Omgosh, NO, thank you, my daughter and I went in today for a walk-in because it had good reviews and not too far away. My cut that i wanted: medium shag with a lot of texture. My daughter has curly hair and wanted a shorter cut with longer on top for curls. We did not get either. My hair cut; when asked for the length I showed her, but instead of marking and then verifying before she cut...she cut before verifying and cut too much, by a good inch. Also, when i got home i noticed that not only did she cut it too short but the rest of the hair its all done in obvious separate lengths. Nothing is blended or even. I could do a better job at home with utility scissors. I dont wven think she knows what shes doing. I knew that i should have walked out when i saw how much she had cut initially. As for my daughter...the woman who did hers evidently gave her a "boy" cut because it is OBVIOUSLY way shorter than the picture, and when my daughter gave her input she said that the hairdresser said was "the back has to be shorter." Have you ever had a bad haircut/do' that made you feel horrified and yes, probably "ugly"? I know I have and now so does my daughter because that's all she said on the drive home. Hair grows, and lessons are learned. Finding the "right" hairdresser is an intimate job and requires trust and the ability to listen and understand each other. Which we didnt feel here This isn't the first "bad" cut we've received, but for my daughter, it's definitely the worst. Edit: no, it's a worst cut by both of us. They did refund the $$ for her cut and did look remorseful, but giving me an excuse for ignoring personal input doesnt help. Edit: i want a FULL refund after seeing what they did to my hair. I do NOT recommend this "salon" the females who did our hair were older females with longer brown hair (Auburn) not the younger woman with black hair. Absolutely the worst! Edit: no full refund. They send to come back, but no thanks. If they can't take simple directions and hut my hair at least straight then no way am I ever going back. read more

Great experience at Friendly Hair Salon! I had waist-long hair and was ready for a significant cut to take off the literal (and figurative) weight. Called today (a Monday) and was able to get in later this afternoon. The stylist Phi Phi and I talked through the plan, and agreed to have her cut about 12" off and add soft layers near the ends. Turned out beautifully! It was $65 for a wash, cut, and style for my long hair. Very happy with the results, and will certainly be back! read more

Thanks to Yelp reviews I think I found my new go-to salon. Came in for a cut and left very happy with the result. Made an appointment for 2pm and was taken about 10 minutes later after Phi Phi finished with another cut before me. I had just washed my hair the night before so didn't need a wash. I told her I wanted to keep the length as much as possible and add in some long layers. She agreed that it would give my hair more body and was very clear and how much she was going to take off. She asked if I wanted to blow dry my hair afterwards and I said sure. After the cut, she dried and styled my hair giving it some nice curls at the ends, which I really liked. I normally am just a wash-and-go girl (throwing in a little styling product just to give my somewhat wavy hair some direction). I loved the way my hair looked after she was done. I checked out the back in the mirror when she was finished and I really liked how much lighter and fuller my hair looked with the layers. Phi Phi was very sweet and I appreciated not being up-sold while on the chair (the last place I went to I had been pitched on highlights, then dye, then eyebrows, then manicure... it was exhausting). It's nice to come in for a haircut and get just that, and a good one at that! Total was $50 and I left $10 tip. I will definitely be back for my next cut and will probably bring my son as well (Phi Phi has finished cutting two young boys' hair before me and I thought they came out well). read more

Phi Phi saved my hair and my confidence! I'm really picky with my hair, and Phi Phi does such an amazing job at an affordable price. I've gotten my hair done in San Francisco and LA, so I know good work when I see it. Before I found Phi Phi, I had a terrible experience at a different salon in Irvine that left me needing about a year and a half to grow my hair back. I really needed to find a good hairstylist who could cut my hair so I could go back to feeling confident and good about myself. Phi Phi did exactly that without breaking the bank. I like my hair with good layering so that when I use my Dyson to blow-dry, it looks amazing. She nails it every time. My advice: be specific about what you want when you get to the salon, and she'll deliver. I'm really thankful I found her - she's a gem! read more

There is plenty of parking and the salon is very clean and welcoming. I called on Monday and Phi phi was able to fit me in. They do take walk-ins on certain days as well. Phi phi did my hair and she asked me all the questions and I told her I definitely trust her. Also if she recommends anything. She shampooed and conditioned my hair and cut off all my dead ends and blow dried it. My hair feels amazing! I love it! read more

I have to express Helene gave me THE WORST haircut in my entire Life. I showed her 2 pictures which represent how I wanted my hair cut... I would even say trimmed. She said that she understood and with multiple references to how I wanted my hair cut. She still failed to listen to me( the customer). And said after she cut my hair the way she wanted to; that "She Forgot" WTF. I would not recommend this place at all, if I can give a zero rating I would. Horrible experience.

Update 10/18/22 After all these years, I still highly recommend Phi Phi! My a-line lob from my last haircut in February has overgrown into a shapeless and uneven pattern. I was sporting that for long enough. Phi Phi was able to fit me in last minute today before closing. 30 minutes in Phi Phi's chair and voila! The results speak for themselves. Definitely ask for Phi Phi! She's super attentive and very sweet. Plus she knows her craft. read more

You know when you find a place and want to keep it to yourself? This is that hair salon. I usually have long hair down to my mid-back and need a periodic big trim, with long layers. Simple, no fuss or shampoo. But I was having trouble finding a place in OC that did no fuss Asian hair for reasonable prices, because everyone and their mother overcharged for simple cuts even though they made plenty of money on the dye jobs and perms. I digress. They gave me a just-below the shoulder cut with long layers, as requested, and I loved it. After 3 years of dealing with mediocre cuts for high prices (looking at you Bishop's; $55 for a choppy-ass job?!), I finally found the one. I was charged $35 bucks and gave my salonist a $10 cuz she was aaaaaawesome. read more

I just had my hair done by Phi Phi and I can not be happier with both cut and color, and overall experience. Phi Phi is very professional, friendly, and most important, he listened to what I wanted. She gives you very honest opinion about the style you choose and gives professional suggestion regarding the hair color too. My haircut and highlight looked exactly like I asked her to do it. Great salon, very clean and friendly staff. All wear mask. I saw the sign on the mirror" I was vaccinated" They were sanitizing between customers. Prices did not change after Covid. If you need a haircut, color or highlight just make an appointment with Phi Phi. read more

I tried this salon based on the good reviews. Should have paid more attention to the bad reviews instead. The older lady who cut my hair sure seemed friendly but don't let her smile fool you. It is merely to mask her inability to communicate with you. She nods in agreement when you show her a picture of the cut you like and as you try to explain in detail, but she truly has no idea what you just said. And worse, she DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO CUT HAIR PROPERLY. I simply wanted a a bob with side swept bangs and walked out of there looking like Lord Farquaad. @Phil K -- There was no attempt to rectify anything. You suggested using hair product to make the bangs sweep to the side. Ridiculous! Oh well, lesson learned. FAIR WARNING to those wanting to shorten their hair, find another salon! read more

Ive gone to this place annually for about 4 years now. I usually go right before the lunar new year and the lady who cuts my hair is really nice. She's also quiet so I like her a lot. I don't remember how much my haircuts were in the past but I think they were $35. Today I opted for shampoo and the head massage was AMAZING hence I'm finally writing a review. I didn't realize shampoo came with a head message. I was wondering why it took like 10 minutes to wash my hair. Haha! Today my haircut was $45 so maybe the wash and massage was $10? Anyways, it was totally worth it. I wished it was longer. Haha. I would have given this place 4 stars because I don't do anything fancy with my hair. My hair is pretty easy. It's long, straight, and not too thin or too thick. I just get a trim and layer my hair and the price is average. It's not not cheap which I was used to when I lived LA. But the 5 star is because I've always had a great experience. The lady is pretty thorough. She keeps double checking to make sure she doesn't miss anything. She never rushes and takes her time. And of course the head message was amazing! read more

I've been to Friendly Hair Salon three times now -- twice for hair cuts and once for manicure and a pedicure -- and I have loved it! Phi Phi is amazing with hair. The first time I came in, my hair was past my waist and was in desperate need of a cut. I was trying to grow it out to donate and didn't want to do anything too crazy with it. Phi Phi cut and layered it in the most beautiful way. The second time around, my hair was shorter and Phi Phi still worked her magic, giving me a V-shaped cut with long layers. Haircuts start at $20 but can be more depending on the length of your hair. Expect to pay at least $25. The one time I got my nails done here, I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure. It took a bit longer than it would have at other places, but the manicure and pedicure lasted much longer than I expected. I will definitely be back to Friendly Hair Salon for my hair and nail needs! read more

So glad I found this place on Yelp. Not only is it close to work, but here are other reasons for my stars: Phone call beforehand - man was so friendly on the phone. Called twice, once to set up appointment, then later to confirm they accept card. Location - corner of Edinger and Red Hill. Enough parking, newer building. Service - was there for spa pedicure and was helped by Lindsay. Came straight from work and she could sense my tiredness and let me relax for the first half. Chairs have massages, much needed. Owner Phiphi is also so friendly. Price - $20 for spa pedicure is a steal for this area. She did well with the cleaning. Tip - I saw a lot of pics on hair and it's enticing me to come back for a possible do... We shall see. I'd recommend calling to make an appointment as prices are very reasonable. read more

Love it!! I've always been really picky about my hair cuts, and my stylist of 7 years passed from cancer. I was DREADING finding another stylist, and after a few misses, I'm SO GLAD I found Friendly Hair Salon! My artist Hanh and I had some language barrier issues, but another woman (who seemed like the owner) was able to interpret. I got vibrant red highlights and an awesome layered hair cut for only $120! This is honestly the best hair cut I've had (and I'm not just saying that because I cut my own hair for a year!) Normally after getting my hair professionally cut, I obsess over it wondering if the layers are even, etc, but this was perfect! Normally you need to pick two: good cut, good color, or good price.

I checked Groupons to save money but sometimes you're not getting their best work because it's cheaper and they're not getting as much money or sometimes they charge more for long hair etc. I even got turned away by one color expert called "Hair by Christopher" on Groupons who told me after looking at pictures of my hair, he responded "It's more work than I want to take on.I don't feel comfortable taking it on. Sorry." He claims he a color expert and had good reviews but he was not compassionate nor caring about my situation. Anyways, I checked yelp instead. I reached out to as many stylists I could that would respond right away, educate me, would answers my questions and had good reviews. I wasn't sure if anyone was going to be able to save my hair but I knew I needed lowlights and never had one plus I didn't want to lose all my highlights either. Vivian knew what I needed and what I wanted after communicating with her and sending pics etc. She wanted to work with me and gave me a better deal than Groupon and most stylists. She listened. She wanted to help me. I trusted my instincts and she made my hair look better than I imagined. You can see for yourself. She's efficient, unbelievable at multitasking, and is a hard worker. She doesn't waste your time and her attention is on your hair at all times. She saved me. I am ever so thankful for her. I would refer her to everyone. She doesn't overcharge. She helped save me from hundreds of dollars.

Since her regular hairstylist was away on vacation, I decided to look for someone new nearby in Irvine and came across Lily's Salon on Yelp.

From the moment we walked in, she made us feel comfortable and cared for. What surprised me most was hearing my daughter say she likes Lily even more than the hairstylist she's been going to for the past year! That alone says everything. I'll definitely be recommending Lily to all my family and friends. Thank you, Lily, for such a wonderful experience, we're already looking forward to seeing you again next month!

Valet is apparently free, but I found street parking in front of OSPI. I initially found SAGE on Yelp, then visited their website to learn more before booking. I really appreciated how transparent they are. Each stylist has a profile with a bio and a picture. The services and individual pricings are listed upfront in the booking portal, which made it easy to choose someone who fit what I was looking for. Price transparency is important to me, and at the very end I was charged exactly what I booked. My stylist was Mikayla, and she was incredibly meticulous/detail-oriented. She spent about 4.5 hours perfecting my Full Highlights, and I never felt like she was rushing through any part of the process. During the consultation, I felt heard. She listened to what I wanted without any judgment or pressure to steer me toward a different outcome. Instead, the conversation felt collaborative, with explanations that helped me make informed decisions. I know for some, having to chat for all that time may be daunting. Mikayla struck the perfect balance between friendly conversation and giving me space. She clearly communicated each step of the process before doing it. My Full Highlights service included foiling, toning, a shadow root, a hair mask, and a full blowout. I'm so happy with how everything turned out!

Before I left, he even let me know that if there was anything I'd like adjusted after living with the haircut for a few days, he'd be happy to take care of it. That level of care and attention really stood out. I'm so glad I found both SAGE and Colby. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a stylist who truly listens and delivers.

First time here. Found the place quite easily with parking to boot. Walked in and was greeted with a friendly smile and hello from Phi Phi. We talked about what I was looking for in a hair style and we both agreed on a clean and tight Summer cut for me. Needless to say I was very happy with the results. THANK YOU Phi Phi! so to summarize: -accommodating -friendly (just like the name says) -great value what more could you want?! read more
