    Called in last minute for a cut! Lena was really friendly and gave a lot of tips about how to style & take care of my hair! Her salon is really cute and I would recommend giving her a visit!

    During- there's my beautiful stylist in the back!

    I've been wanting to try something different for my hair since being dark haired for several years. I lost touch with my old stylist so started my search for my new stylist. I found Lena on Yelp and Instagram and just fell in love with her work. I wanted someone who knew Asian hair but can also cut hair well. I asked for bangs from another hair stylist and she told me no- wtf. Another cut it all stringy, and it took a while to grow them back. I was having bad luck finding the right stylist until I found Lena. Lena is located in the Sola Salon building, and her place is clean and cute. Lena offered me coffee and snacks (I ate everything lol) while waiting for the color to develop. I showed her a picture of her own work, and described what I wanted my hair to look like, keep it long, some bangs but face framing and she knocked it out of the park!! I never seen a stylist curl my hair so fast, I wish I had that timing to curl my hair everyday for work. I saw myself in the mirror, and I was like, who is that? She made me feel so pretty and the color is just beautiful- I've been getting compliments from everyone. The only thing that caught me off guard, a haircut is usually included in coloring services by every other stylist I have been to but Lena doesn't include it- so I wasn't used to that. You have to pay for it separately at $75. So be aware when you're booking a service and don't get shocked like I was at the end. I was too happy with my end hair color but it did catch me by surprise. She gives excellent haircuts though- I didn't tell her much and she cut it in a very flattering way just the way I envisioned it. Lena is a super sweet person and she can really do hair- very talented. Lena is a blonde specialist. I had virgin hair and it took about 4 hours for the whole process of bleaching my hair and toning it plus haircut and style. I went from a tired, overworked gov't employee to refreshed warm beige/milk tea goddess. She gave me tips on how to care for my hair because it's been bleached and an approximate time frame on when to return to do my roots and retone the color. I'll be back in two months!!

    Lena came to my rescue again. Just look at the before and after photos. What an incredible transformation! Her work absolutely speaks for itself. She is patient, thoughtful, kind and incredibly gentle as she changed my hair from a mess to something I'm proud of.

    I love it! My coworker recommended her and I have seen her work in Instagram as well, I would say I love her work and would definitely trust her! Thank you for taking care of my hair and for being so caring would comeback for touch ups!

    I really loved my experience with Lena! She not only gave me exactly what I asked for, but also she is very sweet. I'll definitely be going to her for any future hair dye jobs :) You'll be in good hands with her!

    I LOVE MY HAIR! I had been itching to go balayage ash blonde, and saw Lena's amazing work on Yelp. She did an incredible job with my hair, she really took her time and was so sweet! She also did a butterfly cut on me, and I'm obsessed. I get so many compliments on my hair! highly recommend to come visit!

    I luckily found Lena here through Yelp and saw her work on instagram and felt like I could trust her with my hair. My hair needed A LOT of color correcting as I've had pinks, reds, and violets in my hair. However Lena was able to achieve the color of blonde I was looking for, blended my ombré into a balayage so nicely, and gave me some long layers. She took really good care of my hair and didn't leave any damage at all. I instantly walked out of her salon with a confidence boost and couldn't be happier with my results. I'll definitely be going back to her for touch ups! Thank you Lena! PS: this is my hair after several washes

    Balayage!!

    I haven't had my hair done since October! I didn't know if I wanted to go full blonde or keep my dark hair? But let me tell youuuu! Lena is the best! I love my hair! It took about 4-5 hours with my hair. She also gave my hair deep conditioning treatment since it was do dry. Those hours flew by so quick, it did not feel like a drag. She even offered me some snacks! Hehe, anyways... can't wait to come back in a couple months or so!

    went back to retouch my roots and dye my hair a darker color! lena again was soso sweet and never fails to make me feel comfortable with everything! she knows what color/cut matches well with your complexion & facial structure. i loved how meticulous she was with everything and it went by so fast! she truly is the best and i can't wait to come back again :)

    I love Lena. The hair, the vibes, the level of care??? 10/10. I have a bunch of hair and my goodness is it THICK but Lena handles it with such ease. She really listens to what I want and nails it every time! She did my balayage and for the first time in a long time, I did not have the urge to do something to it because I just loved it so much. I recently got my balayaged refreshed with some color and she cut some bangs and I absolutely love it. I feel like a million bucks. Lena is your girl if you want someone who truly listens and follows through. I am so lucky I found her!

    Feelin myself TO THE MAX
    Mayra A.

    LENA IS THE BOMBBBB! She had me walking out of her salon feeling like a new woman! I love her personality, she makes me feel comfortable to express myself and to just be me! I walked in totally different with a peekaboo that she did last time and she was able to deliver on my new hairdo AGAIN! This is my third time seeing her and I just love all that she does she has an Instagram @lenahhair just so you can see what she does, but honestly just come try her out! She's amazing! If you have any questions she WILL answer them honestly. It's so nice to have a hairstylist that just GETS YOU and is patient with you! Oh, AND she speaks Spanish! WHAT?! LUV A MULTITALENTED CREATIVE WOMAN!!!

    Toned my hair and eyebrows lighter

    I've been looking for a younger hair stylist who knows how to do the trendy Korean hair styles I wanted and I found Lena! I loved my very first hair cut and I've been her loyal customer for the past two years. She is soo good and very good with Korean men's haircuts too (I took my brother to her and she was the first stylist he's ever liked too) Highly recommend her for cuts and color and anything else!

She looks just like you'd want your hairdresser to look - pretty, stylish and with great hair. I was just getting a trim, but she was so meticulous and asked all the right questions so I would get what I went in for. Sometimes you'll get hairdressers that try to point out the flaws of your last cut, or things that need to be fixed, but Blue was very complimentary and sweet. After she blow dried my hair, I realized I should have asked for more to be trimmed off. I felt so guilty, but she was so kind and immediately offered to trim more. After she was done, it was perfect! This salon feels really clean, modern, and airy - plus it's in a great location. Make sure to ask for Blue, she's the best.

    PERM DID NOT TAKE -- MANAGEMENT BALMED MY "HAIR CANVAS" INSTEAD OF SERVICE!!…read more I'm severely disappointed with my experience at Salon Technique in Fullerton. I went in for a spiral perm with clear reference photos and left with a result that did not match what was discussed and was assured was possible. Within weeks, the curl continued to fall out, and at this point there is very little curl remaining--even with styling products; what a loss of $460! After multiple attempts to follow up with Pamela Coryell the owner and Piage their "perm specialists", I did not receive any timely responses from either. When Pamela did finally reply, my concerns were dismissed and the outcome was blamed on my "hair canvas", including claims that my ends were lightened and too porous. This is simply not accurate--my hair is NOT colored, and I have had previous spiral perms which held well 8+ months and have matched the spiral perm look requested. To be certain I was not off my rocker, I had another salon in evaluate my hair that very same week I got the perm, and they confirmed the perm did not properly take, did not reflect what was asked for and they said I should be refunded. What's most disappointing is the lack of accountability from Salon Technique. Instead of acknowledging that the service fell short, the responsibility was redirected onto me the client! I requested multiples times for a refund and was denied and the only offer sent back was that I could return and re-perm little ares here and there with no promise that they would take! UNBELIEVABLE - I'm sharing this so others can make an informed decision. My experience says beware and do not go here. I expected professionalism and accountability, and unfortunately this salon does not hold to this level of professionalism. UPDATE 4/25/2026 JUST RECEIVED A SPIRAL PERM FROM Avy The Curly Girly at a different salon in Fullerton and I got EXACTLY what I asked for (see photo) and to boot... for way less! Dear Salon Owner Pamela and Paige it is NOT my "canvas" that's the issue!

Incredibly patient, always wonderful, never needed more than a description to know exactly what I wanted. One thing to know going in is that Ashley keeps it real with you. Once you understand that, you realize it is actually one of her best qualities because it means she is completely focused on your hair. I moved and tried to save the drive. My hair paid for that. I rolled the dice on a local salon and asked for a soft natural look on my dark hair. They bleached 80% of my head. Went back to fix it. Came out looking like a tiger. Orange, blonde, dark brown, black, all at once. Went back a third time. Left fully orange. My hair was nearly beyond repair. I reached out to Ashley. She had me come in for a consultation on a Wednesday, saw the damage in person, saw my inspiration picture, and was shocked. We booked that same Friday. She blow dried between every round to check the tone. Never rushed once. Fed me her favorite Korean snacks and got me completely hooked. By the end of that night she nailed it. The color, the softness, the health Not many stylists can lift naturally dark hair, correct that level of bleach damage, and preserve the hair all at once. That is a rare skill. Ashley has it and she makes it look easy. Five hour round trip. Twelve hours in the chair. Worth every minute. Love Ashley
