I love my hair cut with Tara ! Price is responsible…read more Appointment are best ! I will be back !

Honestly really wanted to love this place because of all the good reviews and how close it was to…read moremy place. TLDR: came for digital perm and it didn't work. Came a second time and also didn't work. She blamed my hair and I wasted $200 to basically just get my hair completely damaged with 0 curl and be thrown shade by this lady. I made an appointment for a digital perm and was excited to get my hair done. The lady was nice enough but as she was curling my hair in the rolls, commented (borderline complained) on how much hair I had and how much chemicals she had to use. At the end, lets me know that my hair has a tendency to not curl and the perm will only last me 2-3 months compared to other people which would last 5-6 months. She gave me tips on how to style for volume and how to take care of it, including how I shouldn't blow dry and instead only towel dry. I was excited to see results and tipped $40 on top of $160 service. I walk out with my hair still very damp and get home to see that it's basically completely straight. So it didn't even last 1 hour, much less 2-3 months. I gave her a call to let her know that it was basically a failure asked if she could redo for me next month as I am headed out of town. She said ok, come in and I will redo. Due to scheduling issues, I had to push my appointment 1 hour later than I had planned, but I let her know a week ahead of time. I come in and thank her for having me, but she kept being passive aggressive talking about how her other clients there will have to wait extra because of me. Which wouldn't be an issue if she knew how to do a proper digital perm, and I wouldn't have had to come in a second time!! Anyway, she does my hair again but comments again at how much hair I have and how she has to use soo much ingredients or whatever to accommodate. At the end, she lets me know that if the curls don't come out properly, it's because of my hair type. No apologies or anything, just passive aggressive comments with lots of awkward silences. Also, if my hair isn't the type to "work" with a digital perm, isn't it a professional's job to let me know BEFORE the service that it may not yield the results I am seeking? Note: I have gotten a digital perm years ago and it came out perfectly fine at another salon???? I have a picture of how it ended up the 1st time (same day as perm) 2nd time (same day as perand what I had shown her I wanted.

I highly recommend Hairology!…read more May has brought my hair from dark, to blonde, to back to dark, to ashy blonde, and so on and so forth. She is honest and never pushes my hair to the point where it becomes damaged. I always leave extremely satisfied and with my hair still feeling healthy, no matter how many times she bleaches it. I am, however, guilty for putting a lot of heat on my hair, and she is always happy to recommend treatments and products to get my hair back to feeling silky soft. She does a beautiful job of blending on my balayage highlights. I posted the most recent pictures of my hair to show how amazing it looks daily, without it being professionally styled, and without salon lighting.

I've trusted May with my hair cuts since 2012 or so, and she does a great job every time. It's such…read morea relieving feeling that she remembers my tastes in hair style, my maintenance requirements (the less fuss, the better), and the quirks of my own hair's texture (e.g. super fine, flat Asian hair). Earlier this year I asked for some reddish balayage for the first time in my life, and we bounced a few ideas back and forth after showing her some instagram/pinterest pics. A few months later, the color looks even better! She somehow planned the perfect transition as my hair grew out, along with picking the right tone of color so it faded beautifully over time. Maybe I'll try something more daring next time... I asked May to do my wedding hair last year, along with some basic updos for my bridesmaids. I appreciated how organized and professional she is, yet still casual. When she told me she had gotten her own salon this year, I was so excited to have a more peaceful, intimate setting vs. a larger salon with several stylists hustling around. The hubby just made an appointment with her, as well, since his hipster-do is getting out of control. Can't wait to see her magic on his hair!

Amazing haircut-I needed a hair refresher before heading out of town for the holidays and new…read moreyear!! What a way to close out end of year with a new haircut and style!! I am trying to grow out all my color and needed a shorter cut to assist with this undulating process?! Luckily, I was able to find someone immediately to help me with this task-I was at the point of cutting off my own hair to accomplish. Luckily, Young was available and cut my hair nicely with a great style. I have white-gray hair at my temples and Young worked her magic to cover up my gray while growing out my hair naturally! She's amazing and I left with self confidence and a happy new hairstyle. I was even indulged with a relaxing, massage, neck massage and luxurious hair shampoo by the sweet guy that specializes in scalp treatment! He provided great advice on what shampoos to use and products for sensitive scalps!! I tipped him because this was a high end perk at a budget shop. I had a memorable and Amazing time at Pika, pika and will return. I highly recommend Pika, pika hair, they're great, and fit me in to prevent me from chopping off my locks. They're right next to H-Mart, the shop and staff are all really nice and do amazing work. They are now my permanent hair stylist and I cannot wait to see them all again.

I came in with already-short hair looking for a simple trim, some layers around my face, and a…read morelittle more body and movement. Unfortunately, the haircut I received from the owner was very basic and not what I asked for. I even provided two pics of what I was looking to achieve- failed miserably. I was especially disappointed with the scissor work and overall technique. Clippers were used on the back of my hair, which I initially assumed was part of creating some shape, but there really wasn't any layering or noticeable effort to add movement or texture. The end result felt more like a basic cut than a thoughtfully shaped haircut. Considering the owner has been cutting hair for some time, I expected a stronger understanding of basic scissor techniques and layering. In my experience, the skill level just wasn't there for the type of cut I was requesting. Ultimately, you get what you pay for, and unfortunately I left disappointed.
