    Isabel is my hair angel !! So I decided to get my hair done and it went all my bad. My wedding is in October and after the initial panic and crying I got a recommendation from a friend for her . A little traumatized from my previous hair experience I reluctantly went to see her . Mannn was I blown away she totally fixed my hair from disaster to fabulous! She's super sweet and helpful , she answered all my questions and she explained what she was doing throughly to me while she was doing it . I am forever in her debt!

    Hanh is the best!…read more Made an appointment after learning that she's specialized in butterfly haircuts and wow she did not disappoint. She was very thorough during the consultation to make sure I understand what she is about to do and that I also get what I came in for. My original hair was highlighted (super bleached/ashy) and had a bad layered cut (turns out I had a mullet I wasn't aware of lol). I wanted to return to my natural color and also get a cut to even out my layers. Within two hours, Hanh achieved the color and cut seamlessly through proper and detailed steps to repair my damaged hair. My experience with her was fantastic. She is so bubbly and fun to talk to and she is an expert in her field. I have never learned so much about hair ever in my life! Even for styling, she gave so many tips. Hanh, you should consider teaching if you ever plan to! Overall, I am a happy customer that left with beautiful voluminous hair. Will be back for a maintenance cut and a fun girly chat!

    THE BEST If I could…read moregive her 10 stars, I absolutely would. I literally just got my haircut and had to write this review before even leaving, she's that good. I'll admit, I was pretty nervous going in since I hadn't had a haircut in years. My hair is straight, flat, and typically hard to style, and I was hoping to add some volume and soft curls but wasn't sure what would actually work. Hanh immediately put me at ease with her warm, funny, and welcoming personality. She's genuinely so kind. During the consultation, she really took the time to understand what I wanted and helped refine my ideas into something even better. I walked away feeling confident and excited instead of anxious. I showed her a few inspiration photos, and she didn't just match them--she completely exceeded them. She absolutely nailed the look, even better than I imagined. I rarely write reviews, but this experience truly deserved one. I'll definitely be coming back to her again!

    I was really hoping to become "Hello Gorgeous," but apparently I'm stuck at "Hello... Anyone?"…read more As a new client, I called three times over the course of a week and a half and left messages each time. I figured maybe the first one got lost in the beauty ether, the second one was during peak glam hours, and the third one... well... surely someone would call back. Alas, the phone remains silent. At this point I can only assume one of the following: They are so good that their clients never leave and therefore the phone is purely decorative. My messages were intercepted by a rival salon trying to keep me from achieving my full gorgeous potential. The title "Hello Gorgeous" is aspirational and I simply didn't qualify. Sadly, without a callback I will never know what my true level of gorgeousness could have been. If anyone from the salon happens to read this, I'm still here... patiently waiting... aging slightly... and continuing my journey toward mediocrity instead of gorgeous.

    Great salon!!! Was my first time here and made an appointment with Diane N, she really takes pride…read morein her work, and it shows. She did not rush at all, made sure I was happy and checked in with me often. I absolutely love my hair, got a balayage and it's not streaky at all, exactly what I had asked for. She took time to understand, gave me recommendations, and made my vision reality. They also have a cute coffee bar and TONS of awesome plants all around. Very great experience start to finish.

    ONT NOT GO TO Celine for tape\-in or weft extensions…read more I originally went to her to have my tape-in extensions removed and replaced with wefts. After removing the tapes, there was still a significant amount of adhesive left in my hair. My hair was VERY sticky, yet she was prepared to install brand-new weft extensions on top of it. I was extremely uncomfortable with that and ended up going to another salon that same day to have the remaining adhesive professionally removed. For anyone struggling with tape residue, I highly recommend Line One removal solution. The other salon was able to get everything out in one round. There were also major communication issues with the weft installation. During our consultation, we had discussed how the extensions would be installed, but when it came time to actually do them, she was planning to install them differently because there wasn't enough hair for what we had originally discussed. Instead of stopping and telling me, "We don't have enough hair to do what we planned, so here are our options," she simply started working around the issue. I only realized what was happening because I looked and asked. A stylist should communicate a change like that and get the client's approval before proceeding. The biggest issue was that she cut the extensions far too short!!!! Once extension hair is cut, you obviously cannot put the length back. She acknowledged that she had made a mistake but maintained that it was "fixable" and was unwilling to replace the pack of hair. In my case, it was not fixable--I ultimately had to purchase another pack because the top row had been cut too short. Any experienced stylist knows the top row of extension hair is longer than the bottom row and she cut the top row way too short. Between the adhesive being left in my hair, the attempted change to the installation without discussing it with me first, and the extensions being cut too short, I unfortunately would not trust her with my extensions again. She didn't do the right thing of replacing the pack of hair when she admits it was her fault and it was a mistake, but it could be "fixable" but in the long run that would not have worked because the hair gets cut shorter each time. She said that's not a worry for right now. Umm you don't buy extensions for right now. You buy them for a year long.. She's not thinking what's best for the client or long term. Ladies go to another stylist because this one doesn't do the right thing!!!

The scheduling process was easy as I booked an appointment with her via text. When I arrived Helen cleaned my hair and then got straight to giving me layers. During the service, Helen and I had great conversations as she is personable and hilarious. She has a great vibe that allows you to be comfortable right away. She definitely builds rapport with her clients very easily. After she was finished with my two block, we went straight to the chemical perm. The results came out great and she did phenomenal making it look natural. I went back to her a few more times before I ended up moving out of the IE. Overall, I had such a great experience with Helen and recommend her to anyone. I've included some photos of the different styles I did with the perm below.

From the get-go, Helen was honest and told me what works best for my type of hair and the results are ALWAYS amazing! Another plus is that I don't have to drive all the way to fullerton/buena park area and the location is close to home.

    Oh the way I could go on and on on how amazing Kai is. I first initially reached out last November…read moreafter getting my hair completely fried by a different stylist, not even receiving the service that I requested. During the consultation through yelp, I loved the care and genuineness Kai showed; you could tell she really cared about not only your needs, but what is best for your current hair. Ever since that first appointment we instantly clicked and I have not gone anywhere else. Her vibe and energy are so calming and positive, and so is her suite. You will never have a boring time with Kai and she will only leave your hair flawless and well taken care off. She has always gone beyond and above when providing services and makes sure that you walk away more than happy. Even though she is a bit far from me, the trip is worth it every single time. I have some pictures attached of the amazing hair journey we went through and I couldn't be happier. Kai is a gem and I would recommend booking with her if you are looking not only for a hair stylist who cares about your hair and it's needs, but if you also wanna just have great vibes throughout your whole appointment.

    Kai consistently provides exceptional hair care, which is why I always return to her for my hair…read moreneeds. Her expertise is unmatched, and I will not allow anyone else to touch my hair. I highly recommend Kai.
