I had a great experience at SAGE! The salon is located at a beautiful courtyard. On the second…read morefloor, is their space with a lovely designed interior. Valet is apparently free, but I found street parking in front of OSPI. I initially found SAGE on Yelp, then visited their website to learn more before booking. I really appreciated how transparent they are. Each stylist has a profile with a bio and a picture. The services and individual pricings are listed upfront in the booking portal, which made it easy to choose someone who fit what I was looking for. Price transparency is important to me, and at the very end I was charged exactly what I booked. My stylist was Mikayla, and she was incredibly meticulous/detail-oriented. She spent about 4.5 hours perfecting my Full Highlights, and I never felt like she was rushing through any part of the process. During the consultation, I felt heard. She listened to what I wanted without any judgment or pressure to steer me toward a different outcome. Instead, the conversation felt collaborative, with explanations that helped me make informed decisions. I know for some, having to chat for all that time may be daunting. Mikayla struck the perfect balance between friendly conversation and giving me space. She clearly communicated each step of the process before doing it. My Full Highlights service included foiling, toning, a shadow root, a hair mask, and a full blowout. I'm so happy with how everything turned out!

Colby really took the time to listen to what I wanted and understood exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to keep my long hair while adding movement and shape, and he absolutely nailed it. My hair finally looks the way I had envisioned. Beyond his talent, he was incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout the appointment. Before I left, he even let me know that if there was anything I'd like adjusted after living with the haircut for a few days, he'd be happy to take care of it. That level of care and attention really stood out. I'm so glad I found both SAGE and Colby. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a stylist who truly listens and delivers.

Aside from a few highlights around my face and on the top of my head, it didn't look like I had recently had my roots highlights touched up at all. My hair looks grown out as if I had not even had it done. Watch the video and you be the judge. When I brought up my concerns, the owner, I sent her this same video (Emily) explained that this is what the salon considers a partial ROOT highlight touchup. I already had my hair previously bleached . I respect that explanation, but for $240 plus a $50 tip ($290 total), I expected a more noticeable result. She offered to correct it for an additional $50. I'm sharing my experience so others can make an informed decision and have a clear understanding of what this salon considers a partial highlight ROOT service.

I remember feeling extremely nervous the first time I lightened my hair, worried about potential damage. Thao guided me through the entire process and reassured me that she would keep my hair healthy while also making sure it remained low maintenance. Over the years, I've gone from dark to light and back to dark again. Each time, Thao has been incredibly professional and patient. I remember sending her numerous inspiration photos, and she was always honest about what was achievable with my hair. Without causing any damage, she successfully lightened my hair without it ever becoming brassy. Keep in mind when you go light, you have to get it toned and maintain your hair or it could potentially get brassy. Thao is very personable and always makes me feel welcomed and comfortable--like she's not just my hairstylist but also my therapist. I constantly get compliments on my cut and color, thanks to her. Whether it's your first time getting your hair done or you've been coloring it for years and need someone new you can trust, I highly recommend Thao! Hair Society recently relocated and is now at Tomahawk Salon, located at 775 West 17th St, Costa Mesa, CA 92627.

What really impressed me was her thoughtfulness -- she noticed that my roots had grown out unevenly in color, so she went ahead and blended the color to match the rest of my hair. And she didn't charge me anything extra for it, only for the haircut. You can truly tell that she cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. She's not only skilled but also very genuine and attentive. I will definitely be coming back to her again Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone talented, honest, and kind!

This might not matter to everyone reading this, but for neurodivergent peeps (and anyone with sensory preferences), I would just say be a little cautious. I've been coming here for about six-ish years, and overall they are fantastic at what they do. Everyone is skilled, and their work in both cuts and color is genuinely good. For my recent appointment, I wanted to go shorter, but keep the front longer because I have sensory issues. I know that if the front pieces are too short, it bothers me a lot. I brought inspo photos to show exactly what I was aiming for--something a little more unconventional, short in the back but still longer in the front so I wouldn't have to style it. During the appointment, my stylist suggested not going too long in the front so it wouldn't feel unbalanced, which I understood. I said that was fine, as long as it was still long enough. But in the end, I was given a pretty traditional, trendy bob. The issue is that my hair naturally curves inward, so now it cups into my face, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid. I also don't style my hair (my stylist knows this--I've been going here for years), so this cut now requires styling for it to sit comfortably, which just doesn't work for me. This haircut was also for my graduation, so it was a really important moment for me, and that added to the disappointment. I do want to say that they refunded me, which I really appreciate--they handled that part well. But I'm still left with a haircut that causes a lot of sensory discomfort, and my only options are to cut it shorter or wait it out. For most people, this might not feel like a big deal. But for someone who is neurodivergent, small things like how hair sits on your face can be overwhelming and affect your day-to-day comfort. If you're looking for something more traditional or trendy, they do great work. But if you're looking for something more unconventional or very specific to your personal needs, just make sure you really advocate for yourself and feel fully aligned before committing. Photos below show the inspiration I brought, how it looked styled the day of, and how it falls naturally a few days later--which is essentially just a standard bob, not the "party in the front, business in the back" I was going for. Haha!
