Kelsey is AMAZING. She does my hair and extensions and does an incredible job. Not only is she great at hair on a regular basis, but she made me feel like an absolute princess on my wedding day! She listened and ran with little direction and created the most beautiful style that I loved. Kelsey is a professional and is an expert at her craft! read more

I work next door to Beauty Heaven so I have known how friendly and beautiful the salon is since it opened. A couple months ago, I got eyelash extent ions by Beth. I was nervous about the application because I worried my real eyelashes would break off and I would be left with damaged eye lashes. Beth was very gentle and comforting and explained how the eyelashes would not harm my natural lashes. They looked great when I was done. I didn't have to worry about wearing mascara or eye make up and my eyes always looked bright and pretty at work or the gym. Waking up in the morning and knowing my eyes looked good was a great self esteem boost. They lasted about 6-8 weeks and my natural eyelashes are just as long and full as they were before I had the extentions. I received many compliments on them and no one knew they weren't mine. I was concerened with the result looking fake in a work enviornment so Beth used 10's on most of my lashes and 12's on the corners. I would absolutely reccommend them and Beth to anyone who has an event in the near future or who just desires beatiful lashes. The last couple weeks I have felt well, blah is the perfect way to describe it. After being a platinum blonde for four years my hair was fried, dry and covered in split ends. I decided to go back to my natural dark brown and give my hair a vacation. My natural hair color washes me out. My complexion looked dull and made me feel boring. I booked an appointment with Allison yesterday and had no idea what I wanted. I literally sat down and told her I had no ideas but I was feeling ugly and she could surprise me with the result. I told her I prefer thin highlights and how often I would be able to come in to maintain color. (About every 2 months) I have been to several high end hair salons and paid thousands of dollars over the years in order to achieve the right look. I have never had a hair dresser spend as much time and detail to a weave as Allison did. With a head full of foils I was extremely nervous about what my hair would look like. Since I hadn't given Allison a description of what I wanted I was crossing my fingers she made a good choice. Allison made a GREAT choice. My hair looks beautiful and feels healthy despite the bleach she put on my hair. In order for my hair to lighten, it took 3 1/2 hours of her time. Allison and Ann, (Owner of Beauty Heaven) stayed after the salon had closed chatting with me and keeping me entertained while we waited for the color to develop. It was like chatting with girlfriends and was really fun. After Allison applied toner and washed all the color out my hair looked amazing. It completely transformed my face and made my complexion glow. Beauty Heaven is extremely clean, the staff makes you feel great and the results make you feel beautiful. I would recommend Beauty Heaven and both Beth and Allison to anyone who is looking for a beauty boost. read more

I'm SO happy with my hair cut from Beauty Heaven! I normally get my hair done in LA, but was visiting my parents in the OC and was in dire need of a trim. I have long, layered hair, so it's kind of hard to get a bad haircut. Whenever I get it cut, I'm usually fairly pleased (at least im not upset and know that eventually my hair will be back to the way it was). But for the first time, i know what it's like to actually have a GREAT hair cut. Linda was my stylist and managed to make my normally blah hair look literally "salon-ready." My cut wasn't anything too different from how i normally do it (long layers), but for some reason, looked so fresh, clean and like i had "good hair". She was also very sweet and took the time to hear what i wanted. I assumed it was probably the styling products she used and figured after i showered my hair would be back to its blah self. But i was so surprised that even after my cut, my hair still looked so fresh. I definitely believe its because of the way it was cut... I even got comments from friends saying how nice my hair looks. I now officially have a hair stylist in the OC, and am so happy to have found Linda. FYI: The place is in the same shopping center as the Melting Pot, and there's also a Tapioca Express in the center, which has really good Almond Milk Tea. read more

Linda is the best! I love what she did to my hair! I was getting compliments all day. She is very talented stylist and I cannot wait to go back again. Thank you! read more

Finally found the perfect stylist : Linda I needed a whole different look to my hair. I've been salon hopping for almost two years now and I can finally say that I have settled down. Majority of the time when I get my hair done I usually get color and cut. And the color I choose tend to be more vibrant than others would go for. I showed Linda the hair style I wanted from a picture and described the color and style I would like and she made it happen. EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED (which is pretty rare)! She transformed my bleached out grown blonde hair back to brown with purple underneath the bottom inner half of my hair. It turned out great and also the purple is even on my hair (unlike other times I have gotten my hair dyed). Linda is very nice and Very sweet and I can safely say and I have finally settled down. She also does eye lash extensions and hair extensions as well as color & cut!!! Thank you Linda for an awesome experience & hope to see you soon for my next hair appt! read more

Probably the best hair salon I've ever been to, and I've been to plenty. I came in asking for a silverish purple/pink color and that's exactly what I left the place with. The service is amazing, and aldo made the experience so much more memorable . Going to be coming here from now on . read more

I used to go to Fantastic Sam's and I had it when I came out with a mullet like hair cut. These girls at Beauty Heaven were just amazing and talented. For once, it was nice to be asked what I wanted exactly and get what I ask for. If I ask for just an inch off the bottom I get an inch off the bottom. The place is small but I like it. The salon smells good and is well lit. It's heaven for my hair! read more

Christina Waterworth was wonderful! She did an excellent job on my hair. I had full highlights and a haircut. Christina did exactly what I requested. On top of that she is a generous and caring person. I enjoyed chatting with her. I highly recommend Christina. The staff was also very helpful. read more

As a photographer, I have worked with Christina to have her do hair and makeup for several of my photo shoots. She is always very professional, friendly, and has amazing skills. I have had her cut my hair as well and she has greatly improved my own personal appearance. read more

I got a cut from Aldo and I will tell you that he can cut hair. My hair is very difficult to cut due to the many cowlicks and he was able to do a great job. He asked what type of product(s) I use and made some suggestions. He also took his time to show me how to style my hair. Aldo can get down as good as any barber, don't underestimate this place as a male from the name. read more

I go an hair cut by Aldo. He understood exactly what I wanted, it looks perfect, and my husband told me it was the best haircut I got since he met me! Also everybody is nice and friendly there, really good place to go! read more

Aldo is very talented for both men and women styles and cuts , awesome attitude and great person with tons of talent and passion for getting what you want or if you want he is very creative and can help you get what you want. My relatives have started to plan trips from other parts of Socal to get their hair done by Aldo. read more

I've been having Aldo cut my hair off and on since 2007. Lately he is the only stylist I want to cut my hair. No one else comes even 50% close. I recommend Aldo to anyone who wants a truly great stylist. read more

I am writing this review on behalf of my fiance. She has been seeing Kelsey for a while now and she does a fantastic job. I would highly recommend her. read more

Aldo rocks! Great place and good people. Aldo does an amazing job and highly recommend.

I started coming here about a year now and I love this place! I have Linda as my stylist. She is great! I've always had a hard time finding a good hair salon/hair stylist. I've tried many different places but I couldn't find anyone to manage my thick long hair... until I met Linda. She takes time to listen to what kind of style I want and she always delivers. After I started getting my hair cut here, I've gotten so many compliments from people asking me where I get my hair done. I referred all my friends here and they all love it! Definitely recommend this place. read more

This place is awesome! The salon was clean and professional looking. The stylists were friendly. Aldo cut, colored and styled my hair - it looks amazing! I initially told him to "do whatever you want." My only stipulation was that I wanted something edgy yet low maintenance and he accomplished just that. He's a true artist. read more

Aldo is phenomenal! Can definitely cut a variety of hair textures and really listens to what you want, providing a realistic expectation of what can be achieved. read more

Kelsey is the best at color, hair extensions, lash extensions! Everything! If you go to her your won't be disappointed. Blondes can sometimes be tricky and she is by far the best! My blonde locks are always on point and in good hands with her!!! read more

I came to Aldo with my hair in the worst condition I don't even know how he brought it back to life. Aldo did an amazing job I will never go to anyone else. He spent 6 hours working on my hair! Thank you so much Aldo read more

My hair dying appointment with Kelsey was a wonderful experience. I've never had my hair dyed in a salon before but Kelsey and Krista made it a very easy transaction. Very helpful with questions. Definitely would recommend. read more

Aldo is the MAN!!!! If you need advice or opinions on what to do with your hair, hes the one you should ask. Been going to him for about 2 years now. Wont let anyone else touch my hair. read more

Tiffany is the best. She has been my hair stylist for over 6 months now. Not only is the fantastic but she has also become a good friend. She works hard and goes above and beyond. When I first went to Tiffany I had jet black hair... she took me to blonde in one session without frying off my hair! I'm so grateful! read more

I was referred to Aldo because of his expertise and quality product he uses. All I can say is - WOW - by far my best cut and color I've ever had. I showed him a picture I liked and he made it even better. He's quick too, won't keep you sitting there forever. Great experience and results! read more

Kelsey is amazing!! I recently had great lengths 18" extensions installed and they look amaaaazing! Prior to having the hair put in Kelsey colored my hair and magically matched the color to my extensions that it looks completely natural and I get compliments all the time. I've had the extensions in about a couple months now and they still look great which is saying a lot from me because I've had the micro beads installed before by a different salon and only lasted a month since they itched so bad. The installation only took a few hours because Kelsey gets it done pretty fast and even stylists that weren't working on my hair were very accommodating! Can't wait for my next visit, worth every penny read more

Have been going here for years, Kelsey is amazing. Hair is always on point. She also did my hair extensions that I loved! They do eyelash extensions as well. Very nice people, great environment. Highly recommend read more

Another great haircut from Aldo yesterday. He cuts my wife's, my daughter's and my son's hair and does a fantastic every time. Always accommodating and professional. Thank you again, see you in about 6 weeks. read more

Before I went to the salon, I e-mailed the stylist photos of the blonde highlights put in my hair in my hometown of San Francisco by Hugh McGuire (seriously the best at blondes ever!). My hair had since grown out leaving me with about four inches of my natural, dark ash blonde color. I also e-mailed links to celebrity photos of what I model my color after and what Hugh had always achieved for me. I was e-mailed back that she could definitely, no problem help me get what I want. I had asked if she had any before and after photos and she said sadly, she did not. Nevertheless, I went in a week later for the appointment. Again bringing photos, we discussed my color. She said she'd try four different blondes: baby blonde, ash blonde, dark blonde and honey blonde for dimension. After a painstakingly long time of wrapping my entire head in foils (which her assistant helped out with) I was put in a corner to let it sit. I sat for more than 45 minutes, at which point she decided I needed to cook for half an hour. Out of that process I came. The assistant was eerily quiet as she peeled the foils from my head and washed my hair. When I came up and saw myself in the mirror, I nearly cried. I had a monochromatic, completely brassy yellow! I kept quiet because I knew they still needed to tone me, which they did, but it didn't make it much better. It was an obviously bleached, super shiny yellow. NOT at all what I was looking for. My hair is naturally light, so I wondered how she could have messed up so easily with the brassiness. I e-mailed her the next day saying how unhappy I was. I wore a hat for three days until she could fit me in. Another three hour appointment fixed it only a little bit. Since it was yellow root to tip, I had her paint my roots a beigey dark blonde, which helped the whole look appear a little more natural. But the rest of it was still mostly yellow. I didn't accept her offer to bleach it further to try to get rid of the yellow. That would have just made it that OC housewives blonde I definitely didn't want. This was all after four months of avoiding getting my hair done since I'd moved from S.F. to OC. I had searched Yelp and Citysearch high and low for someone specializing in blondes. I'm definitely never going back there again. It was 7 hours of sitting in a chair having my hair over-processed while the stylist talked about being saved by Christ and how she prays for her friends who aren't. Creepy! All for just under $300. Nice. read more

I bought a Groupon to get a gel manicure and haircut at this salon. I love the fact that you can make appointments online, it was quick and easy and I felt confident in trying this place out. The location is in a nice little shopping center with lots of different shops and places to eat. My appointment was with Linda at 10am, but when I arrived there a few minutes before 10 the place was completely dark and empty. I was about to leave after waiting in my car for half an hour when she finally arrived and opened up shop. Linda was nice but since she was the only one in the shop she constantly had to stop and answer the phones in the middle of my haircut. I asked Linda to just trim off my split ends and a few long layers in the front. When she was done i couldn't tell at the time since my hair was wet but when I got home my hair consisted mostly of split ends still. She did a really good job on my nails although I was nervous the entire time because I realized there is a parking garage underneath the building so every now and then when a car drives by the whole place shakes and it feels like a very small earthquake. After she was done with my nails she seemed to want me to leave so I handed her a tip and she didn't reply or anything so I said thank you and walked out. I've looked at there regular prices and other services and for the price I highly doubt I will ever come back and if I do it would be for a gel manicure only. read more

Came here because I had a groupon. Loved the gel manicure and airbrushing Linda did. The salon was clean and everyone was very friendly. I will absolutely return without the groupon. read more

I started coming to AKA Salon after my favorite stylist (Aldo Pimentel) became a co-owner and moved there from an Aveda salon. I first found Aldo on Yelp, where he was SO highly reviewed for his cut and color expertise. I took the first available appointment that I could, and sure enough, he was most definitely a hair whisperer! He started evaluating my former cut and he was able to (politely) bring up the shotty layering job that was done previously. Not only that, but he was able to interpret my jumbled, confusing explanation of the look I was trying to correct it to, and restate everything in a way that was spot on with what I wanted. He corrected the bad layers and when he was done, I looked in the mirror and let out a huge *sigh*...it was amazing!!!! Since then, I have gone to him for more haircuts and two coloring jobs. Two weeks before my wedding, I decided I wanted to try ombre and he came up with a miracle way to color it so that my hair could be styled the day of and not show off the hair trend that would eventually come to look very dated in my photos. Most recently, I decided to go from brunette to blond. I'm half Asian and most often, hair stylists tuck their tails and say they'll "try", but then I always walk out with a slightly lighter brown shade that I feel like I just wasted a ton of money to get. Not with Aldo!! He took me to a glorious ashy ombre blond that has literally had heads turning. And he worked to the bones to get it exactly perfect. Also has been the first ever stylist that has looked at his work, told me he can make it better, and will get it to exactly perfect. With other hair stylists, it was usually the case that I'd hate what I'd see in the mirror, thank and tip them anyway, and then go home crying and start trying to find a stylist to correct it the next day. That is how I found Aldo, afterall! But with him, I know that will NEVER be the case...he knows what I'm thinking before I even have to say it and he jumps to get it exactly right. I would follow Aldo to any salon! So definitely come see him at Beauty Heaven! (I think they're going to change their name soon, but until then, they are at the shopping center on Dupont and Jamboree in Irvine). read more

Linda is an absolute gem! She is very detail oriented, will do whatever you want her to do. Show her a picture, describe what you want, and it will be done. Linda is very professional and will take her time to make you look the way you want. I've been coming to Linda for years and she is seriously an awesome stylist. I even have my husband come to Linda now. She styled my hair and my husbands for our wedding and I received compliments the whole night on my hair and how fabulous it looked. Linda is very talented with both men and women haircuts and styles. You will not be disappointed! read more

Thanks Aldo! Aldo took me today at the last minute when I needed to look my best. He knew I was stressed and gave me an awesome hair wash and head massage. He finished up with a soft blowout that looked super natural. I highly recommend him! read more
