Rebecca Jones was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. My hair was severely matted, and she spent four hours carefully detangling it without ever making me feel embarrassed or judged. She made a stressful experience feel comfortable, and I'm so grateful for the care she gave me. I would absolutely recommend her! read more

Alkali Salon - The after of the detangle/haircut - Makeup Artists Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Jaimie is 1/1. Struggled for years bouncing between stylists never really getting the results I hoped for until I started seeing Jaimie. She makes me feel comfortable everytime I'm in her chair and I genuinely look forward to seeing her. She feels more like a friend than a stylist. Even when I have a hard time explaining what I want she somehow knows exactly what I mean and nails it everytime. Brings me great peace of mind to trust someone completely with my hair, I couldn't recommend her more. read more

I recently got a HydraFacial from Linh, and it was absolutely incredible! From the moment I walked in, she made the experience so peaceful and relaxing that I almost fell asleep. She even gave me a cozy blanket, it honestly felt like I was at a luxury spa! My skin felt amazing afterward, and I loved that there was no downtime. My face was glowing, my skin tone looked more even, and even my makeup seemed to go on and sit better afterward. Linh is wonderful, and you can tell she truly cares about making the experience relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend booking a facial with her-you won't regret it! read more

I got my hair colored and cut by Rebecca town days ago and I still can't get over how much I love it. She has been doing my hair for a few years and I think she does amazing work. I have been getting so many compliments on the color. My hair has had a difficult time growing due to a medical procedure I had five years ago, but since I've been working with get the length is coming through and my hair is getting fuller! Thank you Becca for your blessed hands! I will see you again soon. Jessica read more

Had my service done here by Rebecca, she did a fantastic job with layering hair and giving me the style of bangs I've always wanted! It's been very hard for me to describe the exact cut I wanted and she captured it perfectly. I was able to grab a very early appointment at 7:30am which works out so well for people who have work later in the morning. Rebecca was so sweet, made great conversation and kept me comfortable the whole time. I'd highly recommend her services. She's fantastic! read more

Jade is the best. I've been getting my hair done by Jade for years now, and I absolutely love her. I've gotten balayage, highlights and haircuts over time and she's been solid and consistent each time -- not to mention reasonably priced. She's professional, friendly and doesn't upsell anything. Her salon is located near the SoCo plaza with no frills friendly vibe. Highly recommended! read more

Linh did an amazing job on my powdered brows. I had very uneven eyebrows, and she expertly evened them out, made them fuller, clean, defined, and exactly how I envisioned perfect brows to look. She truly listened to what I wanted and delivered flawless results that was completely pain free. I couldn't be happier. read more

Alkali Salon - Healed Brows - Makeup Artists Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Thank you Jaimie for the amazing cut and blowout! She used this technique where she left the brushes in my hair for a bit to keep hold even longer and I definitely noticed a difference. I also appreciated that she knew a lot about curly hair and was able to recommend products and techniques that would help my curls shine. She also asked if I wanted a blowout or preferred to style my hair curly which I thought was really nice! Usually folks just opt for the blow out for styling but I like that she gave options based on my hair. The salon itself was nice. It was pretty busy on Saturday afternoon but there's plenty of parking on this shopping center. The owner also gave me a free conditioner since it was my first time in the salon. Overall, it was a great experience! read more

Alkali Salon - Long layers and blowout from Jaimie - Makeup Artists Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I visited Alkali for the first time yesterday and saw Cera. I called the day prior and asked who specialized in curly hair and they pointed in her direction. I cannot recommend Cera enough. She asked so many questions to figure out what my specific vision was, offered suggestions based on the amount of effort I wanted to put into my hair every day, and was so comfortable to chat with throughout the appointment. The shag she gave me totally transformed my look and I love my hair (after a long while of really hating how it looked). If you've got curly hair, go see Cera - you won't regret it! read more

I was a client of alkali Salon since the day they opened and and I enjoyed seeing this business grow with the amazing staff they have, but recently I was so disappointed to see Miss Michele using the account of such an elite establishment to hurt other businesses in the area instead of supporting them. Definitely not worth my five stars anymore. read more

I was really looking forward to my haircut because I only get one once a year. I made an appointment online and was excited they had availability the next day. I went in on Thursday for a wash, cut and style at 12. Dania was lovely and I'm rating one star because she gave me tips on how to do a blowout at home. The blowout looked so cute BUT my layered haircut is not what I wanted. I washed my hair Friday night and let it dry only to see the layers were SO off and chunky. There was even a strand that was missed. I'm really sad because I tipped and thought the blowout looked great only to realize the cut itself was messy. I do not recommend for a haircut. I'll be going somewhere else to see if they can fix it. read more

Alkali Salon - Choppy and unblended. - Makeup Artists Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Love me some Jaimie. I asked for a blow out initially and flipped the switch on her when I came in, and home girl was flexible and happy to accommodate. Very chill vibe. I didn't feel the need to talk or put on which is so nice. I felt at peace and safe during the entire experience. All the clients and hair dressers seemed to be getting along, especially Yuri kiki'ing with his client next chair over. Parking for the studio was easy. Highly recommend the studio and Jaimie. read more

I went in and asked for a complicated version of bangs. I have never had bangs before and was super nervous for the change. But safe to say I was nervous for no reason. Rebecca did an absolutely phenomenal job trimming my hair. She was also super friendly and personable. I think I found my go to hair stylist!! read more

My most recent experience was great! Charlotte made sure that the toner and color choice matched to what I wanted. The haircut felt fresh and she noticed a difference in my bangs and asked how I would want it, keeping in mind my face framing and hair texture. Overall, great experience! read more

Great loved my hair everytime. Always an amazing experience and all their products smell so good!

Was desperately in need of a haircut and found this place on yelp. Made an appointment online and saw that there was availability for the next day. Booked it and arrived the following morning. Seamless appointment system and was randomly assigned a stylist. Location was easy to find and there was plenty of parking. Joey was amazing from start to finish. Really great personality and very experienced. Great conversation that made time go by fast. She was great at multi tasking and made my hair beautiful and healthy again! I will be coming back :) read more

Linh has been doing my eyebrows for over a decade, and she is truly the best! She always shapes my brows perfectly and consistently does an amazing job. I've recommended her to so many friends over the years, and every single one has been so happy with their brows. She's incredibly talented, professional, and always pays attention to the details. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my eyebrows! read more

Can I just say, in the past I have had such a hard time finding someone who understands what hairstyle and cut I want. Well today that all changed! I scheduled a haircut appointment with Jaimie and I left feeling like a million bucks. She knew exactly what I NEEDED. She walked me through my haircut and shared some knowledge about my hair. Jaimie went above and beyond and I am super happy with my haircut. No need to drive to Long Beach or Los Angeles for alternative vintage haircuts when Jaimie is here! Will be recommending all my friends to her. read more

Always get my haircut here! I have been going to this salon for about 3 years now. I try to get my hair trimmed twice a year. My stylist is Uriel "yuri" he does the best layers! He actually takes his time cutting hair unlike other haircuts I've gotten that feel rushed. I would recommend booking a week before for availability. The salon itself is very well kept. I always recommend my friends this salon! read more

I scheduled my appointment weeks in advance to get my hair cut and colored with a specific stylist for a wedding. I was given a notice the night prior that my appointment was canceled because the stylist I booked with decided to do a workshop with other clients. I will say 1 star given for the salon trying to fix the situation by offering another stylist, however, I did not like the work of the other artists so I went elsewhere. read more

I had an amazing experience with Tien Nguyen! She did my Yuko treatment beautifully, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

My hair looks and feels amazing! I highly recommend Tien to anyone looking for beautiful, healthy, silky-smooth hair. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience! read more

This place is fantastic! It was my first time visiting a salon, and I had a wonderful experience from start to finish.

I highly recommend requesting her if you're planning a visit! read more

What I love about this place is that you can make an appt and get seen the next day which is nice, I've usually never had a problem with this! It is also very clean and in a great location! Recently, I scheduled an appt next day for 10 and the stylist didn't show up until 10:28! He texted me at 9:54 saying he was running late, and didn't arrive until almost 10:30. At one point I almost got up and left because I wasn't even sure if the stylist was going to show up. When I arrived, the salon was full of other stylists already working on other customers and I didn't get a single greeting or was acknowledged by anyone. I awkwardly just sat down on a chair and never once did anyone ask if I needed help. Lastly, my two font short layers ended up being uneven. I pointed this out to the stylist towards the end and he said they were fine. See attached picture. I've been going to this salon for the last 3-4 years or so and I've never had a bad experience, however after this time I am not sure if I will return :( I paid almost $100 for the cut alone and I still tipped 20%. read more

i've been going to Jaimie for a couple years now + she never disappoints! She has always been super talented with cuts and blonde coloring (mainly balayage for me). Recently I've decided to go full blonde with her and my hair is still so healthy and long! She has also gotten me to be more adventurous adding pops of vivid colors and my new obsession, wispy bangs ! Her pricing is such a steal for the finished product, and she's always super transparent. I wouldn't go to anyone else! read more

Great experience with Audrey! Moved back to OC after living in SD for a few years and was looking for a new hair stylist. My friend recommended Alkali and I'm glad she did! I booked with Audrey for a trim and she refreshed my layers. She's super meticulous and incredibly sweet. The hair wash and neck massage were so nice too. Can't wait to come for my next trim! Highly recommend. read more

Linh is the best for brows. I got a soft ombré and eyebrow waxing at Alkali Salon and my brows have never looked more natural and polished. She took her time shaping, matched the color perfectly, and made sure everything looked even and flattering before I left. Clean, professional, and worth it! read more

I came here the day of a wedding that I needed to go to and wanted to get my hair done. I definitely recommend coming in wearing whatever you plan to wear to the event, just to make sure that the hair style matches the outfit. There is a ruffle on one side of my dress, so I had thought about mirroring that with some curls and lift on one part of my hair. Audrey was my stylist and she was awesome! I have really high expectations and she met them. For me, it's really hard to justify the price of a blowout and curls, and she was super reasonable and helpful. She added a little lift, and then just ended up curling my hair so that it would be more cost-effective. I really appreciate this about her and not to mention, she did a fantastic job! I also showed her a picture of my daughter's hair since she has wavy/curly hair, and I never know what to do with it. Right off the bat, she knew that my daughter had fine hair and made a couple of recommendations. There is no question that Audrey is a hair expert. If I'm ever in the area, I am going to Audrey. read more

My hair dresser is Leah, recommended to me by a friend and honestly she does amazing work and is so easy and fun to talk to. I mean imagine going to get your hair done and the environment is very still and you're sitting there for 7 hours in silence. That's just me though lol. But I'm very impressed with her work especially considering her specialty is vibrant colors and I've been getting balayage done for years and she did the best job I've ever seen hands down. read more
