Kim Irene “MJ” Mens haircuts are done very quickly and neatly. 53.00 USD No tip policy.

JULIA GUAN Super clean and professional work

Leung Tzu Feng (Jackson) He is the best hairstylist I have had! Always love his work

Cho Ray (Ray) Few days ago, I have visited this place as other friends have strongly recommended me to check out. My first impression at this place was very clean and convenient with good interiors and relaxing music. Staff were very kind and welcoming. I have tried Korean style perms. At first, I was very hesitant because I have never permed before in the past. The barber kindly counseled me which helped me to make a decision. He also taught me how to manage styling, which was not hard at all. I am definitely going to make a reservation in the future. I highly recommend this place!

Adriee Wong My first digital perm was with Esther over a decade ago and with moving around for school Ive tried having the same type of perm at other salons but it never ends up being as easy a process or as long lasting a perm as with Esther. My only regret is not booking in time with her before my wedding! 10/10 would recommend

Anna Yang Excellent. I have received lots of compliment on my hair after getting a straight perm and a cut. Stylish is the most common compliment I get. Thanks, Esther!

Nichole Nijmeh Been going to Esther for over a decade. Always the best experience, conversation, and my hair is always perfect xoxox Shes so good, she gets booked up months in advance, book your appt online asappp

Elaine Chung Esther is the best!!! If you want some natural waves in your hair, try the digi-perm!

Farnoush Bentley Absolutely LOVE Esther. Always professional, does a wonderful job on my Japanese hair straightening and is very thorough and detailed in her hair treatments. Ive been going to her regularly since 2016 and continue to be pleased with the results. The cherry on top of that is shes an amazing human being. Look no further for hair straightening, Esther is your girl!

Ankit Sharma I had the worst experience at this salon. Im growing out my hair, so I only needed a minor touch-up—less than half an inch off the top, and a cleanup around my sideburns and neck. Despite my clear instructions, the hairdresser took off two inches and completely ruined the shape. I politely asked her to stop and expressed my concerns. I even offered to pay for the service, but the manager kindly insisted that I shouldnt pay for something I was unhappy with. I appreciated this gesture and left, but then the situation took a bizarre turn. The hairdresser ran after me, video recording and loudly defending her actions in front of other patrons. It became so uncomfortable that another customer tried to intervene. To avoid further conflict, I returned and left $30 cash on her station—more than the advertised price of $24—to avoid another complaint. Even then, she continued to berate me as I left. While the manager was polite, the overall experience was unacceptable. I highly recommend going elsewhere, even if it means a longer drive or higher cost.

Chris Binns I’ve been coming here for more than 15 years and have never had a bad experience. Julie is the best and also cuts my kids hair. None of us have ever had a bad haircut. I would recommend Julie to anyone who was looking for a great haircut

Ben Alfredo Julie gave me a perfect haircut! She listened to what I wanted, paid great attention to detail, and made the experience super comfortable. I left feeling confident—highly recommend!

justin keizer Went in for a quick haircut after work. They were quick and the price is going to be hard to beat anywhere. While I did end up enjoying how my hair looked by the end, I was poked about a dozen times with scissors and was burned by the hair dryer multiple times after asking to use it from further away.

Gurdeep Kaur This place is the worst place to color your hair. If a person wants to ruin come to this place. I showed their person a photograph the color I want but they put something else . Turned my hair into yellow highlights. Very bad services. I had to mentally suffer because of this a day before New Year

Hendra Suharso I was desperately looking for a good hair salon for my wife. Everywhere was fully booked for Saturdays. Fortunately I found Mitri and they had a last minute cancelation. Tony and Chully (sorry if I dont pronounce it correctly) were also trying to accommodate us very well, despite their tight schedule and its close to lunch time. Chully was very skilled as well in cutting my wifes hair as requested. two thumbs up for them

Parvathi M.S Best Hair stylist..!! Tony has really done good job when I showed him picture asked for photo he did best and make me to look same haircut as I shown!!! Thanks

Keo Phi Overall staff was friendly. But I cant recommend the haircut. Price is high 40$. I asked for fade & keep the lengths up top and stylist just went ahead and trimmed everything really short without my input or confirming what I wanted. W.E its not too big a deal for me. But my Gf got her hair cut here and asked to just trim off the split ends (keep the length). He trimmed off over 2 inches and she was visibly upset (she been trying to grow out her hair for a year now) after and still charged us. We thought we give this place a try but regret it.

Janet Lin Craft With Asian hair, big color changes scare a lot of hair stylist. I knew that when I move back to the Bay Area, that I can find an experienced colorist. I am so lucky to find Helen who took me on, listen to my needs. You can tell she has 24 years of experience with her ability to get the foils on with precision and quickness. A great neighborhood shop with walk in availability.

Steffi Michelle Had an incredible experience at this vintage-inspired salon that transported me to the 80s with its vibrant colors, reminiscent of a classic beauty salon. The ambiance was adorable, making it a delightful visit. The staff, especially Lisa, was exceptionally friendly and kind, creating a welcoming atmosphere that instantly felt like home. As someone who is particular about hair salons, I can confidently say this place exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in until the end of my visit, everything felt amazing. The deep conditioning treatment, courtesy of Lisa, worked wonders on my hair, leaving it exceptionally smooth. Her artistry in styling my hair was simply gorgeous, and I’ve attached some photos to showcase the fantastic work. I wholeheartedly rate this place a perfect 10 out of 10. If you’re in the area and looking for top-notch service, this is the place to be. They even offer nail services, ensuring a one-stop solution for all your beauty needs. Highly recommended!

Ashley Fay such Helen was amazing! She did exactly what I asked for!! Service was incredible and atmosphere was relaxed. Will only go here for any hair needs.

Kaiyah Kenny Extremely overpriced for very low quality services. I got a new set of acrylics here a week ago and one of them is already starting to lift. I was charged $85 for a very basic design on the acrylics. The gel polish they use is extremely cheap as one of my toes chipped from me merely bumping into something. Do not go here & waste your money!

Milin Prajapati I recently had a haircut with Queeny, and I was absolutely delighted with the experience! She is a true professional who listened carefully to my preferences and delivered exactly what I envisioned. Queeny’s attention to detail and skill are remarkable. She took her time to ensure everything was perfect, and the result was fantastic. I left feeling confident and happy with my new look. On top of her expertise, Queeny was warm, friendly, and made the entire appointment enjoyable. I’m so glad I chose her and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great haircut and a wonderful experience!

Ryl Harjot Great salon. Lena was so good it was my 4th visit. She did the haircut exactly like I wanted it to be. I’m super happy with my new Hair style/color.

Anastasia Quinn Cut me and my bfs hair short notice. Gave us incredible technique and exactly the level of customer service we were expecting. Lena is very good at what she does, and very kind while she does it. I liked her more than my sola salon lady, just saying.

Manthan Shah ""Please ask her for the charges upfront."" I got a haircut but I was charged extra (+10$) because she mentioned that my hair was longer. This was done after the haircut. while i accept my hair may have taken some effort (curly) but I wouldve preferred if she had mentioned the charges before cutting the hair.

Sonia I had my haircut today and paid $109.25 in total ($95 for the haircut and $14.25 for tips). My hairstylist did a great job, so I gave her 5 stars. However, I was disappointed to find an additional charge for the hairdry and shampoo when I checked the bill. I should have been informed about this extra charge in advance. (My hairstylist just did everything for me without asking)

Anna Luv I just moved to santa clara, was looking to change my color…. Walked in here total last minute , and they still took me in. Hannah did an amazing job on my hair. I was so so happy with it; i went from a orange/yellow color back to my browns. I told her i wanted darker on the roots and lighter on the ends, and that is exactly what she did.. she even stayed almost 2hr after closing time without any hesitation. Thank You so much Hannah, i will definitely be coming back!

Jeff Li I have been coming to this establishment for a few years. Jeff provided feedback on haircut styles and works fast and with precision. For my natural wavy perm I had a total of two hair washes and an after-perm trim. If you dont speak korean you may find the staff a bit curt but that is ok, come with a picture example of the style you are looking for. They specialize in asian hair of all types, especially modern styles.

victor tan Owner did not treat me with respect, haircut only lasted less than 5 minutes and it was terrible, he didn’t follow my orders and he only asked what length i want and it was pretty expensive for this service which was $50 so i strongly wouldn’t recommend getting a haircut with the owner as it’ll just ruin your hair.

Catherine This korean salon doesnt care about customers Came to get my hair colored, but left with bleach burns Charged me $350+ for bleaching my hair two times, didnt even get my hair colored I repeatedly told them that my head hurts, but they blamed my scalp for being so sensitive Now I have to spend extra money, to cover up the cost of THEY did to my hair, to buy aloe vera gel and neosporin for my head You cant blame the customer for having a sensitive scalp or that it was THEIR choice to come here, They wont even give you a refund, because they blame the customer

Divies Tuladhar High quality, fast service - a really good men’s haircut. Includes wash before and after.

Peter Lomakin Mr Park is the one I was looking for. If you have a tall forehead, hes the magician to make it look cool and trendy. Tysm! Hope your business will strive, and best wishes to your team!
