Came in for a booking with a friend on a Wednesday afternoon after being recommended to this salon…read moreby two other friends. The salon was clean and professional with some ambient jazz in the background. My appointment with Hibiki started with a gentle hair wash before I was brought a small cup of tea and some konpeito to snack on as I showed him the album of reference photos on my phone. We were able to make some pleasant small talk even with the English-Japanese language barrier, and Hibiki was very attentive to making sure my hair was cut and styled in a flattering way that added volume! (I had let him know I struggled with my hair sitting flat) I would definitely come back!! For anyone looking to book here that doesn't speak Japanese, I would advise you make sure you have clear reference photos of the type of cut you want--preferably from multiple angles. Don't be afraid to ask questions, bust out Google Translate, and make gestures for what length you want your hair at!

Viange Hair is a wonderful salon, and master stylist Kaori is truly exceptional…read more Kaori is incredibly skillful and consistently delivers a very stylish, well-balanced haircut. She has a great eye for shape and detail, and every time I leave the salon the cut looks sharp, modern, and easy to maintain. She also takes the time to understand what you're looking for and offers thoughtful suggestions that really work with your hair and style. It's clear she has a lot of experience and takes pride in her craft. If you're looking for a stylist who can give you a clean, stylish cut with great attention to detail, I highly recommend Kaori at Viange Hair.

After living in the Tri-Valley for years, I was always searching for a Korean salon that could give…read moreme a true ashy brown... without the reddish tones I kept getting at more typical salons around here. I finally found one that came closest to what I get done in Korea! My hair is naturally very curly, which I know isn't common for Korean hair and can be harder to work with, but she did a great job. She evened out my previously multi-colored hair into one cohesive color and trimmed my bangs and layers how I like them. More than anything, the salon just feels like home. It's a small mom-and-pop shop, and I already know I'll be coming back regularly. They even have a Korean nail artist there, which is such a big deal for me... I've missed getting my nails done but haven't found anyone meticulous enough yet - so I'll be back soon. I'm so excited to have found a little beauty spot I can call my own!

I also appreciated the clean and tasteful decor of the salon. The haircut began with sharing of pictures I had on my phone of the look I was interested in. Once we established an agreed upon length she walked me to the shampooing chairs and then she cut and styled my hair to almost the exact style in the photos. Very happy, I haven't cut my since the start of covid. she was understanding of my slight anxiety and impressed me by listening well to my thoughts.

Tiffany and her team did such an incredible job on hair and makeup for my wedding, I would…read moredefinitely recommend her to anyone! To start off, she spent so much time with me for the trial (more than planned), making sure we had a chance to try a couple different things without any rush, which was so helpful. On my actual wedding day I loved everything she did, and my new husband said I looked like a movie star! I liked the trial looks when we did them, and Tiffany genuinely listened and understood what I wanted to tweak. When the big day came and we had the details set from the beginning, everything came out looking even better. She specializes in a natural-but-enhanced look and really nailed it - I didn't feel or look like I was caked in makeup, I just looked like the absolute best version of myself! Trying to find pictures to include here I struggled to find ones that seemed like they were showing off the makeup - but that's kind of the point. The makeup wasn't super showy (exactly as I wanted), it just made me look really great in every picture! And this is from someone who often doesn't like pictures of myself. The other artists she brought for our officiant and moms (both in the pictures I'm including) also did a great job. They handled mature skin, thick/unruly hair, and curls beautifully. I've never seen my mom's shoulder length curly hair look so good! They were also great company all morning, which is so important.

My experience with this makeup artist was extremely disappointing. Throughout the trial session,…read moreshe kept checking her watch, which made me feel rushed. The final result was nothing like what I expected, and I was extremely unsatisfied. When I politely expressed that I didn't like the makeup look, she got visibly frustrated, placing her arm on her waist in an unprofessional manner. Any requests for adjustments were met with reluctance and annoyance. After deciding that I didn't want her to do my makeup but would still proceed with her services for my other family members, she canceled the contract herself. While she's technically not obligated to return the retainer fee, she told me she would -- but never did. That lack of follow-through was very disappointing and unprofessional. Also, be aware that her contract does not allow cancellations due to dissatisfaction within 60 days of your event, so if you're considering a trial, make sure to do it well in advance. I would not recommend her based on this experience.

I've gotten I think 2 or 3 haircuts from Ming. I'm very busy and super low maintenance about my…read morehair. I only get a chance to cut it once a year. I wish it was more frequent but hey life happens. Ming is not judgmental and we always have a great time just chatting away. (I think she would adjust to how much you want to chat.) I have straight Asian hair and Ming does great with it. The first couple times I got a mid length layered style and recently I switched to a bob. I ask Ming to show me how to take care of it and she gives me tips on blow drying. I get a lot of compliments on my cuts from others and more importantly I feel good in them. I make an appointment by calling. She's just one woman so she can't accommodate all times the way a salon with multiple stylists can but I haven't had a problem finding a matching time for a Friday to Sunday appointment for within a week. If you're thinking about trying someone new, Ming is worth a try.

I almost never write negative reviews, but what happened to my mom at Ming Wong Hair Salon was so…read morebad it has to be said. My mom has always had beautiful hair, and she takes pride in keeping it that way. She walked in with healthy, full hair and walked out looking like someone hacked away at it with no skill or care. The sides were uneven, the so-called layers were a mess, and it looked like a complete botched job. When my mom confronted Ming Wong about it, instead of apologizing, she had the nerve to suggest my mom buy a wig or hair extensions from her salon. She did offer a refund, but this is not about the money. This is about the months, maybe years, it will take for my mom's hair to grow back. She left the salon in tears, and no one should ever have to feel that way after a haircut. Save yourself the pain and go anywhere else.

In regards to Covid-19: Anthony takes the utmost Covid-19 precautions and I felt very safe getting my hair done with him. I have been social distancing and staying at home, and it brought me peace knowing that there is only one person in his salon in addition to himself.

It would probably be best for you have to book online, unless you leave a voice message and wait for a return call. I arrived a bit early (1:45 pm). The hair stylist, Roxanne arrived at 1:50 pm. As a side note, this is a facility located inside"Sola Salon Studios" and it was easy to find once you walk inside. (It's the first studio on the left of the main entrance). Price: I was quoted right away. My quote was for $310-$370 depending on how much product would be used. My total ended up being $360. Service: Roxanne was great. She was friendly and a pleasure to be around. Finished look- I loved it! I haven't had a cut and color since before covid so it was fine for a new look! Roxanne and I decide to go for a subtle balayage as well as take off inches (a whole bunch) off for a fresh, healthy, look. I left with my hair feeling so soft and healthier than it's been in years! I'll definitely be back for some extensions and services in the near future. Thank you!

I didn't want to spend too much $$ and continue highlighting her hair as she's still in high school and not working. We had highlighted it over the summer as an reward for good grades. This time it was just to fix the "temp pink dye". Our quote was $300 because Lila thought after lifting the pink out she would have to low light it to help it grow out nicely. I was reluctant but gave in. Luckily Lila was able to lift the color out easily and didn't need to low light the hair. She saved me $$. I appreciate that she didn't automatically low light her hair as I wasn't there at the salon and she had the 2 hours scheduled out for both procedures. My daughter loved the results and I loved how honest and helpful Lila was. I'll be back again!
