Artistic Hair Design

I called Wayne at the Artistic Hair Designs to get price quoted; he told me over the phone that short hair perm is $ 60. But when the job was done, Wayne charged me for $ 80. I was pretty upset but did not want to fight with him, as It’s so embarrassing. ** I have short hair, up to the ears. The perm was not wavy as I expected; the style came out completely different than the picture that I showed him! VERY DISAPPOINTED! ;-(((
When it come to the end for paying, his attitude was very rude, unfriendly, and annoying, as he though I wouldn’t tip him and his assistance. I paid $ 80.00 plus $ 15 tips for a short hair done.
$ 80 for a short hair perm is pretty pricey! my hair turned out one side is longer than the other! I am not happy with my hair after all. Will not come back to Wayne for sure!

I am very happy with my haircut from Wayne. I showed him a picture of what I want and he achieved it! He took his time and explained to me what he was doing. I always wanted a short hair style but was always scared that hairstylist will mess it up. Thank you Wayne for giving me the look I always wanted but scared to try. Definitely recommend him!

In order to be certain with the outcome, I’ve waited for 2 weeks, and here is the review.
I would have never found Artistic Hair Design and the hairdresser/​stylist Wayne, on my own, or through Unilocal (with zero photo and a few reviews).
Since being new to LA, and it has been 5 months without any trim, I randomly asked the first girl I saw with the hairstyle I like (at zinc café). She was surprised but kind enough to share the contact number. «It’s not exactly a fancy salon, but Wayne is really good.»
I took her word and made the same day reservation with Wayne.
The salon is indeed not fancy. I decided to discuss with Wayne about the style I wished for, before sitting down. The discussion began in English and drifted into Chinese (with [heated] back-​n-​forth explanation from both sides). I settled with Wayne’s «Oh. Trust me. I will make it pretty.»
$ 30 (long hair, incl. wash, cut, blow dry, excl. tips) is more than satisfying. The lady gently washed the hair and Wayne worked his magic. (Yes, as mentioned in other reviews, it also turned out a couple of inches shorter, but better than I wanted.)
There are few advice I would say if anyone is interested/​curious,
— state which style is a definite no-​no, and leave the rest to Wayne.
— the idea length to tell Wayne is a few inches longer than your expectation.
— English, Mandarin, Vietnamese (and maybe even Cantonese).
It was a surprisingly good experience with Artistic Hair Design.

Because of this I have to created my Unilocal acct for this review.
This is piss me off!
This guy is good hair cutter but when he cut don’t talk to him too much. He need to concentrated to do on his job.
I saw couple of time he cut other customer at the end they always complain to short or too long. If you want he cut your hair the way you want explain and serious to tell him to let him know you are very serious about your hair style.
good for gamma style. He always rush to the next customer. Please, uncle take your time if you good customer are willing to wait for you. If you rush for next end up bad job is customer last time no return.
Cheap! What can I expected to all ladies, not very lucky to find a good hair dresser.
I take whatever it is or may be I don’t care much about my hair stylist.
I base on review and go back to give him a another chance.
I gave 3 start service are o. k

Long overdue review from a year ago! I’m very picky with my hair and rarely ever go back to the same place twice. I’ve tried high end to mid-​range salons all over the bay and I must say that the haircut I got at Artistic Hair Design by Wayne was the second best haircut I’ve ever received in my life. Second best as in my second time, not in terms of ranking. The first time I loved my haircut was years ago at
in Milpitas, but Joe, the owner, had horrible time management skills. I had an appointment and he made me wait an hour. No matter how great the haircut was, I vowed never to go back.
I was in LA looking on Unilocal for a good hair salon and since it was last minute (knowing that the popular places would already be booked), I chose Artistic Hair Design. I basically made a gamble because this place has absolutely no photos and at the time, only around 6 or 7 reviews. I called and made an appointment for that day.
The salon itself is pretty old looking and it seemed to be in a kind of janky area of Alhambra. There was a large parking lot in the back. Wayne was very friendly and honest about what would suit me. I mean, there are many hair stylists out there that will give you advice, but not many do an excellent job on what they tell you you should have. I usually thin out my hair and get layers all over with a V shape in the back along with cutting my bangs. Wayne did everything so perfectly. He told me whoever cut my hair prior to him did not do a good job on the layers and knew exactly where to cut my bangs up to so it would look natural. You know those haircuts that only look good the day of, and then the day after it looks crappy? That did not happen here. He was also very talkative and we conversed in Cantonese, although I’m pretty sure he also speaks Vietnamese.
My haircut was about $ 30 I believe, excluding tip. I usually have pretty long hair a little past my chest.
I’m definitely coming back here the next time I need a haircut and am in SoCal. Thank you Wayne: D.

Have been looking for a stylist for over a decade. Thanks to Unilocal,I found Wayne. Looks like I can stop the search. He seems artistic and talented. He is also very knowledgeable about what goes well with your specific hair type/​growth. Highly recommended. Only thing is that he doesn’t wash your hair, someone else does. Therefore, you end up tipping twice!

I came here to get a haircut since I just moved to Alhambra. The charge about ~$ 30 bucks for a haircut for people with long hair and about ~$ 20 bucks for short hair. The staff is so nice and I was happy with my haircut. I would definitely come back.

Wayne is extra caring and i always receive the best treatment and haircut. Been going to him for 4 years now and will continue to do so. I would highly recommend going.

The male owner gave me a fantastic bob haircut! I got lots of compliments from my co-​workers, friends, and family. For the price he charges and the quality of the haircut, the price is really reasonable.

I don’t normally review salons, but I have to let people know how great Artistic Hair Design is. There are two stylists there, and they have a regular following (of which I’m one). I have been going to see May for years.
As a guy, I’m not really into hanging out at the salon, but they at least make it comfortable. I always end up having a fun conversation as I’m getting my hair cut. She really gets to know her customers – and I appreciate that differentiation over the normal haircut mills.
The salon is nice and clean. Nothing too extravagant. The prices are reasonable. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not an expert in women’s hair trends, but judging from the reviews and the other regular customers I always run into, they’re doing something right!
I find that it’s best to call ahead for an appointment. They’re certainly accommodating when you walk in, but sometimes you have to wait a while because there are other people with that same idea.

It is my first time to come to this place for a hair cut. Wayne is the person who cut my hair and I like it very much. Once I told him what style I wanted it, it turned out perfect.
His price is reasonable and with his experience for over ten years. I definitely would come back again.

Excellent place your get your hair cut! This place has the best hair stylist you can find around town! I was looking forward to get a new, fresh haircut and this place did the perfect job. The stylist was very professional and knows the latest trends. I wanted a fashionable hair style and the hair cut was amazing. I LOVED IT. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking forward to have a nice hair cut. Remember, the first thing people look at is the face and the hair. Would most certainly come back again!

I heard about this hair salon from my friend so I thought about coming here with my best friend because she needed a haircut. This place looks like a regular hair salon from the outside but the interior looked clean and nice, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. :)
I liked the hair cut that they gave my friend because it was very fashionable at a reasonable price. They did a fabulous job! I will come back to get my hair cut next time!

I always go there for my haircuts. The owner, Wayne, who does my hair, speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, and English. I usually talk to him in Mandarin. He cuts your hair very carefully and nicely. He is definitely not «afraid» to cut, as can some hair stylists. A bunch of my girl friends have asked me where I get my hair done, and then I show them the business card that I got from there. I have lots of hair, and he knows how to thin it down (not by layering), even though I get it layered too. This place is recommended!
The price is very reasonable. For long hair, he charges about $ 30. I tip him $ 5, so about $ 35 total. Also, you’re supposed to tip the lady who washes your hair, many people don’t know that. They think that they just need to tip the barber. I give her about $ 2 – 3 tip. So, altogether, when I leave the salon, I’ll have spent around $ 37 – 8.
They are closed on Mondays.
