Jonnie and Abel are so great. They did exactly what I asked and even better. I feel beatiful! I would highly recommend them. Not only are they professional and very skilled, they are super friendly, fun and have amazing experience . I can't wait to see them again. read more

Blanc Noir Hairdressing - Hair Salons Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

My hair was a mess after pregnancy / baby girl arriving - We're talking extremely dry, tangly and overall just super sad! I was honestly SO nervous about getting it back on track after such a long break away from hair appointments, but Jonnie and Abel got it right back on track in just one session (I'm sorry for how bad I let it get, guys)! I'm honestly so happy to be back with these guys! After leaving Europe for NYC and now spending a lot of my time here in OC, I haven't even gotten close to finding ANY stylists in OC that are able to create such gorgeous, natural highlights or blending them in as well as Jonnie just did! Abel finished up with a perfect hair cut and I couldn't be happier! If you're looking for high standards and true hair magic, I would recommend making an appointment with these two! read more

This happened a few years ago, 2021, just getting the strength to post now. My hair melted off so bad. It was obvious something bad had happened because my stylist walked away and suddenly someone I'd never met took over, I think the owner. They gave me a free conditioning treatment, didn't know why ar the time. They charged me and I paid in full with a tip, my stupid over-politeness. Didn't say a word. And when I got home noticed half my hair was gone, especially the front. It was so short and thin because layers of it was missing. Never went back there again. My hair is getting better and better now. My stylist name I think was Ken. Not sure if he still works there, he always wore a beanie. I'll update if I get the correct name. read more

My experience at this salon was phenomenal compared to other places I've gone for my hair. This was my first time experimenting with red and Jess did a beautiful job. She talked me through the entire process and answered all my questions. If anyone is looking for a professional stylist with a great attitude, Jess is your girl! The entire staff was friendly and welcoming, I would recommend this salon to anyone. (They also have very safe precautions regarding covid. Everyone wears a mask the entire time, your temperature is taken when you first arrive, and hand sanitizer is plentiful) read more

Blanc Noir Hairdressing - Before vs After - Hair Salons Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Blanc Noir and Dennis saved me. Seriously. I had a horrible experience with another salon (see review!) and after color correction my hair was a disaster. I called and they were able to fit me in the next day, thankfully. I was covering my hair in a ballcap - that's how bad it was. Dennis was lovely - I really enjoyed working with him, he knew what he was doing, and given what he had to work with he did a fantastic job. He even fixed bangs that had been cut way too short. It was worth the $550 (with tip) to feel good again. My only thing I would improve is that, while the assistant was nice, he pulled foils out pretty roughly and his blow out was kind of painful and not amazing - I was happy when Dennis took over and finished styling my hair because it looked beautiful when I left. I really appreciated Dennis taking great care of me - he was sincere and understood how I felt and I enjoyed talking with him. He made me feel comfortable and like I was in good hands. I feel lucky I was able to get in on short notice. I will be back. read more

Yes . Just , yes . I have been coming to Blanc Noir since they were located in Costa Mesa for about , and I cannot day enough good things about them . Here is a rundown of what to expect from Blanc Noir ... Friendly front desk that actually greets you when you walk in and offers you a drink from a large variety of things ( I chose grapefruit Perrier yesterday , followed by bottled water since I was getting a lot done yesterday ) . Jonnie is a literal hair color wizard . I've seen him do beautiful darks , icy blondes, sun kissed blondes , reds , there is literally nothing he can't accomplish wIth color . He travels around teaching color because people trust his expertise as much as I do with my very long hair ( he has never fried it, even though I go very light blonde ). He's not only amazing, but so much fun to talk to! Abel is one of the most talented hair stylists ( cutters) I've seen . He has naturally curly hair , so he is not only good at cutting straight hair (which I've seen him do time and time again while getting my color done ), but he can handle men's cuts with ease and dIes the entire thing expertly without clippers , he has done my long hair and never cut my length shorter than I wanted , etc . He does a fabulous job with cuts, blow outs , styling, anD Brazilian blow outs . He's also incredibly sweet like Jonnie . Kelli sits next to Jonnie, so every time I get my hair color done , I see her incredible hair colors. If Jonnie wasn't available , I would 150% trust her with my hair . She has turned out beautiful color after beautiful color , and is also incredibly sweet. We were both pregnant at the same time , so I've seen her over the years, and she still kills the color into motherhood ! Liz has done a Brazilian blow out for me before , and she did a fabulous job . She also did a gorgeous , glamorous shoulder length cut on an older lady yesterday that was freakin stunning. Chloe has gone from receptionist to very confident colorist . I've watched her over the years , and am blown away by her confidence, professionalism , and skill. She did a blonde yesterday that was drop dead gorgeous . She looks like she's been doing hair for 20 years. Yesterday , I had the pleasure of meeting Cara. She is not only a total sweetheart, but she turned my wreck of hair into something I could really feel confident in. I generally am only able to get my hair done for special occasions, and so it had been a LONG time since I was in last. My hair was neglected , grown out , dry and frizzy . Cara did it all. She did a full highlight , Brazilian blow out and cut. She listened to what I wanted , and really delivered . She was pleasant , professional , made sure I had a drink if I needed one, gave a great shampoo massage, and had me leaving feeling stunning . She is a perfectionist and rechecks everything she does to make sure your hair comes out perfect . I don't think there is a single bad banana in this bunch . You are in good hands if you come here . They are not cheap, but you won't leave the salon with hair that will take you a year or two of recovery. You get what you pay for ! I personally like to get my hair done less often by a team that I know will deliver rather than chance it at a cheaper salon where I might have to cut years worth of growth off due to my hair getting overprocessed or something. read more

Today was my first time at this salon and Cynthia absolutely NAILED IT! I'm in love with my hair! She got the exact blonde I wanted and have been wanting for years! She's also one of the most professional stylists I've ever had. My whole experience was amazing and I couldn't be happier read more

Shout out to Dennis!!!! OMG he's amazing. My hair needed so much TLC after a year in the pandemic and he just knocked it out of the ball park. I've never received so many compliments in my life. Dennis took the time to listen to what I wanted and did his magic. It came so naturally for him because not only is he an expert on color and highlights but also confident and rightfully so might I add. His talent is beyond words. Had a root touch up, highlights, and a great cut and blowout. Dennis is the all time super star. Also, the salon is top notch! The staff is amazing and friendly, they kept the place looking clean like a million bucks. This is my go to hair salon going forward, no other can compare. Shout out to Blanc Noir, owners, and the staff, y'all rock!!! read more

It has been over two years since my initial review, and Blanc Noir is still the best hair salon in Orange County. Their Covid-19 setup is impeccable, complete with plexiglass partitions, enforced social distancing, and even individually wrapped robes. All of the staff wear masks at all times, and clients are expected to do the same. Liz is a visionary with great taste. I strayed from her once and deeply regretted it. I came crawling back with a bad haircut, which she managed to fix, without taking off much more length. Today, she transformed me from quarantine gremlin to perfect princess with long, expertly executed layers. She has made invaluable recommendations regarding hair products and styling tools as well. I got color done by Cara today as well, and was blown away at her ability to not only read my mind (I struggle to express my hair goals), and make me look like a better version of my natural self. Her use of gloss added beautiful shine and dimension to my hair. Be sure you have plans after your appointment, because you will walk out of this salon looking incredible. read more

Leaving a second review for this salon, but this time I had the wonderful opportunity of booking with Andrea! She slayed my hair! I have so much dimension and the cut is fantastic. Im obsessed!

I'm always nervous to try new hair salons because I'm very particular about how my hair looks. When I got my hair done here for the first time Jess made me feel super comfortable!! She was absolutely amazing and I've had my hair done by her twice!! The first time I got highlights and recently she dyed my hair completely blonde. I'm completely in love with my new hair!!! Not only does my hair look amazing, but Jess made the time fly!!!! I highly recommend getting your hair done by Jess!! She's not only incredibly talented, but she's also very sweet and will make your experience at the salon amazing!! Definitely going back!!! read more

One of the best they say. But bad management and customer service. I had an appointment and they did not register on system, I get there besides I live far, and they are like " sorry I see the conversation but your not in the system" . Such of waste of peoples time . Not so great after all read more

Abel! The best! This guy has amazing talent and attention to detail. I found him friendly attentive and creative. Abel will be my go to guy for cut on the regular. The salon was clean and beautiful. Had nice decor and flow.. I couldn't be happier to find my new place for hair maintenance. Thank you Abel and Blanc Noir!! read more

I got the Brazilian Blowout here and wow my hair was AMAZING afterwards. This was my first time doing a BB and I wanted to go somewhere that would do it right the first time. The treatment and service itself was FIVE stars. The atmosphere is very posh and the receptionist was very kind and accommodating to booking the appointment. My only critique is the price of the service. Maybe I'm wrong but I think I overpaid for the service because there are many other salons in OC that do it for half the price. It would have been nice if they offered a discount for new clients. My BB costed $350 + additional $100+ for the aftercare products and tip. Almost spent $500 on my hair. Ouch! But no regrets! Conclusion: go here if you can afford the bougie life, because they do an amazing job! :) read more

Liz was an absolute dream and life saver at the same time!! I needed a hairdresser for my vow renewal and wow did she deliver!! Blanc handled the transaction flawlessly and without hiccup, Liz showed up on time and my updo was everything I dreamed of!! Its nice to know that incredible customer service is not dead completely and we are so grateful to have met Liz and have since become great friends!! She is my go to hairdresser in SoCal, if you want an amazing experience with someone who LISTENS and delivers exactly what you expect, CALL LIZ!!! read more

I have been getting my hair cut at Blanc Noir by Liz since September 2017 and I know this because I have been happy with my hair since September 2017! When I started coming to Blanc Noir, I was desperate for a way to ditch my straightening iron. My hair was always too heavy and poorly cut, so I could never enjoy my natural waves. I'd just flatten my hair to oblivion to be done with it. Even after my very first cut with Liz, I was able to let my hair air dry and actually like it for once. Over the years she has helped me experiment with new styles, like the undercut that has changed my life by literally taking weight off my shoulders and making my daily routine more manageable! Lately, I've been growing my hair out and I expected the awkward lengths to look terrible (from past experiences), but with each cut Liz finds a cute new way to frame my face and to add layers that complement my natural waves. Also, her product recommendations have been ON POINT because she takes into consideration my hair type, my styling habits (or lack thereof), and the changes she notices in my hair from cut to cut. I love love love Liz. She's the absolute sweetest and she really takes care of me. I used to not bother taking care of my hair because it never felt like I could make a difference, but not only has she helped me love my hair with these beautiful cuts, but she's also taught me how to style my hair for special occasions. My goal was to find a way to love my hair without having to spend so much time on it. I'm so there now AND I also have fun trying out Liz's styling tips. She's so knowledgeable and she is always ready to share her wisdom. read more

I go to Jonathan who took my hair (which was previously platinum then dyed super dark so we all know that creates problems) and took me very slowly back to blonde. I was patient and the whole process took about a year because we didn't want my hair to break off by lightening it too quickly. He's basically the master, teaches balayage for L'oreal and works my natural color in so my roots grow out looking sometimes better than when I first get my hair done which says a lot. I used to suffer from skunky roots when I was a "highlighted blonde" before which drove me insane. Confident in saying that my hair looked really natural and pretty every step of the transition from dark dark brown to blonde. Also, their blowouts are INCREDIBLE. I actually can't go back to crap blowdry bars now because their work is so shoddy in comparison to the beautiful blowout I get here every time. You get what you pay for. read more

Was in the brassy orange brown hair phase which I understand is a process. What I didnt understand is why my hair looked abandoned mid process after three trips to two different salons, and almost a grand spent. Thankfully, Blanc Noir can back up their 5 stars. Cynthia and Cara did an awesome job. Cynthia nailed the coloring and Cara cut/trimmed my hair just right. Very happy with the results and will return for any touch ups. read more

I am a new client to the salon, and have been very pleased with the ambience of Blanc Noir. Modern and trendy vibes, thoughtful charging cords at the color processing station, and wine and water offerings, all add to a lovely day at the salon. I commute to Newport from Los Angeles specifically for my stylist, Sierra. I've found her cut/color/style work to be unmatched and am always so happy with the look and health of my hair. read more

Never disappoints. My colorist, Jonnie, is amazing. He encourages me to value my hair and always knows what I want. Every time he colors my hair, he gives me tips and advice about how to maintain my color shiny, healthy and most important long-lasting VOLUME. Yey. Thank you to Abel, who also rocks out my haircut. Love and love that he makes it look perfect. Very happy that Jonnie and Abel continue to master the beauty of hair, whether it be classic or modern. You made my day! read more

I am so happy with my hair! Cynthia is so gifted and skilled in what she does. She is also so kind! My friend raves about this salon and I am so glad I finally went. I am so in love with how it turned out and how she blended the colors. There is both honey color and a variation of red tones and the colors look so nice together. I showed her a photo to go off of and also asked for some insight and it looks like the photo but honestly even better! I will definitely be seeing Cynthia again for the upkeep and to possibly experiment with new colors In the future too. I love what she did so much though that I definitely want to be in this color scheme for a long time. I wanted something low maintenance too and this is perfect. Cynthia is now my go to person for coloring my hair !! Love the salon, the vibe and the people ! Everyone is so nice !! read more

Best color expert in Southern California.... Now that fall is here, I decided to go brunette and say good-bye to red. Best decision, by far and goes well with my amazing hair cut. Hello Bangs! Thank you Abel. Jonnie is talented and has a vision of what he is going to do and I am very happy that he shares it with me. Trusting somebody to do my hair is very important to me and he has been the only colorist that gets it right the first time, because who likes hanging out at a salon over two/three hours just because, no thanks. I totally recommend him, believe me you will not be dissapointed. Thank you. read more

I was referred to this salon by a friend of mine. So I decided to give it a try since I had gone to a different salon to get ombre done to my hair about 1 month ago. Well needless to say, the other salon didn't color my hair the way I wanted them to. Since I have dark brown hair, the tips turned out really orange. The ombre look was too drastic. I wanted something more subtle. I came in to see Kristy Nguyen and she corrected the color with some toner and gave me a trim. I loved the fact that she was really attentive to my needs. She asked all of the important questions so that I can get the look that I want. And when she was done, I was more than impressed with the outcome. Kristy did an excellent job. So good that I booked her to style my hair for a wedding that I will be attending the following week. The salon itself has a really friendly staff and it's decor is super cute. I love the black and white theme. It's pretty chic. read more

Blanc Noir Hairdressing - Soft updo by Kristy - Hair Salons Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I've been going to Blanc Noir after trying out a few other salons since I moved to southern CA 3 years ago. I book an appointment with Liz every time and I absolutely love her! I have fine blonde hair that can be difficult to work with and she always makes me look AND feel beautiful. She's incredibly sweet but also consistently does a great job--I've never had a bad experience with her, and I've never been happier with my hair. As somebody that always used to avoid haircuts for fear of the outcome, I now can't wait until my next cut with Liz. She also never seems rushed, and takes her time to make sure I love it. She'll always offer to style it after and patiently explains to me how she did it. Separately, the salon itself is so nice! I feel so ~luxurious~ every time, but the staff is also so down to earth and welcoming. Perfect combination. read more

I originally saw them on yelp, they had high ratings and made an appointment to go in to get a haircut and hair dyed...Apparently the hairdresser scheduled me on a Monday at noon when they were closed. I went all the way there at noon found out they were closed. I left a message on their voice mail and no return call message on Tuesday to reschedule or an apology. I was all excited, but did call another salon that took me the same day and rhey did a great job. I am sure they do a great job in hair however their customer service or communication skills with their customers is lacking consideration for other people's time. read more

I've been to blanc noir a couple times for my haircut and I would definitely recommend! The salon is super nice and felt safe with their covid procedures in place. Liz was my stylist today and I'm already so excited for my next haircut. She did an incredible job and she really is a perfectionist with hair. She explained exactly what she was doing with my hair each step of the way which I really appreciated, something I haven't experienced with most hair stylists in the past. Thank you Liz! read more

Everywhere I go, people ask me about my hair :D This has never happened before. Honestly, I've never been completely satisfied with my hair until I went here. The team at Blanc Noir is truly a professional team. They are so kind and easy to talk to. Jonathan really listened to me and what I wanted.

I'm new to the area and saw all the great reviews here so decided to check it out and booked an appointment online. First thing to note - parking is free and easy! The salon is very pretty and I was greeted with a glass of champagne. Sierra was my hairstylist and she did a wonderful job. She took the time to listen to what I wanted and asked a lot of great questions about my hair routine so that we were both on the same page. She fixed some of my crazy choppy layers I had from a previous bad haircut and did a really great job of blending them out beautifully, framing my face and guiding me through all the products she was using. My hair felt lighter, bouncier and had that bombshell blowout look by the time she was finished. Walked out feeling like a million bucks and some exciting new products to try. Will definitely be back! read more

What an amazing staff and beautiful location. Cannot say enough about Chloe for coloring your hair. If you are looking for somebody to get it right the first time she is your girl! I absolutely love my hair, the color and I get compliments all the time. Great atmosphere, no drama like some salons, and excellent location. They are in Newport Peninsula right by the Starbucks. read more

Absolutely LOVE the new location. Great aesthetic, great vibe, and upbeat music to keep the shop poppin. Love the whole team, especially Darren. Darren has been cutting my hair for close to 5 years, and I'd follow him anywhere. Which now takes me to Ty Alexander 2. TA2 is getting a fantastic hairstylist with Darren. I will surely miss everyone at Blanc Noir, but I'll be back through to pick up some Kevin.Murphy. 5 STARS for BN! read more

Hands down to Allie for her color expertise.she is not only professional and nice also so easy going and social. I was struggling for a long time to find a right color specialist to settle my hair color in a right path. At the first consultation she just touched up my hair to presents acceptable and started up my hair treatments with L'Oréal products which recommend by her . On the second session I did more progress on my hair color balance and it looked more healthier. However her time was limited to cover the full service because I have plenty hair and it really needs time to make it perfect. Since my last appointment it was very difficult to hold on her schedule because she is mostly booked . But I definitely recommend her . read more

I came here for my first balayage with Cynthia back in August 2015. I have had dark brown hair all my life so the fact that I even made an appointment here was a huge step for me lol. I was too afraid to have anything drastic done so I asked for a subtle balayage and I loved it. I came back last month and went even lighter. Abel gave me a cut and style. And again, I loved it just as much as I did the first time. The people here know what they're doing so you'll be in good hands. read more
