Tammy’s Hair Salon

I came on to Unilocal’s website for the first time in a long time to see that I had messages in my inbox. Turns out Tammy’s daughter, Diana P., had messaged me a year ago regarding my experience…
«My mom asked me to write to you about your experience at Tammy Hair Salon. We are deeply sorry about your experience but my mother had a difficult time with your hair because it is quite damaged and difficult to manage because of your condition and style you brought for her to work with (you can at least state that in your review). If your sister knew she would not look good with layers she should say something because my mom doesn’t know what styles she has recently tried. I really think you do not need to talk shit about my mom like that. Honestly, using the word „terrified“, if you were scared about what she would do to your hair after seeing your sister you can easily not get your hair cut. We respect the reviews and comments you have on the business and we once again are sincerely sorry for your cut that will „lock yourself in your room.“ As you can see, everyone has good reviews of Tammy, and you seemed off, and it sucks that your review sets off her entire business. We will happily refund you and your sister’s money because it was such a horrible experience for you. Feel free to contact her or visit her shop again for that refund. Also, the hair wash thing, I HATE having my hair washed before a cut, some people do not like wet hair so what is wrong with an option of dry and wet? I really don’t see the problem. Anyways, I hope you find a better hair dresser so you don’t need to slam my mom that does all my friends cuts, colors, and highlights and they are absolutely happy with it. I understand everyone is entitled to their own opinions, so I am sorry if I sound hella rude but I hate when my mom is upset.»

i’ve only entrusted Tammy for my hair going 4yrs now. As a working mom, it’s not so often that I get to a salon. Tammy knows what to do with my hair and everytime I step out from her salon, I feel good about myself. From the hairstyle to the shade of highlights, Tammy makes sure it will suit me. My son has always been my first critic and good thing he has always loved my hairstyles from Tammy. I’m just a happy and satisfied regular customer.

It is strange to me that Tammy’s Hair Salon gets only 4 ½ start. In my opinion, Tammy deserves 5 stars. She is nice and caring about your hair. My experiences at Tammy Hair Salon are always wonderful. Not only she is willing to listen to your opinion about how you want your hair to be cut, but also she gives you her professional opinion as well. I read about other reviews that how she gives your option of washing your hair and she loves to use her own cutting techniques. Honestly, I actually like the idea that my hair designer gives me option of washing my hair because I love to wash my hair and other gives me option on how to spend my money. In addition, using her own cutting technique makes her unique from other hair designer. If every hair designer shared the same technique, why would we bother to rate which hair designer is suitable for us. Moreover, while waiting for my turn to get hair done, I am impressed by the way she treats other customers: warming, honest, and considerable to your time. Under some circumstance, she only accepts appointment now, but it is worth to make appointment with her at 626 216 4437.

Tammy is a top-​notch professional. She has been styling my hair for almost two years now and I won’t look for anyone else. She is an artist, and I have had so many compliments about my «look» since I consulted with her and she became my stylist I am a professional actor and director and it is very important for me to look smart! Her prices are so reasonable on cuts, styling and coloring. She is also a kind and lovely woman.
She is always been easy to reach at 626 216‑4437.

Tammy has been cutting my hair for over 10 years, and I am a very satisfied, loyal customer!

**she’s moved to a NEW LOCATION — 333 East Main St, alhambra. Next to Game Stop; in same plaza as Arbys.***
TOTALLY SATISFIED. Love love LOVE my new do. Haircut for $ 25 and she did a fabulous job. Haircut PLUS perm for $ 60. can’t beat that. i was expecting to pay 100+. I have super thin lifeless hair, which now looks SO much fuller with the soft waves she put in. She took me 15min before closing — so call her; she’ll accommodate you if it’s not too late. you wont regret it. She’s such a sweetheart too! I’m going back soon for some highlights! SO glad i found her.

Awesome! I have super long hair and it was red, Tammy was able to bleach it almost platinum blonde for $ 110! And she is so nice! That was my first time going and it won’t be my last!!(: everyone kept asking me «Omg who did your hair? I love it!»

I tried writing this review as I was leaving the salon… that’s how great Tammy was!
First thing first: She’s now renting a station elsewhere, call her Tues-​Sat 11 – 6 at 626−216−4437 to make an appointment and she’ll direct you to the new place. «Hair Design» in the Ralph’s Plaza down Main St… across the street from LA Fitness.
I Unilocaled as I was leaving CSULA and she was the closest one to where I was with the highest review. I made it to her salon and saw the sign that she’d moved, within 10 minutes I was sitting in her salon chair.
Quite honestly she reminded me of my my mom, just as stylish ^.^
We spoke briefly about how I ended up there, and that my friend used to cut my hair but she’s no longer working in a salon. She asked me about my hair, I told her what I thought and she made a few recommendations. Essentially I said «I’m roll-​outta-​bed no maintenance.» She was super warm and friendly but once she gets chopping she’s all business… and whoa the way she wields the scissors was a sight to behold!
She was not pushy at all — she suggested highlights to show off the layers, but when I said I chose products that were chemical-​free, she immediately dropped the idea — I also asked about shampoo, she said it doesn’t matter since I don’t have any color in my hair, but in order to keep volume, she said I needed to stop using conditioner since it flattened the hair!
The cut and price itself was 5-​stars… that and she dried my hair with a blower and just her hand — «I never use a brush.» But what really threw me over was that after the cut, I realized I didn’t have cash on me, and she said «Oh no honey, you pay me back whenever, I trust people.» I rannnn down to the Ralph and got cash-​back (why pay the ATM fee?), immediately went back to pay her and she greeted me with a hug, and told me she’d call to remind me for a haircut in two months.
Are you kiddin? It was just fabulous.
Forget the HK Salons — I’ll stay with Tammy!

I went with good expectations based on previous previous reviews. She «over-​texturized» my hair (don’t snip w scissors, whack with single blade). Now I have no volume :-(. I am very sad, time will heal.
She is a sweetie, but not for me.

Tammy is such a sweetie!

This place is a hidden gem in Alhambra. Prices are cheap and reasonable. Best thing is NO WAIT TIME!!! Tammy is very nice and gives pretty good haircuts. She did a pretty good job on my fade. I think asian people’s hair is hard to cut. She does a great job! I have been here a few times now and I will be returning again and again =)
Come give Tammy a try. She wont let you down!

This is by far Alhambra’s hidden treasure for hair. I came here for the first time based on Unilocal reviews. Tammy is very professional and super nice. She started off by assessing my hair and asked what I was looking for in my cut. Let me inform you that I have really long, thick wavy hair. It was really outta control! Tammy took in everything I said and added a few recommendations, which I was open to and happily accepted. She said cuts start at $ 25, but since my hair was uncontrollably long, she confirmed that it would cost $ 30 and I agreed to give it a GO!
She added a few layers, thinned out my hair with her own technique, and straightened it. Wham, bam, GLAM! All in the hands of Tammy!
Do yourself a favor and see Tammy. You owe it to your hair.

This place is awesome! If you’re looking for good prices and a great cut/​color, you should definitely go to Tammy’s :) I’m superrr picky about my hair, especially my bangs. She didn’t go crazy with her shears and did a lovely job. Definitely a hair stylist I can trust.

This place is great for a quick, yet satisfying haircut.
I have long hair and wanted simple layers in tiers around my head. My hair had been previously layered, so I just needed to trim my layers since the last time I had a haircut ~4 months ago.
I asked Tammy to keep the tier levels the same, so she just needed to trim about 2 inches off each layer. What was nice was that even though it was a simple request, she made sure to to double-​check that each layer looked even and proportional to the rest of my haircut.
The cut took 30 minutes and cost $ 25. I’m satisfied because I left with what I wanted my hair to be.
–1 for a little inconvenience because it’s cash only – for now ?; Tammy mentioned that she’s planning to take cards soon. Yay!

There’s no hair salon like Tammy’s Hair Salon! Great deals and very nice staff who is appreciative of their customers. This salon is a hidden treasure in Alhambra. Sure, it’s going through a face lift, but what place isn’t these days. I will be a loyal customer to Tammy’s Hair Salon. Her, the staff, the prices, and quality of hair cut is EXACTLY what I’m looking for.

Tammy is great! her prices are awesome for the hair cut she provides. The new paint job is a big improvement! I’ve been going there for a couple of years and it’s only gotten better. I had long hair and I wanted to have a whole different hair do. She told me she would cut it short, and I was doubtful at first, but I love the new hair do she gave me. It’s a chopped layered short hair style. She’s a great hair stylist and she listens as well. If you want a new do, looking for a new stylist, or just want a good experience at a hair salon, Tammy is your place to go!

I’m definitely conservative when it comes to opening my pockets up to have someone possibly do something potentially sketchy to my hair but fortunately for me I was able to get TWO GREAT outcomes from Tammy. I got what I wanted and it was for a fantastic amount. Super happy and excited to keep coming back!

I rarely try new places to get a hair cut, especially because no one ever listens to exactly the way I like it. Whenever I go to places they usually cut my hair they way they think I’ll like it, and I totally hate that! I heard about Tammy’s hair salon from a friend of mine last week and I decided to give it a try. I absolutely loved my haircut! I asked for long layers, not too choppy bangs, and a nice oval shape length. The hairstylist Tammy did exactly what I asked for. I will definitely go back next time!

i love tammy! she’s really nice and what’s more she ACTUALLY listens to what you want.
prices are great — definitely will be back.

So. I almost never write reviews for any good/​bad experience I have somewhere BUT I abosolutely LOVED my hair cut so much that I had to express it! Tammy’s not your typical asian hair stylist who you tell what you want and then ends up doing the oppposite. She cuts it the way you want it! She also gives you great suggestions if you have damage hair (like me… unfortunately) BUT doesn’t try to hustle you like most hair stylist! She’s also super sweet.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! :) I will definitely go back!
Oh and I need to mention that I’m not even from California and I know this will be my go to spot every 3 times a year I visit!
