I requested a trim with layers and bangs and Leo delivered! Amazing service and good price. $70 for hair wash, cut, and styling for my long, thick hair. Overall I would recommend checking them out! Will come back when I need a haircut again read more

Scissors The Salon - Long layer haircut - Hair Salons Near Me - Alhambra, California

Booked a haircut appointment about a week in advance for Leo. I asked for a layered haircut with some side curtain bangs and asked for his advice on if wispy bangs would suit my face. He really nailed the layered haircut and gave me good advice. (It's helpful but not necessary to know Chinese before coming here. I just showed lots of reference photos to describe which parts I liked and wanted to my hair style.) My hair was super long and flat before but I actually love the layers and curtain bangs now. I think this cut was super worth and cost $70 for the cut and blowout. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Another wonderful experience with Leo. I paid $70 for a haircut which includes wash, blow dry and styling. My hair feels lighter and soft after Leo applied some hair serum. Even though I came in with some ideas, Leo provided his expertise and insight to combine my ideas and his styling that would suit my facial and hair composition better. They were really kind and helpful. I was in and out within an hour. Love coming here read more

I've been searching for a great salon nearby for a long time, and I finally found it. I called on a Tuesday afternoon, and within minutes I was in the chair with Leo. I didn't come in with a specific style in mind, but I knew my concerns. Leo listened carefully, offered thoughtful suggestions, and walked me through his process step by step. The entire experience felt incredibly reassuring--I truly felt I could trust him with my hair. At one point, I asked about ongoing hair treatments. Instead of immediately recommending something, he suggested we wait until the end to see if it was even necessary, which I really appreciated. The results exceeded my expectations. The cut suits me perfectly, and I absolutely love it. After reassessing my hair, Leo explained that treatment wasn't needed right now since removing the split ends and adjusting the weight helped my hair naturally fall into place. From start to finish, the service, experience, and results were exceptional. I couldn't be happier and will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Leo! read more

Good Service and so relaxing for shampooing and they open seven day appointment . Price also reasonable they serve you drink.

Leo is definitely a master with hair!! I've tried many many many stylists, some are okay some not so much, but Leo, a keeper! Love love my haircut and color!!! read more

Not sure if it was Gigi's relaxing head massage during the shampoo or May's super friendly advice that'll make me come back -- maybe both I booked my appointment just two days before and they still fit me in at the time I wanted. I came right when they opened (10am on a weekday) so it was nice and quiet. I got a haircut, color, and highlights. The color wasn't exactly what I pictured, probably because I didn't explain it well enough and I still can't really see the highlights yet, but I'm trusting the process , maybe a couple or three more wash. May was so nice though and gave me some great tips on how to blow-dry for volume (still I can't get it right at home though!).. Anyway, everyone there was super nice and accommodating. They seem to know what they're doing -- you just have to be specific about what you want. I'll give an update in a couple of weeks once the highlights show up! read more

Darling morning convo and cut with May. She's very attentive to my insecurities and my vision to have a voluminous lazy girl hair cut. She did a fantastic job putting my Pinterest photos to my hair. Scissors will be my new go to hair salon. Thank you, May! Price on point with the neighborhood salons. Plenty of parking in the shopping center and a nice area to grab lunch too. read more

Thanks to all the great reviews here, I took a chance on Leo, and I'm happy to say he did a fantastic job. There was a language barrier, but he understood perfectly what I was going for on just a photograph and he showed me the intended lengths before cutting to make sure I was comfortable with it. I was in and out in under an hours with revived hair, bye bye dry split ends! **If you are a non-smoker, please be aware that Leo appears to smoke. read more

Scissors The Salon - Leo's layered cut - Hair Salons Near Me - Alhambra, California

Came in with flat, lifeless hair and left feeling completely transformed! I got a face-framing cut that brought so much life and movement back into my hair. Ask for Leo, he truly has a perfectionist's eye when it comes to styling. He knew exactly what would complement my face shape and made thoughtful adjustments throughout the cut. The layers are absolutely perfect! Leo gave my hair volume and even slimmed my face in the most flattering way. I'll definitely be coming back as it was worth every penny. $65 for a women's haircut and I walked out feeling like a whole new person! read more

After my previous experience, May reached out to me and offered to fix my hair. Originally this whole appointment was with her but since she was on vacation at the time (which I did not know about and the other staff did not tell me) they had passed me to someone else which now leads us to this moment. It took about 3 hours to fix my hair and she was super patient, caring, and communicative throughout the entire process. With what she was given with, she really worked her magic and evened everything out the best she could. I was so satisfied and happy after the correction that I felt alot better about everything and even went as far as deciding to bring my mom here for a haircut because May redeemed the whole salon and my experience for me. Even days later May was still checking up on me and asking if my haircut was okay and if I liked everything. She truly cares about her job and is super skilled. I am now back to being a customer at Scissors but I will only go to May! My mom loved her haircut and they had great conversations. When you book, ask for May! read more

Came here because of the great reviews on Yelp, and I'm so glad I did. I hadn't gotten a haircut in over a year and my hair had become damaged with brittle ends. Leo was my hairstylist, and the entire experience was amazing. I'm very picky about who cuts my hair, but Leo took his time and was incredibly detail-oriented--starting from the consultation to the wash, the cut, and the styling. He gave me exactly what I asked for and kept my length as much as possible. I paid $70 for a long haircut. Just a heads-up: bring cash because there's a $3 fee for debit and credit card payments. Overall, I would absolutely come back. read more

Leo was great! I came in wanting layers and a v shape cut but he explained that since my hair is thin it won't look good so I just let him do whatever he thinks look the best and I loved the results!

Great place to get a last-minute cut for layers and face-framing pieces! They took me in as soon as I got there, and they (I believe Leo? and the front desk lady) were very attentive and sweet. He washed my hair, cut it while keeping it long, sprayed all sorts of serums, and styled my hair quickly and efficiently. He also gave me a free bottle of leave-in hair serum! They were communicative every step of the way, and let me pay by Zelle because I didn't have cash. Card is $3 extra- bring cash!! I will be back here for my next haircut. read more

Just moved to this area and found Scissors through Yelp! I was able to call and make an appointment on the day of with May. My hair was washed when I arrived. After the wash I spoke to May about my hair concerns and asked her for recommendations. I didn't have a specific style I wanted, but May was so great at recommending what was best for me based on my hair type and face shape! I had such a great experience, and a few months out my hair has grown out well. I will definitely be coming back when I need a cut again I had such a great experience with May, she was great at teaching me how to care and style my hair for when I get home. She is a great stylist and also a great teacher! Will definitely be getting my hair cut by her again in the future(: read more

I recently moved to Alabama and was on the hunt for a new hairdresser. Let me start by saying do not sleep on this Hair Salon!! Leo was amazing, he did a consultation before getting into the wash and cut of my hair. We discussed how I wanted my hair to feel and look and he Nailed it ! Thank you Leo ! You can tell this is a hairdresser who truly enjoys their line of work! read more

One of the best haircuts I've ever gotten. Leo is really excellent and went above and beyond my expectations. For $65 it includes wash, cut, and styling. I accidentally fell asleep for most of the haircut so my head was not stable but Leo didn't want to wake me up so he just worked around me. I wouldn't have minded if he woke me up but that was very nice of him. I'll def be coming back for all my future haircuts. read more

Found this place on Yelp and came in for the first time. Leo did a great job on my haircut, he took his time and paid close attention to detail. Very happy with the results. read more

Leo is super knowledgeable about the science behind hair. Tested my hair to make sure which kind of perm is best and if it would be good for my hair. Treated and restored my hair health, bouncy and glossy now. Designs styles to fit face shape, giving a vibrant youthful look. More on the modern and trendy side, yet cozy. I got the latest trend, the digital perm! I went in with damaged hair and boring style. Came out looking amazing! Loved my new look, very impressive! read more

Scissors The Salon - Layers, restorative hair treatment, then digital perm. - Hair Salons Near Me - Alhambra, California

Leo is wonderful! He may not be fully fluent in English, but you can tell he truly wants to give you the haircut you're asking for. At around $70, I'd say the price is very fair for the quality. It was also easy to make an appointment. I called and went in an hour later. I just showed him an inspo photo and results were pretty close to the photo. Leo also made sure to keep my hair long (even though I wouldn't it shorter, but I couldn't explain it lol). So if you only want to cut a few inches off - he'll listen to that! On top of that, the blowout was amazing. I walked out of the salon and immediately noticed people glancing at my hair. The cut and style both looked gorgeous, and I'm so happy with the result. This is definitely going to be my new go-to spot for haircuts. read more

I had such a great experience here! Leo was amazing--so patient and skilled with my thick hair. I usually have a hard time finding a salon that can really manage it, but he took his time and made sure everything came out beautifully. The owner was also super kind and made me feel very welcome. I'm so happy I found this place--definitely a 5-star experience from start to finish! read more

First time I came in to get a nice cut for my tween daughter. She had straight and fine hair. He gave her a really cute cut which brought out the volume in her hair and framed her face nicely. I was impressed because Leo seemed to be a master at his craft. Although there is a language barrier it was fine and we communicated through translator. He handled my dry and thin hair with care. This was the first time someone has recommended to perm the roots and bangs to create volume. The cut was beautiful and brought life back into my hair. He also gave me styling tips. Great customer service. The other staff are really friendly and attentive as well. read more

EDIT/UPDATE: Leo reached out and asked if he could fine-tune my hair for no added cost. I am very satisfied with this experience. He was attentive cutting my hair and explained his reasoning. Somehow he made my bangs look longer which I like! Some parts still seem uneven but he explained that was the style and straight across wouldn't look as good which I trust. He genuinely wanted to make my hair look better and said I could reach out anytime if I have hair trouble. He curled my hair and also gave me a free curly hair treatment bottle! They did not ask me to change my review but I am bumping this up to 4 stars for the positive service. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Very disappointing considering the positive reviews for this place. It started out good but the actual hair cutting portion was a let down. I first showed my inspiration photos to Leo and he pointed out which photos wouldn't turn out the same because of my straight hair type. He spoke only Mandarin and I understood maybe 25% of his explanations since I can understand the language a little bit but he seemed thorough and well thought out (though I wish I spoke Mandarin so I could ask questions and comment about the process or ask for changes). He also decided to tone down my bleached blonde edges for a more blended brown which I thought was great (though it was an added cost which I didn't know until the end). For the actual hair cut I noticed for my bangs he didn't measure the shape or compare the left to the right, he randomly snipped at my hair and by the end of it you could tell. I thought he would fix it at the end but I'm guessing he wanted this kind of look? I'm not sure but the bangs are so uneven. One side of my hair is longer than the other and when I tussle my hair there are strands that are different lengths. I wish he took more care in intentionally cutting the hair lengths. This is my first time trying bangs and I am really not liking it. The total was $155 minus tip. There was an added $5 fee for using credit cards. Hoping I can find a better place elsewhere. I have included my before and after pics and my shag mullet inspo pics I showed him at the beginning. :( it looks sooo far from it read more

The stylist May contacted me and she offered to redo my hair at no cost. May first started by showing me different styles that she thought would look good and tips on how to maintain the hair as well. She was very thorough of each step she did. Overall the hair came out well and just how I pictured it. The fact that she was willing to redo the hair when I was unhappy with the first time it was done (was done by a different stylist) shows that she does care about her client's hair. read more

The first time I came here, I got my bangs trimmed because they had gotten a tad bit long and didn't feel comfortable cutting it on my own. It was a guy who did it and he did a wonderful job! I was very satisfied with the result that I came back again a second time. This time, it was a lady who trimmed my bangs. She was very nice and even taught me how to trim it on my own!! Said it's very simple and if I mess it up, i can come in and she'll fix it for me. I've been on the hunt for a salon in the SGV area as my previous hair lady is really out of the way. I think this will now be my go to place for all my hair services! :) will post an updated review when a haircut and color is due! read more
