    This is my third time coming with Min. I love her and her work. The place is clean and the vibes are amazing. I love my Japanese perm that last me . The before and after is incredible. My hair is shined and healthy even after a good long chemical process. I highly recommend everyone to come here for any service. The other staff is so sweet and everyone offers you food and beverages. They truly care about you like if you are their friend. Sweet people that deserve the world. This business needs to be brought for the world to see. Thank you Min for perming my hair before I started high school to now for my graduation. I love you and your work and cute doggy too!

    Bye-bye pandemic hair
    Hanna R.

    I'm embarrassed to say I have not gone into a hair salon since pre-pandemic. I thought I was being smart by cutting my own hair to save money. That's until the last time I chopped my hair off, it was left uneven no matter how hard I tried to fix it. I guess it didn't help that I have very thick hair, with a mind of its own. After casually searching for a salon for months (that felt like years), I finally got introduced to this place through my Mom, who found out through some of her church fam. It appears they have been regulars at this salon for years. We came in at 12:30pm today (with an appointment) and was seated right away which was nice! I've been to many salons where I would wait despite making an appointment. There were two ladies running the salon and I'm allllmost sure the lady we got referred to is the owner of the salon (I wish I got her name, I'll def get it next time). She was so kind and knew exactly how to get my crazy hair back in line. While she was working her magic on my hair, she freely gave tips on how to blow dry/comb my hair which I appreciated so much! I am so satisfied with this place and thrilled to put an end to my pandemic haircuts.

    She did SOOOOOO good for my hair! I asked for a lot of layers!! Her dog is so cute and she is so sweet! I'm so glad she kept the length of my hair because usually when I ask for layers, my hair gets shorter! But with way layers + styled with curls, my hair is still the same length!

    I made an appointment online to see Min! I wanted to get a straightening treatment to tame my crazy Simba mane lol I have course, frizzy hair lol Min washed my hair and determined that I couldn't do the treatment because I still had old bleach in my hair. So instead of the treatment, we decided to do a haircut to help with the shape. My hair was longer on one side and needed to be evened out. Min did a good job with the cut and made it look a lot better.

    Always does such a great job with my son's haircut!

    Min is the best! Excellent hairdresser, always a great cut. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend

    Found this place going through yelp I was very interested in getting a Japanese straightening treatment and I'm so glad I found this salon. The owner was very nice and welcoming she started taking care of me as soon as I walked through the door.(: I appreciate her patience and time with me as this is my first time getting this treatment and first time getting a professional service in a long time so I was nervous . my hair turned out so pretty. I will definitely be back to get my touchups with her. Thanks again

She took me last minute without hesitation and truly made me feel like a priority. She listened to exactly what I wanted, paid attention to every detail, and completely delivered.

    PERM DID NOT TAKE -- MANAGEMENT BALMED MY "HAIR CANVAS" INSTEAD OF SERVICE!!…read more I'm severely disappointed with my experience at Salon Technique in Fullerton. I went in for a spiral perm with clear reference photos and left with a result that did not match what was discussed and was assured was possible. Within weeks, the curl continued to fall out, and at this point there is very little curl remaining--even with styling products; what a loss of $460! After multiple attempts to follow up with Pamela Coryell the owner and Piage their "perm specialists", I did not receive any timely responses from either. When Pamela did finally reply, my concerns were dismissed and the outcome was blamed on my "hair canvas", including claims that my ends were lightened and too porous. This is simply not accurate--my hair is NOT colored, and I have had previous spiral perms which held well 8+ months and have matched the spiral perm look requested. To be certain I was not off my rocker, I had another salon in evaluate my hair that very same week I got the perm, and they confirmed the perm did not properly take, did not reflect what was asked for and they said I should be refunded. What's most disappointing is the lack of accountability from Salon Technique. Instead of acknowledging that the service fell short, the responsibility was redirected onto me the client! I requested multiples times for a refund and was denied and the only offer sent back was that I could return and re-perm little ares here and there with no promise that they would take! UNBELIEVABLE - I'm sharing this so others can make an informed decision. My experience says beware and do not go here. I expected professionalism and accountability, and unfortunately this salon does not hold to this level of professionalism. UPDATE 4/25/2026 JUST RECEIVED A SPIRAL PERM FROM Avy The Curly Girly at a different salon in Fullerton and I got EXACTLY what I asked for (see photo) and to boot... for way less! Dear Salon Owner Pamela and Paige it is NOT my "canvas" that's the issue!

She also provides great product recommendations. Lena's salon is petite and cute, but it feels spacious enough since she usually has one customer at a time. Lena has a gentle and sweet approach to hair, making recommendations without feeling like they're being forced on you. I really appreciate that. She has done a great job dying my mom's hair, which seems to be her speciality, but I've also really loved having my hair cut by her. The products she uses smell very good. I believe she is able to speak in Korean, Spanish, and English. Highly recommend her services!

Incredibly patient, always wonderful, never needed more than a description to know exactly what I wanted. One thing to know going in is that Ashley keeps it real with you. Once you understand that, you realize it is actually one of her best qualities because it means she is completely focused on your hair. I moved and tried to save the drive. My hair paid for that. I rolled the dice on a local salon and asked for a soft natural look on my dark hair. They bleached 80% of my head. Went back to fix it. Came out looking like a tiger. Orange, blonde, dark brown, black, all at once. Went back a third time. Left fully orange. My hair was nearly beyond repair. I reached out to Ashley. She had me come in for a consultation on a Wednesday, saw the damage in person, saw my inspiration picture, and was shocked. We booked that same Friday. She blow dried between every round to check the tone. Never rushed once. Fed me her favorite Korean snacks and got me completely hooked. By the end of that night she nailed it. The color, the softness, the health Not many stylists can lift naturally dark hair, correct that level of bleach damage, and preserve the hair all at once. That is a rare skill.

The perm procedure took place (slightly different from the traditional, normal straight perm process since she did the neutralizer step while my hair was soaking wet dipped in their washbowl.) She also cut my wet hair while it was still soaking wet immediately after rinsing my hair post the breaking bonds step, instead of blow drying and flat ironing it (other places cuts ur hair while its dry). After she blow dried my hair after the final rinse, she charged me $270, different from the price she gave me at the start of the process saying "haircut itself is like +$30." I won't ever be returning due to this scammy malpractice *** update below: I told her that I prefer English but doesn't mean my Korean sucks which would cause miscommunication in the pricing. I was never communicated in either Korean or English that the price was an estimate, I was given a solid price no range or the word "about" was used during the call. I was never informed before the service that there would be extra steps in the service due to my hair condition - this should have been communicated before so I can decide whether or not I'd be able to pay the extra $20, instead of receiving upcharge price after all those additional "steps & curls" which I never asked for. The curls could have been done with a curling iron myself after the cut + perm, I never asked for permanent curls. I never had a single bad of this experience at any hair salon. I am honestly hoping for a hair undo and refund/my money back if possible

Pro tip for the fellas: Take a second to look at the haircut gowns before you dive in. I managed to squeeze myself into a very petite, very leopard-print woman's gown. Judy and I had a laugh once she realized I was rocking a look that was... well, a bit tighter than intended.

She cuts my 2yo boys hair soo well. She is also so sweet and great with babies. So patient and has a quick hand, so she doesn't make mistakes even when they move. Also my toddler remembered from the previous salon that they gave him a lollipop after his haircut was finished, but this one didn't have any so I told him they ran out. But the Judy was so nice and went back, and remembered some lollipops from her bag and gave him some!! he was overjoyed loll It's so hard to find a good place to take baby boys, and I'm so glad I found her again and will be her forever customer. Also, cost is very reasonable for kids and men's cuts and it's worth it for all that's included. For women, it's on the lower end pricing for a Korean salon. Highly recommend Judy for all your hair needs!!
