Ok Hair Salon

Both Young and Gina have cut my hair and it’s been great each time. Highly recommended especially for Asian hair. Call for an appointment and bring cash.

I love love love love Gina! She is one of the sisters who co-​owns the salon. I’m terrible at specifying what I want other than «er, something easy to maintain» while waving my hands about vaguely. She always knows what will flatter my face shape the most and doesn’t get annoyed at my lack of direction.
I had Gina do my wedding hair and makeup in 2010 and I couldn’t be happier. I went to the salon a few weeks prior with my mom and Gina did about 15 diff quick styles for us so we could take pictures and decide what I ultimately wanted. On the day of my wedding she came to my house at 4am (it was a 10:30a ceremony) and despite the ungodly hour, she was cheerful and ready to make me look amazing. I specifically told her I did NOT want to look heavily made-​up (aka I don’t want the azn glamor shot look). She did a phenomenal job. I essentially looked like I didn’t have makeup but I looked PERFECTLY dewy and glowing in all my pictures. I don’t think my skin has looked that beautiful since I was a fat toddler. A ton of bb cream and blending was involved :). Since my dress was strapless, she also blended down my neck and my décolletage so I looked completely even and blemish free, and completely natural. Gina even gave me a bit of extra bb cream and a sponge to touch up areas as needed throughout the day. My hair looked great too! Unilocalers, feel free to PM me if you want to see some pics if you’re looking for a wedding makeup artist/​hairdresser.
Whenever I’m in SD visiting my parents I try to squeeze in a haircut with Gina!

Cozy place in Mira Mesa. Very friendly service.

Terrible. They do not know how to cut hair. Asked for a trim, and they chopped all my hair off. Uneven SAS well!

I had Gina cut my hair. The place is pretty nice and I was pretty happy with my haircut but the only reason I have to give it 3 stars is because of how expensive a haircut is here. I understand it is a small business but I was expecting 35 – 40 because all I got was layering, bangs, and a trim. It was $ 45 plus 5 dollar tip because of courtesy my mother taught me. I would go again if it wasn’t a total of $ 50 dollars for a cut. Nice people who know what they’re doing though good luck to them.

Gina is very friendly and professional Hairdressor! My hair was really dry and damaged. She took care of my hair and gave me a good suggestion on a new hair style without damage it again! I am very satisfied with my new style!

I have been there several times. They always give me good suggestion and teach me how to take care of my hair. They are very professional and efficient.

I think I got Gina this morning for my haircut, but whoever she was: she was great! I was just visiting from out of town and really needed a haircut and picked this place based on reviews and proximity to where I was staying. I came here after making an appointment.
I went in with straight long hair down past the middle of my back. I showed her a photo of what I was thinking of, which to me looked like a slightly asymmetrical shoulder-​length bob. When she saw the photo and me telling her what I expected it to look like on me, she explained to me very clearly how it was actually an A-​line cut slightly higher in back and longer in front and how it only looks slightly asymmetrical because one side was tucked behind the ear.
I felt totally comfortable going ahead with it once she explained the cut and she started by chopping off the bulk of length before washing. Seeing her sectioning technique of getting different levels of layers and texture made me feel really good about coming here. I got exactly what I wanted and it looks great, which has only happened a handful of times in my life when I’ve gotten my hair cut!
I would gladly come here again. Highly recommend.

Gina is great! make sure to call ahead to make an appointment. They are very efficient and make great recommendations to their clients!

Gina and Young have been cutting my hair for 17 years. I don’t let anyone else touch it. I also get my hair permed straight here and they do an awesome job. I get a lot of compliments of how nice my hair looks thanks to them.

I’ve been going here for about 8 years and the two sisters do a pretty good job with cuts. Ive never gotten a perm or straightening from them but they cut hair well. The only thing is that it’s kind of expensive for a cut — $ 35 and they continue to raise it. But overall, its a good place to go for regular cuts and they do give loyalty services to long time clients

Have you ever been disappointed with your haircut?
After experiencing some bad haircuts from different barbershops, a friend recommended me this place in 2008; it is 2014 and I am still coming here for my haircuts, even when it is 20 minutes away from where I live. Youngshin and Gina both know how to style your hair the way you want it, OR if you don’t know what you want you can always ask them for help– you will not be disappointed.
Sitting there and talking to them makes it all the more entertaining. It’s like the barbershops you see in the movies, where everyone is cracking jokes and laughing their heads off– almost the same– minus the laughing their heads off. You can never be bored here!!!
I’ve recommended this place to my friends and family and they’ve enjoyed their haircuts very much. They have been back several times!
So if you’re dying for a new look and a great time, you should definitely check this place out!

I have been going here from last couple of years. This place has all the things I need. The staff very helpful and friendly. They are doing right jobs. The prices are little high and could be controlled. In SD this salon is the best option.
The lady in here always do a great job with my hairs. she cuts them nicely. I am satisfied with this salon but the prices should be considered.

Gina was friendly and gives a good cut. $ 20 for males. Credit cards are not accepted here so that’s why I’m giving Ok Hair Salon four stars, instead of five.

quality for a decent price this place is a gem the ladies here are very nice and arent just trying to get you in and out. i was nervous about trying this place even the mermaid salon (EXPENSIVE) screwed up my hair and gave me an unflattering cut without thinking about what works for me. young is very skillfull she knows what shes doing and also gives good hair advice i will definetly be back :)

Moving to San Diego 4 years ago for school left me the pain of searching for a new barber/​salon. I’ve had many issues at the Sports Clips in UTC as they have a hard time with getting a basic fade right. I am no professional but random long hairs in your freshly cut fade seems like a bad haircut. Correcting my haircut coming straight out of Sports Clips, #*ck me right? Like the process of finding your significant other, I have had to go through many terrible salons/​barbers in San Diego before I had discovered this salon! Thank you for coming into my life, I will never leave you!!!
Young does a great job cutting hair for Asian males and she has been the only one to touch my hair for the past 2 years! She washes your hair before and after your haircut, which let me tell you is a luxury for men as most barbers will not offer this service! If you’re looking for a great haircut, I highly recommend Young! PLUS, she’s funny!

Love this place!
A pair of sisters own this hair salon! Very friendly and good at what they do:):)
I always get a basic cut but my mom comes here for perms and cuts. I like that they give honest opinions, can be artistic or practical as needed by customer :)
Also, I don’t think it’s $$$… I think it’s more like $$

I just moved to San Diego and was worried I was going to have to search around for a decent hair salon. I am an Asian male (Korean) with a funny shaped head so it is easy to mess up. I was referred to Ok Hair by a friend of mine who went through all the disappointments of the big chain salons. Made an appointment a few days ahead of time with Young and got an perfect hair cut the first time. She asks you what you want, constantly sizes up your head and all the angles while she is cutting and even gives you a nice wash at the end. She and her sister are funny ladies and the haircut was definitely a good experience. I highly recommend.

Call for an appointment! Best straight perms. I have been going to see Young for six years now. She knows what she’s doing!
Young knows how to cut Asian hair. I have a lot of hair and pretty thick hair, so it’s great to go to someone who has the patience to give me a good quality hair cut rather than using a razor blade and thinning it out. Over the last six years, I have gotten trims, body waves, bobs, straightening, highlights, and color. I usually just want a layer or to get split ends trimmed out, the price is really reasonable, $ 35 – 40 for haircut and $ 175-​$ 225 for perms. Compared to many other perms or straight perms in SD or LA, she charges a reasonable price without damaging your hair.
I’ve also recommended my family and friends. My mom, sister, and two other friends are regulars there now. I always get compliments on my hair and I always tell them to call Young! Her sister co-​owns the shop, I’ve never gotten my hair done by her, but she does a great job too.

I’ve gone here for the past couple years to get my Japanese straightening with Young. She does a good job and I’ve been satisfied with my hair each time, but the price could be better. There aren’t many places where I can get straightening done in San Diego though, so I can’t complain too much. If you want a good straightening, I would recommend coming here if your budget allows. They do get pretty busy here though so definitely make appointments in advance, unless you’re just coming for a quick trim!
