Lydia City Hair

Lydia’s salon is not a part of the booming trend of glamorous salons that offer you drinks and dote on your every mood and conversational needs (don’t get me wrong, I enjoy them very much). But if you want to know what you’re getting here it’s not the glitz and glamour, it’s the best in treatment and any perm/​coloring needs.
Lydia is extremely experienced and is a certified professional. Her personally-​formulated perms restore and maintain moisture so that your hair is smooth, shiny, and strong. Absolutely no breakage (which is inevitable with perms) it’s definitely worth the price as it lasts longer and… nothing beats healthy looking hair. I got a perm done at another salon which I was happy with but eventually my hair became dry and dull, I came here to get treatment done (~$ 120 – 150), now my perm will last me another several months and my hair’s health is restored. Come here if you want someone who revitalizes your hair’s health.

I went here for the magic straight for the first time a few weeks ago based solely on the Unilocal reviews. I’ve been getting my hair straightened for over 10 years now and my go to person is no longer an option. For the most part she is really good when it comes to this type of hair service, however the front left of my hair didn’t straighten out completely. My hair came out looking naturally straight instead of pin-​straight. I asked for a trim and was genuinely upset when she cut off about 6 inches of hair and added a LOT of layers that I did NOT ask for. After she could tell I was upset, she said that straightened hair shouldn’t have layers. Well DUH! Then why would you experiment on my hair in the first place?! She stated multiple times that she has a lot of experience in hair straightening, and to her credit, it is apparent that she does. HOWEVER, I will never let her cut my hair again. She didn’t CHEMICALLY damage my hair at all, and if you’re someone like me who has long hair and is terrified of hair damage then you know how important that is! So, if you’re looking for someone good to ONLY straighten your hair, I would definitely recommend her and get it cut somewhere else. My only other issue is her pricing, it seems to fluctuate quite a bit when different people ask her or the other ladies working there…

This is my go to hair salon. I have been going here for years. Just two words to describe her magic hands!
Best to call for appointments

I had a lot of hair damage.
Many gave up my hair in hair salon.
But, i try and find here.
Her technique is really amazing…
So much great!!!

This is my go-​to place for my hair. Lydia and staff are amazing and I’m always pleased and satisfied with my hair. My usual service includes cut and color. The cut always complements my face shape and grows out nicely. Color always comes out great too, she mixes several colors to ensure we get the color I requested.

I was afraid of getting perm since my hair was badly damaged. Lydia recommended me trepair magic straight perm, now my hair looks healthy and smooth. I’m very satisfied. I always listen to her advice. She knows what to do for the damaged hair. That’s why I drive 2hours to get my hair done with Lydia! Her price is VERY reasonable. You can’t get this perm with this price anywhere.

Friendly staff overall. I had a bad damaged hair, I went in just to ask few questions without much expectations. Lydia gave me few recommendations and with still a bit of doubt I decided to give it a try. I got the repair magic straight treatment, I think that was what it was called. Result? I was pleasantly surprised. I am very satisfied about my hair and feel that the price was more than reasonable for the service I got. Defenitely will be returning.

Lydia has been my hair stylist for over ten years. She has many years of experience and that is why she is so talented. She knows what style best suits your face.
She uses the best products that are on the market. That is the reason why she’s never damaged my hair. I trust the products she uses on my hair.
She definitely cares about her clients and will always recommend only services she feels you need. Her prices are reasonable and competitive with other salons.
I have recommended her to all my friends and family!

This was the first time I got my hair colored at Lydia City Hair, but I was completely satisfied with the result. My hair was close to jet black and I dyed my entire hair, which was close to Ash Brown. Lydia mixed several shades of brown and red to match my skin tone. I got so many compliments with my hair color because the color looked amazing and so glossy. Totally satisfied with the result!!!

My hair was really damaged and went here to do repair magic perm and my hair got stronger and healthier. The price wasn’t too expensive and did a very nice job. I will definitely come back here for other services!

To start, I went in to Lydia’s with a messed up over bleached Asian hair that was meant to be «ombré’d.» I got to the salon for my 5:30 appointment and was greeted by Lydia and Mary. Lydia felt my hair and looked over it. She explained to me what she will be doing to try to fix my hair and give me the result that I originally wanted. Since I have so much hair, she gave me a «inner-​outer» layer to take the weight off, not making me into an onigiri. My root was then treated with color and once we got the color that we wanted, we went into taking out the yellow bleach color. After that, she gave me light highlights at the ends of my hair. I am totally satisfied with the outcome, and amazingly, my hair feels softer and no longer breaks each time I finger-​comb my hair. Two thumbs up! My friends say that Lydia gave me an Instagram worthy hair.

I love this place. Great results and good price! Specially, repair mazic is amazing.

Great results for a good price! I got a wavy perm here a few months ago and had a great experience! My hair is naturally straight so the first time they permed it, it went straight after three days. (Other salons have had similar issues with my hair) I think they may have known that my hair wouldn’t hold the curls bc Mary, the owner’s daughter, texted me a few days later asking me how the perm went and apologized/​asked me to come in again for free. The owner (Lydia) gave me a free bottle of hair essence to apply to my hair and when she re-​permed it, she gave me some treatment to reduce the damage on my hair. I loved the result!
While I love their service, they aren’t very careful with making sure that the chemicals applied don’t get onto your skin. Also, compared to other salons, Lydia is a bit rougher with your hair. I have very sensitive skin and my eczema flared up as a result. Another drawback is that Lydia doesn’t speak much english so unless you speak Korean or her daughter Mary is there to translate, you won’t understand her.

I was so stressed due to an ombré from a local hair salon that totally made me leaving disappointed. I usually get my hair done from Lydia but I didn’t have time to go to la… I finally made time to get my hair fixed from Lydia and she was amazing as always. Lydia made my hair dye with couple different colors mixed in according to my face color. She knows what color goes well with each skin color and what doesn’t look good on a certain skin color. I left the salon feeling fabulous and very satisfied! I regret going to a local salon which wasn’t cheap at all. It’s worth it to make time and go to Lydia instead of going to any random place. Never will I go anywhere else even though I do not have time. Lydia is fantastic with her colors!

This is probably the WORST experience I’ve had at a hair salon. I called on Tues to set up an appt for color and I was told to come in that same day, at 7p. Once I arrived she said she heard me say «touch up» and asked me return the next day because they close at 8p. What kind of business completely disregards the inconvenience they caused their customers? She mentioned that she’ll throw in a free treatment for the trouble she put me through but I would’ve liked for her to do whatever she could to prevent me from returning again (she’s the owner and she can close whenever), esp bc I work a good distance and getting to the salon during rush hour is NOT the business. Although I was upset at the situation, I kindly agreed to return the next day since my co-​worker referred her to me as her go-​to colorist.
I returned the next day and I don’t even know where to begin with the mess she managed to do to my hair. I posted pictures here to show her work. First of all, if you don’t know how to do balayage please be honest with your customers in stead of using them as guinea pigs. Secondly, if you know you screwed up, at least have some decency and provide a discount. LAST but not least, SHE DIDN’T EVEN GIVE ME THE TREATMENT SHE PROMISED. I guess she used «free treatment» as bait for customers to return bc obviously, she needs more of it. This place is absurd, in so many different ways. I won’t be returning ever again.

My wife decided to look for a new place to get her hair done and after some research and word of mouth recommendations she decided to give them a try. The staff was friendly, attentive and they listened to how she wanted her hair done. The wave perms came out looking greet and so did the coloring and layer cuts. The wife looks great and needless to say so am I cause she’s looking hot.

Amazing customer service! Peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. The only place I go for my hair needs and the amazing lydia gives the best haircuts and does the best hair styles hands down the best salon I’ve ever been to!

I like the overall outcome, but I hated the entire process. Came here on a recommendation, and I admire the main hairdresser’s work, but there is this one lady there that is such a crabby worker.
I decided to get a perm here and while they are placing the solution in my hair it was flying everywhere. On my face, pants, arms. In addition, the cape that they use to cut hair only goes up to your shoulders, so you can imagine how messy things got.
In addition, while rinsing my hair, this crabby worker didn’t even bothering to place towel under my neck, so by the time she was done my entire back was drenching wet. Not even a apology.
Meanwhile my sister was getting her hair bleached for that ombré look. She also previously had a perm. With perm hair you usually use a wide tooth comb to avoid ruining your curls. The worker used a large paddle brush and roughly combed my sister’s hair. I saw the look of horror on my sister’s face as she ended seeing her hair completely straightened out. In addition, although her ombré came out ok, I could still see areas of her hair where instead of a gradual lightening of the hair there is an clear line of contrast between dark and light hair.
While I am happy with the outcome of my hair, I cannot bear to go through the entire process again here if I am to go through the same type of treatment and service.

I’ve been going this hair salon 7yrs. And I love it. I like how the products they use and they have their own signatured hair treatment which makes ur hair so silky and healthy!!! y hair was too thin and damaged before but… guess what? Now? It’s silky and healthy even I did inner haha I am so happy with my hair and if you r looking for a hair salon, don’t think about to try the other place. Lydia city hair is right here to help you~

I am pretty picky about my hair… because I have bit of chubby cheeks and so much hair it’s really difficult to get a nice, clean cut that makes me feel fabulous, lovely and happy.
This place provided exactly what I needed. Not only she made it similar to the photos of styles I showed her, she even had the courtesy to make it match me! Whole new ME! I have a cute little bob now. Getting compliments everywhere I go! check out my photo :)
