I hated this place and I will never get a hair cut in this salon again. A Korean old lady gave me a unforgettable haircut which reminds me that a barber can be dangerously deceptive and can terribly interrupt my life. My bangs was sharply tilted, my arch was unnatural, which makes my hair looks like a medieval steel helmet, and my blocked nape is like the surface of the moon. When she finished cutting my hair, she turned me around to the opposite side of sunlight. Instead using the big mirror she used while cutting. She took out a small mirror to show me her work, but the mirror reflects too much sunlight and my eye can barely open. I trusted her when I was not able to see how terrible my hair was, and now, I regret that I believed every barber is professional. A friend who picked me up could not stop laughing at me when he got a glimpse at my new haircut. I changed my designation to my apartment to get a hat to cover up this haircut that makes me ashamed of. Cheap price and cheap service. If you ever wonder how terrible a haircut you could get and are glad to pay another barber to fix your haircut, I strongly recommend you to try this memorable place!

I went here trying to support local business, but honestly this was one of the worst haircuts Ive ever gotten. I actually went to another salon to fix it because I doubted that they had the ability to do it. I gave instructions and then wasnt asked for more input. At no point during the haircut was I looking in the mirror, I was just watched my hair falling via my peripheral vision and wondering what they hell she was doing. In the end she just kind of stopped. I asked to keep my hair long on top with my bangs to about my ears, trimmed in the back and sides. It looked like my hair was roughly the same length everywhere (except for spots that looked missed). It was a total mess. I would say that there is a language barrier (there is) but honestly that is not the issue here. If you run a salon, dont cut someones hair like this and let them leave. Since it cost me the price of two haircuts, I dont think that the cheap price justifies any leniency in my review. Get you hair cut here at your own risk.

I dont think you could or should be writting a review about this place untill you actually get a haircut here. First off I could tell she knew what she was doing and this in comparison to all the lower priced haircut places for men around here because all I told her was to shorten the sides and back and square it up. She didnt have to bother me with a note another noob "styleist" put in my file. The shop is cozy and friendly. The haircut was $7 less than the other places I used to go to and I dont have to go somewhere else to get it fixed or shave off missed bits later at home. It was quick and quality work. Dont listen to the haters who never even went here. My only issue is that the sign outside states haircuts are 9.95 when they are actually $10.something, still cheaper than the $17-21 haircuts at other places.

I walked into Hair Art, looking to have my eyebrows waxed, and the first thing I noticed was that the place reeked of cats. I dont know if there were any, or if the place was just dirty, but a place of business should not have that smell. I was led to sit in an uncomfortable chair, and the woman in charge brought out waxing equipment that was obviously dirty, at the best dusty. A man and a woman, both in visibly(and smelling) dirty clothes stood over me, speaking in some foreign language taking turns removing hair. The overall job was patchy and shapeless, but I wanted to leave before they could do anything worse. Not worth the cheap price whatsoever. A dirty store with bad service

Im a lady with quite an undercut and I came in to have it buzzed. If you were judging based solely on appearances you might be put off by this little shop at first, the layout is a bit chaotic and unusual. Three guys were ahead of me and I waited about 30 minutes - the owner is the only stylist. Once I got in the chair she quickly went to work and didnt bother with small talk or anything (appreciated). I was a little nervous, as she doesnt have you face the mirror, but the end result was perfect - quick and super cheap. Highly recommended for mens haircuts and touchups. Not sure if I would come here for anything other than a minor trim on the rest of my longer hair.

NEVER EVER place to go. A disastrous place to risk your hair style. It is not even cheap. The hair cutter turns the chair 90 degrees against the way that you could look at your hair while she is cutting your hair. So you cannot see whats going on up there. I have shown the hair cutter a photo of a hair style that were so that she could cut my hair in that style. But the result was not even similar to that and I ended up with the decision to cut my hair more than what I wanted. Hair style is not a joke so that you risk it and give your hair to someone that is not willing to let you see your hair while cutting.

I have my hair cutted twice in this salon and they actually went very well. I dont think they are not as good as the haircut I got from other much more expensive salon. But therere two tips I wanna point out: First, I dont know if shes good at designing hairstyle, so I always showed her the photo of the hairstyle I want. Second, since the shampoo cost $5 so I never had my hair washed in the salon, everytime immediately after the haircut I found myself look stupid, but after a shower with conditionor everything turned very nice. So never jump to conclusion before you washed your hair.

I love this place. Good haircut done with speed and little small talk (my favorite part)! The prices are great for men ~$10 plus tax, but I always pay $12 total with tip. Occasionally there is a wait, but there are plenty of magazines, wifi, books for kids and a large comfy couch. There may or may not be two small dogs (weiner dogs?) roaming around. Theyll bark when you come in but settle down quickly. They only take cash/check so you need to be prepared.

My experience with this place was bad. The cheap price of haircut attracted me to go there but I went out of the place not even close to what I asked for her to do. She just cut my hair with her own will. If you care the style of your hair, dont go there. But if you just want to get plain haircut without much styling with a fair price, this might be a good place for you. I am giving one star because, I did not get the haircut that I asked for her.

I agree with Navid Jadid. you cannot see how long is your hear. and when she finished she told me look at the mirror. When I saw my hair was terrible and uneven. I was shocked. I told her that it shorter than the picture. She started arguing. I asked her later to take more from some places till we made even haircut. In that time she and I agreed that I will not go to her again because Im picky haha
