Soo Hairline

I have been coming here for my hair done for the past three years. Sue Kim is the best hairstylist I ever had. She truly cares for her clients; therefore all the hair products she uses are carefully chosen by her. Highly recommend for Amazing Hair Treatment and Color Coatings.

I come to Soo Hairline for my facials with Sanie. I’ve been with Sanie for almost a year now and I cannot live without her. I spent many years damaging my skin, and she was able to fix all my flaws in just 2 months. It was such a noticeable difference after my very first facial. Sanie puts so much care into my skin and I am so thankful for her keen eye and her amazing skills when it comes to great skin. Her regiment is easy and affordable. I used to use department store brands to try and take care of my skin, but because of my laziness, I never followed through. It was such a waste of money and my skin was still dry and I was still breaking out on a consistent basis. Sanie customizes lotions/​moisturizers for my skin type, which keeps my skin hydrated and glowing. The process is so easy that I am able to follow through with it every day without it feeling like a burden. All the products she suggests are mild and soothing to your skin, unlike products like Proactive and Neutrogena. I’m very lucky to have found Sanie. She has saved my skin and I am eternally grateful.

I would have given this place ZERO stars because customer service SUCKS!!! I never got a call back trying to schedule my facial early January, facialist overcharges price according to income or knowledge of ability to pay. She charged my mom MORE for the same service because she earns more, brought this to her attention, and actually my mom’s skin is BETTER than mine!!! She says that it’s because she’s older, but if this is coming from my mouth, MAN she does LESS work on my mom’s face because her skin is better than mine… that is BAD. I used to think loyalty means something, but apparently some Asians do not honor that… Go figure! Needless to say, my mom & I are NEVER coming back here and will find a facialist who is caring, reasonable, actually cares, and charges good prices and is professional.
I am looking for someone new who is actually NICE & cares about loyalty!!! It seems she cares more about money and making a profit versus keeping customers happy. I never felt more like a walking dollar sign & after 10 years, NO FREAKING WAY!!! Money is NOT everything.
New year + new facialist= better skin!!!

I was skeptical about going to an Asian hair salon because I’ve never had a great experience in the past with Asian hair stylists. I was desperate at the time because it was a Monday (08 – 24) and most of the hair salons I was interested in were closed. I called in the morning and spoke to a Korean lady who barely spoke English. It was frustrating at first but living in a Korean community in Shanghai for a year sort of assisted me in understanding Konglish. I was able to book an appointment for a color and cut that same day with a «GiGi».
I showed up on time and no one greeted me for almost 10 minutes. I was seriously pondering whether I should just walk out or not. Finally, someone approached me and led me to the back room to change into a smock. I was abandoned again for another 5 – 7 minutes. I started feeling uncomfortable and regretful for not walking out.
My assigned stylist «GiGi» showed up with a book for me to look through. There weren’t many color options to choose from and I had a difficult time explaining to her what I wanted. Anyway, I eventually picked out a color and she agreed it would be a good choice for me and we went with it. I was very nervous at this point. All these things started running through my head like… «What if I don’t like it? How long would it take for me to grow out the damage? Would it be fixable?» While I was sitting at the station, my stylist sat another female client next to my station and started consulting with her in Korean. I would have been irritated but I wasn’t… because this was exactly what I had experienced while living in Shanghai.
«GiGi» finally got started on my hair and I realized at that point… there was NO turning back. During the coloring process, I was in pain because «GiGi» was yanking my hair as she was quickly brushing on the color. I let out a few hints here and there to let her know she was too rough on my hair and scalp. She seemed like she was in a rush and she finished coloring my whole entire head of hair in what seemed like 3 – 5 minutes! My roots were untouched and she left to cut another client’s hair. She was literally working on 3 clients at once! Me and 2 others. I’ll say this though… she works FAST! While I was waiting for my color to settle in, she managed to wash, dry and style her 3^rd client’s hair. It was a bit amusing to me because she took care of all 3 of us in less than an hour & a half. I kept telling myself… as long as my hair turns out great… I’ll be nice.
I’ve been to a Taiwanese hair stylist and I hate the way they cut hair… more like «chopping hair». So, I specifically told her NOT to butcher my hair and only add soft layers. I was surprised that she understood and gave me exactly what I had asked for. From my own past experiences, hair stylists usually cut off more than what their clients want. Anyway, after my hair was completely dried… I noticed the color wasn’t exactly what I had originally wanted but I wasn’t disappointed either. «GiGi» blended the color in well and I’ll have to give her credit for working as fast as she did with 3 clients all at the same time. It usually takes about an hour and a half for a color and cut anyway. Bottom-​line, she made sure I was finished in that amount of time, despite working on 2 other clients as well. I couldn’t complain because overall I was satisfied with both my color and cut. Total cost came to $ 75 including tip… not bad. Would I return? Possibly =). Oh and by the way, after tipping and thanking her, I found out her name was «Esther». Who was «GiGi» then? Hahaha!

Soo is great, she’s really friendly and knows what she was doing. Although I don’t speak Korean, and we didn’t talk much, she managed to give me the cut I really like. I’ll come back next time for sure! Thanks Soo.

After many days of Unilocal researching to find a good colorist for Asian hair, I kind of gave up and just decided to stick myself inside an Asian place and walk into any salon (daring, I know). Well, I ended up in rowland heights and this is the place I ended up walking into.
I’m satisfied with my color. The Korean lady sue did my hair and it came out exactly how I wanted it to come out! I had wanted just a glimmer of lightness so that my face wouldn’t be too downcast from my black hair. Now my hair is this beautiful dark brown inside and a gorgeous shimmery brown when of am outside. I am so very pleased. I am also happy that she was able to sqeeze me in on a busy Saturday afternoon – she had customers co tinously coming in from the morning till six pm and she didn’t have any assistants there that day! Also her phone was constantly ringing asking for appointments so I knew I was being seen by the right gal.
I don’t know about the cuts because I just got a trim from her, but I’m definitely going to her next time I need a cut to check that part out.
Price wise I paid 80 for the trim and dye. Not bad at all!

I have been trying to find a steady hair stylist for years ever since my old one moved out of the state. Finally, after a recommendation from a friend, I have found a match.
The stylist that worked on me is the younger Korean lady that owns the place. She used to work for Kim Sun Young, but ventured out and opened her own salon. She doesn’t speak too much English so my Korean friend had to help me translate, but understands the gist of it. She doesn’t take any more than you request which 90% of most stylists do. She also colored my hair a deep burgundy out a special mixture she made just for me. The entire wash, cut, color and dry was only $ 75, which was cheaper than what we originally agreed upon when I first made the appointment, so that tip was well deserved. Very satisfied.

I’ve been going to this place for years. Just ask for my hair stylist Xiao Yang (if you know mandarin or not). Unfortunately I don’t know if he has a English name. He’s studied in Taiwan and Japan and is great with styling for young people. He also works on more mature clients, both men and women. He’s styled hair for singers and movie stars from Asia. Whenever they come over for a concert, he’s usually off to Vegas to style their hair. So book him early. He’s sometimes very busy. Last time I was there, he was booked up for Saturday. He sometimes throws in a deep conditioning for me when he feels I need it and/​or he feels I’ll have to wait a little longer when he’s with another client. Everyone else is great too. If you speak Mandarin, you have four stylists to choose from. There are also four other Korean stylists if you choose to speak in Korean. There’s something for everyone.
Edit:
Since they got bought out, it’s no longer Hair Quarter. It’s Soo Hair Line. Sorry for the confusion.
