I've been going to Allen for 1 year now and he's the only one I trust/ go back to to get my hair done. I asked for a darker base with lighter highlights this time and it turned out SO GOOD, the photos don't do it justice. Allen did what he called Asian style highlights/ super highlights. It turned out exactly how I wanted and there was no damage/ breakage! My hair health is always great even after bleaching whenever Allen does my hair and it grows out nicely. I usually get my highlights redone after around 6-8 months and it always grows out nicely and pricing is reasonable. Allen is super meticulous, efficient, and always delivers quality work. Thank you Allen! :)

Highlight by Allen.

Been coming here for years. Allen never disappoints regardless what my asks are. Nice vibe. Great service the best hairdresser in town!!

Full highlights

I got full highlights, Allen knows what he's doing. He gave me exactly what I asked for and explained every step of the way in detail about his technique and his style choices. Drove from San Diego to get my hair done by him, would make that drive again!!

Haircut
Mona D.

I'm very happy with the quality of the haircut. Definitely one of the best haircuts I've had, and I highly recommend Allen to anyone who values a sharp, well-executed cut.

After!

Amazing cut and color with airtouch technique by Allen! His precision work with the hair-dye gave my hair a beautiful natural effect. Loved the haircut as well, my hair has movement and all of the length still. The salon has a peaceful and easygoing environment, he made it easy to tell him my requests. Easy to find from the parking lot.

natural balayage
Stephanie S.

I'm thrilled to have discovered Allen here on Yelp! Since moving to Irvine, finding the perfect hairstylist felt like a challenge--until Allen came along. His balayage technique is exceptional. Meticulous and attentive, he listens and makes sure you get exactly the color you envision. This time, I asked for a natural balayage and he absolutely nailed it! Allen works in a studio at Sola Salon, and his prices are very reasonable given the quality. He's also my go-to for haircuts, which I love every time. Thank you Allen, for making my balayage dreams come true. I'll definitely be a loyal client for years to come!

I've been getting my hair done with Allen for a few years now and I always want to come back every time. The highlights and coloring is exactly what I showed him. After leaving the salon my hair is still soft and not damaged. When my hair eventually does grow out , it's always blended super well. Couldn't recommend him enough!

Allen always does an amazing job at dying my hair the color i want! So kind and so quick as well!

This was my first time at MOC Hair Studio, and I told Allen I needed my hair to be darker and more blended for my wedding tomorrow. I showed him an AI photo, and he recreated it perfectly. He made sure my roots and my highlighted hair were seamlessly blended, and I was picture ready by the end of the session. I highly recommend him for anyone needing color correction because he did an amazing job on my hair!

Loved how my hair turned out in the end. We had a bit of a misunderstanding about the desired color at first, but Allen was very accommodating and willing to fit me in a few days later to correct it. It ended up looking better than I expected.

Before and after
Monica S.

I'm writing a long-overdue review for Allen. I have uneven hair color with a significant amount of gray, and this was my first visit. He took the time to properly assess my hair condition and listen to my concerns. He dedicated the necessary time to fixing my hair, and the results were fantastic. I can highly recommend him.

Before removing burgundy undertones.

I came in with dark brown hair that had burgundy undertones, knowing it would be challenging to lighten without bleach. Allen clearly explained the process and how he would achieve a lighter brown while neutralizing the red hues that a previous stylist had left unevenly. The result was exactly what I wanted: A beautifully blended, lighter brown with no unwanted warmth. The color looks even, natural, and healthy. I truly appreciated Allen's transparency, skill, and attention to detail. Safe to say, I found a hair stylist I could trust..!

Mads M.

I've been wanting to get a digital perm for a while and went through countless reviews before deciding. I messaged Allen for about three days, going back and forth with all my questions since it was my first time--and wow, he was so patient! I ended up booking with him, and he even squeezed me in on a Saturday before I went out of town for a week. When I arrived, Allen carefully inspected my hair and we discussed the look I was going for--big, voluminous curls. The entire process took about four hours, and he was incredibly efficient. You can tell from the way he cuts hair that he's a true pro! I absolutely love my perm and feel like I've finally found my go-to stylist. No cheesy small talk--just straight-up skill, great service, and an amazing result at a great price!

I did an extensive research using AI and came upon this establishment. I called last week and was able to schedule an appointment the following week (Tuesday at 10am !!!)) I didn't know what to expect since I've never gotten a perm before but the hair stylist was Yoko and she was so kind and patient. She helped getting me situated where we discussed what type of perm I wanted. She shampooed my hair and that off the bat was so relaxing and set the tone of my experience. We had a great conversations as she prepared my hair - while doing the perm I was given some nice Korean coffee and was asked if I was comfortable while the perm was setting it. Yoko provided me Instructions on how to maintain the perm and also provided me products to help maintain my hair. My months of growing my hair out and finally getting my first perm experience was fantastic. I'll becoming back in 6weeks for my touch ups.

I showed them a couple pictures of what I wanted and they seemed super experienced. They were knowledgeable, checked in frequently, and had great recommendations and tips for after care. It took a long time (~4 hours) but I feel like it was definitely worth it. It's been a few weeks and I really like the way the curls sit, especially after a hair wash day. My hair is stick straight so I didn't know how it would hold but my hair looks styled all the time. 1000/10 can't wait to go back!

This review is for ISIS-…read more I have a girl who I trust with my haircuts wholeheartedly but I haven't found somebody I trust coloring my hair UNTIL NOW! After researching salons in my area I came across Limon. I checked out their yelp and Instagram to see their work. My first consultation was with Kimmy but she referred me to Isis. After my consultation I was nervous but decided to have faith and went forward with my appointment one week later. I haven't had my hair colored since Oct 2024. I let my roots grow out but the bottom portion of my hair was still blond ish. My natural hair color is dark brown and I wanted to go 2 to 3 shades lighter with subtle highlights throughout. I showed inspo pictures as a reference but most of it was verbalizing what I wanted. I was in the chair from 10:30 AM to 4:50PM. It was worth it because now I love my hair! I haven't loved my hair in a long time-thank you Isis! The woman at the front desk is very friendly and offers you something to drink when you check in. The salon is well kept and pretty big inside. Plenty of parking in the back with spots reserved for Limon customers. For those curious about pricing-my service was $540

Coming back to write an update. How can I say I love this salon even more? Got my haircut by Angela…read more2 months ago and now came back for a complimentary bang trim. It's so nice to see the salon decorated for the holiday with the Christmas tree filled with teddy bears, adds to the warm ambiance. I was greeted by the front desk and they offered me a complimentary drink. I had a hazelnut coffee. Everything is so well done from start to finish, the experience is one all on its own. I also got some hair products that Angela introduced me to and gave me samples the first time I was here. I bought Innersense products for 20% in their Black Friday sale. I ordered them online and set them for pick up. Angela freshened up my hair and she noticed an improvement in my wavy hair and that's really all due to the tips she gave me when she did the curly haircut. She took her time in cutting the bangs and even styled it. She's so sweet and enjoys talking to you while you're in the chair. She's also very good at cutting wavy hair (hard to find someone who can do this well). Limon Salon just got voted the Best Salon in the Silicon Valley, and you can see why! Even though it took me 30 minutes to drive here in bad Bay Area traffic, it was worth it! I already scheduled my next curly haircut for the new year.

After my bestie had been going to esther for 7 years i jumped on the curly hair bandwagon last year…read moreand here i am for perm #2. the last year has been fun styling the first perm she gave and i loved it as it grew in and i even got two trims throughout the year. i love that my hair is allowed to have digital perm (hair-health wise) & it doesn't smell bad! after my appointment i came straight to work and this is the shot after esther styled it! in the after care i'll avoid getting it wet for 2 days and the hardest part is not touching it! but i flip my hair so i'll just try to keep it in ringlet twirls as much as possible! one thing different from my first perm was that my hair was much longer prior to this appt today, and still it sprang up! it's still long so i'm glad i grew it, and looking forward to styling this do once the 48 hr no wash time passes! highly recommend esther even with her wait list!! you can upkeep with deep conditioning your hair while looking forward to the appt (like i did!) the 3 hour appt was enjoyable, she is personable and so knowledgeable, in fact the appt was over earlier than i expected, a total timely professional! thank you esther!

I originally booked this appointment last minute after another stylist canceled on me the day before a trip - and honestly, I'm so grateful that happened, because I would've never found Grace otherwise. Sometimes things really do work out the way they're supposed to. She absolutely killed my haircut. I have curly/wavy, thick hair, and she knew exactly how to work with it - something that's hard to find. The shape, the movement, everything came out better than I imagined. Also, the vibe was amazing - super welcoming, relaxed, and just overall such a great energy the entire appointment. Grace is also genuinely so sweet, which made the whole experience even better. Safe to say Grace is officially stuck with me as a client.

Yeye is a really good hair stylist and it shows! She understands what haircuts will suit you well…read moreand she isn't afraid to tell you her recommendations. I've seen her twice now: the first time was in November of 2024, and the second time was recently. The first time I saw her I got a short haircut and I was nervous about whether or not it would suit me as I've had long hair for the majority of my life. However, she reassured me that she wouldn't agree to the haircut if she didn't think it would suit me. In the end I was very happy and satisfied! She also helped thin out my hair as I had told her that my hair was feeling very dense and heavy. She's extremely knowledgeable and could tell that I had cut my own bangs haha. This second time I saw her I actually hadn't had a haircut since my first visit so it had grown out quite a bit. I told her I wanted a hush cut and that I had the same concerns about the weight of my hair. Again, she helped lighten the weight as well as gave me the exact cut that I wanted. She also didn't judge me for dyeing my own hair ash brown and even said I did a good job making it even! Overall, I highly recommend Yeye as a hair stylist and I'll definitely be seeing her again! She's very kind, easy to talk to, and an extremely skilled and knowledgeable hair stylist.

I came to Yeye quite some time ago -- I was so excited to see a salon providing color analysis…read moreservices in the area! It seems to be very on trend right now, and I was determined to polish my personal style. Also, you can bring a friend for a 2-person session! Yeye is very good at giving her honest opinion so.. don't come if you're not ready for honesty. She showed me colors I look best in, as well as colors that are not my best. At first I thought the analysis would only include color draping but she truly went above and beyond. She even told me what hairstyles would suit my face shape best, and what hair colors to go for. The whole process was thorough -- she even did an analysis of my makeup and was determined to find a lip shade that suited my complexion, which is something even I have been struggling with since I started wearing makeup. Yeye also gave me clothing recommendations such as neckline styles that would suit me. The experience felt personalized and I have incorporated her advice into my shopping habits even months later. After our appointment she sent me home with a bunch of style guides along with outfit and hair inspo. I truly feel she has helped me elevate my style this year. I shopped according to my color season and I feel a lot more confident in my personal style. After having blonde hair for so long she convinced me to go brunette and I have no regrets. I'd highly recommend Yeye's color analysis service to anyone looking to change up their look/wardrobe and elevate their personal style. (Disclaimer: my hair color was done at a different salon)
