I walked in for a consultation to redo my roots from a balayage (from another salon). Ana was able to take me in same day and was very thoughtful and honest. I love how she checked in with me throughout the process. I love my new hair and will definitely return in the future read more

This was my first time checking out Brian Guy Studio. All that to say, Brian is an absolute hair wizard. The staff were quick, friendly, and did an excellent job. I was in and out in 30 minutes for my haircut! Brian cut my hair and was amazingly knowledgeable and fast. I look forward to returning for my haircare needs :) read more

I've been going to Anna for several years now and I am always impressed with the color and cut :) i prefer the natural blonde look. Anna not only achieves the perfect color every-time but her technique also ensures that it grows out naturally. My hair health is also pretty good! My hair is naturally thin but it has been super soft and I have little to no bleach damage. She is also super quick! My hair is done is about 1-1.5 hrs every time. I don't have a lot of photos to show how well it grows out, but I included the best one if have on hand. My hair is naturally mousy brown, so if you are looking to go a natural blonde, I highly highly recommend Anna! read more

Came here for the 2nd time to get a touch up and trim of my balayage. Ryan was fast yet again (just about 2 hours). It was a good price at $210 for the quality and speed. He was able to blend the colors to make it smooth and less harsh. I found my go-to spot for my balayage! read more

I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Brian! As a graduate student constantly juggling deadlines and responsibilities, I walked into the salon needing a fresh look but with no time to figure out exactly what I wanted. Brian completely saved the day. From the moment I sat in his chair, his charisma and warm energy made me feel at ease. He listened carefully to my lifestyle and needs, then confidently suggested a balayage and cut that would suit me perfectly--and he was spot on! His eye for color and style is unmatched, and he truly has a gift for knowing what works best for his clients. The result? A stunning balayage that looks natural yet sophisticated, and a cut that frames my face beautifully without requiring endless maintenance. It's like he knew exactly what I needed before I did! I've received so many compliments, and I feel more polished and put-together during my hectic days. Brian's talent, professionalism, and vibrant personality make him a standout stylist. If you're looking for someone who can deliver flawless results while keeping you entertained with great conversation, Brian is your guy. Thank you for making me feel like the best version of myself, even on a time crunch! I'll definitely be back as I have gone to him since I first met him during the height of Covid. I have recommended all my friends to go to his salon and they have all positive things to say about all that work there. Highly recommend! read more

This was my first time dyeing my hair and Ana did an outstanding job. I told her I wanted to have a more natural look and she absolutely came through for me. Her prices are very fair but the service and quality is still great, which is definitely hard to find nowadays! I would definitely recommend and plan to return myself even though I live more than 1 hour away. read more

I should have done more research before coloring my hair but my previous hair salon just bleached my entire hair for my request for natural soft brown hair for my upcoming wedding. My hair just turned orange and left harsh contrasting roots to my naturally dark hair. I wanted to cry... I called and messaged Ryan and sent him reference photos and he was quick to respond to my messages and fixed my hair! I know it is difficult to fix my already bleached hair but he executed what I originally wanted all within less than 2 hours. He blended my roots so well and darkened the rest of my hair looking so healthy. Price was so reasonable as well. I am so so thankful highly recommend! I am planning to come back a week before my wedding for a quick touch up. read more

Please don't overbook and cut 3 people at one time. A month ago i came before my birthday and asked for a trim. You said you were available yet i was in line with two other ladies and you spent less than 5 min on my hair, charged me 60 amd my hair was crooked. I mentioned that tou were going too fast and you said that's the way you cut. Well i walked out disappointed and afraid to come back for you to fix it. read more

I'm a first time client and I am incredibly impressed by Brian. Him and his staff are friendly, efficient, and very talented.

Brian Guy Studio 14 - Hair color by Brian - Hair Stylists Near Me - Irvine, California

Wow...this place is small but amazing. I have tried a lot of different hair salons in Orange County and am always weary about damage to my hair, style preference, and expectations with color - usually I haven't felt like a salon is able to deliver what I want in all 3 departments. Ana did my hair and she explained EVERYTHING to me which is a plus. She talked to me and got to know my preferences, lifestyle, and what look I was going for. Then, she made recommendations while considering my skin tone, shape of my face, and how much maintenance I'm able to do in a daily basis. This was 5-star service. Also, I felt like the service was very genuine and she was very honest about how often I would need a touch up. I'll definitely be coming back. Additionally, I usually leave a salon feeling like there was heat/chemical warfare on my head. Here, they care about the health of your hair and definitely use high quality and gentle ingredients to help preserve your hair. I expected to pay way more for what I got and the pricing is very decent. Worth a try if you haven't had good experiences with a hair stylist/salon. read more

I had my hair done by Brian since I wanted a new look. I showed him my photo and he told me how it won't look the same because every hair is different and yet he made my hair look amazing. Since it was my first time going here I didn't know what to expect but Brian did an awesome job. The people were very nice and the workers were talking about how healthy and nice my hair is. read more

Brian Guy Studio 14 - Haircut - Hair Stylists Near Me - Irvine, California

I'm planning on getting another haircut just to compromise this one which should say a lot about my disappointment. If you are just getting a haircut, I wouldn't recommend going here. Not only was the actual haircut around 10 minutes but I was dissatisfied with the results. I did not feel truly welcome either. They did not listen to what I wanted. As a first timer, I was really looking forward to this and I usually don't write results but it was honestly extremely upsetting paying $65 for a haircut that didn't change anything that I wanted. read more

Really amazing haircut, asked questions while doing haircut and cut my hair exactly how i asked

Came back to Ana for my annual balayage and haircut (got a maintenance trim in between in Westminster) and I swear she gets better every time! As usual we budgeted 2 hours and her timing is impeccable. As soon as I arrived she took my hair and asked if I wanted the same (as the highlights growing out from last year) or to go lighter. I told her I wanted to look younger so we went with the second option and she slayed! Her assistant was super helpful as well, helping wash the color out with a nice scalp massage, and helping Ana blow dry and curl my hair at the end. When we were finished I looked ready for a night out on the town! Pricing was reasonable as usual and even less than last time since I only needed a trim :) read more

Customer service: I am so excited to see how this place has expanded by one room. They have such great ratings, provide such great service, are so personable, and extremely hard working. It is a family owned business, and it seems like they welcome their clients and adopt them into their own family. I love how lively they are and how they seem to show a genuine interest w their clients. Hair: I went to Anna and Jasmine this time, and they seemed to show meticulousness w the way they do balayage. Anna explained her recommendations, and at the same time, listened to what I wanted so it felt very collaborative. read more

So happy I found Brian on Yelp last minute. Brian's salon is located inside of SOLA salons closest to the BevMo side of the plaza. The SOLA building has a bunch of small studios, Brian's is located towards the back in a corner suite. He is speedy, but efficient. I walked right up & we got straight to work. He listened to what I was looking for in a haircut & made some suggestions checking along the way how I was liking things. He also walked me thru how he was cutting my hair wet/dry & what the outcome will be. It was the fastest haircut of my life (it's funny his team gave me surgery vibes, two of his staff were handing him blow dryers or getting his tools ready, but they have a system that works very well for them.) In less than an hour I had my hair cut & styled & for a very affordable price, about $70 with a $20 tip. I have pretty long hair & kept majority of the length with some layers. Super happy I found Brian on Yelp, I'll definitely be back! I also booked him on pretty short notice. read more

Update (2nd time visiting 7-8 months later): Returning customer! Decided to go shorter and touch up my roots. I asked for a more natural and lighter color and Ana delivered!! Excited to come back for a third time in a few months! read more

Second time here, both times with Ana! She is a super sweet lady who did an amazing job giving me more of a handpainted balayage look rather than a streaky highlights look (both were fine!) this time, and the colors are now a lot more blended--more ash brown than ash blonde. The toning, root touchup, and cut took just around 3 hours, and the price was very reasonable. They're very busy (with a lot of repeat clients--a testament to the quality of their work!) so definitely book ahead of time. Definitely going to Ana next time I need my color done again -- probably not for another six months this time. :) read more

Been going here for 2ish years. Love Ryan Duong, he's so talented and does natural balayage so beautifully. If you are a dark tan skinned person who wants highlights, Ryan is your guy. Seriously he's so meticulous and focused on his craft, love the results every time! read more

I got my haircut and root touch-up done by Brian, and he did an amazing job! I absolutely love my haircut.

I needed to get rid of the brassy baby lights that had grown out halfway down my head. I wanted something new and fresh and healthy looking. Brian was realistic about which colors would last longer without fading the dark new color back into the brassy shade again given that my hair was bleached multiple times before. Love the new color and the face framing layers!! Price was also very reasonable and he got the job done pretty fast too. Thank you Brian!! I will be back again the next time I need a cut or color~ read more

After my last salon butchered my hair and turned it orange, Brian did an amazing job and saved it! I love how the balayage turned out. He darkened my hair while still giving me the Carmel highlights I was looking for and I didn't need to get my roots touched up either. He blended my grays in with the highlights to make it look more natural. read more

Bryan is absolutely amazing!! I came in to get my hair colored for the first time in many many years, and he really took the time to think about what would look best with my skin tone, which ended up being slightly different (in great way) from the inspiration pictures that I sent him. He also thinks a lot about hair health and how to do a hairstyle which is low maintenance and does not require extra products, frequent trips to the salon, etc. All this for a very reasonable price and very efficient service - I'll definitely be a repeat customer. read more
