I'm terrible at keeping up with frequent touch-ups (oops) but thanks to Faith my blonde is so low-maintenance. I love how it turned out. She uses great products too. You can truly tell she truly loves her craft and stays dedicated to learning and growing in the hair industry. The Lotus Salon itself was very pretty and modern! Parking is just around the corner (like 5 steps) from the salon and everyone was really nice. I'll definitely be back. Thank you!

I had a great experience at SAGE! The salon is located at a beautiful courtyard. On the second…read morefloor, is their space with a lovely designed interior. Valet is apparently free, but I found street parking in front of OSPI. I initially found SAGE on Yelp, then visited their website to learn more before booking. I really appreciated how transparent they are. Each stylist has a profile with a bio and a picture. The services and individual pricings are listed upfront in the booking portal, which made it easy to choose someone who fit what I was looking for. Price transparency is important to me, and at the very end I was charged exactly what I booked. My stylist was Mikayla, and she was incredibly meticulous/detail-oriented. She spent about 4.5 hours perfecting my Full Highlights, and I never felt like she was rushing through any part of the process. During the consultation, I felt heard. She listened to what I wanted without any judgment or pressure to steer me toward a different outcome. Instead, the conversation felt collaborative, with explanations that helped me make informed decisions. I know for some, having to chat for all that time may be daunting. Mikayla struck the perfect balance between friendly conversation and giving me space. She clearly communicated each step of the process before doing it. My Full Highlights service included foiling, toning, a shadow root, a hair mask, and a full blowout. I'm so happy with how everything turned out!

I had such a great experience at SAGE, especially with Colby!…read more From the moment I arrived, everyone was welcoming and the salon itself is beautiful. Colby really took the time to listen to what I wanted and understood exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to keep my long hair while adding movement and shape, and he absolutely nailed it. My hair finally looks the way I had envisioned. Beyond his talent, he was incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout the appointment. Before I left, he even let me know that if there was anything I'd like adjusted after living with the haircut for a few days, he'd be happy to take care of it. That level of care and attention really stood out. I'm so glad I found both SAGE and Colby. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a stylist who truly listens and delivers.

I've been going to Thao at Hair Society for several years now. She was the first person to ever…read morecolor my hair, back when I still had virgin hair. 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.

My hair is now so much healthier, longer, and stronger thanks to her care and consistency.

The salon atmosphere is always relaxing, it honestly feels like a little self-care day every time I go. lol If you're looking for someone who truly cares about hair health and makes you feel beautiful every appointment, I 100% recommend booking with Janeth!!

Now my 2yr old daughter is included in our roundup of haircuts. Soooo I am one of those people who hates getting my hair because I'm very attached to it, but Seyoung has been the only stylist to cut my hair based on the way my hair actually parts so I don't have a cowlick even when I don't blow out my hair. I've been through many iterations of my hair with Seyoung - long (like to my bum), lob, typical mom chop after first baby, medium length, v cut, layers, every type of bangs, perm, etc. And she passes the "true" test every time - after I wash my hair on my own the next day my hair still looks like it did after I left the salon. My husband just gets the same haircut every time he sees Seyoung but he always looks very handsome and dapper after so definitely no complaints! We also went through a slew of hair products to find out which one works best with his texture and Seyoung definitely helped point us in the right direction. Honestly, just go. You won't regret it :)

I had the most WONDERFUL experience with Trinidad [ Trini ]. His vibe, his energy, his attention to…read moredetail & most importantly, his skill!!! He's such an amazing hair stylist. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Background: I dyed my own hair blonde from my natural Dark Brown color. Needless to say, I COMPLETELY ruined my hair. I had breakage throughout the top-mid sections & it felt so rough & stringy. I then began cutting my own hair. [I absolutely do not recommend anyone ever doing their own hair.] Usually my hair grows in quickly, but after I have extensively processed & chopped the hair unevenly; my hair wasn't growing as it usually does. Trini to the rescue. I sent him inspirational photos & what my hair currently looked like but agreed to see it physically to decide what we could do about it. I was ok with having to go with a pixie cut or a short bob aline. This morning was my appointment. He was able to keep a lot more hair than I thought. He performed a few techniques & had my hair feeling absolutely soft & new. It's bouncy, it's soft & most importantly perfectly styled. He uses the Oribe line which he loves & recommended a treatment/leave in for me. I had to take it. This will most definitely keep my hair tamed & hydrated until our next appointment. Maintenance is key & I will do my part to get my hair at its best. &&& yes, I have my next appointment booked out as he books pretty in advance. He specializes in curly & short hair. If you are searching for your stylist...look no further & check him out. Love love love Trini.

I visited this salon about a week ago for a straight bob haircut. My hair is slightly wavy. When I…read moreleft the salon, I did not notice anything wrong with the haircut because my hair had been styled with a round brush. The entire service at David salon--including washing, cutting, drying, and paying at the reception--took only about 20 minutes. I was surprised by how quickly everything was done and, looking back, I wish I had paid more attention to how rushed the service seemed. I paid $85 including tip for the haircut. Based on my experience, I would recommend asking about the stylist's level of experience and exactly what is included in the service before booking. At one point, the hairstylist called over someone more experienced to show them her work and mentioned that I was "not her model." That comment made me uncomfortable, and I wish I had spoken up at the time. However, few days ago, I have my hair straightened with a flat iron. That was when it became obvious that my haircut was uneven. My advice is to choose your hairstylist carefully, especially if you want a precise bob or another haircut where the lines need to be very even. I would also suggest discussing your expectations and budget beforehand so you know what level of service you are receiving. It looks like decent haircut service at this place starts at around $120. Upd: you wrote "We would have appreciated the opportunity to address your concerns directly when you first noticed the issue." The unevenness only became visible a few days later when my hair was flat-ironed. I didn't notice it at the salon because it had been styled with a round brush. So there was no opportunity for me to raise it "when I first noticed" during the appointment - the issue wasn't apparent until later. That's why I left the review after the fact.
