Epris Korean Hair Studio

Since my usual stylist was all booked up (I've been getting digital perms at Koreana Salon for at least three years), I did some research on Yelp and saw all of the great reviews about Bora. I really liked how she offered so many different styles of perms, and decided to get a Medium Epris perm. It was almost a two month wait and I had never tried her before, but let me tell you it was so worth it!! I love my hair soo much!

When I got there, Bora asked me what I'd like, and I said I'd like the Medium Epris perm. She then asked me if I washed my hair in the morning or at night (which

I have been working with Bora for the past 4 years back when her shop was still at the old location. I still remember the 1st time visiting her when I showed her a picture saying how I wanted something similar but she told me my hair was too short for that (and yes now that I think back I had no idea what I was thinking haha).

Bora is a professional and she has confidence in her skills, and thru these past years she's been consistently giving me good advice and ending up with super satisfactory results. Whenever I wanted to change it up a little on the perm type/length/style/color she always

I've been trying to find even a decent and trustworthy place to get my hair done for a Korean style for some time during the COVID quarantine and I am happy to say that I have found the perfect place to get my hair done. Since then ive already gone 4 times or so. Perfect place to get your hair permed and cut with reasonable prices based on the very professional hair service. 10/10 would recommend and even recommended a few of my friends to go try the place out. Hope this helps anyone considering to come here as well as the owner.

Worst experience ever.
1. I said I just wanted to cut a little bit layer, but she gave me a big layer and it looks so messy.
2. I said I wanted to do perm for straight hair with only some big waves at the bottom, but she gave me the curls for most of the hair. And the curls are very small and ugly. And now my hair looks very damaged and messy.
3. The price is very unreasonable, I almost spent for $500-600 for messy and damaged hair. And I probably will spend money again to save my hair.

Never come back again.

Bora is so awesome, she changed up my whole style. It's been at least 4-5 visits by now and I'm super happy every time. Best hair stylist I've ever had for sure.

First time working with Bora and she absolutely did NOT disappoint! This was my first trip to any barber/salon since Covid hit so I was in dire need of a haircut. I opted to get a korean perm up top and then a down perm on the sides/back (total $210 + tip). Total process took about 2 hours from beginning to end.

Covid precautions: Bora enforces a number of strict guidelines so I felt extremely safe being in the salon. Customers must wear a mask at all times regardless of vaccination status. She also has you wait in your car and go in only when she texts you so that she is able to disinfect the

Excellent and excellent.
Today was my first visit, and also this is my first time I felt someone's craftmanship on my hair.
I got perm + haircut. I love my new hair how it turned out to be.
She is very nice and oriented.
Two thumbs up!

Positive: Professionalism
I love her hair cut, color and perm!
Service: Hair colouring

*COVID-19 Review*

I decided to book an appointment with Bora for the first time after my brother recommended this salon. After 5+ months without a haircut, I was willing to pay extra for a perm as well. I am definitely very satisfied with the results!

Thankfully the studio has taken all measures to accommodate for the pandemic. You wait outside in the parking lot until Bora texts you to come inside, and you have to sanitize and get your temperature checked. Masks are on the whole time, and Bora will make you wear a disposable face shield while cutting/treating your hair. Contactless payments

COVID Review

I've been going to Bora for years and have always loved her commitment to cleanliness and quality. Therefore, I knew that going to see her during shelter in place would be a great experience. Masks are required the whole time and only one client is allowed at a time. She texts the day before to confirm the appointment and asks clients to wait in the car until she texts that it is okay to come inside. Payment is also contactless if you'd like as she has Apple Pay.

Upon arriving and receiving my text, I received a temperature check and was guided inside to the salon chair

Wow! Absolutely amazing!

It's hard to find a place that does male perms well where I live, so I had to expand my research to the South Bay. I came across this page while scrolling through Yelp and saw the amazing reviews from previous male clients. I was looking for a volume/wave perm and I was glad to see that Bora had done many of these before and did exactly what I was looking for. I texted the number like what others recommended I do and booked 1.5 months in advance. Be warned, she is absolutely booked out on Fridays and Saturdays. I texted her in September for an appointment the first

I was very looking forward to my appt based on all those positive review
but unfortunately ，this is the worst hair perm to me
my hair got damaged&looks unhealthy

What more can I say that wasn't said here? Bora is amazing. I traveled far just to meet her. I set up an appointment a month and a half ago. I had to find a good Korean Perm. I could have settled with Hair Caffe it any other salon to perm my hair but no, I needed someone who does Korean Perm and I needed before and after pictures.

I texted her number (based on the tips above) and told her I needed a perm since my hair is thin. Having flat, straw like asian hair, I dreamed of that volume; that beautiful curls I always see on Instagram. In order to achieve what I really wanted (which was korean

Bora is a great stylist. She is one of the few hair stylist I've met that knows how to work with my naturally wavey hair. Her salon is very clean and has interesting decorations.

Price is fair but slightly on the higher side. Also pro tip, you should text the phone number to make an appointment. Otherwise it's really difficult to find time on her calendar.

Epris studio is the oasis and utmost destination for all your perfect hair dreams. Trust me, I've been going to this studio for the last 4 years, ever since it was at the old Sola Salon location till this new location. Growing up, I was told that "First skin, second hair and teeth, third figure/body type" make up your physical appearance. So finding a great hair stylist is really important! I'm so glad I find Bora, the owner of this studio. Totally by luck!

First of all, I love the interior decoration of her store. So chic and comfortable. You can hang out while waiting at

She's moved to a much larger salon! Parking is around the back (look for the green signs).

She still handles my hair well, her skills are amazing, and she's great at customer service, but ...base price is $75 now. Add tip to that and I think this store listing needs be upgraded to three dollar signs soon.

I've had great experience with Bora' hair styling service and wanted to share here as I am so happy to finally find an amazing hair stylist in Bay Area.

I recently had my hair permed and Bora did an incredible job. I have had about 10 washes after the perm now and the curls turned out to be so natural , so much volume and so shiny! This is the best perm I've ever had in about seven years. My hair looks almost like it is carefully curled with an iron freshly every morning. I am feeling incredibly happy. I did not set a high expectation as nowadays most perms just barely make your

I've tried getting a perm from a few salons in the area and Bora is definitely the best! I just got my perm done for the second time with Bora and both times had wonderful results. My hair is tricky cause I have SO MUCH of it and it's super thick but Bora knows what she is doing. She always gives me appropriate cuts before the perm (urgh there was one salon that I went to in the south bay area with good yelp reviews that gave me such an awful cut prior to the perm that I ended up looking like a lion afterwards) and selects the best type of curls that would work for my hair and my face

Bora was excellent. She was extremely kind and suggested a style that I've never had done before. I agreed and couldn't be happier! Highly recommend!

This review is as brand spanking fresh as my haircut today!

After weeks of deliberation on choosing a new salon, I decided to go to Epris and made my appointment via phone a week in advance quite easily. Finding the salon, however, not as much. Epris is located in a indoor salon mini plaza of sorts; the name reads Sola Salons on the outside. It is next to Pizza My Heart and Noah's. Inside, there are a lot of private rooms, each with their own stylist. Bora owns one of these stalls, which is on the left upon entry to the salon building. The room itself is small and quaint, painted a bright
