    Before - air dry right after a quick shower
    Summer M.

    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.

    After some thoughts I still decided to write this review. DON'T GO FOR HAIR straightening. It's my 2nd time there for hair straightening but he ruined my hair and it was a really uncomfortable and unpleasant experience overall. Please see pictures for my ruined hair after straightening, if you know you know. Also, my scalp is burnt so painful during the heating process and I had to use a iced coke to make it feel better, also the AC in his room is unreasonably strong and I get migraine when AC is hitting directly to your head especially when your hair is still wet, I told him several times and he finally turned it off. 思考了一下还是决定来写这个评论,不要去做头发拉直。 这是我第二次去找他做,很遗憾这一次他把我的头发拉焦了,我发了焦掉的头发照片,我不需要多说 拉直过头发的人看到这个照片应该就知道有多糟糕了。总体拉直头发的经历也非常不舒服,首先头发加热的时候我的头皮被烤到疼痛难忍,我都需要拿冰可乐一直冰敷才能好下来,理发师全程不觉得有任何问题甚至还说"有这么疼吗"?在我表达了头皮被烫到很疼好几次之后 ,他还继和我说头发要继续加热。 我感觉我作为一个顾客完全没有被照顾和体会到。 空调也开得很大,我是一个空调对着头吹会严重偏头疼的人,尤其是在我头发湿透的情况下,在店里我多次提出希望空调关低一点,到最后他才调高温度。

    Alan is one of the best hair stylists in the area. His studio is clean, and he is extremely friendly. He was able to fit me for an appointment the same day as well. The thing I loved & appreciate the most was that he really listened to what I had in mind and meanwhile provided his professional opinions on what would work specifically with my hair and gave me suggestions. He took time to explain what different colors for highlights or single process dyes would look like and showed me pictures and I knew I could trust him after hearing him explain. The end result was even better than what I envisioned! I'm so so happy with my hair and how it turned out and definitely will be coming back to Alan in the future. Go with Alan you won't regret it!!

    Alan is the best! I have lived in irvine long time. He's the only to go hair designer. I followed him every hair salon he joined. Now finally he owns his own studio. It's been a while that I want to have my hair done. But the Covid 19 delayed. I went there today. Guess what, the studio is clean and organized. And I got a brand new stylish haircut with highlight. Alan is very easy and talented! He understands all my needs and never hard sells anything to me. Highly recommended!

    Alan did such a great job with my hair. He didn't cut off any more than I asked, and made sure every that I approved every step of the way.

Sometimes I bring a picture for inspiration, and other times I just say "whatever you recommend" and he just does stuff. He tends to pick very flattering, naturalish looks (vs. some other places I've been that are more trend-oriented), but at this point as a natural dark brunette, I've come out with a variety of different brown balayage options, a pretty reddish brown, and an almost black color, and all have looked very healthy and pretty. I like that he's able to give me some variety without damaging it and without suggesting anything that would look bad on me. I have a little gray spot and he does a great job blending it with the highlights so that I don't have to do permanent color. Vibe is very casual and the prices are inexpensive for the area. He is a very honest businessman and will tell you up front if he doesn't think a look is going to be feasible. One time I wanted to go lighter and he lifted the color for a bit, tested it and showed me, went a little longer with no change and let me know that was my limit so that I wouldn't get breakage. He's very professional in conversation topics, keeping it friendly but without anything stressful. I feel safe and comfortable coming here. Overall, I definitely recommend this place and Ryan in particular.

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.
