May Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

I came in for my toddler's haircut. They charge only $12. They prefer cash though I saw some signage that they accept zelle. Maybe depending on the hair stylist? There's a small waiting area but they have plenty of chairs for those waiting. Karen cut my toddler's hair and it took about 20 minutes for the cut. We waited maybe 5 minutes before she was asking who was next. She also asked how I wanted the cut to be and she did it in 20 minutes. She asked how it was after she was done, added some hair gel, per toddler's instructions. We were out in less than 30 minutes! Oh and she offered lollipops too! How sweet! read more

May Salon - Love the vintage poster - Hair Salons Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

See all

Inexpensive cuts done quickly. No long waits. Will definitely be coming back for touchups.

Even tho I have straight hair why didn't I think to go to people who have more experience in straight hair. Came in randomly cause my grandma needed to visit an eye doctor in the area. And I looked up nearby to see can get a cut . Places came up needing a reservation. I came here not knowing if it was open. However they took me in and gave me what I wanted at the best price. I cannot even begin to express my gratitude for the haircut they gave me. read more

I was in need of a haircut soon, and I usually go to a spot in Monterey Park. However, today I was going to be meeting a friend in the Rowland Heights area, so I checked Yelp for an affordable spot. I was looking for a no frills place that had good reviews and affordable pricing. May Salon fit the bill. I drove by the block and arrived around 5:30 pm on Sat. The lot in front of the salon looked pretty small, so I went around and parked closer to the car wash area in the back. I walked over to the salon and saw what looked like a fairly busy waiting area. I was thinking to myself, "Ah - I hope I don't have to wait half an hour here for a haircut!". Within a few moments, someone got up and left, presumably he didn't speak Chinese and didn't think to ask if the wait would be long. He will probably be back tomorrow. I took the seat that he had vacated. While I was waiting, a took a picture of the prices on the wall. I saw that Yelp had very few pictures, so I snapped a picture to show the latest prices :) My wait was only a few minutes. Luckily, a spot opened up, and the 5 other people sitting were waiting for friends or family getting a cut, so I was up next! The lady who cut my hair was named Janice. I asked if she spoke Cantonese, to which she said yes. Phew! I heard some of the salon workers speaking Mandarin earlier so I thought they didn't know Cantonese. I told her what I wanted, just shorter hair, but not too short and not too long either. She went straight to work snipping my hair. She said she had been cutting hair for 20+ years, and I always tell the barbers that I trust their judgment - they've got the experience! She was really nice and I made some conversation with her while she cut my hair. When she was done, she had me check to make sure it was good. The whole cut took less than 10 minutes, and I was happy with the result. I asked how much it was, and she said $12. Their sign on the wall said starting at $10 for men, so I'm not sure if they didn't update it yet. Either way, I just paid it and tipped her extra. I told Janice that if I'm in the area and needed a haircut, I would definitely stop by again! read more

Jenny cut my hair and she's very nice! I like how my hair looks. I gave her a short layer inspo pic and she recommended not to cut it too short and the length turns out great! read more

My family has been coming here for 15+ years, and even though I moved I always wait until I come home to get my haircuts so I can get it done here. The prices are really good and I'm always happy with my hair after. I have thick hair and Janice always does an amazing job - I depend so heavily on getting haircuts here that I don't know what I'll do if I'm ever unable to. The people are very nice as well and I'd highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

I'm a regular here. Love the low prices and just a no frill, get the job done, regular buzz. Been going here for as long as I can remember. Maybe 10+ years. There's another place that's a little cheaper but this is already pretty low. Use to be $8/cut, I think they are at $10 now. I do take my whole family and I think they enjoy it too. read more

$12 for men's haircut. (Used to be $10 two years ago.) As many others have mentioned, it is a quick and cheap place. It's good enough, if you need a quick and easy cut. Come with clear communication and simple expectations. read more

I really wanted to like this place because it's close by and relatively cheap but I should've known when I walked in the shop the main customer base is bald man with chest packs. My hair dresser keep answering the phone while cutting my hair like 3 times.. my hair was patchy and uneven. if you don't care about your looks and just want a cheap hair cut this is the place for you... read more

I just got a haircut and give this place 5 stars. I called ahead of time to confirm the cost and they picked up right away. I don't speak Chinese and had no issues getting the answers I needed. She was very friendly over the phone and I when I arrived I was seated in the barber shop right away. She took her time in cutting my hair and didn't give me a "cookie cutter" style haircut. I might go back next month, but I also wanna go around Chinese owned salons/barber shops in the area to show support to Chinese owned businesses. We will see. Cost of the cut was $12 for mens and I tipped $5. The lady was also very friendly and welcoming. read more

I didn't expect much, just wanted a quick cut for summer. I got an angular layered style cut and my barber did a great job. All scissor cut for $14. Very happy with the results and price. read more

May salon is our go to cheap barber/hair salon in the area. $10 for a haircut, done quickly.

I'm getting my hair cut here, and it's totally different from what I wanted. It's the worst barber shop I've ever been to. My hair is so ugly now. read more

Husband went in for haircut, stylist done in 5 mins! Nothing much cut off. When ask her about one side is shorter than other, she argues! Terrible place! read more

My go to spot for PRC haircut. Can't beat their prices and they are quick. Definitely great for men's haircuts.

I'm actually disappointed with my haircut, but three stars for the price, the fast service, and the haircutter not commenting on my dry skin or skinny frame. I've been going to this one guy in Monterey Park for over ten years for haircuts. Recently I've wanted to try new places since that guy was always reluctant to cut my hair differently. I had a long bob that finally grew out to a length I liked, I just wanted more separated layers. I came in to May Salon and immediately got seated. I pointed out how my hair is long in the front and short in the back. The haircutter said that she was going to cut a U-shape because it looks better. I paused because the last thing I wanted was a u-shape for my already short hair. I corrected her and said that I wanted the front to stay long and the back to be just a little shorter. She said ok. I also pointed out how my bangs got long and she said she'd cut them shorter. The haircutter used a spray bottle and a razor-knife-thingy to cut my hair. I think the trick for me is that I need to wait until my hair dries before I decide whether or not I like the cut. Too bad I realized after the fact. The haircutter asked me if I liked the cut. My hair was still a bit wet and flat. *shrug* Sure I like it? I couldn't really tell. I just commented that I wanted my bangs on the left side to be trimmed a little more. She went ahead and trimmed all of the front strands. wut. As I left the place and felt my hair, it felt much lighter so I thought I'd really like it. But as my hair dried in the car, I kept checking the mirror and realized that the front was WAY SHORTER than what I wanted. Plus, she kept the bottom layers in the back LONG, so it's no longer a long bob. Won't be coming back to this place... I've still yet to find that place that's willing to let me try an edgier style. read more

i never leave reviews but this was the worst haircut of my life. she was done in 5 minutes and cut my fringe a whole inch too short above my eyebrows. sitting in the car and thinking about my life decisions now read more

the hair cut looks really bad and the women took me $6 tips however the cost of cutting hair is $14... my hair is unreasonable even and looks like a guy. The women is so bad at it. Don't recommend this place ! read more

Cheap and fast. :) The Fine Cuts in the 99 Ranch plaza on Azusa was closed, so I came here. The ladies here were very sweet.

This place is good, but you need to know what it is! It is a cheap, basic place for dirt cheap and basic hair cuts. I have been bringing my boys here since they were toddlers, and we are happy with the place - their cuts are "good enough" and quick, and the ladies are always super friendly. If you are looking for a quick cut for a kid or a very un-fussy men's cut, then come here. If you are a woman or looking for a hair "artiste," then this is not the place for you. read more

I've been here four times so far. The first time was to fix a butchered haircut I had gotten at a Korean salon, the second time was to get a trim, the time time was to chop my hair so I could donate it, and the fourth time was just for a new haircut as I wanted to try a slightly different hairstyle. Three years ago I went to a Korean salon because a friend of mine said they did pretty nice haircuts, but it was obvious from the beginning there would be a language barrier. Case in point: as the hairstylist is giving me super short fobby layers, I politely ask, "Can you not make it quite so short?" to which she responds, "Shorter?" *snip* I cringe. The next weekend I came here to get it fixed up, and my new cut actually looked pretty decent (which is as nice as anyone could make it, since there wasn't much other than short fobby layers to work with). Then, last year, after growing my hair out for about two years, I amassed a 13-14 inch long ponytail. With such long hair, it was obvious that I had horrendous split ends. I came here for a quick trim and told her I planned on donating my hair so I only wanted a few inches off. She took very little off, almost not enough as there were still a few remaining split ends, shaped my hair into a clean curve at the bottom, and gave me a few layers. After a few months, I came to get it chopped off. She put my hair into a ponytail for me and cut it off at a length where I'd still have enough hair to work with to create a layered collarbone-length style. I liked the style she gave me, and several of my friends said my haircut suited me quite well. This year, I wanted a new cut. I've been getting layers for four years now since 7th grade and wanted a blunt cut 2-3 inches past the shoulders. She left my hair slightly longer than that, but she said it was to account for any waviness that could occur due to the shorter length (shorter hair tends to curl at the ends) or any volume that could come as a result of the blow dryer. I went to school with my new haircut, and within two days I saw that another friend of mine had gotten the same exact haircut haha. Needless to say, I liked this cut as well. I have a few things to note. -This place is in a tiny plaza with very little parking, but I always arrive around 8:30 AM when there are still some spots open (plus, you don't have to wait for anyone to finish up his/her haircut when you come that early). -I always get my hair done by Janice, who is the best at this salon. Make sure you request her. -Every time I've been here I've had my Chinese-speaking mother tell her how I want my hair, but Janice understands English just fine. However, I'd say that it's definitely beneficial, though not necessary, for you to come with a Chinese speaker to make sure your ideas get through to the hairstylist. My most recent visit here I just showed Janice a picture and she began snipping without needing further explanation. -Janice owns an Old English Sheepdog. Don't freak out if you see it in the salon; while it is pretty large, it is the most chill dog you will ever meet. -I am not much of a hair person. I like it clean and styled simply, so I never ask for any incredibly complicated hairstyles. However, if you're looking for a crazy mohawk or mullet (lol) or want multicolored hair, you may want to look elsewhere. This place is great for basic cuts. -My haircuts have all been $13. I usually give $2-3 in tips. read more

I highly recommend Janice to new customers. Whenever I visit, there is at least a 20 min wait just for her, so make sure to call ahead to make an appointment. I've tried out 2 stylists in Chicago, but I always return to May Salon once a year for Jenny to cut my hair the way I like it: chin length hair with layers and sparse bangs. Aside from Jenny's skill, it doesn't hurt that the service is inexpensive; women's hair cuts are $13 and men's are $8. Remember to tip generously with cash! read more

My mom and I got our hair cut by Jenny. Haircuts are fairly cheap($13). If you don't like getting your hair cut with that razor thing, then I don't recommend it..I think that's why it's so cheap..because she doesn't use scissors to cut your hair. She also cuts your hair very fast! If you want something fast, cheap, and convenient, this is the place to go. read more

Great services, friendly staff, nice price, no waiting time. Good for man.

Annie is the greatest and the most patient here. I definitely recommend getting a cut from her.

came here on a sunday around 11 am.. parked my truck at Hong Kong plaza parking lot and walk over (1 minute). the space in front of May Salon is limited. for men, hair cut is $8. they charged me $10 since i wanted a square flat top. women is $10 (hair cut only) but $15 for long hair. if you want them to wash your hair, that will be extra. be sure to tell them a head of time if you only want hair cut. I don't need the wash since i live a mile from the place. the price is very reasonable and the lady that cut my hair did exactly what i wanted which is important. don't need appointment.. just walk in. may need to wait since they get busy. then again. they are very efficient so the wait is not very long. just have to keep your eyes on some of the homeless people on the side of the building. read more

i got my haircut from annie on a wednesday afternoon. i didn't have to wait and was finished in 15-20min. not bad for the price. my only complaint was part of the side shave was bit uneven but not too noticeable. i will probably go back so it wasn't bad enough to stop me from returning. read more
