The Absolute Best Hair Layerer in Rochester!! My hair was flat due to a haircut went wrong at another place but I came to Thanh and she was awesome. Fixed everything within 30 minutes while using the best products on me. She was also so caring and funny. Thanh took pride in her work and even instructed you how to maintain the style just with a dryer at home. 15/10 would definitely recommend, the woman fixed my life read more

Came here for my first time ever, as Thanh was recommending by my friend. I got a wash, cut and style and was so happy with the results! I've never had a bob before in my life but Thanh delivered and cut it so quickly. She was able to bring so much life and volume to my hair. Thanh is very nice and her salon is very clean and modern. There's always so many people waiting to get a haircut. Highly recommend coming here for a cut! Def make a reservation beforehand though. read more

Thanh's Hair Design performed a digital perm on me, the lady who did it was very professional and really listened to my requests (I wanted very curly hair). I've been having perms for ten years already, and have been to multiple salons across the west coast and east coast. This is truly one of the best perms I've gotten so far, and scheduling was a breeze! I'd highly recommend! read more

Thanh was great, she just looked at my hair and shaped it in amazing layers. Would definitely go back.

Me and my wife always come here at Thanh's hair studio because she cuts our hair like no one else in our area. Our drive is 2 hours away to her shop and we don't mind the drive because she cuts our hair nicely. Loved her place since she just renovated the place. We give her 5 stars. read more

First time here with straight Asian hair, they helped me so much to find my hair style, extremely friendly staff, and great hair styling. Went out of their way to make sure I was happy. read more

Thanh did a fantastic job with my hair. It's hard for me to find someone that can curl my hair and make it hold. I have very silky south asian hair and most people don't know how to style it. Thanh was very sweet as soon as I arrived. We connected very well which is very important in a customer facing business. I showed Thanh a picture of the type of hair style I was looking for and she did just that. I came in with very flat uneven hair. And she corrected it and divided it from the center and gave me beautiful layers. As soon as you walk into her salon, you will greeted and she will share her wifi with you while you wait for your haircut. She is very mindful of your time and make sure you get your perfect look. read more

I have had my haircut here multiple times now and Thanh always does a great job. It's hard to find someone who can cut men's asian hair well especially with different fashion cuts and color. I live over an hour outside of town and travel in every three or four weeks to get my hair done. She even managed to fix my hair once when someone else messed it up. Will always be a patron as long as she is open! read more

I've went here two times before and I can say that this business is rather like a casino, if you pay a large amount they will treat you very kindly and sweet talk you, if you pay for a small amount they will either be rather cold or try to change your mind on what you want and try to get you to pay for a bigger cut. On my second experience here I got one of the worst haircut treatments ever, I asked for just a bit of a trim on my bangs since they started to grow out in front of my face and when I sat down the lady who was going to cut my hair gave me a whole new hair style and charged me for the service she decided to give me when all I asked for was a trim on my bangs. The people who work here barely listen to what you want and just do as they please with your hair and decide to charge you for the expenses of what you didn't ask to pay for. I've got to say this has been the worst experience with a hairdresser I've had in a while, they chopped off a giant part of my hair's length and then charged me for the damage they decided to do. The people who work here are very discreet on asking what you want done with your hair and do not tell you what they are going to do with your hair before starting. I was never told they were going to give me a whole different haircut and that's what sucks about this business. You can see the before and after pictures of my hair and you can see that they did not just give me a trim on my bangs, they gave me a whole different hairstyle. The only reason this place isn't geting a full one star is because it's true that they have rather good layering, it's hard for me to find places where the employees know how to layer hair, but all and all, worst experience ever. read more

I have been going here for 12 years. Thanh has always cut and dyed my hair exactly how I want. She also does my eye brows. She is the only place I go. read more

This was, without question, the worst salon experience I've ever had. The owner and her daughter were incredibly unprofessional, spending the majority of my appointment gossiping in the corner and giving me rude, judgmental looks. When I showed her the style I wanted, she completely disregarded it and insisted on something entirely different, claiming it would look better, despite my clear preferences. When I politely declined, she became even more condescending, continuing to gossip with her daughter as if I wasn't even there. The lack of respect, courtesy, and basic professionalism was astounding. I've never felt so uncomfortable and disrespected at any service. I would never recommend this salon to anyone. read more

Thanh's Hair Design is my new go-to place for a quick and inexpensive haircut. A men's cut without wash is $11, which is on par with your chain salon (Great Clips, Hairzoo, Supercuts) prices, but with a much better outcome. Thanh takes her time with your haircut and does not rush to get the next customer in the chair. I'd like to think of myself as "low-maintenance" and i'm not very picky, but I think Thanh does a great job. I'll be back. read more

I came here to have my hair dyed, but Thanh kept insisting that she would also cut my hair. I said "No, thank you" multiple times, but much to my surprise, she snipped some hair on the back of my head while I was busy responding to a work e-mail on my phone. At that point, I felt like I had no choice but to agree to a haircut, since she had already cut out a chunk of my hair in the back. However, I told her I only wanted a trim of a few cm, no more than 1 inch, because I prefer my hair long. She ended up cutting more than 6 inches for the length (in less than 5 minutes), and one side was 2-3 inches shorter than the other side. I can live with the shorter-than-expected length, but when I mentioned that one side looked longer, she said my hair looked great and kept dismissing my concerns. I paid her and left, but when I got home, it was very noticeable that one side was a few inches shorter than the other. I went back and politely asked her if she could trim the length on the side that was a few inches longer than the other side. I understand that mistakes can happen and I just wanted my hair to be fixed so that it wasn't all wonky anymore. I was honestly really surprised at how argumentative and aggressive Thanh was. She kept telling me that she disagreed with me and that I was wrong. She kept telling me to look at the mirror because my hair was perfect and even. WOW! She needs to get glasses. I posted a picture here as proof. This is what Thanh considers to be a perfect and even haircut. This place should be called Thanh's Hair NIGHTMARES. It looks like I'll have to hire someone else to fix my hair since Thanh wouldn't fix, much less acknowledge or apologize, for her horrible and uneven haircut. I didn't even want a haircut in the first place! read more

I've been coming for a long time with my mom we love it here she is a great hair stylist.

Thanh did an amazing job. She is obviously an expert in her profession, knew right away what I wanted and made recommendations along the way, which I appreciated. read more

She's the best hairstylist for me here in Rochester and will never go anywhere else . And I really recommend her.

I've been coming here for years and if you're of asian decent like I am, you'll know how hard it is to find someone who knows how to cut through the thick head of hair I carry in a way I can style it without a problem. Haircuts usually take a little longer than your normal hair salon because it's the owner and her assistant but she does do walk ins and its totally worth it. At $10 a cut for mens, it's very affordable! Give this place a try! You won't be disappointed! read more

She did a great job and Thanh's Hair Design is my new go-to place from now on. read more

I came here for my first ever Rochester haircut! I generally get my hair cut when I visit NYC, since the folks in Flushing really know Asian hair and do a great job without breaking the bank. Thanh (or Leena, as she is also called) saves me that trip all the way down to the city! She has been cutting hair for 25 years, 10 of which were here in the US. She's got confidence in her technique, and plenty of sass to match. I saw that a lot of people brought in photos of haircuts to show her. She knows what looks good, and how to make it happen. She keeps a nice conversation going during your appointment. I called the morning of (on a Friday) and got an afternoon appointment. I'd imagine it gets way easier during after work hours, so plan ahead. read more

I have been going to Lina for a few years now, and she's always done a great job. She's had 27 years of experience, particularly with Asian hair. It's a relatively small establishment with 3-4 chairs for haircuts. Usually it's her and another stylist running the place. I came recently on a Sunday around noon and the place was packed. There are a few seats for you to sit while waiting. She's really good and fast so her work quality is not compromised by the time crunch. I'm usually presentable after the haircut, which says a lot about her work. It's usually $13 before tips. There's street parking but I usually park at the lot at the street corner where the restaurants are. read more

It's my first time got a haircut at Thanh's and surely will come back! I told her that I wanted a stylist hairstyle that easy to style and maintain. She recommended a hair style that suit my hair type, cut my hair, and style it with her fingers and hair dryer, no brush! She showed me how easy to style my hair now. She gave me a quick hands-on lesson on styling my hair too. She's awesome! I absolutely love my new hair. Will come back soon for highlights. read more

I was looking for an affordable place to get my hair cut and went to yelp and found this place. Specifically, I was looking for a salon that had experience cutting Asian hair. My hair was very long and dying because of many bleached treatments in the past year. I have very thin and fine hair, so I was looking to keep some length while also adding layers to make it look more voluminous. First parking is definitely a hassle. Plan to arrive 10 minutes early just to find parking on the street. I walked in and was greeted very politely. She asked if I had pictures of what I wanted and she seemed very confident of achieving it. She showed me a previous cut that she did for a client recently and it looked very similar to what I wanted so I was very optimistic off the bat. They washed my hair first. Not the best hair wash I've received, but for the price I wasn't complaining too much. I do wish they were a little more gentle combing my hair after the wash though. The cut probably only took like 20 minutes and I was very pleased with the results! My hair looks fully and healthier. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

If you're of Asian descent like me, you know how difficult it is to find a hairstyle that can deal with spiky unruly hair. That is why this place has been a god send for me. When I first went here over 5 years ago and got my first haircut from Lina, I knew that I was going to be a customer for life. Lina is a master of her craft. She is the owner here and she has been cutting hair professionally for decades. She has a keen eye and an amazing knack for matching the hairstyle and cut to an individual's face. If you know what you want, then she will cut it to your liking and match it to the shape of your face to give you the best look possible. If you don't, then she can recommend a look that would best match your style/face. This kind of skill can only come from many years of experience and training, and she has an abundance of it. The price here is very decent, and for the quality of your cut, it can't be beat. If you compare the prices here to other Asian salons, you'll see that this is the better deal. Lina has cut my wife's hair many times now, and she gets compliments from co-workers and friends every time. Parking can be an issue at times. I usually park in the lot across the street where ocean garden is, but if it's busy you'll have to find street parking. My advice is to go during the week days, and not the weekend. Due to Lina being such a great hair stylish, she is absolutely swamped during the weekends. I would recommend that you call and make an appointment first before going in. read more

She did really good hair cut for both me and my sister, and she is friendly. If you want a hair cut just go to her place.

First just want to say that I am soooo happy with my cut, color, and mani/pedi! Than did a great job! I was hesitant to step out of my big salon comfort zone to get an on the fly cut and color- but Than totally blew me away with her talent! Not only did she do a phenomenal job with my hair, but squeezed in an eyebrow wax and a mani/pedi! I'm so pleased! read more

I dislike writing negative reviews but as this is my second time going to this salon, I feel I need to. The first time I went, I did read some reviews on this salon of being clear of what you wanted and showing pics of exact hair styles since sometimes the hairstylists will cut hair the way they want it. So I came prepared to show Lina the cut I wanted. When I showed her mulitple pictures of the length and cut, she said she knew exactly what I wanted and went to work. Though the haircut was professional and she knew what she was doing, she definitely did the haircut the way she thought it would look good on me. From the pictures I showed her, it clearly showed an A-line bob of just above my shoulders but instead she cut it a lot shorter to my chin. After mourning the loss of my hair and dealing with the shorter hair, I thought I would give her the benefit of a doubt. Anyway, fast forward 4 months later, I really needed a trim as my hair was growing out unruly. I should have learnt from my mistake but as seeing it was the only salon that cuts Asian hair here in Rochester that I know of, I decided to give her a second chance. I made the assumption of her knowing what a trim meant and she said she would put a few layers in it. Unfortunately this didn't happen, and I ended up with a haircut even shorter than the previous time. I probably should have stopped her half way when she proceeded to cut the back with a razor but I am one of those polite customers who doesn't like to interrupt people at work. It was like my worst nightmare come true but I know hair will grow out. What was worst was when I told her it was supposed to be for a trim, she said "why don't I like it this length" since she thought it looks cute. Then she tells me to come back 4 months later and she will make sure to cut it not so short so I can grow it out. Unbelievable! Anyway, I am so regretting my decision now to give this salon a second chance since they do know how to cut Asian hair and it seems they are the only one in Rochester who specify in it via Yelp. Despite it being an affordable and professional haircut, I will be in search of another hairsalon. read more

Are you an Asian male with slightly out-of-control hair especially when it gets long? Have you had trouble finding someone who knows how to style and trim your long beautiful Asian locks? Have you felt nervous or anxious when a previous non-Asian haircut person picked up and turned on a clipper and proceeded to buzz off the top part of your hair? Have you felt disappointed when 1-3 weeks after a fresh decent haircut, your Asian hair starts to grow unevenly and become progressively more out-of-control? Are you tired of paying to pay more than $20 for a haircut that is mediocre at best? Does your haircut person get befuddled by the beauty and gravity-defying nature of your Asian hair? Are you still going for haircuts at Supercuts? (How's that working for you?) Do you have no choice but to put on hats after each haircut in hopes of accelerating your hair growth? Do you ever wish there was a UNDO button that lets you reverse your decision to walk in the door of that turned-out-to-be-terrible haircut shop? If any of these apply to you... and if you're an Asian person... Thanh's Hair Design is the solution to all of your problems. Great quality, affordable, accessible, and friendly!! read more

Thanh (Lina) is amazing. I had my first appointment with her today for a thorough cut and a few foils. One of the best haircuts I've ever had, if not the best. Her cutting and razor techniques are awesome and she did a great job with the color too. Definitely will be seeing her regularly as she is a true master at her craft and a good cut is everything. read more

I think she did not listen what the customer really want, and did what she thought 'suitable' for me! The fastest and most rough haircut I have ever experienced. read more

I was so happy that she was open on Monday, since many of the other Southwedge salons are not. My daughter had her hair cut really really short, and we knew it would be a big shock to her classmates! But thanks to Lina and her wonderful fashion sense, my little girl now looks like a fashion model, and she got TONS of compliments today at school from both teachers AND students. In fact, I was so delighted with the incredible look Lina gave my daughter's new haircut, that I let her cut and style MY hair, too! and my boyfriend had his hair cut as well. All three of us are thrilled, and we will be back at Lina's when it's time for the next cut. She offers other services, too; like getting your eyebrows threaded. read more
