Haircut and hair dye
Christine H.

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!

Amazing service! So happy with the results. The ladies were so friendly and made sure to stick to the photo I provided. Offered coffee and water, and were prompt with all service! 10/10.

Layered haircut with curtain bangs

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!

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.

Before and after.

The ladies that work at this location are so nice and funny! I go once in a while (I don't get my…read morenails done regularly), but I've been taking my mom here (and she goes regularly). The workers are so attentive to her. The girl that my mom really likes is named Jessie I think? There was one time when I got my nails done and I didn't request anyone specific and the girls kept switching on me. I think I went through like 3 different girls. So that was not the best time, but that was only one time that was kinda not great. They were really busy that day and I have had good experiences all the other times, so I'm choosing to review the place based on all the other experiences that I have had.

I called close to closing time to schedule an…read moreappointment for the following morning, and they were incredibly accommodating in finding me the earliest available time. I ended up arriving about 15 minutes before my scheduled appointment, and even before the salon officially opened, and they welcomed me right away. Michelle was fantastic! She was communicative, attentive, and gave me exactly what I wanted without any pressure or upselling. She took the time to understand my preferences and delivered beautiful results. For context, I'm very particular about my nails and used to drive 35 minutes to my previous salon because I struggled to find someone who met my standards. After my experience here, I can confidently say I've found my new go-to nail salon. Highly recommend Irvine Nails and Michelle--10/10 experience!

At first I didn't love the gap that made it look like my nails had grown out a little. BUT, it has a purpose and my nails last me over 6 weeks. I usually have to get them done because how much they grew out, never had any chipping or lifting. Lin knows how to shape my toenails just how I love them. If you prefer a gentle massage she's your gal. Cash only Parking is limited but next building over has parking. Not the Chinese food place.

While the price is affordable, I will not come back due to sanitary issues & incorrect methods they use. We made appts for 12 pm and my nails were not started until 12:45 pm. My nail tech (Michelle) was very nice and she does nails well, however, she used the nail grinder tool to clean my cuticles. My cuticles HURT for hours after my nails were done and weeks after the appt, I still have cut up cuticles and scabbing from the blood (pictures attached). I wish I had known in the moment that this method is not okay; it should have been a cuticle cutter. Once I got to my car and quickly googled that I found: Grinders are made for shaping hard artificial or natural nail surfaces, not living skin. Using a high-speed rotating bit on the delicate cuticle and the nail bed can easily cause painful skin tears, deep friction burns, and severe infections. These aren't correct practices used by this salon; they are taking the easy route to get it done quickly. Would not recommend. I would give them 1 star but Yelp removes those reviews easily so that's why I'm putting 2-stars.

I used to get long Gel-X acrylics, and Tammy was always my go-to nail tech because she's very detail-oriented and does an especially great job with shaping. Today (10/24/26) I got a polydip full set with gel polish and a cat-eye finish. I called a few hours ahead of time and was able to get an appointment at 5:00 p.m. without any issues. I chose the cat-eye color ZMM23 and absolutely loved how it turned out! I can definitely see myself getting this color again. My only disappointment was noticing shortly after leaving the salon that a noticeable amount of polish was missing from my index finger. Thankfully, it's not too noticeable at a glance, but I wish I had caught it before leaving. Aside from that, I always enjoy coming here. The salon is clean, the interior is modern, complimentary drinks are available, and the prices for nail services are great. One thing I've noticed is that the nail techs sometimes trim toenails a little shorter than I prefer, so I always make sure to mention that beforehand. I usually get a standard gel manicure with a simple polish color, and my nails consistently turn out pretty! Despite the occasional minor issue, I've had many positive experiences here over the years and would still recommend checking this salon out.
