Heather is one of a kind. The best hair stylist and colorist in Orange County. I have been coming to her for over 15 years. She is warm, friendly, and incredibly talented. Every client is treated like a member of her family. She takes time with every client, listens, and gives great input. She has never steered me wrong. Many colorists pretend to know how to lighten dark brown hair, and inevitably the hair turns orangish. Heather is a true artist, ensuring the color turns out perfectly every time. read more

Heather is an amazing hair stylist and colorist! She's so talented! This review is long over due because I've been going to her for over 15 years. She's incredibly knowledgeable about hair color and always creates the most beautiful balayage and natural looking color. She's also so sweet and such an amazing mom. Over the years, I've gotten to know her & I always love our conversations in her salon. She makes every appointment so enjoyable and always makes me feel beautiful when I leave. :) I highly recommend her! read more

I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Heather. I came to her in a bit of a hair emergency after having my hair colored and cut at another salon just three days earlier. I had gone in wanting a soft, dimensional brunette and somehow left with hair that looked almost black indoors, plus a haircut that was super uneven and completely disconnected in the back. I was honestly so upset and had no idea what could realistically be done so soon after fresh color. I was actually coming down to Irvine for the weekend (from the Bay Area) and, in full transparency, I found Heather through Chat(GPT) of all things! After explaining my entire hair situation, Heather was the very first person it pointed me toward. I then checked out her Yelp and IG and saw the beautiful work she does and reached out to make my appt (I told Heather that story during my appointment and she got a kick out of it). From the moment I reached out, she was straightforward with me that this would be a color correction and that she would do her best but couldn't guarantee exactly how far we could take the color safely. I appreciated that immediately because she never overpromised. Then I watched her work and completely understood that Heather is an absolute MASTER at her craft. She is such a perfectionist and pays attention to every little detail, but somehow she also works incredibly efficiently, diligently, and FAST. I kept thinking she was like a human AI for hair hahah. She was constantly assessing, sectioning, placing, checking, adjusting, and moving with so much purpose. There was never a moment where she seemed rushed, yet somehow my entire corrective color AND haircut were finished in around 2.5 hours (she also told me my hair lifted much quicker than expected). And the result... actual magic. She somehow took the heavy, flat, almost-black color and turned it into the most beautiful rich brunette with soft, dimensional ribbons throughout. It still feels dark and like "me," but now it has movement, depth, softness, and LIFE. She understood that I didn't actually want to become dramatically lighter, at least for now. I just wanted the harsh blackness broken up and softened, and she absolutely nailed it. She also completely reshaped the haircut. The uneven, disconnected pieces are gone, the edges look nice and even again, and the layers finally move and blend the way I originally wanted them to. What impressed me most was that she didn't just technically "fix" my hair. She understood why the original result wasn't working for me / my face and translated what I was trying to explain into something infinitely better than I could have expressed myself. She MORE than understood the assignment (bc shes obv a hair genius). I walked out absolutely in love with my hair. The only slight downside is that I live in the Bay Area, because I'm 1000% sure I now have a hairstylist in Irvine and will be making the trip down whenever I need my hair done. Heather (my hair angel), THANK YOU, GORGEOUS!!! I am so incredibly grateful. You took something I was genuinely so disappointed with and turned it into my favorite hair color I've ever had. You are ridiculously talented and truly a master of your craft. read more

Heather Hein Styles - Hair Stylists Near Me - Irvine, California

I'm seriously SO happy with how my hair turned out!! I'm naturally a brunette but have had highlighted hair 3 times this year and it was starting to feel pretty damaged. I really wanted to go darker and get back closer to my natural color, but still keep some dimension so it didn't feel too dark or flat. She completely understood what I wanted and absolutely nailed it! My color is so even and dimensional, and somehow my hair actually looks and feels healthier and shinier after getting it done. I'm obsessed with the color and honestly so happy with the whole transformation. I've been driving to LA forever to get my hair done and I'm so excited that I finally found my OC colorist!! read more

Update to my initial review: Now that I've washed my hair twice and styled it myself, I'm even more impressed with Heather's work. It's easy to love your hair when you first leave the salon, but this is the first time I've been just as happy with it afterward. The cut falls beautifully and is so easy for me to style on my own. Her pricing reflects her level of expertise and the quality of her work--I truly feel that the results are worth the investment. read more

I've been going to her since 2010, and I can honestly say she is the BEST! After 16 years, I still wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. She has been with me through so many different colors, cuts, styles, and all my crazy hair ideas and she always makes it look amazing. She's incredibly talented, honest, professional, and truly cares about keeping your hair healthy. She will always tell you what will actually work for your hair instead of just saying yes to everything. After all these years, she's more than my hairstylist, she's someone I completely trust. I always leave her chair feeling beautiful and happy. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

New review from a long time client. Without fail, as long as Heather is styling hair, I will be her client. What started as a recommendation from friend has turned into years of hair appointments that have exceeded any of the expectations I arrive with! There has not been a single time that I haven't left her salon feeling gorgeous. She is truly a gifted hair artist, and has seen me go from short hair to waist length hair and everything in between. What's been amazing about all the cuts and colors she's seen me through is that despite all the changes, her technique leaves me with hair that actually feels healthier. I'm also an out of town client, but when you find someone as talented as Heather, any kind of drive is worth it! read more

I think of Heather as the ultimate stylist, I mean, best of the best. The first year I went to her, I was utterly amazed at how knowledgeable she was about color and what she can do in a mere 90 minutes. She has a keen eye for what would look good on ANYONE. Her technical skills with cutting and coloring are wild. I've lived in LA and Chicago and have tried numerous high end stylists in Beverly Hills and Magnificent Mile and no one compares to Heather. Now after 15 years or so, I still come out of her chair feeling like a million bucks. Thank you Heather for sharing your art with the rest of us!! read more

It was heavy rain the day I got my hair done, and she kindly walked me out to my car with an umbrella I'll definitely be coming back many times. Highly recommend! read more

It was my first time booking with Heather, and I was a bit nervous because the last person who cut my hair completely ruined it. That experience was over a year ago, and I hadn't trusted anyone to cut my hair since. The salon was very easy to find, and her suite was just as convenient to locate. From the moment she greeted me, she made me feel comfortable and welcomed. Heather really listened to my concerns about my damaged hair and took the time to understand exactly what I needed. She truly brought my hair back to life. In less than an hour, she transformed it and made it look and feel healthy again. While her services are a bit on the expensive side, I completely understand why--the care, attention, and overall experience she provides are worth it. She definitely gained a returning customer, and I fully trust her with my hair now. Thank you, Heather, for such a great experience. I will absolutely be back! read more

I've been going to Heather for over 12 years, she truly knows my hair and always makes it look amazing. I recently went to Seoul and had someone else do my hair, and it was completely ruined. I even called Heather to help translate and guide them on how to fix it, but they refused. I ended up changing my flight and went straight to Heather as soon as I landed in LAX. She fixed everything. I trust her completely, there's no one better. She is my hair goddess! read more

This was my first visit with Heather, and trusting someone to cut and style my hair system (wig) was extremely stressful since it will not grow back. Heather was incredibly sensitive, patient, and kind from start to finish. She truly listened to my concerns, explained her process, and made me feel completely at ease. Her technique and attention to detail are exceptional, and the final result exceeded my expectations. Most importantly, she made me feel beautiful and confident. I am so grateful to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist they can truly trust!! read more

I was in search for a new colorist since my old one moved to NorCal. Asian hair can be a challenge to cut and color so I asked my Asian gal pals who they go to for their fabulous color and they both recommended Heather. She's quick on text, so communication was a breeze. Her Instagram is filled with before and after so I could easily see samples of her work before I even sent the chair. Her website is easy to navigate to make appointments. Her prices are on the higher end, but as you can see from my own before and after, it's worth it. You'll need to make a deposit before you book an appt but she applies it to your total at the end. As for the salon itself, she's inside the Sola suites which is on the backside of the shopping center (facing 99 Ranch, she's around to the right side of the building). Her suite is clean and her assistants are nice and take her direction well. Don't forget to tip them too! read more

I loved my hair... but it was giving swamp green and highlighter yellow. I spent too much to give up, so I found Heather on Instagram with 20+ years of experience--and honestly? Experience wins.

She was so kind to offer the best suggestions and really cared to understand what I wanted. read more

Heather cut my hair many years ago on which I based all my haircuts on following her amazing haircut. I think because I moved I ended up not seeing her for a while. Recently, someone gave me a haircut that grew out so poorly. I needed hair color correction and decided to make the drive to see Heather again, I'm so happy I did. For the last six months, my color hasn't faded as badly due to her recommendations and tips. Her haircuts are amazing because your hair grows out beautifully and that's how I can tell she has superb skill with the scissors. Most importantly besides making my hair look beautiful, she is a beautiful person inside and out and I get along really well with her. read more
