I asked the price over phone call. She said 50$ based on my explanation. Then said 70$ and said cash only.

I won't suggest this place! For male haircuts, if I ask someone with no experience, they would do better than here. And also $45 for haircut no

Will definitely be a returning customer. I showed her what I wanted and she did her best to cut it that way even though my hair wasn't as long as it should be for that style. If you're an asian guy looking for someone who knows how to deal with our type of hair, look no further.

The cut and color in itself was ok. However, if you are looking for good service, do not step in here.Here’s the brief: she made me uncomfortable and disrespected me by making fun of me to other clients while speaking in languages she assumed I didn’t understand. She joked with her coworker in Vietnamese saying that the new color she gave me was ugly, while later telling me in English I looked great in it. She joked about charging me double or triple for the work she was doing, because she was annoyed by how much time the work was taking. YES VIVIAN I understood it all! And I’m Not bringing my friends there! It was a horrible experience.Here’s the long story:I chose this place because of the reviews. I wanted to support a local Asian business, and I expected they would be more experienced with Asian hair.I came in speaking English since that is what I am most comfortable speaking and I guess the woman/owner assumed I would not be able to understand her.Unfortunately, I did. I came in for a highlight and haircut. Since coloring my thick, dark, and Asian hair was taking longer than expected in picking up color, she expressed her annoyance to her other client by telling her in Cantonese that I lied about my hair, how I probably messed up with my hair at home and re-dyed it black, making the coloring process longer and delaying her other appointments. She also added that she would have to double or triple charge me for her work, which I wouldn’t mind if it was actually worth it.First of all, this doesn’t make sense. Why would I lie about my presumed messed up hair? Wouldn’t I want her to fix it by telling her what I’ve actually done instead of possibly further damaging it? I have not been to a salon since covid started, and my first experience back at Vivi was a nightmare. If I weren’t already too deep into the coloring, I would’ve stood up and left. As a hairdresser, she should’ve known and allocate the right amount of time.When her assistant, which btw was great and actually took care of me, was washing my hair she also said that the color came out ugly, when later she proceeded to compliment me on how beautiful it looked.Also, if you come for a haircut, and you have longer hair, expect to pay at least $50, that’s what she was yelling to a client on the phone, probably to make sure I heard it too.I regret not confronting her straight away, but being on the introverted side, I am sharing this here.I work in the service industry as well,so I understand frustrations and difficulties, but I also see the stark difference between at least trying to care for a client, and wishing they didn’t even bother me with their presence. Her annoyance was appalling. I still paid and tipped, but I will never come back to this place, and I hope you don’t either.This btw has nothing to do with her assistant, who was wonderful and really took care of me. (I made sure to do the same when tipping her)I attached a picture to show that I’ve actually been there. The picture was taken while she was complaining in Cantonese to her other client about my too dark and too thick hair.

Very friendly and welcoming staff! I came here wanting to dye my black Asian hair to brown. The hair stylist was concerned about dying my hair because I have very thin hair and she didn't want to damage it. So she recommended highlights and I was so happy how it turned out!! I got so many compliments at work!Services: Hairstyling

Lien always does a great job with my hair. Whenever I try a new hair salon, I always end up going back here because no one can compare. I've been going to Lien for years now. She's precise and always wants to make sure my hair is done the way I like it. For a wash, cut and style, it was $50 which was reasonable. I only cut my hair 2 times a year and will only have Lien do it. Last time I went was in March 2021. I had to wait outside for less than a minute until I was called in. They took my temperature, took my contact information for contact tracing and everyone was wearing a mask. I felt safe during the whole process.

I usually make the trek into Chinatown to get my long hair cut, but wanted to try Vivi Hair Studio since it's a local spot. I got a delightful shampoo/scalp massage, cut, and styling for $50, which was very reasonable. Lien did a wonderful job cutting in long layers and curtain bangs, and gave me a great little blowout heading into the weekend. She also made me feel comfortable and confident with trying a center part, which is huge! A great experience overall.

I've been going to Lien for my haircut for several years now. She does an awesome job with meeting my expectations. My hair is long and thick and not everyone can accomplish what I'm looking for. Lien is the best!

Absolutely loved my haircut! The owner/hairstylist did an amazing job with my Asian hair. She was so meticulous and skilled with each and every layer. Price was very reasonable considering I had a huge amount of hair cut off. This is my new go-to salon!

Lien did an amazing job with my hair! I was looking for a basic cut preferably from someone with a lot of experience with Asian hair, and she far exceeded my expectations. You can immediately tell she is super skilled, precise, and meticulous. She listened to me and cut my hair at the exact length that I specified. She asked if I wanted layers and did a beautiful job--none of those uneven layers that I've gotten from less experienced hairdressers. Best of all, I was able to schedule a same-day appointment, and the price was very reasonable ($50 for my very long hair). I left the salon looking and feeling radiant. I had been a little nervous about getting my hair cut due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but they took every precaution to make them and their customers safe. I had to wait outside until I was called to come in, they took my temperature at the door, I had to write down my info for contact tracing, and everyone was wearing a mask. I really respect the work they're putting in to keep their business running smoothly and safely during these times. I'm thrilled that I've finally found my go-to salon and will definitely be back in the future!

I cut my hair about once every 1.5 years, and I ALWAYS make the 40 mins trek out to Malden to get my hair cut by Lien. The owner is super attentive and always cuts my hair exactly the way I ask her to. The hair wash is super thorough as well. From the beginning to the end, it's always such a pleasant experience every time I come. I was so happy to hear that they were reopened! Please make sure to call ahead to book an appointment and cash only during COVID!

I've been going to the owner for a haircut for over 10 years. Can't go to anyone else to cut my hair :)
