I can't recommend this salon enough! I got a digital perm and it turned out better than I imagined. I get compliments on my hair every single day, and people are constantly asking me where I had it done. The team is talented, professional, and very nice. I couldn't be happier with the results and I'll definitely be back. read more

Wonderful experience as always. I go the extra miles every time to fly in from another state just to get Yu Jin's hair cut and dye. They provide the best service and lovely process always making me feel so welcome. The vibes are great. I can't wait to come back next time. Thank you Yu Jin and Moon! read more

I've had such a consistently wonderful experience at Agency the Salon! I had my Keratin straight perm here last year for my graduation, and the results were fantastic. I've continued coming back for layered haircuts, and Yujin has consistently done an amazing job. She even remembers how I like my haircut and how I part my hair, which makes each appointment feel so personalized. She and her assistant are both very kind and have such gentle hands. I always leave feeling happy and completely satisfied with my hair. Highly recommend Agency the Salon! read more

I've been coming to Agency for a few years now; I've gotten many haircuts and a balayage. The salon itself is clean and modern, and they're always welcoming! Every time, I'm happy with the result and the experience. Even on busy days with overlapping clients, I never feel rushed or as though I'm getting a fraction of Yujin's attention. She's thorough and checks with me along the way to make sure I'm happy with lengths and shapes. That being said, I get pretty simple cuts and think the cost is on the expensive side, but it's worth it to know the quality and service I'll be receiving. read more

Very attentive to detail, and cares about what you want. Thank you for beautiful hair!

Requested a haircut. Was rushed. The cut is choppy, uneven. Overpaid for the poor service and lack of attention to detail. Please avoid this place. read more

Yujin is the best hairstylist in town. No doubt about it. I've been coming here for haircuts for the past three years, and I always leave with a smile on my face! Whenever I show her a reference photo of the style I want, she always makes it happen. She's very good at what she does. Don't hesitate, ask for Yujin! read more

awesome perm and good service, head massage is also optional, people are kind too. Vibe is chill.

Great consistent haircuts and amazing service; I've been coming here for as long as I can remember!

I recommend this salon! It was so clean and organized in there. I got a perm and it was a such a smooth process. They were professional and it was such a pleasant experience! read more

I have been coming to Yu Jin for 6 years. I even followed her over to Irvine from her previous location. I absolutely love my cut every single time. She knows exactly what is best for my hair type and face shape and lifestyle and lets me know what will work politely and professionally. The salon is always so welcoming and very clean. She even has expresso to offer. She and her staff are always so friendly and kind. I have even recommended friends who need cut and color to her and they have made her their permanent hair dresser as well. I always trust her and as long as she is still doing hair I will be coming to her. read more

Very friendly, polite, and incredibly skilled hair stylists. Accommodated to my vision for exactly what I was looking for and gave me their insight as well. They are highly detail oriented and made sure I was happy with every step of the process. I would highly recommend you try this place out! read more

Yujin has been cutting my hair for 3+ years now. I was very confident that she will be able to rescue my mom's hair. Her hair is very thin and breaks easily. But look at her hair now! It looks fuller and healthier. Thank you Yujin! read more

absolutely the worst haircut I've ever had. its choppy uneven and looks terrible. not only did I overpay but I was rushed in and out. then had to go somewhere else to fix it. NEVER again. please do not go here. read more

Amazing attention to detail! Always a perfect experience. I have been coming here for about a year for haircuts and I highly recommend Agency the Salon. read more

I read all the great reviews and went there with my child who needed to trim her ends as well. Well...I never had a 20 minute haircut before in my life, and that's including the wash and styling the hair. I showed the pictures of what I wanted, showed my pictures with that exact haircut from 5 years ago.... But instead of layers they just cut my hair short and straight when I asked for a pony tail length... I look awful, I feel awful and I paid $200 for that. Trimming my 5 year olds hair took longer than my hair cut. Also the attitude towards my child was a bit disappointing as well...I mentioned that it's her first time getting her hair done at the salon, so instead of accommodating her anxiety when she kept turning to me, they were just straightening her head to face the mirror... not sure why letting her face me instead was an issue... we walked out in 30 minutes both with tears in our eyes...walked around the lake nearby to calm down and agreed to just grow our hair back read more

Friendly staff, skilled stylists, fair pricing, and a very clean, welcoming environment.

Got my hair permed and turned out great! I showed YuJin a few inspo pictures and she understood the assignment immediately. She did a quick trim to refresh my layers and bangs then the Korean perm. It looks so good with the loose big curls, curtain bangs in place, and in like 3 hours! I told her I had to leave by 1pm and she had me out the door before 12:30. They also offered me coffee and tea, took my bag and jacket for me, and provided an overall quality experience. I always come back here! read more

Paul and Daniel was awesome. We had such a great and awesome time. Food was great. Very enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Nice haircut done very professionally !! In fact one of the best haircuts I ever had ! Haircuts seem to be more expensive here in Irvine as it cost me more than I paid when I was going to Huntington Beach! read more

This review is long overdue. I can't even remember how many times I've been to see Yujin for my hair. I have never walked out unhappy with the results, whether I'm going from long to medium to pixie! -- and the varying colors I've had done over the years. My son was with me last visit and got his haircut, too. He also has made Yujin his hair person now. Like mother like son. If you come here, you won't be disappointed. read more

Another long layered haircut that I'm absolutely happy with from the ladies at Agency the Salon! They do a great job every time and I was in-and-out of my appointment within 30 minutes again. I absolutely love coming here for my routine haircuts read more

Very nice service, Yujin let me know the best fit hair color that I want and had my hair cut done in great style and length that I like. clean and comfortable environment. Definitely will come back again Thank you Yujin read more

I booked here because I saw so many good Yelp reviews, and especially because so many people seemed to recommend Yujin. Based on that, decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, I deeply regret that decision. The only good part of the experience was that the staff were polite and friendly. The actual haircut, however, was extremely disappointing. It felt rushed, careless, and unfinished. The stylist finished in about 15 minutes, which already felt strange, and there was very little attention to detail. At the salon, my hair was blow-dried and styled, so I couldn't fully tell how bad the cut was. But once I washed it at home, I immediately realized how rough and poorly done it was. The haircut looks uneven and incomplete, and now I have to go to another salon and spend more money just to fix it. For $85 (and $110 total after tax and tip), I expected professionalism and skill. Instead, I left with a haircut that does not reflect that price at all. I would not recommend this place if you care about precision and detail. read more

Have been going to Yujin for 3 years now and she is always professional and consistent. Highly recommend her for haircuts.

Very friendly and detail oriented! I asked for a layer cut and peekaboo dyeand Yu was very quick and skilled with the haircut. I got exactly what I wanted ^^ read more

Amazing service by Yujin and her team! Had a great wash and haircut, left with amazing hair ^^

I've been to this salon for about 4 years now and every time I would leave satisfied! Yujin has always been consistent and very attentive. Her vibe is also very friendly and welcoming. I'll miss her haircuts since I'll be moving to Asia this year. For those that want to get that K-pop or k-drama style haircut you should consider giving this place a try! I've updated this review to include some new pictures. Make sure to make a reservation a few days before because her schedule has gotten very busy haha. read more

Yu Jin is very patient and professional. Really enjoyed the haircut here~~ the environment also very quiet and clean.

Best hair salon in Irvine. You will not regret it. One of the best experiences I've had at a hair salon and my mother has owned a hair salon for 25 years. So, you can count on this review. read more

This was my first time at Agency the Salon. I decided to give Agency the Salon a try because of the high numbers of five-star reviews. Yujin's warm welcome and flexible scheduling made my last-minute Saturday morning appointment a breeze. I arrived at 9:55 am. I had a haircut and colored my hair, all under 2 and a half hours. I was impressed but also surprised by her efficiency. Yujin obviously is an experienced hairdresser and she is fast. She was cutting other customer's hair while her assistants worked on coloring my hair. Yujin first cut off some length of my hair prior shampooing my hair which I thought was odd. She had an assistant who was doing the coloring and shampooing for her so I guess that made it possible for Yujin to double book appointments. During the time I was there, Yujin had one customer every half hour, 10 am, 10:30 am, 11 am, 11:30 am, and 12 pm. After my hair color was done by her assistant, Yujin finally officially worked on my haircut, at around 11:50 am. It was done by 12:10 pm. I asked to curl my hair and it looked beautiful. I agreed to write a review for the salon in exchange for a small discount, which I was gladly to do so. Yujin's service and her expertise showed a strong 4 -star rating. In conclusion, I was happy with how my hair turned out. I recommend Agency the Salon to anyone who is looking for a hair salon that delivers good and fast hair salon services with good pricing. Tips: Be sure to request not to be squeezed in between appointments because you'll be waiting and she'll be rushing. read more

Recommend by couple of my friends for man's hair cut. Yujin is definitely excellent stylist who listen, takes her time, knowledgeable and transparency with every details. She never hesitate to answer my questions with a big smile. Compare to my previous hair stylist who always seems to be in rush to help next customer. Unfortunately, some of you agree with me what I'm talking about. Lol Inside is always organized, clean and they welcoming you with friendly environment. I'm already recommend Yujin to my friends, families and they are super satisfied. Hopefully, she not going anywhere. As long as I'm in Irvine, she's the only hair stylist I trust. Just got another hair cut from her today. My side and back fades are just perfect. Thanks Yujin. read more

Yujin is awesome!! I've had the same haircut and digital perm for the past 8 yrs and was ready to try a new style. I did my research and found Yujin on yelp, but was nervous about the change. Yujin listened to my concerns, looked at pictures with me, and helped me determine the best look for my head/face shape. I am super happy with my cut, root perm, and setting perm. She even gave me a free serum! I will be coming back to see her again, and am feeling more adventurous to try new styles now, thanks to her. Thanks Yujin! read more
