Sometimes it's difficult to get a good haircut as an Asian male! I'm not sure the name of the woman who did my haircut, but she was from Indonesia (or was it Malaysia...sorry bad memory here). She was super nice, very fast, didn't have to tell her too much detail and she was able to deliver what I wanted! The haircuts I believe are about $15 now? But recommend If you're looking for a good quick Asian haircut during these pandemic times. They also kept their masks on and worked around mine!
I don't know about you but I definitely badly needed to cut my shaggy hair at this

I travel 2 hours to Lin's Hair Studio once a year for the Japanese Hair Straightening. They are very friendly and knowledgeable there. I love the straightening treatment! They recently added nail stations for manicures and pedicures. Excellent treatment, great prices! I definitely recommend this place!!

I went to this one-stop for all your beauty needs and wasn't disappointed! No wait time, greeted with a smile, clean atmosphere and great hand massages! I received an amazing gel manicure by SHU-MA! She was so sweet, took her time, paid close attention to detail and had such a great technique! I'm so glad I stopped in today and will be back in a couple of weeks for a pedi and mani! Super convenient seeing as thought it's a few feet in walking distance from my apartment.

Got the Japanese straight hair perm for $300 and it did not work. Followed instructions to not tie or wash hair for 3 days. My hair is still wavy and poofy when dried. She also insisted to trim my hair but when I went to my hair stylist to get my hair colored, stylist said hair was not cut good with layers only in the back of head. Both ladies were really nice hence two stars. Would not recommend the straight hair perm!

The salon was quite filthy. Recently cut hair on both stations and wasn't swept up prior to asking me to sit down. I showed her a photo of the color I wanted of a client she recently did (medium brown all over color). She tells me "yes, no problem". I left with dark chocolate brown. Charged me $80. I told her I was unsatisfied because the color is completely different. She ignored my complaint and said "I only charged you $80, it looks the same". Uhhhh no!

Ranky is back and mans this place on the weekdays and at the Squirrel Hill location on weekends. I am thankful to be able to get a decent hair cut that for the most part, is consistent and near Lotus Food oriental mart. Schedules always are subjext to change so I call ahead!
Parking is somewhat tricky here but I usually am able to find a spot within a few blocks. They close earlier here and it is a advisable that you call ahead prior to your visit. A few times, I showed up without calling and could not get a haircut. Now you know and like GI JOE, knowing is half the battle.

These reviews have been misguiding. This is an excellent place for Asian male haircuts! I've been going to Min's Jazzcuts in Oakland because they have better reviews, but I'm going to start coming here. I've avoided this place for several months now because of the 3 stars, but being that it was Sunday and everything is closed, I had no choice but to go here. I was pleasantly surprised. I was greeted by Cheng who was very receptive, accommodating, and knowledgeable. She took great care in cutting my hair. I judge my haircuts by how good they are on their edge ups, and she took

Update. It is spring at Lin's Hair Studio and the salon no longer smells of smoke. It is a Monday afternoon and they are actually open.
It's still best to make an appointment because only the owner Ms. Lin is cutting hair alone.
I got about 4 inches trimmed off. Took 30 minutes. The cut was $30 before the tip.
Also, Ms. Lin refers to Ms. Chen as 陈师傅. Ms. Chen still only works on weekends.

I've only been here once, but I hope to come here again in the future. Only place in Pittsburgh that I've found so far that can cater adequately to Asian hair (yes, males included), probably because this is the only Chinese hair salon that I know of here. It's not exactly cheap--17 for a haircut without wash, 20 with (for men).
I went on a Sunday afternoon, and the wait was pretty long. There were several people ahead of me, although I can't say if this is the norm after only one visit. At the time there were two barbers, one who speaks Cantonese (sounds like HK, although I

My mom received a fantastic haircut here back when they were more recently opened from someone here, and I couldn't wait to go back for mine.
Well 3 months after that the woman who gave my mom her haircut left, and I got a haircut with no shape or body when I specifically picked one out from a picture - looked nothing like it. Chalked it up to a fluke, went back again a year or so later, and she ruined an amazing haircut I got in China a few months before that really just needed a little maintenance. It was then that I found out the stylist my mom had simply came from NY to lend a helping

I wavered between giving 3 and 4 stars for this place. Lin's cater to people with Asian hair and they did a good job of cutting my hair both times that I went. I like the haircut both times, but the second time that I went I felt like the stylist hurried so that she could take care of the next person in line. I wanted to blow-dry my own bangs because the woman who did it made it look sort of weird.
In short, a mixed experience but the price is decent (about $25).
(to whoever reads this, Lin's Studio's number is actually 412 281 0989)
