In Salon

DO NOT go to this place!
So I walked in this place around mid afternoon and It’s actually my second experience at this place.
The first time it was not great but a OK, so I went there again.
It was a different person that did my hair this time. (Last time was Jasmine)
So I don’t really know how did this girl (the one that did my hair) joined Jasmine,
but OMG! I highly doubt if she ever had ANY training to be a hair stylist.
I mean she acted like she had never done a hair cut before. She was hesitating and MEASURING?! my hair.
And when I asked her to do the one from a fashion book she gave me, she said ok. But she totally ruined it. It end up like there’s a PANCAKE on my head (this is not exaggerating). The one on the book has a rounded bang. but she got me straight bang and it looks awful!!!
I don’t know if this has anything to do with her vision? Or it’s simply she doesn’t know how to do hair in general.
I asked her to trim my hair a LITTLE, but it end up with more then 3 inches or so.
I’m not going back to this place! NEVER!

I would’ve given this zero stars if I could. This salon was absolutely horrible. Don’t be fooled by the kind people and nifty looking salon. I asked for a perm, showed them a picture and they said they could do it exactly. What a lie. It ended up horrible. I ended up with frizzy and seriously damaged hair because of a stupid lie.

Jasmin is the best! I’ve been doing the straight perm with her for years now: great price, my hair looks fabulous and feels super soft! Through the course of these years, I’ve tried other treatments and I keep coming back here because this is the one that works best for my hair. One of the best investments ever! I don’t have to waste time getting my hair done now and it always looks great!

(this review is for guys’ haircuts)
Giving a review for a salon is like asking a person to review whether they like vegetables or not. You either like it, or you don’t, it is heavily dependent on personal preference. Large portion of whether the cut was good or not is highly dependent on your own opinion and entirely based on what your own individual style and what your eye perceives as good lookin’.
Finding a salonist that understands your hair and understands what you want has got to be the hardest thing. I’ve gone through the different levels of haircuts from…
the lowest… $ 10 haircuts at Shanghai Salon in Burlingame. Where you tell the barber what you want, and the barber responds: «Ok ok, make it short?» *nod* *nod* *smile* and commences using the buzzer flipping from 1 to 0.5 inch.
to the.
highest… $ 60 haircuts where my hair (or guy’s in general) will technically start growing out of it’s style in a 3 weeks (my hair grows fast). In addition, they probably think it looks nice but I feel like it’s just not «my look».
Which is why I’m so glad I found In Salon and have been getting my hair cut there the last 6 – 7 months. After I get my cut I look and feel like million bucks because Jasmine knows exactly how I like my hair and my style. Jasmine is definitely talented, and she’s able to work with a lot of different styles. She can work that buzzer if you want a military buzzed look or if you want a more Asian (fobby feathered look. that’s what I call it. haha) look then she can do that also which is normally what I get. Yenny works there with her and I think they both are really nice and provide good service and don’t give you the snobby attitude that you really see a lot at salon institutions.
Appointment-​wise, I’ve never had a hard time finding an open time slot to get my hair cut by Jasmine. FYI, Jasmine is the main cutter there (I think she is the owner) and Yenny is also cutting as well. I used to get my haircut originally from Wendy who I really also liked getting it from her is unfortunately on maternity leave or not sure if she’ll be back.
With the cut, you’ll enjoy a large variety of music from soothing jazzy Chinese music to even Justin Bieber’s X’mas album. Jasmine likes her LMFAO beats too, so definitely a lot of flava in her ear ready to be transfered to your hair.
So Party Rock it over to In Salon, but not all of you so I can still get my hair appointments whenever I want.

My fiancé comes here for his hair w/​his stylist Jasmine. She does a GREAT job w/​his HK hairstyle so I assume she’s a great stylist! She was highly recommended to me by a friend and if course my fiancé. I went to her for my first cut. My hair was mid back long. I told her specifically that I wanted an A cut a little pass shoulder length. I even googled her a photo of the hairstyle I wanted. I automatically assume that she knows what she’s doing. She kept trimming and trimming and trimming. I literally left with a BOB cut up to my ear lobes. Very disappointed. My bangs we’re even straight for god sake! I left te salon very sad, for it was the longest hair I ever had b4 the cut and the shortest hair I’ll ever have. I am never letting her cut my hair again! My fiancé can go there all he wants.

It’s a nightmare. If you have thick and curly hair, don’t walk into the salon at all. I don’t know if Jasmin doesn’t have patience to blow dry my hair or what. At the end, she just brutally cut my hair, with the technique I have never seen with other hair stylist. Now, my hair is totally uneven, and I have to go elsewhere to get it fixed.

I was on a mission to find a hair salon, I came from top of the hill all the way down to Ocean. So I came in and just decided to get my hair done here. Man I didnt like how my hair turned out! I had only wanted to get a touch up, (I have light brown hair with pretty blonde highlights) and when she was done with my hair, it came out as wierd funky orange thick strands! Like come on the highlights werent even natural looking and what the f%#$k do I look like havin orange at the top of my head!!! I ended up spending $ 120 SMDH! I def’ cant stand when someone messes up my hair! I literally go nuts! I’m definitely not coming back here.

I’m such a hair noob. I can COUNT on my fingers the amount of times I’ve stepped into a salon for a hair cut over the course of my lifetime.
I’m relatively simple too. A trim please, just a couple inches. Yes, I want it cut straight across… I don’t know any better. Yeah, bowl cuts in style now? Whatever, I trust my stylist completely.
So today I walked in wanting my hair «layered». This new term which I’ve never encountered before. I asked for Wendy since I trusted her instinct to work with my aZn hair and because I’ve seen her twice before.
I was instantly recognized (surprising since I lost the pink hair) and welcomed. I put my entire faith in her and I must say she did an amazing job. My hair falls in soft, literal, layers, crowning my face and creating a beautiful glow. Even my boyfriend approved (apparently I looked like a different person before).
I am so satisfied that I can’t wait to sway my coifs around in the faces of those who originally thought me bland and distasteful. Thank you Wendy for making me feel beautiful again!

I hate this place. when i first came here, i showed her a picture of what i want. She told me it would be good. But in the end, she end up making it super ugly. it was one of the ugliest haircut i ever had. I had to end up tie-​ing up my hair for a few months, my bangs were too short. it was just the worst experience, eveeeer

I have gone to InSalon in the past and have received the best haircuts from Jasmin, which is why I returned 2 weeks ago. I have one length straight hair, no layers, very simple. I also have my hair colored natural brown on top, a layer of blonde underneath to add a little edge then black under that for a more depth… everyone loved my hair
I go in and ask for a trim to just clean up the split ends, Jasmin asks half an inch I suggest 1 full inch. I walk out with 7 inches cut off my hair, she has layered it so that from behind it cut into 3 levels to show my 3 layers of color and feather cut it so much it looks as though I have ultra thin hair. She never asked if I wanted a new style, nor did I ask for one. She never asked to cut my hair in this style, she just simply did it.
I now have to have it re-​cut to clean up this mess, I have to now pay to have it recolored because what was a subtle color now looks GHETTO, not to mention I have to wear what is left up in a ponytail.
I cried for over an hour.
I used to rave about the precision & attention to detail that Jasmin had when cutting hair, but never will I step foot in there again… EVER.
This place is likeplaying Russian Roulette so if you dont care how you look and like to gamble go here, cause if they can Funk UP a basic hair cut like mine… Shoot, good luck to you, I hope you like wearing hats. I wish I didn’t have to give a star at all.

I was considering doing japanese hair straightening treatment for the longest time at about $ 400 – 500. Wendy offered a protein infused treatment that takes ¹⁄₃ of the time and a ¹⁄₃ of the cost. On top of that my hair cut was only $ 22. Wendy does everyone to accomodate people no matter how busy she is. She was very understanding when I said I had a time constraint so if she could do the straghtening and cut in x amount of time I would be grateful… and she delivered.

Wendy did a fabulous job cutting my hair. She only charged me $ 22 for a haircut! I almost fell asleep when she was washing my hair because it was so relaxing. She’s really nice too!
I’ve gone to several salons that charge $ 40+ for a haircut. Yes, I’m one of those girls that spend over $ 40 on a haircut. I used to have a pixie cut until I realized, «why am I wasting all my money getting my hair trimmed?» So I grew it out to an A-​line. But I digress. Sometimes I would leave the salon fully satisfied, other times I would leave unhappy. But today, I was VERY happy with how my hair turned out! It was exactly how I wanted it! My wallet was even more happier than I was! TWENTY TWO DOLLARS for a haircut?! Shoot, that’s an awesome deal! (IMO).
I’ll definitely be back to see Wendy. I think I found my new hair stylist.

Based on the 5 star review for Jasmin, I decided to make an appt for a cheaper hair cut. I made an appt with her for a Friday morning. As I walked in, a woman asked if I was the 10am appt and sat me in Jasmin’s chair. I know this because I saw certificates everywhere that were in her name. I thought to myself, Vidal Sasoon grad, this can’t be too bad.
Turns out I was WRONG. I have never been in pain during a hair cut. Apparently, she doesn’t understand how not to dig nails into someone’s scalp nor properly use a scissor. My hair was destroyed. I went from long, full hair to a short layered look — NOT by my choice. I asked for a trim and got butchered. I have been wearing my hair in a pony tail for a week. Hopefully, in a few months I will have enough hair grown back that I can get a proper hair cut.
The best part of this experience, as I was leaving, the hair dresser told me her name was Wendy! Where the heck was this Jasmin I made the appt with? I was so irrate that I couldn’t be bothered to ask.
I now have my worst hair cut ever and I am short $ 22. Furthermore, the salon is filthy.

Soooo, I’ve been looking for a decent and cheap hair salon for a while now because you know, sometimes a girl just needs some change. After searching around, I finally found this gem. After reading the reviews (all … four of them) of the place, I decided to give it a shot and headed out there. Though I was hoping to get Jasmine (because apparently she is the bomb-​diggity — yeah, who says that anymore?), I got the other woman working in the store instead, Wendy. I was admittedly a little nervous about it, but after telling her in a few words or less what I wanted, she seemed to understand and began snipping away.
I relaxed after a few minutes because I sensed more than saw (I am BLIND without my glasses) that she absolutely knew what she was doing. Plus, she’d stop every now and then and let me look to see if it was to my satisfaction. She knew EXACTLY what I wanted without me ever having to really explain anything and when I saw the end result, I fell absolutely in love. It was perfect.
It’s really hard for me to find a place that cuts hair exactly the way I wanted and they did just that. So on that note, if you’re ever looking to find a really good hair place that’s CHEAP (Wendy’s masterpiece only costed me $ 22.00! TWENTY-​TWO!), I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
Love.

Jasmine is a great stylist. I keep trying to find another salon (closer to where I work for convenience) but I end up coming back to Jasmine — because she listens and spends time on your hair. I’ve never felt rushed. Plus, the salon doesn’t skimp on the shampooing part of the appointment. It’s a very relaxing experience. For the price $ 22, I highly recommend Jasmine.

Jasmin is the best!!! My boyfriend has been a regular client at this salon for many years, and when he took me to the salon 3 years ago for highlight and cut, I too became her regular. Jasmin is very friendly and helpful. She never pushes anyone to buy the products or get any treatment like many fancy salon I went to. The price is affordable. I’ve never been disappointed with the result, so five stars for Jasmin and In Salon!

Finally found someone who cuts Asian hair without a shaver ;-) Actually the best part is the wash and rinse. I almost fall asleep from relaxation every time they wash my hair. .. THEN they rinse it again before the final drying/​styling. You can almost always get in during morning hours, afternoons are tougher.
Jasmin Ma does the cutting and Tina the washing!
