    Hi Kathy! I've noticed most korean men will "down perm" their sides so it becomes flatter so it doesn't stick out. Is that a service you can offer at the salon?

    Sure. I do. Can you call me?… 

    Hi Kathy, I was wondering if you are still giving japanese treatments? If so, what Covid precautions…

    How much is the average charge for haircut?

    Short hair start 35 dollars. Thank you!

    Would you be willing to do a consultation prior to scheduling an appointment for a digital perm? How long should hair be for a digital perm?

    I Will Call the Consultation by phone Please Call me.… 

    How much would a Japanese Straightening perm cost for long hair? Also my hair is fine. Would Japanese straightening still be an option for me?

    How long is your hair? Japanese straight perm starts at $250. Also, if your hair has been bleached or highlighted, the perm might be damaging, so I wouldn't recommend. Please… 

    How much is generally charged for a digital perm?

    $170 up Thank you.!

    How much on average does she charge for the thermal hair straightening?

    It is very challenging to find the perfect place for Asian hair styling and I was so glad to find Kathy for my hair stylist.

    I received a wonderful haircut from Soo in October 2025 and was genuinely impressed, so I returned…read moreto her in summer 2026 ahead of a major event where I needed my hair to look exactly right. I asked her to trim about two inches off. Without asking me or explaining what she was doing, she cut a layer into the middle section of my hair. I have very fine hair that cannot support layers, and because this one landed about midway down, I was left with a frizzy, bowl-cut look in the middle and longer, visibly see-through ends hanging below it -- nothing close to what I asked for. What makes this worse is how avoidable it was. Toward the end of the cut, while she was hacking through these layers, she was busy chatting with her next client instead of paying attention to what she was doing to my hair. Because my first visit with her had gone so well, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and didn't say anything in the moment. The fallout was significant. I had to spend 10 hours researching stylists, booking consultations, and getting corrective extensions -- time I did not have before a major event -- on top of $1,000 to fix what should never have happened. The stylist I ultimately saw for corrections confirmed that my hair type should never have layers cut into it at all. I will not be returning, and I'd urge others with fine hair to be very cautious.

Desperately in need of a haircut, I made an appointment online. I selected my preferred time and date, then selected my appointment. You can also filter for specific stylist availability. I let it pick randomly because I didn't have a preference. You do have to pay a deposit and they have a no show policy but I totally get it so it wasn't a huge deal. The salon is pretty. Super clean. Lots of plants. And everyone was friendly. Madeline was my stylist and I highly recommend her. She was professional and friendly. She did a great job with my haircut and it feels and looks so much better. She didn't rush and was lovely overall. I'll definitely return and I highly recommend you visit.

    I came in for a Loreal product…read more The hair specialist in the back took my number down to get back to me about hair treatments. They told me that the henna I have used to strengthen and relax my curly hair had destroyed my hair and that my grey hair would never be a nice texture. That no product would help. I told her that I was desperate for an immediate solution, even an imperfect one while I waited to hear back from her. She said there were none. I decided to look for the L'Oreal product anyways. It was $14, so I bought it. Lost business over $14. The Loreal product is wonderful. My cuticle is closed, and my hair looks the best it has in years. I greatly appreciate the salesperson who showed me where to find what I came in to buy in the first place. I was happy to pay extra to be pampered with a protein treatment. I will find a different salon to do so. I've dealt with enough hair stylists who do what they want rather than listening to what their customer is asking for. The hard sell is not what I needed. This is not how you should get clients. It's a good store. Clean, and well staffed. Maybe just be careful of the folks who will tell you that your hair is a lost cause - it may only cost $14 to fix your problem, but they are selling a service not fixing your issue. Disappointed to find that hair at Ulta is no different than taking my car to the mechanic. Refusing to listen to the customer, trying to sell services that are unnecessary, and refusing to provide simple solutions if they can't make it expensive.
