    Cut by Travis (4/18/26)

    I decided to book with Travis two years ago, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made for my hair. After having an extensive hair history, meeting with multiple stylists, and having my hair different colors, Travis genuinely saved my hair. He is so thorough and so knowledgable about his work it is the greatest feeling going to him about my hair. Im so grateful not only for his work but his company, as he is such a great person to talk to. If you're looking for a sign to get your haircut by him let this be one of them. Travis is one of the best.

    I've been seeing Travis for almost two years now, and I can confidently say he's the best hairstylist I've ever been to. I don't plan on going to anyone else. As someone with Asian hair, it can be hard to find a stylist who truly understands how to work with the texture and create layers that actually complement it. Travis absolutely does. He's incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to understand what will work best for your hair instead of just giving you a standard haircut. The biggest difference I've noticed since switching to him is how easy my hair is to style every day. His layering technique gives my hair so much movement and shape without making it difficult to manage. I actually enjoy styling my hair now because it falls so naturally. What impresses me the most is how beautifully his haircuts grow out. I only get a trim every 4 to 6 months, and even by the time I'm ready for my next appointment, my hair still looks healthy, balanced, and intentional. I've never had another stylist whose cuts held up this well over time. If you're looking for someone who truly understands layers and Asian hair, I can't recommend Travis enough. He's talented, consistent, and worth every penny. I always leave feeling so happy with my hair.

    I've been going to Travis for almost 2 years now and he's the only person I trust with my hair. He's incredibly detail oriented, thorough, and will make sure you leave his seat loving your new haircut. He'll also tailor your haircut to your face shape and tell you honestly what does and doesn't suit it. Will always be coming back for a haircut with him as he is the absolute best!!! (bonus: he has an amazing spotify playlist so you'll always be jamming in your seat)

    I love, love, loveee my new haircut. Travis was so attentive when it came to what I wanted done with my hair. He made sure to understand what I wanted. Throughout the entire process, he asked me multiple times if there was anything I wanted him to change or if things were fine the way it was. Definitely one of the best!!

    I was referred to Travis by my bf's sister. We both were looking to grow back our natural hair color and wanted to see someone who specializes in Asian hair. I messaged him, sent pictures of my current hair, shared a bit about my hair history and hair goals in order for us to know what to expect for the appointment. He's very detail oriented and I appreciate a stylist that would be honest with me when they think something would not look good on me. The appointment went very smoothly and he explained all the products that he was putting on my hair. We toned my hair darker to match my natural color and evened out my layers for a fuller look. LOVE how my hair turned out and he absolutely nailed all my requests! His studio is so cute and he even let me try multiple snacks from his stash :)

    My second hair appointment with Travis where he added bangs to his original cut from a couple weeks back.

    As a college student living in Irvine, I was a returning client of Travis's for years. Before finding him, I rarely got my hair done because I'd had so many bad experiences with stylists who couldn't execute the Asian-inspired looks I'd bring in from online. Travis changed all of that. Beyond his skill, I genuinely enjoy our appointments. Whether we're deep in conversation or just sitting comfortably in silence, it never feels awkward. His work never disappoints. His cuts and color work completely shifted how I see myself and gave me a real confidence boost. He fixed uneven coloring more than once and always landed on shades that matched my vibe and skin tone perfectly. I left every appointment feeling more like myself. He can come across as blunt or reserved at first, but I came to appreciate that about him--he's straightforward, honest, and clearly takes his craft seriously. I never once felt like he was being rude or difficult. From my very first appointment, I knew I'd found my permanent stylist. I even recommended him to all my friends and sorority sisters!

    Before Travis

    I have been seeing a lot of reviews commenting and calling Travis arrogant on yelp and I wanted to give my feedback on this matter because I don't feel like anyone deserves that. I have been a client of Travis for a long time now and even though he is introverted and soft spoken, his work always delivers as he portrays his passion by being informative and honest with all of his clients. He is a stylist not a specialist, so even if he works on asian hair he is not someone that can help w/ the damage of your hair, he told me the same that my hair was damaged from years of bleaching and that I needed to use more products to keep my hair healthy. I prefer my cosmetic people to be REAL and HONEST w me about the status of my hair, nails, skin, etc. so I can receive feedback and learn how to take better care of myself instead of a stylist just smiling and lying to my face just to get a tip. I also took it that he is very knowledgeable about hair and CARES about the maintenance in the long-term and not just outcome look at the end of the appointment that many stylist prioritize without considering the health of your hair - that is one of the main reasons he is booked and busy. If you can't receive constructive criticism then go to an extroverted stylist, but personally, I would drop a stylist that was overly nice but did not care about my hair in the slightest.

    The whole experience was awesome ! Travis is really sophisticated and dedicated with his work. He takes time washing your hair and lets conditioner sit in unlike other places where they just rinse it out. He's been on my list for a while as Im more into haircuts/styles rather than coloring (he also provides these services). It's really easy to get along/chat w him so the session isnt uncomfortable/awkward :) Again, he takes time for the haircut, listens to what i want and visualizes + working his styles in to give a tailored, unique look from the inspo :) Definitely recommend !!!

    Honestly the best!?! The first time I came he did a consultation, asked me what I liked, what my lifestyle was, my ig to catch my vibe and tailored my haircut to the shape of my head!! He will tell you if he thinks something will not work haha, which is appreciated!! And he also keeps hair health in mind which we love. I also really like how he styles straight hair in the end instead of hiding it behind curls so I can really see the layers he did. So quality. Everyone love his cuts. So good. He never misses!!! He keeps it real and fs has talent when it comes to women's hair, especially Asian women's hair

What's even more unacceptable is the complete lack of accountability. I emailed Jackie directly, included clear photos of the damage, and requested a refund of the $140 I paid--giving her a fair opportunity to respond and make things right. She ignored me entirely. I was never offered my money back, nor did I receive any response or apology. I then escalated the issue to the salon. While they did apologize and offered a complimentary haircut with a top stylist, by that point the trust was gone. I declined, because I should not have to risk further disappointment or spend more time fixing a mistake that never should have happened. Between the poor quality of the haircut and the total lack of professionalism and customer care, this experience was beyond frustrating--it was unacceptable. I would strongly caution anyone considering booking with Jackie.

    Last Saturday, there was a crazy tangled mop of hair on my head that had not been cut since before…read moreCOVID was a thing (over 2 years). One of my best friends was getting married in Anaheim, and I thought to myself, I should probably get a haircut to look presentable for his pictures. The night before the wedding, I walked into The Plaza Salon because it was right next door to the venue, and there, I met Fawzeya. I asked her a million questions because I had no idea what type of cut I needed. She told me she could fit me into her schedule 2 hours before pictures. Nervously, I confirmed. When I arrived 15 minutes late (my fault), Fawzeya was nothing but super friendly and professional. She asked me how I wanted my cut, and I said "you're the pro, just make me look good please". I'm not sure of the exact number of years of experience she told me she has, but I think she told me 42 years, she must've started when she was an infant. I'm so glad that she was able to fit me into her schedule because the wedding photos were beautiful, my hair feels great, and everyone is still telling me how amazing it looks! I live in San Jose so the salon, and Fawzeya are 6 hours away in Anaheim, but next time I'm in southern California, I will surely make an appointment with Fawzeya. Thanks again!

    I'm going to have to change my review on this place. Veronica was my go to girl for 5 years…read more I dealt with her constantly changing times and canceling. For example, If I had an appointment on Friday at noon she would text and change it to 3pm or 5pm. This happened often. One time, I over booked appointments and I texted her if we could change the noon to 2? She texted back and stated, "I can't do it. Let's do it next week?" WOW, I waited a whole week to get my haircut. I dealt with her changing times and the one time I do it, she can't do it. Recently, I had an appointment for 5:30pm on a Tuesday. She texted me Monday night at almost 9pm and canceled stating, "Maybe next week?" It has now been 2 weeks and she is ignoring my texts and never contacted me for the haircut. I will take my $190.00 for a short haircut and color somewhere else to a place with someone that is professional.

    I wanted to share my honest experience because my recent visit was pretty disappointing. The main…read moreissue was that the hair service itself just didn't turn out as requested and fell short of expectations. On top of that, sitting in the chair felt pretty awkward towards the end--there was a clear, unsettling tension between the stylist and her assistant while my hair was being done that made the appointment uncomfortable to sit through. Given she was working on my self and 1 other client at the same time. When I messaged her privately to share how things went and how unsatisfied I was with my hair, her reply felt a bit defensive & dismissive. I waited a week to decide to speak up or make any remarks regarding my service in hopes that I just had to period of adjusting to my hair. Instead of fully understanding my concerns about the service, she gave explanations and shifted focus on justifying the dynamic with her assistant and offered a 25% refund ($38.75) for a $150+ service. While I did not expect a full refund as she still did render services, I at least would have appreciate a refund for half my service. Given the outcome of my hair and the overall experience, that refund felt unfair and sadly the response from her was just not as anticipated. I already make the 40 minute drive to come down here since I've had a great experience before so I couldn't justify coming back down to do any adjustments given the experience. I had to go somewhere local to adjust my face framed curtain bangs as walking around with hair that makes you feel uncomfortable is a horrible feeling. That alone was $40 to adjust on top of what was spent here. It's tough when you decide to speak out about your experience directly with any stylist and get met with defensive or unexpected responses. I sadly won't be returning, as I grew my hair out for 7 months and decided to come here just to be met with a unsatisfied outcome and even worse response to my experience. Overall more disappointed and saddened by this than angry. I wish it could have gone a lot better.

I always HATE it when people try to upsell you on their products and always corner you into buying their products, but you can definitely not worry about that here. Crystal always gives you real tips and tricks and even suggest products that you can buy yourself to help maintain your hair. Not only that - she always always gives me notes on skincare/makeup as well. Ugh, I can't stress enough how amazing Crystal is!! Location: Her studio is located in a salon but it's upstairs apart from everyone else so there's privacy. The salon is located in old town Orange so sometime the parking area can get a little busy, but nonetheless there's always street parking and even parking across the street. If anyone is contemplating on booking an appointment with Crystal, just do it!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
