Studio Ling

On May the 4^th I was in a wedding at Crowne Plaza. Ling did my hair and make-​up. I felt gorgeous, and felt like a celebrity with a glam squad of one in Ling! I got compliments all day and all night. My make-​up felt light and lasted ALL day and night.

Ling is the best out there! Not only is she very personal and memorable. She is an expert in her industry! She is in with the current trends and has a large dimension of styles. She is a sweet heart. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants a fabulous look.

So happy I found Ling! This is the 2^nd time she’s cut my hair and both times she listened to exactly what I wanted and walked me through the cut so I knew what she was doing. She looks out for her clients wants and the health of their hair. I’ve never dyed my hair but wanted to go lighter, so I had a million questions and she answered every single one! She made sure I was completely comfortable and made her professional suggestions until I was happy. I got balayage highlights and love them! Definitely go to her for your hair needs.

A year ago I moved to San Diego and worried endlessly about the typical things– including the difficulty of finding a new hair stylist I could trust. One year– three haircuts later– I’m so happy to have found Ling. She’s an amazing stylist, truly talented, and a wonderful human being. It’s so easy to talk to her– she really puts you at ease. She’s dealt with my crazy hair cut ideas and made them into chic trendy looks my husband loves. A good sign of a haircut is 1. Having your significant other notice it without needing to mention it. 2. Having him or her say that it looks sexy.
For conservative/​hijabi women especially, this place is ideal– Ling closes the curtains and this place is a little hair cutting oasis. I’ve referred tons of my friends to Ling– trust me and trust her– she’ll make your hair look amazing!

Such a great service! Found her through Unilocal and used the deal on here for the haircut and deep condition which was such a great price! Excellent service, and she was so easy to talk to (: I will definitely be back!

I’ve had one hair stylist my entire life so when I moved to San Diego I had to find a new one. Anytime someone other than my hair stylist cuts my hair I’m very skeptical, and almost never satisfied. Ling was my first choice and I hit the jack pot. She has an amazing talent and is the kindest person ever. She is so sweet and easy to talk to it’s like I’ve known her for years. Keep up the good work Ling! See you soon!

I also found Ling through her Groupon deal. And let me tell you, I am so glad I did my homework and visited her. I usually only get my hair done twice a year and now I can safely say that I will definitely be back to see her (and maybe in less time because she’s that awesome!)
I usually hate the small talk that comes with any service, I’m simply terrible at it. Ling made me feel like we had been friends forever. And her haircuts are simply phenomenal. I have super thick hair so I always worry about overwhelming whatever poor soul I find but she actively listened to what I wanted and most definitely delivered.
Tip: Haircuts are usually $ 65 but if you book your next appointment with her she drops it to $ 40. Definitely a great way to keep customers coming back (not that I think she had any problem in the first place.) Thank you Ling! Can’t wait to see you again!

Let me just start by saying I’m THAT girl who’s athletic and never really cared for her hair, gets super cut cuts, etc. Ling has convinced me that it is possible for me to keep length while still salvaging my split ended, chlorine damaged swimmer’s hair and I trust her!
She is so easy to talk to, knowledgeable, straight forward and honest and I appreciate that a lot in a hairstylist. She’s also gorgeous and so sweet and you can tell she loves what she does. I am officially converted to salon hair cuts and will def be using her!

I found Ling through a Groupon. But I think it was fate. I have been looking for a stylist since I’ve moved to San Diego, and I just haven’t clicked with one.
Well, I can now stop looking, because I’m in love with Ling’s skills. As a client, I’m always scared that my scrambled words and descriptions wouldn’t translate into something that the stylist can understand. That wasn’t the case with Ling. She understood what I wanted and offered great suggestions for my face shape.
She is fun to be around, and I had a blast with her. I can’t wait to come back for my next cut!

Ling is the best hair stylist I have ever been to. She knows that I want to grow out my hair for my wedding so she’s great about only trimming the dead ends and maintaining my layers. She takes her time and she has a great attitude and is fun to talk to. Her shop is inside a business building which was a little confusing at first but you could always call or text her if you’re lost.
Long story short, Ling is amazing and I highly recommend her!

Got my hair blown out for our firm pictures. I felt sleek and profesh! I highly recommend!

Just got my hair done for the first time here. I hadn’t gotten a hair cut in 2 years! Time just passed me by and I was scared that someone would cut off too much. But she worked with me really well, even though my hair was really dead at the end she did a great job of just cutting to where I asked and listening to what I wanted, unlike many stylists I’ve dealt with in the past. My hair turned out great and very healthy! She was also very knowledgeable and gave me tips on taking better care of my hair. On top of it she’s really sweet and great to talk to (and has great hair lol). Anyone would be happy coming here.

Wow. Where do I start
I showed Ling some photos of what I wanted for ball and she Blew it out of water
It was such a calm experience and I felt AMAZING when I left
I will post some photos soon but I can not say it enough Ling was amazing and I would come to her for everything if I wasn’t moving

OMG I was trying to write a review for the MAC store in Fashion Valley Mall. I do apologize. Let me figure out how to correct this.

Ling is amazing! I have been going from hair dresser to hair dresser for quite some time now. I have very heavy, thick, and course hair. Previous dressers would use razors on my hair, but Ling knew it was a bad idea. She really knows how to work WITH the hair and make it look its best. She also dyed my hair and brought it back to a healthy shiny color, which I haven’t had in far too long. I also walked in after just breaking my phone in my driveway. I walked in an anxious mess and by the time we were done I was so relaxed! She has a great personality and is fun to chat with. All in all, Ling is a professional and a sweetheart. I will definitely be back.

Getting your hair and make up done by someone new can be a little nerve wrecking… finding someone to do it for your wedding day was incredibly nerve wrecking! Having Ling take care of me and my bridal party was like having an old trusted friend doll you up.
Her great reviews grabbed my attention and after speaking to her on the phone I couldn’t wait to meet her. During my 2.5 hour trial run, I felt very at home describing the natural yet glowing bridal look I wanted to accomplish. I instantly loved the meticulous attention to detail she took with my make up.
On the big day Ling was incredibly professional and a pleasure to work with. Our bridal party included 10 ladies and she was able to calmly and carefully make each girl feel pretty. When it was my turn in the chair, Ling was able to keep my nerves at bay with her calm soothing and sweet voice. I was very happy with how my final look turned out. My bridesmaids and I kept receiving compliments about how ‘naturally gorgeous’ we all looked. What girl doesn’t wanna hear that?! Thank you Ling, you are a doll! If I lived closer I’d come get my hair and make up done with you for every special occasion I had! =D

I just redeemed a Groupon for a deep conditioning treatment, haircut, and styling with Ling. If I were well off, I’d have chucked the Groupon and paid more for the time and effort she put in, not only with my haircut and style, but her customer service. I felt like I had a therapy session with a sweetheart of a friend while getting my hair did! :D
Ling really listens to what you hope for in your new look and she takes her time to give you exactly that. I absolutely love my hairstyle and my hair is healthier looking and silky soft to boot!
Helpful hint for finding her location: her studio is #13 in the Sola Salon suite of the 1450 business building BEHIND the Denny’s (Google maps takes you to Denny’s and you’re left to scratch your head and wonder what it would be like to get your hair done in a diner (shudders)). It’s a super cute, highly efficient salon and I’ll be returning when I’m a hot mess again in need of Ling’s help and hair expertise!

I am very particular about my hair. Most hairstylists doesn’t even listen to what you have to say about what you want. They assume you want a certain cut because of your current hairstyle. I only have a couple of hairstylists that I can trust with my hair. It’s horrible when you get a bad cut and have to wait a week or two just to get back to normal so you can fix it. Especially when you have a special occasion you have to attend.
Houyling is AWESOME! She pay attention to her client’s needs. She listen to you while you describe how you want your haircut, shampoo and head rub. It feels amazing. Her studio is clean. She is a true professional.
I definitely recommend her for anyone who want a «REAL» haircut experience. I recommended a few of my friends to her and also my brother in law.

Houyling is AMAZING !!! I have been her client for over 5 years. I have referred all my friends and family to her. She is fantastic at what she does. I love the way she does high lights they last long time and she uses good product to protect my hair. The hair cuts consistently great and never disappointing. I have to tell you I am probably one of the most difficult customers you can imagine, when it comes to my hair and face. I have not been disappointed ! Her prices are very affordable and you know you will walk out with great looking hair.

My wife and I have been seeing Ling for a while now and I finally decided to write a review. She is really awesome! We tell her the look we are going for and she deliveries every single time. She is very professional and always on time. Keeper
