Yong’s Fashion Wigs

If you only have a few hours before going on stage and belting out a Marilyn Monroe torch song this is the place to go to grab something quickly for the top of your head. I’m a little more particular about the quality of wigs I wear, but the stage call was very close, and this shop had inexpensive product arranged, in garage sale style. I’m not saying presentation is everything but for a moment I felt like a frightened downtown LA Korean shop owner, barricaded in his store, during a race riot. The place could do with some sprucing up. Good points are: The place is conveniently close to the freeway and nestled behind an industrial building. Lots of product and the range of wig styles is quite wide. I looked at some head pieces, thinking, ok if I was going to play a British magistrate, this would work, or if I had been transported from 1972 to now, would this be an appropriate head piece? The elderly Korean couple that run the shop are friendly and helpful. So the next time you get last minute casting call, drop by this place. Hastely erected cardboard signs will direct you to the back of an industrial building with plenty of parking.

«It’s Always Scummy In San Jose» Part 1:
Wow, the people who hang out outside this location at any given week day while the sun is up, astounds me. Calling it ghetto doesn’t even cover it man. Hood rats, homeless guys, junkies, boozers, gals workin’ the corner, you name it. I swear it was scarier during the day than it was the night I casually walked to Johnny V’s a few doors down at 11pm at night.
Anyway…
The shop looks crazy disorganized but apparently, just to customers. Because if you tell them what you need, they tend to be able to pick it out within seconds. Their only a CASH only establishment so note this.
I didn’t find what I was looking for but the daughter came close to finding what I needed. She was nice (cool) but I felt a little pressured to buy (not cool). Since it was a huge purchase for me and they no longer accepted credit… I passed. But they seem to have hundreds of selections of wefts and clip in extensions. Their aren’t many shops in the south bay that specialize it this type of stuff so I give em an A okay… but… eh, I still think their prices are higher than what you’d find on the interwebs.

I will never return to this store ever again. I took my mom here to find a wig a year ago and we continued to go here because they had a decent selection. A few months ago, my mom wanted to add hair to a wig that she bought from this store. The owner said she would have a specialist come in to add hair to the wig. She took a deposit of $ 10 from my mom, wrote down her name and phone number, and held onto the wig. Two weeks passed and we never received a phone call. I decided to contact the store and she said the hair wasn’t ready. She said to call back one week later. I called back and she still didn’t have the wig ready. My brother called and decided to stop by the store with my mom, but the owner claimed she didn’t have the wig and did not remember my mom even though we’ve met her several times. In the end, we got so frustrated and figured it was a lost cause. This store is definitely never getting business from us or anyone we know. The worst customer service I’ve ever experienced.

This store knows how to do it right. Do not be fooled by it’s outside appearance, because the staff here know how to cater to your needs.
Recently I was debating about coloring my hair red. During my lunch break my friend and I stopped into this store and saw a wig that would match the red I was considering. The staff were friendly (even though there was a slight language barrier) and knowledgable of the wig I was about to try on. They chose the wig based on my comments and needs and the moment they put it on me: myself, my friend, the owner, and her daughter — we all gasped at how beautifully the wig fit and looked on me. I was no longer a brunette but a smokin’ red head. This was the first time I seriously almost cried in a store – for joy. It was like finding the perfect dress, but in this case the perfect wig.
Only requirement to try on any wig (regardless if you purchase or not): $ 1.99 for a wig cap. I honestly didn’t mind because I though it’s more important for sanitary reasons.
The cost? $ 100 for a long red wig made out of 100% human hair. How? Why? Because they were personable and reasonable and worked with how much I could afford. Amazing. Forget dying my hair, I am getting a wig!

I dont mind parking somewhat faraway I am in good shape. Maybe if you are unhealthy, and cant walk, have someone drop you off, then its easier, being the parking is downtown. I love the people here, they are so helpful, like going back into a time machine and they actually talk to you and smile, laugh and ask how youre doing. The wigs are fab, fun and very reasonable. I love this place. love to change my look and omg… wearing a wig is so different than when our mom or grannies did. try a lace wig omgggg, not even my husband knew I had it on!!! This place rocks and really fun for parties, weddings, reunions, whatever. real life wigs. all great here… trust me.

A wasted trip for me, for sure. Their selection is limited and the 3 wig try on is even more limiting. Woman was nice until I started to leave and then told me to come back «when I was READY to buy a wig.» I told her I obviously was ready if I drove an hour to get there! Bad manners, location and merchandise left a lot to be desired. May be good for costume wigs.

I don’t mind the homeless hang out in the corner. I don’t mind the 30 minutes parking 1 block away. I don’t mind the language barrier.
I like the collection of synthetic hair for less than $ 50 & human hair for under $ 100. The owner is very helpful & try hard to get you what you want.
Note: to try a wig on by law you have to purchase the hair net for $ 1.99, regardless if you buy the wig or not!
Got my wig for Halloween, mission accomplished!

My experience from today.
The Store: You have enough room to walk around but chances are you will need help finding stuff. There are maybe 30 – 45 wigs out on display on wig forms, but the rest are stacked up.
Service: I brought pictures of what I wanted, and they were very quick about finding something pretty similar. They get bonus points for noticing that I was in a hurry, and ignoring a phone call to take care of my purchase. I was in and out of there in 11 minutes.
Price: I got a shoulder-​length human hair wig, which they had priced for $ 75, although they knocked off 5 bucks for me. I have no complaints with it so far – takes hair products and straightening irons well. A little pricey to me though, since I’m used to synthetic wig prices.
Misc:
–If you’re worried about language barrier, don’t worry. One of them has fairly good English. And if you know Korean, you’ll be fine.
–They sell colored contact lenses (circle lenses if I’m not mistaken), false lashes, and jewelry as well.
Overall, a pretty good experience although the prices are a little steep to me.

i love this store. they are friendly and helpful, just look past a slight language barrier.

I walked in with my elderly aunt looking for a wig for her. I asked a few questions to see what they had to offer and was totally turned off by the lady who was acting as though we were interupting her. She was not helpful and didn’t even want to get us a wig that we were somewhat interested in. I think they were doing something and we (the customers were interupting by asking about a wig (who knew!). My 84 year old aunt and I were in and out of there in less that 5 minutes!
I guess business must be good. Well… I’ll spend my green dollars anywhere else but here — I’m sure somebody will take my hard earned money but in return provide me with service.

Looking for some braiding hair, extensions, wigs, hair pieces human and synthetic. They have everything, but be sure you know what you want. It is like a little warehouse in there! there prices are good and the qualtiy is great there always up with the latest improvement of synthetic hair for extensions and braids. And they have a good variety of colors too. Very nice people.

Young’s has a great selection of wigs and hair. You can buy synthetic hair or human hair and they have a large array of different colors, wavy, curly, straight, ghetto, or not so ghetto hair!
You can’t expect amazing customer service here as it is either owned by Korean folks, or Japanese. I’m not trying to say that they aren’t nice or courteous, its just the language barrier makes it a little hard to communicate.
The one thing I hated was having to ask for different colors of hair or to see certain styles or lengths. All the hair is stacked up one on top of the other and it doesn’t seem like there is a particular order, but when we ask for a specific hair; they seem to pull it out exactly from the right spot. So they probably have some crazy asian way of organizing it, which my Filipino ass has no idea how it works. Its pretty nuts.
They have all types of hair and I was surpised they had fusion hair as well which was extension bonding type hair.
Being a hairstylist, yes the prices here are steep, but when you need a bundle or a weft of hair in a short amount of time, this is a good spot to search.
