Can you make an appointment or is it walk-ins only? How busy are Mondays and weekends?
A:
Hi Lauren, It's the best to call and make an appointment. While we always welcome walk-ins, it's almost always busy since most people make appointments nowadays. Thanks

Great place for a trim! Helen was very knowledgable about my hair type and what would look best when framing my face. She explained to me very clearly what she was going to do before cutting my hair. She was also super quick and efficient. Will definitely be coming back :)
Just as a heads up, this place is cash only!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ichor B.San Francisco, CA107119Aug 4, 2024
Great haircuts at good prices with minimal chitter chatter. I like it. These are more characters to fill up the 85 character minimum.

Been coming to Helen for all my cuts since 2021 and studios were allowed to reopen. She's awesome -- easy to book an appointment with, good technique, amazing prices for the Bay Area for the quality of cut, and fast. I'm usually in/out of her studio within 15-20 minutes max. She always is able to cut to whatever style I'm looking for, based on the photos I show her, and also has really good pricing for doing a balayage (~$100 and only took 1hr - 90min for the whole thing). She is cash only, FYI.

One side was significantly and noticeably shorter than the other by maybe 1 inch. You get what you pay for though- women's haircuts are only 25 dollars.

I love this place. She is literally such a nice and funny person. She really does care about how satisfied a customer is which is so important!! I got a color removal and color in 3 hours but conversing with her made time go by a lot faster. Highly recommend she's the best!

I came here once before and I really liked the haircut she gave me. I asked for more layers this time and she did great. She also gave me a sample of a shampoo for me to try to help with my heavy headed hair. I really appreciated that. She does get really busy, make an appointment. The process was really easy and she was incredibly nice.

This is still the place I will continue going to get my hair cut or dyed. Helen is very attentive to details. She listens to what you want to have done. The price is very reasonable, cash only. I was in and out in 20mins for a haircut and my hair was long.
It does get busy since she's the only one there so be patient, if you call and get voice mail, either leave a message and she will call back later or call again later. It's worth it.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 1Business owner information

Hello Jen
Glad that you had a great experience with us. We always try to do our best and will continue to provide quality product and service always.Feb 2, 2018Previous reviewYou can never leave this place an unhappy customer. Helen will try to get as close to what you want as she can.
I made an appointment for today on thursday, wanting to get a cut and kind of like balayage coloring. Came in at 2pm and can tell the owner had her hands full, considering there were like three people there already and only her doing everything.
She told me that she will get to me soon and that she was running a bit late, I was fine waiting as I can tell she was trying to get the ones ahead done.
When it came time for me, I told her I wanted my hair cut how long and layered and showed her a photo of the color and style that I wanted. She understood immediately and got to work.
In between helping people, and a lot of phone call coming in (can tell she is very busy, she does a great job so ofcourse everyone would want her), I was finished by 6pm.
The color/style/highlights came out really well and it look close to the picture that I show her. My total came to $90, I thought the total would be like around $150s for everything that she's done to my hair (washed and tone like three or four times).
Overall I am extremely happy with my new look and I will continue to come here either for a cut or color. On a note, its best to make a call for an appointment or to see if she's free, she does get quite busy. She can speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin.Sep 3, 2016Previous reviewCame in at 10am after making an appointment the day before. Wanted to get a haircut and japanese straightening. The whole process took a little under three hours.
Helen (owner) asked me what I wanted and how I wanted then started. She also told me the price of everything first ($130).
Throughout the procedure, there were a few people who comes in asking if there was any time for haircut or trim. Every time she reply with there's no time right now but will have time after 2pm or 4pm. There was only me and another girl who was getting her hair dyed. That tells me that she really pay attention to her customers and gives her whole time to them. Thats a plus for me because I know she will do her best.
I was told not to wash my hair for two days and don't tie it in a ponytail. I asked about coloring afterward and was told I can color after two days. I told her that coloring had to wait atleast a two weeks. She told me that now the items for straightening is more advance so much better.
I left with a great hair cut and beautifully straight hair for a great price. Thank you, Helen, Im definitely going to be a regular of your salon from now on. - Oct 5, 2022
One of the best haircuts I've ever gotten! I was due for a haircut and found this salon on Yelp. I was able to schedule over the phone for the same day (a Friday afternoon). I had to wait a little bit for the previous appointment to be done, but it wasn't a problem. I was lucky to get a slot since the salon was fully booked that day!
I showed the stylist some pictures of what I wanted, and she was attentive and asked clarifying questions to make sure the details were right. My hair had gotten really long, and I wanted some lighter layers and curtain bangs, while maintaining some length - she gave me exactly that! Not to mention, this was one of the best priced haircuts I'd found at a well-reviewed salon.
I love it a lot and will definitely be coming back! You won't regret checking this salon out!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 18, 2023
Love how Mona is so knowledgeable and trustworthy when it comes to hair! Told her exactly what I wanted and she delivered. She was quick and efficient. Didn't cut more than I wanted and she gave me exactly what I asked for. She such a sweet hair stylist!

Luckily was able to get a last-minute appointment due to a cancellation the same day last week. I got a wash, shampoo, and cut. The total came out to be $45.
Bring a photo of your desired hairstyle if you can for reference! She was very efficient and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. She also taught me how to style and shape my curtain bangs so they fell how they did in the photo I brought.
I really enjoy my haircut so far and will definitely come back again when I need another.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1
