    Krystal blessed my hair so many times! She always does the ideas I'm interested and exceeded anything I'd ever imagine! My hair always looks freshly done even months later with her amazing skills and I'm so thankful to have her as my amazing hair stylist

    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'm so grateful for Krystal because she is always honest and is incredibly thorough in her work. She has changed my look completely and maintained the health of my hair while doing so, and I swear every time I go for a touch-up my look gets better! Great conversation is a plus. Here's my most recent touch-up for proof:

    Jen is amazing at doing my hair!!

    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.

    This time I asked if we can go lighter, and Jen made it happen.

    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!

    Jen Ho is the way to go! I've been coming to her chair for a few years now and every time I leave smiling ear to ear. Not only am I satisfied by how clean and chic everything is but also my hair looks amazing every time! It's the professionalism for me!

    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!

    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.

    BOOK AN APPOINTMENT NOW WITH JENNIFER HO. She is amazing and I literally only trust her with my hair. She knows how to work with Asian hair and if you want some color she's the girl. Jennifer can work miracles and even took me to full blonde before. That's pretty hard with Asian hair but she did it. Love her so much! She's funny, full of knowledge and genuinely cares about your hair health! Dude if you're Asian and you want some blonde balayage then it is definitely worth your investment to come here!

    I absolutely love the atmosphere of this Salon. Jennifer Ho is my go-to girl! She has worked wonders on my hair and has brought it back to health. Thanks Jenn for the amazing customer service, i feel right at home.

    My husband and I have been going to Jen Ho for years, and definitely recommend her and this salon!! Jen is passionate about her work and knows how to take care of our hair. The salon is very clean and open, and they go out of their way to make us feel safe from COVID risks.

    Layered curly hair done by Jennifer Ho (my natural hair color)

    Love this place! I've been going to Jennifer Ho for almost 5 years ever since I chopped my hair off to shoulder length for the first time ever!! She really knows how to cut naturally curly & make it manageable in whatever style you choose to wear it. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced hair stylist! She's also lovely chat with at every appointment. Although I've never been to any other stylists here, I've heard nothing but great things about their quality of work. I will definitely continue coming here & recommend my friends & family in the future. :)

    Jamie got me a fresh awesome haircuts last time and I love it. She's so friendly and professional at work as well so I highly recommended for anyone.

    Lisa B.

    I've been going to this salon for over a year now. It is very nice, stylish and up to date! They are even updated for Covid with hands free everything in the bathroom and more! Jamie is my stylist and I love her! She takes the time to ask what you want and she talks to you and let's you know what she is doing every step of the way. She has really figured out my color and how to cover up my gray!! She keeps me up to date with all the new styles. And an extra plus with Jamie, she has worked at the Drybar in Fashion Island and can give a really good blowout and style when she is done!

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 remember feeling extremely nervous the first time I lightened my hair, worried about potential damage. Thao guided me through the entire process and reassured me that she would keep my hair healthy while also making sure it remained low maintenance. Over the years, I've gone from dark to light and back to dark again. Each time, Thao has been incredibly professional and patient. I remember sending her numerous inspiration photos, and she was always honest about what was achievable with my hair. Without causing any damage, she successfully lightened my hair without it ever becoming brassy. Keep in mind when you go light, you have to get it toned and maintain your hair or it could potentially get brassy. Thao is very personable and always makes me feel welcomed and comfortable--like she's not just my hairstylist but also my therapist. I constantly get compliments on my cut and color, thanks to her. Whether it's your first time getting your hair done or you've been coloring it for years and need someone new you can trust, I highly recommend Thao! Hair Society recently relocated and is now at Tomahawk Salon, located at 775 West 17th St, Costa Mesa, CA 92627.

When I first started going to her, my hair was super damaged and short, and over time she completely transformed it.

    This review took me months to write because reliving it is genuinely upsetting. I want to start by…read moresaying the stylist I saw, Caitlyn, is a sweet person but she destroyed my hair. I went to her in October for a refresh of my highlights. I was already nervous, since my previous stylist had moved away and always took great care of my fine hair, making sure it never got damaged. I told Caitlyn upfront that I was anxious about letting someone new bleach my hair, given a history of stylists frying it, and that I chose her specifically because she's a senior stylist. She reassured me she doesn't use heat dryers and starts with a low developer, so my hair would be fine. Once I was in the chair, I explained exactly what I wanted: a little brighter, a refresh of all my highlights, but keeping the dark root and dimension shown in my before photo. She agreed and got started. She never mentioned pricing, so I assumed it would be around $400 at most. During the appointment, she suggested going through my ends because they looked dark. I said maybe next time, since I wanted to preserve the integrity of my hair. Later, she mentioned she'd gone ahead and done a few extra pieces at the bottom anyway something I never asked for. By the time she finished washing my hair, it was already dark outside, so I told her not to worry about blow-drying it. I went home with wet hair. Even then, it looked extremely blonde, which worried me, but I assumed it was just because it was wet. At checkout, I was shocked: the total came to $650. I left a tip anyway because she was watching the screen as I paid and I felt put on the spot. (Receipts attached.) When I got home, my husband immediately said my hair looked way too blonde and pointed out broken pieces. He was right. Over the next few days, it kept breaking. My hair had taken years to get healthy, and in one appointment it became dry, brittle, and was falling out. The extra strands she did without asking only made the breakage worse. I ended up buying box dye to fix the color myself, since I hated how it looked. As of June 2026, I've had to cut at least 8 inches off, and I'm still working to repair the damage. This experience caused me real distress -- I loved my hair, and I deeply regret trying a new stylist. I'm sharing this so it doesn't happen to anyone else. Before, after, and current photos are attached.

Even though I only came in for a haircut, she took the time to give me honest advice about my hair. She recommended that I should focus on treating and restoring my hair first, and then come back next time for coloring so the results would look better and healthier. What really impressed me was her thoughtfulness -- she noticed that my roots had grown out unevenly in color, so she went ahead and blended the color to match the rest of my hair. And she didn't charge me anything extra for it, only for the haircut. You can truly tell that she cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. She's not only skilled but also very genuine and attentive. I will definitely be coming back to her again Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone talented, honest, and kind!
