Visited the salon for the first time today due to all the great reviews and i was genuinely happy. I got the appointment time mixed up and was a little late but Arvin still went thru with my haircut. He took the time and carefully cut my hair. I didn't need to show him any picture but simply described I wanted done. Arvin delivered excellently! I definitely will revisit in the future. read more

just moved here last week and needed to find a new stylist and salon. I checked out their reviews and website and saw a post about them on Tik Tok so I made an appointment and l am so glad I dia. The salon is nice and everyone was so friendly. From time I entered to the time I left they made sure I was comfortable asked if I needed anything to drink or if I was hungry, it was such a nice feeling. Kenny did my cut and color and my hair looks amazing! Another gentleman assisted and he also washed my hair and massaged my head as well. I felt so relaxed and pampered the whole time I was there. I am definitely going back and I want them to cut my sons hair when they are here because I also so a lot of the men getting their hair cut and was very impressed. Kenny if you see this, THANK YOU! Help others with read more

The unexpected price increase is disappointing, especially with no sign, notice, or communication to clients. If the increase started in August, customers should have been clearly informed. At this point, the price for a men's haircut is simply not competitive, and it makes me wonder if the business is intentionally pricing itself out of the men's clientele. There are plenty of options offering comparable or better service for significantly less. read more

Normally I go here and have had consistently good service but this time I went and had the worst experience ever. The inconsistency is alarming. For $75 I expected much more out of my haircut but the stylist I had went completely off the mark and gave me something that didn't match what I asked for, and I was embarrassed to walk out of the salon with the haircut. I have never had an issue with my cut from ML2 before today. I'll say the stylist was at least meticulous but that was it. I will not be coming back. read more

When in Houston, haircut at ML2. I came in after a year of not getting a haircut and Kathleen knew exactly what I wanted. She perfectly blended in my framing bangs with my layers which by the way look amazing. As always, everyone is nice and welcoming. Definitely coming back. read more

Always a great experience here. Been here 3x and gotten services by James, who is knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. I have gotten a haircut, digital perm, and Korean perm. They ask you to place a deposit prior to the service. There is garage parking and lot parking. read more

James took care of my cut today and it was a wonderful experience and great results! From making an appointment over the phone, the communication was clear, easy and patient while I tried to figure out a time that worked for both of us. Check out was easy and a breeze too! Will be back~! read more

I've always wanted a head of ash brown hair, but after being shot down by countless salons and wasting a small fortune for less than desirable results, my dream nearly fizzled out. Chinatown salons had been crossed off my list for over 16 years due to one terrible haircut, but Kenny's beautiful work made me end my embargo. It had been several years since my last color service, so my hair was mostly virgin. I showed a few photos of the smoky balayage I wanted, and Kenny got to work right away, seeming very confident - none of that BS about not being able to get the color I wanted. He gave me a quick cut, then he and an assistant painted and foiled me meticulously for several hours. The end result was absolutely perfect - even better than I'd imagined. Kenny's masterful precision created such beautiful dimension but still dark and subtle like I wanted. Even now that the color is fading out, the bleach placement was so well done that I don't mind that the ash has lifted a bit. Kenny knew exactly how to handle my Asian hair, and I am excited to have found my forever salon. read more

My go to hair stylist is Arvin. I've been going to him for the past 2 years and he never disappoints. He's attentive, professional, and takes his time to make sure he's cutting your hair right. He welcomes you as you walk in and listens to you on what you want to do. Staff is nice and friendly. They're always helping each other out by keeping the area clean (like sweeping each other's area). Request/ book an appointment with Arvin. You won't be disappointed! read more

Happy that I came today...I had Arvin cut my hair and he gave me a great haircut. The wash was wonderful and relaxing and relieved a lot of stress of my day. He was very precise and pleasant to talk to. I didn't feel rushed and had a wonderful experience. I am happy he understands that my hair is wavy and can get puffy and frizzy. The style I left with is exactly what imagined! read more

Best hair color and cut from ML2! Love my hair! I did a balayage and hair cut with Mingli. I look so sleek and beautiful. I made reservations every two months to tone and cut! read more

Loved my haircut by Steven! He was so friendly and gave me exactly what I asked for. I asked for a very specific style because I enjoy styling my hair quite often. The hair was was also quite nice. The location was very convenient and it was clean inside with good music. It was easy to make an appointment over the phone as well. I paid $50 plus tip for a simple cut and wash. Only warning: they only accept Zelle/quick pay or cash or debt card. No credit cards! read more

I appreciated the time and effort spent on my hair. The whole process from mostly virgin-dyed black hair and previously dyed hair to light brown took about 5 hours. The hair cut was my favorite but the color I would say is good but not great. I wanted a more light ash brown but it was difficult to achieve and came out patchy and uneven even after bleaching so we opted for a darker ash brown. I think the price point 280 (hair coloring) + 50 (haircut) was pricey but the service was very good. read more

I've been going to MingLi for 10 years? At 3 different locations, with 3 different stylists. Always gracious, with good prices and great hair. Shout out to Stephen at Dun Huang Plaza who has fixed my self inflicted hair disasters & makes me TV ready!! And I took my visiting mom to their Kim Son Plaza location. (I've seen Michael for years) We walked in and Irene did helped my mom with her hair and ipad charger etc, while Dad and I ran errands. When my mom saw her new hair she said "I look so young!" My dad replied "Oh I have a new girlfriend!" Thank you Ming Li!!! read more

Have been going to this place for the last 10 years. James always gives the best service and very professional

I was at that sage where I needed a hair cut and I made an appointment to get it cut early in the morning. Surprisingly, it was busy on an early Wednesday morning. I'm glad I made an appointment. MingLi worked with me today and did a great job. After they greeted me, they help me wash my hair. They then help me style and cut my hair. Then then help me do a rinse and did some touch up before finishing and adding product to my hair. I was a little shock to hear the price after my haircut. As it did increase from last time from $32 to now $38 for a men haircut. read more

Kelsey was AMAZING!!!! This is seriously the best haircut I have ever gotten. She took her time and thinned out my hair- I have a TON of hair and it's super thick, usually people give up or don't really thin it out the way they need to. It was totally worth the price and I will go back again just to get Kelsey to cut it! read more

Unfortunately I didn't get the hair cut I wanted. I showed a picture of thin bangs with side pieces to frame the face, but overall the bangs now seem thick and frame my face awkwardly with the side pieces making the bangs look especially thicker and bigger. I think the stylist tried to thin out the bangs by using a thinning scissors which made the bangs choppy. I now have to wait for my bangs to grow out long enough to not be bangs to fix them again. read more

I can't recommend James enough! He does an amazing job with my haircuts and always takes the time to make sure every detail is perfect. I have thick hair, and James knows exactly how to cut and shape it so that it looks great and feels light. His attention to detail is unmatched! read more

Trendy stylists with great skills and very friendly staff. Highly recommended. I've been coming here for many years and always leave satisfied. read more

I've been here a couple times both with Lillian. She's truly amazing at what she does. During the consultation she walked me through what type of balayage color I wanted and she really made sure of the shade I was asking for. She is thorough and always checked in with me to ask how I was doing considering these are 3 hour appointments. I was really happy walking out of ML2 and my next appointment will definitely be with her. read more

Went in for a consultation because I had a bad bleach/dye job and wanted an opinion and strategy on what to do next. Kathleen took the time to explain the condition of my hair and what my options were. She was so knowledgeable and made me feel at ease at what she could do for me. I wish I had before and afters but needless to say, she did an amazing job removing the color and adding a new color without destroying my hair. She also advised me on how to care for it between now and my next visit. Amazing service, knowledgeable and extremely kind. You can't ask for more when looking for a color salon. Thanks for saving my hair!!! read more

I've had Joan do my digital perm twice now and I love how it's turned out every time! It lasted me several months and her service is excellent.

He was so attentive and truly understood what I wanted for my hair, taking into consideration my hair type and providing great recommendations for the best outcome. I also want to give a huge thank you to the other stylists at ML2 who helped with bleaching and drying my thick hair. Definitely made the process fast, smooth, and enjoyable.

Hardy exceeds my expectations every time I get my hair done. He's super professional and respectful. He makes sure you are well taken care of during the entire process. Before deciding what you want, he will ask you to get a consultation. He will ask about your hair history, which is important in making sure that what you want is something you hair can handle. He will try his best to achieve what you truly want without compromising your hair. He will answer all your questions and concerns. You know they are very attentive with their work when they're taking notes on what was done and making sure what you're about to do is something doable so the process goes a lot smoother and enjoyable. While getting your hair done, he will explain the entire process to you. He takes his time to make sure it is done the best way possible. He is very detailed with his work. He will check up on you once in a while to make sure you're doing fine. He won't do anything unless you are okay with it. He makes sure you leave happy with your hair. I first had him do a blue balayage last year. I really enjoyed having it. It was very vibrant and got a lot of compliments with my hair. Now I had to tone my hair to something natural due to some school rules. Even with my ash brown, it doesn't look boring at all. He still took time to make it detailed and give it dimensions. Highly recommend him for your hair color needs and wants. read more

Great service, very nice people. Loved the results. My hairdresser was very efficient and did an excellent job with my hard to manage hair.

I didn't think spending hours at the salon would be the most ideal day to spend my Friday but the results were superbbb! MingLi and Hardy are the only people I trust with my hair & this is something I don't say often with any other hair stylist. MingLi came in clutch with the magic scissor hands and Hardy came thru with his painting skills. It definitely took a solid 6-7 hours but that's expected when you're trying to dye your hair. Can't rush perfection. I would highly recommend them, but again just note that it will take a whole day so plan accordingly. Throughout the process Hardy did a great job explaining the steps to me and when finished, he explained how to maintain hair care. He's so nice, he is def the guy to go to if you want any color corrections and hair coloring. read more

My friend recommended ML2 to me when I told her I wanted to get my hair permed for the first time ever. I scheduled an appointment with May through my friend's recommendation and I'm so SO HAPPY with the results!! My hair was so dead, lifeless, and flat before but now it looks so great!! I was super nervous in the process because it seemed like it was taking a lot of time but thankfully the results came out so beautifully it was definitely worth the wait! I was really happy too that May and Ming gave me a lot of advice after the perm was finished on how to care for my new hair. I was definitely be going back! I'm so thankful to have taken my friend's advice and went to ML2!! Thank you so much!!! read more

I had a salon and colorist that I was absolutely loyal to for years but decided to try ML2 on a whim after my brother had a haircut there. Though they were extremely busy, Hardy took the time to sit down with me for a free consultation, giving feedback about the state of my hair and the ideas I had for my next style. Afterwards, I had reached out on Instagram to make an appointment and he was extremely receptive, helpful, and accommodating to my needs/schedule. I ended up booking with him and had one of the best hairstyling experiences ever. Hardy was really sweet, and an overall a pleasure to be around, making the 5.5 hours that much more enjoyable. Furthermore, he was sensitive and attentive to my comfort levels, constantly asking how my scalp/skin was feeling from the bleach. I was actually pretty nervous this time around as it was my first time getting my hair done since getting a helix piercing but he was super gentle and paid close attention to my ears without me even having to point them out. The style that I was going for didn't have any proper inspo pics online so he was going purely off my explanation and idea but it turned out exactly as I had wanted it to. I went from pink and black hair to blue which is a difficult transition because of the red undertones. I had some orange banding after the bleaching and we were somewhat worried that the color would turn green but the blue is consistent throughout my hair and looks phenomenal. The after service is great as well, he sent me photos of products and videos for tips on maintaining my hair color. I 1000% recommend coming here for all your hairstyling needs and asking for Hardy if you get the chance An added bonus is that he took some before and after photos for my hair transformation and promised to share them with me read more

Lillian did an amazing job on my hair! I went in for a balayage touch up and she took the time to understand exactly what I wanted done and did such a great job blending my roots with my already bleached hair to create the perfect silver balayage.

I got my hair colored by Kenny and it turned out great! It was my first time here and I learned The salon just got remodeled and it feels really bright and fresh! The staff here were also very welcoming and friendly. Kenny is a coloring master! He is kind and a little bit quiet, but I think he is just very focused on his work. He checked on me often, and given that he was working on my natural colored hair, the whole process was very quick & smooth. Honestly, I am very glad I took the chance to come here. I showed Kenny a picture of something I wanted (balayage) and the results exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be returning and booking w/Kenny for all my hair needs. read more
