First time seeing Griselda today and I'll definitely be back! To start, the salon was nice, welcoming, and most importantly, clean! I'm immediately made comfortable by the great welcoming energy. I didn't feel rushed into describing what I wanted, even though it was just a trim, I felt like she really took her time getting to know me, my hair, and what I wanted. I'm so happy with my hair trim! I'm four months into growing out my buzz cut and she did an amazing job by reshaping and adding texture. Such a difference what a great hair cut can do, I feel and look great thanks to Griselda!! read more

Backcomb Bandit by Griselda - Hair Stylists Near Me - Orange , California

Full disclosure, this is a hair system guys! If I could give more than 5 stars I totally would. Griselda has been doing my hair for the past year and she has all the best traits a client can ask for: professional, personal, creative, intuitive, and the list can go on forever. When I first pitched the idea of what I wanted done when it was time to replace my old system I was worried the task wasn't possible but without hesitation Griselda reassured me that not only can it be done but it will be done. And voila she left me feeling and looking amazing. She nailed exactly what I was asking for and when me finally got the thing glued on and on my head both our eyes lit up! To the men out there that have been curious about hair systems and want to try it out, get with my girl Griselda I garuntee you won't be disappointed. Thanks so much Griselda! You never disappoint! read more

I absolutely love love love Griselda! I highly recommend her services. She has restyled, revitalized, and revived many wigs for me. My business would not be what it is without her. read more

Griselda made me a red head and I am beyond in love with it. She got my hair from a dyed black to ravishing red in one day and it was great conversing with her! Lovely lady! The process included stripping my hair color so that the red would be rich. We put the red on twice and it came out perfect. I was nervous that my hair would be super damaged, but it's totally the same just now a vibrant red! I love it! The whole process took almost 4 hours but Griselda was very accommodating and I enjoyed my time at the Salon. I definitely recommend her services if you want bomb hair. She is at Salon Cashmere, which is inside the Hilton. Valet and self parking are free (she will stamp your ticket). And she works by appointments only! :) happy hair days! read more

Backcomb Bandit by Griselda - Brunette to ravishing red!! Love it! Thanks Griselda! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Orange , California

This review is long overdue. I've been coming to Griselda for about 5 years. I only get my hair cut about once a year because I am so scared of messing it up, and don't have much faith in inexperienced hairstylists who may not know how to work with wigs or thinning hair. I'm not going to take chances with my appearance! But ever since I found Griselda, I don't ever have anything to worry about. She is the best of the best. She is so very talented and has her own unique style and way of cutting that I love. Griselda honestly can cut hair LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS. Write that down! Some stylists only know one hair cut which is the Peggy Bundy cut. Bouffant bangs, height pompadour in back and loose big curls all around. It seems every hairstylist wants to cut your hair like this. I hate that style! I hate my hair teased. I hate height. That doesn't work with my face! Like, ask before you start raising someone's hair to the sky! Griselda makes your hair feel full and healthy and you will leave feeling so pretty and confident. I love the way she chops up the back. You get healthy soft choppy layers, different lengths, style and movement! And she SLAYS the bangs!!! Come alive ya'll! Griselda also knows ALL kinds of cuts and knows EXACTLY what she is doing and which look you are trying to achieve. She knows and understands ALL types of hair. I have seen her work and waited while she has worked on other clients of all hair types and ethnicities. She does not discriminate or prefer one type of style or hair texture over another. I heard a client tell her, "Curl my hair, but make it look like I didn't try that hard." Griselda is an expert, very professional, helpful and makes you feel comfortable. I looked out the window and wondered if anyone could see inside because I did not want to just snatch my wig off! Without comment or flinching, Griselda quietly closed the blinds and did not make things awkward. I feel so confident after getting my hair and wig cut by Griselda, I can't wait to buy my next hairpiece and take it straight to Griselda for that unique flair that is second nature to her. Griselda cuts hair of all genders, styles, type, texture, and also works with extensions, hair pieces, wigs, thinning hair, color and accepts cash or credit. read more

I've known Griselda for a while and this is really the first time that I let her get a hold of my hair and I am so loving it! I needed a modern color and cut for my crazy curly unruly hair... And Griz did not disappoint. Ladies if you have curly hair you know how hard it is to find someone who knows how to work with it so if you're having any doubts and you have curly hair definitely hit up my girl Griselda she will hook you up and make you look fabulous. read more

Backcomb Bandit by Griselda - My hair was black and dull and had some horrible gray hairs starting to come through. I love how much life my hair has now - Hair Stylists Near Me - Orange , California

Griselda does a great job with hair and taking care of her customers. She worked with my schedule even if it was early or late. It was pricey but she gives you options depending on your price range. I had very short hair and wanted to add length, luckily Griselda was able to do it. My Co-workers had forgotten I had short hair and thought it was my natural hair. It fooled everyone, in a good way. My go to hair stylist for extensions is Griselda. I know I can trust her and her work skills. The location is inside the Hilton hotel under Salon Cashmere. There's some outside parking but if not, you got to park inside the structure. And make sure it's the Hilton parking structure, if you park in the opposite structure you can get a ticket or towed. read more

Backcomb Bandit by Griselda - Robin n her curls - Hair Stylists Near Me - Orange , California

Griselda was such a hidden gem to find in Costa Mesa! I, along with just about every other girl I know, am fiercely protective and critical when it comes to finding a new hair stylist. One wrong move and you may walk out of a Super Cuts wannabe looking worse than Chucky. Lucky for me, not only is Griselda within walking distance from where I live, but she also does a great job and truly takes her time making sure my hair looks like what I envisioned. I have been several times now and each time I get compliments on how my hair looks...that's the sign of a keeper! Griseld has definitely made a customer for life out of me. read more

You get what you pay for! That's for sure. I had a botched at-home permanent hair dye treatment over the weekend. The color was completely uneven and it was just a disaster. I immediately began searching for a hair stylist in the Costa Mesa area near my work. I was always hesitant trying a new stylist because in the past 5 years I never had any luck finding the right one for me. ALAS! I turned to Yelp for reviews and took a shot with Griselda who had awesome reviews here. I left her a message about my dilemma. She called me right back and immediately I felt at ease just speaking to her and somehow felt like she's really going to make it better. My instinct was spot on! I got to the salon and she really took the time to analyze what happened to my hair and worked her magic at creating the right formula to fix the color. I had her add highlights to my hair and she knew exactly what I wanted and she executed. On top of being an excellent stylist, she's also very flexible. I asked her to squeeze in a haircut for me since my hair is the typical flat asian hair with no volume/body. I sense so much confidence in her and sure enough she also cut my hair as what I had envisioned. I now LOOOVE my hair again! I'm so happy to finally have found a stylist near me that works wells with my hair needs and that is very personable, funny, and all around a fantastic person. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GRISELDA! :) read more

I just Love Griselda. I have been seeing her for over two years now and she is the one and only person I trust with my haircuts, hair-color, blowouts and updos. And the extra bonus is that I actually love the person she is and always leave our appointments with positive vibes read more

Griselda made my October 5th wedding day perfect. I had read other reviews and she sounded like the perfect stylist to use so I scheduled my wedding day makeup and hair without even talking with her. Yes, I was a little nervous as I was coming all the way from Texas for my destination wedding on Newport Beach. However, once she got started, my nerves were at ease as I could tell she was a seasoned professional that was knew exactly what needed to be done for making me look my best in our HD video and pictures. She exceeded all of my expectations and made me look more beautiful than I could have imagined. All of my friends and family members have made comments about how gorgeous I looked. I am so happy that I selected Griselda and would recommend her to anyone. read more

Backcomb Bandit by Griselda - My hair was perfectly done for my beach wedding. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Orange , California

I recently began coming to Griselda as I started wearing a hair system and founder her via yelp. She was very helpful even before our first appointment and made me feel as though I chose the right stylist even before my appointment. Griselda is incredibly knowledgable and talented! She is one of the few stylists who actually know how to care and cut hair systems as well as experienced with them. Many stylists say they do but have no idea. I previously visited someone who in comparison did not provide what I wanted. Griselda was able to fix this and make my hair look even better. She makes you feel very comfortable and again does an amazing job and helps you look your best! As a bonus, she is very responsive when making an appointment and truly cares about her clients. I look forward to coming back to her again and again in the coming years. If you are thinking about making an appointment with her, please do so and you will not regret it! read more

Awesome hair stylists! I was worried at first because I've never had my hair worked on by anyone that wasn't African American because other non African American stylists in the past haven't had enough knowledge about African American hair & seemed afraid to style etc. Griselda is super nice & knows what she is doing! She gave me the best cut & style I've ever had & she wasn't afraid to take out my weave that had been put in by another stylist. read more

Gris has been my hairstylist for the last 3 years. She has done an amazing job with my hair. She gives honest opinion if something will work or not work with your hair. Always gets my hair color and highlights just the way I want them. My hair is longer and healthier now that she's been my hairstylist. read more

I have been getting my hair cut by Griselda De Santos for the past 2 years. She is by far the most professional and detailed hair cutter/stylist I have ever given pleasure to cut my rather complex hair style. If you are looking for the goddess of shears...you found her! Her welcoming, warm, and bubbly personality just grows on you and goes to extraordinary lengths to have to hair vision come true! From cutting, color, up dos, special occasions...she does it all! You will not be disappointed! ! read more

I was skeptical about a non-Asian woman giving me my haircut, but as it turns out, she gave me the best cut I've ever had. Hands down. I've also gone to her for an updo and it turned out beautifully. she is extremely knowledgable not just about hair, but makeup and fashion. She's a triple threat! Thanks, Griselda! Now my sisters and I are ready to book her for our upcoming wedding festivities! read more

I have been following Griselda in 3 locations and I love her new place in Tustin. She is truly an artist. I have curly hair and it is hard to get someone who knows how to shape and work with curls. She does a great job at giving me style and giving me something that feels fun and different instead of blah. I always think I am walking away with the best haircut I have had. Not to mention she is easy to talk to and has a great sense of humor. I find that her prices are reasonable for her high skill level. If you want someone to do it right, go to Griselda! read more

I've had such a hard time with finding a reliable hairstylist and I thought I'd never find one I could really trust with my hair, that is until I met Griselda! She's so fun and welcoming and I can finally say I found a place I trust! I've been here about 4 times now and each time I've challenged her with crazy colors but always manages to deliver, haha. 5 stars for sure. read more

Perhaps I had high expectations, but when it comes to a very special day in your life like weddings I would have hoped to have had a better experience. Griselda offered me a discount for hair and make up for my wedding, but when it came down the trial I felt rushed and we didn't even get to "try" any other hair styles other than the first and only hair style she gave me. Discount or no discount, the quality and experience should be the same for everyone. I gave two stars since she apologized, but this was not a positive experience and I decided to work with someone else for my wedding hair and make up. read more
