M & L Hair Care

I stopped going to get my brows done after some lady messed it up at another location. I was traumatized and hated my brows so much I just plucked them at home. Of course the results were not the same.
It was about last week when I realized okay. these things really have to get fixed PROFESSIONALLY. I was desperate and asked my friends who they went to. They recommended me this lady named Cindy and shes great!!! I can finally trust again and I highly recommended her. THANK YOU CINDY FOR FIXING ME UP!!!

I have been going to Cindy for my eyebrow ever since she was at the threading store next to Nordstrom’s inside the Arcadia mall. Cindy is very patient and give will you honest suggestions (and listen to yours) about the shape of your brows and she is the only person I trust with mine!

I have been on the hunt for my eyebrow lady for months, I settled for Kaya because the price is so hard to beat although their work is never consistent. My prayers have been answered when one of my friends recommended Cindy! She was honest letting me know my eyebrows are uneven and she will do her best to fix them. She told me to let them grow out a bit so she can even them out the next time I come in. She was so friendly! I told her she will be definitely be seeing me more often. I love how my eyebrows came out! I don’t have to put so much effort now when I’m getting ready because my eyebrows are even now.

I got another hair cut yesterday after about six months from my first haircut. I’m not that pleased. I showed her a picture of how I’d like it and that’s what I usually do and it turns out fine. I showed her the same picture as last time, and it was the exact cut I wanted, but this time not so much.
However, this time I came home and after my shower I noticed that my hair flips out at the bottom. I really don’t like it because it’s annoying and I always have to do stuff to fix it. I like it when my hair is very low maintenance and I don’t need to put any product or blow dry it daily, but this hair cut might require me to put in extra time and effort to get it to look «normal.»
As always, Ada was super kind and friendly and efficient. Price was still the same at $ 16, but I wasn’t happy with my haircut. Maybe that was my fault for not speaking up because I should’ve asked her to fix it before I walked out of her salon, but I didn’t feel like it could be fixed at that point.
If I come again, I’ll be sure to be more vocal during the cutting process.

I am not going to give this place a «one» star since I really thought that I was going to get a really good haircut from Ada, whom the other Unilocalers have been writing great positive reviews about. However, I came here on an early afternoon and there was a non-​Asian lady who was available. Ada was busy cutting another person’s hair at the time.
I asked for shoulder length with layers and side-​swept bangs. I thought it was a decent job and so I gave her a pretty good tip. My hair was still wet; she didn’t offer to blow-​dry or style it. So when I went home, my hair was more settled and I was very disappointed with the hairstyle. My hair length was uneven and the layering wasn’t even done right! (Perhaps that’s why she didn’t want to blow-​dry my hair afterwards?)
Overall, I went elsewhere to get an immediate fix STAT. My haircut here was $ 16 (without tip). I was very disappointed with my experience here. If I were to come here again, I would only ask for Ada. :(

I was lucky to find such a professional, kind and awesome barber after my old barber retired. Once you find someone that cuts your hair just the way you want it, you tend to want to keep coming back. I’ve had her cutting my hair for 8 years!!! After she moved I tried the barbershop that took over her old place. It just wasn’t the same, but I kept going back because it was close to home.
Recently the barber really fucked up my hair so I took a chance and went to Ada’s new shop to see if she could fix it. She worked a miracle and fixed my cut back to perfection. She even told me what the other barber was doing wrong.
I will never doubt Ada again, shes one of the best barbers ive ever come across. Oh and always give her a big tip… why?! Because shes awesome.

i LOVE crystal (I call her that from her old shop & i hope she doesnt mind) i love her; i have thick, curly hair & LOTS of it & am going gray now to top it off
anyway, I stayed in Arcadia over the summer & she was up the street from my sisters place, so I started going there, crystal is AWESOME, my hair looks great, I get tons of compliments on it (when it’s freshly done by crystal)

I’ve been going to Ada to get my haircut for years. When I learned she relocated to this location, I of course followed. Really nice and clean place, they do a great job and don’t charge an arm and a leg. Totally recommend coming here and please ask for Ada. Everyone else also does a nice job too and are very friendly.

Okay, I’ve come here twice now, and both times I’ve had great cuts. I’m too old now to care whether I get a fancy hair cut now for 45 bucks. This place costs me $ 15 bucks. I walked in, also. The first time I had the very nice stylist… cannot remember her name though, sorry. But she gave me a great, very simple cut that I asked for. I was in and out in a short time. When I went in today I had Socorro who gave me a layered cut. Fantastic cuts for 15 bucks. I would def reccomend.

My Goodness. Finally got my long over semi annual hair trim just in time for the Chinese New Year.
Ada is such a sweet heart, she was able to fit me into her busy schedule, even tho I called in the day before.
She was able to accommodate me as her last customer that evening, worked out perfectly, since her salon is on the way home for me from work.
Customer Services:
Perfect! She is very nice, friendly and very gentle.
Being gentle is very important, I have gone to ones before where their attempts to ‘massage’ was literally ripping your hair from the root by digging their nails into your scalp.
Not Ada, very gentle and I love it!
While trimming off all my dead ends, we made small talks.
Talked about a lot of things: food, Chinese TV series, work, family & friends.
I also found out she speaks a few different dialects of Chinese: Cantonese, Chew Chow and Mandarin.
Which is perfect for catering the Asian community.
Price:
Reasonable, super affordable.
Mine was just $ 12 and I think for Men is $ 9.
She also does: hair coloring, perms, and haircuts for all ages.
Payment:
Credit Card accepted, no hidden fees.
I feel like she is so hip, she uses the swipe on her phone.
And of course, cash is accepted.
Will I return: Yes, most def, I will. Probably going to go with bangs next time around. :)
Recommend to family & friends: Yes, Ada would be perfect for my aunties, they love being able to chit chat with the hair stylist.

Update −3÷1÷15 My last couple visits were not good. My hair wasn’t cut right. It was a major disappointment.
The new owner, Ada, is great! She has recently moved to M&L Hair Care. I am so glad that she is still cutting hair. She has cut my hair for 2 years now. She does a great job.

Mary, the former owner, has sold M & L Hair Care but has NOT retired!
Mary Inagaki is still cutting hair, and now works at Hair & Company on Baldwin Ave.(at Naomi) in Arcadia, in the strip mall next to CVS.
I am giving one star because the new owner and her employee are falsely telling customers that Mary has retired.

My wife has been going to Ada, previously operated Crystal Hair Salon in Arcadia, for over 2 years now. She is super happy to have found Ada as her hair dresser. My wife has the typical chinese hair, it is very thick and coarse, also a bit curly. A lot of the hair dressers do not know how to handle them. To make the hair smooth and managable, they would either cut it really really short or apply straightening product to it. One time, a hair dresser had cut her hair so short that it looked just like my hair cut, which is so short, that I called her ET. Ada knows how to handle her hair, she gives her style. My wife has never been so pleased with her hair style. She looks stunning and vibrant every time after she received a cut from Ada. The colour that Ada did for my wife also seemed to last much longer. My wife said the colour solution that Ada used on her made her hair soft and shinny. Ada’s fee is very reasonable. My wife used to spend over hundred each time for cut and colour, but with Ada, it is just ¹⁄₃ of what she would usually spend.
When my wife first found that Crystal hair @ Arcadia was closed, she was almost in tears, afraid not able to locate Ada. She was so glad to find that Ada has moved to Temple City and is now operating under M&L Hair Care, inside the Value Mart mall at the corner of Rosemead Blvd and Longden Ave. My wife just had her hair done by Ada at her new location yesterday, and she looks great.
