I love this salon! I'm never let down by the owners Ty and Stephanie's business ethic and the friendly atmosphere they provide. I'm not sure what this Barbara T is talking about...I have been going to Audrey Galindo for years and she is truly amazing! I get so many compliments on my hair! It always looks amazing and feels so healthy. She takes great care of my hair! And the trump supporter comment? Haha, I've never once heard her talk politics. Someone just seems like a miserable person that looks to complain. When you notice all the reviews they do are complaints, that says a lot! I strongly recommend this salon and especially Audrey! read more

Grateful to have been given a recommendation to go there. Dominique was so pleasant and did exactly what I was looking for. I'll be going back next time. Thanks Dominique. read more

TY Alexander Salon - Me doing my hair the next day - Hair Salons Near Me - Newport Beach, California

See all

Last year, I was referred to this salon by a friend in the sun tan business. I had numerous disappointing experiences with salons that would not, despite consults test strips and specifics, give me a warm-tone, gold/yellow sunny, beach blonde weave (classic Christie Brinkley and Kate Hudson stuff) ... high, medium low, highlights and shine. No toner or brighteners - just "old school" weave and sealant (a la Redken shades or Sebastian cellophanes)! I don't want cool tones (NO beige, ash, platinum taupe). This should be easy. The salon is clean, comfortable (although I prefer more natural light and more windows). It's got a nice vibe and in the high profile Newport fashion Island center (parking can be a bit difficult next to the Big Newport theatre). I did not try their products and was already taking Nutrafol. I have fine hair and a lot of it. Like most people my hair can break, if it is over-processed, so I need an expert to do it right the first time. I was told Chris was "the man" - he was reliable had a station at Ty Alexander for almost ten years. I am on time, tip well and pleasant to talk with (not a problem client). I liked Chris and his approach. I told him I can't use scented products-that shouldn't be a problem. He did my hair at the salon twice (Nearly a $700 investment) and although he helped correct previous work (my hair WAS healthier), he never got the warm blonde tone I needed, despite THREE attempts. He moved to Newport Salon & Suites in February and I followed him there for the third effort. We reconfirmed in writing what I wanted. When I came out one side was a FULL inch longer, he missed a whole spot at the top at part, in front and crown (long dark brown streak). While the underlying color provided more warm contrast, but he still did my highlights a cool beige (AGAIN, I said NO COOL TONES!). It was totally NOT RIGHT. Most of the hair was blah taupe, and mousy. He said it was permanent color, and he could not change it, so he refunded my money. I emailed and called Ty Alexander to book a color correction (they specialize in this AND blondes!). While Schwarzkopf works best for me (they don't use that product) and I could not find a competent Schwarzkopf operator. So, when I called Ty Alexander for a correction Stephanie (she identified herself as Ty's partner) refused to book an appointment. They MUST have quality products that lift to brown hair to warm blonde (and I know gray needs deposit color and not bleach!)! I never heard from Ty directly, even though I sent a follow-up email. This is NOT rocket-science. Sad, they turned me away. read more

Salon is clean and both locations were busy. But I do not recommend Tima. She did not know how to handle thick hair and was not friendly. I went to another salon after to have the hair cut fixed and there were sections of my hair that were cut close to the root because she was trying to take weight out of my hair. Also tried to charge me more at the end. I left crying. Would not recommend and will not be back. read more

I love coming to that salon. It is chaotic. It is fun. Everybody's having a great time., it has a party atmosphere that makes it so much fun to be at, and they also give you a great haircut Ty is amazing. He can do any hair cut you want and you leave the salon looking like $1 million. read more

Neil Leithem never fails to make my hair look fantastic and makes me feel beautiful! He is an artist! Most importantly , my haircuts last a long time read more

Nickole is the best! I have been going to her for years and she never disappoints! My hair always turns out perfect!

Have been going to Chris for many years for platinum pixies. He is always on time and always does a great job. He has no problem being reminded of our process so that we have 100% success each time. He always makes sure that the color and cut is exactly what I ask for. I always book my appointments when things are relatively quiet at the salon as I read while the bleach processes. It is clean and the music playing is always what I like. Receptionists always greet me when I arrive. The only complaint I have is that the salon invest in better chairs under the dryers. What they have now are just straight back chairs with sheepskin draped over them. The MOST uncomfortable chairs when I am under the dryer for 45 minutes or more! read more

I told the receptionist who called me back after making an online appointment that I needed the longest block of time available to get highlights and lowlights. Drove 45 minutes to the salon to be told the receptionist made a mistake and I only had time for a quick root touch-up that I could have done easily at home. Felt like I was part of an assembly line. read more

This is hands down the worst haircut I've ever gotten lol and I have shamefully gone to a barber before. Absolutely no blending or thinning on layers, my husband just said I look like my baby cousin cut it. The bangs are great, but for $175 for just a hair trim on an already shorter style, I expect literal perfection, because wtf is this. I booked the owner, Ty, thinking there is no way it could get messed up if it's the owner. Silly me :) read more

Ty Alexander is a putrid hole where a man ought to be. I recently lost 25 pounds so I treated myself to an appointment at a nice salon with the owner of the salon, Ty. When he was notified that I was there, he looked over in my direction and his face transformed into an angry, indignant expression. He walked over to me and asked me what I wanted done to my hair. I showed him a picture of a hairstyle I really liked. I wasn't sure what it was called but I called it a 'shaggy mullet'. He said in a very clipped tone, 'a shggy mullet?? Nope, I'm not doing that' and instructed another stylist to do it. His attitude was arrogant and cruel. I said to him that I was keenly aware that I am middle aged, unattractive, and overweight and that it was a fear of mine to walk into a salon and be rejected. His response to me was, 'you're not overweight.' While I was getting my haircut by someone else, he sat in the chair across from me man-spreading, chatting with his staff. Welcome to 50. Holly W. read more

My daughter had a bad haircut and mistakes happen, but the customer service is truly disappointing. After sharing my daughter has been crying since her hair cut yesterday and I was hoping to speak to Chris, the woman who answered the phone started arguing that the picture I provided was just for Inspo... he over cut the bangs and then we were blamed. No offer to try to correct them or help my fourteen year old who will have a bad haircut first day of high school. Very sad to get such bad attitudes. No customer service whatsoever. I feel ripped off. I WILL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL UNLESS YOU WANT A BAD BANG JOB AND BAD CUSTOMER CARE read more

I absolutely love getting my haircuts from Ty ! Iv been going to him since I was 17 (I am now 36) I always feel so welcomed, he is always so kind, and most importantly listens/ understands to what I am wanting ! I always know leaving I am going to look fabulous and more confident! He truly has a gift and can transform anyone's hair into a masterpiece- making you feel more confident. Not to mention the salon is absolutely stunning, clean, and the staff is very professional. I always look forward to my appointments ! read more

I have been familiar with this salon for a very long time. Every stylist in there is so incredibly talented, and the staff is so friendly. Ty and Stephanie have done a great job fostering a welcoming atmosphere. It's very refreshing to find in a Newport Beach salon. From the reviews below it seems some OC Karen's don't understand that not every stylist specializes in all styles and may refer to a more able stylist when asked to complete a cut/color they aren't familiar or comfortable with rather than butcher someone's hair. I have never once experienced any discrimination over my weight (I am a plus size woman) and look forward to returning! read more

Dominique is your extension girl!! She does the best job. Got mine in over 6 weeks ago, and not ONE has slipped or fallen out. I work out every day too and I don't take the best care of them so that just shows she knows exactly what she's doing :)! read more

Fantastic Salon. Ty is truly a master. my daughters and husband all go to the Salon and look forward to the pampering they all get. Their expertise in all types of hair is second to none. Fantastic extensions, beautiful color, and design cuts for each individual client makes them a cut above. Thank You Ty Alexander for your Salon we love it and you. read more

Ty Alexander is a perfectionist, and it shows in his work. His talent for cutting and styling hair, accompanied by his keen attention to detail, is why he is one of the most sought-after stylists in Newport Beach. From the first time I sat down in Ty's chair over a decade ago, I knew I was in good hands. If you're looking for a skilled and experienced hairstylist who truly cares about their clients, I highly recommend Ty Alexander. read more

Absolutely LOVE Ty Alexander Salon! I have been a religious customer, every three weeks for over 10 years. Audrey has been doing my amazing color and Ty my hair cuts for that entire time. Incredible people, incredible service and amazing results. You shouldn't go to any other salon in Orange County! read more

I had my hair deliberately ruined by colorist Audrey Gelindo. I informed her during the color process she was doing it wrong and she refused to listen (SHOCK) Better be a Trump supporter if you do go to her. Ty Alexander refused to refund my money and did not offer to try to fix my hair. They do not stand behind their salon and operators, they have a no refund policy they say. $160.00 and we're sorry please come back. AX told me to file better business bureau, check Ty Alexander licenses and Audrey Gelindo's beauticians license. They are shocked at TY Alexanders response that has nothing to do with the horrible dye job. They are escalating of course. read more

I almost want to gatekeep Dom because she is so amazing but if you're looking for someone for highlights lowlights Brazilian blowout you name it Dom is your girl. I've recently been growing out my natural brown hair and have been getting so many compliments of how nicely Dom blended it from my last appointment. 12/10 recommend. read more

This is an amazing salon! Great vibes everyone is very professional always on time,they are courteous,respectful, and accommodating. They're very thoughtful of my time. I got a full weave, shampoo & conditioner, toner, and a mens haircut it came out awesome. I thought it would take at least three hours but they had me done in one hour! I really appreciate their work ethic and precision. I highly recommend them to all my friends and associates. Thank you Ty Alexander Salon for keeping mylooking good!!! read more

This is long over due but I finally decided to write a review. To be clear I liked my colorist and hair stylist very much so this is not a negative critique to them. This negative review is for the owner Ty. He is arrogant, snob as hell and has zero manners unless you are a celebrity or a super model. I was over charged on a blow dry he did for me, I usually tried to avoid him because I don't like his style but when my stylist couldn't see me I had to book him. Anyhow, I was overcharged big time by the girl at the front desk. I didn't realize it until next day when I noticed she didn't send me an email with his receipt. I called and I asked for my receipt. When I saw my email I realized the charges were 3 times more of what a blow dry costs. I called and I mentioned it to the person who answered the phone. She admitted that was an error, I was ok, no big deal, just send me a refund to my cc. She said she couldn't do it, that was not their policy. I was like, what? yes you can. Again she said she couldn't but I should not have to worry because it would go to my account and now I have credit. I didn't want to drag the discussion so I let it go. The following month I went to style my hair with a new stylist. Its time to pay and I said I have credit. Next thing I know she said I couldn't use my credit because I didn't use Ty. I couldn't believe it. I told her to get Ty. He was obviously annoyed by this. He didn't look at me at all, he asked the front desk girl rudely, what she wants?? she explained and again without looking at me he tells the girl to tell me (all this time I am right there) that I either buy his products or I use him next time. I said no, I won't do that, you either give me my money back or deduct todays' service from my credit and you deal with your stylist in private. He raised his voice so everyone could hear, and said fine! and left. I texted my colorist to let her know that I would never step in that salon ever again in my life. Ty has a problem, he thinks he is irreplaceable because he has a couple of local celebrities as clients, but he is in retail business, everyone is irreplaceable in the retail business. It only takes a bad move and you are done forever. I found a great hair salon thanks to him, Jennifer beauty spot on 17th street, Jennifer is the owner and she is amazing with color and she is humble!!! she is sweet, knowledgeable, funny and caring. The salon is amazing. My hairstylist is great too and my daughter also loves to go there. No snobby rude business there. Thank you Ty for being a jerk so I was able to meet Jennifer. I would not have done it without you. read more

Loved my experience with her and highly recommended. Such a sweetheart! I can not emphasize enough how great she is. Willing to work with you to make sure you leave with a smile on your face. You won't regret it and book your appointment. read more

The salon itself is nice, Ty Alexander himself was referred to me as my stylist of 4 years had left the Los Angeles Area. Already reluctant to find a new stylist, I took a chance and made an appointment with Ty himself. Check in, everything is fine and dandy, was seated within 10 min by Ty. I'm not sure if he was having an off day, checked out, or whatever but this experience will lead me to never return. One star is for the good location, and the other is for easy parking. Aside from that, LOW quality haircut from Ty HIMSELF, and his arrogance is through the roof. 30 minutes of sitting through his, "I'm better than you and you're lucky I had time for you" attitude? I'll pass thanks, in fact I'll pass indefinitely and won't be back. This business is about adaptability and working with your client. FIND a way to connect, instead he hardly made talk and was insulting other stylists working in the salon. It's a salon, where people express style and that only leads me to believe that he's a poor judge of character. Onto the actual haircut. I could have done a better job myself, texturing of the sides was so bad that I had ANOTHER salon fix his mistakes. At the end, he asked me which products I used in my hair, thinking he would show me how to style my hair with the product I was using at the time. Nope, said, here do it yourself. AGAIN, hopeful that I would receive pointers on how a "professional" would style using the product I use at home. Less than satisfied. And finally, the lack of response to negative reviews leads me to believe that they don't care about the clientele, the salons image and more importantly about the services they provide. read more

I was traumatized by my old stylist leaving me with damaged, over processed hair. I read the reviews and decided to go with Brent and I'm so happy that I did. He did an outstanding job with cut and color! Thank you Brent! read more

I've gotten several good haircuts by Ty now and have made him my go-to in Newport Beach

I've been coming to this salon a little over a year now and love it. Ty does an amazing job cutting my hair, his wife Stephanie does the best blow outs and Audrey does a fantastic job on my color. I hate when I have to sit for a really long time and at this salon, I'm out of there within 2 hours or less and I have a lot of hair. It's the best team! read more

Hannah Whitney is by far the most skilled, meticulous and talented colorist at this salon. My Mom and I have been going to her for years for our blonde hair and we are constantly stopped and asked who does it. Not only is she talented with color but she is the fastest blow dryer stylists in OC! She moves carefully at lightening speed and gets you in and out fast. No one like wasting away in the salon chair and she doesn't let that happen. She also is dependable and always on time. She is beautiful, is always in a pleasant mood and has one hell of a smile. The salon is great but Hannah makes it! @hannahdoeshair_ is her Instagram account if you would like to personally book with her! read more

Read the reviews and decided to try it out. Went and saw Jeremy for our family cuts. I'm picky and go to a high end salon at home. Jeremy excels at his craft. He is talented with scissors, cuts and difficult hair situations. One of my daughters recently started growing hair. He was able to take her from looking like a boy, to a beautiful girl. Another one of my children has very curly hair. He was able to cut and style her curls to look amazing. All together he did 6 cuts for our family. Boys, men, women and children. He is amazingly talented artist and those who live in this area are lucky to be able to book him as their regular stylist. If you are looking for a salon and stylist -this is where I will come again! read more

I want to share my awful experience with Nickole in this beauty salon. I had an appointment with Nickole for highlight, I showed the color which I was interested in, however At the end the result was completely different and I paid 300$ for a partial highlight! She told me dunn worry wash it and you always have time to text me about it. So I texted her and asked her to fix it, but she said Im fully booked, she gave me an appointment in 10 days, and when I asked her to move it sooner, she said I think I can not be your stylist anymore, and I can refund you 100$ . I was shocked with her attitude, and tried to talk to the manager and after that the owner. However after multiple times of calling back and forth nobody took the responsibility. The owner and the manager told me she is an independent stylist here and we can not do anything.So I texted Nickole to send me the 100$ refund,but she said why you called my salon and complain! I did my job and your hair looks good to me, I do not refund you anymore! My problem was not about my color! Was about Nickole's attitude, and the fact that the management of the salon weren't able to solve my problem. I just want to let you guys know that if something goes wrong with their service, no one feels responsible for it. Don't get fooled by the popularity of the salon or her instagram. read more
