Travis has been my hair stylist for over a year now and has a track record of delivering the best service. I usually ask for blowouts and the same haircut, but I've also had coloring & perm services done by him. I've never had an appointment that disappointed me. I recently wanted to try something new with my hair and let him choose because that's how much I trust his expertise! To describe a little more about my experience with his work.. Travis is VERY educative and efficient with his consultations. As a professional, he likes to provide insight on different hair types and face shape so that you as a client can achieve hairstyles you want and have an understanding on what works for you based on your features. In the past, I've always shown other hair stylists Pinterest photos and they give me the cut I want, but sometimes it doesn't satisfy me because I never understood what worked for me. Travis is open to all questions and giving his recommendations. They're top notch! Additionally, he even teaches you how he works with your hair step by step as he does it, from how to blow dry your hair to what products he's using. That's something I really appreciate and also stands out to me compared to other hair stylists. In my last appointment, I got a straight perm on my wavy & fluffy hair and IT TURNED OUT AMAZING. My hair is flat & straight after I shower and wake up! Overall, Travis is a very skilled and professional hairstylist! read more

There's no one else I would trust more with my hair than Travis! He is very knowledgeable and possesses a great skillset I haven't seen in other hair stylists. His method is individualized, high quality, and I love how he educated me on which hair cut and style fit best with my face shape. I like people who give it to you straight!! For instance I wanted to try curtain bangs but we both discussed and agreed that it isnt ideal for my face shape. We also discussed hair goals and how I normally would style my hair on a daily basis. Furthermore, he let me know of the best products to use to keep my hair healthy, especially since I'm the type to get balayage ever so often. My hair feels super refreshed. Can't wait to go back to him for all of my hair cuts!! Also, the salon is clean, spacious and he uses quality products, as I've mentioned. There's also ample parking in the plaza! read more

I'm speaking out about my disappointing experience with Travis V at this salon. Despite seeing that they accept new clients and being impressed by their portfolio on Instagram, l was ghosted after booking an appointment and sharing my hair history. I had been looking forward to getting my hair done for a viewing event following my mother's passing, but after days of waiting, all I received was a 'read' notification. It seems that Travis V is very selective with his clients, and I want to warn others about the possibility of being led on and ghosted. & again I hope this helps others set clear expectations when booking with Travis V. read more

Travis H Vu - Hair Stylists Near Me - Orange , California

I was referred to Travis by a friend and he did such an amazing job! He is insanely knowledgeable when it comes to hair and what style suited me best - I appreciated his attention to detail. He did a great job with checking in, asking how I was doing, and if I had any questions for him. At one point I told him, "Do whatever you think is best, I trust you". My only wish was that I knew about him sooner!! We kept the length long because of the wedding in November, but I told him once the wedding is done, I am coming back so he can chop and style however he wants to :) I highly recommend booking with Travis! He is a gem! read more

Travis is incredibly skilled and very knowledgeable. I don't think I've come across another person that specializes in cutting hair like him. He truly is so talented. He is also very easy to talk to and when you ask for advice he isn't afraid to be honest with you which I really appreciate. Whenever I ask for suggestions with other stylists they always tell me "whatever you like". Which is fine, but I do prefer to get input since they are the professionals! He is also very attentive when it comes to his work! 100000% would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a hair cut! I've had my hair cut, toned, and styled by him quite a few times now and he just gets it right everytime! read more

I booked an appointment with Travis 4-5 weeks in advance for a haircut and style before a major event. He canceled my appointment the day of. Travis just has a real bad vibe all together and comes off rude and snarky read more

After my hairdresser of 10+ years retired, I scoured the internet for a new hairstylist. I went to different people but often left underwhelmed and disappointed. After finding Travis on social media and seeing that he uses both Western & Eastern approaches to hair, I decided to give him a try. I so glad I did! Travis doesn't give me what I want in a haircut; he gives me BETTER than what I had anticipated. He cuts and styles my hair in ways that flatter me and helps to retain the length of my hair! I also appreciate that he can tell me what styles and lengths will work on my hair; I learned things I never knew about my hair because of Travis! Travis is precise, detailed, and meticulous. He is professional and takes his craft very seriously. Haircuts are something I did not look forward to, but with Travis, I know I'll be walking out with hair that looks fresh, beautiful, and updated. I cannot wait to go back! read more

How I wishhhh I discovered Travis sooner Found through tiktok and I'm so glad I booked because I've been needing something new and he cut my hair exactly how I imagined and wanted it to be and gave such good advice while showing how he was styling my hair Service was so relaxing and laid back but also kept checking in to make sure everything was ok I'll def be seeing Travis again and hearing his funny jokes hehe I'm so happy with what I got!! read more

I'm really picky with who does my hair because I've had really botched haircuts before from people who don't specialize in Asian hair. I wanted long layers and found Travis via Instagram and all his pictures looked so good so I decided to book. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. I kept trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but ultimately he had the worst attitude and acted really strange, so I was urged to post this review. I never usually leave bad reviews but Travis made my entire haircut super uncomfortable. The second I was in his chair he seemed like he didn't want to be there. Everything felt rushed and he was talking in a really fast, monotone voice. He looked mad and didn't smile a single time during the haircut. He was also speaking super quietly, which made it really hard to hear him with all the salon noise in the background, however his snarky attitude made me not want to ask him to repeat himself. As he was explaining the haircut to me he started telling me that he just needs to explain these things to people because sometimes people just don't know what they're signing up for. He proceeded to trash talk his previous clients and called one of his past clients an "airhead" and telling me how he didn't even want to cut her hair. Obviously, I understand that stylists probably feel that way sometimes, but I find it extremely unprofessional to trash talk previous clients to other clients. It was my very first session with him also, so I don't know what made him feel comfortable enough to tell me all this. There were a lot of other small instances that made me uncomfortable throughout the haircut besides the attitude, such as his aggressive shampooing and him pointing out how I need to change my screen protector (basically admitting to looking at my phone). I just tried to brush these aside. But then, when the cut started, he let me know that he was in a bad mood because he found out he got a bad review. I understand how a bad review made his day bad, hence the attitude. But at the same time, 1) I don't know why you would tell a first-time client you got a bad review, 2) He proceeded to angrily trash talk this reviewer to me. He vented about how he knew who left the review and told me that she left the bad review because she didn't like the haircut. After the bad experience I had, I was curious about the review, so I went to find it on this Yelp page and found that the review was SO MUCH WORSE than just a bad haircut. I was weary to even post this because I know he's probably gonna trash talk me to other clients now too. Unfortunately, it kept getting worse. I was both tired from a long weekend and really uncomfortable, so at this point I didn't even want to talk to him. I'm a pretty outgoing and talkative person, so it says a lot that I didn't want to speak to him at all. As the haircut went on he started to say that my hair was hard to cut and "my face was hard to work with" whatever that means. I had to take my glasses off for the cut, so I couldn't really see my hair at this point. Earlier he asked me if I wanted to keep length, and I told him I wanted to keep as much length as possible. When I finally saw my hair, the layers were choppy and he cut off so much hair. He cut my front pieces shorter than my chin, which is ironic considering he posted on his Instagram story about how you should never cut above the chin. The layers didn't blend together at all and I think he knew he did a bad job. The reason I say this is because his haircuts start at $85, but when he went to give me the price he told me it was $45 and said "don't ask" regarding the low price... He also said something about how I was going to come in a second time, and he would message me about it, but I didn't hear him say why he wanted me to come in again. I ended up messaging him and told him I remember him saying he would message me but I didn't hear why. He ended up just saying "I'm so sorry. My whole day went downhill. Please allow me a few days to recollect myself." I was so confused, I understand you had a bad day, but I just wanted to know why he said he was gonna message me and that I should come back? I allowed him a few days before checking in again, and then I got completely ghosted, which prompted me to write this review. The entire situation was completely unprofessional and confusing. I was so uncomfortable with his attitude and I also don't like my haircut. I won't be coming back and I'm extremely confused how other people had such good experiences with him while I had the worse haircut experience of my life. I understand he had a bad day, but the unprofessionalism was insane. I hope he doesn't always act like this. read more

June 2024 -- Really negative experience with Travis! I've been nervous to speak up, and it took me a long time to process and accept what happened. Still, I wonder if it was totally malicious as I'd prefer to see the best in people but friends and family have assured me that I should share what happened. Unfortunately, I experienced harassment at my hair cut. Starting from the beginning -- Late one night I saw the viral video and booked through the link with minimal research. I didn't think much of it after that. I arrived at the salon, and the stylist greeted me like an old friend. During the consultation, he referenced "the last time we talked" and I thought it was a silly little comedic bit. No, it wasn't comedic at all. He was dead serious. I was confused so he took my phone out of my hands and searched up his Instagram to show me our DMs from two years ago. Then it clicks...this man tried to match with me on a dating app! And when I rejected him, he found my Instagram to offer me a free haircut...Through his tone, it seemed like he was still mad that I *mildly* rejected him two years ago. Violation #1 was the intimidation factor, or lack of professionalism? IDK you choose. Then, I'm sitting for the cut with my hands on the armrests under the cape. The stylist leans over and HIS GENITALS rest on my hand. Not a graze, not a sweep. His junk did a full 4..3..2..1 on my hand. At this point, I was confused. Was that intentional? Was it an accident? Either way, no apology or acknowledgment. I got nervous, and didn't know what to do or think. Violation #2, physical harassment. Even after inappropriately touching me, the stylist let me know he was single and straight several times. He complimented my looks and asked me to take off a layer of clothing for the "after" photo. Violation #3. Finally, I hate the haircut. I asked for a trim with a wide U-shape. He gave me a butterfly cut with a crazy side bang. What the heck. I saw four inches of my hair flying in the wind and he goes "I think you want more layers." He said that at least twice as he kept chopping away. Violation #4. At the time, he was the youngest stylist and only English-speaker. He uses a really gentle voice to say sassy snarky remarks for intimidation. He tried speaking about me, to me, as if he knew me. He literally broke character to express his shock that I was resistant to his verbal/social manipulation. Super weird. Other women that went to Travis have said he's rude or went freestyle on their haircuts, disregarding their requests. He rents out a space from a salon, not employed by the salon. They have reached out to me to clarify this detail. read more

Found Travis through Instagram and loved all the cuts he's been posting. When I finally made an appointment I was so happy for find my new stylist for OC. He is so precise with his cuts and he gives a full consultation on what style best fits your face shape, body type and hair texture. I absolutely loved my cut and it easy to style and low maintenance. Absolutely recommend him to all my friends and anyone looking for knowledgeable stylist that knows exactly what he's doing. read more

Travis is by far the best hair stylist I've had so far! I'm usually pretty skeptical about leaving my hair in the hands of a new stylist every time but I came across his page through a friend and loved his work. I immediately set up an appointment and I did not leave disappointed at all. His consultation is super detailed and he's extremely knowledgeable about what style works best for your face shape and provides his own input on top of what you try to go for. He's super nice and I was comfortable the entire time throughout our conversations. I can't wait to make my next appointment with him! read more

such a wonderful experience, immediately from the start to the end of the appointment, he was attentive and kind. We bounced off of each other in terms of what to go for hairstyle wise and i did not feel an ounce of worry while sitting in his chair. He really consults you and gives tips on how to style the hair afterwards. As seen in the photos, you can just tell the way the haircut frames my face and the confidence it lets me exude. can't say enough good stuff about the valuable experience ! highly recommend! read more

I loved my haircut from Travis!! I was very indecisive on what type of cut I wanted, but he consulted me on what would look best on me based on my head shape and daily lifestyle.

Travis also has a funny personality which made me feel less nervous cutting my hair (after a little over a year).

Randomly stomped on one of Travis's client Tiktok about a getting a haircut in Irvine which is where I live. So I did some digging and look through his works on IG, decided to try getting a "Bang Trim" service for a start. It was the most delicates & detailed Bang Trim I have ever gotten in my life like seriously. Most hairstylist would spend like 30 seconds or less, did a lil chop there and there when I asked for a curtain bang. But Travis takes his time consulting and fixing my curtain bangs into a perfection within 20-30 mins ish which I love how detailed he is! After that first appointment, I rebooked him for a haircut because he noticed that my hair is also a little choppy and I've been wanting to fixed it too. Went to the Haircut appointment yesterday and I love it so much now that it's perfectly layered Service is always great as well, if you're looking for someone who extremely educated and knows exactly what he's doing ( and will listened to you terrible dating life ) I feel super comfortable sitting his chair and always left feeling prettier and happier every time read more

I have been getting my hair cut and dyed by Travis by I'm not even sure how many years now. Maybe 3-4? It just goes to show how much faith I put into this growing hairstylist. I am a very relaxed person when it comes to my hair, and most of the time, I let Travis use his best judgement when he cuts it. He has an extensive knowledge on hair and all its properties and cuts and whatnot, I have even had cuts where I let him do whatever he thinks best. When I do need a specific cut or dye from him, he informs me on what the results would look like and lives up to his word. Each consultation is thorough and I've enjoyed driving up an hour plus just to get my hair done and reconnect with him. Again, I would recommend this hairstylist for his knowledge and consideration for his clients. Here's pics from all the years I've got my hair done from him read more

I came across Travis's Instagram page a while back and followed his work for a while before finally booking with him, but I honestly wish I had come to him way sooner! Booking an appointment online was simple, and his location is super clean, modern, and spacious. He works quickly, efficiently, and with purpose. Travis is truly a master at his craft! He's very honest about what he thinks you need/don't need, what will look good on you, what's realistic, and so on, which I personally really appreciate in a hairstylist! Since I started coming to Travis, I've gotten 2 keratin treatments, a straight perm, multiple Milbon repair treatments, haircuts, bangs, trims, and everything in between (except color). He has completely transformed and nourished my hair in the last year or so that I've known him, so if you are looking for quality service/expertise and a hairstylist who actually cares about you and your hair, do not hesitate to book with Travis! read more

It's been a month that I've lived in my hair cut from Travis, and I can say without a doubt that it is the best cut I've ever had. Usually by this time with other hair stylists I would notice jaggedness and uneven ends, but not with Travis. The attention to detail he made with every snip has become more apparent with time and my hair has continued to grow evenly and behaves exactly as he said it would. Travis is truly a master at his craft. read more

Been to Travis twice now for haircuts and blue-black dye/toner to blend out my bleached ends I'm growing out and I'm very satisfied so far! He's great at cutting which is hard to find in oc or in general, and does his best to consider your face shape and goals when deciding how to cut. I usually ask for layers throughout my lengths, face framing pieces, and some lightening up of my hair for volume at the top. He has nailed it each time. Also have a great time talking to him about products and recs! Price point is fair for the satisfaction he provides and because the cuts and color grow out nicely. Won't speak on bleaching since I haven't done bleach with him but I would definitely check him out if you're looking for a cut specialist and darker hair coloring! He also has some unique offerings like keratin treatment and a scalp detox I haven't tried read more

Went to Travis for the first time due to needing a new hair stylist in OC and I was not disappointed. He took the best care of my hair start to finish, and is extremely knowledgeable. I appreciated his transparency when it came to realistic outcomes for my type of hair, while accomplishing the overall look I was going for. Also, he was a joy to talk to throughout the process which made the appointment even more fun. My hair felt so healthy, and the results were even better than I hoped for. Can't wait to return and continue this hair journey. Highly recommend his services if you are interested in having the most gorgeous cuts and styling!!! read more

Travis is the BEST. I first found him back in Dec 23 because I was looking for someone who knew how to cut asian hair properly. He is incredibly detailed and truly wants the best for your hair. You'll come in and let him know what you're looking to do then he'll give his thoughts on what will work for you. He will give you the best advice for hair care and is honest about maintenance, how to take care of your hair, etc. He's the first person to ever ask me what products I use (shampoo, conditioner, hair styling products) and give me insight. I didnt know one of my shampoos was actually heavy and weighed my hair down until he told me. When I was mentioning a new hairstyle I wanted to try - he was honest about what is needed to have it look the way he styles it, the complexity of it, and gave insight as to how it'd look due to my hair being thin as is. I've been going to him ever since I found him and can never go anywhere else. He's also super easygoing to talk to and get along with - you'll feel comfortable during your appointment! He executes korean hairstyles so well if you're looking to do the hush cut! read more

I found Travis on Instagram after weeks of searching for someone who could fix my cut hair (after a bad experience with someone I had been going to for a while). I was ecstatic that he was local and I booked an appointment for his earliest available which was easy to do on the booking app. I arrived and shared my ideal hair style, my maintenance upkeep and my daily hair routine. He convinced me that my ideal hairstyle wouldn't be recommended but that he understood the assignment. He gets to understand your personality, what you do for work, and he makes the haircut fit for you, your face shape, and your lifestyle. I came in wanting a hush cut, and was transformed into something Travis customized for me based on my vibes. Totally recommend - especially if you're open to trusting someone to really know their craft, their art and talent and how to harness it to bring out the amazing in you. read more
