I've recently been perming my hair and Unga Hair Salon is a great place to style hair. They were very courteous and my hair came out looking great! One thing I would recommend is that you come with a Korean speaker or learn a couple words of Korean to better enhance the experience! read more

Ive been going to this location for years now and I love it. Great employees, great price, and they even allow walk ins which I like. Soo is always professional and amazing at what she does. I highly recommend here! read more

I am from out of town and I came across this salon. Lia is very thorough and her craftsmanship is excellent! Worth every penny! read more

Unga Hair Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Found this business from someone's FB post and I thought to myself, "why not? Let's try." ...I'm looking for a salon for my teenage son anyways. Called a Saturday morning asking if they take walk ins. She scheduled us same day in the afternoon. When we arrived, I'm mildly surprised to find that everyone (stylist, owner, and clientele) are Korean. I was concerned at first due to language barriers, but braved it out anyways. I showed her a picture I found on internet and showed it to her. She too a quick glanced and nodded. She took my son for a quick hair wash and the get working. She's very detailed oriented. I really like the end result for my son and so does my husband and my son. read more

Lia was so good at cutting my hair! For $45, it was so worth it!!! She washed and styled my hair as well!!! read more

Unga Hair Salon - My hair post cut - Hair Salons Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

The customer service was so friendly and I especially love getting my hair done by my loyal stylist Lia!

Been here several times over the years. Today I got a hair cut and perm. I loved the hair cut; but the perm did not take. She charged me full price, even though she agreed it did not work. I'm not happy and will not be back. read more

My wife and I are both quite pleased with our haircuts. Lia is an incredible stylist! We're very impressed with her abilities. She is friendly and professional. Lia has an excellent eye for detail and took the time to ensure that our haircut was flawless. She listened to our requests and gave us an excellent finish. I definitely recommend Lia, my hair stylist, to anyone searching for a beautiful haircut. Thank you so much, Lia! read more

I used to go to expensive hair salons to get my hair cut. I'm sure you guys can tell when you meet me. Anyway, I hated going to the barbers because they only asked, "which guard number?" If I wanted to use a clipper and some guards, I can do it myself. Now the best haircut I got was from this Ukrainian chick who also did hair for runway models. She's disappeared, so I need to find someone adequate. These guys at Unga do the job fine. They are a step below her, but I think they're just as good as the ones in expensive, American salons--at least for men's haircuts. The best part is that they're cheap. You don't need Scoutmob to feel like you can afford this. For $18, you can't get a better Men's haircut anywhere for that price. No, not even Great Clips. They speak English well. So you don't have to worry about not being able to speak Korean. Plus, I bring my whitey, white wife here, and I saw some non-Koreans coming here too. They even treated me, an American Korean, well. They didn't look too disgusted to cut a hair of a Korean who betrayed their country by not speaking Korean to them. read more

Excellent haircuts, especially for fine Asian hairs. Very hip. I asked for a trim and got more than just a trim. I got my hair styled too. I love it. J and BJ are my favorite stylists here. $25 to cut long hair. Definitely worth the drive. I would also recommend Asian men to get their hair cut at Unga if they want sexy hair like Wang Lee Hom. Haha. The other Unga location (on Buford Hwy) is closed. This is the brand new location, and it's a huge upgrade in terms of the decor and hair product fragrance. All the stylists from the Buford Hwy location are working at this new location. read more

Never been to a good hair stylist before. I walked in and they gave me exactly what I wanted. I had messed up my own hair prior to this visit, and they fixed me up. No complaints from me, and I will be going back. read more

This review is for Lia. I am Korean and we often perm our hair. About four months ago, I got this thing called steam perm from Pika Pika(I will post a review later). Naturally, my curls started to start falling flat and getting frizzy after several months. It had been at least five years since I got Japanese thermal straightening done(aka magic perm) so I started searching high and low. I had to do thorough research because when done completely wrong, magic perm can leave your hair dry, burnt/melted, and it will start to break off. After calling EVERY SINGLE Korean salon, I settled with Unga because it was close to what I was willing to spend and I've heard wonderful things in the past by close friends. The entire process took about 3+ hours. Lia took care of me and made sure all the chemical process only lasted the correct time so it wouldn't damage my hair as much. That was very important to me because often times, the stylist can get a bit lazy. I went in on Tuesday evening yet they were busy at all times. This salon is totally worth your visit. They don't rip you off for the same services provide elsewhere. Magic perm can run you anywhere from $150-400 depending on your length. This place was highly efficient and timely. Even after all the chemical processing, Lia left my hair silky soft and I maintained my original texture! One thing that bothered me a good bit was that all the stylists didn't mind using their personal cell phones during service. They would text and have personal conversations while still doing your hair. That came off very unprofessional to me. Overall, my experience was great! I was very pleased with the high level of service they provide :) read more

Unga Hair Salon - after steam perm by jinju - Hair Salons Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

come here if youre into very outdated boomer haircut... they also increased the price to $40 per haircut and theyre not very detailed anymore :/ read more

Ms. Jessica is a rarely skilled hair stylist in this town who can cut. Reasonably priced and great listener to what style you want, not what the stylist think I need! Will return as long as she available! read more

I've been coming to Unga for years now. There is a bit of a language barrier since I don't speak Korean. But I never have any issues with my hair. I always go to Lia and she knows what she's doing. I always love my hair cut. I recently cut A TON of my hair off and she did a great job styling it. A hair cut costs $30. Certain stylists are a little scissor happy- so be careful if you don't want too much cut off. read more

The name of this place brings out the immature kid in me because it sounds like the Korean word for poop. Also, my hair dresser's name was BJ. But their service and skills were far from poopy, and BJ was a serious man. I'm very sloppy with my hair care, and BJ didn't give me any obviously judgmental looks or lecture. He didn't try to upsell the services. He also sensed that I'm not the small talk type of person and talked sparingly, mostly to answer my questions about how to make my round Asian face look smaller. I like. The hair cut turned out AWESOME. And it was only $25. I needed to get my roots retouched and my whole hair coated, so that was another $60. Not bad at all! Seriously, I was flipping my hair at work all day the next day and got so many compliments. And yes, they speak English very well, so do not fear. read more

Let me start off by saying that I really like my new haircut and Choi did an amazing job! She is so quick, skilled, and sweet. I can tell she is a really nice lady even though we had a big communication barrier. Now, I do have to go back and say I have no idea what happened the whole time! I called and made an appointment for Lena, who was recommended to me by two people. I showed up and told the older lady at the desk that I had a haircut appointment with Lena. So obviously, there is a bit of a communication barrier, but I was pretty sure they knew who I was requesting. I sit down and showed the stylist a picture of what I wanted. She was so organized and swift. The way she handled my hair made me feel confident in her skills. My hair did end up a lot shorter than I wanted and requested, but in the end I really do like it! It is the change I needed. Now, when I go to pay I pick up the card for Lena and ask if it is her card, and my stylist redirected me to her card (Choi). I was completely shocked because I had tried to confirm twice that it was Lena, but it was not the whole time!!! I am still a bit confused on how that all happened, but in the end I liked Choi and will totally go back to her! read more

After years of envying gorgeously, stylishly, fashionably haircuts of my Korean peers, I decided to end all the green dragon in me and get one for myself! Like the others, I just stepped in on a Sunday morning at 10 AM with no appointments and no plan, only armed with a cellphone full of pictures and eager determination to get rid of hair that hadn't been thinned out since the winter of 2012-2013. I balked a little at the price (when she said $30, I told her to repeat the number twice because I was in semi-disbelief), but I hit the hammer on the nail because I got the owner of the salon. I don't know her name, but she's a little elderly with shortish hair. I showed her a picture of a lovely Emma Stone haircut and she got straight down to business. She asked me what length I wanted and gave me her recommendations as to how long my bangs should be afterwards, etc. despite me not knowing a lick of Korean. Compared to past hairstylists, I could tell straightaway that she was most definitely very experienced. I asked her afterwards how long she'd been cutting hair and found out she's been cutting for 30 years! She was quick, but not hasty. I could tell by the way she handled my hair that she definitely knew what she was doing. When she washed and dried off my hair, she showed me tips as to how to bring out a more natural style of my freshly cut hair since I apparently had natural waves. Now, my hair feels incredibly light. I haven't had softer hair since. Though it's pricey, they're not pushy and my hairstylist was especially experienced! I simply love the style and I can say I won't be envying other Korean people for a while! haha read more

Pika Pika, Scissor Hands, Park Juns, etc... I have tried them all from Buford Highway to Duluth, and the winner goes to Unga. It took a while for me to find this "glass slipper" of a hair salon. As far as raw talent, these guys have the goods. Their scissorship cannot be matched. I could also see the passion they have for cutting hair, which is always reassuring. They cut men's hair very well; however, I cannot say anything about perms and the such because I haven't had any (yet). It helps that I speak Korean, but I have seen many non-Koreans get around just fine in this hair salon. Also ,they were timely when I went in for my appointment. Now, they didn't do anything over the top, but everything was just top-notch. The hair salon itself was very tidy and the music wasn't blasting; for once, it felt like I was at a hair salon and not in a club unlike when I'm in most of those other Korean hair salons. It used to be $18 for a cut but they raised it to $20. Still, the price is right! read more

This is the only place I go to for a "Magic Perm". Been coming to the same woman for 20 years. My hair is seriously thick and very long. When uncared for, my hair is naturally curly and frizzy. I have a Korean fro going on. This salon will treat my hair and use however much of the solution that is needed to straight out my hair. They always charge me a low price even after spending 5+ hours there. Their styling is not very competive, but if you want straight hair for an impossibe project....go to Unga. I did notice many people going to a male stylist looking specifically for him. I believe he would be the go-to person for a stylish cut. Look for the guy with the long hair...he has better hair than I do ;p read more

Excellent!! I especially like the stylist's skill. It seems the best so far I have met. Price was a bit high, but their product was worthy. I will go back!! read more

Thanks for the awesome hair style Mr, Jun. I had a lot of hair and have always been apprehensive about cutting it. When I told him what I wanted he knew exactly what I was talking about and executed it effortlessly, he's truly talented. I love my haircut. Now my hair looks healthy, clean, and is wonderful to touch. Definitely worth the money and HIGHLY recommend this salon! read more

Walked in, one lady with orange hair made eye contact and ignored me completely. Waited a good minute until someone said in korean "oh hair cut??" I said, "no just a trim". She goes "one hour". I might've waited if customer service and greeting were more professional. read more

I came in for a two inch trim today, and I came out with 5 inches chopped off...not trimmed off..CHOPPED OFF. My hair is choppy ); I came in because of the raving reviews I read on here. I shouldve gone to magic hair studio in doraville. BJ cut my hair. I dont like him. he didnt listen to me. I hate not understanding his english or him not understanding me. I am never returning. Ever. read more

I got my eyelash extension at this salon and I loved it! The price is better than anywhere else I've looked into and the results were great. I love my new lashes and am expecting to return every other month to get them done once they fall off. Normally I wouldn't get them so often but since the price here is decent I can afford them. Definitely would recommend anyone looking for lash extensions!!! read more

My first experience at Unga Hair Salon was great! I have only been there one time so far. The salon has casual decor nothing really fancy in my opinion, its a pretty big place. I was greeted by the staff as soon as I entered the building. This is an Asian operated salon.I only saw Korean people. The stylist that cut my hair was great and she had a great hair style as well so I know I was in good hands. She was very meticulous while cutting my hair. I got a shampoo as well. Over all my haircut was $18.00 and I tipped. I would go back for another hair cut. Since having my haircut I've had many compliments about my hair! read more

After reading most of the reviews I decided to finally cut my nearly waist length hair at Unga. I told the stylist that I wanted a two inch trim with long layers and side-swept bangs. What I ended up with was about 5 to 6 inches hacked off. I had seen her snip the ends of my hair but what I did not foresee was that in the process of cutting those layers she would cut off so much. My hair now is extremely thin and short. My bangs are now just a side fringe. She left me with advice to brush my fringe back for added volume. How did a request for side swept bangs turn into volumed fringe? I seriously just want to give this place one star. However, I came here with some family and they had amazing haircuts. If you're going to get your haircut here then request one of the men to cut it. read more

Mrs. Choi is extremely skilled hair dresser. Her English is limited so you need to tell her exactly how you want your hair done. Always professional non judgmental friendly makes me feel valued customer. Love her personality and good at what she does. Thank you Mrs. Choi!!! read more

Very happy with my haircut! The stylists speak good English and are skilled and fashionable. $25 for a wash, cut and style ( women's long hair). read more

Lia I always love you .... you did a great job i am definitely coming back to you... happy new year.

I had a manicure/wax done on my hair by a guy (I think his name is Jun or John?). He didn't really cover my roots, but overall it came out nice looking. The reason why I wanted him to get close to the roots is because the manicure I chose had a brown color mixture in it, and I wanted my hair color to look even throughout. In the end, it looked good. The only reason I gave them 3 stars, is because the service is not great. I felt like the workers there including jun/John were not friendly. I felt slightly uncomfortable. read more

Best place!! I had really damaged hair from highlighting and even the hair stylist in Korea said he couldn't fix it but Moon did. Amazing!!

Shitty place, uses cheap products, overpriced, terrible service. My girlfriend got her hair curled, what they did was not curling. She is so pissed and has been pissed off at me all day cuz this dumb ass can't do her hair right. They were super rough, used the cheapest, worst products around. They splashed the chemicals in her eyes! I can even tell that her hair is not even curled in the back. And then to top it off, they force you to tip!!! Trust me. Don't bring your girlfriend there. read more

I just got my hair cut at Unga yesterday, and I'm very impressed. My hairstylist thinned and layered my hair perfectly after listening to my rather vague description of what I wanted. For $25, it's hard to find a better deal for a high-quality haircut. Definitely try this place!! read more

total rip off please avoid this place. they charged u so much for a "great clip" quality men's hair cut. the hairdresser didn't even talk to u, and she looks like she was pissed off working there. $50 total with tips for a 15 minute haircut with wash. she gave me a buzz cut which i could have easily done it myself. read more

I went there today to get my hair cut. I was very pleased with my look now. The price was very reasonable too. Will definitely recommend the place and take it as my personal salon from now :) read more

This update is because I received another haircut from this salon and it was decidedly a less pleasing experience. The stylist I think made a very genuine attempt at giving me a good haircut. However her interpretation of the picture I showed her is far different from the actual photo. She is probably much better at cutting men's hair than women's short styles. It takes a certain eye to be able to cut short hair on a women and still make it look feminine. This haircut is much better suited for a man. So guys, feel free to ask for Choi Moon Ja. Perhaps longer hair styles this stylist could do, but NOT short hair for women. Her card says she's off on Tuesdays, so I will return then so it's not too awkward. Next time I will ask for Joanne or get one of the guys there to cut it because I hear they are better with women's hair. But this is the last time I will let just anyone cut my hair at this salon. In my younger days I would have seriously cried about this. But now that I am older I know it will grow out in relatively a short time...and I have cute hats. --UPDATE! It took 6 months before I needed another haircut. It was THAT short. I was trying to be more optimistic when I wrote the review. It's less traumatizing if you can try to make the best of bad situations. But now that I am finally on the other side of this haircut experience, I can now say it was awful. I gave the salon 2 stars only because I know other stylists there can do better, not because of what I got. My last from here deserves 0 stars. It was seriously the worst haircut. It was so short, people would give me a weird look the first COUPLE of months. It really says something when people say, "Wow! You really changed your hair" and then for me to say, "Yes, I got it cut about two months ago and they cut it way too short" and then they have a shocked look on their face. And then I'd say, "Oh yes, this is definitely grown out from what it was." read more

I was in desperate need of a haircut (3 months since my last one) and was in town so decided to give Unga a try. I wasn't sure if it would be crazy busy since I went on the afternoon of Christmas Eve, but I only waited about 20 minutes for a stylist to become available. Lia gave me a decent haircut that left my hair feeling a lot lighter, and she styled it well so I felt awesome when I left the salon. I'm having some trouble replicating that look (don't you hate it when that happens) and currently suffering from a bit of that I-just-got-my-hair-cut blunt look that makes styling necessary but I think in a few days I will learn my new do and be happy with my $30 haircut! read more

Very Very disappointed with my first visit. The hair dresser paid no attention to how I wanted my hair to look, but cut it the way he liked. Now I have to walk around with weird hair until they grow out again...:-( read more

This Unga Hair Salon is by far the worst place to get a hair cut. The woman who gave me a hair cut had no clue what she was doing. It took her 1.55 mins to give me a layer cut. She abused my hair. She washed my hair and began cutting it Half way through she started ironing my hair. Then she again cut it. Then she realized she cut my hair bad and so she began chopping the remaining off which made it even worse. I was there 2 weeks ago and I still can't stop feeling better about this whole thing. I feel sorry for the owner. The old lady does not seem to understand English too well and I had to request one of the customers there to translate what I felt about my hair cut. read more
