    First time here and I'm so happy with my results. She did such a great job I feel so bad not getting her name!! First time ever getting highlights. She also trimmed and blow dried my hair. Thank You so much!!!

    Patty was recommended by my friend. My mom and I had our haircut with her and we are so happy with the results. Patty is very friendly and professional. I have been to different stylists and she is the only one who suggests what my type of hair really needs. Plus she doesn't overcharge. I have very ugly, frizzy hair and she fixed.

    After

    Tammy did our 7 year olds FIRST haircut and let me just say she was AMAZING. She was so patient, kind and funny with his talkative and nervous behavior. She was very confident and professional and let us know what she was doing with every step. She made us really comfortable being there and the price was very reasonable. We will definitely be back for future haircuts!

    Haircut by Jose

    Jose was able to fit me in on a short notice, I have very long hair and wanted a haircut. He talked me through everything he was doing, he double checked the envy I wanted cut off and even gave me recommendations for what he thought would look best. And he was right! 10/10 will come back to this location just for Jose, and everytime I come back to visit from Texas I have to make sure to come by. He styled my hair afterwards and I couldn't be happier.

    Fantastic Sam's again does not disappoint Patty gave me exactly what I wanted and was so kind. I showed her the reference photo and she was able to do it perfectly

    Here is a before and after of my hair !

    Oh my goodness !! I needed this haircut quick and it was pretty last minute .. I was scared it would be a bad decision. but oh my God guys suggest Desiree she is amazing!! She executed exactly what I wanted perfectly! She did a beautiful Job and I always had long hair so going this much shorter was scary but she made me feel so beautiful after I saw how my hair turned out ! The whole thing was just $40 because I asked to blow dry my hair, she even washed my hair! The cut alone would have been just $27 she said Thank you Desiree

    This is the picture I showed her. I wanted the back covered.

    I can't rate the entire place, I'm only rating Sylvia. I've had my hair cut by her twice. The first time I loved it. The second time I went to the car and cried. I went in and showed her a picture. I thought she had understood but then she started cutting and cutting and then she took out the clippers. When she was done my hair looked NOTHING like the damn picture. I was pissed and felt like not paying anything or at least paying half. But I paid and I tipped her. But I will never go back there again. I included the picture I showed her and what my hair actually ended up looking like.

    Patty worked her magic and saved me from a color disaster by a different salon. THANK YOU PATTY!

    PATTY SAVED MY HAIR!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! This review is a month overdue. I had my hair colored at a different salon in Brea -- the guy completely screwed up the color (See pic: he left my hair a brassy orange color with a "black hole" at the back of my head), and I was desperately looking for someone else to fix my hair. Patty's name kept coming up on Yelp, and boy was I glad I went to her. She is so knowledgeable, professional, and just a delight to be around. I can be a bit of an introvert when it comes to people I just met, but she was so easy and fun to talk with and she made me feel comfortable. I've never gone to the same stylist more than twice. Either I didn't feel a connection with them and/or I was not satisfied with the end results. But with Patty, I feel like she gets me. She was patient and took the time to listen to what I had envisioned for my hair. She went above and beyond, gave me tips on how to style my hair, and even stayed a bit after the store closing hour to finish my hair. I'm done with the more expensive, impersonal salons. I can't wait to visit Patty in a few months for a cut + touch-up, and some chit-chatting :)

    Bonnie T.

    Great service. No wonder there is always a long line waiting. look for Patty. I recommend to make an appointment before you come. it is a busy place

    Mel C.

    I came in looking for a trim, I had some dead hair and split ends that I wanted to get rid of. The whole appointment went great, they were very friendly and gave many good tips on how to keep my hair healthy. I had looked at my hair in their mirror real quick and I thought "okay it's cute not bad". All was well, but as I was driving and feeling my hair, I feel my left side very choppy and doesn't flow like the right side. I get home and my sister tells me that it looks very chopped and the layers are off. I look in the mirror and yes, it looks very chopped! I'm so disappointed and upset. I've always had layers and they've never looked like this. Now I'm going to have to go get it fixed and pay again. But I'm never going back to Fantastic Sams. I'm going to go somewhere better even if I have to pay double. Super disappointed!!!! I never make Yelp reviews, but I had to make one after today.

    My finished cut by Patty. This photo was taken at the salón i went to to FIX my hair. HORRIBLE job!
    Monique R.

    I DO NOT RECCOMEND. I had the worst experience here fromtaparte. This is what my hair looked like before I got it fixed at a different salon. I asked for a few inches off the bottom and layers. This is what I received. Completely lop-sided and the top layer is unbelievably short. She had "techniques" I've never seen before which explains why it looks so terrible.

    This was how long my hair before my horrible hair cut..

    You know how when you look for a recipe, that there's that story at the very beginning that you…read moreneed to scroll through to eventually get to the end of the story to finally get the recipe? Yea, this is probably one of those. For 20+ years, I never really paid attention to my hair. Sure, I made sure it was washed, neat, and healthy, but I never styled or dyed it. Mainly because I just wanted to grow it long enough to donate every year and to rinse-repeat that cycle. Well, maybe it was a mid-life crisis or the shackles of filial piety were broken, but I finally FINALLY decided to get my hair dyed purple at the end of Dec 2023. I wanted to get this done right, and I did a ton of research and perused the area on a great hairdresser. And, every hair is different and I really was trying to dial in on hairdressers that know how to deal with Asian hair (ha, the past bad basic haircuts at the hands of the inexperienced were sad). Honestly, all of the pictures on Yelp really convinced me to reach out to Christine, and it was such an easy process via Yelp to let her know that I was interested in a cut, dyeing, and some styling. AND, I have sensitive skin and wanted to make sure any type of bleaching process wouldn't affect me, so that was hugely important to me. We got all the logistics figured out, got an appointment scheduled, and was ready to go. On the day of the appointment, I was able to message her to let her know I was in front of the doors so that she could let me in. She was so kind and welcoming! She sat me down, confirmed a few pointers, and started on my hair. Wash, cut, trim, bleach, dye. She was professional through the 4+ hours we were together, where we chatted on a number of different things as she made sure that everything was going to plan at every stage of my hair process. Let me tell you: the final result was AWESOME. Loved my hair; it was exactly what I wanted (the picture does not do it justice). She also provided me information on what specific shampoo/conditioner to use on my hair (definitely take her recommendations: the shampoo and conditioner were really good, as it strongly maintained my purple for over 1.5 years!). I received nothing but compliments about my hair the entire time it was purple for the past 1.5 years. But, it's summer 2025 now, and it was time to cut off at least 12" to let my neck breathe. I reached out to Christine via Yelp again, let her know I was looking for a cut-only, and got an appointment. Same process of messaging her when I was outside the doors, and we quickly chatted about my hair as we walked to her salon. The purple still looked GREAT and I was sad to see most of it go, but I do have plans maybe in the next 6 months for another color. Anyways, we did a quick consult, then wash, and then cut! Final result of a bob/layered was soooo nice and exactly what I was looking for. Hubby could not stop complimenting about it all night when I got home, and I love that there's still a little more purple left to admire. With all of the above, I just want to say that Christine is amazing, talented, and so professional. Her art is very visible in her work, and I've loved my hair any time she has touched it. Hands-down, she's the only hairdresser I'll want to go to, and I wish her continued successes in her business because she deserves it. I'm looking forward to my next cut/dye job with her!

    Christine is absolutely the kindest and most efficient. Went in for a long hair cut and was…read moresatisfied and content with the outcome. I asked for curtain bangs and layers to which she was able to do well within the hour.

I saw that Rebekah specializes in brunettes, so I knew could trust her! Rebekah truly went above and beyond to talk me through what was best for my hair and thoroughly understand what I wanted. She was so patient and informative! I told her that I wanted to take out some of the brassiness from my hair and blend it more naturally. She recommended a toner for my hair which I had never done before but it turned out BEAUTIFULLY. Seriously, I could not have dreamt up a better result than what she provided! It took out the brassiness in my hair and made my color look like a richer brown without making it look black like the way that a dye would - which is hard to get right for brunettes! Again, I would give the whole experience 10 stars if I could. Rebekah is the best! She takes the time to get to know her clients' wants, she was so friendly and kind, and she understood the assignment!

I feel like the results actually last, whereas Brazilian always seems to wash away quickly. The results are fantastic and I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Rebekah!

I showed her a few inspiration photos, and she didn't just match them--she completely exceeded them. She absolutely nailed the look, even better than I imagined. I rarely write reviews, but this experience truly deserved one. I'll definitely be coming back to her again!

I now have more damage to my skin than when I started. Leah sprayed over wrinkles and it ended up making them deeper and more visible, the burn marks were to deep and left holes in my face with black spot scares deep in my skin, not to mention it caused lots of hyper pigmentation all over my face and around my eyes I now look like I have freckles everywhere, which I did not have before. I posted the photos on a FB group of how the treatment was done the day after and I had over 150 comments saying this treatment was done VERY WRONG. I showed this to Leah and she assured me that she did it correctly and was properly trained, but I'm having a hard time believing the girl that trained her had any clue what she was doing because my skin is now permanently damaged. Leah offered to try and help correct it with a jet plasma pen but many people said I need to wait eight weeks before I do that treatment or it's going to cause more damage which Leah did not know either. I asked to wait the 8 weeks and now she doesn't want to give me the treatment she offered me. Leah gave some a professional grade chemical peel to do at home but I found out the chemicals in this product could also cause more damage so I never was use to use that. I'm now going to have to get thousands of dollars of treatment and waste more of my time trying to correct my skin. I explained this to Leah and asked for a refund or if she had any insurance that could help with the next treatments I'm going to need to get and she refused. See attached photos of the 3D scan I got showing all the hyperpigmentation damage in my skin now!!!
