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

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!

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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!

I've walked by this place countless times and always noticed how busy this hair salon was. After…read moresomeone recommended Donna Thao, I finally decided to give her a try, and I'm so glad I did! Lately, life has been so hectic that my hair had grown much longer than I intended. Between stress and getting older, I was starting to notice some changes in my hair and knew it was time for a little self-care and a fresh new look. I reached out to Donna, and she was incredibly friendly and accommodating, even managing to squeeze me in for a last-minute appointment. From the moment I arrived, the salon had a lively, welcoming atmosphere. It was bustling with clients, but the overall vibe was comfortable and relaxed. You could tell the stylists were busy doing what they love, and the salon had a great energy. During my appointment, I explained exactly what I was looking for. Donna took the time to listen, understood my vision, and absolutely delivered! She worked her magic, giving my hair beautiful movement, volume, and a refreshed look while keeping the length and style I wanted. I've received so many compliments from family and friends, and I couldn't be happier with the results! It's amazing how a fresh haircut and color can give you such a confidence boost. Thank you, Donna, for your patience, attention to detail, and for making me feel young, beautiful, and confident again! It's not just about getting your hair done; it's about leaving the salon feeling like the best version of yourself. I'll definitely be returning and would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a stylist who truly listens and delivers beautiful results!

Make apps via their cell phones and they answered pretty fast…read more However, not so enjoy the atmosphere there. They talked to each other too much and don't really pay attention to their client. I tried Van & the owner lady (forgot her name). Their skill is just ok, not excellent as reviews on yelp. Won't come back.
