Cocohead Hair Studio: Where Expertise Meets Excellence

I've been a loyal customer at Cocohead Hair Studio since 2014, and with every visit, I'm reminded of why I keep coming back. Owned by the talented Ernie, this studio is a gem nestled in the heart of Chinatown, and here's why it stands out:

Asian Hair Whisperer: Ernie's mastery in cutting Asian hair is unparalleled. As an Asian male with straight, thick hair that's often challenging to manage, finding a veteran stylist like Ernie has been a game-changer. He not only understands the unique characteristics of Asian hair but also listens attentively to my preferences. With a quick reference from Google, Ernie effortlessly crafts hairstyles that exceed expectations every time. Just show him a pic from Google, and boom, you're sorted.

Affordable Luxury: Cocohead offers top-notch service without breaking the bank. The price point is reasonable, reflecting the high quality of service you receive. It's a testament to their commitment to providing exceptional value to their clients.

Convenient Location: Situated in the vibrant Chinatown area, Cocohead is easily accessible via public transport, making it a convenient stop for anyone in the city. Located just minutes away from the Red Line, it's surrounded by a plethora of fantastic restaurants, making it the perfect spot for a day out in town.

Stellar Staff: Ernie's wife, Sue, is also part of the Cocohead team, and her expertise adds to the studio's stellar reputation. Together, they create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where clients feel valued and appreciated.

Impeccable Ambiance: Cleanliness and safety have always been top priorities at Cocohead, and this commitment has only been reinforced by the latest COVID safety protocols. The studio is impeccably clean, sanitized, and Ernie and Sue consistently adhere to all safety measures, including wearing masks.

In conclusion, Cocohead Hair Studio is more than just a salon--it's your go-to spot for killer hair and good vibes. Whether you're looking for a fresh new look or simply need a trim, Ernie will go above and beyond to make sure you leave looking and feeling like a...

Went out of my way to try this place for the first time, based on the high reviews. The barber gave me a stunningly bad haircut. In the days following the cut, it has literally made me laugh out loud and I wonder what he was thinking.

This salon knows the traditional “Asian” hairstyles. This stylist was not creative outside of that and certainly not responsive to specific requests that are not typical. I got a very classic, traditional bob for an Asian woman, which was not what I asked for. I showed reference pictures which the barber glanced at for maybe one second before stating that he knew exactly what I wanted.

It is especially funny because he said he was glad I asked for a short cut because then he could show his skill. (This makes me laugh.) he does not work with natural hair texture. He thinned out my hair so that the ends looked like straw sticking out. He did not touch up the ends. He methodically gave me three uniform layers all over- three horizontal cuts for each layer. I expect better attention to detail especially from someone working with Asian hair. By the end, the haircut fell flat, sort of just hanging around my face. This is the same mistake white hairstylists make on Asian hair.

I told him I didn’t like it and he said I could fix it by getting a perm… first of all, this could be prevented by the start by listening carefully to the client and not assuming. Second, I didn’t come in wanting a perm and I said i was looking for a low maintenance cut… obviously this is not an acceptable solution. The solution is a better haircut! :) but ummm yeah obviously I won’t be returning.

I have chosen to leave out the name of the...

Lucas T. IS THE MAN! I went into Coco Head on Veterans Day Friday after having lunch with a friend at a chinatown eatery, where I saw a young man with purple toned silver hair. I've been wanting to dye my hair silver for some time now, and just decided today was the day.

After lunch, My friend and I strolled over to Coco Head on her recommendation. We walked in, and Lucas was sitting at the host stand. I asked if they could dye my hair silver, and he said "of course, sure, When did you want to come in?" When I responded - "Uh I know the chances are slim, but how about right now? I'm in a mood to be spontaneous". Lucas looked at the schedule and said, "Ok, I can do it right now, and directed me to a chair, where he started combing and looking at my hair - assessing his gameplan.

The whole way, Lucas was really great, asking if I've ever done my hair like this, and upon my letting him know that I tried bleaching my own hair once, but never really did anything like this - he was awesome at letting me know what to expect/when it might tingle/that a huge chunk-o-stuff that came off of my scalp while he combed was cotton and not in fact my hair.

Lucas was also talkative, but not cumbersome with his conversation. He was engaged but not a pest, and was sure to make certain I was comfortable while there - even getting me a cup of water at one point. He also went on to take other clients, and other than one brief stint where I wondered if he had forgotten me, he was great at checking back in to see how my hair was progressing.

The hair turned out great, and I will definitely be going back to see...
