Kim Sun Young Hair Salon

I’ve been coming to John for 2 – 3 years now, and he never disappoints me! He’s friendly, funny, great at conversing with his customers, and always gives you his honest opinion.
I’ve had an asymmetrical hair style for the last few years, and John always knows how to accommodate it well and make it look even better. Just got it bleached and dyed with him for the second time again, and I love it! He’s also great at teaching you how to work different styles with the cut you have. Thanks as always John!

Tried them recently because my friend recommended their branch in downtown years ago. Their service was great!!! They don’t speak much english but you would understand what they want to say through hand gesture. A little bit pricey buy worth a try!

I’m extremely picky about who cuts my hair…
I drove to Phoenix for a hair cut from John.
He’s good. But slow… Lol. Better than someone who rushes you. He LITERALLY cuts hair by hair with caution and care. So. If you are in a hurry. Not for you…
He listens to what you say, despite what he thinks. John and I disagree on both my hair length/​style and color. But he does what I tell him to do with precision.
I love John. He’s that good. He’s never messed it up for me so I have trust in him. Which in my opinion, is the most important aspect of a hair relationship.
Never up sells or tries to sell products either. Love it
Can’t give 5 stars cuz last two times I used my credit card here, i got fraud alerts. Not saying anyone at the shop is crooked. Just letting YOU know to use CASH ONLY.

Incho did a beautiful job on my crazy dead hair for my wedding. Dye job is great!
I always go to kim sun young salons. Even when I lived in New York for 6 years. My dad. Sister and mom all go to Incho.

Went to get a haircut and ask for short sides and really long top. I ended up getting my top cut short, which is not what I want. I’m really disappointed with the way my hair was cut and now I’m stuck with having to grow out my hair again.

Thank goodness for John! He is AMAZING! He was able to fix my basic haircut and style it with his signature layers! Thank you so much John!

Came here last Saturday for a haircut. Made an appointment for 3PM and didnt wait for too long. Donna did my hair, and did an amazing job! I had a really long hair so I was anxious on getting a haircut. I asked her to cut about 5inches and loved how she took care of it. Plus the fact that they only charge $ 30 for haircuts. Will definitely come back!

Made an appointment for 9 am. I went and no one was there lol. Waited until like 9:12 ish to give benefit of the doubt, but still no one came. I had to make a phone call myself to cancel my appointment around 9:20ish. I left my phone number when I made an appointment, but no one bothered to call to let me know that they’re running late.
Very unprofessional. And I wasted 30 mins of my life getting there, waiting and coming back.

This review is for Eun Cho she is a very unprofessional «stylist» –I made a last minute appointment with her (since John was booked) for a perm and cut. When I arrived, it seemed she over-​booked and suggest a hair cut only as my hair looked too «damaged» and the perm would fail to show. I asked her if she was strapped for time ’cause clearly, I wasn’t buying her bullshit. I drove 3 blocks north to LEE KA JA and came out very satisfied. Perm came out beautifully and cut was absolutely gorgeous (ask for Karen)! FYI the customer service here is night and day!
If you must come here, ask for John cause he knows hair. John has been cutting hair for 20+ years and he’s really good.

I’m very happy to find this place! I love my new rebounded hair! Joy and Hannah did a very good job! I would definitely recommend this salon to my friends.

If you happen to go here DO NOT GET HAIR CUT WITH SHORT HAIR STYLIST. She is not good with scissors and clippers. My hair looks like rat bite of chunk of hair. I should of went to k town. I dont know about other hair stylist but dont get your hair cut with short black hair stylist.

Awesome and affordable salon! My bangs were a little messed up from the last hair cut (I had it cut previously as straight across bangs and it totally uneven and really thick on my right side) but they fixed it up really nicely!
I also got a good 5 inches hair cut up to my shoulders and had it layered. It was perfectly layered (not too much but still noticeable) and I love it. Even people from my classes whom I’ve never talked to before came up to tell me that they liked my hair cut (no joke). This place is the bomb!
It was my first time coming here and the experience was pleasant. Staff were great and they were very gentle with my hair throughout the process (washing, cutting and drying). It took a little longer than I expected since they had to fix my bangs but totally worth it!

EunCho
I had a badly fried hair from bleach and she restyled and cut my hair to the style I wanted and made it better than the photo.
She didn’t judge me on my hair like most salon people do and made it a comfortable experience for me.
It was a first time here and my friend recommended me to this place and I’m so glad she did! :) I’ll be coming back here again for sure.

I stopped by today to get balayage highlights with Kim but Kim did not know what that was so I showed her pictures and I explained how I have dark hair so I did not want to go too light. I also mentioned that I wanted the highlights well blended and I did not want to see straight choppy lines. I then asked for a trim but ended up getting a full on haircut one inch turned into 5 inches. But that was not the worst part, once she blow dried my hair she revealed choppy and spotty zebra looking highlights! I told her about a few trouble spots that I could see at the salon and she fixed it but when I got home I saw sooo many more blotchy spots. I am never coming here again. I am going to try to fix it myself because I cannot afford to pay another $ 150.00.

Do you feel pressured by your hair dresser to buy new products? John won’t even recommend products; he says there are so many good ones and he doesn’t want to make his clients feel awkward about purchasing more stuff because they probably already have lots at home that should be used. John also said my hair is strong and healthy (i dont blow dry or use heat too much) so I probably only need 2 or maybe 3 cuts per year. That’s how professional he is. I can’t believe such a master stylist is so humble. What an awesome find in the CSUN area!!! John also made the interior design choices for the salon. I love the floor, sink and well kinda everything in the bathroom… tight! Some of his clients say the haircuts he does

I made a same-​day appointment with John and I am in LOVE with my new haircut. I tried several of the top rated Unilocal hairstylists in the Granada Hills/​Northridge area and while they were adequate, I wasn’t «wowed.»
John took my thick, wavy hair and gave me a customized, texturized cut that compliments my features & face shape. He understands the «look» you are going for and delivers impeccably a haircut that is personalized for you.

I never really understood the whole «go-​to» person for haircuts or hair styling, and never bothered to be anyone’s regular but I am sure glad I found this spot in the valley. Finally, I have found my go-​to hair stylist.
John is an amazingly talented, detailed hair designer! Having grown out my hair for the past year in hopes of having long hair, I realized I would never be happy with the extent of the damage… Which led me to the idea to chop off all the dead ends and go for a short a line bob. john is not stand offish but exudes this calming energy. He is skilled in cutting, and was extremely thorough and careful with my cut. An hour and a half later I had exactly what I wanted!
I highly recommend john to either male or female for any hair cut. I haven’t tried him for a dye job or perm yet but will update when I do.

Eun Cho is the best! I’ve been coming to this salon since it opened and she is the person I go to rather it’s for coloring, cutting, or treatment. She knows what will look good on you and what won’t. I’m very adventurous with my hair (blame Kpop hairstyles/​colors lol) and she always gives me what I want. She also will let you know if that exact hairstyle will suit you or not. I went in today to get a cut because I decided to dye my hair at home and the bleaching process ruined my hair especially at the ends! I just told her I wanted a A line cut with no pictures for example and she gave me one that suited me while getting rid of my horrible dead nappy ends. I am in love with this cut. She never fails to amaze me :)! Her prices are reasonable too for $ 35 (shampoo, cut, and blow dry/​style). She also helped my friend cut her dead ends while keeping the long length she desires

Hair transformation~ From drab to fab! I had my hair silk magic straightened by the recommendation from Sue, who let me know that this method is better than Brazilian Blowout in terms of longevity and health for my hair. My hair does really feels like silk — my boyfriend can’t stop running his fingers through it. I also got my hair cut and colored by Sue, again with her suggestion. The color came out really nice and I am extremely satisfied with the final result. Took a long time but worth every second.

I’m not from the area, but needed a haircut before Christmas. I really should’ve waited. I came here and asked for John after seeing all of the reviews on this page. I showed him a picture of a cute, very feminine pixie cut.
As he cut my hair, I could tell that he was skilled in what he was doing, but something seemed off… he was cutting my hair much shorter than in the picture I showed him. I waited, since i know it’s annoyed to be interrupted before the haircut was done, but I really should’ve said something. Unfortunately, the style doesn’t match the picture I showed at all. It’s been about a week, and I tried to give the benefit of the doubt that maybe it’s a style that just has to grow out a little before it looks good. I was very wrong, as it’s still nowhere close to what I wanted.
He told me late in the cut that he doesn’t work with «my type of hair» very often. For some background, I am Asian and usually have a pixie cut with longer bangs. Being that there were a lot of other Asian people in the salon getting their hair done, I was a bit offset to hear this.
Immediately after the cut, I think he could tell that I didn’t like the style, by the look on my face. I asked him to put product in my hair, to which he asked if I had product at home. I did, but I was very surprised that he didn’t show me how to style my hair with product… I think it’s because he knew it was a lost cause.
Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be back, despite the rest of the service being great otherwise.
