Katie has been cutting and styling my hair in Costa Mesa for the past year now and this past March I had the pleasure of having her style my hair for my wedding. I knew I had wanted to rock my natural curls and she absolutely killed it. Not only did she travel from Orange County to San Marcos for the wedding, but she also stuck around to make sure my hair looked great for our pre ceremony photos. I cannot thank her enough for making me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt!

Katie hit the "new life" button on my hair. I hadn't colored it in nearly a decade and she used balayage to add light while leaving my brunette roots. I love it - sunkissed and refreshed. For the cut, I asked her to reshape while preserving the length and she did it. I love the curls around my face and she shared some great new styling techniques. THANK YOU KATIE! Great salon, nice attention to detail. Not a bad place to spend 3-4 hours :).

Karina is the BEST! She's done my hair a few times now and has never let me down. Every time I walk out of her chair, I feel like a brand new person. Most recently, I made a big change going from very long hair to a short cut and I she absolutely nailed it. She made the whole thing so fun and exciting and I'm obsessed with the result! Can't wait to go back. If you're thinking of booking with Karina, just do it. She's talented, professional, and genuinely passionate about what she does! You won't regret it!

I have been getting my hair done with Karina for several years now and she never disappoints. Not only does she get the color I want but my hair lasts vivid for months. I leave with beautiful hair and great conversation. I will be following her where she goes. I also love this little place she's working at now. Can't wait for my next visit!

Karina was amazing! She's been doing my hair for about 2 years now I have been following her wherever she moves. She always nails down the style I ask for. Shes also very knowledgeable on all the hair products what works best for your hair or texture. Love her!!

even after my hair grew, the color was still bright and nice!

I've been seeing Karina for months and I can confidently say she is one of the most talented and professional stylists I've ever worked with. Every appointment feels personalized, she truly listens to what I'm looking for while offering thoughtful, expert guidance that always enhances the final result Karina's care and attention for every detail in your hair is great! The salon experience is consistently welcoming, clean, and professional, making every visit something I look forward to. If you're looking for someone who combines artistry with professionalism, and who genuinely cares about their clients, I highly recommend booking with Karina! Best stylist out there. This is my hair after my appointment with her, loved it!

I had a curly cut by Katie and she DELIVEREDT. I am obsessed with the shape that this cut gives my hair and the bangs are exactly what I wanted. I've had curly bangs before and I was scared to get them again, but I just love the way she did them so much that I see myself continuing to get my bangs trimmed to keep them :) She taught me how to style my hair like this myself at home as well, showing me the products she used, how much of each product, and how to apply them. She also had the products available to purchase. The salon itself is very cute and inviting. On top of all of this I really enjoyed sitting in her chair and chit chatting! She is so sweet and also has amazing curls herself. Highly recommend

Karina is your go to girl for all hair needs! I've been going to her for a few years now and she always gives me exactly what I want. Not only will she be your hairstylist, but also your therapist, and friend. She is your go to girl for all your fun colors, cuts, and hair needs :)))

Been following Karina to each location she's ever been at. I love her work, her professionalism, I love her in general. She is so talented and the only one I will ever trust with my hair. I always get some of the best compliments from people on my hair; weather it's a cut or a touch up. Karina has not disappointed me or any of my referrals. & let's not forget those magical hands at the end (massage)!!!!!!!!! soooo goooooooodddd!

Best haircut I have had in 47 years!!!! I'm obsessed with my curls. Those with curly hair know how difficult it is to find someone who can cut our hair. Katie is amazing!!!! I have received SO many compliments. They're also commenting on the color and the shine. I have struggled all my life with my hair and for the first time, I am able to embrace my curls and feel good. She also took the time to teach me how to diffuse it and apply products at home. Thank you Katie!

Katie is amazing!! Perfectly matched my color to the inspo pic provided. Color has lasted beautifully

I love the atmosphere in this salon, professional yet completely comfortable! Jason is an amazing stylist you will never be disappointed with his work, he's truly an artist. I asked to be as blonde as he could get me and I had previous golden color on my hair and he absolutely killed it. Thanks again Jason!

So when it comes to hair I am the pickiest, most paranoid person in the world with getting any kind of change to it or trusting someone enough to come near it lol. I hadn't gotten my hair cut in about 7 years because my first experience was tragic so I never trusted hair salons after that as most of us girls could probably relate. With that being said, I am so so happy I came across this salon - specifically DUVAL (I found him on Instagram). I stocked his page and really liked the versatility and the different showcase of talents; He showed that he was good with all kinds of styles, cuts, and coloring so that was enough to make me feel comfortable in knowing that he knew what he was doing before I went in. I arrived and was greeted by his super sweet assistant, she offered me water and got me all set for Duval before he came out - He was super friendly and had a very calm aura about him which I definitely needed considering I was more nervous then ever!! I explained to him my trauma with my hair and told him I didn't exactly know what I wanted highlight wise but I knew I wanted layers and some long face frame bangs that would look good in a middle part AND also if I pulled all to one side. I told him i was nervous about getting highlights because I didn't want to look washed out because of my fair skin && he was very confident & excited with his response and told me he knew exactly what to do with my hair which made me more excited than nervous, so I appreciated it for sure. The pictures show the beautiful and amazing work he did on my hair, I've literally never felt more confident in my appearance!! I wanted a change so bad but was seriously terrified of getting in any chair and trusting someone else with it but I'm so glad I did. I wanted someone who would tell me what I wanted since I didn't really know what I wanted and for someone to make me feel excited about it happening and that's exactly what Duval did! His peers are so friendly and casual as well and it really is just such a good vibe all around. You really feel like you're in good hands & surrounded with professionals. Side note: He also gave me a discount cause he ended up doing a full set of highlights instead of a partial which is what I originally booked, so I thought that it was really nice he didn't try to up-charge me (: All in all if I could give this salon more stars I would, it really was the perfect experience with the most perfect outcome. Duval's Instagram is duval_hair if you wanna check him out!

I had such a great experience at SAGE, especially with Colby!…read more From the moment I arrived, everyone was welcoming and the salon itself is beautiful. 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.

I came in asking for a rich brown. Instead, I left with a very noticeable red/orange band across the top of my head that doesn't blend with the rest of my hair. I never asked for red hair, and the result is nothing like what I requested. Before I left the salon, after my hair was styled, I pointed out the banding because I could tell something looked off. I was told it looked fine, so I trusted the stylist's professional judgment. Looking back, I wish my concerns had been taken more seriously. I left for a planned trip to Europe shortly after my appointment, so I wasn't able to come back immediately. However, as soon as I returned, I repeatedly tried contacting my stylist and left multiple messages. I never received a response. When I finally spoke with the salon, I expected them to stand behind their work and correct the color. Instead, I was told I would have to pay again for an all-over color to fix a result that wasn't what I had asked for in the first place. At this point, I'll likely have to go to another salon for a professional color correction. Between what I already paid here and what it will cost to fix, I'm out around $500 or more. If achieving a rich brown on my hair wasn't something they were confident they could do, I wish they had been upfront about that before starting the service. I would have appreciated that honesty far more than ending up with a color I didn't ask for and an expensive correction process.

I would go visit someone based on multiple sourced reviews, only to be disappointed. This time around, I went to Reddit. Matt had replied to a request for a good haircut, providing a link to his cuts. They were unique, reflecting an artsy vibe, instead of the status quo. It was easy to get an appointment. Matt took his time exploring what I wanted and didn't want. Fortunately he has a preference for razor cuts as do I. Respect for a person who doesn't need scissors to shape the cut first. I He brought me a lovely French press as I had missed my morning dose. Matt is personable, making the wait entertaining as the magic took place. So charming,.

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.

I went to her in October for a refresh of my highlights. I was already nervous, since my previous stylist had moved away and always took great care of my fine hair, making sure it never got damaged. I told Caitlyn upfront that I was anxious about letting someone new bleach my hair, given a history of stylists frying it, and that I chose her specifically because she's a senior stylist. She reassured me she doesn't use heat dryers and starts with a low developer, so my hair would be fine. Once I was in the chair, I explained exactly what I wanted: a little brighter, a refresh of all my highlights, but keeping the dark root and dimension shown in my before photo. She agreed and got started. She never mentioned pricing, so I assumed it would be around $400 at most. During the appointment, she suggested going through my ends because they looked dark. I said maybe next time, since I wanted to preserve the integrity of my hair. Later, she mentioned she'd gone ahead and done a few extra pieces at the bottom anyway something I never asked for. By the time she finished washing my hair, it was already dark outside, so I told her not to worry about blow-drying it. I went home with wet hair. Even then, it looked extremely blonde, which worried me, but I assumed it was just because it was wet. At checkout, I was shocked: the total came to $650. I left a tip anyway because she was watching the screen as I paid and I felt put on the spot. (Receipts attached.) When I got home, my husband immediately said my hair looked way too blonde and pointed out broken pieces. He was right. Over the next few days, it kept breaking. My hair had taken years to get healthy, and in one appointment it became dry, brittle, and was falling out. The extra strands she did without asking only made the breakage worse. I ended up buying box dye to fix the color myself, since I hated how it looked. As of June 2026, I've had to cut at least 8 inches off, and I'm still working to repair the damage. This experience caused me real distress -- I loved my hair, and I deeply regret trying a new stylist. I'm sharing this so it doesn't happen to anyone else. Before, after, and current photos are attached.

Even though I only came in for a haircut, she took the time to give me honest advice about my hair. She recommended that I should focus on treating and restoring my hair first, and then come back next time for coloring so the results would look better and healthier. 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!
