Ella Hair

I’m not gonna get my haircut from the lady that wears glasses. She has been cutting the back of my hair as if a rat was eating chunks away from my head.

Don’t ever come to Ella! They don’t know anything about time management, they don’t have any sense of urgency, or know to apologize when u make an appointment for 12pm and make u wait over an hour. The hair cut is not that great, don’t waste ur time or money go somewhere else.

Needed to find a nearby hair salon to get a haircut, and after trying a few places around La Mirada/​Buena Park area I randomly stumbled upon here through Unilocal.
I waked in without an appointment Friday, 10:40AM and there was only one customer at the time. I was helped by Sarah immediately upon arriving and received a very «professional-​quality» haircut. I say quality because of the fact that she took her time to do the haircut and made sure it wasn’t rushed.
I have found my permanent place, they are very friendly and what I love about it, is that I feel at home not worried about trying to «fit in» as most salons these days tend to give off (high-​end salons).
Will definitely be coming back!

Sarah cut and styled my hair today for $ 30. We had great conversation and she was very sweet! Loved the way it turned out and I will without a doubt go back again –and ask for Sarah! Weirdly enough, it was like she was reading my mind. I didn’t give a lot of correction during the hair cut other than my initial «this-​is-​what-​I-​want» guidelines at the beginning. As she was cutting, I would notice some hair out of place or a part that I didn’t like and she fixed it before I could even say anything. Precise would be an excellent word to use. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend.

On my ever-​continuing quest of finding a new hair place, I stopped by Ella Hair to get a much needed haircut.
The shop is super low-​key. Definitely not one of the fancy, silk robe, turtlenecked hair stylists with uneven angular cuts in their hair, but the price was right. $ 15 for a men’s haircut! What a steal!
Michelle was my stylist today. A few words about Michelle. She is professional, straight-​forward/​no nonsense, while being nice and provide super helpful information. She already had an idea on what kind of cut I wanted from looking at how my hair was shaped. She also noticed that the pomade I was using was building up on my hair and damaging it. She suggested changing pomades and using just a little bit at a time. She also gave me pointers on how to style my hair.
Overall very satisfied with my visit. I’ll probably visit a few other places, but for $ 15 here, I might just stick with it!
I walked in but did call ahead to make sure they had time, but from what I picked up from other customers coming in, I’d call in and make a reservation.
One concern though: if you don’t speak Korean, I fear you might not be able to fully express how you want your hair but that might just be my perception.

Michelle always cuts my hair great. She’s also super friendly and sweet. Always have a great experience. They always fit me in and always cut my hair in a way that totally makes sense. Very conveniently located and awesome overall.

A++++. I’ve been here twice. The second time is what’s going to keep me as a regular.
The inside looks clean and well taken care of. Has that feel like you’ve entered a place of quality.
I love me a good shampoo sesh when they massage your head. Feels like heaven and it’s relaxing.
Janice sat me down and cut my hair. Asked me how I wanted it done and I just told her make me look good. I’ll trust you. I like doing this because it demands the stylist to judge what would look best for a person’s unique qualities. Like an honest test of skill.
The process was smooth. Conversation wasn’t awkward or forced. Knew if I wanted to be left to chill in quiet. Didn’t hurt me physically in any way by mistake or ignorance. Paid very close attention to detail. I liked that the most. She put in a lot of effort. Seemed like she wanted to do her job and do it well.
The final result was awesome. Every haircut I’ve got was just whatever as long as I could use wax to cover anything I didn’t like until this cut. I really really liked how my hair was cut and how I was treated. Tipped her 66%.
Janice is #1. Ella deserves 5 stars.

Michelle and the rest of the staff are amazing!
Very skilled and professional, while also very friendly and genuinely caring for you!
Prices are reasonable as well!
I went in wanting my dark hair dyed and trimmed, and they took their time with my hair and asked questions/​made suggestions…
the results were amazing– I have never been so happy with my hair!
Never had a go-​to salon until I fell in love with this place today :)
Seriously thank you Ella Hair!

Michelle rules! I went to 2 different stylists at 2 different salons and showed them the cut I wanted and neither of them came even close not to mention I was charged over $ 50.
I showed Michelle the picture, and 30 minutes later, I have the EXACT cut and for only $ 25. I will never go anywhere else again.

I loved coming here ! I think my stylist’s name was Michelle and her and another lady were super sweet.
She always addressed me by my name and did my hair exactly how I wanted to. I do recommend brining in a picture if you want her to see what kind of style you would like.
I told her to keep it long but more layers and thinned out and she did that ! Including volume ! :) On top of that, she curled my hair without extra charge to see how I would like it !
It’s only $ 25 for a haircut for woman and that in my opinion, is a steal! Especially for how great of a job she does.
I don’t speak Korean but I was still able to communicate with them very well:)
I will be coming back here again!

Michelle and the other ladies were very cordial on my visit to Ella salon. They even offered me coffee while I was waiting for my hair to process. Michelle did such a great job; she put highlights throughout my whole hair and didn’t leave a single area unaccounted for. Since I’m naturally brunette and going for an ash blonde, it’s going to take a second treatment to get the color I desire. I will be back in about a week to get the get the final coloring done! I’m so excited because I already know she’s going to do a great job with all her knowledge and expertise! I usually get my hair done at another salon but I think Michelle is going to be my new go-​to stylist. She said my hair was badly damaged and made suggestions on what I should do to properly care for it. Also, her English isn’t real good but she tries her best to communicate with you the best she can and eventually you two are on the same page. I highly recommend Michelle, she really knows her stuff!

Very good spot recommended by our neighbor. This is the first time that Ian has not bawled during a hair cut. His hair dresser was very gentle, patient and caring. She did not tug his hair nor force his neck into any awkward angles. She cut Ian’s hair based on his mood and motions.
Mrs and I are very happy to have found this place couple of hundred yards from our home!!!

If you’re looking to get your haircut on a budget, this is the place to go. Don’t let the aesthetics stop you from walking in. It cost me $ 35 including tip (I gave her $ 10 because my hair was awfully damaged when I came in and she did an amazing job fixing it).
I came here based on a recommendation from my friend, and she had me ask for Janice! Janice is quite meticulous when cutting your hair, which I think is one trait a stylist should have! My hair was terribly damaged from sun exposure and straightener use, but Janice took care of that. I recommend you bring in a picture if you’re not proficient in Korean to give her an idea of how you would like it. I’m fairly proficient, but I just found it easier to show her a picture. The reason for four stars– my hair didn’t look like it in the end, but I was still satisfied. Not only did she pay attention to detail, she gave some small tips on keeping my hair healthy!
Tip: Call ahead and schedule an appointment!

ONE WORD: AWESOME.
Superb nice stylist= MICHELLE.
She doesn’t try to up sell any products to you.
She even refused to perm/​dye my hair because my hair condition was horrible.
I come here almost every month or so, to check my hair conditions and a trim= bangs wise.
Their haircut price is $ 25. Which I assume cheap compared to other Korean– owned salons.

Place: what’s great is not only does this place have skilled hair salonists, there’s a Boba place right next to it to grab and go a sweet smoothie. The atmosphere is comfortable, bright, and the aroma is not overbearing like some salons I’ve walked into whence you get punched in the face with the thick perfume.
Experience: I’ve been to different salons and as of now it’s been 2 years since I’ve been going to this one. My hair stylist is Jenny, she’s loving, pampering, and will give you what you want. The women here are very skilled with their hands. So if in doubt you want a new hair cut, whether it be sleek, sheek, straight cut, buzz cut, trim, crop, beautiful hair. This is a place you won’t regret coming to.
P. s. (it feels the best when they wash your hair, so relaxing haha)

I highly recommend this hair salon! I went in to get a short A line hair cut, the shortest I’ve ever cut my hair, and I love it!!! I told my stylist that she can style the angle and length to her liking and she exceeded my expectations! It fit my style and face structure flawlessly. Not only does this salon cut hair amazingly, it is fast paced and very friendly! I highly recommend Hyun, my new go-​to stylist. If you want to get Hyun, you need to make an appointment. She might fit you in the same day you call. But try to call 1 day before.

I have gone to Ella Hair twice now. Loved the hair cut the first time, went back and loved it again.
I was almost going to give up on the hair cutting world because the hair cuts I got always seemed too short, or I always had parts of my hair that are weird when cut. Some hair sticks up, some over… I know I’m a mess. Anyways, the ladies at Ella hair seemed to sculpt my hair, instead of just cut it. Amazing!
I told my wife that I will most likely go there the rest of my life. — Or at least until my hair falls out from old age ;) –
They also had them cut my 6 year old son’s hair too. Same quality!

Came to see my friend and ended up getting my hair colored by Hyun. she owns a station in the back area but was very nice and put in hair treatments too when she was coloring my hair.
Place isn’t fancy but gets the job done!
Color came out really nice and she gave me a discount since she didn’t have cc machine not set up for herself… so cash only for her… don’t know about anyone else in the shop.
I got my nails and pedi done too while I was there becuz it was time for me to get a pedi. so i got the pedi and mani by Daisy. in the shop. She just opened her station so she was having a opening special of giving free design!
She was very detailed and nice. would def. come back again! I think I found my new pedi and mani shop and for the hair too!

Michelle was so nice and friendly and does a super quick and perfect job at cutting hair.
Not to mention a very sexy looking lady and cute personality
I’ll be going back here from now on

Woman’s haircut is $ 25. Friendly environment and workers. The lady that cut my hair knew what she was doing and was experienced.
