I had a great experience at SAGE! The salon is located at a beautiful courtyard. On the second…read morefloor, is their space with a lovely designed interior. 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!

I had such a great experience at SAGE, especially with Colby!…read more From the moment I arrived, everyone was welcoming and the salon itself is beautiful. 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.

GABE is my go to hairstylist here. He does all of my haircuts, styling, and so on. I have been…read moregoing to him for quite some time, and he always gets everything done RIGHT. I have thick, stubborn, and coarse hair. Most people one can't style or cut my hair correctly. Only Gabe. I have recommended him to my friends and family over the years and they keep coming back to him as well. Additionally, he did hair in Italy for some high profile clients. I'm SO happy I found him when he came back to the USA. The salon is nice and the other stylists seem friendly. I haven't gone to them for their services yet, but if I am in dire straits and if I don't have GABE available, I would happily go to them. Mimi is SO sweet and so is the Italian salon owner. That said, I really enjoy coming here. The decor of the place is charming, the atmosphere is nice, and everyone here is very friendly for the most part. I will continue to go to this salon for as long as Gabe is here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Sarah is a gem of a human being, and an incredible hairstylist on top of it. She has a remarkable talent for cut, color, styling, perm, all of it. And her pricing reflects the humble and honest person she is (more than fair). She is so sweet and easy to talk with...and actually listens to what your hair goals are (whereas most stylists will end up doing what they want to do/think looks best half the time). I have very fine, straight, lackluster, short hair which I never loved...until the day I met Sarah. She gave me the confidence and joy I always prayed for. I now get so many compliments on my hair, and have Sarah to thank for it. Love you Sarah!! Make an appointment here...you will not regret it!

I've been going to Thao at Hair Society for several years now. She was the first person to ever…read morecolor my hair, back when I still had virgin hair. 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.
