I LOVE this place!! I've been wanting to try a new salon since I've been having a hard time finding the right stylist for me and this place is it!! I got service-matched with Leslie through their website and she's a pro!! She's so friendly and she listened to what I wanted and delivered EXACTLY what I was envisioning: long layers with long face-framing pieces. Leslie's laidback but professional demeanor made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a sophisticated yet effortless cut, Leslie is the one for you!! With a keratin treatment and toner (plus having long hair), pricing is definitely on the higher end but it is WORTH it. I will definitely be coming back here (and I might be bringing some friends too) :) read more

Walked in for a consultation about a year ago, and never looked back! My stylist is Marlena. She always understands exactly what look or style I'm feeling and I never leave disappointed! read more

Love this place! Aaron has been my stylist since 2022, and I've been his client since his days working at the La Habra location. I'm happy to make the drive to this new location because he's a great stylist that gets my hair goals right every time! He's attentive, focused, and very skilled. The ambience of the salon is super chill, and there's great music and decor. All of the staff are so friendly and welcoming too. From the moment I walk in to the the time I leave, I'm always a happy customer. :) read more

Hair Jungle - A snapshot of my hair transformation from a video taken by Aaron. ‍ - Hair Stylists Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I moved to Foothill Ranch 3 years ago and tried a few salons nearby for haircuts, but I was still making the long drive to LA for color because I was so afraid to try someone else...that is until I discovered this gem and met Aaron Lacava last year. If you want a stylist that will listen to you and take their time explaining the pros and cons of what you want-make that appt! He really loves what he does and thrives to make your hair happy. read more

I'm very happy with the color and cut I received from Gabby at Hair Jungle. My hair looks amazing and the red is a subtle yet vibrant color that's hard to pull off. The vibe and ambiance of the salon was also cool as it was modern and industrial. read more

Hair Jungle - My cut and color by Gabby - Hair Stylists Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I have been going to Cass for 7 years and I stay following her all over OC. She is an angel and always crushes the cut. Love her down!!

I want to preface this... the girls are so nice. The vibe is cute. Literally so easy to get an appointment. This is all about pricing and my hair. I guess I misspoke and said I wanted a blow out, which I've gotten many blow outs before, and it's never cost this much or been this disappointing. It was $60 for blow out. $75 for long hair. EXTRA $15 to CURL MY HAIR USING HOT TOOLS? Okay. I don't mind paying for quality. I tipped her 20% because she was nice but I fcking hate my hair. I even showed her EXACTLY what I wanted. My hair looked better going into the appointment than leaving it. Seriously. I travel OUT OF STATE & tip well for my hair stylists. Finding a good hair stylist is hard. And doing a good job? Yeah I appreciate a really good job. And will pay for it. But this? No volume. No life. Special occasion for my sister's birthday ruined. I had to recurl it myself. I'm never coming back here. I'm already signing membership with another place that includes curls for their blow outs. And they offer champagne & wine with service. I'm so beyond upset. The good thing about it is booking it. The front desk person was so nice and my hairstylist was actually really really nice and I hate that I'm leaving this Review, but I just need to warn others that I had a less than stellar experience with the outcome of my hair and the actual price I have a few friends who are cosmetologist and do hair, and when I told them and showed them what my hair was, and how much I paid and tipping on top of that 20%, they were flabbergasted. It was extra to curl my hair. I thought it was an Orange County thing but I called a few other places that include curl so I'm pissed and I'm never coming here again and I'm not recommending this to anybody. read more

My first visit to Hair Jungle with Marlena was fantastic. She truly listened and immediately understood my vision, especially when it comes to working with thinning hair. I like love my new shag cut and can't wait to see how it grows out. I'm so excited to finally find a stylist who shares my vision. I highly recommend Marlena for your next cut!! read more

Went to Hair Jungle because my last stylist ruined my hair and I had been walking around for months with a terrible cut. Definitely recommend I went to Thais for a curly cut and I love my hair it looks better than ever! Everyone was also really kind, honest, helpful and experienced. read more

Came in desperately looking for help on the job my last stylist botched me on.... Found this rad salon and even more rad new stylist for keeps, MARLENA! She listened to my sad hair story, heard my goals, put in her professional touch and suggestions and NAILED IT! So pleased thank you Marlena can't wait to see you again soon! CHEERS! read more

Since my previous salon closed and stylist retired, I'd been searching for someone with the skill and experience to be able to deal with my super thick hair. Aaron was kind and patient, clearly communicating each step of the way in cutting and styling my long layers. Best cut I've had in many years. Leslie was wonderful with shampoo and assisting with styling. The salon is bright and beautiful, and staff friendly and welcoming. All thanks and gratitude to Aaron and Hair Jungle. Highly recommend! read more

Ashley at Hair Jungle is the stylist you hope you'll find but rarely do. She takes her time, asks thoughtful questions, and genuinely cares about getting it right. My hair has never looked healthier or more flattering. The color is rich and dimensional, the cut falls effortlessly, and the entire experience felt calm, intentional, and elevated. She's talented, kind, and incredibly detail‑oriented. I walked out feeling confident, refreshed, and truly cared for. Five stars all the way. read more

I had an amazing blow dry and hot tool experience with Karina today! The salon was clean and immaculate... and she knew exactly how to style my hair. I showed her two pictures and it looked exactly like the pictures. I will be back. This will be my go to blow dry place from now on. Great Vibe read more

I can't say enough good things about Marlena! She truly listens and takes the time to understand exactly what you want, while also offering thoughtful, professional recommendations. My hair turned out better than I imagined. Healthy, beautifully styled, and perfectly suited to me:) read more

Marlena is the best! I have very thin, oily, and sparse hair and have always struggled to find the right cut or style that gives me a fuller look with minimal styling. Marlena always comes through! All I need to do is mention my preferences for layering or long/short hair, and she gives me the best cuts based on my face shape, along with great suggestions for hair color tones and smart ideas for styling at home using minimally damaging products. I have walked out happy and confident every time. . read more

My stylist, Karina Diaz, is AMAZING!! I have had a pixie cut for 20 years and finally wanted to grow it out. I've tried to do this before, but the stylists never did a good enough job and I ended up cutting everything off again. Karina has done such an amazing job that I'm already at bob-length! She also tones my hair to cover any grays and is so thorough and careful. She's also the sweetest hair stylist I've ever had (and I'm old, so I've had quite a few). The salon has the feel of a luxurious spa and all the other customers seem pretty happy, but I very, very, strongly recommend Karina. read more

HairJungle is such a bright, open, and welcoming salon with plenty of parking and a super convenient location. The whole team is very friendly, and the chairs are so comfortable. My favorite stylist is Anna -- I had been searching for a long time for a colorist who could achieve the exact tone I want without leaving streaks on dark hair. Anna does true precision work: she colors only my grown-out gray roots and never touches the length, so the result looks seamless and natural every time. I highly recommend HairJungle, especially Anna, for anyone looking for flawless color and professional, detailed care. read more

I have not had my hair cut and styled in almost a year. Because I am lazy and it was easier to put my hair in a pony with a hat than calling a making an appointment. I walked in and they made me feel so welcomed. I had Thais and she talked to me for almost 10 minutes getting to know me and what I looking for. She made suggestions and I felt comfortable with what she recommended. She took her time and I am so happy with the outcome. I absolutely love it! Thank you so much Thais!!! read more

I understand that the appointment was for root touch up and you were supposed to MATCH the roots to the rest of the hair. She never asked for you to color her whole hair. The problem was that when she returned to you to match the color, you were very unprofessional and told her that you won't do anything to fix the problem. It's SAD that greed overcomes professionalism. read more

Nice hair cuts have to do the waiting bus. It's good to make an appointment with a hair stylist.

This salon is amazing all around! Aaron and his team are some of the kindest and most welcoming people I've met. They are extremely talented, detail oriented, and knowledgeable on current style and color trends which can sometimes be hard to find. They also use the best products. I know when I go here I'm going to leave incredibly happy and confident with my hair beyond my expectations. They also play the best music and have the most comfortable hair washing station which is a huge plus to the experience. My most recent visit, I got a deep conditioning treatment... let me tell you, my hair is the softest it's ever been. I opted for a shagy like style cut this time that will work with either being styled or air dried for some natural beach waves. Highly recommend this salon! read more

This is a gem of a salon in Lake Forest. I no longer have to venture out to Newport for amazing hair. I saw Aaron on a Tuesday for bayalage and he took a look at one photo perfectly matched the tone and styling. He took extra care to maintain the integrity of my hair which is naturally very curly and damaged from previous coloring. It's been the best salon experience I've had in the past five years. From overall attention to detail, careful listening, gorgeous interior styling, friendly staff and star expertise, it was a five star experience. I ended up coming back today for a Brazilian blowout. This is my new go-to salon. read more

I just got my hair done. I went from a greenish ashy brown to a beautiful auburn. I'm very happy with the service provided. My hair stylist's name was Jillian and she was excellent! She was so nice and understanding. Would recommend!! The atmosphere of the salon was very nice and relaxing. I would definitely come back. read more

Watch yourself at this rip off Salon.I canceled an appointment in plenty of time and the charged me $70. They are very rude, incompetent and non professional. Strongly discourage going to this Salon. Very high priced. read more

Edit!!!! The owner statement of my hair not being dry is incorrect your stylist not only towel. Dried my hair, but also use the brush and blow dried it and it still looked like crap. A simple "we apologize that our stylist is not experienced with low or highlights " would have been great but if shifting the blame back on me as a client makes you feel better go for it. Horrible! Spent literally three hours for low lights. I expressed to her that I wanted to keep the blonde in my hair that was on the ends of my hair...... This was the turnout. Save your money and do your hair at home instead of going to this place. Matter of fact a super cut could've did 1000 times better. read more

Hair Jungle is a beautifully designed space paired with a genuinely welcoming, professional team. I always look forward to seeing Cindy who is not only highly skilled, but also incredibly personable. She takes the time to really listen to what I'm looking for and consistently delivers results I love. I always leave feeling confident. I would also recommend Karina. She gave me a warm welcome and talked me through my haircut and styling tips. I always look forward to my appointments at Hair Jungle and wish my hair would grow faster so I can visit more often! read more

I hadn't had my hair professionally done since before the pandemic, and after thinking about it for over a year, I finally took the plunge. Jungle Salon has a client/hair designer consultation quiz, and I was matched with Marlena. After checking out her Instagram, I was instantly impressed--her work is amazing! And let me tell you, that quiz got it right--that's my girl! From the moment I sat in her chair, Marlena made me feel comfortable and heard. She took the time for a thorough consultation, truly listening to what I wanted while also offering thoughtful suggestions. It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure I left happy, and she nailed it! My haircut turned out even better than I imagined--I feel like a new woman! Marlena's attention to detail and expertise made the whole experience fantastic. I will definitely be back! If you're looking for a stylist who listens, makes you feel at ease, and delivers incredible results, book with Marlena--you won't regret it! Thank you, Marlena!! read more

Great service, easy parking, expert staff and great vibe. Highly recommend! Gaby is probably one of the best color artists ive ever met!

Love Aaron. Found the shop accidentally and was unhappy where I was going. I told the old place 3 times what I wanted. Showed them a pic of my hair that way, and they told me it couldn't be done. Even tho that's what I used to get. I went in, talked to Aaron, made an appointment, and Voila! Exactly what I wanted. Very happy. Thank you! Nice clean shop with nice people. read more

Marlena at hair jungle is the absolute best hair dresser you will find. She truly listens to what you want, is patient and beyond talented. I have never left the salon wanting more.
