I deleted my previous review for this business last year, because I felt pressured to write a…read more5-star review. The owner directly asked me to leave one for her at the end of my appointment. The only other person I can recall that has done that was patronizing at best. First off, I felt very uncomfortable during my time here because she kept trying to push and sell her products. My mother originally had scheduled a hair appointment, and I accompanied her and ended up being a walk-in. Apparently, she only takes 3-4 customers a day because her hours are limited, compared to other Korean hair salons. I should have just been stubborn and refused. I didn't want a haircut, but felt coerced to appease. I asked for a straight, clean cut, and it was not only choppy and layered, but also messy. She wanted us to buy hair care items (conditioner and hair oil) and placed them on the counter, as if we had no option but to pay for them. It left a bad taste in my mother's mouth because it's not like she was offering it--it was more of a must. The salesperson tactic she put on was one of the more demeaning customer service interactions of my life. She boasts about her experience in Korea with celebrities and also apparently is a makeup artist. However, I was unhappy and super dissatsified with how it turned out. She said she normally charges $35 for cutting bangs/fringes, yet she would do it free of charge. Like who does that? I ended up DIY-ing my own hair later at home because I couldn't stand the way it looked. It was super awkward because she ended taking pictures for me, and it was the strangest photoshoot session ever. Then, she somehow ended up convincing my mum to buy her hand-painted tissue boxes to pick up at another scheduled visit. At that point, I was so zoned out and ready to leave. I'm pretty sure my mother had zero interest in doing any more business with her, other than receiving the hair care, and the wooden boxes look like crappy work not even aesthetically-appealing enough to sell on a dreadful site like Etsy. We won't be returning. There are plenty of other Korean hair salons that are more affordable and will treat you like a human being, with better skills.

Mrs. Kim took her time to show me how to style my new hair cut which was very helpful as I am not good with styling. I've been coming here for so many years I cannot even remember. I am always pleased to drive a distance to get a cut from her! She always makes sure I'm happy before I walk out the door. She's great with all ages and I know this cause she cuts my moms hair too haha! Thank you Mrs. Kim :)

The bride checked out Michelle's work and decided to hire Michelle for herself (no bridesmaids/mothers/girls). Michelle did mention she has a partner, but we didn't go that route. The bride did the bridal trial with Michelle at a studio in San Gabriel. On the wedding day, the bride asked Michelle to push back an hour so she could sleep in more! Then Michelle came back later before the reception for a touch up for the dress change (for an additional fee). I believe Michelle made the bride look SO GORGEOUS. I still can't get over how good she looked!!! Michelle did the hair soo well too. I highly recommend Michelle for Asian faces! (The bride has monolids and did not use eyelid tape for double lids.)

I'm thrilled that my color stayed vibrant and maintained its ashy brown shade throughout the two years. Previously, my brows were micro-bladed by a different artist, and they ended up lightening significantly in less than a year and turning reddish (bottom photo)! However, two years ago, when I visited Rose for a redo, she expertly color-corrected them and it's been a game-changer ever since! I love how Rose pays meticulous attention to detail and how relaxed and welcoming her energy is. The time spent getting my brows done flies by in her studio, thanks to her calming atmosphere. I highly recommend Rose and will definitely continue to return for future retouches. She's truly a 10/10!

The colors she uses to the high end makeup makes the look flawless every single time. I have referred her to many friends and everyone loves her and their makeup!

I've done this several times and it's a real treat to be able to take what you learn into your everyday routine. You can gather a few of your friends and make a fun night of it. Pro tip- do the class on a day when you're heading out so you can utilize the glam! Thank you Rose for everything. I'll be calling you soon I'm sure :)

I kind of put review like comments on the photos of my hair that Ashley posted since she took the…read morephotos on her phone. Facts: 1. I was recommended to Ashley by my wedding photographer who is also my mom's friend's son but I also highly recommend him too, but back to Ashley. I didn't even really need to meet with her to see her portfolio since many of his clients used Ashley and photos of her work were in his portfolio. But I feel it's important to disclose what may or may not be information that would create bias. That being said, I still went through her yelp reviews and photos for Studio Ahtti to confirm the pick. 2. I am Korean but second generation and my Korean is super limited and terrible. 3. My bridal party was mostly Asians with two Caucasians. 4. She was at Studio Ahtti when my bridal party went the day of the wedding. Studio Ahtti is bigger and has more support staff. 5. I went back to Ashley and saw her at StyleBox 9 later for my formal bridal photos which we took after the wedding because of schedule constraints. StyleBox is a smaller studio and may not work if you have a large bridal party that needs to get ready for an earlier wedding. Overall: I would definitely recommend Ashley to someone who is Asian, getting married, and has the budget. Pros: I had gained weight pretty much steadily since the engagement and I was worried about my photos. I think the hair and makeup combined made me look awesome in my wedding photos considering my weight gain. I loved loved my look wedding day. I was very happy with my hair for my formal bridal photos, but I almost wanted my wedding day hair again, since I loved it so much. But she would have charged me more to do it again (formal bridal photos work was less than wedding day price). And my Asian bridesmaids all equally looked great. Cons: 1. Speaks primarily Korean, since my Korean is limited, it's a little hard to communicate with her. 2. My non-Asian bridesmaids might have looked better if they had been serviced by someone who works on non-Asians more as they are just different enough where perhaps the similar look didn't quite work? But only one bridesmaid complained about Ashley and the Studio Ahtti team. 3. Price, they are higher than others but also very similar to others so it's not a big con, but hits the budget. I talked to her about bleaching and dying my hair purple but her price was just to high. I ended up going to a friend of a friend who is also a very highly sought after wedding make up and hair studio but more in the Irvine area, and I had considered them when picking wedding make up and hair "vendors" without knowing about the mutual friend/relationship. They were more affordable and would have been more affordable for the wedding as well but location of studio also played a part in my decision.
