Hung’s Hair Design

The following is my follow-​up review to Hung’s Hair Design in Mesa AZ. These events occurred on 03/​05/​2016.
This review shows how much things have changed at Hung’s Hair Design. I am writing this review in this style to illustrate a point. I am not pointing towards anything remotely prejudiced or bias in terms of ethnic background. I have no intention of doing this.
How many have heard of the 1990’s television show Seinfeld? I affirm that my experience today at Hung’s Hair Design was almost the carbon copy of a scene from Seinfeld.
Regarding the actual episode and scene from Seinfeld (tv show), refer to 110^th Episode of Seinfeld, The Understudy, which originally aired 18 May 1995. In one scene for this episode, we have Elain going to a Korean owned nail salon, and bringing along her friend’s father, Frank Kostanza, and American who is fluent in Korean. He immediately understands the rather insensitive Korean language jokes of the nail technicians that are poking fun at Elaine, and makes a big scene in the store, demanding they apologize to him and to Elaine.
Now bring this to reality, not television, and instead of it being Korean language, make it Vietnamese. Instead of a nail salon, make it a hair salon. That is what happened today (03/​05/​2016) to me at Hung’s Hair Design in Mesa AZ. I am not fluent in speaking Vietnamese, but I comprehend and understand a lot of it (more then the average). I understood every insensitive comment made by the hair stylist in Vietnamese, and understood they were being directed towards me. I was the only one that was not Vietnamese. They were not appreciated. It shows the lack of customer service.
The reason I even went to Hung’s Hair Design today for my hair cut (cat toc) was convenience. My wife is Vietnamese, and she wanted to go to the Vietnamese market. It was a way to prevent me having to go somewhere else afterwards. I could have my hair cut (cat toc) while my wife was shopping in the market. I am ready to say that convenient or not, Hung’s Hair Design LOST a future customer due to the insensitive Vietnamese comments that I figured were directed my way.
There is an American owned hair stylist show near to where I live that I normally go to. Whether it is convenient or not, I will go there in the future, and STOP any business with Hung’s Hair Design. Also, it is worth noting that my wife, who is Vietnamese and speaks Vietnamese and English, also is starting to come to the same conclusion about the lack of customer service at Hung’s Hair Design.
Bottom line, things have changed for the worse at this business. The lose lips and behavior of their hair stylists (even in Vietnamese language) have cost them to lose one customer. I do not know how many more have been lost due to this.
TO THE OWNER of Hung’s Hair Design:
Train your hair stylists in Customer Service
Train them to keep insensitive comments, whatever language, to themselves
Not doing this will result in you losing customers. You already have lost one customer that I know of. ME!!!

I’ve tried different hair salons near where I live in Chandler Gilbert area. They’re all pretty pricey and I’m never satisfied with the way they cut my hair for the price they charge me. Christine is my hairstylist I’ve known her for years. She always knows what I want and like with my hair. She listens as long as you tell her what exactly do you want. They charge me half of what I pay here other than these expensive salons such as Tony and Guy, White Lotus, etc. I always call ahead of time to make an appointment with Christine because I know she’s always busy with other clients. She’s gotten mad at me a few times for getting a haircut at other places but that won’t happen again because I know I’ll always be back for her because she knows what she’s doing. Even though she works in Mesa I’ll drive all the way there to get a haircut from her. At least I know that she won’t mess up my hair. She’s the best. She makes me look good all of the time :)

I am pretty picky with my hair cutting places. Now, I have only gone to Hung’s a few times, but I have been following Christine since her Kinh Do days. That being said, my latest cut was not even by her, and it turned out fantastic. I literally drive 20 minutes to come here just because I enjoy it so much. I would always recommend to get an appointment for Christine ’cause she is my favorite, but honestly everyone there is fantastic at what they do. If you are Asian and trying to find a great place for your hair needs, look no further than Hung’s! You will not regret it!

It only needs to take a mediocre hair stylist to do hair color, but it takes a pro hair stylist to master all of different cut styles, and that’s the way I define who is the «best hair stylist.» I have returned to this place multiple times, and I think I already found my spot from now on. Christine is my girl, and she can alter different looks for the same hair style — and I have to say, I’m impressed. Going to this lady for a while now, and finally I have time to draft a review. From coloring to cutting and styling, Christine is an «all in one» hair stylist that I’ve been looking for.
This time I ask for a trim for A line bob, and a quick color touch up to cover my end. I’m more than happy with the result. Everyone is like family here, I feel welcomed and my money is well spent.

My hair was ruined last time I was there. I told the guy just cut my bangs, it’s took him like 12 mins to cut my hair and it was awful but I was too easy to say anything. He charged me for a full head which cost $ 30. The first time I came there to have a haircut, it was the owner and he did a very good job but not the last time. I was mad for a long time and finally had to run to another hair salon to fix my hair. I think his name was P. Every time I looked at my hair, I felt really really bad. And I did tip him $ 5, I should not have done that.

Christine is the best hairdresser I ever had. She gave me different styles according to season and occasions. My husband also became her biggest fan simply because he looked 5 years younger after a hair cut from her.

I never get my hair cut by anyone else but my aunt, but I’m thousands of miles from home… And I have a job to keep. The stylist was Bruce Lee with scissors (the buff guy with blond hair). He understands hair… he became my hair.

I knew Christine and Phillip few years back. Husband and I lost them when they moved from the other place. Accidentally we found them in Mekong area.
It’s difficult to find a hairdresser that have a chemistry to do your hair style and my husband really like the Phillip cut his hair.

Christine is just amazing! Ranging from her personality to professionalism she is definitely a gem! All us asian gals, we all know the pain of getting a bad haircut for our super straight, curly, etc type hair. Christine did an amazing job. I gave a picture and she gave me advice. She didn’t push it on me, she asked me if what she advised worked for me. What i loved when i first came in was that she called me and greeted me by my name. Btw this is the first time meeting her so it was refreshing to know she took time out to take down notes and remember me after i called for an appointment. She listened to my needs and i came walking out with a great haircut. She is definitely amazing and i am so thankful to have had her do my hair! Hope she doesn’t leave this place!

Christine will ask you what hairstyle you like and will make suggestions and tweak your desired hairstyle, so you wont leave this place having any regrets! Not to mention, services here are reasonably-​priced that I come here every other month!

I’ve been here twice for a simple haircut and they always do a great job! 12 bucks! Neat and fast and very friendly! Definitely coming back here for more haircuts in the future!

Great place for a haircut. They hook up a pretty clean fade and the shampoo afterwards is a nice touch. Price is reasonable. I’ve noticed that they don’t seem very busy on Sundays, so that’s probably a good day to go to avoid having to wait.

Small Salon with pretty attentive stylists. I’ve only been here one time but I’m a loyal Christine hair follower. Where she goes, I GO! Christine can be found here offering exceptional haircuts for the same reasonable price of $ 25.

Found Christine who used to work from another nearby salon. This plasce is inside a market and the parking is pretty busy during lunch time on Saturday, great haircut as always!

My wife LOVE CHRISTINE hair cut, probably the most talented hair dresser I have ever met. She is a real treasure to this area. It is very hard to find someone that is talented and up to date in her skills in the hair industry. CHRISTINE is all of these things and more. I recently saw her for a cut and color. She did an excellent job and I actually left the salon feeling great! She took her time and got it just right. Thank you CHRISTINE.”

Great haircut! The price are reasonable and they all know how to cut Asian hair. I’m very glad I found this place after moving from San Francisco.

i was eating lunch in this little mall when i saw this barber/​beauty shop. i needed a haircut, the price was right (very reasonable). even tho the place was a bit crowded i was in and out in like 30 minutes. I asked for a shampoo and rinse AFTER my cut so i wouldn’t have hair all over my neck and back itching me. the barber was happy to oblige. the actual haircut was ok. nothing that stands out in my mind, but what do you expect for $ 12?

Very reasonable price and great service! I have very thick hair that hairdressers often have no patience for. Here, I felt that my hair was taken care of really well even though they took a long time. Highly recommended!

It’s my first time coming to the area. I’m new to the area so looking for a good Asian haircut is not easy. The name Hung suggests that it is a Vietnamese place.
The place is very clean and bright. When I came on Saturday, there were 5 guys working there; all look very professional. I was taken care by Truc, who was very friendly. He asked me what I wanted and did exactly what I wanted. Cool! I will come back. $ 12 for a male hair cut is good.
