I was looking for an inexpensive hair salon on yelp and I felt good about this place from the positive reviews. I called and made an appointment on a week day. When i arrived, I waited maybe 10 minutes only. The hair salon is very spacious unlike other Korean hair salons. The staff attended to be right away when I arrived. The salon has a long couch for you to sit and wait comfortably. Overall, the store was nice to be in unlike other small and crowded Korean salons.
Due to past experiences, I was expecting a Korean that wouldn't be very fluent in English to cut my hair, instead I got a Caucasian man named Ellie. I printed a picture to show him I wanted layers and a one inch trim. He washed my hair and gave me exactly the hair cut i wanted. He also spent a lot of time styling my hair afterwards. He waved my hair using a blow dryer and a round comb. It was beautiful, I really liked the look he created, I also really appreciated the time he spent on doing it. Overall, I was very impressed and pleasantly surprised at the service I got from Ellie. I was expecting an assembly line style hair salon since they charged so little. Instead, Ellie took his time to provide me the look I wanted.
In total, my hair cut came to about $34 after tax. This is a very good deal considering I had a wash, cut and style.
The boss, if he was the one cashing me out was less friendly and inviting but I really liked the service I got from Ellie and I would highly recommend him. This place is conveniently located on Yonge street. It is very close to College station. I would definitely go back next time!
