Read more8/24/2025--First time appointment with Cheng today for a bleach, tone, and cut--10/10!
I have long hair, naturally black but I've been coloring it a "peach milk tea" for over 1 year now. Went in for an all-over bleach, tone & cut and Cheng took care of me in 4 hours. Not bad honestly since in-between appointments I use a brown wella color mask which left behind red visible once we started the bleach.
I booked online and went in knowing exactly what I wanted with pictures for reference. I would recommend this for anyone who is a native English speaker (or just doesn't speak or understand Mandarin) since when I was there in-person there was a lot of Google Translate happening 😅
One caution though, do NOT come here expecting a great hair wash experience.

Read moreI've been around several barber shop in the Linda Vista area and became so frustrated at the low quality these barbers think they could get away with just because their clients are kids. As a mom, I feel taken advantage of simply because I am a woman.
I decided to switch it up and explore in the Kearney Mesa area. I am glad I did because for the same price, Cheng treated my boys just like any well paying customers that deserve an excellent quality haircut. My boys' hair turned out to be amazingly good! They like it so much because it comes with a hair wash too, so they definitely want to come back to this place. Their haircut really boost their confidence. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to...
