They…read morehappily accept walk-ins and deliver excellent haircuts for both women and men--my partner and I have both left looking sharp and feeling great. On our most recent visit, we arrived close to closing time, but the team graciously accommodated both of us, staying well past hours to provide thorough, unhurried service that lasted over two hours. The attention to detail was impressive, and they made sure we were completely satisfied with the results. The wife on the team is an absolute gem--warm, engaging, and always happy to chat, which makes the whole experience feel welcoming and fun. Ken's Hair Design consistently goes above and beyond with amazing service and genuine hospitality. Highly recommend for anyone looking for skilled stylist who truly cares about their clients!

My daughter really wanted a haircut in Chinatown... I think because it'd feel cool and authentic. I…read moredunno. Anyhow, reviews were good here so we came on this rainy day, only to find no customers, 2 older men (1 was just watching tv), and a lot of old old old things lying around, like magazines from the 1970s (am I on a set of Back to the Future?!!) and dying plants. I wasn't sure if this was retro-cool or if I should grab my kid and make a run for it. A half hour later, the older man's blade scraping was done (that's how he "cut" her hair; not with scissors). He did everything very slowly. I'm not sure if that meant he took his time or that's just how fast he can go, but he asked questions a long the way in Cantonese, which none of us speak. (I can speak some Mandarin.) We were anticipating a possible language barrier so we brought a photo to show him, but he didn't look at it for more than a couple seconds, didn't acknowledge it, and definitely DIDN'T cut my daughter's hair to resemble that photo. He did, however, ask throughout the haircut questions, like "layers?" "This short?" "Bangs?" I think? I'm just guessing at this point. My daughter was a good sport and left saying, "It's just hair. It'll grow!" And, "You can fix the sides and the front when we get home, right mom?!!" Ummm... It was only $18 + tip, and you must pay in cash. **TIP** If you go, you just have to be flexible and know that it's a haircut, so that's exactly what they're gonna do: cut your hair shorter. That's the only goal here. The style will be a mystery till it's over! Haha. But at least it'll be precise because the man we got works really slow. The place wasn't clean and was very old, but basically what I'd expect from a salon in Chinatown. Even with all that said, I would totally go back, but that's because we believe it was a good cut for the price and we aren't married to a particular style. We are really loose with this stuff. So if you are particular with what you want, you should go elsewhere.

Got my hair colored again last month, and this time I added a haircut because it was long overdue…read more Like possibly almost 2yrs overdue. I scheduled the appointment for 10am on a Saturday, and then I got a call where they would do the haircut at 10am, and then the color at 10:30am. My stylist for the haircut was Alexander and he was so nice! He explained every step and made sure I was comfortable as we went along. This was also a dry cut, which I've never had. I was about to take my glasses off, and he asked that I keep them on since I wear them most of the time and he wanted to ensure my haircut would essentially accommodate it. I've never had a stylist ask me that before and it makes perfect sense. So now my hair frames my face well, with and without my glasses. After the haircut was the color with Zoe and it was a relaxing experience. I wanted to fall asleep (I'm the type that falls asleep to ASMR videos especially with combing and wooden makeup sounds). Then it was a shampoo and style with another stylist. I called that day my self-care Saturday, and I felt so relaxed and refreshed after being there for nearly 3 hours. Now that my hair has grown out a bit, it still looks good. I love the layers that Alexander created, which took my now naturally wavy hair into account (my hair has been getting wavier as I'm aging). I feel like my grays aren't blending as well as the color fades. Maybe it's because the new shampoo I'm using may be too good at retaining the color. At a certain angle, it's very apparent where the dye ends and where my grays start. But you'd have to be shorter than me to see it, and I'm pretty short. Overall the color still looks great and tbh I don't think anyone is noticing my gray roots at the moment. The cost of the haircut and color was over $400 with tip. But my hair is still looking fantastic a month in. And this is something I'll probably do twice a year, so it's something I can save up for.

I came to her asking for a long bob with long wispy face framing bangs, brought a reference photo. I told her that I've lost a lot of hair postpartum and hoping to cut it short to strengthen the hair and cover up thin hairlines. Her cut was extremely short and choppy, and she did a horrific, choppy job with the bang, bringing them all the way above my eyebrows and they're shorter on the outside than the middle. When I told her this she blamed me and said because I had no hair for her to cut. She repeated this so many times that it brought me to tears because of how rude and horrible it was. I will never forget this nightmare.

My friend and I wanted to get hair cut on a Sat afternoon. We didn't make any appointments but I…read moredid call in the salon to see if we can get a stylist 15min later. The owner asked if we are ok with any stylist then we can come on by. We got there about 15 minutes after I called and one of the stylist name Summer was able to start shampooing for my friend right away. I waited about 15minutes and the other stylist name Leo was able to help me. The price is very reasonable. $35 + tips for Shampoo,cut and style. For this price, I wouldn't expect a whole lot but Leo who cut my hair did took his time and did my hair cut for about 10-15 minutes. I like that the wait wasn't long and still great quality cut. He told me he have been a hairstylist in china for over 9 years and then 2 more years of working as a stylist in this salon. I can tell he is quite experience. While I was there, many walk ins asking for the owner who I didn't communicate with so I don't know his name but he seems to be the popular one. His schedule was packed and he would tell the walk ins to come back another day. However, both my friend and I were very satisfied of our cut. Highly recommend both Leo and Summer. I know they work on both days Sat., and Sundays. I paid cash so I'm not sure if they take credit cards. Overall very good experience and we like our cut. We would come back. The hard part is parking like always in Chinatown.

She patiently explained the process and brought out the hair color samples for me to pick. I wasn't sure which ones would suit me the best, so she even provided a bit of artistic consultation. As my first time coloring hair, I was initially worried about my hair drying out from the bleaching and coloring, but she did a great job to protect my hair and keep it moisturized. I've done a couple washings since I've got my hair done and it honestly feels almost exactly like my natural hair before I got it done. The colors blend so beautifully together with streaks of blonde and light brown. I've gotten so many compliments from people. Making me feel like some sort of influencer!
