Quinn P.

I decided to get an impromptu haircut, midway home, and luckily co Nancy was able to squeeze me in. Everyone was really friendly and nice, I honestly really loved the result. 10/10 would recommend. ( yah my hair was pretty chopped before I came in )

Tiffany B.

I always love going to Nancy to get my haircuts! She's very meticulous to ensure my hair is even because I ask for long layers and long bangs. She's very kind and puts in a lot of effort into my hair. Thank you Nancy!

Long layers
Irene W.

Came here on a recommendation from two friends. I loved their hair and how layered and flow-y it looked. I honestly haven't had a real layered haircut in so long. I usually do an even cut because it's so hard to get good Asian layering without it looking too thin or flattering to Asian hair/face. Nancy/Nhung knows what she is doing. Her specialty is layering. I told her exactly what I wanted: tiny trim, long layering with face framing "curtain bang" pieces. She really took her time with me and carefully made sure every piece was perfect. I honestly don't think I've ever come out of the salon feeling so happy and satisfied with a haircut before. She gave me EXACTLY what I wanted and I now have flow, style, and bounce to my hair! Nancy was also so sweet. She's been doing hair for 5 years and been in the beauty industry for 35 years. I had called after hours on a Saturday and she was able to take me in the next day. I'm so appreciative I finally trusted and came in to Friends Style Salon. I will DEF be coming back to get my hair done here

Minh Th P.

Highly recommend this place! I booked an appointment with Nancy, and she did such a great job on my hair. She's super professional and really knows how to style your hair to fit your face. The new spot is 18305 Brookhurst St, Suite 46, Fountain Valley - definitely check her out!!!

Ashley C.

The best haircut I ever got.The ladies here are so kind and give you exactly what you want! So cute inside with fun things to purchase. I highly recommend this place! Such a great job I really appreciate it!

Choppy and too short
Lily L.

I called to make an appointment and when I showed up, the hairdresser explained she was on her way out and canceled my appointment without any warning. We rescheduled for the next day and when I sat down, she immediately started cutting without asking me what style or length I wanted. I corrected her, but she still cut off more than I wanted. I came in with grown out layers from a previous haircut and I just wanted to get them cleaned up a bit. She gave me new layers that were very choppy, and the face framing layers are super blunt (I could've cut them better myself honestly). The back of my head is a completely different length than the front. My hair is naturally straight so I've been curling it most days to hide how choppy the layers are. Thankfully my hair grows pretty fast but I will not be coming back here. The salon also smelled kinda strange which isn't a great sign for a hair salon lol.

Jade N.

It was my first time here and I am so glad I gave this place a shot! First off, the shop is so cute with all the decorations and succulents! I haven't gotten a haircut in over a year and had damaged ends from a perm, but Nhung was so gentle and patient with my hair. She really took the time to work on every layer and my hair looked so beautiful at the end. It's not easy to find a good hairdresser/hairstylist and I'm very happy I found her. I will be returning.

Long layered haircut
Liliana C.

I made an appointment to get my haircut based on the other yelp reviews that I saw regarding layered haircuts. The salon is a bit hidden not visible from the street. I was quoted a price over the phone which was not honored when I arrived which is understandable since she said my hair was "too long". She got to cutting right away and cut A LOT more than I asked her to cut. She asked me to put my head back back and look at the ceiling for a picture (which is why my hair looks longer than it is. It was fine since my hair does grow pretty fast. The haircut itself was fine. I liked the way she styled it and the way it looked. She yanked and pulled at my hair way too much I left with a headache. Ok experience not satisfied with the price.

Haircut with blowout
Crystal N.

I let Nancy take the wheel with my haircut. I hadn't cut my hair in a year and desperately needed a refresh. I was able to book an appointment through Yelp and it was smooth sailing. I asked Nancy for layers and to cut my hair how she thought would be best for my face. My hair was pretty long and felt flat at the top so I was looking to trim some inches off in hopes of lightening my hair for some volume. I got my hair washed and then she cut it wet. After blow drying, additional cuts were made before she gave me a blowout. She informed me that she cut my hair evenly in the front so that I could part it however I liked. She also mentioned that my hair is thin so she didn't layer my hair too much/too high so that it still looked full. My hair looked so good after the blowout! I'm also satisfied with it after naturally drying my hair after I wash it. My hair is lighter and looks healthy! I'll definitely go back to Nancy for a hair cut when it's time again.

After - long layers
Kelly N.

Nancy is the sweetest person ever. On top of that, she is so talented. She gave me the most beautiful haircut I ever got in my life. I found her on yelp and all the reviews are true. She is amazing at what she does. I asked her for long layers. I got so many compliments after she cut my hair. Thank you again, Nancy. You're the best.

This is what I wanted
Julie V.

I got my haircut done completely wrong. I want hush cut/jellyfih cut. I provided pictures to follow, but my bangs in front of my face got completely ruined. They're way too short and too thick.

Sofia D.

Best haircut place in OC! She gave me fabulous Bob which is exactly what I want and gave my Dad a great men's short haircut. We definitely will come back! Nancy is great!

Long layers by Nancy
Mary P.

So I went to another hair stylist the day before finding Nancy. Back story: I started with waist long hair and what I wanted was to keep the most length I can, and just add long layers. Obviously, that didn't happen. My hair was chopped and my cut was straight, no long layers. But I didn't cry, I yelped. LOL. I'm glad I found Nancy and I am so grateful to her for fixing my haircut!! Finally got my layers!!

I brought in a photo of a shorter cut I liked, but chu Loi took the time to really think about what would suit me best. He explained that, given my longer face shape, the exact cut I had in mind might not be the most flattering, and suggested a slightly longer layered bob instead. And that indeed turned out to suit me perfectly, and I've been getting compliments ever since. What stood out to me was how knowledgeable and experienced he is. You can tell he genuinely understands his craft and isn't just going through the motions. He also shared practical tips on how to maintain the style at home, which was super helpful for me who been having long hair for years. Besides, I mentioned I wanted to donate my hair rather than just cut it, and they were incredibly helpful. They guided me on how to properly prepare and store it for donation, which I thought was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish.

I have nothing against her level of English however unfortunately it does get in the way. It's frustrating when someone puts words in your mouth and make you feel stupid. As a business owner doing services for people I believe it's a given to get feedbacks from clients. Never once have I complained nor told her things were her fault. Ever. I went there yesterday and showed her a picture of how I'd like my hair. She informs me that my hair can't achieve that color exactly and also adding that I complain. Please. Let's pull up our whole chat here if we need to. I understood that 1000% as she kept repeating herself speaking condescendingly as if I'm not understanding. The thing is she wasn't understanding me. I then asked her her opinion on what would be the best option to go with in order to get it as close ( not that I was going to follow what she says I just wanted to see what her opinions were from a professional stand point) she then turned me away and canceled on me. Alright, cool. I get it. I can respect a business owners decision as they have the right to turn down any services, I still tipped her 80$ for taking off my extensions for me not that I had a lot left on my hair. I'm not that kind of person. however again I really frkn wish she could've asked me these questions over the phone so I didn't have to waste my time driving back and forth. But thank you linn, because of your lack of skills and confidence, I'm now here at another place my gf introduced me to as we speak. Very happy this worked out this way. Girl bye.

So I saw an influencer post about Ai Lin so I immediately found her on instagram, texted her…read morenumber, and booked an appointment. Then I drove 7 hours from SF to come see her. This is THE place to be for anything hair-related. Truly! I've gotten my hair done (bleached, balayage, babylights, foilyage, highlights, etc) and this was my favorite experience. The salon feels very homey and gives family vibes. Just be prepared that if you're going in for any bleaching service it'll most likely be an all-day thing. But Ai Lin and everybody cares very much about the integrity of your hair and Ai Lin is very realistic about what is achievable for your hair without damaging it too much. Ai Lin works very hard (as does everybody else in this hair salon!) and is very much working on multiple people at once, but does her best to check in. I didn't see her eat or drink water once (hopefully she did!), for the whole time I was there from 10:30-6:30pm. My hair also wasn't lifting in the bottom as we expected to, as I last dyed my hair 5 years ago but we were able to make it work. She also gave me SUCH a good long layered cut! I'm very grateful to have been taken care of by such a thoughtful team and would highly recommend anybody to come here. I'll be coming back for a tone in the summer!
