Kenneth Brown Salons - Hair Salons Near Me - Irvine, California

Thuie is an exceptional! I was referred by a friend to Thuie at Kenneth Brown Salons. I was going to my previous hair stylist for many years , but she moved out of the country so I was in search for a new stylist. So, of course, I had some reservations about working with a new stylist, but I'm so grateful that I found Thuie! I started out "safe" with Thuie and gone to her a couple of times to maintain my look and have always received nothing but the best services by her. Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting Thuie again, but wanting something new. Her expertise and attention to detail truly sets her apart from other stylists I've encountered. She patiently listened to my ideas and preferences while also providing valuable suggestions based on her expertise. I felt heard and understood throughout the process, which built a strong foundation for a positive experience. The skill and technique displayed by Thuie were exceptional. She carefully analyzed my hair texture and face shape, ensuring that the haircut they delivered was not only flattering but also aligned with my desired style. The precision and attention to detail were evident in the final result, which exceeded my expectations. Throughout the appointment, Thuie maintained a high level of professionalism. She was punctual, organized (has notes on what I did previously to my hair, etc), and created a comfortable environment. Her friendly and approachable demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable, and I felt at ease discussing my hair concerns and preferences. The customer service provided by Thuie was top-notch. She genuinely cared about my satisfaction and made sure to address any questions or concerns I had and also explained her steps along the way. Her friendly and attentive nature made me feel valued as a client, and I appreciated the personal touch she brought to the experience. The salon itself was clean, well-maintained, and had a welcoming atmosphere. The overall ambiance added to the overall positive experience, creating a pleasant and relaxing environment. I HIGHLY recommend Thuie to anyone in search of an exceptional hair stylist. Her skill, creativity, professionalism, and genuine dedication to customer satisfaction are truly appreciated. I left the salon feeling confident and thrilled with my new look! Thank you Thuie for the wonderful experience and outstanding service!!! I will definitely be returning for future appointments with Thuie! read more

I want to start off with saying that this salon is very clean and presentable when you first walk in. The staff is incredibly nice and accommodating to their customers. The front desk girls are wonderful, super sweet and have such positive attitudes. I'm always shy when they ask if I want anything to drink --to not be an inconvenience to them but their staff is so welcoming, I don't feel afraid to say yes to a nice coffee while getting my hair done. I want to give a BIG shout out to my stylist Allison who is such an amazing stylist and person who listens and also treats me with respect. I've always walked out feeling bright and beautiful and can't wait for the next appointment with her. I couldn't say enough nice things about my overall experience. I highly recommend this salon and her service. read more

I couldn't recommend Wilvert enough! His customer service is impeccable, he's open to ideas and has incredible suggestions. He has a talent for shade matching and truly has made me feel the most confident I have in years with my new cut and color. He makes you feel comfortable and refreshed. Will absolutely be rebooking. read more

Audrey Taylor is the best! First of all... she is just an amazing person to talk to! She takes her time and really cares about the process of highlighting/ styling! She is very honest, upfront, and does everything and anything to make your hair what you want while keeping it healthy! If you haven't been here before I highly recommend choosing her! You will not be disappointed! Thank you Audrey!!! read more

Wilvert is the BEST!! I truly did not want to write this as I don't want to share him lol Great listener, awesome suggestions, and an eye for detail. The salon is nice, bright and clean but parking is a bit of a nightmare. But on the other hand... Whole Foods is right there and picking up a few groceries with my new cut always makes me feel good. Ha! It's the little things! :) read more

After decades of virgin hair, decide I wanted some color. Thuie is absolutely THE BEST!!! She worked her magic & I LOVE my results. Definately the only one allowed to touch my hair. read more

My sister went and got a blowout done by Natalie and it was absolutely beautiful. So I made an appointment with another stylist , to try out the salon. I have short thick hair and all I asked for was a hair wash and blowout. She didn't rly take time washing my hair and didn't touch my lower scalp. And then when she was blow drying my hair she made comments about how fried it was. & the blow dry itself was eh. Not the biggest fan of when hairstylists make comments like that in an effort to steer you towards buying a product. Nice girl but the effort just wasn't there. read more

Allison R. Is great!! I've gotten haircuts and Brazilian blowouts with her. Always so sweet and does exactly what I ask for. Clean salon, highly recommend read more

Went in just to get my hair dyed to a dark chocolate brown. Beautiful salon and my hairstylist was pleasant. Why the two stars? There was dry hair dye all over the back of my lower scalp because she didn't wash out all the hair dye. It definitely wasn't from staining from the way it dried down to powder in my hair.:( For the amount of money that I'm paying, the basics should be washing out all the hair dye out properly before blow drying my hair. Never had this happen to me before. read more

Was recommended Thuie by someone whose haircut I admired when I asked her who she saw for a stylist. She shared her contact info and I messaged Thuie. She was so easy to work with, replied quickly with several appointment options and I scheduled. Thuie looked over my hair and my inspiratuon pics and Thuie nailed it! She really is such a knowledgeable and talented artist. It was such long time since I had someone with such precise skills in color and haircuts. Looking forward to my next visit Thanks so much Thuie read more

Daria is great, she took her time and gave me the cut I wanted. read more

I like my hair but I wasn't in love with it though. Alexandria was my hair stylist - she was sweet, informative, and knowledgeable. I just didn't feel the wow factor in my results which is fine cause I'd rather be safe than sorry. My hair felt healthy looking again from cutting all the dead ends. Color tone was natural and lightweight from thinning out. read more

I have been going to this salon for over a year and getting my hair done with the amazing Thuie! I have never had such an amazing haircut until I went to her. She is a professional. She makes the experience of getting your haircut something you look forward to. Thuie is super friendly and you can talk to her about anything while she makes you look beautiful! Cant wait for my next haircut/ hang out with Thuie! (: read more

I've been coming to this salon for quite a while now. We think Scarlet is great. I am not giving the salon a 1 star because of Scarlet. In fact if this review was solely based on our experience with Scarlet, I would give them 5 STARS!!! The reason I gave a ONE STAR is because of the customer service we received. When I called for an appointment, they said that my daughter and me would be able to have our services done by Scarlet but that I would have to opt for another stylist for my mom. This was fine since I figure they're a reputable salon and my mom had not been here before. The day that we had the service done, they notified me that since my mom wanted a pixie cut, they can only do the color since the stylist we were booked with did not do that type of haircut. The receptionist asked me if I wanted to come another day. I explained to her that it will be really hard for me to come another day since I work and I take care of my elderly mother, teenage daughter and a toddler. Plus it's the holidays and I really wanted all three of us to have our fair done for Christmas. If I were to come back, it will have to be after the new year. She told me that she was going to check her schedule and get back to me. Here is where I felt they handled the situation poorly. She (receptionist) never came back to tell me what the outcome of her search was. When I went to approach her at the front desk, she then told me that she didn't have anyone available and that we would have to come back another day. I tried to explain to her that I couldn't come back another day. I tried explaining to her my situation but her response was somewhat rude. She stated that she couldn't do anything for me and that I should have specified what I wanted when I booked the appointment. I'm sorry but I did specify that my mother needed a haircut when I booked the appointment. How am I supposed to know that not every stylist that worked in the salon are not trained to do a haircut for short hair. Wouldn't that be the responsibility of the person taking the calls to ask questions to your customers. Questions like what kind of haircut are you looking for so I can put you with the right stylist. Even when I told them that I wanted to do balayage, I asked if it would be best to come in for a consultation. So, I think I did my part in communicating what we wanted. Don't put it on the customer that they "did not specify the kind of haircut they wanted". Also, don't tell your customer that you're going to get back to them and leave them hanging. That's not good customer service and it's down right rude. read more

Kenneth Brown Salons - that fresh dark shine - Hair Salons Near Me - Irvine, California

Bright, vibrant, and libations at your request. My stylist, Audrey, recently moved to the Kenneth Brown Salons and she still gives me an amazing haircut and awesome conversation. The only thing that has changed since her move is that my drive is a little farther and the salon is much nicer. She cuts both men and women's hair and does color as well. In fact, my wife uses Audrey's superior coloring skills on the reg. I really enjoy the waiting area. It has a complimentary coffee bar, chilled water, and if you're having a, "me day" beer or wine while you shine! The receptionists have been different every time I go in, but they are always super friendly and inviting. The salon itself is pretty big and you don't feel like you're right on top of each other. The parking is is tricky. Normally it's great, unless it's lunch time and then it's pretty crazy and near impossible to find a spot. Just try to book a 10am appointment or early to mid afternoon spot. I booked a 3:30pm appointment and parking was a snap. Heads up, there's parking in the back of the salon too. Fellas, looking for a new person to clean up that fade? Audrey is your gal! read more

I absolutely love seeing Cristina Rees at Kenneth Brown salon. She's been doing my hair for 11 years. The color and highlights are amazing. She is never pushy and is always very kind and sweet. The environment is very fun inside the salon. I feel relaxed and taken care of when I leave. Enjoy read more

I love this salon! I've been to see Thuie three times now and have had great experiences. She is especially talented at getting a sense of what would look good. For example, I've had so many stylists who were more like technicians and copied pictures exactly. Thuie is an artist. I went the first time for a haircut and she helped me choose from a few pictures, giving me a beautiful haircut, styling tips, and products. She gave me suggestions like highlights to cover my grays and a Brazilian blowout. After cutting and styling, she went back in with scissors until she was happy. My second visit was for the highlights. I wasn't sure what to ask for but she showed me a picture on Pinterest and I agreed; I'm dark brown and she lightened me quite a bit but I still feel brunette. She gave me beautiful beachy curls for an event. Without even asking, she just came up with such a nice look. It's like she can read my mind with what I like! The third visit was for the Brazilian blowout. She was very attentive to my comfort, told me what to expect and how to maintain it, and I've seen great results! She texted me the next week to check in and see how I was liking it. She is very sweet, spends a lot of time with each client because she doesn't double book, and has such a great eye. I'm so glad I lucked into being assigned to Thuie!! Go to her if you like a little guidance and are open to suggestions to look your best!! read more

Taylor Lorden is AMAZING! She did my color/trim before my wedding and then my post-wedding "chop" and both were exactly what I wanted. After looking at reviews on yelp and her instagram portfolio, I decided to schedule an appointment with her. She did not disappoint! I have seen her twice within a month, and I will definitely be going back to her for future appointments. Pricing is very reasonable and she's down to earth and really cool to talk to, which makes the experience even better! If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. Thanks Taylor! read more

Taylor Lorden has been my stylist for 3 years now, and my favorite I've ever had in my 12 years of coloring my hair. I'm a bit whimsical with my hair, so every time I go in for an appointment, I want something different than the last lol! Taylor is always receptive to doing exactly what I want, and nails the color and style every time. Since I've been with Taylor, I've been long and blonde balayage. Short and bleach blonde. Short and dark blonde. Medium length and ashy blonde. Long and golden blonde. Basically you name the blonde and length, I've been it! Taylor's pricing is very reasonable for Orange County and the quality is top notch. I'm always so happy leaving the salon, and I've recommended about 8 people to her just in the past 2 years, who have all been returning clients for her. Also, I'm inclined to note that sometimes stylists can be a bit awkward to talk to. Taylor is SO easygoing and personable, which makes the time in the chair so much more pleasant! Definitely recommend Taylor! read more

I went to Kenneth Brown Salon in Irvine last week, my stylist name is Thuie she is amazing and talented in every way! She is the only person I trust with my hair. My color and cut look fantastic. I have already received so many compliments. Thank you so much THUIE ! read more

I'm not typically one to write Yelp reviews but Allison deserves to be acknowledged and recognized for her talented work! I've been going to her for over 5 years and wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. She is extremely passionate and knowledgeable. The salon is welcoming & clean. Highly recommend Allison, you won't regret it! read more

Taylor Lorden has been my hair stylist for 3 years now and she always does an amazing job making me as blonde as I want!

Couldn't have asked for better results. If you want gorgeous blonde hair, Taylor's your girl. read more

I was a new client who booked 2 weeks out. I spent 15 minutes looking for parking in the busy plaza and walked in to the receptionist telling me the colorist wouldn't see me because I was late. excuse me? mind you, I didn't even receive a confirmation call before the appointment nor did I receive a call asking what my ETA was when I was literally in the parking lot. I was hesitant about going to a "chain" hair salon and I can confirm they absolutely run it like a chain without an ounce of customer service. I will never visit a KB salon again. peace read more

I highly recommend this salon and absolutely love working with the stylist, Thuie! I originally went here a few months ago because it's near my work and I was in desperate need of a cut. The receptionist was very nice and made my appointment with Thuie. I didn't really know what I wanted going into the appointment, just knew I needed a big cut for my ends and some kind of change with color- open to what the stylist recommended and had a very vague inspo pic. Thuie did an amazing job listening to me and my needs, we had fun thinking out of the box and went with something very bold for my hair. From my experience the place is clean and has a nice energy, and if you have your appointment with Thuie, you are in the best hands! (Though I'm sure everyone is talented!) read more

ALEXANDRA IS THE ABSOLUTE COLORIST SHE PERFORMED MAGIC ON MY HAIR! The before and after pictures I posted speak for themselves but basically my hair was super over bleached from crappy hair colorists prior over processing it and layers of bleach and damage etc and then I made it even worse by trying to touch up my own roots with a pharmacy boxed hair lightener kit, which turned my roots orange and was super uneven, I looked like an electrocuted leopard it was horrible. Not only did Alexandra fix my color in record timing, but she also somehow improved the health of my hair by like 1,000%. This is the first time in like 2 years I've actually had soft hair I can run my fingers through after color vs hair that felt like a Brillo pad and it still had the color texture and lightness to it that I wanted (my natural color is practically black and I didn't want to go back to black despite the state of my hair, and Alexandra worked her magic and didn't make me have to). She delivered exactly what I had asked for (which believe it or not I find quite rare), fixed a hot mess, and she is also just the sweetest and easiest person to talk to the time flew with her she's lovely! Highly recommended, in fact she's a must for color! Never going to anyone else, thank you Alexandra you're my savior! Oh and the salon is very clean, everything sterilized and covid friendly you get temp checked, and masks required, the stations and all utensils are sanitized between clients, very nice and modern ambience, TV's in front of the sinks, can't recommend the salon and Alexandra in particular more! read more
