Dk Stylebook

DK puts in a lot of effort in making sure that your hair ends up how you want it to be! It’s my first time and I’m really satisfied :)

amazing attention to details, absolutely would recommend. there are a lot of Asian haircut places around but I think this is one of the few that I would return to.

DK is really cool and spends a lot of time getting your hair how you want it. Also he is really reasonably priced. It’s just a little room inside a place with a lot of salons so if he is cutting your hair you are his only customer. You can tell he really takes pride in his haircuts so just bring him a picture!

Firstly, I want to let people know that I’m very picky about hairstylist because I have thin hair condition, I like to stick with one hair stylist, build a connection and go every often. It’s like seeing your PCP or dentist. I came in with really unhealthy, dried dyed hair and he definitely gave me useful information on how to retain healthy hair again. No, it doesn’t include artificial ‘leave-​in’ conditioners or all that expensive crap, but he advised with simple science (pH levels/​acidity/​neutral shampoos you can get on Amazon) and temperature of water when you rinse your hair everyday in the showers. I love his approach and time he took to style, snip off dead ends and let me know that it’s not time for a perm. He cares about client’s well-​being more than dollars and cents, and honestly in my opinion wins loyal customers’ hearts. Will definitely go back again after a month or two of hair TLC.

I got a digital perm at DK a couple weeks ago, and I am pleased to find out it truly didn’t hurt my hair! I had previously got a digital perm from the Japanese salon next to Mitsuwa and it totally damaged my hair. The price for the perm is just comparable to other Japanese salons — not particular cheaper, but at least it didn’t damage my «already damaged hair» even further. ;)

Definitely needed to trim the mop on my head, and DK did a fantastic job! I showed him a picture of the hairstyle I wanted, and he cut it that way and gave me some style tips. Also didn’t rush the haircut even though he was closing.

Thank you Mr. DK! I needed a haircut so bad! My hair now feels so healthy. After my cut I wanted DK to fix something and he got me in and fixed it the way I wanted. He’s got talent! Customer satisfied!

I’ve almost never went to hair salon in the U. S before (6 years studying in the US). I always wait until summer when i could go back to my country and done my hair over there because i prefer more Asian hairstyle treatment. DK did my hair cut and coloring today. Everything turned out great. I like the color and how hardworking he gave in to make my hair look good. DK gave me whole new experience and i am positively would go back again.

I was really scared getting a hair cut because I wanted to transition from long hair (¾ down my back) to short hair around my shoulders. I have really bad anxiety going to hair salons so I was initially very uncomfortable when I arrived there. However, DK is super nice and made me feel very comfortable. I love the way my hair looks! Thanks DK!

It was the last day of 2015. After going 5 months without a cut, the mop of «hair» on my head needed some serious TLC. I decided to try someone new that comes highly recommended.
Enter DK Stylebook. I called DK on NYE afternoon to set up an appointment. He must be really hardworking, because he asked if I would be interested in coming in on New Year’s Day. I was like, UMMM are you sure? You should be enjoying the day off! But I was free so… why not?!
Once I got there, we got started with a hair wash. I showed DK several photos of the cut I wanted (medium length A-​line bob) and he went to work right away. He dedicated a lot of time perfecting the cut and making sure the lengths are even on both sides, which I appreciate. Needless to say, I am very satisfied with my new haircut! I thought his pricing was very reasonable as well.
Money is tight after Christmas, so I did not get my hair color updated on this visit, but I do intend to call DK up for that next time.
I don’t usually like to upload selfies, but for DK’s sake, I guess I will put one here…

I’m incredibly picky about my hair, and for the longest time I’ve avoided going to a stylist for as long as I could, getting my hair cut maybe just once a year, out of fear of a bad haircut. Every salon I went to ended up disappointing me, even if they were incredibly highly rated. This time, I checked dozens upon dozens of stylists and salons before finally setting on DK, and deciding to trust him with my hair.
DK listened to my requests, and also took the time to not only give suggestions on what kind of style he thought would look good on me, but also took some time explaining what kinds of shampoos I should be using to improve the condition of my hair. He was very meticulous about cutting it, and constantly asked me if I liked what he was doing. The price of the haircut was really reasonable too.
I think I’ve finally found a stylist I’m comfortable going back to again and again!

After meticulous research for a new hairstylist in SD I decided to go with DK as his ratings were high and he was perfect for my Korean speaking mother. You can walk in but he recommends making an appointment in case he has other customers. He takes his time so make sure you’re not in a rush to go anywhere. But the time spent is soooo worth it. It’s a little pricey but it’s not an arm and a leg. You’re paying for the quality of the cut after all… perhaps next time I’ll remember to bring a picture: p highly recommend DK! Very polite and professional!

I just visited DK’s salon today. He is amazing and professional. He did amazing job of my hair. My hair was long, dry and damage. I showed him the picture and he cut exactly same as the hairstyle you want. I have a lot and to top it off, thick hair, he was able to cut my hair very quickly and accurately. I will come back and will recommend DK for my family and my friends. Make sure to call or txt him to make an appointment

Really recommend this place, awesome work with nice attitude. He is so friendly and try his best to do what u have exactly asked ! Great job.

I love have my haircut done by DK, he is a perfectionist, he takes time to discuss with you about what do you want, and get job done
I’m regular here, and I won’t let anyone else touch my hair beside DK, 5 stars all the way!!!

No need to say about how knowledgable and professional DK is! His expetise and talent are far beyond what i had experienced in the past. He is also a very nice honest person.
This is my third time seeing DK. This time I took my niece who is from OC to DK to have digital perm. Dk spent 4 hours to work on her hair since her hair got damaged from other places. Instead of doing digital perm as other places used to do, DK took time to work on her hair. He analized her hair texture first and worked slowly. It was 4 worthy hours.
Thank you DK for taking good care of my niece. Everyone has been giving compliments since she has had her hair done.

DK was the third stylist I went to within a month, and he finally gave me the cut I wanted. He took his time and meticulously worked to even out layers. DK was not only friendly, professional, but he is also extremely knowledgable about hair health, product and style. He informed me how I needed more protein intake and I was amazed how perceptive he was because I primarily have a vegetarian diet.
I look forward to working with DK again and can’t wait for my digi-​perm and color. Thanks, DK!

After seeing so many good reviews for DK, I got my haircut from him last week. I was nervous since I wanted to cut my hair short for the first time. I took some pictures to show to DK and he gave me his opinion and we decided which cut was best for the length i wanted. He cut off a good length of my hair and little by little snipped off the length to make sure i was okay with going shorter:) In total, I had about15 inches chopped off. I love my lob :) I would recommend him to my friends and go back for more haircuts in the future. Oh and he sent me texts to remind me of my appointment and also included directions to get to his salon. Very helpful:)

DK is the man! As a half-​Asian, I have some crazy hair that a lot of stylists don’t know how to handle. DK has an unbelievable attention to detail — spent so much time making sure it was perfect.
I didn’t have a set style in mind, but he spent a few minutes figuring out what would look good for me with my hair texture and facial shape. Loved my haircut, and when I came back a month later for my next cut, he remembered me from last time, and did another amazing job.
DK is my go-​to guy now in San Diego, and the new space in Sola Salon is really nice and private. Go see him, you won’t regret it.

Had a great experience with DK last month, when he was still at Park Jun’s (Zion). Texted to make an appointment, and he quickly responded with a confirmation. When I arrived, he had just finished with a client and I didn’t have to wait at all– very punctual!
DK was very professional and dedicated the entire hour on me and my haircut, & did not try to juggle me between other clients. I didn’t feel rushed at all, and he was very focused! He really listened to what I wanted, and I also appreciated the fact that he didn’t try to upsell me on anything — a problem I’ve run into a lot in the past! He gave me a lot of tips on how to achieve healthy hair, and reiterated many times that his priority was maintaining healthy hair rather than pretty trendy styles. He could’ve upsold me on a magic straight, digital perm or more highlights (If you tell me it’ll look good on me, I am very gullible) but he was very honest and said it would be too damaging on my dry, ombré-​ed hair, and I should focus on regaining the integrity of my follicles!
Came out with a great layered cut and my hair is happy and healthy again! I’ve FINALLY found my go-​to stylist in SD who knows what to do with my thick Asian hair!
My visit was basically a 3 in one: a lesson about hair PH balance, a Korean lesson to improve my accent (Spoke Korean my entire visit to practice… not sure if this would be problematic to a completely non-​Korean speaker) and third, a haircut! Fantastic experience and will be back soon since he moved into a new location!
