    I have been coming to this salon for about six/seven years. & always going to my number one hair stylist, Kristen. She's the reason why this place is doing well.

    I don't see myself going anywhere else, well if Kristen goes I will follow. She understands what the customer wants but puts in her knowledge on hair as well. So it works out swell. My sister, brother in law, niece, & nephew also go to her so I think she's doing a good job. Mhm.

    The salon is well kept up and welcoming. It's pretty tiny but don't fret it's never ever crowded. If you catch yourself waiting though you'll be able to watch some
    Tv on a flat screen or read some decent magazines. Wait it out, it's worth getting the hair cut you want at a decent price.

    I've been here twice, because their prices are decent. I've never had to wait, so that's a huge plus. I only come for a trim and to remove all my split ends, I asked about their styling and color prices and it was a bit steep. Maybe when I feel like splurging I will come back for the color. One thing I noticed which is totally off topic, they have a huge vase/fish bowl without a filter. Just a plant with 4-5 huge Goldfish. Looks like they're gasping for air, they always go to the surface and I have never ever seen goldfish do that! Gotta knock off one star!

    I've admit to been very vain for the past 6 mths since I've been religiously saving my hair for the Kim Kardashian look until lately I've noticed alot of split ends; time to get a trim!

    Came to this place after the recommendation of a friend. Lily was on vacation, so Anna did my haircut. She is very experienced and quick with her scissors. For $16, it was a great deal! Although it was a bit shorter than I had wanted.

    Solid.

    Debating between 2 or 3.

    I made a same day appointment on a Saturday. I underestimated how long it would get there, so I got there about 10 minutes late.

    Lily was really nice, not too talkative, but listened to what I wanted. Granted, I really didn't know what I wanted and what I described was very vague. But she did the best she could to accomodate to what I asked for.

    The salon isn't tidy at all. There's stuff everywhere, very unorganized. The station I sat down at to wash my hair still had other stuff in it from another hair dye appointment... kinda gross. The lady tried to wash my hair with cold water until I told her to turn up the heat.

    I feel Lily knows what she's doing. She cut my hair evenly. She also made many comments about how dry my hair is. It's been permed. On top of that, it looked even more dry because she comed through it and blew dried it, so it looked even worse... fluffy.

    She also kept spraying stuff and I guess it was still to unmanagable for her. She went somewhere to get another type of product and put it in my hair. It smelled like drugstore lotion. After she applied it, my hair was a little greasier. I asked her what she put in it, and she said 'super moisturizer,' which leads me to believe that she DID put lotion in my hair. If it was a hair product I'm sure she would have tried to sell it to me.

    Don't know if I would come back.

    I get my hair done here all the time and it always comes out better than I would have expected.  I always have Lilly cut and color my hair and she always knows what I want without me having to say much.  

    My son also gets his hair cut here by Kristine and she also does a wonderful job and is great with kids.  

    I'd definitely recommend this place.

    I was visiting from out of town and looked up Lam's on yelp.  I wanted to get an eyelash perm and saw that Lam's only charged $30!!  It's hard to find a price like that in the Bay area.  In addition to the eyelash perm I also got a scalp treament and a haircut.  I may have had Lily.  She had short hair whereas all the other ladies had med. long to long hair.  

    Eyelash perm:
    It's been a few days and the eyelash perm is so-so.  The ones I pay $60 for usually give really good results where the lashes are curly even after I wash my face.  My left lashes are slightly curled but the right side is stick straight again.  However, when I curled them over the weekend and applied mascara the lashes held better than without the perm.  That is why I'm not completely disappointed, especially for the price.  

    Scalp treament:
    For $12, this was nice.  She shampoo'd my hair and applied this oil treatment that tingled on my scalp for about 10 mins.  I love shampoos so this was a nice treat.  I also ended up buying the products she used to help with the itchy scalp.  So far, so good.  

    Haircut/trim:
    This was an impulse trim, nothing fancy.  I was happy after she styled it which was straightening it.  I had curly, permed hair so it was nice seeing my hair straight and shiny.  

    Overall, a good experience for my first time at the salon let alone my first time in the area.

    After reading a bunch of raving reviews on Lily, I decided to give this place a try.  Lily is a very sweet lady who didn't try too hard to make conversation.  She shampooed my hair and cut my hair as I had vaguely described.  I felt the layers were a little TOO much, but I also didn't give a very detailed description of how I'd like my hair.  At the end, she charged me $30 for the haircut.  I felt I left with a fair haircut at a fair price.  I would give it another try, next time with a picture!

    I've been going to Lam's since they had their business on Valley blvd. I may be biased because of all the years. I'm a male and usually get the same cut, nothing too fancy. The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is because $12 for a fade seems a bit pricey. However, they're extremely nice and I have a great relationship with almost all the workers there.

    I love Lam's Beauty Salon, it's like my second home!  I get my hair color, highlighted, treated, and trim every six weeks.  The girls there do a wonderful job. I'm always getting compliments on how great my hair looks thanks to them.  Plus, I can't forget my weekly eyebrow waxing, can't trust anyone else with my eyebrows.  

    I highly recommend Lam's, if you are looking for a one-stop salon for all your beauty needs.

    Misleading advertisements. Outside the store it says hair cuts are $10 up but inside the board says $12 up. Therefore there are no $10 haircuts here. They do a great job but you won't know the price until the end. They should stop advertising it as $10+

    First off, I will say this, maybe I just got a bad stylist.  I liked the lady sitting next to me's hair very much and her stylist seemed much more competent that mine.  

    I told my stylist I wanted a trim and she cut like 3 inches off my hair, I dont consider that a trim.  Not only that, but she did it so quick and didn't even spray it down I really don't think she cared at all how it looked.  

    That wasn't the worst part though, I came to get my eyebrows threaded too and that was the horrible part.  The room they took me to in the back was honestly pretty gross and I am not a neat freak or a germ-a-phobe.  The table was still wet from I'm assuming whoever went before me lying down on it with wet hair.  The lady put a thin towel over the wet towel (why not just take the wet towel off???) I was honestly feeling disgusting as I felt the wetness seeping through the towel on me.  

    My eyebrows looked alright, but the lady took forever to do it unlike the ladies I usually go to at Shear Artistry in Diamond Bar.  Also, she said she couldn't thread it all because it was "impossible" to thread the part between your brows cuz you cant turn your hand that way.  Well, maybe impossible for her, but I know this is not an impossible feat, as they all can do it at Shear Artistry.  I really prefer not to get waxed because I have sensitive skin on my face and told her this and she was just like, "oh, no, its ok" and did just it anyways.  

    |'m a pretty cheap person and was looking for a cheap haircut, but I guess I got what I paid for in that regard.  For the threading, I only did it there since I was already there for my hair, since its only like $1 or $2 more expensive at Shear Artistry its worth it to stick with the pros.

    Okay, this is just an update on how insanely wonderful Lam's is.  I've gone back probably about 3 times since (yeah, I don't get my hair cut too often) and have been happy each and every time.  I also got about 5 of my friends to try out Lam's.  They have all loved the results and have started regularly going there to get their hair done.  With fierce, but-not-quite-cult-like loyalty, on behalf of myself and my 5 converts, we thank you Lam's!

    They gave my bf's usually nice textured hair style into a marine box cut that he could of done himself at home for free.  When he came over to my house, he looked like he just got drafted into the military.  He is never gonna go back again.  Also for $10 to just get a cut with all buzzer, you can get it for $5 in any barber shop in Monterey Park.  The result?  It will look the same....a box!!!!
