Haircut by Leo was very well done. - very happy with it! He was informative and respectful - cost was reasonable. Would give a 4/5 based on the haircut. But, the setting was cavernous/mostly black color and quite 'aged' /a poor reflection of the property owner - nothing a good paint job couldn't fix (maybe a warm grey color) ... not quite what I expected but he knew how to cut hair. read more

Went today for the first time & had Henry as id seen good reviews about him. Such a nice guy & did a great job on my hair. The place was clean & very inviting. I will definitely go back, thank you Henry! read more

The New Difference - Hair Stylists Near Me - Placentia, California

I have been looking for a place like this for years!!! Leo was fantastic and understood exactly what I needed. I asked for baby highlights and showed him a picture of what I wanted. He surpassed all of my expectations. All. Of. Them. He was kind, listened to my ideas and he delivered! From the moment we spoke on the phone, he provided a great appointment time that worked for me. When I arrived, he walked me through the process and provided some suggestions based on the picture I shared with him. I got a shadow highlight but he can do many other styles. Although these appointments usually take a long time, he was efficient and time conscious. He explained how long each phase would take which made it easier to complete. His technique is spot on! Thank you Mr. Leo, you are a true hair artist! read more

I visited this salon for a number of years and my hairdresser ended up moving to another state. After she left, I tried to give the other hairdressers a try however, a number of them kept changing. The owner continued to refer me to a hairdresser whom I did not appreciate as he would ask me silly inappropriate questions while cutting my hair and would display a bad attitude at times. Unfortunately my last hair cut was performed by this hairdresser and he decided to price gauge me on a haircut with blow dry which left a bad taste in my mouth. Compared to the other hairdressers, he was the only who behaved this way as the others offered better customer service and consistent pricing. Additionally, the staff could improve on the cleanliness of their stations. More times than not, their stations would be dusty and supplies would be spread out all over the counters during slow periods in the salon. After my last few haircut experiences, I would no longer recommend this salon to a friend. Best of luck to this small business. read more

At first I did not wanted to put this review on Yelp, but I just cannot forget the way I felt for the past couple of weeks since Sylvia from New Difference worked on my hair. First, this is is the result of a poorly and rushed job. She stained my clothes, my skin to the point where I couldn't put my hair up because the skin had big patches of black dye color. She left dye color in my hair, and because of that, I had to wash my hair the same day and the entire red color came right off. The saddest part, is that she charged me $240 for this poorly done job and left me with all my face skin stained. I hope the owner, Henry will do something about it, because she cannot let a customers get out of the door in this condition. read more

The New Difference - Bayalage he did for me in December 2018 - Hair Stylists Near Me - Placentia, California

I was looking for a hairstylist that could do an icy blonde and was recommended Henry. I called and right away they scheduled me for the next day. I came in and Henry was super friendly. He asked me what I was looking to do with my hair and said ok I can do it. The price was reasonable for the work to be done. Even while my hair was wet, I could see the nice cool blonde I was looking for. Henry does an amazing job with color and cut. I've been coming to him for a couple years now just a little delayed with my review. He's taken me from color correction, to brown, to blonde again. Definitely worth the 30 min drive to see him. read more

The New Difference - 1 session from Brown to Blonde. Thanks Henry!! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Placentia, California

This place is amazing! Honest people and unbeatable prices. Leo and Henry both did a quick consult with me and let me know that since I had black in my hair that it was going to be hard to get blond balayage highlights. He let me know that it would burn my hair a bit but if I wanted to take the chance then he would do it. Well I'm glad I did it because Leo did wonders on my hair! I am so happy with my hair that I even got my father in law to go get his hair done with Leo as well. I highly recommend going to this place!!! read more

Today I not only met and experienced a truly talented hair stylist, I made a life long friendship. I have been going to get my hair done by someone who I have a lotta love for, but recently it's just not been working out with my schedule.

I asked for a trim and he cut off a huge amount of my hair and made super severe layers. I couldn't be more devastated. I guess you get what you pay for and I definitely learned my lesson this time. ... now to go hide under a rock for 3 months and hope it grows back fast. read more

This place is absolutely wonderful. Henry and Lily did a great job cutting my hair and dying it a wonderful color. I wanted to try a change since I've been dying my hair bleached blonde since I was 12. They did a fantastic job dying my hair partially brown, fading into a metallic grey, and fading out into a beautiful lilac. They dedicated so much time and work to perfect my hair and help me heal from a crazy break up! I would definitely recommend this place. I'm 100% going back. read more

I used to go somewhere else for my haircuts & I noticed my hair was not growing out at all. Something was wrong. It was always dry and nasty. I started going to The New Difference because I would get my nails done at the salon next door. I have been going there for the last 3 yrs. I am there every 10-12 weeks. Henry does a fabulous job and my hair grows out fast. I love it! I always keep it long, in a V shape, no layers. And Henry always gets it right. Like we say in Spanish "tiene buena mano" meaning he has a good hand, he definitely knows what he is doing. I sent my boyfriend's niece there, she went on her own and texted me that same day and said she felt so relaxed and loved her new haircut. She said Henry gave her a lot of volume with layers and is definitely going back. Both her & I will be going in together sometime in December to get another cut and possibly even try a Brazilian blowout. I definitely trust Henry with my hair (: read more

Today was the fourth time I come to this place, I even brought a friend because Henry always does such a great job with my hair.

Would definitely recommend, i'm going to be bringing all my friends along for a haircut! read more

The New Difference - A line cut - Hair Stylists Near Me - Placentia, California

We've been looking for a place closer to home to take my mother in law to have her hair done. She has lived with us under the Orange Curtain for about seven years now & while she was driving she would still drive back to Montebello in LA County to have her beauty day. Unfortunately, her sight isn't what it used to be, which left us with having to drive over 30 miles to drop her off for her beauty day, & rearrange work. We had tried different local shops but I could tell something was missing. I decided we would give The New Difference a try. The salon is bright & colorful & we were pleasantly greeted. Sylvia was able to take my mother in law & immediately I could see she was at ease. She gave her a cut & color & made her feel at home. I can tell she was satisfied & we will be back. read more

I've had a very long hair journey coming from a natural ash blonde, coloring it basically black over and over I've been scared and wary of letting anyone touch my hair the past four years and I came here to Henry on a coworkers recommendation (she's been coming here for ten years) and I thought I just wanted a root touch up with a tone but my heart told me to trust Henry and let him lighten my ends and make my hair a better , more manageable color and HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT I've secretly also wanted to be a cosmetologist my whole life so getting into his chair and knowing he knows levels and colors perfectly helped so .... he nailed it. Shadow root that blends to my new lighter ends perfectly. I will literally never go to anyone else unless I move out of the state ! COME HERE read more

I've been coming here for 15 years now., that is since it opened . We moved to Corona and we've been living here for 5 years already. I tried at least four hair salons around my new city but they can't do the magic Henry does each time I go to The New Difference. Henry is the best hairstylist I ever had. I never told him what to do with my hair. I just tell him I want to step out of the door beautiful and I never get disappointed. read more

I FINALLY found a personal hair stylist! I will never go anywhere else again!! Henry is amazing!! I went in last month for a color.

Henry even knows me by name and I have only personally been there once. Now my whole family goes. Henry is an artist, not just a hair stylist. I am thankful I was referred to the New Difference. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

I couldn't be happier! read more

So I went back to the salon to Leo because I couldn't stand my hair!! I hated looking at it. I told Leo if Henry can fix my hair instead. I did not want having to risk him messing up my hair again. So Henry did the magic! He was amazing! He fixed my hair and I love it now. He was very friendly too. I will be back to this salon because of him. When you go here, ask for Henry; he's the best (: He's the reason I am updating my 1 star rate before to a 5 star! He said he's been doing this for 18 years. I can tell! read more

My stylist of 10 years from Alexander's Salon recently moved out of state so I just went to Yelp to try to find someone local to cut and style my hair. After reading reviews I decided to make an appointment with Henry. I'll be honest, I was a little nervous about having someone new cut my hair but Henry did a fantastic job and I was very pleased with my new style. They use good quality shampoos/conditioners too which I appreciated. I would probably rate the salon itself like a 3.5 but Henry really knows how to work his way around those scissors so I would rate his talent/skills a 5+! I think I found my new hairstylist!!! Yay! Did I mention how much I love Yelp?!?!? read more
