Absolutely the best experience ever! I have been seeing Ryan for cut and color for the past 7 years and she hit the mark every single time she is always able to achieve whatever color I ask for and has an attention to detail that I've never experienced with another stylist. Additionally, she is very knowledgeable about products and always provides great advice when it comes to maintaining healthy hair. She definitely shows a lot of integrity as a stylist and prioritizes healthy hair, which I very much appreciate!! 10000/10 recommend! Overall, the experience at the salon is always amazing, from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, the entire staff really goes above and beyond to make it a luxurious and special experience, I will never go anywhere else again! read more

I drive from LA to get my hair cut here by Ryan. I have tried a number of other stylists in my area but none of them even came close to the cut Ryan accomplishes. She is an absolute magician. So talented at understanding different hair types and the client's wishes. Everyone at this salon is also so kind and welcoming! My time there is always so relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommend. read more

Was able to get a walk in with Adam. Best men's haircut I've had. Will be a return client, thanks!

Kamra is seriously one of the best hairstylists out there in Orange County. I was recommended to go and see her for a haircut/blow dry and couldn't have been more pleased with it. She has some serious skills, I have curly/tangly Irish hair and she was able to tame it down and give me the style I was looking for. When you get your hair washed before the cut/style, it's like going to a scalp spa! She was very gentle when blowing my hair dry, my mom was never that gentle hahaha. She also genuinely cares about you and wants to give you the highest service possible. Salon is also pretty nice, lots of nice products. I will be hiring her to do my hair for my upcoming wedding as well. Definitely book your next appointment with Kamra, I promise you won't regret it! I know I will be! :) read more

I started seeing Trevor 4 years ago when I lived in OC. When I moved to the SF Bay Area two years ago, I went to two different highly recommended stylists in NorCal to try and find someone local, but ultimately decided to keep flying down frequently to OC to see Trevor because he is the best. Here is what you can expect if you book with him: 1. He really listens to what you want in terms of cut and color and he will do exactly what you want. If I show him a picture, I walk out of the salon with what I asked for. If I show him a picture and ask for slight modifications, he listens and delivers. 2. His highlights look incredible and natural, and he will do it without overprocessing your hair. He puts a lot of foils in, but he makes them very fine, so you won't end up with tiger stripes. The colors he uses blend and have great dimension I get compliments on my hair all the time. 3. My hair naturally has a lot of red undertones (my natural color is a very dark blonde/very light brown), so other stylists have left me with a real brassy look. Trevor knows how to work with my hair to accomplish the look of blonde highlights I want without me looking like a tiger. 4. I have fine hair, but I have A LOT of it, so layers can be very tricky. Trevor knows how to accomplish dimension and body, without making the top layers heavy and chunky and the bottom layer scraggly (I have had this experience with other stylists). I have recommended several friends to Trevor, and they have become repeat customers because he has earned their continued business by providing great services. I recommend you give him a call! For my wedding, Trevor did my cut and color, and Vanessa did my style, I included a couple photos of this for reference. I highly recommend them both if you have a big day coming up - you won't be disappointed. I took in two different inspiration photos for my trial run, and ended up with an elegant updo that was very beautiful. read more

Trevor is amazing, at haircuts and highlights! I'm always so pleased with how my hair turns out after every appointment.

This Salon is amazing, every employee is excellent, from the front desk to assistants and colorists/stylists. So professional, polite, personable and all very talented. The salon is very comfortable and meticulous. Today I had Lyla, a very talented colorist/stylist who was excellent and is naturally gifted with truly an amazing personality. Just love her. read more

Owner yelling across salon insulting his stylist while working on my hair.

Oh my gosh, Trevor nailed my haircut. When I sat down in his chair, we talked about it, what kind of cut I wanted, and what I needed. He really listened to me. And then he gave us feedback of what he thought would be good With a few tweaks, he nailed it. I got my haircut by him three days ago and so many people stopped me and ask me where I got my haircut. He is amazing. I traveled all the way from Burbank, and it's worth the travel. He's the best. Thank you Daniel Michael Salon for being so professional. Thank you Trevor for hearing me and executing the most perfect haircut. See you soon read more

I've known Danny for thirty seven years. He is a master hair stylist. In 1997, he gave me the best haircut l've ever had. He will listen and give you the hair style and cut you want. I would ask for his opinion before deciding what you want. He checks your skin tone and face shape to make sure that any cut or color done, will complement both. He is continually training people new in the field. He has worked with models and celebrities but he doesn't brag about it. He also regularly goes to and teaches seminars to stay on the cutting edge of his profession. His whole salon is filled with talented and excellent stylists. He is friendly and does the work on your hair with lightning speed! It's because he is so practiced and teaches all over the country. This is second nature to him. There is nothing he doesn't know. So, if you're lucky enough to become his client, you'll never have to worry about your hair turning out right again. He's that good. read more

It's really hard to find a hairstylist with hair as curly as mine but Lyla at this Salon was a hair magician. Hands down great experience! I got a hair mask for free because I went in right after Christmas. My hair looks and feels healthier than it's ever been! They also had these cool heating things that rotate around your head that I haven't seen anywhere else. It was great for diffusing my curls- don't think I can take one home read more

Over priced and they charge you extra if you don't pay with cash. Previous owners where awesome, new owners now and I'm no longer interested in this salon. read more

The problems are: She didn't tell me this was a Train! I didn't come there for a bad cut with a $65! And also suffering 2 hours with hair all over my underwear, she can not even put the apron in the right way! Second is after I came back next day, showed the owner the problem was, she said " nothing wrong with the cut!" That's why I post my pics and comments here! The bad attitude and bad cut!!! read more

Lyla is reaaallly good with color as well as cut/blow out. I got her by chance in a last minute booking and can't wait to go back!

Lyla is the best for blondes! I love my bright, blonde summer hair . She does it all but I'm very particular about my blonde. She is sweet and very accommodating. Thanks Lyla read more

Very nice staff, very clean and everyone I have run across at this salon has been fantastic.

Annie is the BEST hairdresser I have ever been to ! She went above and beyond and made me feel so good about myself ! I have been getting my hair done forever and when I met Annie I had a life changing experience! I highly recommend Annie Dirienzo to be your stylist! She is AMAZING at what she does, and so sweet and fun ! read more

I had a haircut with Trevor about a month ago (bob style with fringe) and I love it. Best haircut I had in years! Will definitely return.

This is the third time that I am posting this review! The business decided to contact Yelp to remove an honest review so the public won't see it. Instead of contacting the customer or doing the right thing they just tried to hide it. I made an appointment with Annie to get my highlights done December 1st. While I was sitting in the chair I explained how I wanted my hair to look. I wanted to keep the dimension with my natural hair. I had a beautiful highlight and lowlight pattern that was basket weaved and only needed a touch up. While she is adding the foils I mentioned a second time I didn't want "slices" and In a nasty tone she says that she's pressed for time and not to be picky. She continued to highlight my hair taking slices and doing what she wanted turning the chair so I can't see in the mirror. She proceeds to make small talk, realizes I'm not happy and asked if I'm mad at her? When I tried to explain myself I couldn't help but break down a bit and cry! I booked this appointment to feel good about myself and get my hair done and treat myself to a salon experience. It was definitely not what I expected. After my highlights were done being processed she brought me back to her station but did not have time to blow dry me because she had another client. I blow dried my own hair myself at the station next to hers. We took some photos in the lobby when it was finished. There were things that I wanted to fix and things I didn't like but I was afraid to say anything based on how she treated before. It just wasn't want I wanted and I wasn't happy with it. The next day I messaged her with some photos asking her when we could fix some things I wasn't happy with. Her response was that she only works 3 days a week and doesn't have time until January (a month away). When I told her that I couldn't wait that long she said " i'm really sorry you feel that way. I just sent you your money back. Best of luck to you. Happy holidays." She didn't care about how she treated her client and she didn't care about her work. Offering the client money back was easier for her than to offer to fix it. I ended up going to another salon to get it fixed. I had slice marks from the foils and bleed marks from where the product came out of the foil and touched other hair surrounding it. There were chunky pieces that ended up looking blotchy near my hairline so I couldn't even wear my hair up to hide the mess. It needed to be highlighted, low lighted and a root touch up. After all said and done when you express yourself and your unhappiness with your hair you will be refunded and blocked! Annie does not go over and beyond for her clients and she does not provide a safe environment. Making you cry in her chair, being nasty with attitude is not what I call a good salon experience. Save yourself the heart ache, save your hair the damage, and save yourself the time and stress. Go somewhere else. read more

Yelp challenge 2017 : 76/100 Mimosa with a color ? Yes Please!! Coffee, water, refreshments and nice ambiance with great attentive staff ? Definately! Hair services with class and an chill experience, all day every day. Daniel Michael Salon is located on The corner of Rancho Viejo and Calle de La Rosa in a shopping center. With its natural lighting from many windows and spacious layout, one does not feel claustraphobic one bit. The professionalism and welcoming spirit of this salon is why I will be coming back. Free wifi? You betcha! Its located in cute frames all over, from the enterance to the chair areas. That is a plus! Professional staff and clean facility? Check, Check! Parking with ease? Check! I cannot say enough about this place. Added bonus: when you check into DMS with yelp, you get a free L'OREAL Powerdose Treatment that allows extra coverage and longer lasting color. Yes !!!! Check in was easy, and almost instantly my eyes scanned the adorable accessories that were calling my name whispering "buy me, buy me". From cute earrings, necklaces, to products like Tigi, Bead head, S-factor by Tigi, Kerastase, Shu Uemura, you have endless options for products. 1. A few of my favorite things: a blow dryer that orbits around your head like saturn while you sit and indulge ones cocktail! 2. Washing stations that are comfortable for those with neck issues like me 3. Changing station that allows one to hang clothes. 4. Professionalism of all staff, including the front desk. Tip: Salina the assistant is amazing. She is a perfectionist like me, takes her time, and listens to the client. Thats a win and major points in my book. I have had the pleasure of working with Salina over the past year and can say that her color is on point. I am a grey resistant gal and she does magic. If in the San Juan Capistrano area, or Southern OC and looking for a great salon, this hidden gem is an option. I will post a few photos of her work to see for yourself. See photos read more

I came here and was played for a fool. Imagine getting your hair messed up (I ended up looking like Dora), then when you try to delegate the situation with the manager, she threatens to report you. Yes, the manager threatened to report ME because I wasn't happy with the haircut. their salon may look fancy, but it's only a facade. Your haircut won't look as good as their salon (which is probably paid for by the money they scammed off of their customers with awful haircuts). I'd pay a blind person to cut my hair before I let them touch it next time. read more

I loved this salon and my Stylist Vanessa. It was a pleasure to be in a full service salon again (after Covid) where I could see work being done safely with several stylists properly spaced apart . Vanessa was delightful and my hair came out just perfect I will definitely be back as I came from Oceanside based upon a recommendation...a good recommendation read more

Came in from out of town to attend a formal event, from the first moment I called they went out of their way to accommodate my needs. Sara spent great time and attention getting my hair and makeup just right for my event. The customer service was amazing I wish I lived closer this would be my salon. If you are going to a formal event or wedding Sara is your girl for amazing updos and makeup. read more

I called and got in same day. Mackenzie was amazing, she did a bass and highlight and hair cut. She was attentive and made sure I left happy. If it wasn't for the receptionist it would have been a 5 star. When I made the appointment I was clear this was my first time When I was checking out I added a tip and told them what to make the total Imagine my surprise when it was higher thank what I said. When I asked why I was told there is a surcharge for using credit or debit card ( I used debit). I said I wish I was told that I would have brought cash or a check. She said next time bring a check. She ruined some of the amazing experience and service I received from Mackenzie read more

The Daniel Michael Salon is extremely clean and everyone is always so professional and kind. read more

Daniel Michael Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - San Juan Capistrano, California

I have been going to Daniel Michael Salon for years. Regina has been doing my hair for about 30 years now. She is fantastic!

I did not have a GREAT experience here. I went to the lady who did my hair here TWICE and only went back the second time to see if she would do a better job. I am new to Orange County, and before this experience I have only had one other hairstylist in my life. She did a highlight and when I left I was so unhappy it looked as though she didn't even touch my roots. She did very small blonde partial highlight strands which is a horrible thing because my hair is very blonde and my roots are dark! So the second time I gave her another shot but I was definitely disappointed once again. The ONLY reason I have this 2 stars instead of one is because she was really sweet. My god people how hard is it to get a blonde colorist in Orange County? I am now on the search for a new hairstylist. read more

The owner of this location is trying to compensate for his lack of service and behavior by posting this comment. My review is only further supported by his attempt at justifying his rude comments by stating my "unrealistic" interests. I showed him past pictures of myself for the exact same style and color I wanted, told him exactly how to achieve this and explained how I have done this several times in the past. He responded by telling me "good luck" and that he would tailor my hair style/color to whatever he felt like doing. His employee (very friendly and helpful) emailed me to apologize for his boss' behavior. Oh... And I wouldn't call the Cheesecake Factory a bar... Another example of his cocky attitude. read more
