She-A

Really nice korean lady and usually I am prejudiced against my own kind.
My mother looooooves to get her hair done, so our second day in Colorado my sister had set up hair and massage appointments.
Now we made appointments for all 3 of us. Let’s just say she pretty much charged us for what one person would have been charged with in Atlanta. My sister and I only had a trim but my mother also got highlights, a perm, and extra laser beauty treatments. In addition, she sent us off with homemade gifts of crocheted kitchen scrubbies and key chains.
My highlights in Atlanta cost $ 200. Total service for ALL three of us was way less than that!
To reemphasize, she does have you crouch facing her on a swivel chair and hang your head upside down so she can initially even out your hair.
I did say no thinning, no thinning, and she said ok, but I think she thinned it a bit, but she actually knew what she was doing.
Like my hair looks good. My sisters hair looks good. And most importantly, my mom looks good! So I’m very happy with the service and Jessica must be on crack.
My sister is going back for a perm and if I lived here I’d go back to her too. She has talent and the best prices! Win win.

I should have left as soon as she didn’t want to cut my hair the way I wanted it to be done.
So, I told her I wanted it layered and to cut half an inch. She proceeded to then tell me no no, you need to cut it more. I was like why? she said because you don’t have much hair and you need to cut it. She said don’t worry your hair will still be long in fact it will look even longer. I was really nervous but i was like okay, she was recommended and reviewers seemed to respond to her positively. and then this is where the fun starts. Besides, I was in the chair and honestly I have never walked out on a stylist before. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Professional Conduct failure #1
She then asked me «how many months is your baby?» okay first off. When is this ever a question that she be asked? I have never in my entire fucking 24 years been asked that question. Even when I was overweight. I proceeded to tell her, i am not pregnant and she was like oh, really? No apology, no nothing. Nice customer service.
So then she proceeded to tell me to bend over and began what was supposed to be a «cut.» She did not «cut» my hair. what she proceeded to do was hack and chop off all my long long hair. like seriously SHE HACKED It. She KNEW I had very little hair. She even said it as a justification for cutting off more of my hair. Why would she then proceed to thin out my hair using excessive layers is beyond me. Before she cut my hair, I had a fairly good sized pony tail. Now? Now?! I have absolutely nothing, my hair if you put it up on a pony tail is half in diameter as it used to be. As soon as she saw my face she was like «you’re panicking. your hair is still long.» and im like WTF? You know how fobs or emo kids have excessive layers and 2 long strands of hair? Yeah. she’s fucking right. my TWO long strands of hair did seem long compared to my excessively short layers. She’s damn right that they DO look longer but WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF MY HAIR!!! TWO LONG STRANDS OF HAIR DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AS HAVING LONG HAIR. it would almost be better if she just did what she wanted to do and just giv me some ugly choppy bob. I am absolutely LIVID.
Professional conduct failure #2
She then proceeded to ask me about getting a magic perm. Where I said no, it’s okay I prefer to do nothing to my hair. She then proceeded to say «oh okay so you want it to be dry and frizzy.» Who does this? What type of professional stylist does this?! Does she even qualify as a professional? I understand you’re supposed to push for products, but to go as far as to insult a customer? This is completely unacceptable. I know what those perms do to your hair. They make your hair look AMAZING for a short while but within a month your hair will not only look WORSE but it will be brittle and incredibly damaged. I am not the type of girl that you can just beguile into doing this type of shit. I know my hair and I know products and I DEFINITELY know a lot about hair perms. I’ve done my research and this woman, wow is all that I can say.
oh and the best thing? if I already have dry hair, like she claims that I do why would she then proceed to FLAT IRON MY HAIR without a heat protectant? Who does this? Is she purposely trying to cause my hair to be more damaged and frizzy? You should never ever EVER EVER EVER do anything heat wise to your hair without FIRST applying a heat protectant people. This is the ONLY way to try to protect your hair from damage.
So, in the end. here I am with an incredibly stupid hair cut. It’s almost a joke what has been done to me. This is like a loophole in a contract that you fail to see. The rest of my hair is in this fucked up fobby bob but alas, I have TWO LONG STRANDS of hair! Oh and the icing on the cake? When I proceeded to pay she then asked if i was MARRIED. why??? do I have a ring on my left hand? Is it because I look that old? I am so confused. Why would she think it’s appropriate to ask that question? This lady does not seem to have any ideas on what professional conduct is about. I understand that older asian ladies get a free pass on rudeness, but wow this lady went full out attacking me left and right. and I was the dumbass that stayed in the chair because I didn’t want to be rude and leave.
If she would’ve given me an awesome haircut I would have given her 5 stars. I am not the type of person to judge an establishment just by customer service alone. Customer service is honestly the last thing on my mind when I write reviews but this lady just takes the cake. I will keep going back to even the most racist and rude restaurants if the food is good.

Love this salon! I’ve been going there for such a long time, and she’s very friendly and chatty. A cute Korean lady that’s always wearing rather thick sandals to compensate for her height, I have never had a bad haircut with her. I usually give her a picture of what I vaguely would like and she makes sure it suits my head shape and all.
My sister and I always get layers– like the previous review, she makes you kneel on the chair and place your forehead on the back of the chair. She’s very efficient as well– If we need to be out in an hour, she gets us out within the hour and looking fabulous at that.
My mother usually tells her to cut her hair short and just make it look good. She’s tried all sorts of styles on her and all of them have looked fantastic. My sister has even fallen asleep during her haircuts, and despite the head bobbing, they all have turned out well.
She’s excellent at correcting nightmares of a haircut– after donating several inches to locks of love, she fixed all the uneven ends and my hair was gorgeous afterwards. Perms here are great as well.
I recommend making an appointment beforehand– she can get extremely busy, with good reason. I believe Tuesdays are her day off as well, so avoid going then. Highly recommend!

A nice little Korean salon tucked away in a mostly Asian themed plaza, I’ve been going to this place for my annual haircut since I was a teenager. There’s a beauty salon adjoining the main shop where you can get a variety of things done. I’m not sure what exactly the beauty salon offers but I did have a few beauty moles permanently zapped away, so I’m guessing a wide-​range of services?
This place isn’t fancy, but it’s cheap and quick if you call ahead and make an appointment. You probably should make an appointment anyways, because on slow days she sometimes steps out in between appointments. I pay $ 20 for a shampoo and cut, which usually takes an hour since I normally have long hair. This lady does some wicked layering — she’s one of those no-​nonsense Korean ladies that will have her way, OR ELSE! I go in, with a vague idea of what I want, she tells me what I should get, and being one of those people that can’t make up their mind, I tend to go along with what she recommends.
I do have to warn prospective shoppers that her «methods» are a bit… unusual. When I get layering, she makes me turn around, sit with my knees on the edge of the seat, my hands and forehead on the seat back, and my ass pointing in the air in a very uncomfortable «yoga-​esque» position. Thankfully it only takes 5 minutes, and my cuts always come out looking awesome. I’ve never seen her employ these methods with anyone but me, my sister, and my friend, so I don’t know whether it’s a cruel joke she’s been playing on me all these years or whether that’s how she treats all of her customers.
Why do I keep suffering through this cruel and unusual treatment? I always get compliments from my friends, and I’m too lazy to look elsewhere, so there you go!
