    (Hair in the front intentionally left out for my barber)
    Eric R.

    Favor Braiding was a perfect experience. Regina (I hope I spelled that correctly) its extremely professional, amazing at what she does, and overall just a pleasure to be around. I am very picky about who I let touch my hair as I've heard plenty of horror stories from others' experiences. Regina was quick, light handed (I know lots of people will appreciate this), and clean. My hair is exactly how I expected. Regina also was mindful of my dry scalp and kept my scalp and hair nice and moisturized. And, during the whole experience, we were just laughing and talking. With my hair style I was in and out in under and hour. I definitely will be using Favor Braiding consistently.

    Regina was super friendly and made some suggestions based on my hair. Originally I was going to have six braids with zigzags but we decided to go with the Nipsey Hussle style for a simple classic look for the event I'm going to. Glad we went with that style cause it came out fire. Highly recommend this place.

    I just wanted to say that to favor braiding she is just a wonderful lady. Great customer service she fit me in on her day off that alone I will be a customer for life she made sure I was comfortable she also is a perfectionist when was done she felt like one of the braids was not up to her standards and let me know she was going to redo them fixed any issue she had with it she is very attention to detail before I left she went over all of the hair snip any stragglers of hair she also adds oils for moisture and anti itch she has very reasonable pricing she also makes you feel so comfortable like your at home she ask if it's to hot she can turn on a fan or to cold she can close a window just a great woman with and enormous heart and a passion for hair if your looking for a hair braiding lady you will not be disappointed also she can do any style you would like bring pictures is a big help.

    Regina was extremely professional and the sweetest, which made me feel comfortable while doing my knotless braids. I really like the fact that she pays attention to detail and takes her time. Excellent customer service. I can't wait until my next appointment.

    I have gone to Regina for my full weave with closure several times now and have always had an amazing experience. Regina is very talented at what she does and takes her time to ensure she does a perfect job each time. I have SEVERE alopecia and about 40% baldness from it which you would never know when I have my weave done by Regina. Due to my alopecia and having fineAsian hair my scalp is very sensitive and getting weaves done by others in the past was unbearably painful but Regina magically somehow knows how to do a strong and tight weave on me free of tons of pain. After trying a few people I Am grateful I finally found my go to for weaves here in OC so I no longer need to drive to LA. Can not recommend her more.

    Regina is so professional and very kind. She makes sure that you are comfortable while styling and/or braiding your hair. She is also a perfectionist and pays attention to details (example: ensuring the rows of your braids are straight and uniform). She also makes sure your braids look full. Additionally, Regina takes the time to give you tips for healthy hair and even makes style recommendations.

    Gabriela L.

    Absolutely beautiful braids. My sister got her braids done with Regina three times now and absolutely loves her! She loves the styles, the colors she provides, and her caring and gentle approach. Definitely recommend her, best overall experience.

    Janet V.

    First off, thank you so much Regina for your patience and beautiful work :) I love my braids and I'll recommend anyone looking to get their hair braided to visit Favor Braiding because she's truly amazing at what she does. It was my first time ever getting my hair braided and she made this experience awesome, she also pays attention to detail ensuring all is good. I'll keep coming back she made me feel comfortable and took her time!

    Box Braids Hairstyle
    Stephanie R.

    I spontaneously decided to get box braids for my headshot session and was nervous that I wouldn't be able to find anyone in time who could schedule me in. Regina gladly made time for me and I was right away scheduled to go over her house a couple days later. She made my first experience getting box braids very relaxing and the braids turned out so beautiful. I have to say that overall this experience exceeded my expectations and I recommend Regina at Favor Braiding to anyone who is looking for an amazing hair transformation!

Jessie made sure with me throughout the appointment if I was okay with what she had recommended. She knew exactly where she wanted to start my layers and even took the time to show me how to style my hair on my own as well! At the previous hair salon they would thin out my hair so so much. Yes, it did feel lighter but often times I'd leave the appointment feeling as though they had thinned it out way too much. Jessie made sure not to thin it and even told me herself since I already had thin wavy hair it was best to avoid that. She mainly focused on using scissors rather than thinning blades to give me the layers I've wanted. Results came out amazing and I did not leave worried about how much hair I may have lost. The hairstyle she gave me is very easy to maintain as well as she assured me it would look fine as it grows out as well. So excited to go back and try out maybe a different style of bangs with her! Overall my experience with her was amazing, she was sweet, also had a nice little Korean drama on for me to watch. I tend to yap and she made sure to have some small talk while focusing on the haircut. It was my first time going into a salon where it's just me and the stylist and now I CANNOT have it any other way. The amount of attention she gave ensuring everything was cut to her standards was very much appreciated. Highly recommend Jessie if you're looking for someone who will take her time with you!

However, you have to keep bleaching to keep the roots fresh and color grey hairs. My hair was dry and brassy, needed dimensions, deep conditioning, and toning. I needed a lowlight or reverse bayalage. I checked Groupons to save money but sometimes you're not getting their best work because it's cheaper and they're not getting as much money or sometimes they charge more for long hair etc. I even got turned away by one color expert called "Hair by Christopher" on Groupons who told me after looking at pictures of my hair, he responded "It's more work than I want to take on.I don't feel comfortable taking it on. Sorry." He claims he a color expert and had good reviews but he was not compassionate nor caring about my situation. Anyways, I checked yelp instead. I reached out to as many stylists I could that would respond right away, educate me, would answers my questions and had good reviews. I wasn't sure if anyone was going to be able to save my hair but I knew I needed lowlights and never had one plus I didn't want to lose all my highlights either. Vivian knew what I needed and what I wanted after communicating with her and sending pics etc. She wanted to work with me and gave me a better deal than Groupon and most stylists. She listened. She wanted to help me. I trusted my instincts and she made my hair look better than I imagined. You can see for yourself. She's efficient, unbelievable at multitasking, and is a hard worker. She doesn't waste your time and her attention is on your hair at all times. She saved me. I am ever so thankful for her. I would refer her to everyone. She doesn't overcharge. She helped save me from hundreds of dollars.

She even had my reference photo open the whole time for accuracy. I will say, I was a bit timid during my appointment and that just because I have really bad first time anxiety, but Nana was very kind and welcoming.

That was the cherry on top. I'll definitely be coming back. Thank you for boosting my confidence, Nana.

Her technique is also a true balayage that blends seamlessly and gives hair wonderful dimension, and I'm impressed by her ability to lighten hair in one setting then toning to get Asian hair to a more ashy, cool-toned since Asian black-brown hair tends to pull red/orangey by nature. You can see her work on instagram @hair_by_na_na She uses super quality products too like schwarzkopf and olaplex. I left with my hair feeling really soft and healthy despite the bleaching. I also like hearing from stylists what they recommend as maintenance. She was very thorough and detailed with her aftercare tips! - No shampooing for 3 days (she said water only is ok - not too cold or hot). This allows the cuticles to close while the color is getting deposited into your hair. - Start using a purple shampoo in 3 weeks to help keep brassiness at bay. - Use sulfate-free colored hair friendly shampoo/conditioner like Pureology. - Use something like Olaplex or K18 to keep hair strong and healthy. - In 2 months, come back for toning to refresh color. My balayage and cut took about 4.5 hours. Nana and Sean work together with the foiling and painting so it speeds things up. She provided a Fiji water and there's a little basket of snacks there too that you can munch on while she does her thing.

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!

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.
