I've been coming to this place for about 5 years now and it never disappoints!! I highly recommend Jennifer, who I stood by since my first consultation 5 years ago. She's done all my crazy color phases to my basic brunette and my hair always comes out looking healthy. Also, she's one of the few stylists I've met that understands how to deal with my curly, frizzy, hair that has lots of baby hairs! Bonus!! I've also done a Brazilian blowout with her, which I will continue to keep up with because it made my frizzy hair way more manageable!! Every time I book an appointment, I'm always one of 2 or less clients there completely spaced apart and it's always clean (even before COVID). read more

There is no one else I let touch my hair except for Jen from Kanvas Hair Studio. I've had so many different hair stylists totally mess up on putting color into my hair and Jen makes me so beautiful every time! She takes her time to make sure you get the color you want without completely frying your hair and is SO good with the blending that even when all the color fades, my hair looks like a perfect balayage!! The salon itself is beautiful and modern and totally instagrammable if you're into that stuff lol. Also, I went to get my hair done during covid and I felt super safe and everything was super clean :) read more

Kanvas Hair Studio - blue hair !!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I love this hair studio and have been going to them for about 3 years! Their interior design is very inviting and modern. Their COVID measures have been well thought out! They "X" out every other chair to ensure people are socially distancing. Masks are required during the service. Even though the wash bowls are shared they are wiped down and allowed to air dry between customers (chair + bowl)! The number of customers are also limited in the studio. My go to hair girl is Jennifer and she is the queen of fantasy color! She is very knowledgeable and provides you with information on how bleaching and hair coloring works. I have been constantly doing copper and she adds more variety to it by bringing in different shades of copper! Its always exciting going in for a visit! I would highly recommend :) read more

You need to come here and ask for Krystal!! I have gone to so many places to get my hair cut and styled and this is by far the best place I've been to.

I have been going to this salon for over a year and definitely love it, I tell everyone about it because I'm very picky w my fine hair and Jen knows how to deal with my hair. When I came to Jen I had been wearing extensions for almost 3 years non stop and my hair needed a break. It went from fine and shapeless to super gorgeous and more full. Of course I'm taking vitamins and putting oil in my hair as well but going to Jen for frequent trims has been my secret to having the healthy length I have. The other thing about Jen besides her skill is her honesty, she never overcharges and is fair and has great prices. Definitely coming back for my next trim. read more

Kanvas Hair Studio - Jen is amazing at doing my hair!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This review is for my girl Jen Ho! This woman has taken great care of me throughout the years. I went from dark brown hair to really light almost blonde hair. I'm Hispanic so the orange is inevitable however not with Jen! Very speedy, great haircuts and never overcharges. She helped me go from chunky ugly highlights to more natural sun kissed highlights. Great at balayage and love getting a blow out, that's my fave. I make an appointment every 4 months and looks like my time is coming up! Thank you for always helping me look good girlfriend! read more

Highly recommend this salon! It's clean and modern, with all the Covid protocols in place. My stylist Jen is the BEST! I've been seeing her for a few years now and have referred countless friends to her- she does a stellar job with it all- from balayage to men's haircuts. My boyfriend is really picky about his haircuts and he was so impressed after going to her. She is really skilled with Asian hair and fantasy colors, has reasonable prices, and is so friendly and easy to talk to. A true gem tucked away in the middle of OC! read more

I have visited before when the business was alkali, but under this new management, Kanvas has a more relaxed feel with super nice, knowledgeable and informative hair stylists. At every step, the stylist (Krystal) told me what she was doing and why. There were no surprise and I absolutely LOVED the outcome. They do everything from children, women, men and everyone in between. While I was there, another stylist did a grandmother, jer daughter, and her child granddaughter. Three generations making memories at Kanvas. I got hair color, hair cut, brazilian blowout and styling. And did I mention that I absolutely LOVED my service? :) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND KANVAS 5+ out of 5 start service. read more

I've been coming to Kanvas Hair Studio for less than a year but I'm so glad I found Krystal. She always gives me exactly what I ask for. I literally don't trust anyone with my hair except for Krystal. She's very informative and detailed. I would usually get a hair cut once a year because I could never find an amazing stylist. I just had my 4th appointment with Krystal and she kills it every time. Definitely will continue to come to Kanvas with Krystal!! read more

Jennifer H. has done my hair for a couple of years now and she does an amazing job! I've had everything from balayage to a simple haircut and always get so many compliments on my hair. She really listens to what you would like for your hair but is also very realistic about what you can expect from the color, bleaching, etc. Haircuts always grow out well and she is very meticulous about making sure everything is even and looks fantastic! I recently went in for a haircut and felt very safe during COVID, everyone was masked and they limited the number of people in the salon at a time. read more

AMAZING! She did exactly what I wanted and was super helpful/friendly! I like that the studio was small and quiet which gives a more comfortable feel. Jamie is the best and I'll definitely be back! :) See pics below. read more

I have had Betty as my number hairstylist for years now. Every time I go get my hair done I am more obsessed with it than the last time (which didn't seem possible hahah). The rest of the staff at Kanvas is always so welcoming and make sure I'm taken care of while I wait. Absolutely LOVE this salon. read more

I have been to Jen for 5 years now, and she's fantastic. She is always willing to talk about the changes I want to make, look at photos with me for inspiration, or describe a process in detail when I'm just curious and asking a million questions. She will truly strive to give you the perfect color or look, and won't stop until it's just right. Jen genuinely loves what she does, and it shows. I have never left disappointed. I am in awe of her skills! The salon itself is typically quiet when I've gone, so Jen and I can just chat about whatever we want, or just chill and listen to music. She's great at reading her clients needs and isn't pushy or invasive. She's the best! read more

I highly recommend Jen Ho and this salon! I've been going to Jen for years and have loved every haircut! On top of her great skills, she is reasonably priced. I've continued to go to Jen and this salon during COVID and have felt very safe. read more

Krystal has been styling my hair for a few months now. She's a delight! She's very patient and has great Customer Service skills. My hair was a mess the first time I went to see her. She listened to what I wanted and made sure I was comfortable because she knew I was not happy with the other results with the previous stylist. She was not the type of stylist that just does what you tell them, she takes the time to suggests other options on what is better and go from there. She fixed my hair and made me feel amazing. Every step she did, she was telling me what she was going to do next. I'm glad I came here. You rock Krystal. read more

This review is long overdue...I was stranded in Santa Ana during "Flightmare2022" and spent 3 days in a hotel across the street from Kanvass. Since I was stuck, I decided to make an appointment to get my hair done and it turned out to be THE BEST hair color I have every had! CHEYENNE is an amazing and talented artist and a delightful person to spend the afternoon with. I am so thrilled with my hair, I can't tell you how many compliments I still get on it everywhere I go. I have had many color jobs and CHEYENNE, was so skilled and creative, painting and blending 3 colors into my hair for an absolutely beautiful, bright finished look. My only worry, is finding someone here in WA who can achieve the same. I may have to plan a trip just for my hair! Thank you, CHEYENNE! I can't recommend her and the salon enough. This is the place for beautiful hair! read more

I have had nothing but amazing service here. My stylist is Krystal & I am so amazed by her work & service. Getting my hair done has always been scary for me (especially cuts) & Krystal has never disappointed! I find it hard to find a trustworthy & helpful stylist so I am so happy I found someone who always makes me feel like every decision is mine in the process. She explains every step to make sure you end the with final result you want! read more

Kansas hair studio - formally known as Alkali salon is a very very nice salon. All stylists seem nice, but.. KRYSTAL IS A VIBE, IS A MOOD, IS AMAZING!! She is a joy as a stylist! She is so kind and the most relatable hair stylist I've had, I haven't had many, BUT! I feel like in a world full of any other stylist (and not trying to bash any hair stylist, because I love the personal care industry (barber partner)) Krystal just has a cool vibe that just makes me want to come back to her for services. I get so comfortable, I even take micro naps while getting my hair done. My first time with her was LIFE CHANGING. Her hands did some magic and I felt so confident and it really helped where I was at in life then... but with that said, Krystal, if you're reading this you fckn rock! To her boss, management, the gods, the world universe etc...: DO EVERYTHING TO KEEP HER STYLIN' // BLESS THIS MAGIC HAIR LADY Overall: If you're on the fence about it, COME. Get your hair done here - FOR SURE. (Even if not booked with Krystal, you'll be in the comfort of great hands and kind stylists.) I recommend going to Krystal for your first hair dye job, and just about everything else under the sun. Kanvas hair studio is a YES in my book read more

I am so happy to have found Krystal at Kanvas hair studio! She was recommended to me by my coworkers and she is awesome! I've been going to her for about a year and a half and I always love what she does with my hair with both cut and color. She totally gets my vision and works with me to figure out my needs. I have a lot of gray and hair and she came up with a good solution to cover my gray roots and prolong the grow out. She also just did highlights on me and they look great! I definitely highly recommend her! read more

I am blown away by Krystal and her hard work ! She is a magician. I loved my transformation. My hair has never looked better - thank you ! U are amazing ! read more

I've been coming to this salon when it was still Alkali Salon. They just recently changed their name. And my go to gal is Jennifer! Trust me she's AMAZING!!! I remember going to another place once and spent 8 hours at the salon. At the end of the day, my hair was dead and dry. With Jennifer, she really takes care of my hair and makes sure it's healthy and beautiful. And I haven't gone anywhere else since. Jennifer is amazing with coloring hair. I've done lilac, pink, gray, balayage, and ombré. And the thing is, even when the color fades, it fades nicely and isn't some ugly color. The other hair stylists are very nice too. I haven't gotten my hair done by other hair stylists but I can see their work while I'm being worked on and they all do amazing work. Sometimes I get inspired for my next color from them haha. Long story short, everyone here is amazing and you won't regret getting your hair done here! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would! First of all it was my first time coming to Jamie and I seen her pictures on ig and it looked very good unfortunately my hair is a disaster. Not only am I left with a color I clearly didn't asked for and also completely opposite from the pictures I showed her!! She went to wash my hair and there was no conditioner!! So my hair was left knotted while she was brushing it out AND while she was washing my hair she left my whole back wet, my mask soaked literally!! Not only that there were pink stains left on my scalp. I had to go home right away and try my best to lighten the magenta to a more lighter pink (which I clearly wanted) She was completely just lazy and the amount of money I paid to have her just fuck up my hair!! NEVER coming here again!! read more

I made my appointment online and showed up on time for my 1st time there. I tried opening the door but it was locked and I saw there was a stylist inside with a client. I tried knocking and nobody opened the door for me ! She even saw me ! I even tried calling but no answer. Yeah how unprofessional and rude read more

Thank you Jamie for  actually listening to what I wanted and executing it beautifully. My cut, color and your personable demeanor give you a 5 star plus in my book! I'm looking forward to my next appointment. You're amazing! read more
