Hair Art is A Leader You Can Trust
Jackie and Doris Yu, married and business partners for over
thirty years, have one of the fastest growing, highly respected
hair replacement company in Southern California.
As a teenager in Hong Kong, Jackie worked in a wig manufacturing
plant. He immigrated to Los Angles with his wife, Doris, in
1976 and worked in a hair replacement shop. In 1979, the Yus
opened their own small 400 square-foot shop on Sunset Boulevard.
Fast-forward several expansions and twenty-five years…
they opened shop in their current 3000 square-foot headquarters.
Though their business was doing well, the Yus felt the hairpiece
quality was inconsistent. So they solved the problem by spending
$200,000 to open their own manufacturing plant in Thailand
– a first in the hair systems industry.
According to Chris Webb, publisher and editor of The National
Hair Journal, an industry trade magazine, "…owning
their own factory is unheard of in this business. In addition
they have excelled at customer relations…"
More importantly, Jackie Yu is not just an owner of Hair Art,
he is also a customer. Today, Hair Art is regarded as a highly
respected leader in the hair replacement industry with over
3000 satisfied customers… and growing.
Real, untreated, superior quality human
hair is culled from vendors worldwide, which is what
sets Hair Art apart from the rest of the industry. Working
from a mold of the customer's scalp, workers hand-sew each
hairpiece. Realistic replacements are matched to a customer's
remaining hair. One hair at a time is sewn to a skin-like
membrane… a process that takes about seven days. "We
don't have a one size fits all mentality," says Jackie
Yu. "Every person's hair is a different color, a different
density, a different type."
Future plans include additional shops throughout California.
And additional services that go beyond hair systems - in the
West Hollywood salon, clients can now treat themselves to
an entire range of rejuvenating skin and body treatments.
While Hair Art’s presence is currently limited to the
Southern California area, we have clients who come from other
parts of California and as far as the East Coast, who have
made the choice to not let geography get in the way of getting
themselves the best hair systems in the industry.
