    I can't say enough good things about my stylist Ragen! I am very particular about who I let do my hair and Ragen has done an excellent job every time. I went from platinum blonde to my natural color and Ragen has helped maintain the integrity of my hair, while keeping the cut stylish and edgy. She takes her time and is very meticulous about what products she uses as well as making sure my hair ends up exactly how I want it. I have sent several of my friends to her as well now and they all have been incredibly pleased with the results. She is very personable and you feel like you are seeing an old friend as the conversation just flows easily. I enjoy my trips to the salon and look forward to chatting with Ragen everytime.

    I've been going to Kylie for about a year for my blonde highlights. She knows how to mix a good blonde and she always uses toner. My yelp pic was actually from a day I had my hair done by her and I posted a pic on their yelp page as well. I'd totally love it if you could booze it up here like some of the other salons, but for me, safety for my blonde locks is most important. In Kylie I trust.

    After researching many salons for great lengths extension - I found "the guy" Some stylist just place them and send you to another stylist to cut and color. Who has the time, money and patience to coordinate that? Steve Irwin and his staff are professionals. He hit the color and the look right out the gate. He takes care of everything, prompt, professional and charming. I mean really- sit in a chair for over 3 hours- you have to like the person His prices are fair - the overall process is an investment - but I feel that the money is well earned. This last visit he gave me great balyage highlights and great cut. Recommend this place- great gem in Costa Mesa.

    I can't even begin to explain how happy I am with my new color! Thank you Shelly! I am definitely a returning Customer!

    Alright Yelpers! Here is the flat out truth.. I have found my go-to salon!! Every single employee there is so welcoming and nice! Their customer service rules! Love the design, so rustic! But most of all... whats important ladies... is the stylist and my hair outcome! My previous stylist was a doll, but she was a little too "out of style" and wasn't able to give me what I was looking for... poo! But then I stumbled upon this lil ole place and met a really sweet girl, Shelly! And I was a little hesitant at first, I mean come on, it is my hair!! And finding a new stylist is hard, you must build a trusting relationship with them. But regardless, Shelly made me feel at ease and I had her fix my do! And guess what?! She gave me not only what I had pictured, but more! I love my new color and style, more than I EVER have before! (UPLOADED PICTURE) I highly recommend going in and giving it a try! I love my new look! Ohhh and definitely recommend to give Shelly a call at the salon... you won't regret it!!!

    Love my new great lengths extensions!

    If you want extensions at a great price, that will not destroy your hair, this is the place ! Wonderful salon, great staff, and a huge product selection. They also do great hair color, especially blonde! (Hence the name blonder salon!) they offer multiple types of extensions too (individuals, tape ins etc) , based on your hair type and what look you're going for. I do the great lengths brand extensions. They don't tangle and look great even when my hair is up. I take good care of them though, so make sure you do a low side braid every night ! This keeps them from getting messy. They don't feel heavy or bulky either, and they are extremely high quality human hair. Thanks blondersalon !!!

I remember feeling extremely nervous the first time I lightened my hair, worried about potential damage. Thao guided me through the entire process and reassured me that she would keep my hair healthy while also making sure it remained low maintenance. Over the years, I've gone from dark to light and back to dark again. Each time, Thao has been incredibly professional and patient. I remember sending her numerous inspiration photos, and she was always honest about what was achievable with my hair. Without causing any damage, she successfully lightened my hair without it ever becoming brassy. Keep in mind when you go light, you have to get it toned and maintain your hair or it could potentially get brassy. Thao is very personable and always makes me feel welcomed and comfortable--like she's not just my hairstylist but also my therapist. I constantly get compliments on my cut and color, thanks to her. Whether it's your first time getting your hair done or you've been coloring it for years and need someone new you can trust, I highly recommend Thao! Hair Society recently relocated and is now at Tomahawk Salon, located at 775 West 17th St, Costa Mesa, CA 92627.

The last time was with hot stone. But what I didn't realize or notice was that as time went on, she just kept cutting my hair shorter and shorter until I had a rats tail. To be fair, I used to straighten my hair every day bc I thought it was ok. I'm also over 40 and I've had a child. So my hair is probably naturally thinning anyway. I called in October to make an appointment and was told that Asako is now retired and the deep conditioning treatment is more expensive. I asked what the difference is and Rei told me its just different. I couldn't get an appointment until about a month later. The vibe here is not warm and fuzzy and to be candid it never really was - I always felt the stress in the air. It's hard for me bc I'm pretty loyal and of course want to support my people but dude my hair is ruined. I had to cut my hair short which I haven't done in over 15 years. I've always been clear that I wanted to keep the length. I'm not sure what happened here but I feel disrespected. I always tipped 20%+ which is at least $40 for a hair cut and deep conditioning. Aruka/Asako you need to do better. I hope you take care of yourself.
