Korean Hair by Stella

Had to look for a new hair stylist since my old one moved. I came across Stella on Google, so I thought I'd give it a try. I showed a picture of what I wanted, but requested a slight change. She executed it flawlessly, which is RARE. Stella is also super nice and accommodating. In the first 5 minutes I could easily tell she's been doing this for a while and that she's a professional. I'm going to Stella for all my hair needs until further notice.

Amazing hair straightening experience with Stella! Hair turned out soft and natural looking. Great hair cut as per my request. Service was reasonably priced too.

This review is for a women's hair cut ONLY (no wash, no color/perm). I had high hopes for this salon given all the good reviews, but unfortunately my experience was more aligned with the lower ratings. I believe this salon may be better suited for Asian male haircuts. Pros - same-day appointment, Stella is nice and accommodating, free water/tea Cons - For a women's cut ONLY, no wash or blow out, 15 min in/out for $60 (would've been more with credit card) - almost exclusive use of thinning scissors after initially cutting ~5inch with 1 cut on each side. I asked for layers - thinning scissors is not the answer. - I have thick hair, and I could see that she was trying to handle sections of hair that were too large - Application of heat (blow dryer and curling iron) with no prior heat protectant. This is a well-known no-no for people who care about their hair. My hair looks like it was cut at home - I can see the initial blunt cut at the end for a lot of my hair. I will admit that I wasn't terribly specific with my request (5 inches shorter, long layers), but I trusted Stella based on all of her positive reviews. I am not Korean and do not speak Korean. I am disappointed in the cut and service, which were neither premium nor worth what I was charged. I would've been okay to pay half of what I did, but I still would not return. Overall, I regret coming here for a women's haircut, and I would not recommend this salon to any other women.

Stella is awesome! She gives great suggestions for hair styles that match your face and is super detailed and careful when cutting your hair. She's also always accommodating on times so it's easy to schedule an appointment.

I’ve been here since 2023, and Stella always does a great job on my hair. 100% would recommend for anyone trying to get their hair styled and cut.

Stella is so great, I always come to her to get a perm (men’s) and she always COOKS on these hair cuts, cannot recommend enough.

Outstanding service and results at this Korean hair salon! Stella is an expert when it comes to perms. This is definitely the best place for anyone wanting top-notch Korean hair styling in the Santa Clara area.
