Salon One

My aunt came here to dye her hair. She initially had a full head of headlights, practically a full blonde. She wanted a medium gold brown. I heard the lady mixing her color ask the only male worker in the salon whether they still have that specific color. and they didn’t. so i heard the two of them whispering about just substituting it with something else. my aunt’s hair turned out straight up just black, no medium… no golden. no brown. just black.
first of all, be honest with your customer. don’t just do some BS just cus you want to money. black hair is a mess because later on when my aunt wants to go lighter, she’ll have to bleach her entire head.
i sat down for a hair cut, which turned out fine. my problem is that i already have damaged hair from bleaching and i have been refraining from any damage by not using too much heat or dyeing. the lady KNEW that my hair was damaged, she even continually smack her lips and clicked her tongue, shaking her head at the damage. yet when he proceed to iron my hair, it was so hot that when the hair fell on my shoulder, it burned. i didn’t realize to what extent my hair was damaged but she continued to keep on running for 450* iron over my already damaged hair.
That night after i washed my hair… my fine asian hair was SEVERELY damaged. I’m not trying to be racist but previously before seeing her, my hair was damaged from within but it was healthy looking form the outside. NOW, i have the texture, frizziness, dryess of AFRICAN AMERICAN hair. i am not kidding you. the hairs have lost all integrity. it doubles in size due to the frizz and if you know what i mean by african american hair… you know I’m not kidding or exaggerating.
shady business. unethical practices. SCAM.

I have been a customer here for a few years and I thoroughly enjoy the service and the prices are just right. I haven’t been to a different salon where the owners treat their customers with such respect. The workers are all experienced and friendly. I definitely recommend for everyone to come here. You are sure to be satisfied by their service.

All I have to say is horrible customer service period end of story. Nothing that I write or say will help this business.

I came here for 3 reason:
1) price
2) so close to home
3) reviews
My hair often gets really thick so I would have to thin them out very frequently. I found this place from Unilocal so decided to give it a try
I came at 10am, just right when they open– got seated by MY and she thoroughly washed my hair with a great massage!
Haircut– thinned out how I like it! She doesn’t judge like other places who can’t believe how much I’m thinning out my hair. It’s my hair, trust me I know how unmanageable it gets!
My– she is very friendly, listens to what you want, tells you what she will do next to see if you are okay with it and very sociable! The only thing about her is that, she wants everyone seated so they don’t leave. She kept going back and forth. But I mean as a stylist, she is great. Her use of scissor seems good as well.
TIP– go early in the morning right when they open to avoid any conflict appointments or busy hour of people coming in. (Personally I didn’t care– most Asian places, you can’t expect Beverly hill service. If you want that, perhaps try other places)

Always come here every 2 – 3 weeks to get my boyfriend’s hair cut.
Chu Dung or Danny is our go to guy! He already knows exactly how to cut my boyfriend’s hair every time we come in.
We’ve been here at least 10 times already and his service has always been great. Never going to go o any other salon to cut his hair now. We found his go to hair stylist!

The owners are very friendly. Chu Dung does a good job and prices are decent. Bang for your buck. Definitely call to make an appointment. When I ask to cut an inch, Dung cuts an inch. They listen to what you want.

The owners sister is a little on the greedy side. Please confirm ur price b4 they work on it. I used to pay only 12 $ for a haircut with layers, I had long hair then. Now my hair is shorter and basically I just want a trim. She booked me for 16 $, i said I used to only pay 12 $. She said nope, she charge 16 $. Won’t be coming back. Good bye greedy lady.

I love coming here with Co My. This place gets 5 stars for the outcome of my hair but 4 stats over all. The only issue is with timing. She ALWAYS double books. I always call ahead but that only sometimes work out. I’ve been coming here for almost 10 years. I love the woman to death and I won’t let any one else touch my hair but get your appointments together.

I followed My here from another salon. I love her and I will never let anyone else touch my hair! At her old work place, I once went there and she was on vacation in Vietnam and I made the mistake of not waiting for her!!! Some other lady messed up my hair so bad.
Anyway my point is she will do what you want and she will remember you! I’ve been going to her for years and it’s always nice seeing her time and time again. Even though I don’t cut my hair much. Maybe twice a year. Prices are veryyy affordable.
I suggest you call to make an appointment before coming, especially on the weekends when it’s super packed and you’re going to wait a while. Go during the weekdays if you could! And her husband Dung is pretty good and nice as well !
CASH ONLY!!!

I came in with long hair the length of my waist and the hair dresser that i had was very nice and understanding that I wanted only a 2 inches trim. The price was awesome for the cut that I received. The place needs a bit tidying up but other than that, I would definitely recommend and will be coming back!

My did a great job with my one year old. I love how she cut his hair with scissors n not just with the shreader (which causes quick split ends). She evened out the back with abuzzer and is a true professional. I can tell by her technique that she’s a pro. I’m very happy with her and plan on my son being a regular. I might try her out one day but I’m currently happy w someone else. ;) thank you for seeing us even tho we had a miscommunication on time!

My experience with My Le has always been great. She does my hair exactly the way I want it and at such a good price. I pay $ 12-​$ 15 and have waist length hair! That includes the wash/​shampoo and cut! These prices cannot be beat. My is always willing to do whatever it takes to make her clients happy. She is very kind and I love requesting her! Go to Salon One and request her or her husband! You will not be disappointed at the price or service. It is very difficult to find a hair stylist you can trust with your hair but I am so grateful that I found her. I trust her and will continue to go to her as long as I reside in the Little Saigon area.

So the place has changed hands and I got my hair cut by Myle after reading all the good reviews. My hair looks okay – maybe a little bit TOO texturized, but otherwise it’s hair and it’ll grow back. I didn’t appreciate the service on a Saturday morning. I had an appointment, but Myle was running late, which was understandable to a certain degree. What was unprofessional was the fact that she would have other stylist shampoo her clients and seat them so that nobody could get away. So. Myle went back and forth from person to person to cut and color hair, etc. It was a very strange assembly line and I did not leave my seat till 1.5 hours after sitting down. Most the sitting was WAITING; so I probably had 20 minutes of service on my hair… just for a haircut. I will probably go back for the other stylists who used to work with Holly. As for Myle, she and her husband seem nice, but maybe they are new to this salon ownership and need to learn how to run a business better – AKA: not overbooking themselves!

Myle and her Husband David are the only people I trust to do my hair. They are both really nice and patience. They really have to be since I’m so particular. I sent my co-​worker in and now her whole family goes to them.

All I asked for was a simple comb over. Did I get one? NO I DID NOT. It took me a while to grow out my hair and by the end of the night I could of just spiked up my hair like those high school days…
I showed the lady how I wanted my haircut and when she kept nodding «yah yah yah» I was thinking ok cool, she understands but during my haircut I asked her how her day was, and she nodded «yah yah yah» again, I was like damn, I am freaking screwed!
Everyone seems to be happy with this place so maybe it was just the person who was cutting my hair. Maybe I’ll come back one day and try again because they stay open later than most places I know. But who knows!

Not bad for a hair cut with the price.

Amazing place — and very, very affordable!
I have been coming here for years (since I was a teenager) with my family and have never had a bad experience. They’ve cut my long hair, my mom’s shoulder length, my dad’s short hair, and my brother’s surfer hair fantastically so you know all the stylists have good range.
Full Vietnamese staff who speak Vietnamese with each other, but we’ve never felt unwelcome or awkward. My dad is Chinese and my mom white, thus my brother and I are mixed. As I said, they are really friendly and professional to everyone and have great styling range (from straight, shiny, thin hair to thick, curly, frizzy hair).
For a woman with long hair you will get a wash, scalp massage, hair cut of your choice, blow-​dry and style for about $ 25!!! Amazing and just give them a nice tip for the excellent work they do.
The only thing you will NOT get is a bad haircut, complimentary drink, and frou frou décor — who cares! I’d rather keep my money and save it for other things than pay for the «pampering» of pricier joints. If you get thirsty you can go next door and buy a drink for 75 cents.
I’ve never had to wait more than 15 mins to get my hair done while simply walking in. Never made an appointment here in my life. Neither has my family. If you are picky about your stylist you can always call ahead, but I don’t mind waiting a bit. They have so many people working that you’ll likely get seated the moment you walk through the door.
I have also had my hair highlighted here and they do an amazing job for a really great price. They have a booklet you can choose colors from. In addition, I’ve also gotten my hair chemically straightened to perfection, as well as deep conditioned. Each time the results were great!
If I had to give tips to newcomers I’d say just bring in a photo for reference — if you are new the linguistic gap might make problems for trickier cuts — and request a bit less off than you really want (so if you want to trim an inch, ask for a half inch instead) since some can be a bit scissor happy. Don’t be afraid to tell them how you want it done — they just want you to be happy with the results.
My stylist Nhi is amazing; you’ll recognize her from her long, straight black hair. She is the best hairstylist I’ve ever had and I don’t know what I’d do without her!
Thank you Salon One!

Prices aren’t so bad. My haircuts here were alright for the price I paid. I really don’t recommend doing waxing here. For the first time I did waxing, she spilled the wax on my hair. On the second time, another lady ripped part of my skin –_​_​-​.

We just pass by this place after we ate at Van restaurant, and my Mom decide to get her hair cut. Since it is Eastern Sunday and owner decide to charge my Mom $ 10 instead $ 12 regular price. My Mom was happy when it is finished.

This is my 200^th review, and my favorite barber shop hands down takes the cake! I actually thought I might be the first to share the love but it looks like other people know this secret too.
I’ve been to the old school, dusty red and white striped barber shops with dusty tootsie rolls. I’ve been to the 6 dollar Chinese barber shops with fish tanks and oranges. I’ve also been to the ass-​expensive, individual tv-​screen, complimentary beer, essence-​of-​bees-​and-​fairies face wash, tattooed hipster barbershops. In the end, this is the only place that I look forward to coming to, that I will drive 20 minutes from Irvine to go to just for a 15 minute haircut.
It’s located in a plaza with a variety of Vietnamese and middle eastern food stores. There are plastic chairs outside for various smokers and haircutters to hang out and a simple store with a full force of female Vietnamese barbers. There are a couple of guys here too, and apparently John is great at cutting girl’s hair. Most of the girls here are amazing at their job and unless you have some crazy froufrou hair that needs moose gel to hold it in place they’ll cut your hair just fine. I don’t speak a lick of Vietnamese other than «phở bac» but I usually get by with hand motions and broken English.
For $ 10, they will give you a fantastic haircut, wash your hair before and afterward and give you a great head massage as well. Sometimes the head massage turns into a neck and shoulder massage and one time that turned into a 5 minute full blown back massage. But that’s a whole ‘nother story. Every time I come here I get so relaxed I just want to take a nap.
And the icing on the cake? This is right across the street from Brodard’s where I unfailingly always end up at.
