    I love my haircut! Thanks so much, Vivian!

    I just moved to Socal and had been looking for a new hair stylist but didn't find anyone until I saw Vivian's customers reviews - thanks so much! Then I made an appointment with Vivian - was very gentle, caring and professional. I really liked the way she cut my hair and beautifully styled it in the way that I had been looking for. I would definitely recommend her to everyone. I will come back to see her and bring my daughter to her as well. Thank you so much, Vivian!

    Vivian saved my hair!!!! I recently got a haircut at another salon, and I left very unhappy. I found Vivian and she told me would fix it exactly how I wanted... she did exactly that! Thank you so much Vivian!!!

    i've been coming to vivian for years! the only person i trust with my hair. she does amazing work!!

    My daughter's hair.

    Vivian was amazing! I messaged her yesterday evening and she was able to get me in the very next morning. I love my hair! I got a cut with long layers. She also cut my daughter's hair and she absolutely loved it.

    Vivian cut my hair with so much attention to detail. It was very easy to make an appointment and she is so fun to talk to. She really cares about her clients and her work. Highly recommend!

    Vivian is the best! Vivian has been cutting my hair for a while now and she always does a great job. She is easy to talk to and listens to my concerns. Not only is the service fast and affordable, but she also gave me the exact haircut I wanted. I really appreciate how easy it is to schedule an appointment with Vivian. Everyone in my family gets their hair cut with Vivian.

    My cut + blow dry CUTENESS!!!

    Vivian is wonderful! She had a pendant that said "shear genius" and I think that pretty much sums it up! She executed exactly what I showed her from my inspo pictures and blew my hair out to perfection, She is also so kind and accommodating, she even worked around my schedule and fit me in right before my vacation!

    I've been coming to Vivian for more than a year now for coloring and haircut, and every time she delivers and goes above and beyond (I actually moved away and still come back to her and made sure to come to her before my wedding day : ). She's friendly and doesn't push for services and would give genuine advice. Also, scheduling is super easy by text (the store she's at, avalon salon has an online scheduling system but make sure to just text her!) Thanks for giving life to my hair :D

    She was incredibly accommodating with my scheduling request, fitting me in exactly when I needed. And she listened to my preferences and kept my hair long, just as I asked!

    I didn't get before and after pics this time but came in for touch-ups to my highlights and a haircut/ style today. Vivian was amazing as usual! I am always so satisfied with her amazing customer service and work. I love Vivian so much that I've followed her after she changed salons and am highly considering flying back to California after my move to another state just so she can do my hair. She is the best!!!

    Been with Vivian since she was at Avalon and now she's at Soca :] she does an amazing job and I always leave with my hair looking healthier than when I walked in ^_^ can't wait for my next appointment.

    Haircut. Long layers with face framing pieces.

    I've been seeing Vivian for about 2 years for my haircuts. I'm very particular about my hair and like to keep it simple. Yet it can be challenging to find a hair stylist that does it right, and for a fair price. Vivian always does a great job! She's fast, very meticulous and offers a very competitive rate.

    I've been a loyal customer of vivian for a few years now & I'm never disappointed by her work! I trust her so much w/ my hair && she is so good at what she does! Thank you for always taking care of my hair vivian!

    Jessica is a miracle worker!! I went in with the worst box…read morecolour disaster you could imagine - my tips were darker than the roots and it was a whole thing. Jessica did a colour correction and brought my hair back to normality. But honestly just saying she did a colour correction doesn't even begin to explain the lengths she went to fixing my hair. She worked her artistry and there was just so many steps involved. And she works quickly and efficiently as well. But the best part is that she's just so nice! This was my first appointment with her and I just know that she'll be my hair stylist for the future. She absolutely earned my respect and confidence. Oh, and her prices are extremely good!

    Okay, this review is LONG overdue. I found Jessica on Yelp after a very long search for a hair…read morestylist. I stopped seeing my last person in 2018 and after that only had a professional haircut once in 2021 by someone else before finding Jess in 2023 (I believe it was 2023). I went to Jess with the goal of growing my hair out for my wedding and WOW I wish I'd found her sooner because not only did she help me achieve growing out my hair, she also gave me beautiful highlights (which I was afraid to get at first) and NEVER got cut happy with me (meaning she never cut too much). I moved out of state before my wedding but was dedicated to Jess and the process we started, so when I had a couple of opportunities to go back to California, I made SURE to have an appointment booked with her. This is me telling you all that she is WORTH traveling for! Not only is she an amazing hair stylist, she's kind and a lot of fun to be around. I'm pretty introverted, but Jess made me feel very comfortable and got me socializing. I'm talking in the past tense, but I'll probably fly out to see her again at some point... Her quality of work is WORTH IT.

I appreciate that she checks in with me to see if I'm happy with the progress at each stage of the cut. I will make the drive from SD just to see her. I'm not sure how my haircuts just get better with each visit (literally not exaggerating look at the photos). Booking an appointment is a breeze since she's so responsive. I want to gate keep her so bad but her skills and attention to detail needs to be shared. I always have a calm and peaceful experience at her studio. She has such a sweet and easygoing personality. I'll be back, Hyejin!!

I had just moved to the area again and wanted to find a hairstylist during my time here. I read a review that said she'll let you know her honest opinion and I'm so glad because for me personally, I would hate it if I came in wanting something and the hairstylist thinks it's ugly (but is quiet about it) and I walk out feeling regretful that I wanted to try xyz lol. My first haircut came out nicely after we chatted about what I wanted and what she thinks would look best, and she recommended me a brown I should try in the future. Today is that future time. It's my second time here! I came in knowing vaguely what I wanted (Some sort of lighter brown with bangs since I had black hair with no bangs lol). We chatted and then I simply trusted the process. She ended up giving me curtain bangs that can also be a little wispy also, and cut my hair to a length that looked soooo good. There was so much attention to detail when she was cutting too. It was great. For the color, she said that a lighter color might not actually look the best on me and a subtle brown might be better! I was pretty down for whatever she thought looked good so I trusted the process again. Let me tell you... this subtle brown looked so good with the cut. Also, my hair? Soft as HECK. It was kinda gritty before so I was shook when I touched my hair after the appt. She chatted with me lots and also gave me space too. It was a great balance and also she answered my questions!! I always have so many questions and she answered them all for me!! Including... how to style my hair because I suck at those things. I'll take any advice and tips I can get. Price is reasonable for OC too! TLDR; I walked in with messy hair that made me look dead inside and walked out with softer dyed hair AND styling knowledge. If that isn't a win, I don't know what is.

I ended up leaving half way through the blow out because she kept hitting my head with the blow dryer. When I got home my hair looked darker then when I went in to have it done. Today my friend pointed out a huge bleed mark in the back of my head. When I reached out to Quinn for a refund she told me to come back in and she would fix it. Unfortunately, a don't trust her to touch my hair again and requested a refund to which I was denied. I'm unsure as to why this Salon has so many good reviews. From my experience, I wouldn't recommend anyone to come here..
