Diana is incredible! I have extremely long hair that was overdue for a cut. I asked her for long layers and the final product was exactly what I had wanted. She also is so nice and personable and made the experience so fun! read more

Me and my two daughters all go to this location and we have never been let down once. I think we have been going here for about five years. We love Christina and then recently discovered Pam. The price is always affordable, the service is always done correctly and the expectations are always exceeded. I hope this place never closes! read more

I brought my daughter here on Sunday May 10th for a haircut but she also wanted a few chunky light pink highlights. She told me she could do it. So I left run some errands. I came back and my daughter's hair was ruined. A foil bled and she had a bleach stain. She didn't even tone her hair. My daughter was crying. We went straight to the Aveda salon and they were able to fix it. I am so disappointed that she tried to pass off her work as acceptable. We will never come back here. I wish I could get my money back. read more

There's a reason why this place is only 3 something stars. Yes, you'll get the hair cut. A trim is mediocre at best. But if you want better quality and proper styling, go anywhere else but here. As for hair color, you'll get a color for your hair but a different shade than the one you requested. A brown shade they make is the same for every light brown, moderate brown, and dark brown. For them, brown is just one color. Now as for customer service, they will welcome you for your money like any other business. But if you ask for proper repair for their inferior work, good luck talking to someone who has an ounce of empathy or proper customer experience. Stay away from this place. You'll save your money and get proper styling somewhere else. read more

This place is right by my house and I decided to give it a try. Paul did my hair and he did a great job and did it all so fast yet efficiently! He is also so nice and we had a great conversation. I will be coming here from now on! read more

Poor skills and low quality of product use. Staff are unprofessional in their communication.

I want to know the price for a haircut since it is not listed. It seems a little shady. They didn't show me a printed menu with prices on it. I just got a cut and blow dry done very quickly and was charged what would seem like a cut price. They are not listed on the website. I am pretty sure I was ripped off big time! read more

I have been coming to see Hoa for several years now. She does a great job cutting my hair, I never have to wait long and the salon is always clean. This has been my 'go to' for a while now. The staff is also friendly and helpful. read more

Ashley listened very carefully to what I needed. I'm in a transition color period and wanting to use more of my natural color. Ashley blended everything perfectly. She also was careful to do a good job on my haircut. Shaped it to manageable and attractive length. read more

So happy I found HairMasters! I walked into Hair Masters this morning for a quick trim and was able to be taken as a walk-in. I had hair extensions for three years and was ready to take it out. Shahaz was able to trim my hair to make it look full and reduce the appearance of damages. She also added low lights to make my hair look more healthy! Bonus! The prices are insanely good! I would pay double for the cut and color I received today. I have been raving all day to friends and family. read more

CHRISTINA KILLED IT!!!! I've been all over looking for the best hairdresser and I can say I have found it. I stoped by for a walk in and without a hesitation they made some room for me accommodating to my schedule. As for my hair, I have dark brown hair and she was able to make it platinum in one sitting. Absolutely amazing work by her. Thank you so much !!! read more

My kids have been getting their hair cut by Diana for the last 3 years and we love her! She is so patient, listening to how they want their hair cut. And the ending result is always fabulous! Highly recommend her! read more

On a positive note, I've been going HairMasters for many years and Chau has done an excellent job in coloring, cutting and styling my hair. I give Chau 5 stars. On the negative note, management recently added cameras around the salon. I understand a camera facing the cash register, but not where I'm getting my hair done. It feels like management is spying on customers and it's employees. Are we being filmed? If so I do not consent to it. Does management not trust its stylists? It doesn't reflect a positive friendly, trusting environment for customers and stylists. Please consider removing them. read more

Had a haircut with Diana today and was very happy with it! She asked me good questions about the style I was looking for and gave me good suggestions. Thank you! read more

This review is for the stylist, not the salon. Chau has been cutting my hair for nearly 20 years and all 5 stars are for her. She always takes her time, gives me a great layered cut and is just a very pleasant person to be with. However, SHE HAS MOVED TO A NEW SALON. I've learned she is over at Shadows Hair Salon on Barranca. For anyone else that didn't know and is looking for her, she is there. Very nice salon and the price is the same. She even gave me a discount for following her. read more

If you want a trusted hairstylist and true professional I highly recommend Diana, I have been going to her for a couple of years now and does amazing at coloring and styling each time I go, she's very attentive to her clients and follows up with you afterwards, I'll definitely come back just for her. read more

I'm a caretaker that take care of a 88 yr old woman and though she hasn't complained about the prices she had to pay before her best friend who is 90 yrs old has complained about how high she has to pay for just a shampoo and set , it's unfortunate that we can't find a salon closer I'd say in the Costa Mesa area for my clients best friend but, she comes to us and then we go together to HairMasters hopefully this won't be our last time because they really like the price they had to pay , i didn't get the woman's name who took care of my clients best friend she gave her and excellent hair cut and Kim helped my client out , my clients curl lasted longer than when she went to another salon I guess i didn't press the post review when i typed out the above but we've been back twice already and my clients love it. Just wish some of the salon agent would give my clients friend the 90 year the set with the actual curlers that are put in individual instead of blow drying and using the round brush on her like she would like read more

The ladies are nice, but I would only recommend that you visit them for a trim and nothing more. Overly priced and little skills.

Chau has been my go-to stylist for the past 5 years (men's haircut). I only needed to explain my preferences the first time, and I've gotten a consistent haircut ever since, every two months, without having to ask her to go back and fix something after she's done. She's friendly and knowledgeable (even had a great recommendation for a hair transplant specialist that I ended up using). And the business has great ventilation, so it doesn't have the chemical smell that other hair salons have. Try her out! read more

This review is for Cristina. She gave me highlights about three weeks ago. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she gave me something even better. I never get my hair done so this was a very special and exciting for me to do for myself. I was very pleased with how it turned out and how it's been looking! She is very sweet and you can ask her any question without feeling dumb like me not having much knowledge on hair care. I will definitely come back when needed to retouch my highlights along with future haircuts with her. Thanks so much Cristina ! read more

I came in for a shampoo, haircut, and blowdry. I requested for a layered hair cut. A blonde, young-looking hairstylist came up to me and said to follow her (I think, her name might be Ashley since that's what I saw on the name card on her booth)...I was hesitant at first because I've never had her before (I've been to this place before and had my hair cut by the Asian stylists and Diana there and I had good experience with them), but I thought it's just a layered haircut, it should be easy. Well, my hair cut turned out to be so choppy. I don't think my hair stylist knows what she's doing. It looked fine after the blow dry, but any hair cut will look good after styling and a blow dry. I could still see it looking choppy even after the blow dry, but it was worse after I already shampooed and air dried my hair. I had to have it redone in a different salon to make my hair look better. If you want a good haircut in this place, make sure to get the older hairstylists, or the Asian hairstylists...they are always so much better and an expert on what they are doing. read more

Min Kim at Hair Masters is THE BOMB!!! He is a color MASTER- truly, a haircut MASTER - for women's little trims, big changes, and for men's cuts as well, and he makes every salon visit a fun experience with his passion, enthusiasm and friendliness. Min is a gem of a human being and a true HAIR MASTER! With over 25 years of experience, he is my go to guy for all things hair. After a year with him now, I trust him implicitly and would follow him anywhere. The many beautiful, sweet, talented ladies at Hair Masters are wonderful to be around also- I just haven't used them before :-) Thanks Min! read more

Chau Tran is the best! I've had three haircuts by her, after years in Irvine trying to find a barber who gives a consistently great men's haircut! read more

They are welcoming, professional, knowledgeable. Rona and Loann are true experts and listen to what you want. It's difficult to find someone who really knows how to style and color. I'm brunette and have highlights...the highlights look great and not brassy. I would definitely recommend going there before the holidays. read more

Went in to get a haircut and I asked the price and she said we charge an extra four dollars for Covid. Lol I said I don't have Covid she said because of Covid it's four dollars extra. Ummm is this a thing? No thanks. read more

I am very upset with the way. The lady left my hair !!I showed the lady a picture of what I wanted and she told me no that's ugly I'll give u something similar like what the hell and when I walked in ther asking for a wolf cut she had no clue so she starts cutting my hair telling me that I would have to have a different type of hair for that hair cut but that's bull shit ok so many ppl with different hair types that have that cut as she was cutting my hair I noticed it was uneven I asked her to make it even she proceeded to say no it's supposed to be uneven then when I got home I noticed instead of a wolf cut she gave me some 1950's bull shit now my hair is all chopped up unevenly and I'm having trouble styling it really pisses me off I want my damn money back read more

Forgot my mask.. they can provide one but they will charge 79 cents for a mask that cost 10 cents.. why to overcharge so much of you want my business? It's not the money, it's the principle. So many places give a free mask in case you forget yours, and you charge for it much more (in %) than it really worth. Not a good service, and not recommended. read more

Diana does a great job every time! She takes such good care of her clients and does everything she can to give you what you want. Even I had changed my mind on a balayage and came back a couple days later, she gave me beautiful highlights free of charge! My hair is perfect thanks to her read more

I've been coming here regularly since my first review and continue to be extremely pleased with how Yesenia cuts my hair; she takes pride in her work and really listens to how you want your hair done. Plus I enjoy our conversations. On top of that, the price still can't be beat. read more

I am not sure why but it looks like Yelp deleted my last 5 star review so I will rewrite it. I have been coming to Hairmasters for at least 7 years now. With the exception of a couple of months where Chau was pregnant, she has cut my hair every other time. She does wonderful work and people have complimented me endlessly on the haircuts she has given me. She always makes time for appointments and is very flexible. She is pleasant and fast if you are in a hurry. If you have time, she can chat up a storm. Every haircut I have received always comes with a shampoo, and gel at the end which is perfect as many times I am going out afterwards. I highly recommend Chau if you are looking for a stylist. :-) read more

Pure Bate and Switch My wife was quoted a price of $85.00 to get her hair done here After the procedure she was told to pony up $145.00 What a unscrupulous place read more

They were nice to me so it feels bad writing this. I had grown out my hair for 4 months for this cut. I wanted short hair on the sides and a half inch trim on the top and front, covering more than half of my forehead as I am still trying to grow my hair out further. I explained this to her twice, showed her pictures of how I wanted it, she acknowledged that she understood what I wanted and appreciated me showing the pictures and said she could do that. She was doing fine at first and then went ahead and suddenly chopped 3-4 inches from front, and then also top. And she did it as a straight bowl like line without any texture. The front is literally at my hairline with my hair fully down. I don't understand how someone can do the opposite of what the client asked. It's so short I can't even style it. This is not what I asked for, I feel like someone took away my autonomy of what I want to look like and it feels horrible. read more

Came here bcuz of Christina. Shes amazing. Love the atmosphere here. Thank you!! Great place to get a cut! read more

I walked in this morning to this place, no one was at the front desk and all stylists were busy in the back. I looked for product I needed and did not find. I inquired about it to the first visible soul who was Courtney. She was extremely condescending as she looked at me and kept working, after I stood there for a few minutes and turned to walk out, she finally decided to reply my product was not available and pointed me to help myself to other brands.....did not even attempt to make herself available to answer any of my questions, she did not give two rats. As my transaction is rung up by another employee, I asked who was the manager of the place so I could report how rude and unfriendly Courtney was.....well, Courtney is the manager!! I am definitely not going back to do business where I was unwelcome. There are plenty of beauty stores that will gladly take my business. read more

HairMasters - Proof I was there and their survey website is having hiccups so I could not express my dissatisfaction with service received. - Hair Salons Near Me - Irvine, California

The fact I'm giving 3 stars is generous and has been my lowest rating so far on yelp. I've been coming here a while and usually had my hair done by Leila who was great but sadly doesn't work there anymore. I came in on Thursday for a wash/cut/blow dry and I did tell them on the phone that my hair is very long so that they are prepared for when I come in. The lady washed and cut my hair which was done good, but then when I asked why she wasn't going to blow dry it she said it wasn't written down and she is running late and on top of that needs to take her lunch break. A little disappointed I paid, tipped 30% in cash and walked out. I got to my car and realised how bad my hair looked without the blow dry so I went back into the hair salon to take a better look. I Walked out again absolutely furious at how they can let a client leave a hair salon with their hair in more disarray than when they walked in. I called them from my car in tears asking if I could use a hairdryer and do it myself. They told me to come back in so I did, and the lady said it's a liability for me to use their equipment so she said "I guess I'll work through my lunch break". No one else wanted to do it because it means they would have to split the tip and commission so I turned round and said no it's fine and left because I felt like the hairdresser was blaming me for them about to miss their lunch break. The hair dresser kept saying "no it's fine, I will do it" but after making me feel guilty I walked out. I will never go back here again if this is how they treat their regulars and doesn't do the job that I went in there for. On a separate note there was a lady sitting next to me not wearing a mask so for anyone who is covid-cautious I would be weary of coming here. Despite this I didn't ask for a refund for the inconvenience and I give them three stars as the price is pretty cheap and usually I have had my hair done well by different hairdressers. I also don't want to be too harsh as I understand times are tough in light of the pandemic. But the rest is the lack of organisation, incompetency and most of all their disrespect to customer service. read more
