Minh Hair Salon

I really don’t like writing reviews espeically a bad one, but i have to since i been coming to this salon for almost four years. I’m the type of person who loves to give chances, but enough is enough. anyways i have been here for so long and Phuong (Steven) is the guy i always go to get my hair color and cut. He is good with women hair cut but not men. He is also not good with color. I had ask him to highlight my hair again since my roots are growing out. Instead of doing that he went ahead and just put some random color on my hair and it turn out to be orangy color. He likes doing thing his way. So if you want to get a nice color this is not the place you would want to waste your money. FYI the other ppl that works there also sucks too.

Let me just start by saying that I live in Los Angeles, but I make the hour-​long drive down to Garden Grove once a month just to get a haircut from Jeanie at Minh Hair Salon. She has been my stylist for the past 8 years and I trust her to do a good job. I’ve also convinced my family to start getting their hair cut there as well since they do good work.
Men’s hair cuts and wash are only $ 10. To be honest, Its not a high end salon, but I definitely think that the quality is comparable; at least in my personal experience. They play a lot of Vietnamese music videos, which is pretty dope. I have no idea what they’re singing about, but it adds to the haircut experience.
Parking is awful there since their private lot is small, but you can always easily find parking nearby.

I’ve been cutting my hair here, since I was a little girl. And that has been a long time ago. Today, I decided to try someone new which is Steve aka phong. Not only was he rude, but he also made rude remarks to my choice of hair color and the way I look. When I told him not too short, he decided to risk it and cut my hair into the hairstyles from the 70s. I hardly have any hair left to make it into a bun. I would rather put a wig on, then walk around with this hair style. The next time I need a hair cut, I’d rather pay a visit at koogai or amazing hair. Better service and way better haircut. At least they understand how I want my hair to look like, how to be attentive, and at least they know what’s trending and what’s not. Time to open vogue and learn some new hairstyles, dude. Worst hair dresser in the west coast, hands down.

Great, cheap place to cut hair.
$ 15 for wash and cut for girls.
$ 10 for barber services.
I think it might be a little more if you request a specific style aka show a pic.
Tam is a great stylist of hair on both men and women. The others are good too!

I am super picky with hair stylist. I don’t like it when they talk to me when they cut my hair. I don’t like them trying to upsell me on products/​services. I really just want to go in, get a hair cut and leave. I like that I can tell Minh exactly what I want and he will do it. No question asked. «Do not touch my bangs. Do not cut length, I just want it layered.» 20 mins later, DONE. In and out with a hair wash + massage FOR $ 15. Honestly, one of the best haircut place I’ve been too since it fits my schedule and needs.
I’ve been here twice now. I used to go to some other fancy place in Brea for $ 65 and I hated the way she cut my hair. But this, $ 15, and the area has amazing food after. Yes, yes and yes.

Both me and my girl have been going here for a while now and they have yet to disappoint. Were both always very happy with our outcome. They work fast and give you exactly what you want and it’s cheap.‘a thumbs up from both male and female perspective.

I paid $ 25+ tips for a hair that look like it was cut straight. I asked for bang but it was the same side length and my hair… he just moved some hair Over. I forgot who I had though. When I asked my boyfriend how I look, he reply «you look the same». He took awhile too– _​– so this place is a no go for me. 1 star for his company. He actually talked to me.

If I ever have a hair related nightmare, it wouldn’t be as horrifying as my experience here.
I will keep this short.
Came in asking for a color. Wanted a light brown, came out a ginger. and she missed a spot. my widow’s peak didn’t get any color. so just imagine how awkward that is.
Got a cut by Minh the owner himself… showed a picture of Kylie Jenner’s short hair… came out with a mullet. soooo please never go here if you want nice hair.

We’ve been going here for years, my wife for over 20 years. Jenni is the only one who cuts our hair. She’s excellent and very fast. Of course the price is really good too. Vietnamese salons are always a real ‘culture experience’ especially given that Mihn, the owner, is into video and has these large flat screens that are almost always playing Vietnamese broadcasts, much of it music videos. So it’s never dull there either.
Oh, and the parking can be a challenge because this is a very popular part of Little Saigon but you just need to be prepared to walk a ways, either from down the street or in the Asian market/​mall parking across Bolsa.

Showed her a picture of how I wanted my hair to look like & specifically told her to NOT cut my hair, just use tools to layer my hair. First off, she needed to blow dry my hair from a hair wash. She pointed the dryer onto the back of my neck with one hand and began to TEXT HER BOYFRIEND. Should’ve known to get up and leave at this sight.
She rushed through the process by chopping off a lot of my hair because she was complaining to her boss how she didn’t eat anything all day, which is also around the time her boyfriend came to visit.
Worst service and even worse haircut.

To be fair, this rating is for a Vietnamese hair salon. You really can’t compare it with mainstream salons. That said, it’s very good. Most stylists know what they are doing. The owner, Minh cuts hair very well. He’s always busy. My wife chooses Phong (Stephen). He’s gentle and takes time to cut her hair. He’s also busy. They always wash your hair before cutting. The price is very reasonable. Most clients are repeated customers. That tells you something.

I’m a very nice person that gives reasonable ratings but I have to honestly give my first 1 star rating to this place and say this salon, was a DISAPPOINTMENT.
Went here to give it a try because the previous Unilocal reviews were really great. But I REGRET coming here.
I came to chop my hair off. Literally, like 6 inches. I wanted a new look, try short hair for once, get a fresh new start. I showed the guy I had that day (Bummer, I forgot his name. Guess he wasn’t worth for me to remember. THAT’S how bad it was.) a picture of how I wanted my hair to look. He said that he can do it & told me it may look a bit different from the picture since the model in it had a different face structure but he assured me that he knows how to cut short hair & specializes in it so I agreed. As he was cutting my car, another client of his came in and it was a lady & her little infant. From that moment that the client came in, my guy started to rush. I mean I know you have another client waiting but she’s having you cut her BABY’s hair, whereas I’m getting my hair cut short for the FIRST TIME. HOW CAN YOU RUSH LIKE THAT? ANYONE can cut that infant’s hair. It’s just an infant, so why does it even matter who cuts it? The worker knew that I was cutting it short for the first time as well so it was personally rude for him to rush like that. You can see it all over his face that he was rushing too. That second client may or may not be a regular to him but whats for sure, he lost a potential regular. My hair came out nothing like what I wanted and what the picture looked like. I was naïve to believe that he could do it. This was a BIG THING for me chopping off my hair & it was wrong of me to ever coming here in the first place.
Parking was ridiculously small & the place was empty when I came (shouldn’t known that was a SIGN).
Don’t make the same mistake I did & come try this place out because of the previous reviews. Go and give it a try if you personally know someone who has been here before and get their opinions.

I have been getting my haircut at Minh’s Salon since 1999. This is a great place to get your hair done. Parking lot is kind of small. My barber is Tam. He always does a wonderful job. He is very skillful and talented. I would recommend him to my friends. If you want to get a good haircut, please check out the place and ask for Tam.

I’ve been getting my hair cut from Steven (aka Phong) for years. Minh Hair Salon is located on Bolsa and Moran, right across the street from Lee’s and right after the Asian Garden Mall on the right hand side in a REALLY small (as in it’s the salon and like 2 other shops) plaza. Parking is HORRIBLE here. There’s like, 5 spots and it’s a bitch to get in and out of. Trust — I have a truck and it takes me forever to get in a spot. If you can’t find a parking spot, there’s usually some on the other side if you keep going down Moran, towards the bakery and auto shops there, near the fire department. I sometimes forgo getting a haircut for months because I just don’t want to deal with the horrible drivers in the area and/​or the small parking lot they have.
This place is like most Asian salons nearby. It’s a bit small, there’s chairs for guests to sit in and there’s usually Paris By Night or some other Asian show/​video playing on the big screen they have there. If that’s not on, Minh, the owner is usually rocking out on the karaōke machine.
Well, like I said earlier, I’ve been getting my hair cut from Steven for years — since like high school. He’s really good, although sometimes I get really frustrated with him because I’ll make an appointment to get my hair done, but he’ll take on another customer right before and I have to wait and usually while he’s doing my hair, he’ll take on more customers and then switch to the other customer while I’m waiting for my hair to get washed or the dye to be done. If I’m just there for a haircut, I’m there for about 1.5−2 hours because usually I have to wait even though I have an appointment, then he’ll wash my hair, cut it then style it. If I’m there for a dye job and haircut, I’m there for AT LEAST 4 hours. If he doesn’t take on customers at the same time during my appointments, getting my hair dyed and cut shouldn’t take more than like 2 hours. Nonetheless, I go to him because he knows what he’s doing and I don’t have the patience or time to break in a new hairdresser. He knows what I like and he doesn’t charge me much for it too.
Service is awesome — he usually buys me food from the to-​go place next door or from Lee’s across the street while I’m waiting, so I can’t complain. He’s a really nice guy. The owner and one of the other guys who work there, Danny, are really nice and good at what they do too. If you can’t get Steven, then go with one of the other two.

I tried out this place because of the reviews I read and I needed a haircut badly so a day after reading Unilocal,I made an appointment. I got my haircut from a lady there, I’m not sure of her name Jeannie or something like that possibly… she didn’t introduce herself. She was nice, not talkative to me since I couldn’t speak Vietnamese and she couldn’t speak English very well, but she asked me what type of haircut I wanted and what my ethnicity was, haha.
Then she washed my hair and cut it within 30 minutes. She did a typical layer haircut which I asked for since I was just trying out the place first. It didn’t come out right, and not as great as other Korean hair salons I’ve gone to in the past. I thought a simple layered haircut was hard to mess up on but the layers were not smooth and gradual and the blow drying hair style afterwards was terrible. She curled it pretty badly which hid the layers until I got home and took a shower to see how my layers turned out. I also realized she did not cut my bangs which I had asked her to do. I was a little disappointed since it did not meet my expectations, but I will come back to try other hair stylist that are working there since the reviews seem to rave about the men hair cutters.
The hair cut was $ 15 with a $ 5 tip.

I truly love this place! I have gotten my hair cut all over SD and OC, but have been coming back here for over three years now. The shop itself isn’t anything fancy and the bright neon green interior paint might throw you off. But don’t let that scare you!
I have cut my hair with seveeral stylist here, they are all good, but Don is the man. Don is now the only stylist that I go to. He doesn’t speak english very much, but he certainly knows his craft. I love the fact that he is super detailed and takes his time on you. You never feel rushed and you always leave feeling like you were taken care of.

I sometime just know that I have to get a haircut and when I want something, I pursue it right away :) if attainable of course.
I’ve been going to this hair salon for over 2 years because my father is friends with the owner, Minh, and I always get my hair cut by him. Minh is very talented in which he cuts hair quickly but also with the quality. However, like a lot of asian service, there is a lack of social between us, but it never stopped me coming to him.
On my last visit to Minh Hair Salon, I was instead served by Danny. (almost all the workers are male) I showed him a picture of the haircut I wanted and not only did he match it almost perfectly, he had altered it to fit my head shape. This I know because he and I agreed that the model in the picture had a different face and he knew how to adjust the hair style to correspond with mine. I have to say honestly, out of all of my haircuts with the owner, Minh, the haircut with Danny blew me away! I think it’s because of the special consideration Danny gave to me on the shape of my head. Additionally, he was very sociable to me. The haircut was only $ 15 and I gave him a $ 5 tip :) Should’ve gave more but hey, I’m only a college student. In the end, I walked out beautiful and with his business card in my hand awaiting for the next time I’ll have my haircut with him

I’ve been to so many hair salons in Westminster over the years, and have paid numerous prices and none compare to this place. Nearly everyone who works in here do amazing styled cuts. I usually get my hair layered and these guys in here do them all the time everyday, I trust every single stylist here so I usually don’t bother with an appointment. Do not let the cheap price make you think it’s somehow lower quality, because it’s not.
They take their time, wash, cut, and straighten for a very good price. If anything, I think they deserve to charge more! Highly recommended, btw it’s an asian place, cash only!
