Customer Reviews
For the customer service and empathy from the manager alone, this is a 5 star studio. I had come for a haircut last week and had asked for layers. While the front looked great, I had not inspect the back until I was home, and unfortunately, I was not happy with it. When I called the studio about this issue, the manager called me back and was apologetic, gave me a refund, and offered to bring me back Sunday to fix my hair. This was INCREDIBLE customer service from her. The service they’ve given me was so personal, compassionate, and caring. This completely flipped my opinion of this experience, and I would highly recommend giving this studio a try.
I have undercut I’m still growing. Eddy did not fuss about my undercut and still executed the style I asked for. Eddy “thinned” my hair and I must say, this is the best discovery for me because my hair is very very heavy type of hair. This is also why I have had undercut in the past. I really appreciate that Eddy offered to “thin” my hair. (Thank you!!!) Eddy will carefully go through layers of my hair and snip stands of hair under the style Eddy already created. I felt very light and happy! I can do pony tail anytime I want without having a headache! I would definitely recommend this place for anyone :)
Thought I’d go to a local place because I like supporting local businesses and thought nothing of it when I noticed no pricing signs thinking how expensive can one haircut be. I’m a simple person that just gets a #2 fade around the sides and nothing cut off the top since I’m growing it out. Took less than 15 mins for my very easy haircut. Turns out my simple haircut was $50. So here I am with fifty less dollars and hairs all over my face saying to go elsewhere that’s more transparent/flexible with the prices of the services they offer. (Also she cut my hair shorter than a 2, it doesn’t look like a fade to me and after washing my hair it appears she cut hairs that shouldn’t have been)
Went to this salon twice.. once for the keratin treatment when they just wanted to finish the job, they didn’t let my hair marinate for long enough which led to poor results. Especially the guy in the salon, he has no professionalism nor he cares for the client’s satisfaction. All he want is a huge tip. Don’t mind paying the tip but at least do the job well. Second time when I took my daughter for hair cut, they did an average haircut, charged $60, this kind of haircut would have been done at other places for no more than $25. Although the lady with short hair was kind and willing to do her job, this man was pushing her to hurry. I would never go to them.. after all this they had the audacity to force TIP.. WORST experience!!
I’ve been coming here ever since I was a little girl. I swear by this place and I really recommend you go! Everyone here is so kind and welcoming and Eddie, the hairstylist, is incredible at what he does. Whenever I show him a picture of what I want done he recreates it perfectly. Most recently I asked for a hush cut with dramatic layers and curtain bangs and I got so many compliments on my hair. The products they use here are great and I especially recommend SJ Studio if you have Asian hair. ❤️❤️❤️
