My son needed a haircut, and based on the reviews, I made an appointment. He ended up with Cindy, and unfortunately, the experience was awful. His haircut was completely butchered--there were visible dents and uneven patches in his hair. He came home crying and didn't even want to leave the house afterward. It was absolutely heartbreaking and miserable for him. I would not recommend this business to anyone. read more

I have been coming here for many years for one specific hairdresser. It is a nice place, clean, friendly staff, clean restroom, ample parking in the lot. If I can make one suggestion though, when I was in there last, someone brought their dog in (it was not a service dog), and it wasn't even on a leash. Not really the place. read more

First time at Salon Avella. Cindy, my long time cutter previous location was recently closed. Fortunately a posted note said she had moved to Salon Avella in the same shopping area. Salon Avella's venue is bright and welcoming. The furnishings look clean and well kept. There is a shaded outside waiting area with tables and chairs if you prefer while waiting for your particular cutter/stylist. If you're looking for a new place or someone new, try Salon Avella. read more

This review is for stylist, Tuyet. On the positive side, she started off strong. The not-so-positive: - Inconsistent - delivers a different style each time by cutting too short, leaving too long, or an uneven cut - Not open to direction - declined seeing photo of my hair style as a guide for subsequent visits as she continued to veer away from what was requested - Takes you straight to shampoo without discussing issues with last cut - Argues that your perception of problems with her cut is incorrect - If first appointment of the day, she arrives at the appointment time and then takes several minutes to get set-up while you wait - Tendency to assign fault to her client, from a poor cut to her double-booking appointments - When texting her to advise I would not be returning, she didn't respond I'm sorry this didn't work out, especially since she did a good job the first couple of cuts. read more

Called today to request an appointment with someone that might specialize in thick and curly hair. The receptionist asked to put me on hold so she could ask which hair stylist may do this. Needless to say she forgot to put me on hold. The conversation I heard between the hair stylists was so completely rude and unprofessional, it blew me away. They all agreed they hated cutting my type of hair and were arguing over who would take me!! The receptionist said, "well what am I supposed to tell her then?". Someone said, "just tell her we are busy!". I would never ever give them one dime of my business or recommend them. If you have thick, curly hair, don't bother calling Salon Avella! read more

I am very picky about haircuts, I just go in every once in a while for a straight cut whenever my hair gets too long. However, I decided to give things a chance when I went to the stylist Jill, who was absolutely amazing! She is very passionate about what she does, and really made me feel like I was in safe hands. She educated me more about hair products I can use to keep my hair healthy and just different things I could do with my hair. I am proud to say that I have never been happier with my haircut. She cut 14 inches off and styled my hair with layers to give it more volume and I am just overall so happy with my hair. Thank you Jill, will be going back again!r read more

Salon Avella - Thank you Jill for the beautiful hair cut and style! - Hair Salons Near Me - Anaheim, California

I have been coming to this Salon for years and every time I come here I treated like family. Everyone is so welcoming. I go to Tarah and she is amazing. She is personable and has magical hands. Also the owner Rio always takes the time to say hello and remembers our conversations from the last time, we all know it's rare in any friendship. Highly recommend this place! read more

I've been going to Salon Avella for seven years. I've seen different stylists over the years, depending on my and their schedules. Never had a bad cut or color. And it seems the prices are better than other salons that I occasionally have to go when I'm unable to make it here. The ladies are fun and really look forward to going every time. read more

Summary: Time and money perhaps better spent elsewhere. Haircut was ok but not great and the place is very crowded, not relaxing like a salon should be. Also, don't trust the review rating. This places sends texts to their customers asking for Yelp reviews. I consider this inappropriate and taints any positive reviews they may receive. 5/10 Haircut: There are really only two stylists at the shop that cut men's hair. The haircut I received was just ok. My stylist was much more interested in talking that cutting hair. I would have preferred a little more attention to the reason I was there. 4/10 Experience: The salon is busy, but I don't consider that a good thing. There are alwasy at least five or six stylists on duty if not more and ten to fifteen people getting haircuts or waiting. It is somewhat chaotic and loud. I would prefer it to be more relaxing. To help with this, the salon offers you a drink if you would like one while you get your haircut. Doesn't seem the most sanitary thing to do while getting a haircut but apparently is becoming fairly common. Nothing about the experience seemed special, it was largely just a haircut but the number of people in the salon made it hard to relax and enjoy getting a haircut. 5/10 Decor: Your average salon, nothing particularly special about how it decorated. It is clean. 6/10 Location: Located just off Santa Ana Canyon in an old strip mall, the location could be a bit better. That said, its not a bad location but isn't the most obvious. If you live near the movie theater in Anaheim Hills, it is very close by. 6/10 Advertising: As noted in the summary above, reviews of this place should not be trusted. Several individuals who appear in the photos are no longer at the salon and haven't been for several years. More importantly, when you leave they send you a text asking you to review the salon. I understand they want the advertising but asking for reviews creates bias and is not something business should do. 1/10 read more

Scuba I have a very hard time believing this. I care for my mother and take her into Salon Avella every week. The staff there always makes my mom feel like a Queen. If you are a professional caregiver I would think you would know how to prepare the diapers not to leak. How long was the diaper on before you took her to the salon. My mom has been in here getting her hair colored and cut and it can take a few hours. You are the one who needs to be prepared for any situation. When being a caregiver you need to have patience. You might have your client have someone else take her for her hair appointment. I think you were the one being inconvenienced taking your client to get her hair done. Most elderly women love getting there hair done and talking with the staff. Hope you look inside yourself to see what was happening in your life that day. Caregiving is hard however the rewards out weight the inconsistency. Salon Avella is a 5 Star salon with amazing and caring professional hair stylist. read more

Awesome haircraft by Jill and Holly. (All the guys are great too) I can always count on them to provide attention to detail, meaningful conversation, and knowing how I want my hair styled. Thank goodness this group decided to stay in Anaheim Hills, I don't trust any other salons to provide high-end executive men's grooming. If you're looking to be treated like the boss / family, come here. They will take care of you and provide you all the extras (hot face towel, blow dry and styling, fancy robe etc) read more

Salon Avella - Super tight fade with a slight comb to the side. - Hair Salons Near Me - Anaheim, California

Salon Avella has very accommodating, and considerate people working there, but this review is completely for Reggie. Reggie is a great guy: personable, funny, and serious about his work. The very first time I met him was at 18/8, and I've followed him here to Salon Avella. Why? Because I absolutely regret going anywhere else, since I've met Reggie. I hate to admit it, but a few times my schedule required something immediate, and I've been disappointed. I'm currently at Salon Avella awaiting my appointment time, because of a botched haircut not even a week ago. Onto his work: Reggie's work is nothing short of tedious, and precise. He won't let you leave until you're satisfied, fortunately, I'm always satisfied with his work (and so is my mom)! I don't normally write reviews, but if you're never satisfied with your haircuts, tired of going to "barbershops" with no customer service or regard for your style, and willing to pay a bit more of a premium for a great cut then definitely setup an appointment with Reggie. See for yourself why I choose to make Reggie my go to guy: https://squareup.com/appointments/book/EZKGM7/avella-mens-hairdressing Also, you can come back to Reggie for tuneups ($17), and cleanups ($0). read more

Salon Avella in Anaheim Hills is the BEST! I have been getting my hair cut and highlighted for years with Kathy! The salon is beautiful and well maintained. The owner is very personable also. Everyone in the salon is friendly which makes for a wonderful atmosphere. If you need your hair cut, this is the place!!! read more

Scenario: you are a male human with hair. The hair has now reached the point where it makes you look either foolish, uncouth, or like one of the wildlings from GoT. Say no more, fam. Hit up Holly or Jason or any of the other great stylists who may or may not have formerly trimmed keratin down the road a ways at Corporate Cuts. They will make your scalp and your wallet feel good (the latter especially if you're a student). And you get that bonus hot towel treatment that makes you feel all fancy and sh*t! read more

If you go to Jill you will not be disappointed. I have jumped around from barber to barber for the past 2 years until Jill came to save the day. She is a true pro and pays attention to detail. So if you are searching, stop searching and just go to Jill. read more

Tarah is still the best!! My hair looks amazing. I always get highlights, toner and a hair cut. She just has an eye and knows the right cut for each person. read more

Ask for my main man Alex! His super passionate with his art! I love coming here. I feel like I'm always at home. They also have Heineken on tap!. Thank you so much for the amazing haircut. It so hard to find someone that can do it. You're amazing! See you soon! read more

Reginald aka Reggie aka Reg has been cutting my hair for over 15 years, even before he became a hair stylist. He's never failed to deliver and my hair cuts have only gotten better with time. You'd be wise to pick this guy to cut your hair. He has also taught at the Toni and Guy academy as well as cut in their salon. If you can teach the stuff, you know your stuff. He's also part of the Numa national design team. He definitely has the credentials. He pays attention to detail and has a great sense for what you want as long as you have an idea of what you want. As long as you have a good idea of what you want, and can describe it he can deliver. His contact information below Ritual Men's Grooming @Salon Avella Online booking http://sqap.pt/SVPzlkdj tel:(714)340-5021 read more

I have tried several barbershops/salons since moving back to Southern California two years ago, but was never really satisfied with my experience. That is, I felt like regardless of what I asked my stylist for, they would end up cutting my hair the same way as the guy before and after me. This is not the case with Holly (and the rest of her team) at Ritual Men's Grooming @ Salon Avella. I've been to Holly three times so far and have been increasingly satisfied with the service and cut each time. I don't intend on switching to another stylist as long as I'm in SoCal! She's professionally trained & really knows her tools and trade. She's an excellent listener and will style your hair the way you want it. If you're in the area and want a custom-tailored cut with great service (& complimentary cold beer!) do yourself a favor and give Holly a call.

I'm not going to lie, I read a lot of reviews but I very rarely write them. I had my hair long, and haven't had it cut in around 4-5 years and after a quick search on Yelp, Salon Avella clearly seemed to the most attractive choice. I don't go out much and when I do, I pray for a pleasant experience and it's safe to say my prayers were answered by the time I walked out of there! Holly greeted me with a smile and seemed very excited about me wanting to cut my hair short and go for a completely new look. Other stylists were commenting about how lucky she was to have a blank canvas and she asked if she could record the haircut which was flattering! Obviously the enthusiasm at Salon Avella is running high! I showed Holly a few pictures but ultimately left it up to her assuming she would know best and she absolutely did! Not only did I leave Salon Avella looking better than I had in years with my new hair but I also left making a friend in my new hairstylist. We exchanged numbers so that she could send me the video of my haircut and said she would text me a reminder in about a month that my hair could use a trim. It's now a month later and I'm writing this review before excitedly making my 2nd appointment! I think it's amazing that I entered the Salon worried about a stressful or anxious situation and generally hating haircuts and somehow I left overly excited for my next visit. Far and away the best haircut experience I've ever had so I will surely be a regular for the foreseeable future! read more

I don't often write reviews on Yelp, but after getting a couple of stellar haircuts at Salon Avella, I felt posting up a quick review was the least I could do. This place has a great atmosphere and bubbly experienced stylists. Alex and Holly are my go to's and neither have ever let me down. If you're frustrated with the budget buzzshops and really want to step up your style, this is THE place to come! read more

You must be reading this cause you haven't found a reliable hairstylist or just looking for something new. Hopefully this review will help you make a decision. I use to go to Carltons way back when, but then I found Jason at 18/8 who's specialty was for men who seeks quality grooming. As you mature you need upgrade, let's admit your hairstyle says a lot about who you are. Jason is a master hairstylist with creative mind and precise hands. Since then he had transferred over to Salon Avilla (where he's not as restricted to policies on how to cut hair as you would for 18/8.) When I met him I was hesitant at first but he helped me ease into a new hairstyle and continued to maintain it for a little two years now. He cuts my hair for all occasions from simple maintenance to the big wedding day, not once did he disappoint. I wrote this review only recently because my friend had recently gone through a similar phase of switching hairstyles and I thought there might be others out there. Hopefully you consider him as an option because you never really know nowadays until you hear it (read it) from someone who's experienced the situation firsthand. You won't regret it! read more

Megan is my hairstylist. She and her assistant are absolutely awesome! They are super friendly and super fast, and I've never walked out of there disappointed. I can't wait to see what she does for my wedding day hair. I would absolutely recommend Megan to anyone for both color and cut! p.s. The salon is also very chill and doesn't have that stereotypical snooty salon vibe. read more

I go to this salon and this salon only. Reggie is my go to he does great work. I drive all the way from West Hollywood to get my hair done here, any time I go anywhere else I end up very disappointed. This salon has never let me down. My brother and Mom both go as well and love it as much as I do read more

I would like to start off by saying I had the best experience after many years. Holly did my grey blending ( color). She was very professional, friendly, and just a great person to chat with. The color came out excellent and she also did some basic clean-up for no charge. I will be seeing her again in a few weeks. Thanks Holly. You are awesome! read more

Andrea Buhler is a hair artist, I swear. Not only is she through and meticulous, she really knows how to make your hair the best for you.

She's honest and will let you know how your face shape/hair texture/skin tone will compliment your hair. I trust her whole-heartedly. She's amazing. read more

I always want a fun and edgy look, so getting your hair from stylish people is important. Reggie is stylish and keeps up with the tends. I live in LA and the as often as I am in the area I get a cut and style from Reggie. He doesn't just cut and style my hair, he teaches you how to maintain the style and different ways to wear it. As a guy who doesn't want to think about his hair, but wants to look good, his advise is super helpful. read more

My boyfriend gets his haircut by Jill and she never fails to do an amazing job. He's very picky and has gone to different barbers/hairstylists until he finally got his hair done by Jill. Now he won't go to anyone else. She really takes her time and has all her clients looking amazing after she's done. Highly recommend! read more

This place is just blossoming with new employees with stats Iike crazy. My stylist, Holly, is super stoked to do my hair always, friendly and really converses with me. Holly definetly makes me feel like a friend more than one of her patients. They are really trying to build their rep after switching locations and they totally have it. Everyone is passionate about cutting and styling hair. They listen and help give you what you want exactly. 10/10 give them a try! read more

After the Blowout Bar in Anaheim Hills cancelled my daughter's appointment when she showed up, we were desperate. She had a photo appointment for senior pictures that evening. We ran to the salon across the street and after hearing her story, Reggie (I think that's his name) agreed to squeeze her in and do her hair. She just got home, and it looks amazing!! I don't think I've ever seen it look as good as it does now. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I paid a little more than the blowout bar charges, but well worth the extra money for the better look and for the last minute rescue!!!! read more

Megan is the best!!! I have confidence when I sit in her chair that my hair will be exactly how I want it. She's awesome at color and is always going to classes to learn new techniques. The salon is nice and everyone is very friendly. Ask for Megan!!! read more

Got my haircut by Jill. She answered all my questions and catered to all my request while giving me the haircut.
