Thank you so much Kathy

Yessica Mendoza Kathy is amazing , she is a hair doctor! Digital perm artist..

Stephanie F I had an amazing experience at K Vision! Kaison and Tracy were fantastic—they took the time to customize the perfect hair color for me, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The color is absolutely stunning and exactly what I wanted. They also added volume at the crown, giving me that visual lift, and my haircut looks incredible. I love how much care they put into making sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend K Vision for anyone looking for expert hair coloring and styling!

Ning Xu Kaison is awesome! He is a professional hair stylist with a remarkable artistic sense. I had my hair cut done on him a few months ago and had it permed yesterday, I was extremely pleased with the style, look and wonderful experience. Kaison is very friendly, patient and detail-oriented, and definitely my ideal hairdresser. Highly recommend Kaison and his studio if anyone looking for professional hairdressing services!

Pei Liu Kaison’s studio is super clean and organized, and you can tell right away he’s a total pro. I’ve always struggled with frizzy, curly hair, and I’ve wanted smooth, manageable hair for ages. Kaison made it happen! He’s really easy to talk to and always gets exactly what I want. Plus, he’s always ready to go when I get there, so we start right on time. I’m beyond happy with my hair. Highly recommend come to his studio and you will get surprises!

Siyi K. Kaison did an awesome job with my haircut. He gave very detailed consultation and took great care of hair. As he’s doing the haircut he would also tell me ways to improve my hair quality. He also gave me tips on how to style my hair. It was a great experience and I would for sure go back again.

Selia Snderson I’ve never felt more confident leaving the salon than I do after a session with Kaison hair studio . Kaison Not only is a true artist, but his ability to listen and understand exactly what I want—while adding his own expert touch—makes every visit a personalized experience. He doesnt just cut hair; he creates a style that feels uniquely mine. His professionalism and communication are top-notch, making sure I’m comfortable and happy with every step. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone who truly ‘gets’ your style and elevates it!"

Laura Haack Stephanie is amazing. You SHOULD book with her.

Laurie Prentice Shes amazing!

Salma Kabir Leila is an amazing hairstylist! Always available and does a great job for all ages. Ive been her customer since 2009 and still see her for my own haircuts, kids, and hubby! Thank You Leila! :)

Edwin Huh Leilas a great hairsylist. Ive been going to her for over 5 years now because I trust her to get good, consistent results with my hair (straight & fine Asian hair, usually buzzed #1 on the sides while keeping it long up top). I cant say that about a lot of other places Ive been, so Ive highly recommended Leila to friends and family. Finally getting around to writing a review since she just moved to this new location, and I noticed she doesnt have any reviews here yet. Some other notes: 1. Very accommodating about booking same-day appointments if she has any spots available. Easy to book appointments by texting the phone number listed here. 2. Affordable haircuts for guys. Id go ahead call and ask about pricing if you have any special requirements/treatments.

Kristen Parrinello Its hard to find a stylist who gets my hair type: lots of fine, curly/wavy hair. One day I sat in Reynas chair and said that Im ready for a chop. Look at my hair! It is amazing and easy to take care of which is a struggle for me. I have received multiple compliments on this cut and Im thinking this might be a long term cut for me. Thank you, Reyna!!

Kristin Montejano I love booking an appointment for my next new hair adventure. I love showing Reyna my inspiration pictures and coming up with a game plan for my vision. This summer has been fun hairstyles. Im excited for some holiday hair styles for the iconic family holiday photos. ✨️ Book your appointment today!

Chris Delrosario Great vibes right from the start! Reyna is amazing, sweet, and easy to work with. Anything you want she can get it done and even offers great recommendations. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to get hair done. Each visit I had such an amazing experience with all my haircuts. Thank you Reyna!

T Vasquez Love love love Reyna! My daughter and I have been going to her for years. From going blonde, to extensions, and bold colors and the newest cut styles for my daughter. We absolutely love her style, customer service, and expertise! Does your go to gal to trust with your hair.

Allen Moon I got a haircut and perm from Min. He is a Korean speaking hair stylist and barber. He does hair for both women and men. He is a nice gentleman who is quick yet professional. He knows what he is doing and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

David Lee I’m a regular at this place, and he never fails to satisfy me. The haircuts are always fast, yet always meets what I want in terms of styling. Would definitely recommend to others trying to find a new spot!

Patrick Lam I did a quick walk-in right on New Years Eve and Min took me in so welcomingly. Im a guy and he did a great job quickly. I asked for a 2 block cut haircut with a lower taper and thats what I got. Make sure you show a picture too. He leans more on the korean styles but Im sure he can cut whatever you ask him too. Price is affordable and fair given his experience! Super nice and Im definitely going to go again.

Dewey Hur The Vintage Hair is hands down the best hair salon in the area. I trust them completely when it comes to designing my hair. This time, the stylist recommended a perm, and it was amazing. It turned out even better than I expected—absolutely stunning! They have an incredible knack for matching the perfect style to suit me every time. The skill here is unmatched—quick yet precise, always delivering results that will leave you in awe. Even though this salon is always bustling and it can be tough to secure an appointment, the stylist works so efficiently that it’s never a problem. I always trust their suggestions, and they never fail to make me feel great about my hair. Whats even better is their versatility: one of my friends came in, and after a quick adjustment to her bangs, she was so pleased, she’s now even more loyal to this place than I am! If you get the chance, definitely try The Vintage Hair. Just be sure to call ahead for a reservation—you won’t regret it!

Summer Magik I recently moved to the area and was looking for a great hairstylist who could do a Japanese hair straightening perm—that’s how I found Alan on Yelp. From start to finish, he was kind, patient, and truly cared about the health of my hair. My hair is long and thick, so the process took about four hours, but Alan made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Not only did he expertly straighten my hair, but he also cut off all the dead ends, added texture, and thinned it out perfectly. Now, I can shower, let my hair air dry, and it still looks amazing—so sleek and effortless! This perm is perfect for all the boss babes who want low-maintenance, gorgeous hair. I’m absolutely in love with my hair—it’s so healthy, shiny, and smooth now. Alan worked his magic, and I couldn’t recommend him more! If you’re looking for a professional stylist who genuinely cares about your hair, Alan is the one to go to.

Seymour Titt BEST HAIRDRESSER IN THE UNIVERSE ! My wife and I found Alan when we moved to Irvine a couple of years ago. Alan is still in Irvine..we are not. We make the drive from San Clemente these days..exceptionally talented hairdressers like Alan are very hard to find. And he doesnt operate out of a fancy salon with a big sign outside...just a simple cubicle with everything he needs. The prices are reasonable for the top quality work. WE LOVE ALAN !

Adrian Pan ツ It was my first time getting a haircut in Irvine and Alan did an excellent job with my 2-block haircut! He paid close attention to detail and made sure everything was clean and sharp since I had natural curly hair. On top of that, he was incredibly friendly and accommodating. I was especially surprised and impressed that he could speak Cantonese and Toisanese, which made the experience even better since it is very hard to find people that speak those 2 languages here. It’s not easy to find someone so skilled and welcoming—definitely recommending him to others!

KIMBERLY NERI Alan was just wonderful! He’s just a good, humble and hardworking, nice guy. It was my first time going to him for a haircut (I have a super short, chin length bob) and he knocked it out of the park for such a great price. You know if someone can do short hair, they can do it all. Loved this guy’s energy. I’ll for sure be back! Thanks, Alan!!

xuan wang Absolutely perfect. Alan is super nice and chill, and the studio is very comfortable, relaxing and clean.The result is perfect, would definitely recommend.

Jean Yim Parrisa is so wonderful! My daughter wanted the “jellyfish” hair cut and Parrisa delivered! We can’t wait for our next appointment!

S RA Parrisa is an absolute artist and master at her craft! She does beautiful color and her extension blending is so on point. She’s also a total delight, funny, and very understanding. So blessed to have her style my hair!

Jessica Tran Ly Loved my experience at the Edit Hair Lounge with Parissa. I had a really simple request this time around - I just wanted to cut off a few inches and wanted to keep things simple and easy to maintain. Before she got to work, she asked a lot of questions before she started making her suggestions which I fully appreciated. She didn’t try to upsell or push me toward anything and really listened to what I had in mind. Even at the end when she was styling my hair she didn’t try to push any products or a new unrealistic hair routine for me. Additionally I enjoyed the mama to mama conversations!

Myrissa G. Parissa is probably one of the best hairdressers I have come across! She listened to my concerns and was even able to preserve more length to my hair than I thought coming into the appointment. She cut my hair exactly how I envisioned & was SO kind and personable during the entire appointment. I’m so happy I have found someone I can trust with my hair! I will definitely be back in the future :)

Jane Mertick Marjan did my hair and makeup for a wedding. She was friendly, professional and most importantly listened to what I wanted. I was very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend her.

manuel canales Marjan has by far been the best hair stylist I have ever had! She is exceptional in all areas. She is kind, professional, detail oriented, a gifted artist with hair and make-up, and a perfectionist. She always exceeds my expectations!

Sara Moulana Designs Marjan has been working on my hair for many years. I have used her for various services such as Brazilian Blow Out, High Light, Hair Cut and Simply Color. I have always received complements on my hair and I have no hesitation in recommending her to my friends and family. I like the fact that she is honest with me about what I need without trying to add un-necessary costs. In addition, she is always pleasant and fun to chat with while she works on my hair :)

sandie marcus Marjan is simply the best!!! I have been her client for 14 years & have never been disappointed. Her haircuts, coloring, highlights & Brazilians are of the best quality & professionalism. In addition she is a lovely person who knows what will look best but is never pushy. She is an expert hairdresser but her prices are most reasonable. I would never go anywhere else!

Jila Moghaddas Marjan did an amazing job! She spent a lot of time with me as my hair required a ton treatment and care. She colored my hair perfectly, and gave me a stylish cut. Highly recommend her as she did an amazing job!

Nancy Leland Wow. Nice location, staff, and salon. Ani Wegner was AMAZING. I had lost much hair through abusive chemical treatments to my hair, and Ani made my hair look wonderful.

Maggie Macdonald You will get the best hair in OC with an entire salon filled with elite stylists. Skin Care services as well.

Frezia Chirila Ani Wenger made my hair look the best all the time! She is cutting my family hair for about 8 years and shes doing an amazing job. She is really a nice woman which kept me coming back thru the years. Ani knows what she was doing, she is so accomodating and a joy to be around. My kids love to have haircuts with Ani. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fresh cut!

Bruce Miller Samantha rocks

Galiya Muratova Tatyana did an amazing job with my hair! I showed her a reference, and the result was exactly what I wanted. She’s so skilled and attentive—I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!!!

Linda Martinez I thought I would have to drive to Los Angeles for a decent haircut. After 10 years of searching, I couldnt find a stylist in Orange County who truly delivered—even among so-called celebrity stylists. Then I stumbled upon Tatyana’s business profile and thought, why not? I’m so glad I did! Tatyana gave me the most technically precise bob I’ve ever had. But beyond her precision, she cut my hair in a way that truly flattered my face, enhancing my overall look and boosting my confidence. She’s an artist at the top of her game, and her talent speaks for itself. If you’re looking for a skilled stylist who understands both technique and aesthetics, look no further. Book an appointment now—before she becomes so in demand that it’s impossible to get one!

Jillian Quinton I found Tatyana through Google research and I was impressed by her website and the reviews she received. I really enjoyed meeting her and I am so happy with my hair results. I thought Tatyana was very professional and insightful and she really took the time to ensure I got the best results with my desired haircut. I would highly recommend going to her if you are in need of some good hair care.

Niloofar Ojani I had the pleasant opportunity to visit Tatyanas Salon for a haircut. I requested her to trim the ends and create full layers. She is very patient, professional and precise in her work. I appreciated that she took the time to discuss different aspects of the haircut before starting. Im so happy with my new hair. The Salon is very organized, private, and curtained. Thank you for sharing your talents ✨

Lovely Agarwal Tatyana is great! This was my first time at her salon and I wanted a layered hair style. Tatyana knew exactly what needed to be done and she is so skilled at her craft! She knew what style of layers/length will suit me and I am set as her regular client from now on!

Diane Massaro Wendy did such an amazing job on my balayage! She is so nice and so knowledgeable with many years of experience. Its always a delight going to the salon and my hair always turns out fantastic! Thank you Wendy!

Amy Bennett Wendy worked magic on my hair. I decided to try out the magic sleek for the first time, and my hair has never been so smooth and tame. She was really knowledgeable about her products and also just fun to chat with :) Thanks a million, Wendy

Ki Ki Wendy always does such an amazing job on my hair! I’ve gone here 3x for a color services and I love how patient and flexible she is with me during each appointment. Each time I’ve come I’ve asked for a slightly different color and she’s always willing to adjust and answer any questions I have for her regarding my hair. She also offers a free consultation (which is something no other hair stylist I’ve used does), and I learned soo much about myself and what hair care would work best for me. No exaggeration, she’s the best hair colorist/stylist I’ve ever met and you definitely won’t regret using her service.

Raquel Jones I had my first appointment with Wendy for some highlights, and she nailed it! She is not only talented, but extremely gracious and considerate. I look forward to many more!!!

Varshini Reddy Gina did an amazing job with my haircut! She took the time to listen to what I wanted and gave great suggestions that suited my face shape and hair type. Her attention to detail and precision made all the difference, and I walked out feeling confident and refreshed. On top of that, she was super friendly and made the whole experience enjoyable. Highly recommend Gina if you’re looking for a skilled and professional hairstylist!

Nicole Lee Gina always takes great care of my hair! Its been two years since I started going to her, and I cant imagine going anywhere else haha I usually get a long hair trim and layers, but today I decided to try short hair for the first time. I love it so much! Thank you, Gina! ♥️

Sadaf Rashidi Gina did a great job coloring my hair and my moms hair. She is exceptional and could t recommend her more! It took me month to find a great hair stylist that don’t just take your money and does a bad job. She actually saves you money and recommends what is best for your hair!

Molly Nakano I’ve been coming to Gina for the last 2 years and she’s always done a great job. Last time I came she gave my hair this great natural balayage and she always makes sure I like the style and length of my cut and is willing to make adjustments!

Ashley Morris-Carter Joy is AMAZING at what she does!! Today was my first appointment with her but I have been using her hair products for some time. She was professional and quick. I enjoyed my time and I love my hair. She also makes her own hair products that promote and ensure hair health! Everything she makes I have purchased. Her edge control is unbeatable. I have been searching for an edge control for me - my hair lays down for nothing but her edge control did the trick. She definitely knows what she is doing and you and your hair are in good hands with Joy! Update: 03/18/2023 Joy, I just want to sing your praises and tell you how much I love your hair mist and oil. I have been using both products for a little over a month. I use the mist daily and noticed that my hair was very moisturized without being greasy. My hair was extremely soft when I took out my braids and I noticed that I had less buildup and dandruff in my hair. For my hair that’s a huge improvement. I know this is all thanks to your products. Overall my hair is healthier and I am excited to see the improvements in my hair as I continue to use your products.

Aaliyah Amari Adams I am a first time customer who had a beautiful experience with Joyonce. I got goddess knottless braids and they are everything I want and more! I was unsure of the curl pattern I wanted. Joyonce said “I got you,” and proceeded to work her magic. In the end, she gave me a look that fits my face perfectly. I was skeptical about the price at first, but you actually get what you pay for here! I’ll definitely be back.

alia mccoy I have gotten many different types of styles done with JAC Hair and have loved them!! Not only does Joy care about the quality of her work she cares about her clients experience and satisfaction as well. When you find that person who consistently does your hair the way you like.. even in many different styles… you want to stick with them! Joy is that person for me. I have recommended Joy to plenty of my friends!

Christian Scott I got my hair braided for the first time at JAC Hair & Beauty and I had a wonderful experience. The level of expertise was beyond my expectation. The personable, communicative and easy going nature of JAC was refreshing and made the appointment enjoyable. I love my hair & I can’t wait to be back.

Alaa Adam The most wonderful hair experience I have had by far! First of all, Joy’s punctuality and professionalism was so apparent throughout the entire appointment! She was beyond friendly and absolutely a pleasure to be around. Her area was very clean and tidy and the entire atmosphere was very cozy and inviting. I also really appreciated the privacy. It was like getting my hair done at my friends house! I also really appreciated her checking in with me every few minutes about the tension of the locs and made sure they weren’t tight or bothering me! As for the hairstyle!! Omggg!! I got soft faux locs for the first time but definitely not the last and definitely always getting them here. The hair is light and fluffy, the locs are not tight at all and the flexibility of the hair is amazing! The edges were laid with her amazing edge control and I left the salon looking like a billion bucks. I will definitely be going only to her from now because of her incredible energy and vibes and her wonderful work!

Jessica Robinson Rachel is AMAZING at doing hair! I have been going to her for years for a full highlight and cut and I always leave a satisfied customer, feeling confident and beautiful. She loves what she does and really takes pride in her work, always learning new techniques, and what products are the best quality and safe for your hair. I always get compliments on my hair and give credit to Rachel for her amazing work!!

Kait Healey Amazing Hair Stylist and even had my extensions done here for a better price then anywhere else. I would highly recommend.

Anna Marie Cwieka Rachel has been cutting / coloring / highlighting my hair for some eight years. She always has honest feedback before diving into a new style. She has great ideas for possible modifications that might work better with your particular hair. She takes the time to help you understand how to achieve the look in the photo on your own. And as a human, she is absolutely delightful. Her color work is always rich and her highlighting looks sunkissed and natural.
