I've been going to this salon for years! Over the years I've had plenty of different stylists but they are all friendly, professional, and great at what they do. It's a little on the pricey side, but I enjoy coming to this salon because I know I'm getting my monies worth. They're highly trained and always have great advice. read more

Christina Martin is the best ever! 25 years under her belt and it shows. I have been from Bev Hills to Sedona Arizona and I have never had highlights done so well. Her cuts and blow outs are amazing too. She is worth every penny. Courtney - Dana Point CA read more

Love this salon! Especially Donata for color! My hair is in amazing shape after going to her for about 3 years....best color I've had yet!

I have had my hair cut at Daniel Michael by Danny Berumen for the past 12 years. I am always treated with the upmost respect and satisfied on the completion of my haircut. Danny is an artist and always has a eye for improving a style that will compliment your appearance. Highly recommend this fine saloon. read more

Daniel Michael is a 5 star salon in San Juan Capistrano. I have been seeing the one and only, KRYSTAL KING, weekly (okay, sometimes 2X a week) since 2008. Krystal has a very calming demeanor and has an expert eye for hair cutting and color. My hair is healthier/longer than ever since seeing Krystal and because of the great products she recommends. While traveling, I have been fortunate enough to have Krystal do her magic on my hair in Austin and in Vegas. If Krystal is off to Havasu/Thailand, I can trust all other hairstylists at Daniel Michael with my hair. . read more

Jacqui is the BEST cut and colorist I have ever been to! I've been going here for years and would recommend her to anyone! She helped fix my damaged hair from bleaching from a previous stylist in 2008 and since then I've become a life long client! The service is good, the salon is cozy and modern, and they products they use are amazing! From cut to color to extensions, Jacqui is a master at all of these! Thanks Jacqui for being the amazing self that you are!!!! read more

I have been a client of Christina's for over five years and I love, love,love her! She is an amazing colorist and keeps my thin short hair in style. I love the salon's new location, good vibe and always good music playing. Everyone is very professional and friendly. read more

I highly recommend Lauren! I've been getting my hair highlighted/colored for over 10 years was used to devoting 3 hours to the process. She is able to get me in and out quickly without feeling rushed. Lauren is a great stylist and a true professional and I'm constantly asked who does my color and if I have her card :) read more

Had my hair cut by Briana Cardoza and later that day a random person approached me and handed me $100, said "thank you for looking so good" and then walked away. I'll be back to visit her often. read more

Katie is the best hair stylist I have ever had. I used to switch every year or so, and I cannot see this happening. She does an amazing job--she actually LOOKS at pictures I bring in and talks to me and also offers suggestions and opinions, rather than just leaving it all up to me, which I hate. I don't want a hair dresser who doesn't listen, but they are the professionals, so I do want their input, particularly in picking shades of colors! Katie is friendly, and adorable, and smart and good company, as well. I look forward to my cuts/ color because it's fun to chat with her and catch up. She is the best best best and is going to do my wedding hair:) read more

Honestly, Daniel Michael Salon gives you what you need. Looking in the mirror and walking out of this salon feeling pretty, confident, and with an updated "do" feels amazing. All the stylists are great, however I've been a client of Regina's for years. I highly recommend Regina and this Salon. read more

I have been going to Regina Frykman for several years now and have never had a stylist more in tuned with what looks good on me. She adds fun in style and color everytime.

The atmosphere is incredible. It's a beautiful salon and is always a buzz with conversation and music. I was there yesterday and came out with a new look and I love it!! Thanks Regina!! read more

Wow. What can I say. I called at 2:00 pm on a Saturday panicked because my usual stylist canceled my appointment. I have been waiting three weeks for my second session of balayage and I couldn't wait to get my hair done! I was in Los Angeles and wouldn't get back to San Juan Capistrano until 4 PM. They graciously took me at 4 PM knowing that this will be a long appointment. I have never been to the salon before, I did not know what to expect. I walked in I was greeted so kindly and may my stylist was so accommodating and brought me back to her chair. She is such a professional. I showed her my inspiration photo and she looked and saw my hair where my stylist started my balayage. We discussed what she would be doing and she told me what you wanted to use on my hair. She is so incredibly smart and gifted. She treated me so well and the process was incredible. It took four hours to do my hair! The salon stayed open two hours longer for me!!! They are truly amazing people. I was given two mimosas, water, scalp massages and the process was never rushed. My hair came out even better that I could have ever imagined!!!! The owner even took time to dry and style my hair! Amazing! It was a breathtaking experience. Very pricey,but if you want something done right it is more than worth the price tag! I can't wait to come back, see May, and get even blonder! What a special place, I'm so lucky I found them. read more

See all

Daniel Michael salon is amazing! The staff is very sweet and attentive. Danny is an artist! He is knowledgeable and really listened to what I wanted. From my hair coloring to my cut I felt at ease that I was going to get the result I asked for. Danny offered me tips and tricks for me to style my hair in just minutes. When I left the salon I felt great that I could replicate the same style he had done at the salon at home....that's how great the cut was! You don't just go to Daniel Michael salon for a haircut, you go for an experience! oh yeah and Robki gives an amazing scalp massage! read more

I found Mucio through online reviews. I am extremely pleased with his work on my hair. I feel beautiful every time I leave the Salon. I drive up from San Diego to see him, its not as often as I would like but Mucio is worth the drive. He is brilliant with hair and color. read more

Mucio Vidales is AMAZING!!! I have been getting my haircut and styled by Mucio for about 6 years now and will continue to do so forever!! After being recommended by a friend I had Mucio do a basic cut and I have never had so many compliments on my haircut! Sadly I moved to San Diego but would make the 1hour drive up to see Mucio so that he could cut and style my hair. Every haircut was fantastic, I had to carry business cards of his with me because so many random people would stop me and ask me where I got my haircut. For one bold haircut I decided to go purple in my bangs and Mucio was able to make me look hip and sophisticated! He is amazing with cut, style, and color! For my wedding last year Mucio did my hair and people are still talking about it! Currently my mom (who also lives about 1 hr away) has begun driving up to see him, I think that is a true testament to how wonderful he is at what he does. read more

Saw Vanessa for the first time yesterday. So happy with my hair cut. Have been to many upper end salons stylists did what they wanted never what I asked . Vanessa listened offered advice and we both found what worked best . I will return read more

I walked into the salon and was greeted very nicely and was asked if I had ever been there before. I answered no, and the receptionist took down my info (name, number, address),...THEN when I told the receptionist I needed a trim, she asked me "what's your price range?" I was completely confused by the question, responded "what do you mean my price range? whatever you charge for a trim, that's what I assume to be paying"...It took me a couple seconds to register in my head that it was more of a "can you afford it" question. I didn't end up getting my trim there, even though I agreed to show up 30 mins later. Should I hold my breath for an apology? read more

Great place . Great service. Couldn't be happier . I definitely recommend this place to everyone

After experiencing 3 disastrous stylists in the 1.5 years we have been here I finally found someone who knows what they are doing - Christina. She is wonderful. Very professional, listens to your concerns, requests - knows what she is doing - kind - thoughtful and personable. She is excellent with color and cut. I am so pleased to have found her. Jennifer at the front desk is also fabulous. I was very nervous about trying someone new after such bad luck but she was so thoughtful and so nice she really made a difference in my first experience with the salon. Thank you ladies for being the professionals you are. If anyone is looking for a new stylist - salon. Look no further, this is the place. read more

LOVE Daniel Michael salon! I've been coming here for many years and have had my hair cut and colored (all shades - black, brunette and blonde). I always receive compliments on my hair's shine and health, something I attribute to the excellent product lines and stylist's education. Will never go anywhere else again. Go see Regina, especially if you're a blonde! read more

As I was looking for a new salon, I cold called the Daniel Michael Salon and they recommended Krystal and I couldn't be happier. Krystal is a great colorist and she knows her way around hair. She is very confident and has a great skill set despite that she appears to be fairly young. I had highlights, overall color and a hair-cut and she was very professional and skilled throughout all the procedures. Also, the salon is huge and is populated with lots of stations, but it wasn't crowded. The atmosphere is clean and professional. All the stations are well kept. I will definitely make my next appointment with Krystal. read more

Love this place!!! Very modern, clean, and great atmosphere. Regina (owner) is great with color (highlights) and cut. I completely trust her and let her do what she thinks would look good. I get a new, fun, hairstyle each time. My whole family sees her (including my teens as well as my mother). Her assistants are well trained. She is always on time and efficient. She runs a great business. Her staff is friendly and professional. I highly recommend this place. read more

The owner of this place hates children! My wife and I have been going to our stylist for 6 years and followed her here. We brought our 9-mo old daughter who decided to laugh and scream in excitement...not cry! The owner of the salon gave my wife a dirty look and asked her to 'control the child'. If you can't appreciate a baby's laughter, find some joy in your life! We are no longer clients of this salon and have told our friends the same. And he has a sign up that says 'We love children' which he should take down immediately due to its hypocrisy. read more

Love love love my hair!! Alyssa is awesome. She listens to her clients and gives them exactly the look they want. She gave me an amazing cut and a blow out. She is also very knowledgable with colors and highlight. Can't wait for my next visit. Alyssa is the best. read more

I really tried to like Daniel Michael Salon and give them a chance. I had a bad experience with one of the stylists and she couldn't get the color right, after the 3rd time I decided to voice this to management. I was told that color corrections are to be done by the Manager Christina. She fixed my hair and did an excellent job. I told her that I would like to start seeing her since I liked what she did with my hair. Then her work started to go downhill, I called and spoke to a manager and voiced my concerns with my last experience that I was not happy with. I had also told her that I was going to give Christina one last shot. I left very disappointed and I don't know how you can do beautiful work and then go to the complete opposite of that?! My hair was A LOT shorter than what I told her and the cut is not good and uneven! She took off too much and once its done its done! And then when it came time for me to wash and style my hair I noticed there was a lot of brassy parts on my hair! And I had a feeling she screwed up on the color because when I was at the shampoo station she was spending a lot of time trying to tone my hair and it usually doesn't take that long at all, well I was right! Also the last few times I was there my appointment felt rushed, which is not how you want to feel. You should be feeling relaxed and feel like your at least being somewhat pampered. It was more of get you in, get you out kind of a feel. I don't understand what is so hard? You do a great job as a stylist you get return business and good tips! If you can't count on the manager to do a good job consistently, then who can? VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! Go somewhere else! There are tons of salons, this isn't the only gig in town! read more

I have really difficult hair to style - thick, curly/fuzzy mid-length. I have always micro-managed my haircuts and never really been relaxed. Danny, one of the owners, is the first hairstylist that I have ever been able to relax with, at one point I even fell asleep. He takes as long as needed and is a true perfectionist. He is a brilliant cutter. I use Regina (another owner) for my color/weave/balayage and she also does an excellent job. Danny and Regina recently resurrected my girlfriend's hair - she'd previously had a terrible cut, bad color, fried, etc. completely different type of hair than mine - and they also did a great job on her. I would give the salon five stars, but I've deducted a star because I would like to see better consistency with the assistants who wash hair - most are amazing, great neck massages etc. - others not so good. This matters to me because I have such thick hair that you really have to give it a good deep wash - wouldn't necessarily be a problem for anyone with ordinary hair. I've mentioned this to the owners a few times - hopefully they'll respond. However, I must add that if you're not happy with something, they will always correct it - they do want you to be happy - Danny says that you are an walking advert for the salon, so it's important to him. read more

Ask for "Sass", she is very thorough and had great attention to the detail. Good talker and provides a comfortable interaction even for the first time customer. The establishment has good accommodations for the customers, a nice comfortable layout and a very up-scale feel. Definitely going back. read more

I have been going to Danny for 15 plus years now. He is absolutely the best! I have straight hair that is difficult to cut. No one cuts and creates a beautiful style like Danny. I have tried many many stylists over the years but always go back to Danny, even though it is a bit of a drive for me. My hair looks great when I leave the salon and every day afterwards. Plus he is a nice easy going guy.... read more

Mucio is the one stylist who actually LISTENS and gives you what you want. He is so professional and so amazing at what he does! The compliments I get on my hair are never ending, and it's all thanks to Mucio!!! read more

Went here for a simple men's haircut and am very happy with their work. I did not have a specific hairdresser going in but I do now! I got set up with Briana and am looking forward to going in for her again she was very friendly and professional read more

I love this salon and have been going here for years! Regina, Danny, Christina and the whole staff are terrific. The salon is exceptional!

I love this salon! I found Shay Duffin here - she gave me the best hair cut I have ever had. She asked a lot of questions and presented options and ideas to get the look I wanted. It has been 7 weeks and the cut has lasted amazingly- didn't even need my bangs trimmed. Lots of compliments - also went back for color and same thing - amazing results. I am hooked! read more

Just wanted to write an outstanding review about Sarah Dyer. Aside from the fact that she came highly recommended by a friend and that Allure magazine has listed her wonderful hair color talents in this month's issue, I need to say something about how great my blond weave just came out and there is no evidence of any dark roots. She takes the foils right to the scalp and does an excellent job! Thank you, Sarah! read more

I have had 2 wonderful experiences at Daniel Michael Salon, both with Jacqui. I haven't had my hair (naturally black) highlighted for many years, but finally decided to give it another try. I looked online and decided to try this salon because of other reviews specifically about Jacqui Veta. She knows color so well. She really listened to me and I absolutely love the way she highlighted my hair. It still feels healthy and best of all, she managed to achieve the best highlights I've ever had. I'm so glad I found her! And I'm completely willing to drive the longer distances for her. read more

Love this salon, very nice. Nicolle Gudino is the best! I was platinum blonde and she colored my hair back to a natural darker blonde. I have seen other girls who have gone from platinum to darker and it never looks good or natural so I was kind of nervous. But she did an AMAZING job and I was very happy with the results. read more
