Now that this ignoramus is in charge, everything has gone downhill customer service wise. I would be sad to leave Atlas (she is my go to girl & I was supposed to take my daughter in to see her before our family vacation, but I was so livid with ALI, I cancelled my appointments). I really don't want to get into the drama, but I need to tell the truth, so others will know. First of all, have spent an obscene amount of money here, and I will happily do so IF ownership gave a damn about their loyal clients and didn't treat them like garbage. **I'm referring to ALI, The jerk of an owner who has no clue what customer service really means. ** That said, I will be removing my pictures from this page. You do NOT have my consent to use my likeness or any member of my family's likeness to your benefit. If you continue to do so, I will file a cease and desist order. Additionally, Gabe, the sweet gentleman who cuts my hair, NO LONGER works here. You can find him at VOGUE SALON in Newport Beach. This is directed to you, ALI: I have addressed these incident(s) to your silent partner. If these situations are NOT rectified, I will have no choice but to leave, take my people, and find another salon. Let me make this CRYSTAL CLEAR: I will NOT tolerate your behaviour, ALIREZA. Rectify the situation, or not. Either way, I will very likely have to find a new salon.

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 appointment was at noon on a Saturday and there was no wait, in fact, Ashley sat me down a little early to get hair done. I didn't have any reference photos but mentioned my ideas and she ended up giving me soft waves and a half up do with a Dutch braid - I got so many compliments on my hair. She's so talented and so sweet! Was probably done within 40-45 min. I then had my appointment with Michelle around 12:45 for makeup. Showed her a few photos, mentioned I didn't want anything too over the top / was interested in soft glam. She asked my preferences throughout the appointment and it was very relaxing to sit under her care. I ended up with an understated, soft glam look that I loved! She probably took about 30 min or so. Finally, Ashley even gave me a slight touch up of my curls after makeup was done, which was so appreciated! Highly recommend this salon! Had an amazing experience (was offered beverages btw) and loved my hair and makeup! Cost was reasonable and I was in and out from ~12-1:30 for a lovely look for the wedding I attended!

I've been here twice and both times what I've appreciated most is the efficiency of the experience. I show the stylist a picture of what I'm looking for, my hair is washed thoroughly, and then there's about 30 minutes of styling. All in all, I'm usually done in 45 minutes or less and my hair looks gorgeous. The cost of the blowout is $60 (plus tip) so it's a little luxury but it's not too wild (and still wayyy cheaper than DryBar). Will be making this my go to spot for those special occasion blowouts!
