This place is so awesome! $40 woman's hair cut (no wash or style) - takes same day appointments and walk ins - clean salon - quick and thorough service - stylist actually listens to what you want and executes in detail Love Phi Phi's work!!

The cut she wanted. You can see the length in the back

Omgosh, NO, thank you, my daughter and I went in today for a walk-in because it had good reviews and not too far away. My cut that i wanted: medium shag with a lot of texture. My daughter has curly hair and wanted a shorter cut with longer on top for curls. We did not get either. My hair cut; when asked for the length I showed her, but instead of marking and then verifying before she cut...she cut before verifying and cut too much, by a good inch. Also, when i got home i noticed that not only did she cut it too short but the rest of the hair its all done in obvious separate lengths. Nothing is blended or even. I could do a better job at home with utility scissors. I dont wven think she knows what shes doing. I knew that i should have walked out when i saw how much she had cut initially. As for my daughter...the woman who did hers evidently gave her a "boy" cut because it is OBVIOUSLY way shorter than the picture, and when my daughter gave her input she said that the hairdresser said was "the back has to be shorter." Have you ever had a bad haircut/do' that made you feel horrified and yes, probably "ugly"? I know I have and now so does my daughter because that's all she said on the drive home. Hair grows, and lessons are learned. Finding the "right" hairdresser is an intimate job and requires trust and the ability to listen and understand each other. Which we didnt feel here This isn't the first "bad" cut we've received, but for my daughter, it's definitely the worst. Edit: no, it's a worst cut by both of us. They did refund the $$ for her cut and did look remorseful, but giving me an excuse for ignoring personal input doesnt help. Edit: i want a FULL refund after seeing what they did to my hair. I do NOT recommend this "salon" the females who did our hair were older females with longer brown hair (Auburn) not the younger woman with black hair. Absolutely the worst! Edit: no full refund. They send to come back, but no thanks. If they can't take simple directions and hut my hair at least straight then no way am I ever going back.

Great experience at Friendly Hair Salon! I had waist-long hair and was ready for a significant cut to take off the literal (and figurative) weight. Called today (a Monday) and was able to get in later this afternoon. The stylist Phi Phi and I talked through the plan, and agreed to have her cut about 12" off and add soft layers near the ends. Turned out beautifully! It was $65 for a wash, cut, and style for my long hair. Very happy with the results, and will certainly be back!

I have a very fine Asian hair so when I moved up here from San Diego, I was searching everywhere for a hair salon. Someone on next-door recommended this hair salon and I absolutely love me hair. There is plenty of parking and the salon is very clean and welcoming. I called on Monday and Phi phi was able to fit me in. They do take walk-ins on certain days as well. Phi phi did my hair and she asked me all the questions and I told her I definitely trust her. Also if she recommends anything. She shampooed and conditioned my hair and cut off all my dead ends and blow dried it. My hair feels amazing! I love it!

Update 10/18/22 After all these years, I still highly recommend Phi Phi! My a-line lob from my last haircut in February has overgrown into a shapeless and uneven pattern. I was sporting that for long enough. Phi Phi was able to fit me in last minute today before closing. 30 minutes in Phi Phi's chair and voila! The results speak for themselves. Definitely ask for Phi Phi! She's super attentive and very sweet. Plus she knows her craft.

Fifi is amazing to work with! She will always be honest with what will look best on you and takes her time making sure it's perfect! Went to her for hair coloring and then returned to get bleached and colored! Loved the way it turned out!

First time getting my hair done here. Phi Phi(pronounced Fl Fi) is an amazing stylist. She listened to what I wanted and really transformed my hair into something gorgeous. Very meticulous and she is so friendly. I found my new place and am very happy with the end result.

I went to Phi Phi for a cut and color after pandemic. At this point anything will do! She was so nice and friendly. I asked for a long bob with partial highlights They have a special right now, so it worked out. I love my new cut and color. Phi Phi and I shared stories and it is such a great salon to be in. It was a wonderful experience. Thanks!

Natasha B.

Incredibly grateful for The Friendly Hair Salon in Tustin! Phi Phi was an absolute joy and delight to style my hair. She was so kind and gentle from wash, to cut, to blow dry and styling. The salon was welcoming and inviting. My mother recommended this place for me and now I'm recommending it to anyone who reads this review! My hair looks timeless and elegant exactly what I requested and Phi Phi delivered! She is a craftsman with her art of hairstyling. I am blessed by her company and talent. Thank you!

Venus Q.

Phi Phi did a great job! She gave me an appointment the day of and she cut my hair exactly to my specifications. She gave me beautiful layers while keeping my hair pretty long. Thank you!! I'll definitely come here again for a haircut.

I went to Gigi for balayage and had a great experience overall…read more The first time, the balayage came out nice. Since it was my first time getting the style, I still had plenty of my natural dark hair left in, with a good amount of dimension of the blonde without it overwhelming me. The second time I went back and told her I wanted to go more blonde--not ashy like the first time, but a creamy blonde. She completely delivered. The color came out exactly how I asked for it, and she did an amazing job. I'm really happy with the result. Highly recommend Gigi if you're looking for someone who listens and can give you the balayage you're after.

Her prices are fair, and I think she goes above and beyond the given price point too. My haircut consistently results in what I ask for, even when I change it up. She moves swiftly and skillfully. I can always expect her to be kind and thoughtful in all of our interactions. She genuinely cares about her clients and curates such a welcoming and safe environment in her salon. It's been an extreme pleasure getting to know her. I only hope she continues to increase her clientele so others can see how great of a hairstylist AND person she is!

Wow! I had a great experience with Vivian. This will be my first of many visits to see her for my…read morehair needs. Being Asian, our hair tends to be different. Light, straight and resistant to curling, chemical curling and holding styles - even with hair spray. I've been to many other salons in the past, where I wasn't happy at the end. But, I would go back anyways, being a loyal client. Not in this case. I decided to try something new. I chose Vivian because I knew she would know how to manage Asian hair, being Asian herself. I wanted to get full highlights, condition, cut and style. Vivian was polite and friendly and very welcoming. I sat in the chair and was draped with the cape. Vivian placed a clear visor on my forehead to protect my eyes of any chemicals and whatever else. She started right away seeing what color I wanted and gave me her recommendation and started mixing the dyes. While she did all that and worked on making my hair fabuloso, I was on my phone checking emails, Facebook and watching videos. After Rinsing, Shampooing and Conditioning, she began to blow-dry. In the salon, they were doing a little construction and Vivian was so cute that every time the men were drilling or making all kinds of noise, she covered my ears to lessen the loud noise for me. Very kind of her. Anyways, she cut and styled my hair and it was perfect. The curls at the end looked beautiful. I know they're not going to last forever, but it's the best curls I've had in a very long time. I will definitely be back.

This has been my best experience in terms of outcome and financial. I previously had a bayalage…read moreand a couple of partial highlights. 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.
