I went back to this salon in late August to get a touch up on my Japanese Straight Perm and I’m not pleased at all. 1) I was charged $ 200 for a touch up which is way too much for a touch up for only 2 inches of hair. 2) The owner, Lisa, left me unattended for very long periods of time and made one of the other stylists in the salon attend to me. I’ve noticed that my hair is extremely dull and dry so that’s how I know my hair was over-processed. 3) While waiting for my hair to process, my scalp had started to burn and when I complained I was just brushed off. First of all, the solution isn’t supposed to burn so that’s something that was definitely off. 4) Afterwards, while Lisa was cutting my hair, she seemed to be in a rush and my whole head was choppy. On top of that, I showed her a picture of how I wanted my side bangs to be cut and she cut it nowhere close to the picture. She just took a section of my hair and cut it straight across. That’s it. No shaping. No styling with an iron. Nothing. It was terrible and I’m still trying to grow it out. I’m NEVER returning to this salon which makes me quite sad. My first experience here was amazing and the staff is so kind, but I cannot go to a salon where the OWNER neglects a customer. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because the girl that was assisting Lisa in applying the solution to my hair was very sweet and kind. She gave me tips of how to take care of my hair and she was very gentle. Too bad I won’t be returning.

If it was just for the skill of the stylists — I would give a 4 – 5 star! I am always satisfied with my haircuts here and I’ve been coming to this salon for about 3 years now since my friend recommended it. I’ve had my hair cut by a few different stylists here because they come and go frequently and I haven’t been disappointed yet(knock on wood). I am terrified of people cutting my hair due to previous bad experiences but it looks like I’ve found a safe haven! However I find price is a little inconsistent… and I’m unsure how that works. The past few years I’ve come here, it has always been $ 20 cut for long hair… and then I usually gave $ 3 tips. I went back today since my last cut late March, and was charged $ 25. I asked if the prices had raised. but they said it’s been this way for as long as they remember. I didn’t argue. but I forgot to tip in the midst of confusion. What if the next time I come they end up charging $ 30? For a male cut, my friend was charged $ 20 and he would also tip after. But I am reading a previous review that a cut and wash was $ 17. Prices for bangs, or a simple trim also vary between my friends. There are no signs showing that prices have changed and it eats away at credibility a bit. I just want a permanent salon that I can trust. Maybe it’s time to find an at home stylist…

I just wasted my time and money in this salon. I went to have a Japanese straight and my hair is back to normal after 1 wash. I’m really mad and I think it just damaged my hair more because they ironed my hair twice without using a heat protector.

Visited on Feb 25, 2015. Can’t believe nobody has done a review for this salon before, it’s been here at least 8 years. The hair stylists are very nice and courteous. I got a lovely men’s haircut and wash for $ 17. The place is fairly clean and the chairs are comfortable. They have old clippings of movie stars to show their hairstyles taped to the wall which looks kind of ghetto haha. I will be coming back every month from now on for haircuts. The salon is right beside Finch station so very convenient. There are about 6 hair stylists that work there mainly Korean and Japanese in background. They cater to men and women.
