Nearing my 1 year anniversary with Travis and I couldn't have asked for a better hair stylist! These pics were taken when I first got red done on my virgin hair and I always reminisce. I originally found him when I was living in OC, and even moving back to SD, I still make the trip out there just to see him :) He does an amazing job at examining your hair according to your face shape, hair texture, etc. and will give you honestly the best. He pays attention to detail and makes every appointment worth. I'm very grateful to have found someone I trust this much with my hair. Been a pleasant experience with Travis from day one. Will always recommend read more

I've been seeing him for almost two years now since the earlier days. And I've honestly seen so much growth (from him and my hair). He's super passionate about hair and really intentional about helping you look your best. During consultations, he evaluates your face shape, hair texture, and long-term goals and gives his professional opinion on what would suit you. I personally appreciate that because it feels tailored to my unique features. As he's gotten more popular, I could tell his schedule got packed as it was even hard for me to book my preferred days. It's so great seeing him grow and people loving his craft. And it's even more impressive knowing he manages all this by himself! I can't imagine how he juggles it all. Now to my hair experience, my goal has always been growing my hair long and healthy while maintaining color, and he's absolutely delivered. I drive from LA to see him monthly or every other month because I trust no one else with my hair. When I first came to him, my hair was overly bleached and damaged. We cut it to above my chest to start fresh in the beginning. He educates me on products and upkeep, and checks in on my growth. Now it's the longest it's ever been, reaching my glutes, and still healthy! As for color, He maintained my copper for over a year, experimenting with tones until we found the right fit, and eventually recommended me toward a deeper cherry brown that complements my skin so well. We refreshed my layers with the transformation and I've gotten so many compliments! Choosing a stylist you trust isn't easy, but for me, it's his honesty, craft, care, and consistent results that keep me coming back. To be fair, seeing him a few times in the beginning was a bit awkward. He can be quite soft spoken. He still is soft spoken but I see more spark in him when he goes in detail about hair and his salon! But one thing I really value is he always asked for feedback and ways he can improve, which shows he genuinely cares about his clients and his craft. read more

As a college student living in Irvine, I was a returning client of Travis's for years. Before finding him, I rarely got my hair done because I'd had so many bad experiences with stylists who couldn't execute the Asian-inspired looks I'd bring in from online. Travis changed all of that. Beyond his skill, I genuinely enjoy our appointments. Whether we're deep in conversation or just sitting comfortably in silence, it never feels awkward. His work never disappoints. His cuts and color work completely shifted how I see myself and gave me a real confidence boost. He fixed uneven coloring more than once and always landed on shades that matched my vibe and skin tone perfectly. I left every appointment feeling more like myself. He can come across as blunt or reserved at first, but I came to appreciate that about him--he's straightforward, honest, and clearly takes his craft seriously. I never once felt like he was being rude or difficult. From my very first appointment, I knew I'd found my permanent stylist. I even recommended him to all my friends and sorority sisters! read more

Travis H Vu - My second hair appointment with Travis where he added bangs to his original cut from a couple weeks back. - Hair Stylists Near Me

See all

I have been seeing a lot of reviews commenting and calling Travis arrogant on yelp and I wanted to give my feedback on this matter because I don't feel like anyone deserves that. I have been a client of Travis for a long time now and even though he is introverted and soft spoken, his work always delivers as he portrays his passion by being informative and honest with all of his clients. He is a stylist not a specialist, so even if he works on asian hair he is not someone that can help w/ the damage of your hair, he told me the same that my hair was damaged from years of bleaching and that I needed to use more products to keep my hair healthy. I prefer my cosmetic people to be REAL and HONEST w me about the status of my hair, nails, skin, etc. so I can receive feedback and learn how to take better care of myself instead of a stylist just smiling and lying to my face just to get a tip. I also took it that he is very knowledgeable about hair and CARES about the maintenance in the long-term and not just outcome look at the end of the appointment that many stylist prioritize without considering the health of your hair - that is one of the main reasons he is booked and busy. If you can't receive constructive criticism then go to an extroverted stylist, but personally, I would drop a stylist that was overly nice but did not care about my hair in the slightest. read more

Travis H Vu - Before Travis - Hair Stylists Near Me

See all

This review is LONG overdue but feel the need to address as I have read similar experiences with my ONE and ONLY time getting a haircut from Travis. Had high hopes for him as he did a nice job on IG page. I saw him when he was working in Tustin/Irvine salon utilizing a booth space. I was a little early so he was finishing up and they were chatting and he was cursing. No big deal as i'm sure we all use profanity. He was chatty with the girl before me but I did not get that. I showed him an inspo photo and he immediately said "that won't work, her torso longer than yours" ok. "Something like that is fine. He then proceeds to insult me by saying how I have thick hair and that I should find a "specialist" that works on my type of hair. I felt and it came off as rude! I'm thinking, I'm Asian, don't you work on Asian hair? He then proceeds to check my hair out not feeling it and said that there is not much for him to do except to take a little off and that he will still charge me $90/$95 whatever his prices were. I've paid more for haircuts so it wasn't a concern. I said that's fine. The whole experience was just awkward, I've initiated the conversation by asking him questions and he would answer and not ask me anything besides who colors your hair what do you use and making suggestions on formula and products to use(told me to use serum and applied it on for me to show difference BEFORE he started My haircut/style. Initially, I thought he was going to turn me away during consultation but he didn't and it looked like he regretted it as his attitude changed from previous client. With some people, we just don't mesh well. I get it, i don't have sleek shiny hair, like most of his girls featured on his page, but at least fake it so i could enjoy the finish look. I left there tipping him $10 and like another person said, he did not deserve it. He was monotone and had no expression. Just complained on my hair texture, color and previous haircut lol he kept shaking his head. Finish look was ok. I know he was as hoping I didn't return. Oh, don't worry about that I can read body language well and know when my business is not welcomed! Stay away from his arrogance. He's not as great as he thinks he is. There are better hairdressers out there who are genuinely nice and will do great work without making you feel inferior. read more

I don't personally get my hair cut by Travis, but my girlfriend has been seeing him for a while and I've gone with her to most of her appointments. From what I've consistently seen, he's very focused on his work and really intentional about what he's doing. He takes time during consultations, talks through ideas, and makes sure she's comfortable before starting. The vibe during appointments has always been pretty relaxed and friendly when I'm there. He's talkative and definitely has personality, but it never feels rushed or careless. He rly pays close attention to detail and adjusts everything constantly as he goes to make sure the end result looks right. My girlfriend has always left happy with her hair, which is obviously what matters most. As someone who's been around for a lot of sessions, I've only had positive experiences in his space. He's passionate about what he does, is overall just a rly nice guy, and is genuinely invested in his clients' results. read more

I wish I was more honest when I wrote this review last, I rarely do this but I do not trust Travis. He seems creepy and projects whatever he's going through on his clients. I don't intend to fully bash, I hope Travis can strive for positive change, but just cutting hair well is not enough. You have to be a good person too. I'm sorry for not acknowledging the other negative girls experiences also, if you book with him, just be careful ladies! read more

It's hard to describe how uncomfortable Travis made me feel. I felt belittled the entire time. It felt like an abusive relationship and he completely ruined my hair in what felt like a malicious way, without taking any of my requests into consideration. His attitude resembles that of a narcissist and for some reason he really likes to comment on race in a very disrespectful way. I am still kicking myself for not just getting up and leaving. read more

I've been going to Travis for over a year now, and I honestly can't imagine trusting anyone else with my hair. He is so good at what he does. His attention to detail and precision are next-level, and you can tell he really understands hair texture and how a cut should complement your face shape. I wear a very short, blunt bob, which is not an easy cut to get right, but Travis absolutely nails it every single time. I always leave feeling fresh, confident, and completely obsessed with my hair. He's also incredibly accommodating with my schedule. Even when he's busy, he does his best to fit me in if I need a little touch-up or want to tweak something. Our conversations are easy and enjoyable, and I always feel completely comfortable in his chair. Highly recommend! read more

I've been going to Travis for a while now and I genuinely trust him with my hair. From the first appointment, he took time to understand what I wanted long term instead of just focusing on one visit. He's really thoughtful during consultations and pays attention to things like face shape, hair texture, and what will actually be realistic to maintain. Because of the care he puts into every appointment, my hair has never felt healthier or looked this good without having to style it. I have gotten cuts before and have consistently been happy with how everything turns out so much so that I plan to do my first ever coloring session with him soon. Previously I have been very hesitant on coloring my hair just because I worry about the health of my hair and I also am not sure which color would suit me. However, because Travis has shown time and time again that he puts his client hair health first and ensuring everything matches your features, which made me feel comfortable trying it out. I also really appreciate how detailed he is, and i appreciate that he talks through the plan before starting and checks in throughout so we're always on the same page. Additionally, he takes the time to also check up me a few days/weeks after the appointment to see how I feel about the cut or if it growing in nicely and adjusts my next cut accordingly. Overall, appointments have always felt comfortable and welcoming. I never feel rushed, and I always leave feeling confident with my hair. It's obvious he cares about his work and wants his clients to feel their best. I highly recommend him for anyone in the area! read more

I am actually so grateful to have found Travis, because the search for finding the right hair stylist is over! I've switched around so many hair stylists in the past because my layers didn't look right or the cut rarely suited my face. A huge issue I would always have in the past is finding someone who would cut bangs that would fit my face and frame the layers to my liking. Travis is serious when he says his haircuts are personalized for each person, he considers your hair texture, head and face shape, and even can tell how your hair behaves on different parts of your head. I am extremely happy every time I go to him to get my bangs re-touched and I love the layers that he's given to the body of my hair. The layers aren't choppy and they add a lot of dimension and movement to my hair. I'm always excited to get my next haircut with him because I always leave feeling happy and that a lot of life has been added to my hair :) read more

The whole experience was awesome ! Travis is really sophisticated and dedicated with his work. He takes time washing your hair and lets conditioner sit in unlike other places where they just rinse it out. He's been on my list for a while as Im more into haircuts/styles rather than coloring (he also provides these services). It's really easy to get along/chat w him so the session isnt uncomfortable/awkward :) Again, he takes time for the haircut, listens to what i want and visualizes + working his styles in to give a tailored, unique look from the inspo :) Definitely recommend !!! read more

Travis H Vu - Hime cut by Travis - Hair Stylists Near Me

See all

I found Travis through social media (tt/ig) every cut was so beautiful I booked a flight to go check him out. When I arrived he did a full consult. I really appreciated how he took his time and analyzed my hair. This is the first time anyone's ever taken the time to really look at head shape and tell me if a cut is going to look good or bad. I wanted to go short and he told me not yet as my layers were kind of everywhere and should grow it out a little more for a clean chop. (I came from previous bleaching, perms, and a totally botched hair cut) he did a decent sized chop and cut off quite a bit of the damaged hair. It was the perfect length and I'm glad he talked me out of shorter because I would have ended up hating it lol but I let him take the reigns and my hair was so perfect it changed my life . Travis was super friendly and personable. After the consult and he was working we got to talking and totally vibed and clicked instantly . Finding a good stylist is so hard to find, especially for Asian hair in the mid west. I'm glad I found Travis. I've referred all my friends and family to him . It was such a wonderful experience and totally worth flying across the country for! I finally found my forever hair person read more

I want to start by highlighting that he does good work. Despite reading some negative reviews, I decided to go ahead and try his services. My first consultation a year ago was very informative and positive--there were no issues at all. Around 10 months later, after a haircut while traveling in Asia in between, I contacted him again to book another appointment. He told me he was moving salons, and unfortunately, his next availability didn't work with my upcoming trip, so I had to go elsewhere. I made it clear that I valued his work and wanted to return as a client. Fast forward, I went to him a second time a year later. He asked me to come earlier, which was no problem. But initially, when I came in, he was speaking monotone, pretty fast-paced. Had me sit down in the chair, tossing my hair forward and back aggressively, asking what I wanted. He pointed out that I went to someone else multiple times. When he was washing my hair, it felt pretty aggressive, even cutting my hair and brushing it. There was a point where he was trimming my hair when wet, and his hand would graze over my nipple, which might have been unintentional; I wasn't sure if it was an accident. I understand I have a lot of hair, but he would be sighing throughout the session. He would also be opening and closing drawers in a rough manner. At one point, he grabbed one of the hair product bottles and threw it back onto the counter. He pointed out how I hadn't gone to him at least twice, and I went elsewhere to "someone else". I tried explaining the situation, but he kept reiterating that if I liked his work to "stick with him". About halfway in, I just asked him if everything was okay because he kept sighing and putting his phone down and checking his phone again in between managing my hair. He told me how he had moved me earlier and "assumed my hair wouldn't take this long". Now his next appointment came early, and my hair was going to take longer. He commented on other clients, and when a client was outside, he said, "Oh shit, did she hear that?". He also commented on how many round brushes are in my hair, saying, "That's $800 in your head," and how he needs to buy more. At one point, I realized I felt genuinely scared and uncomfortable. I was alone in the salon room with him for at least the first half, and his energy felt tense and unpredictable. He did ask if I was okay, which I appreciated, but at that moment, I didn't feel safe speaking up because I didn't know how he might react, and I tried to remain calm. His demeanor only started to soften after I asked if he was okay. Overall, my main concern is that his demeanor and comments made me feel uncomfortable. This made me reluctant to speak up, as I worried about the outcome of my haircut or how he would respond. I believe clients deserve a welcoming environment, and sighing or tossing items is not appropriate. Additionally, he spoke negatively about other clients to me. I'm concerned he may also speak poorly of me as he has with others, and I don't think that's fair or professional. I'm not sure why some people have great experiences and others do not, based on the reviews. Maybe it was stress, but I still felt pretty uncomfortable from the experience. I'm sharing this so others are aware -- the work may be good, but the attitude and energy made it an experience I wouldn't want to repeat. read more

Honestly the best!?! The first time I came he did a consultation, asked me what I liked, what my lifestyle was, my ig to catch my vibe and tailored my haircut to the shape of my head!! He will tell you if he thinks something will not work haha, which is appreciated!! And he also keeps hair health in mind which we love. I also really like how he styles straight hair in the end instead of hiding it behind curls so I can really see the layers he did. So quality. Everyone love his cuts. So good. He never misses!!! He keeps it real and fs has talent when it comes to women's hair, especially Asian women's hair read more

My hair was in an awkward, in-between length and I wanted a short haircut that was cute and didn't make me look like Lord Farquaad. I found Travis on socials/Yelp and his work really impressed me! Booking an appointment was very straightforward and he was incredibly thorough and patient during the consultation, listening to all my concerns. He also showed much care and consideration while cutting my hair. I left the salon feeling very happy and confident in my new hairstyle, I really love it and would def recommend Travis to anyone looking for someone that really cares about his clients and quality of his work :) read more

My hair has been transformed into the unimaginable with Travis' magical hands! Seriously, I WISH I had discovered Travis sooner. Better late than never, as they say! I might be Asian, but my hair is *different.* It's coarse, wavy, frizzy, and sometimes completely unmanageable! I've had a rough time with previous stylists who not only ruined my hair with bad dye jobs but gave me haircuts that took several months to a year to grow out - ugh! Travis completely turned things around for me today with a root touch-up, cut, and color correction. From the start, Travis impressed me. He actually took the time to chat about my hair goals before I booked my appointment, which was a first. I mean, has any other hair stylist asked you for your entire hair history and future goals? Yeah, me neither! I had to plan ahead when I booked because he's popular--and now I totally get why! To top it off, he was so honest about what could or couldn't be achieved with my hair type and made suggestions based on my hair dreams. Look, Travis knows his stuff inside out. The hair wash was like a spa treatment; he used quality products that left my hair feeling fantastic and the scalp massage was next-level AH-MAZING!! Plus, he dropped some serious knowledge about hair care specifically for my mane that no one has ever suggested! A hair stylist who wants me to be able to manage my hair at home?? Is this even real life?! But what really stood out to me was how he tailored my cut to fit my everyday routine. He didn't assume I wore it the same way I came in with it. The difference? Again, he ASKED me what I normally do with my hair! He also knew just by pulling a few strands which technique was used on my hair from a previous stylist. It's like he has a sixth sense for hair! It's the small difference between a stylist who just wants to get you out of the chair versus someone who truly cares and takes their time. After the appointment he even invited me to send any maintenance or product questions I may have in the future now that he knows what I'm workin' with - I appreciate that! Parking's super easy at Pai e Salon, just off the 5 freeway in the Heritage Shopping Plaza in the center near Daiso and Mitsuwa. If you want a stylist who treats your hair right and gives you a custom style that's on point, Travis is your guy. Seriously, you won't be disappointed! Check out more of Travis's work on IG (@hairbytravisvu) to see for yourself, but trust me, it's even better in person. Thank you so much, Travis!!! I will be back next time! ‍ read more

It's been about 6 months since I've gone to him and I'm always happy with the cut that I receive whenever I go in! I trust Travis with my whole life. He truly makes sure that you walk out of the salon with beautiful hair that will get you so many compliments! Everyone should go to him for pretty haircuts. :) read more

MY NEW FOREVER STYLIST!!! I was in desperate need of a haircut and I still hadn't found a regular hairstylist that actually understood the complexities of my hair (super thick, really heavy, straight coarse asian hair). I found and booked Travis on Instagram (@hairbytravisvu) after seeing his page. The consultation was one of the many highlights of the appointment! With other stylists, it'd be this awkward, somewhat rushed exchange, where I felt like I couldn't say everything I wanted to. But with Travis, he really took the time to assess my hair, listen to my concerns and work with me to understand what I was looking for! He was detailed in going over my current routine, my normal styles, inspiration photos, and even my general fashion aesthetic to get an idea of what would complement it. He combined his extensive knowledge of different hair properties and technique with my own vision and preferences to thoroughly plan out the cut. I really appreciated was how well he communicated the plan and explained how each element would impact the overall look. Throughout the appointment, he took the time to ask about my hair goals. He provided lots of recommendations on how I can maintain the style I wanted, without coming off as judgmental or pushy (which is SO nice bc I know nothing about hair). It really showed the amount of care he has for my hair long-term, not just throughout the appointment! Travis is an absolute master when it comes to hair. He not only has the knowledge, but the skills and techniques to back it up. The whole appointment felt so relaxing and fun, and I came out feeling like a whole new person! I was completely amazed with the final result and my overall experience has me even more excited for appointments with him in the future. If you're in the need for a new stylist and looking for someone you can put your full trust into to deliver breathtaking results, BOOK TRAVIS VU! For reference, I asked for a cut that added more body and structure to my hair. I mentioned how my thick hair leaves any styling to sit heavy near the ends, and how layered cuts I got in the past left me with weird-looking spiky ends. We ended up on a hybrid mix of a butterfly cut with some hush cut elements. He also helped me feel confident enough to pull the trigger and get wispy bangs (which I now LOVE)! TYSM TRAVIS read more

Hair by Travis Vu... what can I say! I have gone to Travis three times now and I love my hair more and more every time. He always knows exactly what to do! The first time I went was for a hush cut and toner. I never knew that my hair could have the amount of layers it does now, while still maintaining thickness and volume! The layers shape my face perfectly and I have received so many compliments. The toner also held really nicely for over 6 months and blended really well with my natural hair. Since then I have gone back for a hair refresh and another toner, and it is safe to say that I will keep going back. I only trust him now with my hair! :) Travis is super skilled and talented! I would definitely recommend him if you are ever in the area! read more

I'm speaking out about my disappointing experience with Travis V at this salon. Despite seeing that they accept new clients and being impressed by their portfolio on Instagram, l was ghosted after booking an appointment and sharing my hair history. I had been looking forward to getting my hair done for a viewing event following my mother's passing, but after days of waiting, all I received was a 'read' notification. It seems that Travis V is very selective with his clients, and I want to warn others about the possibility of being led on and ghosted. & again I hope this helps others set clear expectations when booking with Travis V. read more

He really takes his time to ensure that the haircut he gives you is specific to you, he doesnt cop out and copy & pastes hairstyles but rather personalizes them to suit your face and features. He is so passionate and knowledgable about his work and you can really see that in the cuts that he does, especially so for asian hair! My biggest issue with my hair was that it was so thick and heavy and no other hairdresser was able to figure out how to lighten it but keep its volume. Lo and behold, Travis was able to help me and solve that problem! Definitely coming back and recommending him to everyone I know Obsessed is an understatement!! read more

I've been going to Travis for about six months now, and I couldn't be happier with my haircuts. What started as a touch up haircut has turned into a great friendship. Travis really knows his stuff, he's very knowledgeable about hairstyling. He understands different hair types, textures, and styles, and is able to suggest and execute haircuts that suit my preferences and enhance my appearance. Every cut is spot-on, making me feel even more confident and stylish. But it's not just about the hair, he's a great person too. His friendly and funny personality makes every appointment enjoyable. We've built a real connection over the months, and I always look forward to catching up with him and just talking about random stuff. He's also always willing to try new things and experiment with different cuts! So if you're looking for someone who's versatile and willing to spice up your look, go to him!! If you're looking for a hairstylist who not only nails the cut every time but also makes you feel like you're catching up with a friend, Travis is your go-to.

There's no one else I would trust more with my hair than Travis! He is very knowledgeable and possesses a great skillset I haven't seen in other hair stylists. His method is individualized, high quality, and I love how he educated me on which hair cut and style fit best with my face shape. I like people who give it to you straight!! For instance I wanted to try curtain bangs but we both discussed and agreed that it isnt ideal for my face shape. We also discussed hair goals and how I normally would style my hair on a daily basis. Furthermore, he let me know of the best products to use to keep my hair healthy, especially since I'm the type to get balayage ever so often. My hair feels super refreshed. Can't wait to go back to him for all of my hair cuts!! Also, the salon is clean, spacious and he uses quality products, as I've mentioned. There's also ample parking in the plaza! read more

Travis has been my hair stylist for over a year now and has a track record of delivering the best service. I usually ask for blowouts and the same haircut, but I've also had coloring & perm services done by him. I've never had an appointment that disappointed me. I recently wanted to try something new with my hair and let him choose because that's how much I trust his expertise! To describe a little more about my experience with his work.. Travis is VERY educative and efficient with his consultations. As a professional, he likes to provide insight on different hair types and face shape so that you as a client can achieve hairstyles you want and have an understanding on what works for you based on your features. In the past, I've always shown other hair stylists Pinterest photos and they give me the cut I want, but sometimes it doesn't satisfy me because I never understood what worked for me. Travis is open to all questions and giving his recommendations. They're top notch! Additionally, he even teaches you how he works with your hair step by step as he does it, from how to blow dry your hair to what products he's using. That's something I really appreciate and also stands out to me compared to other hair stylists. In my last appointment, I got a straight perm on my wavy & fluffy hair and IT TURNED OUT AMAZING. My hair is flat & straight after I shower and wake up! Overall, Travis is a very skilled and professional hairstylist! read more

Whenever I ask for suggestions with other stylists they always tell me "whatever you like". Which is fine, but I do prefer to get input since they are the professionals! He is also very attentive when it comes to his work! 100000% would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a hair cut!

Travis H Vu - Hair Stylists Near Me

After my hairdresser of 10+ years retired, I scoured the internet for a new hairstylist. I went to different people but often left underwhelmed and disappointed. After finding Travis on social media and seeing that he uses both Western & Eastern approaches to hair, I decided to give him a try. I so glad I did! Travis doesn't give me what I want in a haircut; he gives me BETTER than what I had anticipated. He cuts and styles my hair in ways that flatter me and helps to retain the length of my hair! I also appreciate that he can tell me what styles and lengths will work on my hair; I learned things I never knew about my hair because of Travis! Travis is precise, detailed, and meticulous. He is professional and takes his craft very seriously. Haircuts are something I did not look forward to, but with Travis, I know I'll be walking out with hair that looks fresh, beautiful, and updated. I cannot wait to go back! read more

I'm really picky with who does my hair because I've had really botched haircuts before from people who don't specialize in Asian hair. I wanted long layers and found Travis via Instagram and all his pictures looked so good so I decided to book. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. I kept trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but ultimately he had the worst attitude and acted really strange, so I was urged to post this review. I never usually leave bad reviews but Travis made my entire haircut super uncomfortable. The second I was in his chair he seemed like he didn't want to be there. Everything felt rushed and he was talking in a really fast, monotone voice. He looked mad and didn't smile a single time during the haircut. He was also speaking super quietly, which made it really hard to hear him with all the salon noise in the background, however his snarky attitude made me not want to ask him to repeat himself. As he was explaining the haircut to me he started telling me that he just needs to explain these things to people because sometimes people just don't know what they're signing up for. He proceeded to trash talk his previous clients and called one of his past clients an "airhead" and telling me how he didn't even want to cut her hair. Obviously, I understand that stylists probably feel that way sometimes, but I find it extremely unprofessional to trash talk previous clients to other clients. It was my very first session with him also, so I don't know what made him feel comfortable enough to tell me all this. There were a lot of other small instances that made me uncomfortable throughout the haircut besides the attitude, such as his aggressive shampooing and him pointing out how I need to change my screen protector (basically admitting to looking at my phone). I just tried to brush these aside. But then, when the cut started, he let me know that he was in a bad mood because he found out he got a bad review. I understand how a bad review made his day bad, hence the attitude. But at the same time, 1) I don't know why you would tell a first-time client you got a bad review, 2) He proceeded to angrily trash talk this reviewer to me. He vented about how he knew who left the review and told me that she left the bad review because she didn't like the haircut. After the bad experience I had, I was curious about the review, so I went to find it on this Yelp page and found that the review was SO MUCH WORSE than just a bad haircut. I was weary to even post this because I know he's probably gonna trash talk me to other clients now too. Unfortunately, it kept getting worse. I was both tired from a long weekend and really uncomfortable, so at this point I didn't even want to talk to him. I'm a pretty outgoing and talkative person, so it says a lot that I didn't want to speak to him at all. As the haircut went on he started to say that my hair was hard to cut and "my face was hard to work with" whatever that means. I had to take my glasses off for the cut, so I couldn't really see my hair at this point. Earlier he asked me if I wanted to keep length, and I told him I wanted to keep as much length as possible. When I finally saw my hair, the layers were choppy and he cut off so much hair. He cut my front pieces shorter than my chin, which is ironic considering he posted on his Instagram story about how you should never cut above the chin. The layers didn't blend together at all and I think he knew he did a bad job. The reason I say this is because his haircuts start at $85, but when he went to give me the price he told me it was $45 and said "don't ask" regarding the low price... He also said something about how I was going to come in a second time, and he would message me about it, but I didn't hear him say why he wanted me to come in again. I ended up messaging him and told him I remember him saying he would message me but I didn't hear why. He ended up just saying "I'm so sorry. My whole day went downhill. Please allow me a few days to recollect myself." I was so confused, I understand you had a bad day, but I just wanted to know why he said he was gonna message me and that I should come back? I allowed him a few days before checking in again, and then I got completely ghosted, which prompted me to write this review. The entire situation was completely unprofessional and confusing. I was so uncomfortable with his attitude and I also don't like my haircut. I won't be coming back and I'm extremely confused how other people had such good experiences with him while I had the worse haircut experience of my life. I understand he had a bad day, but the unprofessionalism was insane. I hope he doesn't always act like this. read more
