Styles by Charles is a must! Every time I leave his chair I feel like a new woman ! I want to flip my hair back and forth !!!

I bought a Groupon for cut color and blow dry for Mike Mejia. I texted him since I saw a couple reviews state that he prefers text. No problem. Texted me back and I made my appt. The day I was supposed to go was this past Saturday but I wasn't feeling well that day. I texted him and rescheduled for yesterday. I showed up on time and he was with another client. I had to wait about 30 min which wasn't a big deal since I was off work that day. I will just say don't show up if you're in a hurry...this isn't supercuts here lol. He had told me longer hair would be a bit more which is fairly standard practice. Anyway he did see another client who came in at 1:30 who wanted her extensions removed, but the color had to stay on my roots for a long time to cover the gray so that was ok by me. The entire appt did take about an hour and a half, but I was prepared for that. All in all it was a good experience and he didn't even charge me extra for longer hair, so he got that for his tip :) He was a cool guy, down to earth and easy to talk to. The only thing I would say is that some of the other stylists should probably not answer the phone and chat while doing someone's hair. The phone call will wait but your client probably doesn't want to :) read more

I absolutely love my hair dresser at Alexander's. Her name is Krista. She makes me feel like a zillion bucks whenever I leave. And it's not even expensive. I was paying the same price at a hole in the wall place that didn't even do nearly as good a job. Krista is talented and friendly. I highly recommend this place. read more

I am a hairdresser, active in the industry. I personally worked with Lori G, and to tell you the truth when i moved from Orange County to Denver, I couldn't think of a better stylist to take over my clientele. Seriously, I trust her with my hair and not to mention my best girl friends' hair as well. She is top notch and on her game, she keeps up regularly with her education to bring you the latest and greatest. A complete professional, and sitting in her chair will make you feel like you have just found your best friend. (who tantalizes your tresses) Lori is a must for your do'! read more

Bought an amazing deal online to get a cut and a color by Nhan. She was more than flexible with my hair appointment and did everything to accommodate me. Alexander's isn't the most glamorous salon, but it will do. I was coming from Tustin on a Friday after work called on my way to let her know I was running a little late because of traffic and she was totally ok with it. She just said, "Ok, take your time honey, drive safely." I already knew we were going to get along just great. I strolled in and the receptionist told me it was her birthday. Nhan stayed on a Friday night, on her birthday, to do my hair! She was the nicest hairstylist. Was honest with me about what would work with my hair and what would look good on me. Within less than two hours, I left with my hair feeling amazing and healthier than it had felt in years. I was ready for a night on the town! Summary: Amazing customer service Great cut and color Comfortable salon read more

Ok I used a groupon. But will DEFINITELY come back to the great service I had. Never had a guy do my hair before. But I must say , Mike Mejia was my hairstylist and did an awesome job. He was very professional, and knew what he was doing. Thank goodness!! Because my last hairstylist elsewhere really fried my hair. I received a color, cut , and Brazilian Blowout. He explained everything to me in detail in what I needed to do to get my hair back healthy. Mike was even a good conversationalist. So if you want your hair done RIGHT, go to Mike Mejia. He's also nice on the eyes !!!! read more

This review is for Thomas Vallez, who is just AWESOME!!! Thanks a million for the much needed color and cut. Not only is the color amazing, but he cut just enough to make my hair feel healthier and so much silkier. Thomas has an upbeat attitude and remembered me from a year ago. Thanks again, I've already received a ton of compliments and my mom now wants to come see you I will definitely be seeing you in three months for a touch up read more

I got a groupon deal with Michael Meija. He was nice but the haircut was just alright. It was my first time getting highlights and he was helpful. I showed him some picture of typical long layered hair. They turned out way too choppy for my taste and I knew it would be as he was working. Idk what the norm is to fix a haircut without hurting their feelings so I didn't say anything but to add more layers in the front. As for my highlights, I didn't want anything drastic so we went with the caramel color. I'm new to this but it seemed like my roots still showed after it was done(about a cm?). Meh I'm not complaining cause he took the extra charge for long hair off ($20 if your hair is longer than 12 in), but to those who care about the final look.. I do love the color my bangs are a little more blonde but otherwise I like the way it looks now. It contrasted hugely at first but it seems to have settled in. Idk if I should return because its been only a month and I have 2 cm of roots showing and to get a touchup might be pointless if it's too look like it was originally. My hair grows fast but not that fast for 4 weeks. read more

This review is specifically for Karen McDonald. I found her via a Living Social deal. She was a bit more expensive than where I had gone to previously, but she has GOOD quality products, including the OPI dryer that only takes 30 seconds a coat. I have now been going to Karen for over 1 1/2 years, pretty much on a regular 2 week rotation. I get a Gel Mani and a Pedi each visit. I work with my hands a lot and regular nail polish wont even last a day. Thanks to Karen skill my fingernails look great for 2 full weeks. She has a large selection of Gel colours and often considers her regular clients when ordering new colours (I've gotten regular texts from her when she had a new colour for me). She has a great sense of humour and is a pleasure to talk with while getting my nails done. I recently moved out of the area, but haven't even looked for a replacement. It is worth it to me to make the 30 mile drive back for my appointment with Karen. read more

Hair stylist: Steve I love getting my haircut from here! I always have pretty layers and the way he styles my hair with Alterna hair concrete after the cut is awesome. I have been going to Steve since Summer 2008 till present and he always takes the time to listen to what I want and I never feel rushed. I have gone to a lot and I mean A LOT of hair places including asian places where they NEVER LISTEN. You say 1 inch they cut 5 inches. Then I cry. If I tell Steve 1 inch it will be 1 inch only. Love that about him. It is such a silly thing to appreciate but when you have experimented and experienced how terrible other hair stylers can be you learn to love when they follow instructions. The first few times I would bring Steve a photo and I swear it is like he copy-and-pasted the girl's hair in the photo onto my head! Every time I get a haircut I swear I feel prettier and less shaggy than when I first walk in. Random people and friends always compliment my hair so they must notice how awesome-sauce Steve's haircutting skills are. I think he said he uses a $900 scissor too. OOH LALA! Makes my hair feel FANCY. Love steve :D. don't get a haircut you will regret and cry about afterwards, go to Steve. read more

Love this place, Steve Hansen is awesome with hair, Amy is great for waxing. read more

Alexander's Salon and Spa - Steve Hansen is the best - Hair Salons Near Me - Brea, California

Have been going to my stylist for more than 20+ years. He is by far and away one of the best hair dressers in the business. His "rules" exist for your comfort and enjoyment well as for those working around you and your stylist. He is always very professional and courteous and treats you as if you were his only client. Probably explains why he is always booked. He takes the extra time to make sure you are completely happy with your results. Thank you STEV! I will be coming to you for another 20+ years. read more

BRIZA!!!! Is a hair god !!!! She honestly exceeded my expectations. She went above and beyond, my hair has NEVER looked so good . I am so grateful that I found her, I can honestly say i won't go to anyone else ever again. She's a true artist and her assistant Trevor is very efficient. Love love love ! Oh and the salon is very clean and huge ! read more

Alexander's Salon and Spa - Hair done by Briza!!! So in love with it !!! #nofilter - Hair Salons Near Me - Brea, California

Briza is the BEST!! I went in with dark brown, almost black hair that I dyed twice and i wanted to go blonde with some balayage (yeah usually very tough to work with when you have dyed your hair almost black,) BUT Briza has helped make the process so easy and I haven't walked out with orange hair or displeased when I go with her. Her goal is to get you the hair you want and to keep it healthy along the process. My hair still feels really soft and healthy(: She has also worked on my friends hair and it looks amazing! Can't wait to visit her again soon! I highly recommend her to anyone! read more

My wife bought a groupon for highlights and a haircut. She had 2 stylists to choose from: Michael and Thomas. Michael was done with groupons. Thomas was available. The appointment was scheduled at a convenient time for my wife. Partial highlight, haircut, and a blow-dry was done in ONE hour! WOW. She never had such a fast service and she has been doing highlights every other month for the last 12 years at different places across the America. The haircut is P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!! Thank you, Thomas! You got yourself a client :) read more

This review is for Thomas Vallez. I purchased a Groupon for a highlights, cut and deep condition. As soon as I walked in the door I was greeting by his friendly and welcoming face. Good vibes right off the bat. I let him know what I was thinking of doing and told him to just do his thing and my hair came out super cute! He does excellent work. Not to mention he was really nice and just a genuinely nice guy. Really enjoyable experience and I'll definitely be going back to him. Thanks Thomas!! read more

If you're looking for an amazing hairstylist, I only have one name for you....MICHAEL ESSE!!! In my first visit, he gave me the most beautiful highlights and from that moment on, I was HOOKED! I appreciate that with every visit, from the moment I walk in, he is always so friendly and welcoming, and really takes the time to listen to what it is that I want. And because he is an educator for Paul Mitchell he has an amazing range of skills and knowledge that he brings to each of his services. Whether he's doing beautiful highlights, gorgeous coloring, or precision haircuts...he knows what's up with hair! Now let's talk about his AMAZING wash house experience...scalp massage, hot towels, neck and shoulder massage....the whole nine yards! So relaxing and it's complimentary with every service...truly can't get any better than that! Bottom line is, I would follow Michael anywhere! With every visit, he consistently delivers beautiful results that I always get so many compliments on! He is passionate about doing great hair and it shows in his work. My hair has never looked better and I have never been happier! MICHAEL ESSE ROCKS!!! read more

Review for Marinda Kennison Marinda has been doing my hair for years. I always kid with her and tell her that I'd follow her to the moon if she moved...but I'm serious. Marinda has done an amazing job helping me grow out my hair while keeping it healthy at the same time. She's a genius; she knows exactly what to do every single time and is always keeping current on hair products and trends to share with clients. I really LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, what she's done to my hair. I highly recommend her. read more

Please if you are looking to dye your hair Briza is you're only stylist you need. She's an expert on balayage and ombré and I wouldn't go to anyone else to dye my hair. She genuinely listens to exactly what you want and she'll do it the healthiest way possible. She currently has a 50% off coupon for balayage which I think is such a deal with her amazing work. I've been going to her for 2 years now and every 3-4 months I look forward to getting my hair revamped. Briza is the best!! read more

Alexander's is an amazing salon and I always have a great experience. I have trusted Anna Lujan with my locks for years - she's the absolute best! read more

I was shocked at how massive this place was when I went a few weeks ago to get a haircut here. There were like 30 stations and people everywhere! I guess that is a good sign. I decided to go here after reading the yelp reviews and although it wasn't a bad experience it wasn't anything worth writing home about. Not knowing which stylist to ask for when I called in I was just assigned one. it turned out to be the woman's first week there which made me nervous, but she said she had been "doing hair for 50 years" and she looked old enough to be telling the truth. I got a simple trim and she did an OK job, but I might have liked having one of the hipper, younger stylists. I would go back to her, but I might try another stylist first. read more

I have been going to Alexander's for years and highly recommend this salon. I do have my favorite, Andreka, who performs miracles with color. The salon is super clean and everyone is friendly. Just a great vibe there! read more

This past week i had myhair cut by Michael Esse.. Absolutly amazing technique, he took the time to listen and do exactly what i wanted, i have been to a few places and some people do not listen i now that i gave him a challenge due to the fact i have 50 under fusion extentions. he did amazing and fixed whatthe original "expert" did and tehy look better than when they were put in.He was very personable and warm. my hair turned out great and would highly reccomend him to any person that wants a fabulous cut. Thanks Michael! read more

This place is huge! First time and I was blown away. I live in Costa Mesa and yes this salon is in Brea, but totally worth it. Plus if you are like me I only get your hair done like once a month so the drive isn't bad at all! My stylist was Haley Webb. She's freaking amazing! Must see her! Like I said the salon is pretty big, but she has her own space/room where you have more privacy. It's super cute. I have a lot of thick curly hair and she totally tamed my mane. She did color, cut, and blow out (I know she used a different term for the blow out but I forgot ) She's so bubbly and funny. She doesn't rush. Which is awesome cause some stylist nowadays just rush and fly thru appointments. I love my hair results! Its so soft and straight. My head feels lightweight. Im getting so many complaints! My husband and kids are brutally honest and they love it. I totally recommend seeing Haley Webb at this salon. read more

This review is for Kara Hill Kara Hill recently cut my hair. It was long, straight, with no style at all; she cut a super cute short A-line cut that has so much style and shows off my personality perfectly! She also color-corrected my sisters yellow-monotoned hair into a beautiful, fllattering color. The two of us left the salon feeling and looking beautiful. I am very happy with the work that Kara did, she's extrememly professional, takes great pride in her work and does an amazing job. I highly recommend everyone to get their hair cut and/or colored by Kara Hill. read more

Briza is amazing! I've been seeing her monthly for the last 3 months. She's done a complete color correction on the mess that I showed up with lol. My hair was completely fried and broken and she took it on completely confident that she can fix it! And boy has she fixed it! :) I'm so happy with the results, my hair is in better condition even with the monthly balayage and color stripping, she uses the best products out there and is super professional! She explains each and every step of her hair magic process which of course makes her clients confident in what she's doing for them. I've recommended her to my mom and she was very happy with her results also. She is a total balayage/ color correction expert, very highly recommended! read more

If you're looking for a great cut & style, this is the place to go. But most of all ask for Krista Johnson! From all the hairstylist that I've gone to/tried, Krista is the best by far. Other stylist I've tried seem to have a "safe" cut/style that you can barely tell that I had anything done to my hair. I love the way she styles my hair, its a fun stylish look. You will definitely leave the salon feeling good. You can definitely tell you came from a salon and changed your hair when you has her as your hairstylist. Another good thing about this salon is that they're open late, which is what I was looking for. A salon thats open when I get off work. Definitely ask for Krista Johnson let her know I recommended her! read more

OMG! I love SCOTT! I love him so much I drive all the way from Huntington Beach to get my hair cut. You can tell you have a great cut when you wake up in the morning and your hair looks great even before you run your fingers or a brush through it! My husband has been going to Scott for over 30 years. This man is blessed. read more

Haley was amazing! Super nice and attentive to her clients, she kept checking on me throughout my appointment making sure I was taken care of. Gave me EXACTLY what I wanted and couldn't be more pleased with my hair. I will be back and recommending to all my friends and family! read more

This review is for Marinda. WOW! What a great hair cut every time. I moved to North Hollywood and I still make the hour drive through traiffic once a month to see her! I'd call her a perfectionist. She always takes the time to make things perfect. I've never felt like she rushed my hair cut. Highly recommended. read more

Such a gorgeous and spacious salon, I love the interior and how you're transformed into another world with the sky painted ceiling and fountain in the waiting area, along with the coffee bar If you need a pick me up or something to eat while waiting. It's truly a high end salon, whether you need your hair done, nails, make up, even facials, this is your one stop shop. I personally come here to see Briza, she is a talented hair artist. Never a disappointment when I leave her, she genuinely cares about the client and the well being of their hair. She has a natural ability to know what will work and makes it easy to trust her and do her thing. Always a pleasure to see her! Whether male or female she can work her magic, she just did my Boyfriends' hair as well and did a wonderful Job, she's even great at trimming beards if need be! He used to go to super cuts but now won't go anywhere else. He let her completely change his look and loves It. If you're looking for a fresh new style and want someone who has your best interest at heart and not just about the money you should definitely book an appointment with her today! read more

I purchased a groupon and booked an appt. with Mike Mejia for a haircut and partial highlights. Contrary to other reviews, I had no trouble scheduling an appointment on my day off. The consultation was quick and he advised I add a root touch up for my stubborn grays at an additional cost. So glad he did because I love my new look! Exactly what I needed. Thanks Mike!! read more

Had a wonderful first time visit here thanks to the amazing Cindy! She gave me a beautiful cut and color while being positively delightful the entire time. She works with you and listens to what you want while also giving her opinion, just the kind of stylist I was hoping for.

I usually go there every 6 months to do my highlights. Esther is my stylist and she is very good. Years ago some one did a horrible job on my hair and Esther fixed it and leave it the way I always wanted it. I definitely recommend this salon and Esther as a stylist. read more

Hair stylist: Melody Martinez I LOVE MELODY! She is the best hair stylist Ive ever had. After going to her no one else is allowed to cut or color my hair. She started doing my highlights back in June of 2009. I went to my sisters hair stylist at first who wanted to strip my hair and when I went to Melody she said she would NOT strip my hair because it would really damage it and she would not want to do that to me. She is very nice and kind hearted. I've referred many clients to her. Every where I go I always get people asking me where I get my hair done. read more

ANDREA OVERSTREET is AWESOME. She is an artist with scissors and color. Seriously, I have tried to find someone closer to home but I always find myself coming back for a cut that I know I will love. I am never disappointed. We have been through a lot, she and I. Bangs..no bangs, highlights, light brown, dark brown, red, sleek, fluffy, shorter, longer.....and I have always found myself calling or texting her within days to let her know how much I love it and the compliments I have received. 5 STARS ARE NOT ENOUGH!!!, read more
