Hair Time

Wow. I wasn’t even greeted coming into the salon! I waited for my turn and after seeing the hairstylist I wanted finished with her customer, I went up but she catered to a male friend of hers who came into the salon awhile AFTER I DID first. No acknowledgment that I had been sitting there for over twenty minutes.
After the male friend left, she catered to a lady WHO JUST CAME IN wanting to buy some hair products! Completely ignoring me! Seriously?!
I was so angry that I just left.

The lady cut my hair soooooooooo short that it s been months n still short!!!
I can t stand this lady who butchered my hair.
I m still angry looking at my hair.

Whoa whoa whoa… Are we back in 1994? The prices at Hair Time sure make me think so. Wanted to write this recommendation for Hair Time which has become my new go to place for haircuts. The prices are right, the quality is great, and location is convenient. Less than half price of what I’m used to paying for my hair cut. Been coming here for several months now and I can confirm that this has become my new favorite place to cut my hair and can recommend them for men hair cuts highly and I think lady hair too.
First heard about this place from my wife who told me to check them out as they had $ 10 hair cuts for men, so I approached with a bit of skepticism. She told me to ask for a woman named Candy (Kim Sung Un). When I first went in, it appeared they were just opening so I asked the lady who was there if Candy was working today. The lady looked upset that I didn’t ask for her and became nearly hostile with me. I was just about to leave until I ended up finding Candy’s business card and called her directly. Long story short, when I eventually met Candy (who wasn’t working that day but made special arrangements to come on her off day since it was my first time — talk about nice and good customer service!)
Anyhow, I’ve been a happy customer ever since. Located in the same plaza as What The Phở and Hanjin Mail and across the street from pleasant hill car wash. Parking is plentiful. TIP: I recommend calling Candy Kim (Kim Sung Un) directly to make appointments @ 404−319−9571 (permission to post received). 5 solid stars in my book and a #highfive to Candy Kim. Thank you Hair Time and #haveapositiveday

I got a retouch for Japanese hair straightening today and it was my first time in this salon
Connie is a lovely lady she was so nice and so professional
The result was great and my hair looks beautiful
The price was so cheap actually half the price that you can find anywhere else
I’m so happy with my hair and will go no where other than Hair time salon
Thank you Connie

This is hands down the cheapest and best place to get a perm. I have curly hair and have been almost everywhere to get my hair japanese straightened. I’ve had so many experiences at other salons where my hair burns off or I get bald spots. But Connie knows how to do it just right. She makes sure the product is on your hair for the exact amount of time. When she retouches, she uses the retouching product, not regular product. My hair is soft and silky afterwards, even after retouching. And it’s the best price for the quality (it is HALF the price of scissorhand and wayy better quality). I am extremely satisfied with my straight perm and would not go anywhere else.

Connie is exceptional individual. Always caring and attentive. Easy to get an appointment.

I did not get a hair cut here so I can’t comment on her skill. I read the reviews in here and decided to give Connie a try. Called and spoke to Connie and made an appointment for 12:15. Got there couple mins early, she was finishing up so I waited. There was another lady waiting already. When she was done I let her know that I had an appointment at 12:15, she took the lady who was waiting and told me I’m next. The lady spoke to Connie in Chinese and said she didn’t have an appointment and if that is that ok. Connie reply in Chinese and said, don’t worry about him, he can wait, I just tell him you had the appointment first. Connie then looked at me but before she can say anything, I let her know that I also speak Chinese and if you can’t keep an appointment, don’t take it.
Needless to say, I will not try Connie again.

Connie, the owner, was pretty cool. She was friendly and cordial, referred to me by my name throughout the process, and took her time to ensure what I conveyed to her was what was carried out. She spoke both Cantonese and Mandarin so that was pretty cool while her other stylists were Korean. With 20 years of experience, I trusted her judgment and skill. FYI: She informed me she was the only person that does color btw.
With my long hair, she quoted me a price of $ 60 over the phone and honored that price when I stopped by. Without an appointment, I was able to get in with about a 30 minute wait this past Saturday around 3 PM. I came here on a whim wanting change with my hair, and Connie was able to give my hair some color that lifted my spirits and accomplished my goal.
The process took an hour and a half since my hair was dark and long. There was no bleaching involved so I was thankful for that since I just wanted color all over. If you’re wanting any high or low lights, she said she was willing to do the $ 60 price with an additional $ 20 on top of that. Still pretty good since some places quoted me a starting price of $ 85.
The coloring process was done in two stages. Since my hair was so dark, Connie colored my ends and roots first. Then shampooing and conditioning took place. Then she went back and recolored my ends so it could blend and take in more color. After this, I was shampooed and ready for the final stages of my hair makeover.
The initial shampooing was done by someone who could be Connie’s family member. Connie herself completed the second shampooing and finished me off with the styling herself. So for $ 60 plus tips, I had swag in my hair with some requested curls that prepared me for the night’s misadventures. Lol.
Parking was available since Hair Time was located in the same complex as Vincent Bakery and What The Phở. Hair Time will be on the right hand side of this strip of stores.

Tried this place out in May of 2014 after reading some of the positive reviews on Unilocal.However, with my experience, I will probably not be returning:
I called the morning before to book an appointment with Connie. When I arrived, she sat me down and I told her I wanted to donate my hair. She was very nice an everything but after she chopped off a good 10 inches or so, I showed her a pic of what kind of style I wanted afterwards. She looked and said «oh cute!» and just continued to layer away my hair. Once another customer came early, she began to rush me out and not give me her full attention. When she was done, she didn’t even check to see if it was even on both sides! When I got home and was able to clearly see the cut, I had to cut at least another inch or two myself just to make it even and not choppy. Sad to say, but I definitely won’t be returning.

We relocated from Cincinnati last year and ever since I have been struggling to find a good hair salon… I tried hair images which charged me $ 350 to straighten my hair (non sense), then I went to David Mitchell in Bankhead paid 70 + tips, left that place in tears (sucks right) and here I am trying HAIR TIME, I love it!!!
Connie of course cut my hair, she did an outstanding job! I will be coming back for hair straightening soon.
Highly recommended this place.
Ps: please don’t go by the interiors and feel of the place, all you really care about is a hair cut isn’t it!!!

I’ve had a good and a bad experience here. So I’ll give it a 2 star rating. Connie is a great person, but she made a mistake today. If that had happened to me, I would’ve been okay with it. But I love my brother too much and he’s sad because of what happened today. He had a head surgery, which left quite a bit scars. I told Connie about it more than a month ago, and she hid scar and what not perfectly, but today she cut it way too short and it’s uneven. It looks really really bad and I can’t see him sad like this. He’s been through too much. I didn’t ask for much, just a decent haircut. Not sure if I am going back, but please be careful next time. You knew you made a mistake, any one could’ve pointed that out. I just wished you had apologized to him for that. Thanks for reading.

This might be a bit harsh of a review but its my honest opinion and experience. No exaggeration, just straight forward.
$ 5 for wash
$ 20 for haircut
I called this morning the minute they opened (5 – 10 minutes after they opened). Spoke to Connie and asked if she had any free time on her schedule for me to book an appointment. She said «I can squeeze you in.» I appreciated her squeezing me into her schedule I should have realized that means that I probably won’t get the attention I expected or wanted which intern made me worry about the quality of the haircut i was about to get. I told her I would be there in a hour and I arrived 15 minutes early…
Fast forward to when I arrived… Connie was busy with two clients (sisters?) and I waited an hour (fine, I understand since she did say she was squeezing me into her schedule). Honestly, when I saw her cutting the two girls before my hair, the result wasn’t all that good on their hair and she actually spent more time on their hair than even my hair. None of us walked out with that great of a haircut in my opinion lol. But I didnt want to be rude and walk out right after they were done and be like «after I saw you cut these two girls hair so poorly I’m outta here» so I kind of prepared myself for what was to come from here and just went with it…
When it came to be my turn, she was really nice in the beginning to me when washing my hair and small talking… but when I expected to sit at her booth she sat me down at not her chair but another random empty chair (didnt make me feel good) after she washed my hair. Strike #1
After, she started to blow-​dry/​cut some of my hair till children came in and two other clients of hers. She immediately went to take care of them and had her assistant (I think it was her daughter or another family member) do the rest of my blow dry. I was not happy with this either because not only was It not the typical blow dry either, just the blow dry you would do at home, but I don’t think knew what she was doing and try to waste time… She dried my hair till it was dry and kept drying it for no reason and it started to burn my head so I told her «I believe my hair is dry» so she would stop. On top of that I have dyed hair so she was stripping the color from my hair! I don’t think she realizes heat is dyed hairs worst enemy! …Strike #2.
I had to wait after having my hair blow-​dry for her to finish with her other clients for a few more minutes and then she finished my haircut. Aka she does dry haircuts. Usually with dry haircuts you can get a more accurate and clean cut but clearly something went wrong if my ends looks as bad as they do (see pic). It’s not clean cut.
I told her 2 – 3 inches. She actually took off closer to 5 – 6. (See pic, before my hair was passed my boobs and now it ways above– it actually looks a little longer in post pic because I’m tilting my head down) This dosent bother me because my hair grows up super fast (I grow 1 inch of hair a month) but I know a lot of girls hate this.
Fast forward a bit… when she was cutting my hair she seemed to be rushing and not really caring… I HAVE LONG HAIR AND SHE DIDNT USE ONE CLIP IN MY HAIR WHILE CUTTING LAYERS! Red flag much? At the end, not only did she chop off a lot of my hair but it didnt look good in my opinion. It looked choppy, not polished. Not professional. I lied to be polite and said I loved it but… I was truly upset when I left. Luckily, its just hair and it grows back really fast for me.
I feel I have gotten better haircuts at this price elsewhere and even super cuts. Even though I appreciated her squeezing me into her schedule, I would have rather not accepted being squeezed into her schedule if this was how she was going to treat me. I feel like she was just trying to make some quick money on me honestly :(. I didnt feel important, I didnt feel pretty leaving or happy. Every girl should feel pretty and happy after a haircut, I felt ripped off and uncared for. My main concern is my hair does not look clean cut for work! I sent a picture to my mother and my friends and they are all furiously upset! You know its not a good haircut when no one compliments you on your haircut. They said I should have gone somewhere more expensive with a guarantee my hair will look clean cut for work. I should have listened to my fellow Unilocalers who recommended pika pika and next time, I’ll try there.
Despite my bad experience… I will say Connie is a very nice lady. She recommended a lot of dim sum places and other good chinese food places for me to try. She speaks cantonese and mandarin.
I just didnt feel treated well, or the quality of the haircut being poor (How can I go to work with this hair?!). She’s affecting my paycheck… not cool. Lastly, every girl should feel pretty when they get a haircut like she’s pampering herself, but I felt ugly after. I would write more but there is a word limit for Unilocal comment

This is everything I want in a hair salon. They are quick, they are good, they are open on weekends. If you make an appointment you are in and out the door in 15 mins with a nice fresh haircut. This is the only place I go to in all of metro Atlanta. The hours are from 10 a.m. In the morning to 7 p.m. At night on weekdays. I believe it is 10 to 6 p.m. On weekends.

Connie puts pride into her work, is an expert at what she does, and she listens to your exact request. She took my dyed black hair, and turned it into a beautiful brown shade. She even stayed at her shop an hour after closing to help me. She offered me a snack, some water, gave me 2 huge bottles of Biolage shampoo, and charged me half the price of other salons. I will never go to another hair dresser ever again!

For all you guys out there, the haircut is $ 15 and the hair wash is an extra 2 bucks. Make a reservation for Connie since she’s good with hair cuts for guys, as well as girls.
Scissor hands was closed because they were visiting some fashion expo in FL, and I really needed a haircut badly. The Pleasant Hill area’s known to have a lot of hair salons/​stylists, and decided to check this place out after hearing good reviews about Connie. She’s chinese unlike most of the hair stylists in the area, so shoutout to all those who can speak chinese haha. Language barrier shouldn’t be much of a problem b/​c she’s pretty fluent with english.
I made a reservation by phone for 2:30 and when I got there I got seated immediately. This isn’t a large hair salon like with Scissor Hands or Pika Pika, and is rather small and cozy.
Connie and a few other workers were watching the French Open when I sat down, which got me worried a little bit. I showed her a picture of what I wanted, and she said okay and started trimming my hair. She’s a really nice person to get to know, and enjoys talking with her customers. The only problem that I have is that I’m worried about her multitasking, and would rather sit through a silent haircut without any conversation.
Something else that really bothered me was that periodically she would pause and watch the French Open. I’m not worried because I was constrained on time, but the fact that she might lose her train of action and screw up some place. But luckily she got it the way I wanted it and my hair was fine.
After getting the $ 2 wash, she dried my hair and even showed me how to style it to get the way I wanted. I asked a few questions about hair wax and she answered them all, and knew what she was talking about.
I was pretty satisfied with my haircut but would rather have her pay more attention next time. If you do plan on coming here, I recommend making a reservation for Connie. She does a good job with haircuts for guys, but I still think Scissor Hands does it better.

I came here after doing a Unilocal search of Asian hair salons in Atlanta and this came up as the best one.
I came in after a phone call to make a reservation and a price quote (for color + cut for long hair = $ 80). I got there 5 min before my reservation time. Connie colored my hair and did the cut. She was great! I definitely will come back again :)

Came here to see Connie after reading all the rave reviews. Before I get into the haircut part, I have one major complaint.
I scheduled an appointment for 4:30. I arrived about 5 minutes later. Connie greeted me and gestured for me to sit and said it would be a «few minutes.» She was with a client, but I could see they were finishing up. OK, no problem. After all, I was 5 minutes late.
After the client had left, I was expecting Connie to call me next. But no… she called a woman who had been going in and out of the salon. I have no idea if she was there before me. I guess she must have been, though she was not present when I walked in. So a «few minutes» turned into 45 minutes. Argh. I was getting antsy because at this point it was past 5:15 and I knew I had to be somewhere by 6pm.
I guess that is the problem when your hair dresser is popular.
After THAT client was done, Connie thanked me for waiting and asked what I would like done today. She listened to my requests and set to work. She immediately remarked that my layers were uneven and that she had to correct them. She spent quite a bit of time correcting them, actually. I noticed she typically does dry cuts, but with me, she asked her daughter to shampoo me halfway through the cut (because my hair was too flat) so she could continue cutting my layers.
After she was completely done with my layers, she asked about my bangs. I was actually pretty happy with how my hair looked as it was, but I said I typically ask for feathered bangs. Unfortunately, she cut them a bit shorter than I would like and they look noticeably choppy. I get that is what feathered is, to an extent, but I was hoping for more subtlety.
Also, initially I was impressed because I saw Hair Time takes American Express. Not many Asian businesses do. They had a sign posted on the wall that had all the major credits printed on it. But when I tried to pay with said Amex card, Connie said they did not take Amex. Hm. Misleading.
Anyway. Overall, I’m happy with my look and I can definitely tell Connie knows her stuff (and knows that she knows it). Just wish she would stick to appointment times better. Oh, and if you were wondering if it was a busy day, it was a Thursday. So I can’t imagine what Fridays and Saturdays are like!

I like this place. The prices are reasonable. Connie does an excellent job!

Connie is amazing!
I had an inverted bob about a year ago, and I’ve been trying to grow my hair back out, but it’s been a nightmare at the in-​between phase. I had a wedding coming up, and I knew something had to be done. SO after reading this many good Unilocal reviews, I made an appointment with her the next day. NOT ONLY did she floor me with how great my hair looked, but she gave me an unbeatable price. You’re not going to find anyone better, and the conversation was great… she’s hilarious.
Thanks again Connie!

I sent my fiancé here after a few haircutters had mauled his head. We thought to ourselves. well if we’re going to get haircuts for $ 35+ and be unhappy why not try this Unilocal reviewed place for so much less?
OH MY GOD.
He walked out and looked amazing! I have never really been happy with his haircuts until Connie did it! We are never going anywhere else again. :)
Next. I have to get Connie to cut –my– hair. :) Look for an update!
