This review had been LONGGGGG over due. I've been going to Crystal for my hair since 2015 and…read morehaven't looked back since. She seriously can do magic to your hair!! When I come in for an appointment, it's not even a conversation of what "color" I want. CRYSTAL JUST KNOWS. I've been coming to here long enough for her to understand my needs and wants!! I always HATE it when people try to upsell you on their products and always corner you into buying their products, but you can definitely not worry about that here. Crystal always gives you real tips and tricks and even suggest products that you can buy yourself to help maintain your hair. Not only that - she always always gives me notes on skincare/makeup as well. Ugh, I can't stress enough how amazing Crystal is!! Location: Her studio is located in a salon but it's upstairs apart from everyone else so there's privacy. The salon is located in old town Orange so sometime the parking area can get a little busy, but nonetheless there's always street parking and even parking across the street. If anyone is contemplating on booking an appointment with Crystal, just do it!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

Jessica did a colour correction and brought my hair back to normality. But honestly just saying she did a colour correction doesn't even begin to explain the lengths she went to fixing my hair. She worked her artistry and there was just so many steps involved. And she works quickly and efficiently as well. But the best part is that she's just so nice! This was my first appointment with her and I just know that she'll be my hair stylist for the future. She absolutely earned my respect and confidence. Oh, and her prices are extremely good!

I stopped seeing my last person in 2018 and after that only had a professional haircut once in 2021 by someone else before finding Jess in 2023 (I believe it was 2023). I went to Jess with the goal of growing my hair out for my wedding and WOW I wish I'd found her sooner because not only did she help me achieve growing out my hair, she also gave me beautiful highlights (which I was afraid to get at first) and NEVER got cut happy with me (meaning she never cut too much). I moved out of state before my wedding but was dedicated to Jess and the process we started, so when I had a couple of opportunities to go back to California, I made SURE to have an appointment booked with her. This is me telling you all that she is WORTH traveling for! Not only is she an amazing hair stylist, she's kind and a lot of fun to be around. I'm pretty introverted, but Jess made me feel very comfortable and got me socializing. I'm talking in the past tense, but I'll probably fly out to see her again at some point... Her quality of work is WORTH IT.

Are Melt and toner same thing…read more No -- a melt and a toner are not the same thing, though hairstylists sometimes use both in the same appointment and the terms can get mixed up. Toner: A toner is a product (usually a demi-permanent or semi-permanent color) that adjusts the tone of your hair after bleaching or lightening. It doesn't lift color; it simply shifts undertones -- for example, canceling yellow/orange or adding ash, silver, beige, or golden tones. It's what gives highlights that "finished" look (icy, creamy, beige, etc.). Melt (root melt, color melt, shadow root): A melt is a technique rather than a single product. The stylist blends a darker shade at the roots into lighter mid-lengths/ends so there's no harsh line between your natural color and highlights. It creates a soft gradient transition. A melt can use toner or permanent color to achieve the blend. So: Toner = product for tone correction. Melt = blending technique (often done with toner or color). Would you like me to break down which one is better for getting your highlights to look shiny white blonde? Which one results in shiny white blonde For shiny white blonde, the key player is the toner -- not the melt. Why: Toner: This is what actually neutralizes yellow or brassy tones left after bleaching. If you want a white, bright, glossy blonde, your stylist would use a violet- or blue-based toner (but not overly ashy, since you said you don't like dull/gray tones). The toner refines the shade to that crisp, light-reflective "white" look. Melt: A melt is more about the transition between root and highlights. It can make the grow-out look softer and more natural, but it doesn't on its own create a white shade. In fact, if the melt formula is too dark or warm, it can actually make the blonde appear duller or yellower. Bottom line: If your goal is shiny white blonde, you'll need the right toner after bleaching. A melt can still be done, but it should be carefully formulated so it doesn't muddy or darken the brightness you want in the blonde part. So for your highlights that turned yellowish after the melt: going back and asking for a corrective toner is the direct way to get them shiny white. Neutral or "gloss" toners These don't add much color -- they just refine and boost shine. Used after violet toners to keep the blonde bright and mirror-like instead of flat. How stylists choose Level of blonde: To get true white, your hair has to be lifted to a very pale yellow (the inside of a banana peel). If it's darker, toner can only soften it, not make it white. Your undertone preference: Since you don't want ashy/dull, they'll keep the toner violet-based but on the lighter, pearlier side instead of deep ash or gray. Finish: A gloss/shine top coat (clear demi color or gloss) can be added over toner to give that "glass-like" reflective shine. So, for shiny white blonde: Main toner: a pale violet/pearl blend to cancel yellow. Optional gloss: clear or neutral gloss to lock in shine. Avoid: overly dark root melts or heavy ash toners, which can dull the brightness. Why Melt Makes Your Hair Look Yellowish and Dark Warm base color in the melt: Most root melts use a darker, warmer shade to blend with your natural roots. If that color leans golden, caramel, or copper--even slightly--it can muddy your bright highlights. Product overlap: If the melt is applied too far down, it covers the lighter strands and dulls their shine. Porosity trap: Bleached hair grabs pigment fast. So even a subtle melt formula can deposit more color than intended, especially on porous ends. Toner gets overpowered: If the melt is done after toning, it can override the cool tones you just added. If it's done before, the toner may not fully correct the warmth introduced by the melt. Why Toner Alone Works for You Keeps highlights bright and crisp Neutralizes brassiness without adding depth Maintains that icy, shiny, white-blonde finish you love What You Might want to tell Your Stylist: You could say something like: "I've noticed that every time I get a melt, my highlights turn yellowish and lose their brightness. I prefer when we just tone--it keeps my blonde shiny and white. Can we skip the melt and add two colors, blonde and brown and focus on a cool-toned toner instead."

I've literally never had my hair dyed by anyone else. We all wish that someone could wave a magic wand and instantly give us Instagram ready hair. But because magic wands don't exist, there's Dani, who is basically nothing short of a magic wand waver herself. She takes a LOT of time to make sure everything is done just the way you like. You're left with a natural look that's blended perfectly. When my cut was done, I decided that I wanted it slightly shorter in the front than I initially said, and she happily took the time to shape it the way I wanted. If you want someone to work with you to really get what you're looking for and that really cares about making you feel your best, then come to Dani.

(I was early) My service was in the back building with Radiant glo skincare, by Rachel. The back building was equally as beautiful and Rachel was amazing. I was a bit nervous and worried about skin irritation, but Rachel took the time to explain everything and make the process as painless as possible. She explained the aftercare and mixed up some lotion/cream for me. I've already told a few people how happy I was with the service, Rachel, and the salon and spa. I'll definitely be coming back.
