Lighten and Tone and haircut by Kimberly Shepherd
Rina K.

I've been going to Kim about a year now and I'm always impressed with the detailed consultation and amount of information she is able to gather and give her professional feedback on. This time when I came in I asked for the tone to be a bit more cooler than before. Kim also retouched my bleached sectioned hair and gave me a root shadow for an easier grow out - since my black hair grows very quickly the root shadow would make the blend more seamless and allow me to go longer between sessions. The studio is fairly large and has a lot of natural light which makes sitting and waiting for your color(s) to process a lot nicer. They also have a coffee machine and various drinks in the lobby area as well. Highly recommend Kim !

Really disappointed with my second visit with Mia . My first appointment went well, but this time felt rushed (about half the time), and my hair was cut before and after being styled while curled--making it hard to see how uneven and choppy it actually was. My appointment was also postponed the day of without a call or text. I only found out through Vagaro via email and had to reach out to Mia myself, which felt very unprofessional. When I noticed the uneven cut, I requested a refund multiple times and was refused. I also didn't feel comfortable going back to have it fixed. I'd recommend asking not to have your hair cut after it's styled, since curls can hide unevenness, better yet don't get your hair cut by Mia at all. Overall, very disappointed and now I have to pay to get it fixed elsewhere.

So I'm writing this review for the overall hope for improvement for the next clients as I won't make the commute to come back for corrections, I commuted from Encino to Fullerton about (1 & 1/2 hour ) drive. I was super excited to come get my hair done by Alyssa. I follow her on TikTok and I truly thought her work was gorgeous. Upon arriving to the salon, I was pleasantly surprised I was taken to be seen on time at 9:15am. We went over what I was looking for and how I wanted to have something with a noticeably difference. Past experiences I have gotten my hair dyed and felt it looked almost like it was just a touch up instead of whole new color. I expressed that, Alyssa understood. She stated I need a blow dry and wash since build up to get started. I definitely think during booking the reception should say please come with your washed hair but I digress. We washed and blow dried my hair and was done at 10:00. Her assistant said Alyssa will be right with you, as she was wrapping up with her first client.. about 35 minutes later we resume, which I found a waste of time. But stuff happens, I understand so I thought that would be a one off of waiting long period with doing nothing. We did a full balayage for $500 dollars. Since I've had balayages done before I anticipated about 3 hours. While foiling Alyssa mentioned the service will take 4 1/2 hours. Longer than usual but that's okay for the work she does. Since we bleach my hair, she said okay everything is looking as expected well wash out my hair some sections 10 minutes and the rest 30 minutes. She then starts her 2nd client in between my appointment slot, which again I don't mind because I'm lifting color. But then the time frame she gave comes and goes .. I wait 40 minutes go by .. 50 minutes go by and then we finally wash it out. Once done washing she said okay a treatment needs to sit in my hair for 10 minutes and she's going to mix my color in the meantime. Nope.. I then wait at the sink bowl for 40 minutes, just waiting. In my opinion, yes she can resume with her second client but apply my toner while I'm waiting 40 minutes. It's now already 2:00pm been 5 hours since the start for my appointment and all we've done is highlights... All this to say my appointment process continues to go like this. Alyssa is with me for maybe 20 minutes at a time and I'm left waiting long periods, whatever the task at hand needs to develop add about 30 minutes of additional waiting. I finally finish my hair at 4:47. My hair looks brown.. I paid $550 with tip, for brown hair/ grays still showing at the root and was there for 7 and half hours!! (9:15-4:47). Biggest disappointment , my hair doesn't look bad but I've been to other stylist for $250 and had the same out come and was in the seat for two hours. She was severely over booked and customer service lacked. Communication goes a long way, a thank you for waiting during long duration would've been appreciated.

Color correction and hair cut done

I am so happy I came to Thereze for my hair. The outcome is everything I hoped for and she was lovely. She took me step by step with everything. I got the color correction and hair cut done. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. She did a wonderful job. The environment was peaceful as well and everyone was very kind. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

You worked your magic again -Thank you Nicole for the amazing cut/color! Obsessed with my new hair :)

Blonde cut and color

Michael is the best!! I absolutely love my cut and color and the customer service is always spot on. Would highly recommend!!

Jill B.

Noel is the absolute best! I come out of the salon feeling like a rockstar every time and always get so many compliments on my hair . She is very good with thick curly hair. She is extremely honest, and her passion for her craft comes through everytime. Everyone that works there is also very friendly. Highly recommend.

Weird uneven bangs.

I had originally scheduled an appointment for September 5, 2026, at 12:40 PM with Veronica on…read moreInstagram (@glowbyverooo) for just a haircut. Before booking, I was required to place a $20 deposit to reserve my spot, and shortly after completing the authorization application, I received my confirmation details via email. I then reached out to Veronica on Instagram to ask a few questions regarding my service. She took the time to thoroughly respond to each question with precision, knowledge, and detail. With this useful information, I decided to upgrade my service to an All-Over Color & Haircut. Later on, I changed my mind and decided I wanted to maintain my natural color and only proceed with a haircut. I also needed to reschedule because my calendar no longer aligned with that date. I contacted Veronica again, and she kindly rescheduled me for a new date: September 26, 2026, at 2:00 PM. Finally, the day of my appointment, I walked in and waited for only about a minute. Veronica greeted me with a positive attitude and seated me to begin my service. Before starting, she asked to see my reference photo. Once I showed her, she was very transparent with me upfront: she wouldn't be able to perform or guarantee that I would be 100% satisfied with the result because my reference photo did not align with her specialty. Veronica could have simply proceeded with the service and taken the payment, but instead, she honestly explained the situation. She even went out of her way to refer me to someone else who specializes in what I was requesting, and on top of that, she immediately refunded my $20 deposit. Instead of jeopardizing my service for her own benefit, she valued my time, money, and self-confidence by passing up a business opportunity. If you're reading this, I highly encourage you to consider booking your next appointment with Veronica because that level of integrity and honesty will definitely gain her an abundance of business opportunities and loyal customers. Thank you, Veronica! You're a heaven-sent angel.

Recently, I wanted to get my hair cut by her again but she gets booked so if you want your hair cut by her, book a good amount in advance!! Instead, I booked with Alice. Her english seems to be a little limited but I didn't mind at all, she was very kind and I just played her a video showing the haircut I wanted. I got a long layered haircut with some curtain bangs, and cost me $130. I only complain a little because I'm broke lol but otherwise I suppose it was worth it, because it's one of the better haircuts I've gotten in my life. Also, my hair was extremely long (butt length) but Alice handled it well and was also able to finish the haircut in about an hour. Would definitely come back in the future to see either alice or stacey! *note: at the time of my haircut (oct 2024) they were no longer working out of their DTF salon! they're now in brea.

I've been to Mina twice now and I had amazing experiences both times. I first went for a haircut…read morewithout any direction and asked if she could make suggestions based on my hair type, face shape, preference for maintenance, etc. She took the time to offer suggestions based on my preferences and let me know the pros and cons of each decision - like more wispy layers means more styling Even after the haircut she gave me tips on how to style my new hair and what products to use to give it the chunky piece-y look I was going for. The second time I went for a hair color appointment and it was just as quality of a service. We talked through color options before she settled me in with the iPad and a coffee. I usually react to hair dye formulas so I've accepted it as part of the experience if I want my hair colored. But I walked out without any staining on my face and no reactions either. It was honestly such a great experience I can't wait to go back and do something else!!

Pro and Con. Pro:…read more - The online booking system makes it a clean easy way to schedule your appointment. Con: - Also the online booking system. It isn't clear from Yelp when you are going to hear back and if your appointment is booked until you jump through several hoops. It's only after you do all that that its clear. Pro: - The person cutting seems professional and sweet Con: - Absolutely EXPENSIVE. $90 starting price and up depending on the needs. I get that but she charged my daughter $120. For what? Because her hair was long. OK, if we had special needs or she wanted to cut a lot, etc. maybe it's more work. However, we just cut 2 inches all the way and had bangs. That's it. Nothing else. No color. Nothing. In what way does her long hair make a difference? it doesn't. It was a rip off and my daughter said 2 days later after giving it time that it was only Mehhhh.

Modern Beige gives their absolute best to each and every customer with kind, welcoming, accommodating customer service every single time with fun beverage & snack options.

Mai did a good job, however the color was just not what I had asked for. I reached out to her that same night to explain and politely asked if we could adjust the color and touch it up.

The staff offered me snacks and Miriam especially was so sweet and made sure I was comfortable when washing my hair! Downsides, my hair does feel very dry and damaged now. They were pretty busy and my stylist was alternating between me and two other women, even though I had an appointment. It kind of felt like they forgot about me at times and they left the color and bleach in my hair for a very long time without checking on me regularly. Overall, I'm not sure that I will return because it is fairly expensive. But I do really appreciate Mai fixing my color!
