I've been with Annie since 2022. Previously I've had bleached & damaged hair by multiple hair stylists, and been to a few hair salons in OC & LA. But I mean it when I say, "Your hair stylist will either break or make your hair". I'm quite simple and tend to focus more on the quality of my hair and haircut itself. Annie has always accommodated my schedule, met my needs in every hairstyle, and is detailed in her work. She's the only person that I schedule that can work with my type of hair. Everyone will have different needs, and she does try her best to accommodate those needs. Would recommend her since she's in Irvine/Mission Viejo. Also, I love how she puts in the effort to decorate her studio! read more

Annie Style Salon - Golden arc mirror is such a vibe - Makeup Artists Near Me - Lake forest, California

I found Annie here on Yelp bc I was looking for a stylist who knows Asian hair and was based in OC. It was super easy to schedule my appointment for a root touchup and frizz smoothing, and my experience was just wonderful. Annie is super talented and knew what would work best for my hair, and she's also very sweet. Her salon space is adorable and the service just top notch. I'm so happy I found her! read more

I drove from San Diego for a haircut with Annie and it was worth the drive! I almost drove to Ktown but am glad I found someone closer. I have long wavy, frizzy thick hair and have a hard time finding hairstylists that can manage my hair. Annie was very easy to talk to and personable. She also didn't hair shame me for my hair texture, but worked with my natural hair and didn't pressure me to get extra treatments. She listened, was skilled and gave me a new cut and style that I love. She also made me delicious ice coffee! Service was over the top :) She was also very observant and acknowledged I had waited longer than expected for my appointment. I appreciated her kindness and thoughtfulness. Thank you! read more

After moving to California from South Carolina, I was a little nervous about finding a new hairstylist. From my very first appointment at Annie Style Salon, Danet put all of those worries to rest. Until today, she had only done my root touch-ups, and I always left happy. Today was my first haircut with her, and I was absolutely amazed. Watching Danet work was like watching an artist. Every cut was intentional and precise. She created beautiful layers, perfectly framed my face with soft, feathered bangs, and gave my hair so much movement and life. This was also the first time I had ever brought a picture of the hairstyle I wanted to a stylist, and somehow Danet made it even better than the photo I showed her! That takes incredible talent. Danet has a true gift. Not only is she highly skilled, but she also treats every client with such grace, kindness, and genuine care. Although English is not her first language, she listens carefully, makes sure she understands exactly what you're hoping for, and then focuses completely on creating beautiful results. I feel so blessed to have found her. It's rare to find someone who combines exceptional technical skill with such a warm and caring heart. If you're looking for a hairstylist who is talented, meticulous, and truly passionate about her work, I cannot recommend Danet highly enough. Thank you so much, Danet! I absolutely love my hair, and I'm already looking forward to my next appointment! -Marianne read more

Annie Style Salon - Thank you Danet! I love my haircut! - Makeup Artists Near Me - Lake forest, California

Annie Style Salon is spacious, clean, bright, and welcoming. My hairstylist, Danet, was so kind and did a great job. It was my first time getting a no bleach balayage and they (Danet and Annie) were very patient walking me through the process and color options. They also offered a complimentary drink and some treats. I'm really happy with the experience, my new hairstyle, and would love to come back in a few months. read more

My teenage son has been getting perms here for the past few years. Annie and Danet does a really great job with male perms. The price has gone up. In the past it's been $120, most recently $160 with a trim. Still reasonable. He gets them a couple times a year. Although Danet doesn't speak English, Annie translates and makes sure that everything is good. I've also gotten color/cut, curtain bangs from Annie. She's a magician-- works on several clients at a time. Don't know how she does it. Super sweet & hospitable. read more

Annie is truly the sweetest and so talented! This was my first appointment with her and I knew right away she was the one. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with such a warm welcome and offered drinks and snacks. Annie is incredibly kind and has a welcoming, calming vibe that immediately makes you feel comfortable. I've always wanted ash blonde hair, but with my naturally dark hair, I could never find someone who could achieve it until Annie. She absolutely nailed it! I'm absolutely in love with my new hair and so happy to have finally found someone I can truly trust. read more

I was looking for a new place for a haircut -- There were so many good reviews of this place, I decided to go for it! It's always a bit nerve wracking finding a new salon. I booked an appointment with Kainoa and it was great! She listened to exactly what I wanted in length and style and made sure to ask me if I was good with the length / layers throughout the cut. The appointment started off with a drink order - yum refreshments!! Thank you for the lemonade! Then a hair wash and then the cut, dry, and style. It was also reassuring that Kainoa explained every step of the way. Very easy to book appointments online and it was a good experience. Appreciate it! read more

My partner and I (queer couple) went to Anni Style Salon today and had such a great experience! Sometimes going into haircut places can feel uncomfortable when asking for a men's cut bc we're not men, but Danet was so kind and respectful the whole time. She did both our perms and haircuts, and the results looked exactly like the reference pictures we brought in. There was a slight language barrier at times, but Danet always checked in to make sure we were happy with the length and style, which we really appreciated. Anni herself was also very welcoming, and the tea service they offered was such a thoughtful touch. The shop is super cute and bright inside, and the overall vibe was warm and comfortable. We left feeling really good about our hair and the experience. Definitely planning to come back! read more

Annie is great. My kids bounced around all over Orange county for years but now they will only go to Annie. The whole family has been going to Annie for years. Everybody there is super nice and helpful. There is always plenty of parking. read more

Serena is always so kind and really understands the style I'm looking for. She's very detail-oriented and always does an amazing job. I'll definitely be coming here from now on! read more

I asked for curtain bangs with blended layers with reference photos but instead I got a choppy, uneven cut Danet did not seem to be receptive when I was showing the reference photos and explaining the haircut I wanted Definitely was not worth $90 Edit: They reached out to me and said that they cannot offer a full refund. They offered for me to come back for Annie to fix the haircut but "We will keep 30% salon credit of your service of that day". It's unclear what keeping 30% salon credit means, but in any case I can't trust that Annie would be any better or be able to fix the damage that Danet caused. Will be going to a different salon to fix the bad haircut. read more

Annie Style Salon - Choppy and uneven, random pieces a lot longer than the rest - Makeup Artists Near Me - Lake forest, California

I made an appointment online around 8:00 pm on a Wednesday night for the following morning because I desperately needed a haircut and I finally found some time in between my busy schedule. I've heard great reviews about all the stylist but decided to go with kainoa because I had been thinking about layers and it looked like she specialized in layers. She DID NOT disappoint. I was a bit late for my appointment because I got mixed up with the time (mom brain) but Kainoa still accommodated me. She was super friendly and asked me what I wanted and she DELIVERED. And she gave me the prettiest blowout after that lasted 3 days and I got compliments nonstop. Thank you!! I will be back for my color! read more

We love Annie Style Salon. I came to Annie through a friend and have been coming back since. I never really had a set stylist but Annie is so nice and talented that I've been a returning customer for 3 years. I've loved every haircut, color, perm that I've received from her. I started bringing my entire family. I've received so many compliments on my hair that I've referred many people to her. It's also super easy scheduling an appointment with her through her website. The only downfall is that she's usually booked about a month out. But that's how you know she's good! read more

Annie is the best! I've come to her for almost 3 years now and have had a Korean setting perm every 10 months and no bleach balayage twice. I absolutely love how both have come out, along with my regular haircuts. Her technique, professionalism, and friendliness have always been great. Bonus for the cute/spacious shop and drinks they offer (my fav is the iced honey citron tea)! I'd recommend checking out her instagram to get a sense of her style and services: @anniestylesalon read more

I've consistently had great experiences with my haircuts here. They are always very attentive and accommodating. I always request Danet.

Update: The owner reached out to me and handled the situation very professionally. They offered a full refund, which I really appreciate since I will be having someone to fix my hair and it will cost me. While my initial experience was disappointing, I respect how seriously they took my feedback and how quickly they resolved it. I was very disappointed. I only asked her, Danet, to trim my hair because it was damaged. I kept it very simple and asked her not to cut my front hair too short, just around chin length, with only two layers. I like thick, heavy layers. However, it turned out very choppy with messy layers, and my front hair was cut as short as my nose. By the time I realized, it was too late. The lengths aren't even at all. one side has more front hair than the other. She also struggled to style my hair and left it looking messy, like I had just woken up. I know it might sound like I'm overreacting, but I was really sad seeing how messy and unflattering it looked, and I tried not to cry. I always bring photos to show stylists what I'm looking for so we don't misunderstand each other, but it seemed like she didn't understand due to a language barrier. I really wish I hadn't gone to her. I know hair will grow back eventually, but my hair is part of my identity, and now I have to live with this result. I wish I had read some of the reviews about her beforehand... I'm just so sad and disappointed how it turned out and I have to pay for that. read more

Annie is AMAZING!! I am so impressed by her skill and her salon. The interior was spacious, clean, inviting, and well lit. Loved the Korean music that was playing too! The hair wash was probably the best one I've ever gotten at a hair salon- the lady washing my hair gave me a mini head massage and I wanted to melt. Annie herself is so confident with the scissors and I felt so pretty when she was done. She delivered exactly what I wanted. Pricing was also excellent for the service. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I was looking for a good hair stylist near Irvine. I heard some good things about Annie so I sent my husband and two sons to try out first. I was happy with our boys haircut and booked my haircut appointment. I was happy with the service and how Annie asked what I want few times during the cut. She also gave me some styling tips! I am happy to find someone kind and talented. Will definitely recommend :) read more

If you're considering getting a perm, I highly recommend Danet Stylist. I know nothing about hair but you can tell she goes above and beyond by how attentive she is to details when she is working on your hair. If she notices damage to your hair, she will use methods that prevent further damage and still get the outcome that will exceed your expectations. Give her the time to work her magic and she will take care of you. She has me as a customer for life. Thank you Danet Stylist! P.S. They have a little tea service where they bring you a drink of your choice and little snacks. The customer service at Annie Style Salon goes beyond just hair. read more

Annie is the best. I have been bringing my 2 sons to get their haircut and perm from her for over a year now. She does a perfect job every time. I also got a haircut from her and it was exactly how I wanted it. Everyone working at Annie Style salon are always super nice and friendly. I love the vibes and music at every visit. I recommend all my friends and family to go here. read more

10/10 would highly recommend Annie to anyone in the Irvine/Lake Forest area for men's haircuts. I've gotten an iron perm and also a regular cut and it turned out super nice. She's very quick, precise, and knows how to style many different kind of hairtypes. Making an appointment was a very easy and clean process, showing everyone's availability and different options and pricing on the website. Everyone on her staff is very sweet, nice and accomodating and the environment is very relaxing. See attached photos for the vibe. read more

ASIA is the best hairstylist ever. I rarely get haircuts coz most hairstylist do not listen. My hair was super long up to my waist with zero style. I have been wanting to visit this salon since they opened and I finally took the plunge. ASIA is very professional. I was so surprised she took the time to have a long consultation with me 20 mins maybe longer to hear what I truly wanted. No stylist ever do that and I have been everywhere. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she gave me the moon I am so pleased! She took the time and her work is flawless and I appreciate it so much coz she was fully booked. I cannot wait to get my hair color. Will be adding updated photos soon. Thank you ASIA read more

Love this place! My stylist Kai was so awesome, gave me a great cut and color at a really great price- couldn't have asked for more! And the owner, Annie was also awesome, so cute and sweet but also very knowledgeable when it comes to color. Definitely coming back! read more

Truly such a hidden gem in Lake Forest. Annie is incredibly talented, kind, and so accommodating, and it's immediately clear why she's always booked out months in advance. There's a reason you have to plan ahead to get on her schedule because it's absolutely worth it. On top of that, the studio experience is amazing: thoughtful tea and coffee service, a peaceful and calming atmosphere, and never the hectic vibe you might expect from someone so in demand. I always leave loving my hair and feeling so taken care of. Highly recommend!! read more

Came in for a mens haircut and wave perm and told them that I didn't want it too curly and showed them a photo from their own instagram page. I was scheduled with Danet but it seemed like shes not trusted to cut mens hair yet so Annie stepped in and did a pretty good job with the haircut. I was told I needed an iron perm if i didn't want it to be too curly so I trusted them and Danet was the one to do it. It was my first time getting an iron perm so I didn't know what to expect but the result was honestly terrible. It was way curlier than I was expecting and I think Annie tried to make not look as bad at the end when she was styling it. I was also charged $190 instead of the expected $120 because iron perms cost more but this was NOT explained to me originally. Its been about a month now and there hasn't been a single day where I've liked how my hair looks. The curls are outrageous and I've been washing my hair almost everyday to try to relax them but theres been minimal effect. TLDR don't get a perm from Danet, shes clearly still learning and will ruin your hair. They were very friendly but the quality of the work was seriously lacking. read more

I got my hair cut and styled by Kai. Found this place through yelp because it was close to my house and had great reviews. Kai was kind and very skilled.

Our entire family of 4 get our hair cut and sty at Annie's! Usually playing upbeat kpop or pop music but not so loud you can't have a conversation. Everyone is super friendly and they always offer a drink to guests. They are especially good with kids which is great. I haven't had one disappointing hair cut, color or perm experience here. Even the kids smile when they leave. We've had the pleasure of having Annie, Danet and most recently Asia work on our hair. I am particular about my hair because of the unique texture and thickness and I appreciate a place that understands how to work with my hair. They are far and few between to find. read more

I moved to the area recently and was forced to go to Supercuts. Between glops of dye left behind my ear, water in my ear, bad dye jobs and hidden expenses, I refused to go there again. So I started searching in my area and found this little gem. I got a brand new hair stylist and was a little nervous since she had just started but Lia did an excellent job. She was very careful about not getting dye all over my skin, put cotton in my ears while rinsing my hair to ensure no water got in there, and just look at the end result!! This will be my new regular salon from now on. read more

Annie always comes through! I've been coming here since she opened in Lake Forest and we are so lucky to have her and her crew in our city! I'm so glad to see her doing so well! I had gone bleach blonde balayage for the summer and was ready for a change! My hair is naturally frizzy and the bleach didn't help, but look at this! She nailed the cut and the color is perfect for the fall. It made my hair look a lot healthier! She works with great people and you can tell they enjoy working with each other. Love the modern vibe and her salon is always so clean! Thank you for another great cut and color, Annie! See you in a few months! read more

3 stars because I think the girls here are great. I was really debating writing this review, but I feel like it needs to be posted since honest reviews are necessary to help a business understand what their customers find important in their products and services. I will be honest, the digital perm technique here is not great. This is how my hair turned out after a hair wash (I made sure to wait 48 hours before even wetting my hair). When the stylist took out the rollers, I did freak out a little bit because the stylist left the rollers in for too long and I ended up with an afro. They ended up relaxing my afro into my normal head of hair, which I appreciate, but as you can tell from the pictures, my hair is now completely fried and unmanageable. Again, the girls here are great, I really appreciated the assistant for refilling my snacks and drinks so often, that was super sweet. read more

I got a perm about a week ago with Danet very sweet and attentive lady. I have fine short hair I wanted some kind of volume and wave. Turned out great but I had to go back because I wanted it to be more of a tight curl since my hair is fine it didn't hold the curls good enough the first time short story they got me in right away .
