very long hair). I left the salon looking and feeling radiant. I had been a little nervous about getting my hair cut due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but they took every precaution to make them and their customers safe. I had to wait outside until I was called to come in, they took my temperature at the door, I had to write down my info for contact tracing, and everyone was wearing a mask. I really respect the work they're putting in to keep their business running smoothly and safely during these times. I'm thrilled that I've finally found my go-to salon and will definitely be back in the future!

Continue reading for more details ----- Ambience/Atmosphere: A+ Cleanliness: A+ Customer Service:A+ Overall Rating: A+ Ambience/Cleanliness Studio 27 "downsized" to being just Blessing and her husband and it was a BRILLIANT move. The salon is a gorgeous open concept set up with Blessing being the only stylist it there is plenty of room. It is also gorgeously decorated, it's not just a hole in the wall shop...they clearly took a lot of pride in picking out the color and decor of this salon. Customer Service Making an appointment online is super easy and Shawn (the receptionist) is friendly and always willing to answer questions and concerns. Blessing is super friendly and professional. When I get my hair done I love having a stylist I can chat but, I also want my hair to be done in a timely fashion and Blessing finds a good balance of keeping it moving but also but also making her clients feel pampered and not rushed. Overall ratiing This is a great salon! Like I said, Blessing keeps things moving! Your appointment starts right on time and you'll feel comfortable while in the salon. I couldn't ask for more in hair salon.

I love the professionalism and ease of appointment bookings.

The last hair cut I got I used a Groupon for Mizu to see what a $125 hair cut looks like and…read moredecided it wasn't that different than the normal $70 cuts I get. Today I was in desperate need of a cut and wondered how much different could a $30 cut be? MISTAKE, MISTAKE, MISTAKE! See the photo, but I've added a 1000 words b/c it doesn't do it justice :-) This place is no salon and spa, it's more like budget cuts. The whole story is below but here's a ranking: Customer Service: Sucks, tho stylist was nice to "chat" with Technical Skills: None Salon: Looks insolvent Would ever go back: No, I'd do a better job myself. Saying the product rack was sparse is an overstatement. No receptionist. There were 2 client in chairs which seemed like a positive sign. I finally asked girls who were sitting and chatting but looked like they work there (from across the room) if I could get a hair cut and dry. A stylist who was working on a client at the moment said "10 minutes". No one offered me a drink or told me to help myself to the water cooler, even tho there were no cups which I checked for because I was thirsty. I didn't want to complain because this woman would be taking sharp scissors to my head. There were no magazines or hair books for me to flip thru. When she was ready, I still had my coat on and she started walking me right over to the sinks. She never introduced herself, so I asked her what her name was and she said, MARIA. I asked Maria where I could put my coat and her response was a finger point to a chair that had a bunch her personal stuff piled on it. So standing in front of the sinks , I explained to Maria what I wanted: Long side swept bangs blending into my long hair that I wanted to keep. I couldn't believe she hadn't asked me before she started washing. ( I should have gone with my gut and walked out then. Hindsight's a B****. ) She said I had pretty/nice hair, then proceeded to wash it with COLD water. Not warm or lukewarm, but legit COLD WATER. Oh wait, it really wasn't a wash. I do a better job washing my hair when i have a wicked hangover and the only reason I'm showering is b/c I have to go to work! No scalp massage at all she didn't even wash the roots! I asked Maria how long she'd been cutting hair and if she had ever cut Asian hair before and she said, "15 years and oh yes I have many many many Asian clients." (For those of you unfamiliar, Asian hair typically has a much rounder shaft than other hair types so it needs to be point or razor (cut at a slight angle) so it lays flat. Imagine a cylinder that is cut @ a 90 degree angle, it has a sharp corner and if all your hairs are like that, the layers don't fall rounded at the bottom of your hairstyle.) My hair's texture is fine but I have an abnormally high number of follicles per sq. inch (I've been told by other stylists) so this means that I have A LOT of hair that always requires sectioning so the scissors cut thru it evenly. Back at the chair, we discussed how much bangs to cut and layers. FIRST, Maria started cutting the bangs in big lops, not using a razor or razor type comb or point cutting in. She didn't divide my hair into sections, instead she just cut big lops off the bottom. Since I have so much hair the bangs look super thick because she didn't thin them out or even try to blend them into the longer layers. Maria did not add any product or anything to add volume or style. The thing she did well was blow dry. It was straight, smooth and dry (again, not hard with Asian hair). The attached photo says it all. I doubt that she is licensed and I am kicking myself for wasting my money there. I always tip my stylists very well - 30-35%. I initially pulled out $7 as a punishment tip but then just gave her a $5 which is still generous because I'm going to have to go somewhere else to get this mess fixed!!!!!!!

WON'T be going back! Worse experience ever. My friend and I got the WORSE manicure/pedicures…read more there. The woman who did the pedicure plastered nail polish all over my friends toes and told her she was done! Three tries later, she finally got the polish off of her toes with the help of another woman. No manicure chairs, just a plastic tub that was filled with water. My manicure was awful! It was the first time that I experienced pain, a lot of pain, during a manicure. She was fast and sloppy! The place was dirty and it didn't look like anything was sterilized. We won't ever got back. Big mistake!!!!!

I have nothing bad to say about the ladies who work here, I know they're hustling and trying their best. But if you're not trained properly even if you work your ass off you could still not achieve the outcome you're going for. Please don't hold anything against the employees who work here. Cons: Highly defensive and gaslighting owner. Cares only about the reputation of her business, but doesn't have the genuine care it takes to retain loyal customers. Very fake "friendly," like aggressively friendly to the point where you're not allowed to have your own feelings or opinions. Will cut you off and claim you're the one interrupting, will assume any pushback is an attack, will think the worst of you when you're trying your best to be courteous to everyone else. Also: your brows will be bleached off such that you don't have any brows anymore lmao. Bro I'm so embarrassed, fortunately I wear glasses so the top frame of my glasses can hide my (lack of) brows And yes, my hair was messed up this time again, too. I look like a clown up-close right now, but it can wait a little while for me to find another salon to fix the mess. If you want the full story see my photos. And please, read the other one- or two- star reviews... they show a pattern. I should've done more research before getting my hopes up so much. I wanted so bad to find "my stylist" that I would be loyal to forever. It's just like dating I guess, gotta kiss a lot of frogs...
