I absolutely love my haircut! This is the first time I've ever had someone truly understand how to cut my curly hair. He took so much time working through every section of my hair, carefully removing the frizz and dead ends without taking off too much length. He washed my hair, styled it, and then went back through it again to refine everything--trimming any loose curls, uneven pieces, or frizz and layered it, so the final result looked clean and balanced. You can tell he really cares about the details and about doing curly hair the right way. He was also incredibly gentle and surprisingly quick while still being thorough. The whole experience felt really comfortable, and my curls have never looked this healthy or defined. If you have curly hair and struggle to find someone who actually knows how to cut it properly, I highly recommend him. I'm so happy with the result and will definitely be coming back! I found a new stylist!! read more

Levi will not call himself a curl expert so i will call him a Curl Genius! Levi KNOWS curls folks!!! I lived 20 years in NYC and started my CG (Curly Girl) journey at Lorraine Massey's (Author of "Curly Girl: The Handbook"!) DevaChan Soho salon and had the luxury of being in the hands of many great curl experts through the years. But when I moved to OC six years ago, and with Covid, any stylist was hard to find, and curl stylists...well, I ended up resorting to CG youtube videos. Over the past few years I went to a few stylists who claimed to know curls, but honestly, my own "handiwork" was just as good (which is not saying much!) But thanks to Yelpers, Levi popped up as a curly stylist with rave reviews. Levi takes the time to get to know you, your lifestyle, where you are on your curl journey, your curl pattern (and how there can be multiple!) and treats each curl with the respect it deserves! My hair is medium thickness with 2C curls. The finished product - beautifully structured, light clean bouncy curls. I could even put my hand through my curls (no "don't touch my hair!" lol). Oh, and I need to mention how sweet he is! The next day was a workout day so I didn't even try to retain Levi's magic and pulled my hair up into a scrunchie and went to bed. The next AM I took out the scrunchie and my hair still looked amazing! I misted a lil water on my hair and off to the gym I went just "to see". At the gym, I got 6 compliments (yes, I counted lol) with one saying how young my hair made me look! So yes, if you have frizzy/wavy/curly hair and have been considering embracing your "inner curl", I do recommend Levi. Highly. (Sorry I did not post a before/after pic, but so appreciate those who did!) read more

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 :) read more

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. read more

I am in awe of Levi's hair styling! The moment he said "Okay, tell me about your hair", I already know it's gonna be a great appointment! He's professional, kind, friendly, and he will listen to what you want to achieve with your hair, how you want to look, and will help you with what to do in the future in terms of conditioning and styling. Thank you so much, Levi! Stay amazing! read more

I hadn't had a haircut in over a year, and I'm so happy with the curly haircut I got from Levi!

I knew coming in that I wanted a pixie cut, but I was also super nervous because it was my first time getting this type of haircut. Levi did an amazing job easing my nerves throughout the whole process. Before starting, he talked with me to get a better understanding of what I was looking for and offered some considerations based upon the inspo pics I provided. He made sure to let me know what to expect as he went along his process of cutting and shaping my hair. He even provided helpful tips how I could better maintain and style my curls on my own. Overall, Levi was very kind and attentive. At the end of the appointment, I absolutely LOVED my haircut. Any doubt about getting a pixie cut went out the window once I saw the final look. read more

Levi is the man! Premium quality work, clean studio, and is a delight to be around. Curly hair for men & women is his specialty and as someone with curly, dense, frizzy hair, he's got me covered. Forever returning customer, thanks Levi! read more

Levi is such an awesome person and a fantastic person to go to for your hair woes. I had been trying to embrace my natural waves for years, but had no luck getting the process down. Levi took the time to walk me through every step of the process and I walked out with curls I never knew I was capable of maintaining. I've since been able to replicate his directions and reduce the usage of hot tools on my hair. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Loved the individualized attention and Levi's expertise. He gave me thoughtful insight and did a great job with my hair. Highly recommend!

Levi is talented, professional, and a delight to work with. I recently discovered I have wavy hair after a lifetime of thinking it was straight. I've been trying every curly/wavy hair routine I can learn, but I just wasn't sure about my technique. I also needed some shaping of a cut I got for straight hair. Levi shaped my blunt bob into something much better for wavy hair and gave me some great tips for styling and product. Highly recommended! read more

Best haircut experience!! Levi knows curly hair method and i was super impressed with his cutting technique. When he was done it was cut just the way I wanted it, no more no less & the pattern of my curl was done to perfection!! His station was decorated nicely and everything was neatly stored. As a first time customer this caught my attention and gave me confidence that he paid attention to detail in his work. I was not wrong. When he was done I was 100 percent loving the final product. read more

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! read more

He did a fantastic job! My hair isn't necessarily curly, more wavy. He took the time to understand what I wanted and was able to style and cut my hair so it's both manageable for my lifestyle and look AMAZING at the same time. Great conversations and even got to chatting about some great music. Super Covid conscious, which definitely makes things more comfortable as well. 100% reccomend read more

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. read more

Best curly haircut I've ever received in my life!!! My fine, thinning, stringy hair now has volume and I can wear it down, curly rather than in a messy bun for the first time in 15 years. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! read more

Levi's professionalism and his experience sets him apart from the average hair stylists, he truly raises the bar. He cares about your health, makes it easy by providing you with a Covid-19 test at a very reasonable cost, I've sent him my vaccination card, he'll even provide you with a KN95 mask, my appointments are lengthy because he transforms black hair to this warm blonde. I've had a couple of appointments now and I've always been satisfied with my color, the attention to detail is incredible, he uses high quality products, he knows I swim a lot, so he gave me instructions on how to protect my hair color from pool chlorine. Please give him a call, your hair will thank you. read more

MY FIRST TIME GETTING A CURLY CUT WAS AMAZING. I was ready for a change with my hair, and Levi knew exactly how to help me achieve the change I was looking for. He was extremely patient, provided great feedback, and let me know how to style my new luscious locks. As a curly hair girl, I have never felt seen or felt so much comfort at a hair salon before. Levi and his daughter made my Saturday morning, and my first curly cut an experience I will always remember! 100% recommend if you're on the hunt for a curly hair specialist! read more

So many reasons to book an appointment with Levi! 1. He cares about your health and well being during a time where a visit to the hair salon could be where you get the Rona. Levi text to request a copy of my vaccination card a few days before my appointment and had me do a rapid test right before going inside. You can either bring one or buy one from him. Make sure to check in advance the one you plan to bring is what he requested. Masks were also required of course and if you don't have a good one he is happy to provide a kn95. I was not asked to take of my mask at any time and for the first time in two years, I was able to relax while I got my haircut and just enjoy having a conversation while he worked his magic. 2. Levi is a hair wizard. Yes, I said HAIR WIZARD. He honestly made it so effortless as he trimmed and shaped and brought life back to my sad head of hair, all while maintaining the most pleasant demeanor and keeping great conversation about interesting topics. How does one qualify as a hair wizard you ask? My test is if I can wash and blow dry my hair, then go to sleep and wake up the next day still with my hair looking fabulous, then the stylist is clearly a wizard. This has only happened with a handful of stylists that I've had over my lifetime and I can't tell you how excited I am to have discovered Levi! My hair shows every blunt snip and will not hide any mistakes so it took mad skillz to cut it so perfectly. Levi's 16yrs of experience as a stylist and solid work ethic really reflects in his work. 3. Oh my gawd are his prices reasonable! And please remember he is providing a service and is self employed so please be generous with the tipping! That good karma will come back to you! 4. There was ample parking and the salon only has one chair so not only does it make it safer but YOU are his only focus for the time you are there. 5. Appointment was so easy to book online. Just follow the link on Yelp. You get a text and email confirmation, and he texts to confirm again the day before. So if you've read this far, what are you waiting for?!! Go book that appointment! You can message me on Yelp to thank me afterwards! read more

I'm embarrassed on how long it took me to write this review .. I HAVE BEING LIVING MY BEST HAIR LIFE EVER SINCE MY APPOINTMENT. I have extremely curly hair (mixed) and I cannot stress enough how much I love my hair. From the beautifully blended highlights to a perfect cut! Levi truly cares about your hair goals and getting your hair exactly how you want it. I will ONLY be going to Levi from now on. I have gotten so many compliments on my hair. ATTENTION ALL CURLY GIRLS BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENTS NOW. My hair has never been healthier and the fall highlights are amazing. Also prices are very reasonable for curly hair. The pictures do not do it justice but if you are looking for someone who understands curly hair , you find the right person. (I will take some better photos and add to the review) read more

I wanted to wait until my hair grew out to write this review. I have never had a hairstylist understand my hair and myself better than Levi did. Going in he asked me what I like about my hair now and what I don't and together we found how we would cut it. He must have thought eight steps ahead because three months later my hair is looking the best it ever has in its life. He knew how my hair would grow but not only that he knew what I like my hair to look like and made sure that not only on the day of the cut but three months later I would love it and it feels like me. Levi is a true artist and anyones hair would be lucky to have him. read more

The best hair stylist I've experienced in my 31 years on this earth. My husband and I both started getting haircuts by Levi in Fall 2021 and I wish I had found his Yelp page sooner. We wasted so many years at local Great Clips, but no longer! Levi knows exactly what he's about, he's great for conversation while in the chair, plus he's so safe and considerate re covid. Awesome all around. read more
