Aaron has wowed me for the second time. I was in my hometown visiting family for a few days and felt the need to get a new hairstyle. Prior to going to the salon I had a grown out ombré and a bad layers. I kept pushing off getting a hair cut because I have terrible luck with hair cuts - in the past stylists have completely butchered my hair. I thought I'd make an appointment with Aaron since he had cut my hair before. The first time I went was to fix a really bad haircut another stylist gave me. Aaron managed to save my hair by giving me a A line hair cut. Well he managed to transform my hair once again. I let him know that I wanted to get rid of all my blonde hair and to give me a style that would accomplish that yet still look great. He gave me beautiful layers and managed to keep my hair long too after cutting my grown out ombré. I have never been happier with a haircut. I left the salon loving my hair after he styled it and it even looks great when I just air dry it. I've also been told endless compliments. Aaron is great! He is meticulous, careful, and detail oriented. I can finally say I found a hair stylist I trust. I payed close to a bill after tip and it is the most I've paid for a hair cut. I did not even mind. His work speaks for itself. I would def recommend him to anyone seeking a new hair style. read more

I am so grateful to Vi for taking care of my hair. It feels like a statue of art with the care and treatment. I will make her my permanent hairstylist ! ^^ read more

This review is long over due! Two winters ago I decided I'd buzzcut my dead bleached hair at home and cut most of my hair off very unevenly. I ended up not having the correct hair tools and was unable to do it. I looked like a crazy person! I wore a beanie and went on yelp and found studio 79. I read reviews on Jerry and decided to go with him. I revealed my beat up rag doll botched hair cut and we both chuckled and he told me he'd do his best to save my hair and give me a pixie cut. He did an EXCELLENT JOB! He was very patient and easy going. He even offered to wash my hair again after I told him I was going to wash my hair at home to remove any small hairs left behind. Jerry was great and I'd definitely recommend him to anyone! read more

Studio 79 - Pixie cut - Hair Salons Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

Found this really cool salon by yelping nearest men's salon (looking for my son). Wow we weren't let down. When I called they asked me what stylist I wanted and I said it's our first time - so when we arrived we were told our stylist was Marissa. Once we walked in the salon it looked really cool with a hip vibe and super clean. Marissa took my son back and shampooed his hair and proceeded with what style he was looking for. She did a phenomenal job - made me happy to see my son was happy and he looked really handsome. We now found a great new salon, not just for my son, but I have appointment for highlights coming this week. Can't wait. Thank you Marissa - see you soon. read more

See all

Thanks Aaron for your honest opinion and not taking advantage of just reaping my money.

Arron the owner was such a great and fast working hair dresser. I was skeptical at first and nervous about what I wanted and he was just so straight forwarded in a friendly way. I loved his honesty at the end the results were the best of the best. I'm going to recommend to friends and family. Five stars to your business thank you so much you did a great job! read more

Went from frizzy bleached hair to a natural looking dark brown color, along with much needed layers. Leo did my color and cut. He was cordial, detail oriented, and did a great job! Pros: Modern and clean environment Complimentary coffee and water Attentive to clients Good scalp massage during shampoo session read more

Studio 79 - Before (bottom right) and after - Hair Salons Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

After 10 years of going to the same hairstylist, I had to go find a new one (nothing bad, my hairstylist is just switching to another passion). To Yelp, I went to search for my next hairstylist/salon. I was long overdue for a haircut and kept putting it off since I knew I had to find a new salon. It can be very scary and intimidating trying to find your new go-to spot. I heavily rely on these reviews. After searching and searching, I have my new go-to spot and hairstylist, Aaron! I decided to book an appt after reading the reviews and seeing the pictures of customers. From the reviews, it seemed like Aaron could do what I want, so I texted the number that is found on yelp to ask for appointment availability. I was able to schedule an appt for the same week. Arrived on time and going into it I let Aaron know I was nervous since it was my first new hairstylist in 10 years. I told him what I wanted and my concerns when it comes to new people cutting my hair. I typically get long layers, v-shape cut and thin out my hair since it's really thick and heavy. He understood my concerns of thinning out my hair & knew how to do it properly (I have had bad experiences before! Not everyone knows how to do it properly.) I trusted him and boy did he deliver! This was one of the best cuts if not the best cut. So detailed. What I especially liked is that he asked me to SHOW how much I want off instead of saying "3 inches". I knew exactly how long I want my hair to be so I showed him that this much was what I wanted to be cut off. It was really nice for him to ask and then I could show him. He even asked how long I want the shortest layer to be, which is also really nice. Overall, my experience here with Aaron was amazing! I'm so grateful to have found a new place that I can rely on. Trust me once you've found the one you don't need to look anymore. All in all with a hair wash and style too it was a quick 40 min appt and I was done. Highly recommend! read more

It was my first time getting my hair cut here and since the pandemic began, and I'm glad I came to Studio79. Aaron was my hairdresser and made the whole experience comfortable and safe. I told him I wanted long layers and with the intent of helping my hair grow. He was very organic when it came to the types of products he used and how he cuts hair. It's only been a few days after my visit, but I can honestly say how much I appreciated him for bringing life back into my hair. The salon itself was cool and has a clean industrial style, which was an added plus. If you're in the area or looking for a cool cut, definitely check out Studio79 and Aaron! read more

I love this salon! I've been here twice, and both times I had great stylists who were able to interpret my vague descriptions of what type of hair cut I wanted and provide amazing haircuts. I forgot the name of the first stylist but she's usually one of the two that work on Tuesdays. She was great! I just went in today and saw Zee and he's also amazing! I asked Zee to give me a pixie/punk-ish/short-on-the-sides-long-on-the-top/textured/kinda-side-part that would go well with my crazy colored hair. It was a tall order, but Zee stepped up to the challenge. I walked in shaggy and came out chic! Thanks Zee! read more

That Covid-19 thing, remember that. No haircuts for 3+ months. I was beginning to look like the heat miser (look it up) without the red. Along comes my 20th wedding anniversary and I am in desperate need of haircut. Almost all places were closed and not even answering phones. This is were Studio 79 started to stand out. One, we used Yelp messaging to book my appointment. I love that they used technology and care about the online community. Two, the place was VERY clean and tidy. All Covid related information was easily seen and always adhered to. Three, the owner is a super nice guy with some hair cutting skills. He took the time to cut, shape, and really make my hair look great which is much better than the mop I was sporting. All-in-all a great experience and I got a great haircut. This is a small business owner and I will be back to make sure my dollars speak for me, not just a Yelp review! read more

PSA: the quality of your haircut is highly dependent on your hair stylist. I've been visiting Jerry for over a year and can say with certainty that he is one of the most meticulous and impressive hair artists I have ever come across. The cuts are expensive at $45 + tax/tip, but they are well worth the investment in my opinion. As long as you have the time and patience for a thorough cut, you will come out looking and feeling good. read more

Ethan has been doing my hair for the last 3 years and always makes sure I'm completely satisfied. I go to him for color, cut and he gives really good head massages as well. He's such a nice guy too. Thank you, Ethan. read more

Studio 79 - My hair went from a dry ash blonde balayage to a shiny chocolate brown. Thanks, Ethan. - Hair Salons Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

Love studio 79, the place just screams quality. Made an appointment with Michelle again to get to my hair cut, she does amazing work . Everytime i go in, i get a warm welcome. Despite the fact that i don't get my hair cut very often, Michelle can still remember me and how i would like my hair to be styled. They wash your hair and condition it when you come in. Then you can tell that Michelle really makes an effort to make sure you leave satisfied, she takes her time and works meticulously to make sure every hair is in its place. She makes sure to get feedback from you during and after the hair cut, which ensures that you get your hair styled in the way that you want. After your hair is cut, they take you to the back for one last rinse and wash; this ensures that you dont leave the salon feeling itchy with clippings of hair still stuck to your head. At which point your hair dresser will blowdry and restyle your hair. The prices are fair, $45 for men and $55 for women. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants their hair done right. The location is big enough, the service is excellent, the hair dressers are friendly, and the location is neat, clean, and well furnished. I will be back soon :) read more

Studio 79 - Hair by michelle, I was very pleased with my haircut :) - Hair Salons Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

It is hard to travel here to get a haircut now, so I can't always come here anymore, but Jerry still does my hair best when I do make the trek out. My 5 star rating still stands after all these years. read more

I needed to find a new hair salon, since many of the salons I've been to in the past weren't particularly great, so I decided to check out Studio 79 because of all the great reviews. I made an appointment with Jerry after seeing his work here on Yelp. Came in and was offered water or espresso while I wait. Small things like that really add to the experience of a high end salon. The salon itself was very nice and clean and had a modern feel and open layout. As for the haircut, I came in with a rough idea of what I wanted. I showed Jerry a photo that kind of resembled what I had in mind. I further asked for his opinion and he started giving some ideas and suggestions as to what he was gonna do and how he would make it work for me. When it came to cutting my hair, Jerry was very precise and took his time in getting the look that I wanted. The end result was even better than I expected. In addition to the haircut, I also got highlights. I wanted to do silver highlights, but Jerry let me know that this might not be possible on the first try because my hair was so dark. But he said he would try to get it as close as possible. In the end, my hair came out to an ash grey color with a little bit of silver, and I absolutely love it. I didn't think ash grey would be as good as silver, but I ended up liking it a lot more. Overall my experience here at Studio 79 was a very positive one. After searching for a good hair salon and stylist for so long, I've finally found one that I will definitely be coming back to. Thank you Jerry for the awesome cut and color! read more

Totally not going here again was very over price the look is nice very pleasant environment how ever it's all guys here I didn't see any women if that's ur thing totally a go to place for you. The guy just cut my hair didn't style it or offer to; he didn't really do much but again I always try to have high expectations and the place seemed nice maybe it was just me lol. read more

Thank you Ivy for making my eyelashes so natural, I need you next time, come back soon, super happy

It is my first time to get a hair cut here. Aaron did a great job. And the place is clean. Would recommend and come back again.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Aaron! He literally gives you exactly what you want and he realllyyy takes his time. I know compared to other salons when cutting hair they section bigger pieces to get the job done quicker but Aaron was sooo detail oriented and was sectioning off inch by inch. My hairs thick too so it was a lengthy process but he stuck with it. Plus these layers are PHENOMENAL. I showed my friends the picture inspiration for my cut and they responded "you showed him the picture, and your hairdresser said 'here let me make it better'". LOL. No but he was also super nice and helpful during the whole thing. He kept giving me advice on how to get the look I want, what products to use, and secret information that hairdressers won't tell you lol. This is definitely worth every single penny I paid and I'm happy that I found my forever salon shop! read more

Today is my first appointment with Jerry. Even though he was running late. But I felt the end result of my haircut is well worth it. He was apologetic that he kept me waiting. He is very thorough with the cut, he kept asking questions about what I wanted. I got the exact haircut that I wanted. I would definitely make another appointment with him in the future. Thanks Jerry :) read more

Today I had my first experience here at Studio 79, and it was fantastic! I first came in at 11- as a walk in. They were pretty busy for the time being, but squeezed me in at 2. **NOTE** Schedule an appointment before hand, it will be really helpful. Aaron guided me and helped me decide which look was right for me. He lead me step by step with what he was doing with my hair. While handling my hair, he was very gentle. Reminding me exactly why he cut what he did. The total for my cut was $65. Pricey but worth it. I love my new style! read more

Michelle Lin is great. She took her time and always courteous. Place is nice and clean. Highly recommended!!! Make sure you ask for Michelle. read more

This place is great! In all honesty, Michelle probably gave me the best haircut of my life. The whole experience from start to finish was great. First I sat down and went through some ideas I had on my phone and we found the perfect solution for my hair type. I got a shampoo and conditioner treatment then was brought back to the chair for the cut which ended up going above and beyond my expectations. This is the first time I truly feel like my hair was done correctly, she completely understood the type it is and she did great! The only down side is that she wasnt able to do a bald fade. I would have easily paid extra for a barbershop fade in the salon, but I honestly dont mind going to my regular barber on my own just because of how clean the haircut is! read more

I went in to dye my hair as close to ash brown as possible. It's hard for my hair, as I have natural jet black hair. Jessie was a true magician in her technique. She worked her way around my hair with small highlights and then toned it down with the right ash brown I wanted. She was super focused and cares about her work. I'd definitely go back. read more

Made an appointment during pandemic times with Aaron. Very clean and masks on the entire time. More importantly, great haircut with style. I am very picky on haircuts and this was a good one. Would recommend. read more

Cozy environment, clean and comfortable. Michelle Lin is a great artist. She is patient, detailed, and optimistic stylist. She took good care of me since the moment I walked in Studio 79. Unlike other salons having assistant washing my hair, she did everything on her own yet with great attention to details. The whole experience was pleasurable and satisfying. I don't like to give detail instructions to where to trim or cut. All I said was simple yet with a little style and she delivered a great style for me. Even my girlfriend saw my hair and said she really likes what the stylist had done. Michelle is not chatty like some of the stylists but she could carry a good conversation. She has a very positive mind set and I really enjoy having her as my stylist. definitely will go back for her next time!! read more

I've always had anxiety when getting my haircut because almost no one in this world follows your instruction. You want it 1 inch? They cut 2, You show them a picture but they do their own thing anyway it drives you crazy! Sometimes all you want is a little fix but they go ahead and shave the hell out of it.. BUT NOT in this Salon, at least not for Marissa. When I saw her grab the shears first instead of the electric razor I knew I came to the right place. She was very detailed, precise and she takes her time on every side. She gave me a nice scalp massage and pointers how to take care of my hair. Given my hair is already receding so it's not really an easy project to fix but I showed her a picture and she did it anyway and I'm very satisfied of the outcome. Their check-in promo is expired and it does get very pricey for someone who gets a haircut very often but you get what you pay for - seriously.. you do read more

Finally got a haircut in a long time. Looks great thanks! A++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Jerry is awesome! Talented, detailed oriented, and you can tell he really enjoys his job. I highly recommend him since I am very picky and my expectations are usually very high. read more

My hair was up to my waist and long over due for a cut. Aaron did exactly what I wanted, he layered my hair and cut off all the damaged parts. My hair feels so much healthier and lighter. His cuts are precise and natural I was surprised at how fast the overall hair cut was. I would recommend and come back in the future. read more

Got a hair cut by Aron, not bad but not good enough to worth $60 ( plus tips). No one notices I got a haircut even my boyfriend. Nothing special... Don't understand why so many outstanding review 2 months after my cut, my brother went to there and had a hair cut by Aron, too. He has the same thought with me.. read more

A Great Salon, I Highly Recommend. I have been to Studio 79 a number of times now and I am always very pleased with the service from Jerry (my stylist) and the entire Studio 79 staff. read more

Don't let the photos scare you: I'm a simple Asian girl who wanted a standard haircut (side swept bangs, layers, V-shape in the back) and got the best haircut... OF MY LIFE. It is pricey ($60/cut for long hair) especially compared to the other Asian places in the area, but you really do get what you pay for. (Added to the excellent hair cut were the offer of beverages, a shampoo, moisture treatment, and friendly/pleasant staff.) Jerry was fantastic!! He asked lots of questions until he had a good idea of what cut I wanted. He also gave me tips about styling my hair and recommended products to use. During the cut, he was very careful and meticulous. At the end, he encouraged me to call and set up a follow-up appointment if I found anything I didn't like over the next week. Definitely appreciated the (unnecessary) gesture. Finally, the interior's worth noting: dark wood floors, black ceiling, white walls, recessed lighting... loved it! Yelp got this one right for sure!!! read more

I had a very rare, but serious, bout of poutiness due to a near-hair crisis (it wasn't bad at all, the hair I mean). I should start by saying that I got a haircut, fairly drastic, from ridiculously long to short, by my trusted stylist who knew me, knew my style, and probably couldn't imagine I would be comfortable with a hairdo so drastically shorter and edgier than what he gave me. And the day after my haircut, new years eve, the day of my friend's wedding, I found myself in a ridiculous state of depression that my hair wasn't as short as I felt comfortable having it. I even called the salon my regular stylist is at - he wouldn't be in that day or the next, and he may not be able to fit me in the day before I left for New York. I searched on yelp (THANK YOU guys!!!) and found Studio79 was the highest rated and incredibly close to home. I hesitated straying from my stylist, and even more unsure about going to one I didn't know to do something more drastic with my hair. I was driving home from an errand though, and Studio79 would be on the way. I reasoned with myself, trusting fate. If they could take a walkin, it was meant to be, if not, you will have to just accept it, crazy woman! I walked in, and poor, poor Jerry walked up to great me. I should paint this picture for you: my hair was undone (ie: literally rolled out of bed) in all crazy directions and I was in sweats and beat up shoes. I was somehow able to relay my semi-sob story to him about wanting it shorter. He looked over my hair. "Even shorter?" he asked. "Yes," I said like a crazy person. "You know like Miley Cyrus' new short hair? "...uuh...no?...That Hannah Montana girl?" It was cute. I showed him pictures of a cross between that and another style. The problem was though, I came in 30 minutes before his 3'o clock and he didn't want to make her wait, and didn't want to rush through my cut and mess it up. A stylist - nay, a person! - who is so considerate of all parties, gets a gold star in my book. But he sat me in the chair, ran his hands through my hair - either appreciative of my regular stylist's skill or hesitant about giving me such a drastic cut - asked me "are you sure you really want to cut it?" Yes. Yes. Yes. He looked through his schedule book - I couldn't do it when he had an opening later in that day, and they weren't open the next day. And did I tell you? Semi-hair crisis was happening? Save for actually twisting his arm, I begged him to cut it. "It's like a boys hair! You can do it quick! You don't have to wash it, just soak it!" "But then you won't have the full experience!" "I DON'T WANT THE FULL EXPERIENCE, I JUST NEED IT CUT!!" He laughed and broke. "Well....maybe she will be late." Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!! And let me tell you, he was quick but gentle with the wash (still insisted on conditioning my hair), and made sure multiple times how short I wanted it, and what I wanted to leave untouched. I didn't know clipper numbers, but when Aaron came in, I pointed at his head and said "like that!" He laughed and said, "okay, then I definitely need to shave it off." Bzzzzzzz. And he was careful, and thorough, and made sure everything worked with the new shorter length - even though he could have rushed through and not done a complete job (and I wouldn't have blamed him). I felt comfortable right when I met him that he would be able to deliver what I wanted. I asked him if he would ever tell a client what they wanted was a bad idea and talk them out of it. "Well, I would try to make it work, but sometimes when they really want it, I just have to do it." Clearly, directed at me, but somehow talking to him made me sure what I wanted would come out okay. On top f that, he was fun, and amazingly and completely sweet about the situation, both of us finding humor in it. His 3'o clock was a little late, but when she walked in, he apologized, I apologized - we still had to make her wait a little longer to make sure the cut he gave me was up to his high standards. So again, 3'o clock girl with the long hair, I'm sorry you had to wait. It really was completely my fault you were asked to wait longer. But I was enveloped in this ridiculous crisis that the sane part of me knew wasn't so bad, yet the other part of me in the throws of some awkward limbo-hair depression. When he wrapped me up, I loved it, of course. He chuckled and said he'd charge me the men's price ($45), again he could have charged me for the women's for the trouble I caused, or you know, because I'm a girl, but he didn't. Awesome. I'm fairly loyal to my regular stylist, but I absolutely will not hesitate at all to recommend Jerry to anyone - even seeking a more drastic do. He's got great skill, character, and personality. He can speak Taiwanese, and Aaron can speak Mandarin. Go! Have fun! And enjoy the Nespresso machine. read more

First off the decor in this place is very cool! The barbers looked sharp and they had some comfy looking leather seats in front. Three people were getting their haircut and no one was waiting. I showed up at 3pm on a Sunday. No one said "hello" or "hi" instead they one of the barbers just looked at me. I asked if they took walk ins. One of the barbers told me they were kinda busy and went back to cutting hair. It's my day off and I had nothing to do. I could have waited 3 hours I wasn't in any kind of rush. This place needs to work on customer service. Just a simple "hello" can go a long way. read more

This review is purely for a haircut. I just had my haircut done by Ethan recently. He was very friendly and approachable. He definitely took his time giving me the cut. I'm not sure if he is new/ inexperienced???! That I came out with a pretty messed up haircut.. Meaning it's pretty screwed. I admit that I'm very picky when it comes to hair dresser, but I haven't been this disappointed in awhile. He left a part of my hair weirdly chopped... I can't really explain so here I attached a picture. He also textures my hair a bit TOO MUCH that I'm left with vey little hair. It just really sucks that my wedding is coming up in 3 months and am left with very little hair for styling. Try this place at your own risk. You might like it, but I didn't enjoy this experience at all. Money wasted and hair ruined read more

Studio 79 - Weirdly chopped hair... I could have done a better job myself using a pair of kitchen scissor - Hair Salons Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

This is pretty much my go to spot for haircuts now. I have gotten a haircut from every single person here and I have to say the whole team is amazing! Jessie usually cuts my hair and she does a fantastic job, and so does Aaron and Jerry. Actually got tons of compliments after the most recent haircut and were referring people here. I never had to wait for my appointments and was always seated immediately. Keep it up! read more

First time coming here because I wanted to try a new and completely different look. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful to me and to other guests as to what they wanted to do with their hair and the look they were going for. Another guest there was getting their hair colored and it looked amazing, too. My appointment was with Jerry, and he was very professional and casual; a very cool guy. He asked questions, took the time to figure out what i wanted and what would be best for me, and I left with exactly what I wanted. Definitely recommended! read more

Thanks you Aaron for fixing my hair! He didn't charge me an arm and leg to fix it either like some places. IF you read my past reviews you knew what I was going through. My roots were dark and I just wanted it a little lighter to match the ash blonde when I came in. The ombre lines needed to be blended in more so it wouldn't look so harsh. Aaron directed Marissa (sorry if I messed up the name!) in fixing my hair and it turned out great! She was so friendly and the hair massage during the FREE color treatment was soooo nice! I will stop being lazy and make the drive to Rowland to get my hair done. I really like how he cuts my hair and I appreciate that he takes the time to sit and talk with me about my hair. Aaron saw my hair before I attempt to fix it, so he knows the ordeal I had to go through and helped me list the steps on how to get it fixed. 5 stars for helping me not having to wear a bun everyday! read more
