The lady who did my wife's hair was amazing and the outcome was fantastic. We both praised it. Service was excellent and they explained every procedure if a request was made. Vibe was excellent, as the interior is very clean, and there was no pressure, no push, all staff were very educational. Highly recommended!

Scheduled a cut and color with Miki and it was solid as usual! I love how consistent it is here…read moreand I'm guaranteed a cut and color I like (despite the usage of box color for grays). Miki is super nice and understanding of checking for prior bald spots from alopecia and letting me know if I'm experiencing more hair loss than usual due to medical treatments. Always nice to work with someone who knows hair and has seen it all. Plenty of parking and this is actually a Korean owned hair salon so it felt comfortable with the music, cute snacks, Korean ahjumma chatter. Will come back again and highly recommend Miki for a solid haircut and color/highlights.

Okayyyy, let me just say... MY HAIR HAS NEVER LOOKED THIS GOOD! ‍…read more My hairstylist, Wendy is seriously AMAZING! She's super friendly, welcoming, and actually listens to what you want instead of giving you the "I know better" haircut you didn't ask for. She has me leaving the salon feeling like I need to find somewhere to go just so people can see my hair! I LOVE that walk-ins are welcome because sometimes my hair decides it needs attention RIGHT NOW. The prices are also very reasonable, especially for the quality and care you get. You get great service without feeling like you need to take out a second mortgage! She makes you feel comfortable, welcomed, and like you've been coming there forever. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in her work! 10/10 would recommend! If you've been thinking about trying her, JUST BOOK IT... or walk in! Your hair will thank you! ‍

**DRY, THICK COARSE HAIR WITH SOME FRIZZ/TEXTURE**…read more Came here on February 2026 looking for a trim since I had many split ends at the bottom of my hair from bleach and heat styling. I was looking for a budget-friendly place for my hair type since many shops charge $120+ for a haircut, and I'm a college student. What drew me to MC Salon was the google reviews about Wendy specializing in layered haircuts and used scissors to cut hair. I have previous trauma from a terrible cut where a person cut my hair dry with a razor... I waited for some time to post this review to cool off because I did not want to write an angry review. I first went to Wendy on 2/19, telling her that I wanted a trim, face framing layers, and physically showed her how much I wanted her to cut off. She was gentle and thorough with the hair wash and I liked the blow out style of my hair. I didn't expect her to cut my hair that short, but I was ok with short hair and my hair looked nice styled. She told me she ended up cutting more than usual since my hair was super thick (I wished she asked before). Anyways, I washed my hair 3 days later and noticed unevenness around the face framing layers. So I called if I can come back for a fix. I still liked my hair at this point, just needed a minor fix. There was one thing I did not like about the first visit is that Wendy kept commenting how dry my hair was and told me I should use hair masks. I told her at the beginning of the appointment that I washed my hair at my boyfriend's place and didn't have access to my hair products-- that's why it was dry. Even though I told her that, she still made comments on the dryness throughout the process. I ignored the comments since Wendy was nice and we had a pleasant conversation throughout. Going back for a 2nd cut is where things went wrong. When I showed Wendy pictures of the unevenness, she said it was because my hair was parted differently. I guess my natural middle part is off centered, so when she cut my hair, she split in the middle evenly. I'm not sure if that's the true reason, but it sounds plausible. It's just strange because I had this parting for 6 years and never experienced this unevenness for face framing. Wendy went to fix my hair following my natural part and also fixed other parts of my hair to be even. She also offered to style it, which I thought was nice. She only lightly styled it and when I saw my hair I thought it was ok looking, but didn't say anything because I didn't want her to cut more hair. When I got into my car to get a closer look, thats when I noticed how much hair she cut, how choppy, & unblended it was.... Clearly it was not face framing layers and she made my bangs SUPER thick. This is when I started to relive my hair trauma and became emotional. I instantly called off work to go somewhere else to fix my hair because I hated my hair so much. The person couldn't do much since my hair was so short and she took pictures of my hair to show it was still uneven. She tried to make it as blended as possible. This experience damaged my self esteem to the point where I had to style my hair every single day or else it would look choppy. Now I have lot of hair damage again. Now that my hair is a bit longer, I no longer style my hair everyday. I just wished Wendy took more accountability instead of blaming it on my natural hair parting. I still don't understand why she cut so much hair the 2nd time. The pictures explain my situation and I will not come back. The cut was $65 and I tipped $10, so I spent $75 on this hair. I think if you have natural pin straight hair or thinner hair, MC Salon may be for you. But for super thick, coarse that is dry with some texture, MC Salon is not for you. I regret my decision and wished I splurged on a higher end salon. I'm only giving this place 2 stars, which is very generous, because of the pleasant experience I had on my first visit. Please note that I did not ask for a refund because I think place still deserves business, just not from me.

Absolutely blown away by Nana's service! It was my first time coming here, and immediately Nana…read moremade me feel welcome. Even though she was working with multiple clients at the time, my haircut never felt rushed or non-prioritized. I could tell Nana was a true professional and her years of service shows! My favorite part was Nana's amazing attention to detail, and how she checked in with me for the entire haircut. She made sure I knew exactly what she was cutting, if I liked the length/wanted to change it, if I wanted her to change anything during and after the cut, etc. I have never gotten this level of service or communication with any other salon or stylist! I showed her inspo pics at the beginning of my session of what I wanted (a long, layered bob) and I think she did a great job! She even showed me how to style my hair for the long-term and gave me tips on how it will grow out/how to maintain the look. My entire experience was $45 before tip, which I don't think can be beat! I will absolutely make her my go-to stylist!

My sister and mom have gone to Shirley for haircuts in years, so I already knew I could trust her…read more I came to Shirley for the first time since the hair stylist I usually go to for haircuts is now a further drive after I moved. My hair is really long and I wanted to keep the length while adding more shorter layers. I showed Shirley a photo and she did an amazing job. She blended the layers perfectly and added so much shape to my hair. Even my dad who knows nothing about hairstyles and rarely makes any comments on my aesthetic choices said my haircut looks nice and like it takes a lot of skill. I'd definitely recommend and will be returning!

I'm extremely particular about who I trust with my hair, and I chose Shazleena because of her…read moreexcellent reviews. I went into my appointment feeling very confident that I was in good hands. Unfortunately, the haircut didn't turn out the way I expected. I asked for long layers, but the face-framing pieces ended up being cut into thick, chunky sections that didn't blend with the rest of my hair. They won't fit into a ponytail or flow into the rest of my haircut, making them frustrating to style. Even now, whenever I wear my hair up, I have to bobby pin those pieces to the sides of my head because they're too short to stay in my ponytail and otherwise just hang there awkwardly. Shazleena apologized and offered to fix the haircut at no charge, which I appreciated. However, after seeing the result of the original cut, I no longer felt comfortable having the same stylist correct it. Instead, I went to another stylist who had to blend and soften the chunky pieces so they looked somewhat natural again. That meant spending additional time and money to fix a haircut that should have been right the first time. I appreciate that she took responsibility and tried to make it right, but the experience left me disappointed and without the confidence to return.

I can't recommend Shazleena enough. She deserves so many more reviews…read more Honest Consultation (No BS): Before I even committed to going blonde, Shazleena offered me a free consultation and even a free treatment to make sure I truly understood what I was signing up for. She gave me realistic expectations about the maintenance, cost, timeline, and upkeep. She's a true no-BS stylist and she'll tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. Color Transformation: I came in after a terrible hair experience in Asia that left my hair very orange. My goal was blonde, but instead of jumping straight into it, she pushed back in the best way possible. She helped me choose a blonde that would grow out beautifully, be as low-maintenance as possible, and keep my hair healthy. I never felt pressured. she made sure I had all the information so I could make the best decision. The appointment took 8 hours, and she worked incredibly hard the entire time. She was meticulous, barely stopped for lunch, and constantly made sure I was comfortable while I sat in the chair. The end result was absolutely worth every minute. The Cut: Her haircut is on another level. She uses a Japanese cutting technique that gives my hair so much movement, dimension, and soft, natural layers. It complements the color perfectly. Overall Experience: The salon is also accommodating. they offer drinks and snacks, which made the long appointment even more comfortable. Most importantly, Shazleena is genuine, hardworking, and incredibly talented. She never asked me to write this review. I genuinely wanted to because businesses like hers deserve more recognition. If you're looking for an honest stylist who truly cares about your hair and delivers beautiful results, go see Shazleena.

I've been going to Jimmy for somewhere between 5-7 years now, it has been so long that I can't even…read moreremember exactly when it started. When I first met him, I was extremely particular and nervous about my hair because I had already gone through so many bad haircut experiences in the Bay. Jimmy never made me feel difficult or rushed. He took the time to explain exactly what he would do, walk me through the shape and length, and answer every question I had. I'm the kind of person who cared about details down to the millimeter. Jimmy always had the patience to work through everything with me despite all the many questions I had each visit. Over the years, Jimmy became much more than just my hairstylist. Every time I sat in his chair, he listened to all my life stories, heard me out, and made me feel genuinely cared for. He took care of my hair, my concerns, and often accommodated me whenever he could. Getting a haircut became something I actually looked forward to every month or so because I always looked forward to seeing him. He has supported me through many different chapters of life and hairstyles. When I decided to grow my hair into a man bun, he shaped and prepared it perfectly for that process, so I haven't been seeing Jimmy for a while. I wanted to leave this review because I'm incredibly grateful for all the years of patience, support, and exceptional work he has given me. What stands out most about Jimmy is that he treats hairstyling as a true profession. He is always learning new techniques, improving his craft, and staying current, while still delivering thoughtful, responsive, and personal service. He understands how to create a cut that complements your face, fits who you are, and gives you confidence for whatever chapter of life you are entering. That is who Jimmy is. He doesn't just give you a haircut, he helps you step into a new chapter feeling like the best version of yourself. I'm so grateful that I met him, and whenever this current hair phase is over, I'll be looking forward to returning to him again.
