I followed my favorite hairstylist, Stephanie, here and it's very cozy. Plenty of free parking in the front and behind the building. It's also close to downtown Brea and Brea improv so very convenient. No traffic on the weekends. Clean and professional, Stephanie always does a great job with my A-Line bob. Here's to many successful years to come. read more

My hair stylist, Stephanie--who I have been going to for years just moved here so I followed her to this salon. This salon is a perfect place to go for a cut as a man, women or child as it super clean and personal. Its not a gigantic salon with a whole bunch of stylist, which makes it feel more personal. Parking is easy at this salon. There is parking directly behind the salon. read more

Ten years in, and I'd give eleven stars if Yelp lets me. Finding a reliable, affordable haircut as a guy is harder than it sounds. My previous stylist cut my hair for over two decades before retiring and moving back to Korea -- and suddenly I was adrift. After experimenting through more options than I'd like to admit, I stumbled onto The Cutting Edge, conveniently close to home in Brea. That was over ten years ago. I haven't looked since. The prices are fair, the shop is consistently clean, and Miriana -- the proprietress -- is the kind of person who makes you feel like you've known her forever. She's the rare individual who manages to feel like a sister, a favorite aunt, and a trusted friend all at once. The haircut keeps you coming back -- but Miriana is why you stay loyal. I've kept this place close to the chest for years -- some things you don't want the whole world knowing about. But Miriana has more than earned a public thank you. Five stars, no hesitation. Ten, if Yelp ever upgrades their system. Nicely done Cutting Edge Brea! read more

Finding a hair stylist is hit and miss. Don't hesitate to try others in this hair salon.

OMG!!!!! Tuoi is so nice! So today, I wanted to cut off some extra parts of my hair because it bothers me a lot! I searched for a salon around me. All I needed was a trim, but I was worried that a cheap haircut wouldn't turn out nice. However, I wasn't planning to pay $70 just for trimming my hair. I found this place and was kinda worried at first. However, Tuoi was so nice and listened to my concerns. I think she did a great job! When I saw Tuoi cut the guy's hair before me, I felt less worried. She did a pretty good job. When it was my turn, she asked me how much I wanted to cut. She cut about one inch, and then I said maybe cut a little more, so she cut a little more! She even merged the layers for me, so the back wouldn't look like two layers apart and awkward. read more

Well..... I was disappointed with my haircut As I did not get what I asked for. I asked Gemma for long layers in the front as well as in the back of my hair which is mid back. Just when I thought she was done with my haircut, I had to tell her to layer my front more it looked like she gave me a long bangs and there were no layers around my face. Not happy, The supposed layers she gave me on my face are very uneven and I have no choice but to wait until they grow out again. look at my picture, those look like long bangs not layers. However, my granddaughter got her haircut that same day by Sophia, and she did an amazing job on her haircut. My next hair trim will definitely be by Sophia. She took her time and was very thorough with every cut she made. read more

My boyfriend and I went to the Cutting Edge on a Sunday afternoon as walk-ins. My boyfriend was the one who had his hair cut. Sophia speaks Spanish so he had no problem communicating what kind of haircut he wanted and she executed his idea perfectly. 10/10 experience, I'll definitely come here for my next cut! read more

I dropped in to get my hair cut here for the first time this past week. Tuoi was so welcoming! I needed a refresh and ended up cutting about 4-5 inches off of my hair. She did a great job on my cut and blow dry and I was out of there in just over an hour. read more

I love Miriana! She's so sweet. Prices are very good. Place is very clean. She does a good job of taking care of my hair.

Miriana is amazing! She's skilled, attentive, and made my salon experience fantastic plus gave me a flawless results. Highly recommend her!

Everyone who works here is so nice, the place is really cute, the prices are right, and they are all very talented.

Great place. Jackie knows what she's doing for a mens cut. I think she's working less these days now though. Thuy is a little hard to understand and doesn't have as great a bedside manner but also does a pretty solid cut. read more

Oops, she did it again! Sophie- my new fav stylist is by far, one of the best I've ever worked with. She truly knows how to work with my mane- and has far more talent than she even realizes. If you're looking for the best, the Cutting Edge is the place to find it! read more

Eunice is amazing. My hair was completely discolored and messed up from store-bought-self-colored-gray-coverage hair coloring attempts. She fixed it and knew exactly what color to recommend & apply on me to look my best. Got endless compliments on how the new color really suits me, from countless people, even strangers. The key here is that I have sensitive scalp and get a really bad rash reaction from regular dyes, therefore never can get my hair colored professionally at salons. However, she is able to provide & use a more natural dye on me, and the color lasts! Permanently. =) She is now my trusted go-to person for root touch ups for about a year now. She's friendly, approachable, sweet, efficient, and professional. When I'm too busy to visit her & try to color at home, the result is just not worth the time investment. Appointment is definitely recommended. They get really busy. Appointments are all pretty on-time. I never had to wait when I show up on time. I used to park on the main street until I found out there are plenty of parking behind the building, with convenient access from their back door. Everyone who work there are really sweet, nice, and friendly. Interior Decor is modern and comfortable. read more

Sofia cut my hair this morning and did an amazing job! She's super friendly and works quickly. I really appreciated that she asked me what I wanted and perceived to give me exactly what I asked for. She was very careful not to cut to much off since I wanted to keep the length. Will definitely be going back to her. Highly recommend!! read more

I LOVE MIRIANA SO MUCH!! I have been struggling to grow out my over-processed and badly layered haircut that I gave myself during lockdown. Since then I have been cutting the ends of my hair straight across and not touching the layers which i've been mostly able to grow out. Now the ends of my old layers have stopped growing due to breakage while the bottom layer is healthiest, so I knew i needed a layered trim immediately. Of course I was hesitant because I don't trust any hair dresser's definition of long layers (they usually thin my hair out so bad and go way too short) but Miriana listened to all of my concerns and gave me such a beautiful, full, long layered cut without sacrificing my length! My layers no longer snap off when I run the brush through. I couldn't believe how soft my usually straw-like hair felt that I even purchased the Redken leave-in she used! They're also amazingly affordable. $45 for wash, cut, and blowout. I'm obsessed and won't let anyone else touch my hair ever again. read more

So after over 1.5 years I wanted to give this place another chance. I made an appointment for my two young boys today at 1:30 pm. We came around 1:20 pm and were told that the stylist I will be done soon. No problem was my response and waited patiently. I finally gave up around 1:57 pm since the stylist looked like she wasn't close on being done (my appointment was at 1:30 pm!). I told the owner that this is not the first time Cutting Edge wasted my time. All they said was "sorry" for the delay. I replied back that delay for a haircut is 10 minutes to 15 minutes tops, I waited almost 30 minutes and the stylist wasn't close to being finished so that's not a "delay". They just flat out WASTED my time. Cutting Edge doesn't give a damn about customers time, they want the customers to accommodate the stylist time and not the other way around. Safe to say I will NEVER come back here again. Respect your customers time first. Be reasonable on the delays. More than 20 to 30 minutes waiting for a haircut after a scheduled appointment is unacceptable. What if the customers were late, do you honestly think the stylist will wait for the customers.... Hell NO. They will go cancel the appointment and get to the next customer. So good riddance Dull Cutting Edge. read more

I made a impromptu hair appointment after struggling with the weight of my hair and length . I was given an appt with tuy on very short notice (on my part) . She was very attentive and made sure I was ok with my length before cutting and very reassuring . She made sure my layers were blended and I was satisfied with my length . I felt so much better after leaving . Great service and quality read more

I had an OK experience here, thus, 3 stars for "A-OK". The hairdresser (I believe her name must be Tuoi) was friendly and in the beginning she had me look with a mirror and point to where I wanted my haircut length to be, and she cut it there for reference. I thought that was a nice way to make absolutely sure that customers were happy with the length. However, when the haircut was all finished and done, I was surprised to look back with a mirror and see that it was about 2 inches shorter than where it was supposed to be. Thankfully I was craving a fresh haircut after all the stay-at-home craziness, so I didn't mind the new shorter 'do too much, but if I had been attached to keeping my hair long I would have been upset -- just a warning to those who care. Right now my hair is definitely medium-length when I had originally wanted it to remain long. I still think it's cute and she did a good job with layering, but it's just not the length I expected (nor the length I thought was "agreed" upon). The price was very affordable, and I felt too bad to complain irl because what's done is done anyway, but I'm just sharing my honest experience here. read more

Love this salon!!! Great service and safety is their priority. They use high end products and take their time with clients.

I came in for a haircut only. I was assigned to Emma. Once a year I get a large amount of my hair cut off, about 10-12 inches. I found a picture and showed the stylist and she seemed concerned. I told her a good amount of bulk needs to be sheered/thinned from the ends as well otherwise the cut can be very unflattering. She was clearly nervous to cut that much off and I kept having to tell her to go shorter and shorter. Once she was done cutting the length off she started to blow dry my hair with no heat resistant product. When she was done blow drying she saw my hair needed to be thinned out. She used her regular shears and not thinning shears. After an attempt to thin my hair, I had to tell her to use thinning shears. I did not want to continue to make her feel uncomfortable so I left with a haircut I disliked. It is still bulky on the ends and not as short as I requested. If the stylist was uncomfortable cutting that much hair I would have much rather her told me upfront than give me a subpar haircut. I will more than likely not go back and will need to get another haircut sooner than later. read more

I got a hair cut by short asian lady.. i think her name was Tuoi. She went nuts on my hair with those scissors . I hip length hair and we agreed to cut then till waist. She initially cut my hair of length that was agreed and then gave me head wash. Then she started giving them layers .. and the end result was short hair just below the shoulder. She chopped off min 12 inch of my hair whereas we agreed 2-3 inch. She also kind of rushed me because she had another appointment waiting . It takes long time to grow long hair and i really wanted waist length. After i came back home and read other reviews for her .. apparently she has done the same with many other people. Beware .. she goes nuts with scissors.. u will have to say goodbye to ur long hair . read more

Miriana is the ONLY person I trust to cut my hair. She is kind, efficient, and reliable. Couldn't recommend her more.

Decided to give this place another try after switching many years ago and was so glad I did! Sofia really took the time to make sure I got the results I wanted and she nailed it! Not going anywhere else. I can't wait to go back! Thanks again for making my return to the salon such a pleasant one. read more

Went in for the first time with the intension of getting a medium length a line haircut. Stylist Jackie did not only give me a classic a line which is much shorter and she also didn't layer my hair so I have a mushroom shaped haircut. I tired to walk away happy with it but was so uncomfortable with the cut I went back the same day to get it corrected as much as possible. With that said the haircut is much shorter then desired and there was no a line look on the end. Not much to complain but couldn't live with the mushroom in the back. Sophia saved my hair to at least look decent. Thank you to her. read more

What can I say... took my kids here once for a haircut and won't be back. We had appts on a Saturday and had difficulty finding parking due to the yoga studio's class. Showed up at 10:07 for a 10am appt and was reprimanded by the stylist for not being prompt. She would not shut up about it and kept going on and on. Even another client with a different stylist was giving her a WTF look. Another appt came in at 10:15 and she turned and said to them while pointing at me "now I'm running behind because SHE was late!" Than she said "you need to call me if you're going to be late." Seriously lady?!?! Yes, let me pull out my phone while driving so I can call you. Maybe don't open a salon where there 1/2 the parking is taking up by residence parking. Definitely, not returning. read more

Toui was awesome and she is really funny. She did a great job on cutting my hair!! I found my new haircut place!

Tuoi was amazing today when she cut my hair!! She went above and beyond and spent a lot of time on my hair. The best part was she was so confident about her skills and I could tell even before she told me she started cutting hair since 1996. She is veery experienced and always does exactly what you ask for. She gave me layers for my very long hair and she cut it shorter so all the dry hair and split ends were cut off. My hair feels much lighter, healthier, and more voluminous! Thank you Tuoi!! read more

9/26/15 4 stars: Took my 7 year old here for a hair cut. It was $13 not including tip. The salon was clean. The ladies were very nice and welcoming. We got what we asked for from Raylene (?...she has the middle station/chair). She took her time with cutting and styling his hair. 4 stars because she didn't wash his hair before or after (he came in with product in his hair) and styled his hair with more product. 4/11/16 5 stars: Miriana is the absolute best!! My son and I don't let anyone else cut or color our hair but her. We've waited a month if it more (due to opposite schedules) to have her cut our hair. She is sweet, thorough, and always gives us what we request - if there is any uncertainty on our part, she double checks with us. Prices are very reasonable and service is quick! read more

Not sure who did my hair but I asked for layers. She bunched half my hair up and chopped it right off. She only made one layer so my long hair was just sticking out like I had extensions on. I asked her to fix it and blend it so it transitions more clean but she claims to not see the problem. I left very unhappy with a horrible hair cut. It's $18 just a cut, no wash, no blowdry. I had to tell you how to cut my own hair which seemed very unprofessional. read more

The Cutting Edge Brea - You can see the one layer then the rest of my hair. Very unhappy and she couldn't even fix it. - Hair Salons Near Me - Brea, California

This is my second time to The Cutting Edge. My husband has been coming here for awhile and recently when my old hairstylist got married and left the city, I was forced to find a new one! I am soooo glad I decided to try this place! I had Miriana the first time - very warm and welcoming. She's the owner. Just today, I tried Pearly. She was very kind and most importantly my haircut turned out amazing! I have thick, straight asian hair that most stylists like to layer the heck out of to make my hair feel lighter. BUT, it ends up looking too choppy. I explained to Pearly my concerns and how I wanted to blend my layers a bit more, and she did exactly as I asked. Very gentle and sweet. If you're skeptical, give this place a try! The only downside is they don't take appointments for haircuts so you MAY have to wait. But for great service and a great price (my wash, haircut, and light blowdry was only $18), the wait is worth it in my book! read more
