I had a great experience at Aki's hair salon!…read more I have a lot of hair but fine hair strands so it can be a like a thin-to-medium thickness when I put it in a ponytail. I prefer to keep it long and low maintenance since I don't style it often and wear it natural. I asked for a blunt cut with a little bit of face framing, no layers, and I wanted it to look thicker without adding layers since layers always thin out my hair. Additionally, I specifically wanted an Asian hairstylist who really understood my Filipino hair and I'm so glad I found Aki. She understood exactly what I wanted immediately after telling her and showing her a couple of photos of girls who had the same texture, thickness, and type of hair as I have. I really appreciate that she didn't wash my hair before the haircut. I prefer dry haircuts because it's easier for both the hairstylist and me to see how my hair will look in its natural, every day state since I don't style my hair often and wear it down most of the time. She did a dry haircut and intercutting so I left with the exact haircut I wanted -- low maintenance, trimmed off about three inches, blunt cut with a touch of face framing pieces, and it looks SO much healthier and thicker without adding layers that would have thinned out my hair even more!! It looks so nice in its natural state just the way it is. She really took her time and was very precise. I was out in just under an hour! On top of this, I appreciate that the entire time I was there, she did not try to upsell me on any products, and she understood that my natural hair is nice the way it is and only needs a cut maybe once a year, which is usually what I end up doing. Thank you so much Aki for understanding what I wanted and needed! I had such a great experience and am so happy with my haircut. I'll be back in about a year! :)

Ben is seriously the best. He's so nice, accommodating, and really pays attention to detail. I didn't realize that because I had waited so long since my last appointment, I would actually need a color correction this time instead of just the root touch-up I originally booked. I felt terrible because I know that required more time and work than what I scheduled, but Ben was so understanding and still accommodated me. Even with the extra work, he was SO quick and efficient and managed to get everything done within 5 hours without sacrificing the quality at all. My balayage came out absolutely beautiful! What impresses me the most is how healthy my hair feels. I've been blonde before going to Ben, and my hair was always dry and unhealthy from the bleach. Since going to him, it's completely different. Even after getting my hair lightened, it still feels soft, healthy, and looks so shiny. You can really tell he uses high-quality products and knows how to protect the integrity of your hair. I'm so happy I found Ben and definitely trust him with my hair. I'll be coming back in 3 months this time to properly maintain my balayage so I don't wait too long again! THANK YOU BEN!!! I'm absolutely obsessed with my hair!

I wanted to get rid of my highlights and go back to a natural brunette, and Ben took the time to really understand the exact shade and tone I was looking for. He asked thoughtful questions, listened carefully, and made sure we were on the same page before getting started. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and truly cares that his clients leave happy with their results. I never felt rushed, and I appreciated how detail oriented he was throughout the entire appointment. I'm so glad I found him and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing hairstylist.

The overall vibe + the holiday decorations were so aesthetically pleasing and added to the full experience, I felt immersed in Vika's service and could tell right away she put a lot of passion into what she does! She made me feel listened to and excited, and she introduced me to some clean, natural hair care that I still need to go back and purchase from her! I took a short paper survey so she had some insight to my hair history and goals, showed her some photos and explained what I wanted, and she got right to work. I felt super comfy in her chair while she washed my hair, products smelled amazing and made my hair SO soft, she introduced me to a GHD wet to dry brush I also need to purchase now lol, and she gave me the BEST haircut I've ever had. It was exactly what I was looking for and more - I couldn't believe it was actually my hair! I made sure to book my three month appointment with her and am very excited about being a loyal client here. I've gotten so many compliments on my hair and I'm so incredibly happy with it!

She took the time to understand what I wanted (and what my wife envisioned) and executed it flawlessly. The result? An incredible haircut that both my wife and I love. The style is clean, modern, and somehow makes me look way more put together with minimal effort - which is a win in my book. Sarah's attention to detail, precision, and skill made all the difference. If you're looking for a stylist who truly knows what they're doing and makes you look and feel amazing, Sarah is the one.

Updating my review after the owner replied with lies! If a business ghosts you and tell lies,…read morethat's a big RED FLAG! I did not apply box dye to my hair after keratin. I dyed my hair on 5/6 and asked on Yelp on 5/8 and got my treatment on 5/21. I can't believe she has the audacity to reply my reviews with lies like this. I will include pics of my Yelp project as well as her reply! I caution everyone to stay away from this shady business. Original review: I was looking around for a keratin treatment in the area and narrowed down to this salon. I did my research and looked at every reviews especially the negative ones. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and boy was I wrong! I've done these keratin treatments 3 times before at 2 different salons. Every time, the results came out great! Since those salons were no longer in business, I had to look for a new place. Jane needed a consultation before the treatment so I went in on 5/13. It was a quick 5 min consultation and confirmed that I was doing the regular keratin, made an appt for the week after. She said she prefers cash and the treatment was $380. Went back to get my treatment done on 5/21. As some of the reviews said, she is not the friendly type who would chit-chat with you which I didn't mind. She did answer my questions when I asked. But yes, "with an attitude and general unfriendliness" - quoting one of the reviews. I asked her if I would be getting my hair trimmed, (as I had always got it at different salons when getting these treatment.) She said "your hair is not straight. after this treatment, you need to get a haircut!" I was confused and thought that haircut is included . Then I asked her "will you trim it? " she said "ok, I will give you a haircut after the treatment" So after the treatment, she gave me a haircut which was 15 min at most. Then she said "usually I charged $80 for a haircut, but with treatment. I will charge you $70!" she didn't say anything about the extra cost for the haircut, let alone, $70 extra!!!! She should have said that before giving me a haircut and asked me if it's ok!!! I was not happy about it but i didn't confront her, I let it go and still paid her...cash! The whole thing took a little over 2hrs, not 3.5 hrs as she lied. 2 days after, I washed my hair as told by her with the recommended shampoo! And my hair was still very curly and frizzy! I texted her, and she told me to go back to her salon and get checked by her. I went in the following week and the first thing she said was "So what did you do?" I was shocked. I did nothing. I only did what she told me to do, not wash my hair for 2 days! Then she said "I have done this for 10 yrs and you are my first complaint!" I was like "so do you think this is ok??? " this is not a complaint, it's a problem. She blamed it on the conditioner I used, even though I showed her a pic of my conditioner during the treatment and she did say the conditioner didn't matter. She blamed it on my hair type saying my hair was curly and frizzy. She said some ppl might need to do it 2 times. But if she is so experienced, she should have known during our consultation! I showed her pics of how my hair turned out great after keratin treatment before and she said "other ppl use formaldehyde and I don't " I said the most recent one I got was without formaldehyde and still worked on my hair! At the end, she said she will do it again for me but in 1.5 hr. I confirmed with her that there is no fee cause I didn't want any surprises! In the follow up appointment, she came in late and there were No apologies whatsoever!! I read a review saying how someone was late and she took it seriously! But when she is late, she acts like nothing!! At that point, I know that she does not hold responsible for the things she does wrong, as simple as being late. The treatment was actually only 1 hr, not 1.5 as she lied. When she finished, she said " this is all I can do ". And yes, her attitude has been "doing you the biggest favor in the world even though you are paying her" quoting from one of the reviews. 2 days after the treatment, I washed my hair with the recommended shampoo AND conditioner this time. It's still frizzy, dry-looking and curlier than before. Obviously the treatment didn't work! It's not giving the result that it claimed and definitely not what I wanted. I texted her, she didn't respond, 2 days later, I texted again. Nothing. I then called and realized she BLOCKED me! Yes, just as one of the reviews mentioned, she blocks you when you did nothing wrong! So yes, I got SCAMMED! I hated writing bad reviews. I wanted to support small businesses and was hoping to find a place I can go for my hair. but in return, I lost $450 (treatment plus haircut). I wish I trusted the negative reviews on this business. I am writing all this in hope that no one will get scammed like me!
