Polan does an amazing job at shaping, layering trimming, and thinning my thick frizzy hair! I felt embarrassed at first because I know how much of a challenge my hair can be but he was very professional, didn't judge and most importantly made me feel beautiful after he was finished. Every time I had questions, he would always answer them with confidence which gained my trust. He's absolutely my go-to hairstylist especially when I need him to fix a mistake that a previous hairstylist made on my hair. Even when I try to find someone near my area, no one competes with Polan so I always carpool with my boyfriend whenever he gets his monthly cuts with him haha

I highly recommend Polland.. I am VERY happy with my hair cut. I downloaded a photo of hair from Google. He quickly cut the same hairstyle as in the photo. I have never been so satisfied. Polland is a master in hair styling.

Before I start, allow me to apologize for such a long review. I appreciate all the readers. I have lots of respect for hair stylists. I mean why not right? After all, they are the ones who make us look good and boost our confidence level. I have seen many hair stylists who are both creative, hard working, and most importantly respectful to their customers. Because I have lots of respect for them, I don't usually talk to hair stylists as a "customer" but rather a "friend" or an "observer" of art who is there to appreciate their artistic skills. With that being said, let me start the story. I have been going to Uki Hair Studio for the past 3 years. In the beginning, it was Tri who took care of me most of the time. Since the pandemic hit, Tri decided to work somewhere else (according to Polland), and I then started to let Polland take care of my hair. I usually get a perm and a cut. During my visits, Polland and I would chat about all sorts of current events as well as life. It was fun and all until Polland made me feel disrespected a couple of times when I tried to schedule an appointment with him on LINE. I usually schedule my appointment on LINE instead of calling because I understand that hair stylists can get busy, and calling might distract them from doing their work. I even asked Polland if he would prefer that I call to make an appointment or just simply LINE him, and he said whichever way works. As I mentioned earlier, Polland made me feel disrespected a couple of times, but the very last time I tried to schedule an appointment with him, that was my last straw. It ended with me no longer wish to give my business to Uki Hair Studio. I first messaged him to see how he's doing and asked him how's the business. The message was not read at all. 3 hours later, I then said I'd like to schedule an appointment with you for cut and perm. Then all of a sudden my messages were read by him. Even then, I got no response at all. Finally, after a whole day of not receiving any response, I then asked if it would be convenient to come in during such day/time. Without apologizing or anything, Polland responded with two simple messages, "yes" and "see you". I thought that was quite rude and impolite. Now don't get me wrong, like I said earlier I understand things can get busy for hair stylists, which is why I use LINE instead of calling so that they can get back to me when they're free. I must also mention those three messages that I sent were hours apart. In short, as much as I respect hair stylists and all, I do care about their business etiquette. Polland could have responded me with a greeting first since I first greeted him in my messages, and at least apologize for not responding to my request to schedule an appointment for the whole day. If I show you politeness and respect, I do ask that you do the same. Polland is an average hair stylist (Opinions on beauty can be both objective and subjective, I know that). He is good, but not wow to the point that he can make the people who take care of his local business feel utterly disrespected. Let me put it this way, every time I try to make an appointment, it was like I'm asking him for a huge favor or something, and it really shouldn't be that way. Anyway, thank you for reading my review. As for Polland, if you are reading this, I hope you would reflect on it. Take care.

I called for a same day appointment because I was really wanting to get my bangs cut to change up my hairstyle that I was getting tired of. Polland was considerate to squeeze me in. He is an artist. When he styles your hair it feels very relaxing. He listens to what you want and he cuts your hair with precision. Please support local small businesses.

So, my sister in law has been coming to UKI hair studio for years (10+). She's been recommending for me to come here for a long minute and I haven't because I didn't see many reviews or photos on Yelp. Due to COVID, I couldn't go to my regular stylist because by the time COVID happened my stylist was on maternity leave and so many places were closed. So, once the state allowed hair salons to open up again I decided to check out UKI. Polland the owner was the first male I ever let cut my hair. So, I was quite nervous. But when you haven't had a hair cut in 8 months and need one badly you are willing to try anything right? I called and made an appointment for a same day appointment. Upon entering he took my temperature and gave me sanitizer. We both wore our mask the whole time. Polland was there by himself. He locked the door as well so no one can walk in. I felt super safe and I wished describe to you how good the hair wash was. There's no words to describe how good it felt. I loved the shampoo and conditioner he used as well. They smelled so good! I have never had a stylist that cut my hair like him before. His technique was definitely different from my previous experiences. I have side bangs and usually 90% of the stylist I go to even ones that I often return to messes up on my bangs. It's usually too short or just looks terrible and I walk out feeling miserable. I would clip my bangs to the side until they grow. The way he trimmed it was also much different from others and I was like okay, it looks good now but I knew that once I washed my hair on my own and style it, it'll look terrible. I actually walked off thinking man the bangs look super chopping and weird (only when you comb it down) but strangely enough once you put it to the side it looked really good. I was super surprised! So, all in all what I am trying to say is Polland is awesome and just trust his skills. I definitely will be coming back to him! 2 thumbs up from this Yelper! Tips: *Street parking available *Credit Card accepted *They sell hair products *No walk ins (during covid)

What a disappointment! Was referred by someone while visiting the area. I think their name was Ty or Tri. Rude and condescending. Not what I expected at all!

This review is long overdue. Due to COVID-19 affecting tons of small business, I have a strong urge to support small business that I have used in the past by writing an authentic review. Polland is a master in hair styling. I was looking for a change in hairstyle back in 2015, (Yes I have been here for the past 5 years!) He recommended perming and coloring my hair. I was very skeptical at first as I have never permed my hair ever before as a guy. I may not have the technical knowledge to describe the process but the result was beyond satisfaction. Their salon is very clean and their restroom is sparkling clean as well! I highly recommend Polland and his team.

Disappointing, nasty place with "too bad, so sad" attitude. Inexpensive must equal cheap haircut. Not ok.

I've been coming here for 4 years and everyone has been simply amazing. I have gotten my hair cut by all staff members and each one has their own unique style and yet I have never walked away thinking that one is better than the other. The consistency and professionalism is the reason why I return.
