Finding a new salon is always a little nerve-racking, so I came to Yelp and reached out to a few places. David, who I'm assuming is the owner, got back to me the very next morning. He was professional, clear, and answered all of my questions. He also offered to get me scheduled for the following week since they were booked for the rest of the week. Today was my appointment, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! I was set up with Emily Evans, and right away, her vibe was so kind and welcoming. She was professional, easy to talk to, and made me feel completely comfortable. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend Emily! read more

PaulDavid Salon is beautifully designed and creates such an elevated experience from the moment you arrive. It immediately feels luxe and the staff are so welcoming. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality of service. I got my haircut with Linda and she was amazing! She really listened to what I wanted, took such great care of me, and was a delight to chat with. I loved the end result! You can tell how much time, care, and attention the whole team puts into their work. I left feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and so happy with my hair. I'm truly looking forward to coming back! read more

i love the salon itself its relaxing and naturally bright and clean. ive seen the same girl multiple times and ive loved every trim and cut ive gotten from her and she's really sweet. i previously have bleached my own hair and was very upfront about this - i came in to undo the very harsh line between what i bleached and my natural color which was grown out a solid 6-8 inches, we went over highlight and lowlight options and let her know my goal was to have some light and some dark on both the bottom and top. back in november i paid $500 to still have an incredibly harsh line between the two colors. unfortunately i feel like im better off coloring my hair myself. read more

I've been coming to this salon since 2022, and I honestly love my hair every time I leave. I used to think my hair was too difficult to style or that certain styles wouldn't work for me, but Paul (one of the owners) has always let me try new things, and he gets it right every single time. I can't believe I stuck with the same hairstyle for so long! David, the other owner, is also such a sweetheart. The whole place has a super welcoming vibe, and the salon itself is gorgeous. You get that luxury experience without crazy high prices. I feel so fancy every time I'm there, but it's totally affordable. What other salon uses BALMAIN products on you for the price they charge?! It can be hard to get an appointment because Paul's clients are super loyal (for good reason!), so I'd recommend pre-booking if you can. Overall, I love this place and can't imagine going anywhere else! read more

Thanks to Paul for listening and helping to achieve my new hair style! I just recently moved to this area and I was looking for a new place to get my hair done. I was pleased with the results on my first appointment, so I'm ready to go back to get my haircut done. read more

Great vibe, very clean, nice breath of fresh air to salons in Orange. Finally a classy hip hair salon.

I recently got a balayage and color correction done by Lily and I am in love with it! She is very talented and explains everything she is doing in detail so you never feel confused or unsure about what is being done to your hair at any point. I also recently got a lobe piercing, and she made sure to be gentle when she worked with the hair around it, as it was still pretty sensitive. Everyone at this salon is also really friendly and it is a clean and nice environment. Would definitely come here again!! read more

Lily did an amazing job with my hair! I'm so happy with how my layers came out, my hair feels and looks so much healthier. The salon is beautiful and feels very clean, and everyone was so nice! read more

A little farther out for me but the new location is very nice! Still seeing Linda as my hair stylist and would drive farther to get my hair done by her. Parking is definitely a lot easier at the new location and it really is high end. read more

The proof in a good haircut is when you have to wash your hair. Without even blowing it dry, just a toweling it and it is still perfect. Wake up in the morning and it looks like you stuck your head in a socket then a few brush stokes later it looks great. This is a very good haircut. Thanks again Linda . You are the best! read more

Love this Salon. Linda is my stylist and I love the way she cuts my hair. I highly recommend this place, it's absolutely beautiful!

Came in a complete mess and Emily was more than a magician. Pricing = average salon (a lot, but these humans do WORK it's worth it) Parking=weird, recommend parking on the street Ambiance=clean! read more

It was easy to make an appointment with PaulDavid Salon. I was originally going to have my hair done in early July, but due to California shutting down again, my appointment got canceled, which was sad, but out of the salon's control. They gave me assurance that once the governor allowed salons to open again, I would be notified, if I was still interested. Within July I used box-dye on my hair to switch up the color. Once September hit, I was notified that salons were accepting appointments again. I have 3b curly hair, and curly hair alone in general is hard to find stylists who are willing (and with the experience) of coloring/balayaging more textured hairstyles. I let Linda know my worries, and she cheerfully offered a free consultation and during my appointment, I told her I had previously box-dyed my hair (for the first time) the past month and was wondering if it would prevent my hair from changing lighter. I was very satisfied with all my questions answered after and was happy to have pictures I saved on Pinterest of colors I wanted being possible on my curly hair. During my appointment Linda was very gentle with me and patient with all the tangles. She walked me through the whole process verbally and explained to me the purpose of each step (my first time getting my hair done professionally at a salon, and I was very curious). I was very satisfied with how my hair turned out after. It looked exactly how I pictured I wanted it to look. The price was definitely extremely low to what I was expecting, due to the fact that not many salons treat the kind of hair I have and if they do, they tend to raise the price a good amount due to the fact that my hair is hard to treat. However, this was definitely not the case and I am very grateful for having such an amazing first experience at a hair salon! I definitely recommend for most hair types! Here is a before and after. read more

Never have I written a review so quickly but I HAD TO. I had my hair done by Paul and he is simply amazing. I have thick stubborn Asian hair - like, the very hair that is notoriously difficult to make blonde. I've spent thousands trying out different salons that specialized in doing blonde and it always came out super nice but not the exact shade or color I was hoping for. I came to Paul's expecting that it'll be the same - it's not them, it's me. Due to Covid, it's been quite some time since I attempted to go blonde and anyway - aside from my natural hair being difficult to work with. I also dyed my hair dark which is also very difficult to undo. To top it off, my ends have already been bleached four times and badly damaged. It was a trifecta of nightmares for hair stylists. Paul made my hair the lightest I've ever seen done - in one session! The techniques he used and the amount of attention he had was simply unmatched. He has a mastery of skills and knowledge AND he's so nice and really cares about you. Like seriously... I legit had three different colors (probably more) going on all with it's own issues and he made me into a beautiful blonde. Yes - you gotta wait your turn to see him BUT IT IS ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT. I can't wait to see him for my next session - I'll become the blonde I always aspired to be thanks to Paul. Ugh - my hair is so perfect even with my first session. I just can't. read more

Paul is amazing.. and Linda is amazing! Linda has been doing my extensions for years now and I'm always extremely satisfied! Please come visit them for all your hair needs, you won't regret it! read more

i've been going to Linda for haircuts for the past 3 years and she's amazing!!! i have a pretty unique cut, it's like a longer shag/ mullet with layers all around. she gets it right every single time! i've lived in sf and would try different hairstylists but no one compares. this cut isn't easy and she never disappoints!!! i'll be going to Linda for as long as i live here. read more

Paul is amazing. He's very meticulous and attentive. You can tell he really loves what he does. He's also very sweet and friendly. He took time to make sure your hair turns out perfect. I've been to many places but he's one of the best. My hair looks amazing and completely transformed. Will definitely recommend him to my family and friends or anyone looking to get their hair done. read more

Linda is so great with color, and she has so much knowledge about hair. She was also able to color correct my box dyed hair plus it's still really healthy. Her priority is maintaining healthy hair, so you can rest assure that the end result will be amazing! read more

It was my third time going to this salon for full highlighting my hair! This time I decided to go with the owner of the salon! I cannot give them 5 star since the result was not the one I wanted! I have two strong reasons for that! I liked the overall color of my highlights, but I did not liked the color of its roots. The problem was that the highlight in front doesn't started from my scalps so I have to do my roots in 2 weeks again, and on top of that for the stylist used very dark color for the roots. I asked him if it will stay this much dark he said after drying it will be lighter! I just was waiting and waiting to see how he will do fix that! But I ended up with that dark color! In addition, he only used his scissors once, on the back of my head to change "the v shape to a curved shape" and he did nothing on any other part of my hair! Even I pointed to trim damaged hair! However, just for that he charged me for the full haircut! I regretted that I didn't take pictures from the floor to show that for how much work he charged me for the full haircut ! So disappointing and unethical! Anytime I watching myself on the mirror it just bites me! I decided to never back to that place! read more

If you're debating on getting your hair done, make sure you ask for Linda!!!!!! I am so glad I found her randomly by chance on Instagram cause she is amazing! I had very stubborn red/orange hair that was driving me crazy. Linda explained the different routes we could go and decided to go for the healthy route. I explained to her what I liked and what I didn't and she blew my mind away!! It turned out so much better than I was expecting. My hair is gorgeous AND still healthy - I don't think I've ever been this obsessed with my hair! The salon itself is super cute and there's a great vibe there. There are multiple TVs for you in case you get bored but honestly Linda was a blast to talk to. There are COVID safety measures set in place so make sure you bring your own water if you think you're gonna get thirsty. There are parking spots out front but if it's full there's plenty of street parking as well. 11/10 Highly recommend! read more

5 stars!!!! I was introduced and referred to Linda by a friend who gets her hair done by her. This was my first time bleaching my hair, I wanted to get purple done and I was honestly very excited and also very terrified. I had messaged Linda a few times a few months ago with the style and color I wanted. Originally, i wanted the grey ash purple, but after we talked she thought it was best for me to start dark first then go light. I couldn't agree more. Hair stylists know best! Linda is great! She answered a million questions that I had and guided me on how to treat my hair afterwards and what to expect in the next month or so. She was very delicate with my super tangled and hot mess of a hair. Very patient and really friendly and fun to talk to. \ Final result were baby highlights, ombre. I really love how it turned out and have received so many compliments already. I really should have just been quiet and let her do her thing because she really did an amazing job! I shall definitely be back!! Bonus points: the facility is really nice. Clean, modern, they have snacks and beverages they provide for their clients. It didn't smell like chemicals walking in and the overall enviornment and ambience was nice! She also let us eat dinner while I waiting for the color to set in. read more

I booked my first haircut at this salon with Linda, and she did an amazing job! I loved my haircut so much that I booked a balayage, too! I'm very, very picky when it comes to stylists. She is so sweet and honest! read more

Found this salon through Yelp and I'm so glad I did. It was worth the month wait! (That's always a good thing when they're that booked out) Linda listened to what I wanted and what my goal is which is to revive my dry, unhealthy, blonde hair. I told her I still wanted blonde in it since I've been a blonde for probably over 20 years now so going straight to dark would be a no go for me. She explained everything she would do and we went from there. It was my first time and I felt like I've known her for years. Everyone there made me feel comfortable and it was just a fun, casual environment. They didn't try shoving products to buy down my throat like other salons but she definitely gave me recommendations from store brand to high end, whichever I preferred. I love my hair and will be back read more

Paul did it again! I just don't trust anyone else to make me blonde and you shouldn't either. A tip would be to book your follow up/ touch up appointment at the end of your visit because he is usually booked up for months. My hair is so much more professional and presentable now. I was so embarrassed at work before and now I feel like my new hair will give me an added boost of confidence. It's an investment for sure. Thanks, Paul! read more

Man!!! I'm so happy my oldest daughter introduced me to this salon and Paul and his staff are amazing and talented blessings!!! Been coming here for years and not only have I never been disappointed, he out-do's what I ask and makes me feel and look so much better. "Honesty" is what stands out to me the most as when I see him, he will always give me the honest truth based on what's the healthiest for my hair and what look would suite me! The best part about that is he explains his concerns, theory, and suggestions, he truly is about the customer's best interest or what's beneficial for his clients! I have 5 girls and now that the little one isn't so little, I made her appointment next month, all 5 have been and will be with him, I trust no one else and have you seen his work??? Need to look at his gallery on his website! His staff are so sweet and friendly, I can't say enough about this Salon and Paul, so I'll leave it at this!!! read more

After several fails at other salons (so difficult to find just the right salon with just the right stylist) discovered PaulDavid Salon through Yelp and messaged several questions. David (half of PaulDavid) promptly responded and was not only professional but friendly and patiently answered all my questions-when I expressed my want for a full highlights, David provided contact information for his stylist Linda Kim (had David been off, would not have continued to make an appointment so kudos to David :-). The salon is very clean, chic and the staff is welcoming to all that enters (great team atmosphere)! And Linda is not only talented (TALENTED!!!!!!) she is exceptionally thorough (seriously takes her time) considerate, professional and her lively lovable personality makes the time in her chair fly by! Been to Linda now 4 times and LOVING it each time!! Love the experience and more importantly, my hair has never looked better! 4 times and why review now? Fear that Linda wouldn't have time for me!!

It's hard to find a place you can trust with your hair styles, because not everyone takes cares of your hair needs. I had not heard about this salon before but after googling, and seeing the good reviews I decided to give it a try. I made an appointed for hair cut with Lily. Great experience, Lily asked questions about what I wanted the result to be, and have really good recommendations. She also gave suggestions to what would look good, but also let me decide the best option. I'm super happy with my hair after a nice cut, my hair is finally feeling healthy and alive again. Do check this salon out, the ambiance is really nice, and they are proceeding with all the guidelines during COVID to keep clients and their workers safe. Will definitely go back, this salon just became my go to! read more

Giselle is absolutely amazing, so sweet, and so incredibly talented. She always does a great job of taking care of me and gives me exactly what I want.

Whether you give her a picture or tell her an idea of what you want, she always delivers even better than what you expected. She is very detailed with your hair and takes pride in her work. It's always a treat coming here to see her and Paul and Lily. David is always on top of it when it comes to setting up and tailoring your appointments. He makes it so easy to get a slot in. The whole team really goes out of their way to take care of you and make you feel pampered, whether hand delivering you drinks or giving you snacks while you're waiting for your hair to process. I absolutely love coming here and I can't recommend this place enough. I always get endless compliments on my hair from everyone after I get my hair done here. Absolutely adore this place! read more

Love Paul and his salon!! It's been almost 2 years since I did anything to my once-dyed now brassy ended hair and Paul did an amazing job transforming it to a gorgeous "bronde" balayage! It seriously turned out exactly like the inspiration photo I showed him. Unlike other hair colorists I've seen in the past, Paul also himself (despite being the namesake owner of this salon) did everything on my hair - from washing, bleaching, the foils, toning, drying, styling!) I've heard of some friends who've paid $$$$ to go to "popular" colorists only to get their hair basically done all by their assistant but not here. Paul himself cheerfully did everything! I'm so happy with the result and will definitely be returning once I muster up the courage to go lighter next time! (Also they are so easy to book via Yelp messaging, quick responsive time!) read more
