Volar Salon

Had my best ever haircut from here. Received many compliments. Will definitely continue coming here from now on, and I highly recommend anyone curious to do so as well. I have very flat, straight hair, and they were able to give me texture and haircut that suits my head shape. The barber was skilled and provided his 2 cents on what would look best, and that was amazing. Very professional and knew what he was doing. Came with hair wash as well. 10/10 very satisfied!

I've searched far and wide for a barber who can REALLY cut Asian hair. After doing about 30 minutes of research, I found about Al from Volar Salon. He did such a great job! I looked (and felt) like a K-pop star afterwards! I will be returning and requesting him again. Thanks Al!

Second edit: Al is AMAZING. I’ve gotten my hair colored like five times before, and I’ve never been this satisfied with the result. A large portion of my hair was previously treated with a dark brown semi-permanent dye, which made it challenging to work with, but Al did not disappoint. I gave him some reference photos (first three pics) and he gave me EXACTLY that He told me he had to go with a slightly darker red because it’s impossible to lift all the residual dark brown dye from the ends of my hair, but I honestly can’t even notice and I’m so so happy with the end result. I also think it’s good for the hairdresser to know when to stop and communicate the expectations instead of recklessly trying to achieve some end goal and frying the hair in the process…which has happened to me before The process: he lightened/lifted the hair dye and some of my natural pigment without using bleach (the Chinese term for it is 褪色 which literally translates to “remove color” or “fade color”)(I also knew it wasn’t bleach because when he slathered that stuff in the roots my scalp didn’t feel tingly or itchy), and then washed it off, and then applied the red color. Since my hair was two-toned (grown out virgin hair at the root and color treated hair at the bottom), he used two different red colors to achieve an even dye. The whole process ended up taking close to four hours, but omg the result is AMAZING. Worth every minute and every penny. I never thought I could have such vibrant red hair without having to bleach it first! Look at the last two photos - no overhead light, backlit, and you can STILL TELL ITS RED!!!!! Price reference: the fading treatment + single all over color + haircut + 5% cash discount = $280 I will be back…again and again for sure! Edit: I went back to this salon a year ago and Ivan was the one in charge of the cut this time, and he did an even better job. I had tried to give myself at-home bangs which failed miserably, but he was able to blend the choppy bits seamlessly in with the rest of my hair and created this super chic face framing side-bang situation. I felt like I walked right out of a J-drama by the time he was done cutting and styling my hair!!!!! IVAN FOR THE WIN Al knew what he was doing for sure! I asked for lots of movement, lots of summery layers with face framing pieces and he gave me exactly that. Loved the hair cut

AI does an amazing job. He immediately knows the best way to style your hair based on your hair type. Super happy with the cut

I got my haircut with AL. He was amazing! He’s very patient and really listens to what kind of style you want. The result turned out great — exactly what I had in mind. Highly recommend hi
