Lee Ka Ja

Everything I wanted and more.
So quick review my hair was totally damaged even tho my last haircut was in April. I would say damage was caused by heat. Even tho, I’m currently taking prenatal vitamins my hair seems dry. I came upon this salon recommended by my mom. The stylist who did my hair her name was Chloe. This women did her thang on my hair! ;) I’m a very happy client. My hair cut was simple but she definitely delivered. Coming back very soon.

Went there with a friend. The scenery was a tad bit awkward, but the workers there smiled at you no matter what. The cut did take longer than it was suppose to but, one of the guys kindly offered to curl my friend’s hair saying it’d look good on her. Good price, loved it.

Avoid this place like the plague especially the guy with glasses and dyed hair. He cut my hair like a Lego figure. Took almost an hour and at one point asked another hair stylist to hold the back of my hair. She stood by 10 mins holding my hair as he tried to attempt to cut the inside of my hair. I’ve never in my entire life had this bad of a hair cut. And when I talked to him, he walked away saying «I don’t know I don’t know.» Oh, he cuts hair sitting down. WTF! AVOID!

Someone need an intervention much? Cell phone addicts even among the older generation, the popular stylist, Chloe was indeed guilty of this… This stylist stepped away multiple times before I orchestrated an enjoyable collage of said phone distractions for my friends and I … took several breaks in between for a simple wash and style, what would have been 35 minutes turned into a little over an hour affair… Happy to say I won’t be returning.

I got a recommendation for this salon so I decided to give it ago. I saw HaeSue and she did an amazing job! She listens to exactly what you ask for and is so sweet. She took her time with my haircut and I could not be happier. Everyone else in the salon is super friendly as well. I will definitely be back. Great price, great haircut and great people!

I never review places ever, but my experience here was so good! I walked in without an appointment and they said it was fine. Joseph is extremely nice and when I showed him the picture of what I wanted, he said I’d need to get a body wave perm. I thought I’d have to go back due to time, but he did it right there. He also taught me how to style and take care of it (hair noobie here). He did a great job and was really nice even when I had a lot of dumb questions. The cut and perm was $ 80. I’m definitely going back!

I’ve been a regular customer here for 3 years now. I’ve tried so many hair dressers, but I’m glad to say I’ve found her. Hae Sue takes care of my hair and has never disappoints me. She knows what I want and if I ask her opinion, she gives the most honest answer. She’s so knowledgable, bubbly and very hospitable. I definitely recommend her.
As soon as you enter, you will notice how bright, clean and relaxing the salon is. You will also be greeted, not just by Hae Sue (if in case you chose her) but by everyone. You will be asked to changed into their robe to avoid messing with your shirt but you don’t have to if you feel uncomfortable. Right after, someone will opt to shampoo your hair. And if only God would let me know what shampoo and conditioner they use… it makes my hair super soft, voluminous and not oily.
All these are only for $ 35. The price is very cheap considering how nice the treatment this place gives to their clients. However, they could get really busy which could affect their service. I would encourage people to set up an appointment and get it done in the morning. Parking could be a little difficult, especially in the afternoon. Hae Sue is my girl and so might be yours…

It was my first time coming back since 6 yrs ago. Made last minute appointment for root retouch. They took me in right away on the same day.
I know my hair was difficult to work since it was kind of like an ombré style. I went in anyway to bleach my whole hair blonde as the mid-​bottom of my hair is already blonde from prior bleach session from a yr ago at a different salon.
The stylist guy was really nice and sweet. He did his best to bleach my root and brownish part of my hair on the top. However, the result didn’t come out that good. The top of my hair is so much more darker than the rest of my hair. It looks ok when I’m outside, but it’s pretty weird/​ugly when I’m inside lol. Probably gonna go somewhere else to get this fixed.
Everyone is super nice tho. I recommend this place if you’re going for like a plain/​basic color.

Not even 1 Star.
Horrible service and performance.
If you don’t want your hair to be messed up, don’t even consider this at all.
Paul is the ownner/​store manager of this place, and he totally messed up my son’s hair, and there nothing we can discuss about.
No apology, and he even try to blame and made fun of me in front of all other customer and employees.
Unbelievable place.

I believed the lady who was cutting my hair her name is Karen, she’s actually friendly and the haircut didn’t come out too bad.
But it was my first time here and it’s gonna be my last time too.
Here are the reasons why:
1. They don’t really speak English and I do not speak Korean so communication is just painful and I should’ve known better and walk out at the very beginning.
2. The lady who was cutting my hair has this very dangerous way of handling her really sharp scissors like almost Edward Scissorhands and almost poke my in the eyes with it which I never experience before from getting a haircut.
3. She took the brushes from this drawer that labeled «SOILED» and the brushes are clearly dirty with lots of hairs on them, and I asked her doesn’t that mean they are dirty and can she not use those on my hair. And she told me «oh it’s ok» and kept using the brush on me and I am not sure if she just had no idea what I was telling her or she just has really low standard when it comes to being clean.
4. The floor has lots of hair all over before they start cutting my hair, and there are gunk in the corner of the cabinets that I am not sure what they are.
5. Again, due to the language issue, she kept cutting my hair shorter and shorter when I told her «too short», and she said «more shorter?» and cut it even more until I have to physically put my hand on my head so she can’t keep cutting them. I am the type of girl that actually is not too anal about my hair otherwise I would probably get really upset.
I went in there with my hair length half way in my back thinking trimming it like 2 or 3 inches, and I came out with a classic bob that’s above my shoulder. I don’t think it looks bad but it was not what I was looking for and I actually showed her multiple pictures before we started which is well below the shoulder.
So, based on the points above, especially with the dirty brush that clearly labeled SOILED on my hair and the sake of my vision, I am definitely not gonna go back.
p. s. I will post the image of that «SOILED» drawer so you’ll see what I meant.

Ask for Karen! She can cut your hair with her eyes closed! She’s super talented and very friendly. The customer service here is exceptional…

I got a cut and root touch up from Haesue and she did an amazing job. Most stylists have a hard time getting my color right. Usually when I find a new salon, I walk out with my roots a completely different color than the rest of my hair; thankfully that wasn’t the case yesterday. Haesue got the color perfect and she gave me the exact cut that I had in mind. So glad I found her!

I came to Lee Ka Ja to get my hair cut by Paul based off a friend’s recommendation. I always had my hair cut in Ktown, but now that I’m living in the Valley, I thought I’d give them a try.
I’m definitely satisfied with my cut, especially for the price. The ultimate test will be when I style my hair on my own and how it looks in a couple months time. I always went to the same hair stylist for years because the cut looked even better over time (which meant fewer haircuts!). Hope this cut grows out well.

Chloe is our stylist. My husband refused to go to a «salon». After he went to see Chloe, now he is the asking me to schedule his next hair cut. :)

I have been going to Haesue at Lee Ka Ja for many years and she never fails to impress. Great with color and cuts! Always takes care of me!

Really enjoyed going to this hair salon! I do not specifically remember the lady who did my hair but I think her name was Karen. I could be wrong. She was really nice and sweet and she knew what she was doing!

I haven’t been here in years because I knew someone who was able to cut my hair for free. However, this time I wanted to receive the whole haircut experience. I appreciate this salon for squeezing an appointment within the hour. Joseph my hair stylist was amazing! He cut my hair exactly how I wanted plus more. I have very heavy, thick hair and I feel like he chopped off 5 lbs without losing any length. My hair feels light and flowy! I would definitely return again.

I got a haircut here once which made me look like a male heavy metal singer with all the crazy layers.(i am a female) it took nearly two years for me to get rid of all the layers.

Stylist took her time with my hair. Didn’t mind the language barrier. She did a great job and i’m happy with my new hairstyle!

First off let me say, this was so last minute. I called to see If there was any availability that day. The lady that answered didn’t speak English well. I was able to say haircut today before closing. No problem come in before 7pm. In 30 mins I was there treated with shampoo, blow dry, cut, and straighten $ 35 in 45 mins. Literally, Paul, you are the best! Don’t talk much but doesn’t bother me. I told him what I wanted and he Perfected it ! Well done! If you are going to give this place a try ask for Paul. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

I love Chloe! Her haircuts and highlights are excellent. She doesn’t ever take a short cut. She is fastidious and a perfectionist when it comes to cutting hair. She shampoos, cuts my hair, dries it and cuts it again! When it comes to highlights she is not stingy at all. She puts highlights all over my head inside and out and weaves it expertly! She even makes sure to blend my few grays in. It’s always best to communicate and mention exactly what you want. She always listens. I believe with every hairdresser bringing a picture along is best. I’m glad I found her and my sister, sis-​in-​law love her. Aaand my hubby, son, and daughter go to her too! My son is an actor and model so his hair is very important! All I can say is he gets a lot of work, he just started and was represented by an agent right away! Thanks Chloe for always giving him last minute freshening up!

I only come here for a 2 inch trim, and $ 40 for that (including tips) is way too much for only a trim. I really liked my first experience here. I like blunt trim cuts, and Karen the one who did it for me had it just the way I wanted. However. the second time, her service went downhill for me.
When I waited for her to be just about done with the guy she was working on, she was doing his hair in a calm state. When she came to me, she rushed the whole way through and burnt my forehead with the straightener.
She also combed my hair really roughly (hurt like crap) and her scissors were so close to my eyes and face. One time while she combed my hair with both a comb and scissors in her hands something hit my face, i’m hoping its the comb and not the scissors.

I got my haircut today done by Chloe. I called in this morning shortly after they opened and got an appointment the same day at 12pm. I arrived about 20 minutes early, and she took me immediately.
My hair was very damaged and Chloe did a good job on reviving by giving me a fresh haircut and still maintaining my long hair length. She also gave me tips on how to keep my hair hydrated, which I appreciated.
I will definitely go back to her the next time I need my hair done, she was very fast and left my hair looking and feeling very healthy.

I had the worst hair experience ever. I walked in asking for a bayalage. I brought 7 pictures on my phone. What a disaster. I ended up being there for 6 hours and had my hair re-​colored twice and it is still a complete disaster. I almost left crying, I was so upset.
Never again. Maybe they couldn’t understand my English, I don’t know. But never again…
The lady even gave me her card as I left. Oblivious I guess. Her name was Karen.

I wanted to try a little something new, so I decided to get my haircut besides my usual barber. I called in asking if I needed a reservation and I was told I could just walk in. When I arrived, I was promptly greeted with the question of whether I had an appointment. I said no and I was told that I may have to wait a bit. Okay, I was fine with that, but what irked was after the 45 or so minute wait I was told chastised for not making an appointment. The lady told me that it’s a Friday afternoon and that they are very busy and will do it out of courtesy of having me wait.
The haircut itself was nothing too amazing as I’ve had much better but alas that hairstylist lives and works in a different country half-​across the world.
Also the cost is overpriced for a guy’s haircut.

Got my hair done by Haesue couple days ago. (Haircut+color) Haesue was very friendly and professional like always. I tried many other famous places in Ktown but so far. she gives the best best hair cut.
I didnt make a appointment before i walked in but luckly this one customer cancel the appointment ahead me so i didnt had to wait at all. But i will make a appointment next time because she many costumers were looking for her and she seemed very busy. And i dont like waiting! I Love my hair and my hair color and i will come back for sure! thank you haesue i love you!
