    I have attached photos that speak louder than words. Do NOT go to Kenny! Kenny filters his posted photos and they are not all authentic. My Mom went to Kenny on August 31st after I was referred to him by a friend. I saw his work on social media and was so excited. She goes and gets a base color change, base, cut etc almost $300. Meanwhile, kenny sends me this blonde photo of my mom on social media while I'm at work, which looks amazing I thank him profusely. When I get home my Mom looks NOTHING like the photo, in fact she looks like she barely got a change. See attached photos. Basically we initially nicely asked Kenny if she can return to get some more highlights. This is where the problem begins. Myself nor my Mom didn't care about the work itself. My mom actually really liked Kennys attitude and personality and wanted to continue to see him. Kenny for no reason gives soooo much attitude to have her come in for a fix up. He makes it extremely difficult and we settle for a date like a month later because he's so busy though its shocking b/c when scheduling her initial appt he had availability the week of! So day of appt comes, my Mom is driving there for her appt at 12pm and kenny calls her at 11:45 to say he can only see her at 1pm, so she just sits in her car for over an hour b/c he informed her so late and she was almost at the salon. Then he see's her and says he can do additional highlights but there would be a $50 product charge, my Mom agrees. He then has the audacity to say "well actually I don't have any time today" with attitude. And my Mom basically storms off for him wasting her time! I don't think Kenny understands that he disrespected my Mother and her time is extremely valuable, she works 5-6 days a week and kills it at her career so for him to handle the situation like this is extremely unprofessional and he obviously can not stand up to his own work. He lost out on a lot of potential clients with this.

    Amazing and concise consultation. All expectations were met and exceeded. Kenny is a true master of cut and color. He has an uncanny ability to customize based off of independent features skin tone hair texture and whatever best suits the clients needs. A truly rare gem that is worth every penny. His work is the type of work he would pay $1000 for in Brentwood or Beverly Hills.

    Kenny is a Very Talented Hair Artist!

    Kenny is such a talented Hair Stylist. We had to drive more than an hour to go see him. We are all amazed by Kenny's many talents. Kenny cuts and styles your hair to fit your face, shape of your head and your looks... so he gives you the perfect cut, perfect hight lights, (he uses the most expensive & best and safe Coloring products too) Kenny cuts & styles with a passion. Truly an artist. He is the best. . Thanks Kenny!

    Hands down kenny is the best! He made me feel comfortable and made sure i was happy i love my new hair cant stop taking them selfies! Ive seen his balayage work and OMG i had to go with him and i couldn't be happier thanks kenny!!! You are my new hairstylist :D You will not regret

    Kenny has been styling my hair for a couple of years now because I only trust him to deliver exactly what I want! These pictures show two different hair dying sessions he has done for me that nailed it. An added plus is that everyone says my hair looks healthy!

    Long, thick hair!  Partial highlights + long layers by Kenny L - best Temecula hair stylist
    Tia K.

    I have been searching for a hairstylist for the past 7 years since I moved away from my last hair stylist of 10years. I gave so many other hair stylist a try, at first I'd like the cut leaving the salon, but never really loved it. After leaving Kenny's salon today, I felt great about my hair, it looks good and I don't have to fly back to my old stylist to get it fixed this time. I'm so happy to find someone close by in Temecula SoCal area that can take care of my thick, long, wavy/curly hair! Kenny is really an artist who is passionate about what he does, he's very focused and detailed oriented. He listens to you and really help you achieve the right look for you. Thanks so much Kenny!

    My hair before golden blonde to a pale blonde. Kenny L !! Great job!
    Cindy W.

    Kenny L did a fabulous job on my hair. I wanted a change from the golden dirty blonde and he took his time did a great job and making my hair beautiful. He was professional and has great attention to detail. I would definitely reccomend him if you want a beautiful color!!

    Kenny is the best at his art. He is truly an artist of hair. It is so hard to find someone who not only knows what they are doing but is passionate about their craft and only wants the best for their clients. He is very educated and talented with color and cut. He transformed my hair into everything I've ever wanted and was told by several hair stylist it was not possible. I'm so beyond happy I found him.

    Before, 6 month grown out balayage
    Quennie D.

    Kenny is amazing! My first time I came, he fixed up my balayage but at this appointment my hair has grown out 6 months so it was time for a touch up. I live in Miami, Fl but I wait to come home to get my hair done with Kenny. He gave me a fresh cut and touched up my hair with baby lights and I'm in love with it! I also got a hair treatment because it's been 6 months since I've been back so it feels healthy and new again!! I don't trust anyone else but Kenny with my hair.

    Ugh...it's hard for me to trust someone to do my hair! They normally never do what I want! But I have to Kenny L did an extraordinary job! I'm obsess with my hair! I feel like a new person! Kenny is someone I will definitely recommend anyone! He knows what he's doing! He's so patient! I loved his service! Definitely going back! Thank you Kenny L!!!! You're the BEST!!! Here is my transformation.....

    Amazing low maintenance haircut done by Kenny! #haircut #love #salon #hairbykennyl
    Tina T.

    Let's just say Kenny was the last straw when it came to finding a stylist in CA. I drive and fly to AZ to get precision cuts from my girl Shanelle but with me working in the industry as well, the schedule is very hectic. Luckily I had saved Kenny in one of the searches and I decided to finally reach out to him. He was able to take me in the same day (thank you). He works solo as well (his own business) located inside, "From Head 2 Toez". Kenny understood my expectations with how I needed my hair to be cut. He was able to even out the lob without cutting too much length from my shortest strand and gave me beautiful low maintenance layers for every day wear. Prior to the cutting he expressed what he was going to do and made sure I was okay with everything before proceeding and actually carried out what he said he would do with my hair. He was very attentive and made sure I was okay every step of the way. I've attached a photo of the cut Kenny did below so you can see for yourself the detail in the cut. Overall, if you are looking for a stylist who will listen to what you want, you got it... it's Kenny. If you're also looking for a change and need an up to date look, he'll be able to create a look catered to your individual needs. He also offers other wide variety of hair services as well so make sure you ask him about his other services. Kenny: It was a pleasure meeting you today. Thank you for making this experience calming and stress free. I love my new cut and I cant wait to grow out my hair! See you in a few months to freshen up my hair again. - @makemeprettie

Now I'm a male with a very low maintenance view on his hair, so I just lopped off my hair with the #2 shears. The salon was busy and livelyfor a Saturday afternoon, but there were a few staff still available for me to walk in. So the atmosphere was nice with music and conversation amongst patrons. I personally had a content time just peacefully enjoying my cut without any trouble. In the end, I managed to pay with Zelle. Understand they may not advertise it, they explain it was hacked before, but at least I got to leave with the cut I wanted without thinking too hard about what I owed, all in a good span of time.

Hair was looking choppy but I thought I should just trust the process. I heard her 11AM arrived while I was sitting. Girl why did you take me at 10:50AM if you have a 11AM? Anyways, It felt very rushed. Bangs are too short and look choppy. One side of my bangs are longer than the other. Hair has hardly any layers and when I look at the ends I see her define cuts. Probably the worst haircut I've ever had. I've been tying my hair and clipping the bangs up until it grows.

    Dear Salon Owner and Stylist Travis,…read more I am writing this review to express my deep disappointment with the extremely unprofessional experience my daughter and I had at Yashi Beauty Salon (9733 Bolsa Ave, Westminster, CA 92683), particularly with the stylist Travis. Before my daughter's appointment even began, I politely informed Travis that she has a dry scalp and a little dandruff because she is still young and sometimes does not wash her hair thoroughly. I shared this information simply so he would understand her condition and handle her hair gently and professionally. Unfortunately, what followed was the exact opposite. From the moment he started, Travis repeatedly yanked and pulled my daughter's hair very roughly. There was absolutely no care or patience shown toward a young child. Even after the appointment, my daughter told me her scalp hurt because he had pulled her hair so hard. What upset me even more was that instead of focusing on his work, Travis continuously talked to the other stylists about how "dirty" my daughter's hair was. He even walked over to speak with the manager about my daughter's scalp and hair condition. I was sitting in the waiting area and witnessed the entire situation. At one point, I noticed Travis glance toward me, realize that I was watching, and immediately look away while noticeably changing his attitude. That only reinforced my belief that he knew exactly what he was doing was inappropriate and unprofessional. What disappointed me the most, however, was the manager's response. Instead of reminding the staff to remain professional and ensuring that customers were treated with dignity and respect, the manager chose to participate in the gossip. They even crouched down together and whispered about my daughter's hair. Not once did I see anyone step in to stop the conversation or show any concern for how disrespectful their behavior was. As a manager, you should be setting the standard for professionalism and respectful customer service--not encouraging or participating in conversations that humiliate paying customers. Having dandruff or a dry scalp does not mean someone is "dirty." These are very common conditions that affect both children and adults. If my daughter's hair condition made it more difficult to perform the service, Travis could have spoken to me directly in a respectful and professional manner. Instead, he chose to gossip about my child with his coworkers and manager. If someone cannot treat customers with basic dignity and respect, then perhaps they should reconsider working in the beauty service industry altogether. What makes this even more upsetting is that the person who was hurt the most was my daughter. No child--or even an adult--should ever be made to feel embarrassed, judged, or disrespected while simply getting a haircut and hair color. When we got home, I also noticed that her haircut was uneven. While the hair color itself was acceptable, Travis's attitude and the overall customer service completely ruined what should have been an enjoyable experience for both my daughter and me. What I regret most is that despite everything we experienced, I still paid in full and even left a tip because I did not want to create a scene in front of my daughter. Looking back, I realize I should not have rewarded such poor service. I am speaking up now because I do not want another customer--especially another child--to experience the same disrespect that my daughter did. I sincerely hope the salon owner takes this matter seriously, speaks directly with Travis and the manager involved, and takes appropriate action to improve the professionalism and customer service within the salon. Hairdressing skills can always be improved, but respect, compassion, and professional ethics are what truly keep customers coming back and build a successful business. After this experience, I have completely lost confidence in this salon. I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend it to anyone as long as customers continue to be treated this way.
