During my visit , I received a hair cut that left me deeply unsatisfied. Unfortunately, I felt as though my hair was rushed through, and the result was far from what I had expected. The communication regarding the haircut was inadequate, and I was shocked to discover that the hairstylist had removed more hair than I had anticipated. As a result, I was left with a style that I am unable to fix, and the experience left me in tears. Considering the $70 I spent at your salon, I expected a much higher level of service. Regrettably, the treatment I received did not meet my expectations at all. I promptly reached out to you to address my concerns, but I was disheartened by the lack of response for several days. When you did respond, I felt as though my feedback was not taken seriously. The dismissive nature of your response, suggesting that my hair was already damaged, only added to my disappointment. It is evident to me that this is not the first time such an incident has occurred at your salon. I believe that more care and attention should be given to the communication between stylists and clients to prevent such situations from happening in the future. As a resident in the area, I believe it is essential to share my experience with others. Therefore, I will not hesitate to inform my acquaintances to be cautious before choosing your salon for their haircare needs. read more

I was looking for an honest and good hair dresser in my neighborhood. From the moment I walked in the first time, I felt cared. Let me tell you this. I did not like going hair dresser ever before and finally I got tired of coloring my hair at home and took my friend's advice to see a hair dresser. I first tried Carlton. It is a cold place, with fake smiled and tricky... They were advertising $70 something for first time client and I relied on that. When it was time to pay , she asked me to pay almost double. I said I reminded her that I wasthe first time client. The receptionist said, if the hairdresser accepted then they would give me that discount!! yeah, they do nto tell you that upfront ofcourse.. I never went back there. So after this experience, I found Shadows Hair salon. The lady was so nice, genuinely smiling, no trick, no appt necessary. It was $65 but she gave me discount cause of first time client as she told me when I was getting the appointment. They are really nice people and all work great but my favorite is Arezou. She is awsome. This is the 3rd time I got my hair done and she knows exactly what to do to your hair and how. She colored and cut my hair,. My hair looks so natural, nobody even notices it is colroed.. so shiny and matching color.. She is great and I strongly recommend this salon when it is about integrity and professionalism. read more

I created a Yelp account in order to leave this one review, as generally I prefer to contact the business directly if I have an issue with their service. However, my last haircut was so awful that I feel obliged to contribute. If you are a male, you might want to avoid this salon. I have been there four times, and had my hair cut by two different stylists. The cuts were never great, but I went back anyway. The last stylist to cut my hair was Sherry, and it was a complete disaster. Now, I am not picky, and she had done a decent job before, but my hair has never been so cut in such a ridiculous way. It's worse than the 15 dollar Supercuts haircut that I was trying to avoid; everything is crooked, some parts are super thin and others super thick, the "sideburns" were left as a few, super long strands of hair which stick out from thick hair that wasn't layered at all. It seemed like a stressful day in the salon, with kids running around and parents complaining, but nothing justifies such a poor cut. This salon might be good for women, but for men looking to get a little better than a standard cut, I'd suggest you look elsewhere. I will not be returning. read more

My hairdresser, Sherrie, is an absolute genius. She knows exactly what I want, even when I don't. I walked into shadows salon about three years ago with a handful of magazine pics and unclear instructions of what I ultimately wanted: light brown highlights, but not too light and not too dark and not too brown. No orange tint and absolutely no thick highlights, but not too thin highlights. I want my locks to look natural (ladies, isn't this the goal, afterall?) For a cut, just an inch and only of you think I need an inch. Please include layers,but not too many layers (Maybe this is why no other hairdresser could get it right, my directions made no sense) Well, even with my unclear hair recipe, sherrie got it right. Finally, my quest for a natural highlighted do and soft wavy layers came true. Since then, I've received various new treatments, one of which I recommend to all women with an uncontrollable frizzy mane: Brazilian blowout or keratin straightening treatment. There is no other hairdresser I trust with my hair and since moving from irvine to la, I still make the 45 mile haul to see sherrie, my master hairdresser. read more

Once again, I went to Shadows Hair and got the best of the best! Mahshid, the owner, did another excellent job on retouching my roots, refreshing the hi-lights, and bring in the purple on the sides and the back of my hair. And to top it off, the haircut was just fabulous. Only 1 day has passed and compliments are unbelievable. Mahshid knows hair, knows color, knows cut, and is so talented in what she does. My root color from the last time did not match the colors I had chosen to do, and she took it upon herself to make sure the roots match! Now, THAT , to me is expertise that you don't find in every salon. Thank you Mahshid!! God bless. read more

He even dialed down the light when washing my hair because one of the lights was directly above the sink. The cut was $80 without tip. I was going to ask him to thin out my hair to make the layers pop out more but he read my mind and did it without me having to tell him. Overall, I highly recommend Kaison if you want someone who is very technical with the way they cut, who makes sure that the cuts are even, and who knows how to thin out hair depending on an individual's hair volume.

I've been coming to K-Vision Hair Studio ever since I moved to Irvine, and I honestly wouldn't go…read moreanywhere else. Kaison is incredibly efficient, super attentive to detail, and I've never had a haircut here that I didn't like. Every visit is consistent, clean, and professional -- no small talk unless you want it, just straight to the point and high-quality work. The pricing is a bit on the higher side -- I used to fall under the lower tier for shorter hair, but with the pricing change, I'm now in the "short haircut" category vs "extra short haircut", which is $70. Still, I keep coming back every month because the quality is worth it. The studio is located inside Sola Salons at the Crossroads plaza, so it can be a little tricky to find if it's your first time. But there's plenty of parking and once you know where to go, it's easy. Highly recommend if you care about precision and consistency in your haircut!
