David’s Salon

Rebonding is why i always come here, even if I live in San Francisco! Its really effective and makes my hair easy to style!

If I could give zero or negative stars I would. Do NOT go here. I first went a few weeks ago for a wash, trim and updo. The lady obviously did not know what she was doing because I was in the salon for almost three hours! She did not even make my hair look close to the picture I showed her. Only God knows why I felt bad for her unpinning my hair 3Xs to keep trying. Finally, I left and had my friend fix my hair in 5 minutes.
However, I must be crazy because I did like how she trimmed my bangs, so I decided to try the salon another time. But, the lady was not there so there was this chubby guy I think was there the first time snoring so loud in a stylist chair!
So, he cut my bangs so blunt! Did not frame my face! Then I told him my hair is wavy and frizzy so it get’s unruly, he has the nerve to say to me as he is combing my hair «Oh, you did not even bother to brush your hair today». I said yes I did, I did this morning and threw it in a bun. Then that jerk says sarcastically, «Do you wash your hair? How often?». I was so offended I replied «yes I do, every night.» Then he has the balls to say «Oh yes you need to wash it every night». I replied «what is that supposed to mean, my hair is dirty!». Then he can tell I was annoyed. He was fumbling with his words and said «oh no, nothing».
Another thing that upset me, was he did not even bother to sweep or clean the chair after cutting some other customer’s hair. In addition, he charged $ 20 for a bang trim that he botched up?!
Point of story, I made the mistake of giving the salon a second try. Just learn from my mistake and others who wrote 1 star reviews. Do not waste your time or money at this salon. I am sure there are far better salons in K-​town!

I have really long, thick hair and I was never ever ever satisfied with how most salons would take care of my hair until I found David’s Salon.
I’m Filipino so it makes sense to say, «who else can take good care of you hair but a fellow Filipino hair salon?» But other than that, they really know how to treat any kind of hair, thick or thin.
It’s sort of pricey, but that’s expected from professionals and my type of hair as well. It’s also far away from where I live, in Orange County, but it’s still worth the drive and money spent.
One last thing, they do make up too! A+ results as well! I come hear at least 2 – 3 times a year and I am most definitely satisfied with the service and quality.

Ojie has cut my hair twice and both times it has been great. I will definitely be coming back ! Call to make an appointment so you don’t have to wait.

Was scared to try a new place/​stylist but they were great! Ojee obviously a master at his craft.

I had my haircut prolly around july. Back in the Philippines, i usually have my hair done at David’s salon. So im pretty sure they will do justice with my hair here. I just asked for a trim and side bangs. The usual going-​sideward bangs. Ojie was a great guy. I mean he seems nice. He did a great job doing the trim. But the bangs part was dreadful. He gave me a literal bangs on the side. Like a full bangs but this time just on the side. Where’s the style? I showed him how i want my bangs. I thought he knew what he was doing. Guess not. And he’s always distracted. Either talking to people or watching the tv show. Now i gotta waitfor my bangs to grow a little and have it done properly. Geez. Never coming back to this place ever again.

Went in for second cut today with Ojie and again satisfied. This guy’s consistent! Thanks David hair salon!!!

Why is it so hard to find a place to get a good haircut without breaking the bank?
I’m not from the LA area so I decided to hop on Unilocal to find a good place nearby in Korea town to clean my sides and trim a little off the top. Out of all the highly rated, inexpensive salons nearby, I decided to give David’s a shot. No one was in when I arrived, and the staff was a little awkward but I thought as long as the service is great, who cares.
Everything started off fine– Oijie (?), my stylist, asked me how I wanted it cut, I told him I wanted the sides cut down to a zero with a tight, high fade to blend into the longer top, which I only wanted trimmed a teeny bit. I had told him how 2 haircuts ago, this lady didn’t listen to what I wanted done and cut in further on the top corner of my head where I wanted the high fade done and it left that chunk of hair severely shorter than the other half for a month & a half– and so I wanted the sides now as even as possible. He complied with everything and started buzzing.
All was going well until suddenly he stopped and told me to head to wash my hair. I was confused because you only do that once the haircut is done… and one side of my hair still had an awkward bit left uncut (which I thought he would come back to), and he didn’t even show me the back sides of my hair and head with a mirror, so I stopped and asked to clean up said side before we washed. He ended up cutting in further just as I told him to be extra careful not to do. I pointed it out and quietly expressed my annoyance. He tried to even the sides out but everything was already cut to the shortest size there is (0) so really, it was all about being careful with the fade, which he failed to do. I think he was a little offended that I pointed these things out and asked him to fix them, but he eventually got it looking decent, he washed my hair half-​assed, and dried my hair half-​assed.
Overall, his efforts came across half-​assed, which sucks because there are plenty of reviews complimenting this place’s services.
TL;DR
place was awkwardly empty
Oijie had bad communication skills and apparently listening skills bc he did exactly what I told him to be careful in not doing
**now changing it to 2 star review because I’m checking out my hair and there’s patches of hair where it was supposed to be shaven down to a zero. How do you screw up a buzz?

I AM IN LOVE WITH MY HAIR.
I cannot describe how amazing Patrick is. I asked for balayage /​ombré hair and he did exactly what I wanted. His work is impeccable. I would 100% recommend to anyone!

Patrick is our hair stylist from when he was at a different salon in Long beach. He is such a great stylist. He listens to what his clients want and he makes sure that you’re happy with your haircut. He will not suggest a hairstyle that will not look good on you. Way to go Pat!

Ojie is the best at color and cut. I trust him and the miracle he does with my hair. I only get my hair done once every 2 years and have always gone to him.

Somehow, my first post was filtered by Unilocal maybe because I just started, but all I wanted to say was that my family and I have always had an excellent experience with this salon. They always make sure that the customers are comfortable and happy with the results.

I’ve been coming here since June 2011 and I’m still getting fantastic results. My hair loves their powerdose treatment and Ojie always knows the right hair color that would complement me. Ever since I started with this salon, I no longer get scalp irritations from hair color and my hair has always been manageable.

I made a same day appointment and went in to get a trim. Ojie was the only person working besides the girl at the desk. He seemed distracted by the blaring daytime talk show on TV, but I figured a trim was hard to mess up, so I sat down anyway.
I told him I was growing my hair out and that even though it had some split ends, I really only wanted a trim, so please just an inch or less off. He recommended we also do a «treatment» and I said ok, Cuz I know my hair is fried.
He did the treatment and then started hacking off my hair. It was definitely not like any technique I have ever seen. He asked where I wanted the bang and I said I didn’t want a bang, but he chopped it anyway at this horrible angle. I should have left at that moment but I desperately wanted to trust that he knew what he was doing.
But he didn’t. He rinsed and blew dry my hair, with a brush and clips he had pulled from his drawer labeled «soiled» and I stopped him midway because it was terrible. He cut WAY more than I asked and it was just choppy and stacked and awful. I’ll post a picture.
I had to go to another salon the next day to have it fixed and I’m basically beginning the grow out process all over again.
TLDR; Ojie should not be allowed to cut anyone’s hair. Ever.

Patrick is awesome! He gave me a brazilian hair treatment and hair cut. Love how good it came out. Very satisfied. Clean space and owners are nice as well.

Faded by one of the best hairstylist, Patrick Bautista! All my stress was relieved! Thank you again. super love it. :)

Even if it has always taken us 1.5 hours (without traffic) to get here, it has always been worth it. They really listen to your concerns about your hair and hairstyle. Their services will definitely exceed your expectations! :-) :-) I highly recommend this place to anyone ;)

I got the best hair cut from Patrick! It was really quick and they even took me in as a walk in an hour before closing. I looveeee my asymmetrical bob and will probably get my ombré here next time!

I have been looking for a place where I can get my haircut and not pay a fortune. It would be an extra plus if I could get a hair stylist out of it since I haven’t been able to find one at any Fantastic Sam’s buttt I stopped holding my breath awhile ago.
However, I always look forward to meeting someone with a new perspective on my hair. At this salon, I met Patrick. And the moment he walks up to you, you know that you are in good hands.
I had to explain to him how I think of my hair, and I’m sure it didn’t make any sense.
I showed him a picture of what I wanted and about 30 minutes later he turned the chair around to show me a spitting image of the picture I had shown him. I was blown away. I’ve been getting a lot of compliments on my hair, but what makes me most happy about the trip is that I found my hair stylist for a great price.
Thank you Patrick, I will be back over and over again.

I started going to David’s Salon about 4 years ago when I was a college student in the Philippines and I never let anybody else touch my hair again. ;) So I was glad to find out there’s branch in LA especially that it is in Korea town where I live.
Today I had Keratin treatment and we were extending well beyond 7pm when my boyfriend came to pick me up, and I thought it would be great if he could get a hair cut as well since he was already there. The stylist was very accommodating and he gave my boyfriend an awesome surfer cut kind of hair.
The owner/​managers are also really friendly so it’s easy to get a quote, schedule an appointment, or simply ask a question from them. Plus, they give great deals. Awesome!
