Yi Fa Hair Salon - Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania

The wife and I both got good haircuts in a fast and friendly manner. Mine cost ten dollars and hers was twelve dollars. This is a no-frills experience, but the results were just as good as in expensive "studios"! Why pay more?

Needed a fade for my Asian hair and I got a very decent cut. Some slight communication difficulties, but this is expected. Go ahead and tip well because the price is honestly too cheap!

One thing, don't plan on going out right afterwards. No wash so you'll probably need a shower.

I have been coming to this hair salon since I was a little kid. Overall, the two hairdressers are nice people. They mainly speak another language (I don’t want to assume) and have a solid understanding of English. Bringing a picture of what you want done to your hair is recommended. The woman does a fairly good job of matching your desired hairstyle. However, do not let the guy cut your hair if you are female/someone with longer hair. He will give you a bob if you want a shorter hairstyle no matter what the picture looks like. This has happened to me 3 times so far. In recent years, it seems that they count the amount for the tip along with the price of your haircut, making it pricier.

I looked over the reviews and they have very good reviews people been going for 10 20 years so I said I'm going to give them a play when I come in the ladies looking at me not really saying much so when I went to her to exit about getting my haircut she said she does not cut black people's hair so I'm trying to ask her does anyone in the shop cut black people's hair I'm not sure if it was the languages but she said no no I just feel like being in a diverse area for so many years someone should learn how to cut black people's hair most of the Asian barber shops do

I’ve been going to this salon twice a year since I was a kid. Prices are unbeatable and even if the haircuts weren’t cheap I’d still come here. The salon is able to keep up with trends throughout the years— I’ve gone from a layered hairstyle in 2010s to a curtain bangs cut in 2020. Even though I live far away I always wait until I visit Philly to get my haircut because I can’t trust anyone else to cut my hair the way I want it. My women’s haircut costs around $15 excluding tip and it’s cheaper than men’s haircuts in other salons in the city. Men’s haircut here is around $10 excluding tip. They’re also able to keep up with men’s trends throughout the years including fades, crew cuts, whatever guys get

Absolutely love it here!! I’ve been getting my haircut and styled here for almost 20 years! They’re so nice, very fast, and reasonably priced! I won’t go anywhere else for a haircut! It’s $10 for a men’s haircut and $12 for women (sometimes it’s a few dollars more if you have longer/thicker hair) but those prices can’t be beat! They definitely get crowded because of how good they are, so just be patient or try to go there on off hours because they don’t do appointments. For women they may cut a little bit more than you ask for (like every other hair stylist) so I always say half an inch shorter than what I really want. It’s a no frills salon but you’ll be happy with the results.

Update: Everything the same for the comments below but their new prices are $10 a haircut for guys. Still a great value.

Come one and all if you need a haircut and you are around the Upper Darby area. First of all, the haircut are super super reasonably priced for a simple fade to a comb over the hair stylist can do them. They do not speak fluent English, so be understanding and bring pictures. My haircut is $8 and I give some extra dollars as a tip since their work so good and fairly quick.

It can get crowded easily on weekend, so try to go at different times and days to see what is convenient for you. The location is ok. It is a little old but the surrounding stores and shops are similar, so don't whine about the location.

Decent men's haircuts for unbeatable price of $10. Still way too low for the quality. I've been very satisfied with this barbershop. There was a while I went elsewhere, but now I'm happy to be back again! Still great! Every barber there is amazing.
