Overall: 2/5Service: 2/5Cut satisfaction: 2/5 - LindaCleanliness: 4/5Value: 1/5First time visiting for a short cut (Like Rachael from friends when she had the shoulder length lob). Tried to make an appointment with either Linda or Lydia based on the 'fantastic' reviews but because Lydia wasn't available, I was assigned to Linda. While my request was for a Saturday, the appointment staff said she's too busy and she wouldn't want me to get rushed service so I was given a Tuesday appointment. I showed up early, waited to get a wash, waited to get serviced as she was already working on three others at the same time. She cut my hair - in absolute silence (didn't care to make conversation) and not the choppy lob I wanted but way too layered to make the cut look like a round bob. Overall, the style at the end was okay but once i got home and styled my hair as usual, it was way too layered and made a round bob, disappointing, considering this place is a korean mijangwon but the price is that of a Sola Salon, where you can actually get individualized service. Would not come back or recommend.Service: Haircut

Thank you everyone so much! From the lady who checked me in to Grace and Linda, they took such good care of me! They gave me exactly the perm I wanted and were so kind with checking on me if I was comfortable etc. I will definitely be coming again the next time I visit California!

Late review, but I got my hair cut by June. She did an amazing job with the reference photos I gave her. I didn't realize how good it was until I spent the next two weeks getting compliments about it from friends and strangers. I recommended them RT7, and I also recommend it to whoever is reading this review as well! Everyone was super friendly and kind. Will definitely return :)

I was recommended by my friend to come here and it was a very new experience for me. I usually get my haircut for 10$ at a barbershop close to home. Here, however, they provide a robe for you to wear, a nice warm hair wash, and extremely friendly service. I got my hair cut by Lydia who goes by June now and she is very careful when cutting my hair. Although it seemed like she was in a rush due to many customers coming in, I was very satisfied with my hair. It was a nice and simple clean-up to my hair and I enjoyed my time there. I will definitely come back again.

Started to go here during covid when I figured it was overdue for a haircut. Ending up deciding on a digital perm and went here on a whim. My stylist was Lydia and she took great care in giving me the natural wave look. I loved it as I've gotten a perm before elsewhere and it ruined my hair. Since then I've been coming back to Lydia for my haircuts. I usually ask her for curtain bangs and just minimal layering towards the end to increase volume without my hairs being all different lengths. I believe her name is Lupe? But she usually ashes and preps my hair. And then might finish blow drying it towards the end and she is always very friendly. I have never gotten any coloring here so not sure about that. But won't be disappoint with the Korean digital perms and haircuts!

I have a wonderful experience with a professionally done, stylish hair cut from Linda and her crew. I will be coming back to keep the long hair length in check.

Most reliable when it comes to short haircuts for me. Would recommend anyone with thick straight hair like mine.

Came in for a cut and color. I wanted to try out a new place, and based on the reviews I thought this place could have met my expectations. I saw some of their coloring work and thought they could do what I was looking for. I also saw a lot of men's cut so I felt like this place would be specializing in men's cut as well. I don't have too much requirements for my hair. I know what I don't want but besides those, I'm pretty open with how they do my hair and trusted their expertise and skills. The haircut was pretty good and I could see my hairstylist's skill and eye for detail however it was a little short from what I wanted and the references I have shown them. But after a week it's almost to the length I needed. Which I accounted for. So I didn't sweat too much about it. However the coloring process wasn't the best. I did a double bleach and color. I initially wanted to do an interesting color scheme however, they said it would be too much work so they opted just a regular full color. I don't really care, I just wanted something interesting. The bleaching was okay however, they went really close to the scalp. Well basically on the scalp, and after the color it left me with blisters and decimated my scalp and made it super super dry. I understand it's an aggressive process on the hair but out of all my years dyeing my hair, my hair and scalp has never been this bad before. Even bleaching and dyeing your hair at home would probably be a better option. I got passed along to 3 different people to work on my hair, as it got busy and they needed to take their breaks. I'm not sure if the other people would know what I wanted but I don't think my first hair stylist communicated with the others on it. After a week with minimal washing, the color doesn't really hold up too well as well so I can't say that I am satisfied with their work. If I suffered the same problems at other salons too, I would be more lenient however, I felt like even my friends who aren't even professional can do a better job with the coloring and for a way lower price as well. I understand when it gets busy they have other costumers to take care of, but as a result time, my quality and attention suffered so be aware of that. At other salons I have been too, I also felt like I was taken more care of as well. In the end my cut was a liytle too short than what I wanted and the color is boring, didn't last long and extremely damaging. So from my experience I can't really recommend them, atleast for color anyway. Unfortunately this place did not meet my expectations.

Hair came out wonderful! I showed them pictures and they knew exactly what to do. I have been looking for a salon that has the same (if not more) quality work as the salons in Irvine. This is closer to home and customer service is amazing. The ladies are all sweet.

I left the salon today almost in tears, but not for the reason you'd expect! This is the BEST local korean hair salon, especially if you're going for that Kpop look! Linda is nothing short of a magician, she is so incredible! Ive had my hair cut & permed by her 3 separate times before posting this review. She barely glanced at the picture I had & just started going at it. She knows what to do for my hair wayyy better than I do. Consistency is KEY when it comes to barbers, and she is 100% solid at her craft. Her assistants are also amazing! The salon is super nice and clean, and all the staff are courteous & friendly. You get what you pay for here, and it is well worth the money. I have a major trip coming up & needed an emergency cut. Scheduling here is super easy & available!

This place has saved me from many bad hair days... If you're a guy/girl looking to dye/perm your hair, you've come to the right place. If you want a looser, Korean-style wavy perm that isn't as tight and curly as it the usual perm, you've come to the right place. They actually care about how you look and about the health of your hair here. My first experience at RT7 started with me just wanting a wavy perm and not knowing what haircut I wanted at all. Lydia asked me for my preferences and I remember muttering "two block" and "wavy perm". Lydia left me at the chair for a minute and came back with her phone, opened up to a Pinterest board of Kpop guys and Korean actors. She helped me choose a couple of photos of hairstyles that we thought would fit my head shape and that I personally liked, and she got started! Ever since then, I've been coming back to get mostly the same thing, albeit with slight changes. One of the stylists recommended that it would look better if I moved my side part closer to the middle, which turned out great! I love it when they give me recommendations as well as tips for care and styling at home. What usually happens when I come: - Arrived a few minutes before my appointment time (booked over phone) - Wait a bit until they're ready - Change into the gown thingy to protect my clothes - Hair gets washed (so refreshing...) - Haircut (~15 mins) - Perm (~30 mins) - Hair gets washed again - Final touches to hair (trimming and cutting) - Pay (Men's haircut itself is $35. With the perm the price totals to ~$100). I have very straight hair, but the perm usually lasts me 3 months before I have to get it again! As you would expect, the place is really nice and clean. Theres a waiting area. They speak Korean, English, and Spanish. There's always plenty of parking the plaza.

Excellent, professionnel, stylish without being over trop if you don't want it. Quick cut because the owner is an expert and is effortlessly precise. I love this place!
