    My new cut!
    Cristina K.

    This is an amazing unpretentious salon that is a hidden gem! I sent a message via yelp requesting an appointment for haircut. The communication of the owner was friendly and prompt. She got me in, even though I was asking for a last min appt. My appt was w/ Parissa and I LOVE her! She is my new hairdresser from here on out! She is such a lovely gal and took time to really look at my hair and suggest what she felt would be best for me. I just love my haircut & immediately made another appt to get my hair colored. If you are looking for a new salon GO HERE!

    This review is for the lovely and talented Jelena! I've been wearing hair extentions since 2019 with reputable and highly reviewed professionals. However, Jelena is in an entirely different league of her own because my hair has never looked this good!!! To many people, trusting others with their hair is a tender vulnerability. Your hair can either be a point of insecurity or a huge confidence booster, so getting your hair done by a professional who is exceptional at what they do lends a great sense of security knowing that your lovely locks are in good hands (literally and figuratively)! Jelena takes the time to ask you what you want and then actually delivers it more perfectly than you even imagined! Today, she spent 4 hours meticulously removing my old extentions I got at a different salon in LA because of how badly they were done, and then installed new ones. She was detailed, patient, and did it the correct way, not cutting any corners. She's also hilarious and easy to talk to- basically the entire package!! After just one appointment I've decided that I won't go anywhere else for my hair :) Also reasonably priced and won't break the bank! So to summarize, if looking amazing and having a really pleasant experience is your vibe, go to Jelena!

    Salon Theory is an adorable hair salon oasis in the Lake Forest area. It's newly renovated and the interior design is super beachy chic. Best of all, they use every product from R+Co which smell amazing and work great! Kenzy is so talented and left my hair with effortless beach curls and fabulous highlights that look so natural. Even though I live in LA, it's totally worth the drive. Can't wait to go back!!

    Best cut, color and style around!!!!

    Jessica Sutherland is the best!! She's honest with you about your hair goals while still giving you everything you wanted! I'm a new, first time mama and she was able to give me my balayage dreams with a cute, stylin long bob. She kept my look sexy while still being able to throw it up and "mom" at home. It also helps that she's basically a part time therapist while I'm getting my hair done. Killing two birds with one stone for the best price!! I can't recommend her enough!

She also took care in shampooing my hair, gave me a nice scalp massage and offered me a beverage. The entire experience was so relaxing. I told her that I trim my grey hairs because I haven't come to accept them yet, and she spent probably 20 minutes trimming my grey hairs for me lol Cannot rave about her enough, I already told all of my friends! Cost was $110 plus tip for a long hair cut, which includes shampoo and styling.

    I paid over $300 for a haircut and single-color service. My complaint is not simply about the final…read morehair result, but about the overall service and professionalism I experienced. During the appointment, the stylist made several comments that felt unnecessary, judgmental, and uncomfortable. Instead of feeling listened to as a client, I felt dismissed and pressured. A salon appointment should feel professional and respectful, especially when the client is paying several hundred dollars for a service. I also did not feel that my concerns were handled with care during the appointment. I felt uncomfortable continuing, but at the time I did not know how to address it directly. Looking back, I wish I had asked to speak with a manager before the service continued. For a salon charging this price point, I expected a much more respectful and customer-centered experience. Clients should not leave feeling upset, uncomfortable, or regretful after paying over $300. I hope management takes feedback like this seriously and provides better training on communication, professionalism, and how to handle client concerns during a service. Based on this experience, I would not return.
