All my daughter wanted so straight across so Nina gave her exactly what she asked for and my daughter loves it!

My daughter and I have been going to Nina for 11 yrs! I adore both Nina and Mimi, they will do exactly what you ask and will also always guid you down the perfect path if you ask.

Keratin & cut by Lina

I finally found my hair guru! Lina, did an amazing job with my keratin treatment. My hair was thick, frizzy, and just a mess. She has transformed my hair through treatment and cut into a vibrant, healthy-looking style that brings compliments! This was my first time going to Nina Hair Studio and I was very impressed. All the great techniques, amazing knowledge and awesome service. I couldn't be happier with the my results.

Before. Look at those roots.

Just came from Nina yesterday and she is still as awesome as she was before COVID. I haven't seen her in over a year and she took my meds and made it amazing! (There's no need to post about your feelings outside of her profession on Yelp!.)

I called Nina about giving her another chance and she said she needed me to remove the negative rating on Yelp. I removed the negative rating however she will not respond so I have found another salon. There are many salons around! If her Salon was really good her service would stand on its own. The experience with the fungus with Pearle (her relative) was horrible and I'm still dealing with it 6 months later going to a Podiatrist. She should be shut down. By the way I gave Nina my dog Bear who I miss very much and she never even sends me pics or anything. I hope she is being good to him!

Nina has been doing my hair for approximately 7 years now, and she is a hair magician! She can take the worst hair and find a solution to make it gorgeous! She does my color (covers my gray), my style, and she applies, removes, and cares for my hair extensions when I have them in. Whenever she does my hair, it ends up looking gorgeous! Nina actually cares about your hair, and she won't perform a service if she feels it will cause harm to your hair because it isn't healthy enough. But she really knows her stuff, and the end result is always amazing! And if something isn't right in her salon or a customer isn't happy for some reason, Nina will do what it takes to make it right! I don't think that it's fair to write Yelp reviews based on personal feelings instead of the professional service. Additionally, it's not ok to post a negative review about her husband's business here - he has nothing to do with her salon, and his business is his business. And frankly, I've never had anything but excellent experiences with ACCU Auto Service - they are incredible. And regarding Nina, in all of my experience, I have never observed any time that Nina has been anything but professional and kind. Nina is far from rude - quite the opposite. She treats all of her clients with respect and dignity. And she is definitely not just in business for the money. She truly loves her craft and she cares about her clients. But like so many small business owners, the Coronavirus pandemic has been extremely difficult on Nina, as she has been forced to close her business completely for now. It isn't great for me either, since my hair is suffering without her magic to transform it. But I know that as soon as she is open for business again, she will be making my hair - and all of her other clients as well - beautiful again! Nina is the best, and I highly recommend her!

PERSONAL SERVICE- it's never difficult to make an appointment with the gentleman who answers the phone, scheduling and working with me on flexibility, and the actual hair cut and shampoo service before and after the cut. CARE-I get my haircut from Zemma and she always takes good care of me. Maybe the track record of getting a hair cut once a month for the past 4 years is enough said about not just the haircut and look but how they make you feel and are so welcoming. SKILL- I lived in Irvine, Long Beach, and all over Orange County but I always drive here to get my cut. They are that good. Even when Zemma isn't available, the rest of the staff there is just as equally capable and great at what they do! Bonus: ask how you can take better care of your hair and they always have great advice

I added myself to the waitlist after midnight and received an automated text, the next morning I received a phone call from the salon to learn more about the haircut type (trim), current hair length, and my availability. I was added to Leslie's schedule for 3:30pm that day. The person on the phone was warm and enthusiastic. I also appreciated all the text updates leading up to the appointment. Closer to the appointment time, I received a text link to check in. Upon arrival, I was greeted right away and taken to the waiting area which was stocked with SO many drinks and snacks! Prob the most and nicest setup I've seen for snack/drink offerings at salon. They make their own cold brew, have a large selection of teas, nespresso pods, milks, syrups, and bubbly drinks! Seriously such a cute setup. The salon itself is very clean and modern with a lot of natural lighting. Leslie was super sweet and I liked my haircut! My appointment wasn't too long but I didn't feel rushed at all. I went in on a Saturday and did not have issues with parking however I can see parking being a little tricky if you book during the week, so be sure to plan ahead just in case. Great experience and would come back!

I'm giving this 2 stars because the staff is very nice and it's a beautiful salon, but I'm just…read morereally disappointed with my hair experience here. I came in with multiple reference photos for what I thought was a pretty straightforward style: layers, curtain bangs, and a blowout, with about 3 inches taken off my base length. Instead, I essentially left with 3 inches taken off and a few layers in the front that didn't translate into the back. I was also disappointed to find that their version of a blowout was simply blow drying and curling the hair, which was not what I was expecting based on my photos. More than anything, I wish they had just been upfront and told me they weren't comfortable doing this particular haircut. When I showed the stylist my photos, they gave me several reasons why certain techniques or the style itself wouldn't work for my hair. I would have much rather known upfront that they weren't comfortable executing the look and waited to see my regular stylist. I also should have asked to see some of their previous haircut work beforehand as none of their work is similar to the photos I included here. I really tried to be understanding throughout the appointment, but unfortunately, I left with a basic haircut that wasn't what I asked for and a result I'm still dealing with weeks later. Just a really disappointing experience overall.

The Worst Haircut Experience I've Had in 10 Years…read more This was my fourth visit to this place, but unfortunately, it will also be my last. I tried three times to book an appointment with Maia online, but the website kept giving me errors. I eventually made an appointment over the phone and arrived 15 minutes early. This time, I was greeted by an older Vietnamese woman I had never met before. She was friendly and polite, and before she started cutting my hair, I showed her three clear reference photos of exactly how I wanted my hair cut. However, the real disappointment came after the haircut. After shampooing my hair, she began blow-drying and styling it. Despite my naturally curly hair, she attempted to straighten it with a flat brush. When she realized how curly my hair was, she asked me how I usually styled it at home. Then, unbelievably, she put some hair wax into the palm of my hand and asked me to apply it and style my hair myself. To make matters worse, the back of my hair was still wet, with water literally dripping from it when she finished. I get my hair cut every two months, and I can say without hesitation that this was the worst haircut experience I've had in the past ten years. I appreciate friendliness and courtesy, but professional skill and competence should always come first. Being nice simply cannot make up for a lack of basic hairstyling skills. I went to a professional salon expecting a professional haircut and styling service--not to be handed some hair wax and told to finish the job myself. Extremely disappointing, completely unprofessional, and by far the worst haircut experience I've had in years. I will not be returning.
