I deleted my previous review for this business last year, because I felt pressured to write a 5-star review. The owner directly asked me to leave one for her at the end of my appointment. The only other person I can recall that has done that was patronizing at best. First off, I felt very uncomfortable during my time here because she kept trying to push and sell her products. My mother originally had scheduled a hair appointment, and I accompanied her and ended up being a walk-in. Apparently, she only takes 3-4 customers a day because her hours are limited, compared to other Korean hair salons. I should have just been stubborn and refused. I didn't want a haircut, but felt coerced to appease. I asked for a straight, clean cut, and it was not only choppy and layered, but also messy. She wanted us to buy hair care items (conditioner and hair oil) and placed them on the counter, as if we had no option but to pay for them. It left a bad taste in my mother's mouth because it's not like she was offering it--it was more of a must. The salesperson tactic she put on was one of the more demeaning customer service interactions of my life. She boasts about her experience in Korea with celebrities and also apparently is a makeup artist. However, I was unhappy and super dissatsified with how it turned out. She said she normally charges $35 for cutting bangs/fringes, yet she would do it free of charge. Like who does that? I ended up DIY-ing my own hair later at home because I couldn't stand the way it looked. It was super awkward because she ended taking pictures for me, and it was the strangest photoshoot session ever. Then, she somehow ended up convincing my mum to buy her hand-painted tissue boxes to pick up at another scheduled visit. At that point, I was so zoned out and ready to leave. I'm pretty sure my mother had zero interest in doing any more business with her, other than receiving the hair care, and the wooden boxes look like crappy work not even aesthetically-appealing enough to sell on a dreadful site like Etsy. We won't be returning. There are plenty of other Korean hair salons that are more affordable and will treat you like a human being, with better skills.

My first time time having Deborah Kim cut my hair. I went from having long hair to a very short cut. She did an amazing style that is very easy for me to care for. She made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The salon is very clean and had a professional atmosphere which showed her many years of experience not only as a hair stylist but as a makeup artist too. Give Deborah a try if you’re looking for a new stylist. You won’t regret it!!Hi

I'm in love with my hair! I asked for natural baby hairs (aegyo meoli) and she cut them perfectly! She made sure not to cut too much bangs because that's what I asked for. Mrs. Kim took her time to show me how to style my new hair cut which was very helpful as I am not good with styling. I've been coming here for so many years I cannot even remember. I am always pleased to drive a distance to get a cut from her! She always makes sure I'm happy before I walk out the door. She's great with all ages and I know this cause she cuts my moms hair too haha! Thank you Mrs. Kim :)

PSA: do not be fooled by the pictures on Yelp of mostly short haired older Korean ladies!! Deborah is a hair genius and artist After years of getting my hair cut from young barely out of beauty school hipsters who mask wonky unblended haircuts with curls and styling, I asked my mom for her hair stylist who she has been raving about for years. I don't know why I didn't think to ask sooner because her hair has never looked better. Deborah knew my entire hair history probably at first glance. She has the experience to know exactly what style will look best with your face shape (if you don't have one in mind already) and she scheduled enough time between appointments to where I was the only person at the salon until she was almost done. It didn't feel rushed like I was truly someone she saw as a person to help feel beautiful instead of a number to finish and get out the door. 10/10 would recommend!

Deborah is a fantastic hairstylist! She knows how to take care of her customers really well such as knowing the exact style that will suit you. She made my hair look so chic and stylish. The interior of the hair salon is also modern and nice as well. I recommend Deborah because she knows exactly the hair style you want and would suit you. She's amazing!

This is the best haircut i've ever had! she looked at the picture and knew exactly what to do! I've had many different people cut me hair and they always mess up the layers making it look choppy. However, Ms.Kim did an amazing job with the layers making everything blend together and look beautiful! She is the best and I will be going to her from now! Definitely recommend!

Fantastic hair artist. Deborah has been my hair designer for almost 40 years, and I lost her contact after she moved years ago. We were very lucky to come across recently and finally got my hair done with her. I can't believe I found her! Her cutting style is very creative and ahead of time, and she has been legendary in the industry. I am so stoked to meet her again!

This is THE BEST hair cut I've had!! I got lucky in getting an appointment last minute because someone had just cancelled. I usually ask for a mid-length simple hair cut that is easy to manage. I did the same thing with Deborah, and POOF! The results are miraculous! She is able to not only meet your requests but exceed your expectations. She is highly experienced and is also an artist herself (there is a picture of her in a showcase on one of the mirrors). She has explored different mediums of arts and her creativity shows through the way she does hair. I highly recommend checking out this place!!

Before I visited Deborah Kim Beauty Salon, I had no style at all. I had very damaged and thick hair due to ironing everyday. Deborah gave me an amazing job on me. Now, I love my new style. I don't have to hold my hot iron an hour anymore. If you are a tire of your hair style and don't know what to do. I highly recommend you go see Beborh.

Deborah Kim is the greatest!!! I've been going to her for about a year now and I can't go to anyone else. Her work is absolutely magical. She is very detailed and accommodating to your needs. My hair is very fine and prone to damage. Deborah recommended scalp treatment and natural hair dye to rejuvenate my hair and scalp to good health. It's absolutely worth it! Go see what Deborah is all about!!!
