OMA Hair Salon

I decided to get my hair cut here because it was on the more affordable end. However, you pay for what you get!! If you have any attachment to your hair, and I do mean ANY attachment, please shell out a couple of extra bucks to go to a trusted salon. I got my hair cut by Li (the owner). My hair was waist-length, and I asked for a trim since I have been trying to grow it out. After the first cut, my hair was noticeably VERY choppy and uneven. It looked like I had haphazardly cut it at 3AM with a pair of kitchen shears. I asked for a revision, which she granted. My initial intention was to trim off max 2-3 inches. With the revision, I ended up having 5-6 inches cut off and am still unhappy with the end result. Li was extremely apologetic and refunded me, which I can appreciate. However, the trouble of having to book ANOTHER hair appointment to get my hair fixed is not worth it. I think that hairstylists need to be honest if they feel that they cannot cut your hair correctly. Frankly, I never understood excuses like "your hair is too thin" to justify a bad haircut. Why not save us both the trouble and tell me that you are not capable before holding a pair of scissors to my head? If you are ever in LA and have fine/Asian hair, I strongly recommend everyone go to Theodora Hair Studio.

I’ve been going to Rosa regularly for my haircuts (short-mid length + layers) for a few years now and she always gets it right. She’s always very attentive and knowledgeable, so when I decided to dye my hair recently I knew I had to book w/ her. Ghost roots + haircut both done by her, and I genuinely could not be happier with the results 💗

I found the salon on TikTok and saw that Rosa was a highly rated stylist so I booked with her. Unfortunately, my experience was very uncomfortable. From the start, my interaction with her felt awkward and impersonal. There was a lack of warm greeting, no "how are you?"or "how was your day", and that definitely left me feeling like I was not wanted there. When I explained that I only wanted to trim about an inch off my ends, Rosa insisted on lecturing me about hair care and tried to convince me to cut more than I was comfortable with and this made me feel very pressured. I probably had to say the words, "I’m only comfortable cutting off one inch" about 13 times. She then goes on to ask me how frequently I trim my hair, to which I told her 1-2 times a year or whenever I feel like I need a haircut, which she was very clearly not pleased with and started a lecture overusing the analogy of how having split ends is like having a cracked window. The most terrible part of this experience was when she started cutting my hair without any notice. She was visibly displeased by the fact I didn’t want more than an inch off, so when she started cutting without my consent, I almost had a heart attack. I hadn’t even gotten the opportunity to express that I wanted other things (layers and face framing pieces). It got to the point where it was so awkward and I felt incredibly dismissed that I had to tell her I wasn’t comfortable with her cutting my hair. To this she responded "I’m not comfortable cutting your hair either because we can’t agree." I’m sure this salon has skilled stylists but my personal experience with Rosa was terrible.

I got the cut with rosa ..i’m very disappointed how this turned out because I never had chunky end like this, it looks really bad with out blow outs and my hair was better before this haircut. She also cut too much length when i asked her to keep the length and it’s not properly layered and just chunky straight end. I’ve been to a lot of hair salon but this is the first haircut that I dislike because the other stylist were able to do what i asked for past few years but she said my hair was too thin for what i asked for. It turned out always like the picture but she failed to achieve the hair I asked for. Also, it felt like very rushed.

I love Brianna!!! I went in for a trim and wanted bangs and she did so perfect!! Right after the cut i wasn’t sure if I’m into it but the more I look at it the more I love the way she trimmed overall!!! See picture before and after (the one with bangs is after). Also - Brianna is super fun to talk to and very efficient. Love her!!! Will come back. I also got TONS of compliments of my hair!!! LOVE!!!

I had a wonderful experience with Li, the owner of the salon. My hair was extremely long, uneven, damaged, and full of split ends, and I wanted a healthier look with more volume since it was very flat. Before starting, I asked Li if the style that I want would suit me, and she took the time to explain what she could do to achieve the look I wanted. She made sure we were on the same page before beginning the trim, which I really appreciated. The end result was exactly what I hoped for. My hair looks so much healthier and has great volume now! The price is also very reasonable. As a college student, finding an affordable hair salon in SF without breaking the bank can be tough, but this place offers great quality at a budget-friendly price. I highly recommend Li for her skill, attention to detail, and fair pricing!

Rosa is AMAZING! I came in for a last-minute walk in, and am truly BLOWN AWAY, especially for such an affordable price! I came in for a long-hair haircut, and after showing her some inspo pics, Rosa gave me gorgeous layers, curtain bangs, and a blowout that left my hair silky and voluminous. This is my favorite haircut I’ve EVER had! Will def be my regular spot now 🙂
