Joyful Hair Salon

My mom and Aunt has been coming to SoYoung for many years in the AV. I am visiting from Washington State and was referred to come here. I love my hair! It has been so hard to find a good hair stylist and I finally found her!! She listened and did exactly what I wanted and beyond. Thank you~~❤️ Note the new location: Beauty El Salon 2044 W Ave K

Attitude is nice; but she doesn't follow direction as to what the client is asking for. I asked for a full service haircut; butterfly layers. It does not look nothing like the picture I kept showing her in case language was a barrier. As part of full service I am used to haircut, hair washed and style blowdry. She did a mediocre haircut, did not wash my hair and flat iron. I had specific asked for blowdry because I like to see my hair with volume and to show the work done. Will not recommend and definitely will not go back.

UPDATED REVIEW AS OF: JANUARY 2021 (Pictures has been added from Yelp) After a loooooong quarantine, I needed a trim bad. I immediately thought of visiting Soyoung to have my hair refreshed. Now, I am not sure what happened to her during the pandemic but she trimmed my hair as if she forgot how to cut hair. I asked for 2 inches off and she cut off more than 6 inches!!! She gave me a crazy layered look and insisted she kept the "length" I asked for by handing me the longest part of the botched layers (think 90s triangle layer cut). After 10 minutes, I hesitantly paid for my haircut because I am a decent human being. I literally cried when I got into my car because my hair was so nice and long… Thankfully, my friend fixed the disastrous hair I had to walk around in for A WEEK. I will never ever go back to Soyoung again. I am so so disappointed that she cut my hair so carelessly after speaking so highly of her in the previous years. OLD REVIEW: Soyoung is fantastic! She’s efficient and knows what she’s doing. I have very fine, straight but thick Asian hair and she knows exactly how it needs to be cut. I’ve had trouble with other salons (blunt cut, uneven, etc) but never with her. If you need a good trim or just want a new style, go and see her. You won’t be disappointed

Soyoung did an amazing job. She was able to fit me in her schedule. Super friendly and gave me the hair style I wanted. I highly recommend.

I called requesting an appointment for a perm, and Soyoung was able to fit me in 2 days later. Before she started I let her know that I was a little nervous, and she addressed all my concerns. She did such a great job on my hair! I’m so happy with it! I will definitely be coming back.

I did not get what i want, i did talk to her before she start working my hair. She said its gonna be straight for permanent but it's not after i take a shower my hair not straight again. I did pay for her service $300 for hair straightening permanent , i did pay for nothing!

Soyoung is one of the nicest ladies I have ever met. I showed her a couple of reference photos for my hair cut and she gave me exactly what I asked for!
