    So happy with my curly haircut and the whole experience! Levi is so personable and really listens to what you want. He really takes his time perfecting your hair and making you comfortable. I can't recommend him enough. So glad to finally found someone who understands curly hair in OC. Thanks again and I'll be back :)

    I can choose to have bangs or not the versatility is astounding

    CURLY GIRLS (&boys) LOOK NO FURTHER, you have arrived. I've never let anyone cut my hair in the last 10 years. I'm very particular with letting anyone touch curly hair however I accidentally cut half of my hair off and really needed professional help. I did a ton of research and Levi was the winner. By the grace of God, he took me in as an emergency and absolutely killed it. His vibe was amazing dare I say we hit it off on top that, This is the best haircut I've ever gotten in my entire life and I will not go anywhere else to have my hair done. Levi is THE curly hair connoisseur. He's so well educated and has an incredible eye for detail and style. Put the scissors and trust in his hands, ladies and gentlemen.

    Loving my curly haircut!

    Loving my curly haircut! My last haircut was almost 2 years ago. I haven't found a curly hair stylist in CA until today. I asked for trim on ends, shape/face framing & I'm very happy with the results. Levi was very accommodating & professional. Glad we're able to keep the length as I'm trying to grow my hair out more. Will be back in a few months. PARKING WAS VERY CONVENIENT!

    I hadn't had a haircut in over a year, and I'm so happy with the curly haircut I got from Levi! He really knows curly hair and took the time to help me understand what would work best for my texture and curl pattern. The cut brought my curls back to life and gave my hair the shape and bounce it was missing. Highly recommend Levi if you're looking for someone who understands curly hair

    Levi was very good at listening to what I wanted and didn't want. He made a very comfortable environment where I felt heard. I wanted a curly cut with my thick and long hair, and he helped achieve that. It's been over ten years since I've gotten a professional hair cut, so this was a great experience coming back to a professional.

    Levi did it again!!! Always such a great experience coming to him. I thought I ruined my curls from flat ironing it about a month ago and booked right away with Levi. He brought my curls back to life and cut off all the dead ends! Yassss we love it! Curly hair girlies in OC/LA/LBC it's worth a trip to come to him! Thanks Levi!

    I love my new hair! Levi was an exceptional hairstylist. I felt very heard about what I wanted and knew my hair was in good hands. It had been 1 years since I last had a haircut. My hair ends were very damaged, hair was one-length/flat, and very uneven on the bottom. Levi was able to get my hair to a healthy place while saving as much length as possible. The salon is very comfortable to be in and the vibes are good. He definitely has many years of experience and that was very evident in his work/techniques.

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!

Colby really took the time to listen to what I wanted and understood exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to keep my long hair while adding movement and shape, and he absolutely nailed it. My hair finally looks the way I had envisioned. Beyond his talent, he was incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout the appointment. 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.

    I have been getting my hair colored since I was in middle school, to completely date myself, that…read morewas over 25 years ago. 25 years, aka the 90s and I have had my fair share of great and absolutely horrific hair cut and color experiences. I was born platinum "toe head" blonde and it started to shift to strawberry then brunette. I began having my hair "highlighted" to get to more of a blonde result and even at a young age experienced stylists that would completely butcher my hair, frying it off from 12 inches down to an inch, getting cheesy spots from bad bleach jobs, trying solid and having bands of color, you name it I've seen it. I clearly had rotated my fair share of stylists from all walks of life. I finally landed on a stylist I found on Instagram for being a blonde specialist and I've been religiously seeing him up in Hollywood for my hair since 2019. I would literally take a flight from Vegas when I lived there to be able to see him, I'd drive sometimes 4/5 hours there and back just to see him because NEVER once did he butcher my hair. It always left gorgeous AND my hair is long which I've never been able to achieve without extensions and it has volume (or should I say, HAD). The thing about him is he KNOWS HIS LANE, he doesn't do cuts, he does platinum solid blonde (and extensions) and that is IT. No cuts. To TikTok I went. I had a friend who had it done in Vegas but needed to find someone local. I used her inspo photo when I found Chrissy and was connected to her assistant. I was quoted $495 for the cut. Paid $100 deposit. I get a text the night before asking me to come in at 8am instead of 9. No Mam, going to have to keep the 9 (won't get into why, a little silly I felt the need to explain why). Okay great I'm here for a few minutes, no one acknowledges me and the owner of the salon is greeted by a stylist as if she'd never met her before. This is who gets assigned to me. Chrissy is working on someone else's hair and in the zone. Assistant (never told me her name or introduced herself), walks me over I hear "she's just a cut" and I'm robed up and sat down. Chrissy makes her way over to me, asks me if I'm okay with the front bangs being this length and holds my hair to show me. I say I trust her. She tells the assistant wash twice then condition. Assistant felt like she'd never washed hair in her life it was the weirdest experience. I'm brought back to the chair and she walks around aimlessly for a minute like she's not sure what's next. Dry brushes my hair then more walking then grabs the round brush and starts drying. Another assistant comes over and she seemed really confident, starts blow drying the front and is super fast and felt professional. Then they start curing my hair. I'm thinking... is this intentional? I'm here for a cut, why would they use number one a curling iron on 90s style hair and secondly cut when there's curls!? That means my hair is going to be uneven because it's not straight ‍. But what do I know? The rollers were in for a max 3 min aka as soon as they finished the last one they pulled them out of my hair. No heat, no real time to actually work. Chrissy comes over and she starts cutting. I'm having an anxiety attack because the "blowout" was very much NOT 90s and very bad appointment at the dry bar vibe. She cuts away, and I'm watching 8 inches of hair fall to my lap. Cut dry, not held straight despite the spray curls and cut roughly along the edges for thinning. Nearly a decade of hair, gone without what felt like real care or strategy. I get a solid 5 minutes max with her. She asks if I want more layers, I communicate it's hard to tell what was done when there's spiral curls the layers are hidden in the spirals, it's impossible to answer that. Had it been like the photo I could tell. She says show me the inspo photo I pull up one she says it's ai I pull up another of my friend says it's ai again I say no that's actually my friend she got this haircut and I see her all the time this is how it looks. I'm then told it's because I don't have thick hair (mind you the woman helping me with my hair at one point commented about how much hair I have and how she couldn't imagine me with extensions). She was super nice, and a major reason I left a 22% tip even though I'm usually more of a tipper that equals closer to 30%... anyways - they bring over another girl and I just state I'm not wanting spirals the style is to have just the ends curled not spiral curls... so she helps me redo my hair and low and behold I'm a happy camper. Anyone "from" the 90s knows it's giant round brushes and curlers... oh and you can not forget the moose!! I wash my hair a few days later and my worst nightmare was a reality. I then obsess and find countless videos on achieving layers, 90s layers etc later... every... single...video... the hair was CUT when wet and strategically sectioned off. Not one person cut it dry and after curling.
