Hair do ✂ — Local services in Los Angeles

The hair salon is located in the center of Koreatown, close to where I live, and walk-in service was available, so I visited there. I didn't think it was a big deal since I just went there to get my hair done. I forgot to ask the price in advance, it was very expensive and I had to tip. The receptionist asked me what service I wanted, and when I said I would just get a haircut, she guided me to the dressing room. She gestured not so kindly toward her dressing room. She directed me to come over to shampoo, and she spoke English, so I told her I could also speak Korean and English bc she is Korean, not good English, and she didn't speak at all from then on, and she seemed busy talking to someone else. After shampooing and being guided to the haircut area, she told the first woman at the reception that she was good at cutting hair so she could take care of it and she left. The woman who worked as a stylist didn't seem skilled, but she seemed like she was trying hard. I thought she looked like her trainee, and she didn't seem friendly at all. And after she cut my hair, she dried my hair and said she was checking the length of myr hair and kept cutting it for a while longer. As I was drying my hair, another woman at the reception came over and just said “You probably don’t like your hair, but your hair is pretty good and it will be fine if you give it a treatment.” I think it's a strange comment, I love my hair and it's ok. I have work to do today, so I'll try it next time. thanks. Then she said I like your personality, made a strange comment and disappeared. The price was $70 for a women's haircut, and the tip was $15. I was surprised at how ridiculously expensive it was. The reason I don't recommend it is because you won't be respected if you use Korean. We recommend that you use English, and if you are going to speak Korean, we recommend that you put on makeup and...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this salon. My experience was beyond exceptional. I have always wanted to bleach and dye my hair, but it’s never been an option for me as I have very fragile, damaged hair. The manager Joyce recommended colored hair extensions as an alternative option, and omg it’s a game changer. I got the prettiest platinum purple shade and I am so thrilled with my results. The number of compliments I’ve received has been a confidence booster haha. I’ve had my extensions for over a week now and even as someone with sensory issues, it hasn’t bothered me at all past day 2. The extensions are so natural looking and so easy to take care of. I have no problems washing my hair or even brushing and drying it.

The lovely Joyce and another pretty young woman applied my extensions and the level of care and detail was tangible. They both constantly ensured that I was comfortable and they really went over the moon to ensure that I was happy with the areas of application. The salon itself is so upscale, pretty, and clean. All the employees are super nice, friendly, and evidently skilled. Even just getting my hair washed there is a treat haha.

And the best part is that their prices are extremely fair and reasonable for the quality of care and the products. Yes, I will absolutely be going back for all my hair salon needs and ya best believe I’m getting these...

I got a hair perm here several times and liked the end result. HOWEVER, 3 stars for the pricing. The first time I got a haircut AND perm and paid $120, but the more times I came in the more the price increased. And for no reason at all. I didn’t even get a haircut the other times, just a perm touch up but it cost $200! Every time the price increased by at least $20, and I would not do anything special. I think they did it cause I’m not Korean? The end result of the haircut here is good, but I would just be careful with the bill at the end especially if you’re not Korean. I also noticed they treat Korean customers better than non-Korean customers… there are also some workers here who aren’t fluent in English so it helps to know the language or have a friend with you that knows it. It seems now post the prices online, so that’s good and you’re able to keep track of how much you have to pay.

Unfortunately I won’t be a returning customer since there are other places more welcoming towards everyone and aren’t shady with price increases. The haircut and perm was great, just not good enough to make up for the other aspects.

TLDR: End product is good. Service is okay, you’re treated better if you’re Korean or speak the language. Pricing can be iffy, now prices are posted online, but if it ever increased every single time you visit, ask why and if...
