First balayage -- coppery rose gold
Kimber L.

TL;DR: Brianna is AMAZING and you should absolutely book her to do anything to your hair, especially for color! I started seeing Brianna in February when I decided to take the plunge and get a "geode" style balayage done for the first time ever. I've never gotten my hair professionally dyed so I did a ton of research, but I ended up finding Brianna spontaneously when I asked the girl in front of me in line at Starbucks who did her hair because it was EXACTLY what I was looking to get done (LOL). She gave me Brianna's number to contact her and said that she's the only hairdresser that's been able to keep her hair healthy while bleaching and coloring it -- that in fact, it was healthier AFTER she started having her work on it! SOLD. I contacted Brianna and it was simple to set up a time. We had a free color consultation prior to any actual appointments, and I showed her some inspo pics of what I was looking for. She explained that since my hair had never been bleached before, it would be a good idea to start with a warmer toned balayage since a more purple/blue toned color would require a lighter bleached shade which is attained after a multiple bleaches, which would increase the damage to my hair if I decide to do that first. But, it could be done later on down the line once my hair has had time to heal from the initial bleach. Um, THANK YOU for looking out for my hair health! That's one of the biggest reasons why I love her; she really strives to keep your hair healthy while coloring/bleaching. We settled on a lightened full balayage, rose gold. She provided me with a quote for the service and didn't pressure me to sign up for an appointment. Her prices are competitive and on par with the area. Brianna gave me a really good overview of the timelines for everything being done on my hair, what to expect, how to care for it post-dye and even gave product suggestions. She was suuuuper patient with me when I asked a billion questions about the process out of curiosity, like what exactly she was using and how it did X Y and Z. I like to know how things work. She made a custom blend of colors for me and made sure to write it down for future appointments! She even was so kind as to teach me how to style my new hair cut since I'd never had a cut where I needed to style it in the morning. A+ service! I cannot stress this enough -- I CONSTANTLY am getting compliments on my color job. It's healthy, vibrant, and definitely aged well into a soft rose gold, which is exactly how I wanted it to age; Brianna even adjusted my dye recipe after the first balayage, after I gave her feedback on how the dye job aged over time. She is warm, welcoming, and so so soooo sweet. Part of me doesn't want to let people in on the secret so I can keep her for myself (tee hee) but this lady deserves to SHINE. So THANK YOU Brianna, you made my hair dreams come true! PS: check her out on Instagram: @briannabarelahair . She provides updates on their as well on her availability if it starts to become limited.

Brianna is an incredible hair stylist! I trust her completely with my hair. She really cares about her clients and makes sure that they're looking their best! Brianna completely transformed my hair, from having terrible roots of many colors to looking very glamorous. I will definitely keep coming to Brianna for all of my hair needs, she's the best! :)

Brianna is amazing! I've been following her since she was at Carlton hair salon inside of mainplace. I love that she has her independent shop now in downtown Santa Ana-it's so cute! She was the first person to color my hair EVER and I wanted a subtle ombré so she did a beautiful ombré/balayage that melted and blended perfectly! Since then we've played around with styles and she recently gave me a long bob that fits my curly hair. She is amazing every time! She listens to what you want and is genuinely passionate about her craft. I've recommended her to all of my co-workers and they all love her too! Follow her on instagram! @briannabarelahair ! Needed to add my most recent photos because I just LOVE my color!!

Thanks for making my hair look amazing for my 30th Birthday.
Nina R.

Brianna is absolutely amazing! I usually have issues with finding someone that can cut my bangs the way i like it! She gave me exactly what I wanted and asked for! Definitely would recommend her! Im definitely going back to her! Thanks Brianna for giving my hair life again!

I recently came in and got my hair done by Brianna. I was a bit nervous because I wasn't sure how she would do with ethnic hair. But she did great! She continually reassured me that the was going to take care of me. I picked a color that was lighter that I expected, and without hesitating, she fixed it and brought it down to what I really wanted. Thank you so much Brianna!

Great cut and color

Brianna is amazing! I went a few places around town to try and get some fun color in my hair. Every place I went to lacked major creativity. Not at Brianna Barela Hair! I was recommended to go by a friend and she did not disappoint! She took my basic idea and went crazy above and beyond my expectations. Brianna is amazing with her art. Go! Get something done with your hair and I guarantee you will love your look and have fun while you do it.

First time dying hair, wonderful experienced professional service

Laura was sweet and did such a good job with my hair. I requested a 90s style classic blowout and…read moremy hair came out bouncyyyy and lovely. Will be coming back!

Imagine booking Laura for your engagement blow out hair... then receiving the worst service and…read morejob? The entire session was incredibly awkward and I felt so unwelcome the entire time. It was hard trying to maintain conversations with her, and I just felt judged the entire time. I couldn't help but notice her unwelcome facial expressions when I glanced in the mirror, as well as her condescending tone. Here's one of the main moments that stuck out to me: while drying my hair, she rudely said "ummm did you paint or something?" I said no... after the long silence I asked why she would ask. She said "well it's like. White. You don't have lice but it looks like dried paint. It's probably because your scalp is so dry." Okay... thanks? After I asked her to try to take whatever it was out of my hair she ignored me and roughly brushed my hair. I can list so many other rude moments that happened within the hour that I was there. I tried not to let this experience affect my mood for MY ENGAGEMENT. My hair was NOT the same as the reference photos, not even close. It was literally just curled and not blown out or styled the way I wanted. I tried to have her brush and fix my hair after she said it was done. I was so over it and didn't want to cause a scene. I paid and left. Which by the way- my hair was flat by the time my engagement happened. My appointment was around 1:30 and my engagement was at 5. Completely flat. Thanks for nothing. I had really high hopes because of the happy and positive reviews Laura had. Disappointed to say the least. Won't come back again. Don't book unless you want the session to be silent, underwhelming, and definitely treated wrongfully.

Let me tell you a story! December 2024 -- I had my maternity shoot scheduled in Anaheim Hills and…read morewas scrambling to book hair and makeup nearby. I booked Drybar for my blowout n' styling (big mistake ) and BlowOut Parlor for makeup. I got my hair done that morning and specifically mentioned that my hair does NOT hold curls well. I was hoping they'd at least last long enough to give beach wave vibes for my evening photoshoot... nope. Not even two hours later, all the curls had completely fallen out and my hair was straight. Thank God for BlowOut Parlor. I had my makeup appointment about an hour before the shoot, and while I was there I vented about my hair disaster. Even though the salon was PACKED -- every chair occupied and every stylist busy -- they were so understanding and somehow found the time to fix my hair. Completely saved the day and my maternity photos. This week, I went back in for a little self-care and once again they did not disappoint. Carolina really listened to my concerns and made me feeling like a brand new person walking out of there. I would highly recommend her, especially for special occasions!

Carolina is my absolute go-to for flawless blowouts. I have trusted her for years and never…read moredisappoints. She worked her magic for my Birthday Blowout leaving my hair was soft, flowy and full of bounce all weekend long! It is always a warm, friendly environment at Blowout Parlor. As someone with naturally curly, often frizzy and uncontrollable hair, I am always amazed on how Carolina can transform my hair. She's not just a stylist, she's a true hair artist. Always recommend her to my friends and family.
