| - OK... I have to retract much of what I had previously said about Jim. Although Jim is familiar with how Asian hair should be cut, and has a good technique, the language barrier for English-only customers is basically unworkable. Even with a picture of the length and hand gestures indicating the length and angle of the cut I desired, I ended up with a crooked style that is a solid 5 inches shorter than what I had requested. Some of this is my fault, because he had to go back and cut it THREE additional times in order to give me the shape I had originally sought. Plus, if I had made an appointment instead of doing a drop in, the translator might have been available AND, I had made the mistake of bringing a photo of the length I wanted, and I think Jim may have thought that was the exact cut and style I wanted. However, these would not have been problems if I spoke more Korean or Jim spoke any English.
Still, it's a cozy and friendly salon and Jim and his assistant give a great shampoo. The last cut grew out well, but hung a little ragged for the first 2-3 weeks. Jim has a tendency to cut more than requested, so definitely emphasize the length you're looking for.
I probably won't return, but I might be convinced if it's just a trim and not a new style.
