I have been going to to this haircut since I was in College, I have been going to her shop for almost a decade. She is super friendly and always ask you how short do you want it and make sure it is the size and length that you wanted. She does an amazing job without ripping you off. That is the definition of Honesty. I am not the type of guy who likes to take my time and write a review, but for Irene, I absolutely love to give her a 5 stars review. On top of her good service and haircut, no one can beat her price. Very reasonable and make sure to tip her after.

I dropped in the store and she happily arranged me for a quick cut. She is a sweet lady with 25 years of experience. She always makes sure to ask me before cutting my hair. I will definitely come back to get my haircut again.

This is like your classic Asian hair salon that your mom takes you to when you're 12 to get your straight-cut bangs while she gossips about your neighborhood kids with the hairdresser LOL. IYKYK I found this spot looking for budget haircuts near my apartment. I have low-maintenance, thick, straight Asian hair so was essentially only wanting a basic trim from a professional familiar with my hair type. I made an appt for the afternoon a week ahead of time, and at arrival, I found that Irene was the only employee there and still working on another customer. She asked me to return after 15 mins, which I didn't mind. Interior is pretty beat, a bit cluttered and cramped. I asked for 4-inch layers, which was swiftly delivered within 20 mins. Irene was friendly and sweet throughout. Only $15 before tip??? WILD. After inspecting my hair at home, I saw that my split ends were gone and the layers were pretty even. Extremely fair price for the cut quality. I recommend Fashion Hair Design for folks on the hunt for no-nonsense, traditional trims. NOTE: My only issue was probably the hygiene. I didn't see much sanitation between cuts, lots of hair left on the ground and tables. I imagine it's hard being the sole employee, so it didn't really bother me that much (IMO, it feels kind of the same as going to your auntie's place who does trims for free)

I have been going here since 2019. When I first went in; Irene has shown me such kindness that I can't forget to this day. Even though I've relocated out of the Bay Area, I still find time to come down and see her. She's an excellent hairstylist who cuts my hair the best. I never miss an opportunity to tip big as she loves what she does and is one of the nicest people I've met. I hope to be coming here for many many years to come.

I've been coming here since I was ten years old. The owner has seen me grow up and always asks after my family. She runs the place like clockwork all by herself and I think of her as my auntie. Her price hasn't changed in years and I make sure to tip generously every time. She has taken the care to help me style my hair as I've grown it out this past year and I am very happy with the results.

First haircut in 2 years due to covid was right here. I was shocked at the affordable price, i'm not sure it is sustainable in an expensive place like Albany. remember to tip big if you can.

I came here because I needed a trim really bad. My ends were so thin and straggly, so I dropped in. I asked Irene to do a half inch trim and she did just as I asked, but when I looked at my hair from the back, I could still see through my ends..it looked horribly thin.. so I asked Irene to cut an inch off more and now my hair looks so thick and healthy. She did better than some hair dressers I use to go to that would charge $55 for a cut/trim and can't even give me a blunt cut.. I usually still see thin straggly ends.. so now I'll be going to Irene for my trim now so I can start growing my hair longer and the cost is reasonable.
