Like hello how the heck does that look like the photo I asked for as a hair cut.
Angelina M.

I did not get no where near what I asked for. And I asked for more body in my hair and it's like all he did was make it shorter.... There is a picture I asked for and then what I got....

Keratin hair treatment I spent $300 because I had long hair totally worth every penny
Alice M.

Just found out from my friends I didn't need keratin hair treatment because my hair is already straight. I wish I was informed about this because I was completely clueless. If you want your hair to "bounce and flow" and you already have straight hair I recommend that you DON'T get keratin hair treatment because you will get what the hairdresser call the "helmet effect". I love my new haircut don't get me wrong I just wish I was informed that I didn't need to spend extra money for the keratin hair treatment when my hair is already straight.

Layered haircut
Jessica B.

Easy to schedule, beautiful haircut! I was impressed with the photos by this salon and scheduled my first appointment online with Simon. It was super easy to do. When I showed up, I was greeted immediately and waited for my stylist Simon. Simon showed me where I could store my large bag, and gave me a great hair wash. The chair for the wash had great massage options. Simon asked questions about the haircut I wanted and checked with me on length before making the first cut. I had very long hair and wanted to try layers, he absolutely gave me the hair cut I wanted and was very detailed as he was finishing the cut. He blow dried and styled my hair and made sure I liked it. I will definitely be back to see Simon. He was kind and very detailed. I loved my haircut and needed this after waiting a year to get it cut. Amazing talent here!

women haircut
Fumie W.

i had kevin cut my hair! it was great i highly recommend him. i asked for face framing layers and he catered to my hair type with tips. easy to book online and great service. FYI bring pictures for inspo since they speak different language here. will be back again!

Sara R.

Kevin was very respectful and knowledgeable he went above and beyond the expectations. I appreciate that a lot. I completely love my hair cut!! The hair wash with the massage chair was a cool idea I've never seen before!! I would definitely come back again!

Curtain bangs with long layers
Kiana L.

Simon did a great job with my hair. I asked for curtain bangs with long layers and he delivered! He was very accommodating and made sure that he understood what I wanted. There is a language barrier if you don't speak Chinese but he will make sure that you are happy with your hair before you leave! The haircut itself comes with a nice hair wash too so it feels like you're getting the best bang for your buck. I'll be back next time for my next haircut

Kendrick N.

It took me nearly three years in San Diego to finally find the barber I love! I have come back to Teacher Cheng here for six months. My girlfriend found this place on the internet, and we are finally convinced that my hair is not impossible to cut or style. I just need a very good barber. The pricing is very reasonable for the quality I received, and I'm very happy. A word of advice is that they barely speak any English, so get your Translation app ready if you want to communicate with them. Highly recommended--the only barber I visit in town!

The after! I love it and my hair feels great.
Bren M.

I've had services twice now with Kevin, first time was just a trim with long layers, he listened and did exactly what I asked which was fantastic! My second appointment, I cut 8ish inches of hair off into a lob/ bob. The look of shock when I showed him my inspo pic was so funny. I think he's use to everyone wanting to keep their long hair. We do use google translate for conversation and I have no issues with it at all. I can't explain how happy I am! Will be returning back again!

The BEFORE, a hot mess, a 3 month old perm I was completely over
Joseph L.

Asked on Facebook for an Asian specialty salon, this was one of 2 most recommended; definitely did NOT disappoint. Made an appointment at 12.30 for 1.45 with no stylist preference and came in, had to wait a little bit (10-15mins) understandably as I made a last minute practically walk-in appointment and all the stylist were with a client. I ended up getting Simon, who we had a small language barrier as I speak very poor mandarin but we managed to communicate and even get some laughs in! Simon was cool, attentive, asked me what I wanted and asked for a reference photo; I asked for most if not all of my permed/colored lengths to be cut and the final product was MORE than I expected it to be, I was ready to go super short which I don't normally do but Simon found a great balance that got rid of the perm, while keeping a highlight look with lots of nice texture.

Kevin was fantastic! And service was great from the moment I walked in! Super attentive, and the massage fully reclined chairs for the hair was was incredible. Kevin took the time to make sure the cut, length, and style was exactly as I wanted. Great experience

soft layer
C L.

My stylist kevin did a great job! It had been almost year since I got a cut and my hair feels so refreshed. Got my dead ends off and soft layers for easy maintenance. Clean space with plenty parking and no hard selling on products which I appreciate. Def recommend! :)

Uyen added extensions and created a gorgeous bronde color. Over the years we've tried different looks, from very blonde to closer to my natural dark blonde, and I loved it every time! What impressed me the most is how healthy my hair stayed the entire time. After wearing extensions for over two years, I took them out for a while and my natural hair actually looked about 30% thicker than before (The thickest it has ever been). I just got a new set of extensions again and absolutely love them. I went from short hair to almost waist length, and this time we did wavy extensions to match my natural texture. It came out beautifully - the color matches perfectly and it looks very natural, even when I let my hair air dry without styling. Uyen is incredibly attentive and works very meticulously. She really listens and takes the time to make everything blend perfectly. I completely trust her with my hair and highly recommend her, especially if you have fine hair and are considering extensions.

I used to get my haircut from the owner, Freddy, who seemed to do a really good job at cutting, while also seemingly personable and talking to me about my day, and what's been going on. As time went on though, and considering how far I would have to drive to downtown and get a haircut, things started to fall off. I would always make sure to put myself down for an appointment but I would often have to wait for another client who he would be running over with on time. Once maybe twice is okay (I went for around 10 appointments or so), but it was pretty much every time I went I had to wait an extra 5-15 minutes before I was in the chair. Some haircuts turned out really good, and others were a little sloppy and seemed rushed since he was already over on his time and had to compensate somewhere, which I guess was sometimes me. I also went to try out the perm hairstyle and got it done by Sheila, but the perm was $200~ and ended up only lasting maybe 2-3 months despite delicate care in the process to make it stay longer. The way she did it also didn't seem to be the best since a lot of the curls were really loose even though I told her I wanted it to last a while (especially considering the price). Maybe I was the one-off that ended up not staying or looking good with perms, but I was pretty disappointed with it. Only thing I can really note that was good was that I think it helped with some texturing of my hair to not be so straight all the time. I believe the vibe of this location is good, but definitely got loud since they shared the space with 2 other businesses and also had a gym studio move in above them causing a lot of extra noise. I'm seeing now they have a new location (I only went to the old spot) which would make this issue hopefully non-existent. Since I always went out of my way to come get my haircut here, it was showing some serious diminishing returns compared to just finding a location closer which I eventually did after I moved. I believe Freddy and his team will continue to have success, but I will not be coming here anymore due to repeated issues I was having.

She left the wefts not glued bf she put them in. Therefore tattered and damaged ends on the weft. When I told her she asked what happened. I'm not a hair dresser and trying to find someone on a Sunday to fix my mess was what I had to do because of work. I have known her for over ten years and because I couldn't get back to her ASAP she canceled all my future appointments with no phone call but through text which is extremely disrespectful. Also I referred several people and she charged me $150 more than the people I referred. I always tip 20%. I'm so glad this happened because when she was told not to worry about it I found someone to fix my hair. She asked if I wanted to come in on Tuesday when she's known for 12 years I work 12 hour days. I had no expectations of her coming in but she offered to take then out but would not put them back in. That would've been a nightmare. This has happened a couple times now. She over charges and her work has gone so down hill. I just didn't want to deal with my work and finding someone new. I should've left when she just out of no where started upping her prices only on me. I work extremely hard and she upped her prices and lowered her standards knowing I'd pay it. Don't come here!

The lady told me she doesn't have time now (even though I left the salon five minutes before I came back) so I told her I'm coming back to town in two weeks because I flew out especially to get my hair done and she said she doesn't know how it's gonna grow out in two weeks so she'll see if she could get it fixed now. All I could think when she said that was did I really just spent $600 on something that might start to grow out in only two weeks??? also there's not much of a difference between before and after my hair, every time I told her I wanted something done specifically she told me she was used to doing a different way and that's how she's gonna do it so I felt like I wasn't really heard as well. Besides all that the lady that did my hair was really nice. But- Super super disappointed. Now I'm gonna have to go somewhere else and pay extra money to get it fixed the way I wanted to. More reviews like mine would have saved me my money for sure, which is why I'm writing this. Do not recommend with my personal experience.
