I found So here, on Yelp, among how many hairstylists in North Orange County? I was lucky! What a gem. My son was getting married, and I wanted my hair professionally colored as I normally do my own. I had a haircut recently, but I wasn't pleased with my bangs. So was incredible! The color turned out so beautiful! The way she explained everything told me she was a pro. She also knew right away what to do with my bangs. I went to my stylist, who charges A LOT, twice within a few weeks, and she couldn't fix them for me. Watching So was such a joy. I felt completely confident in her hands. I had instant trust in her skill. Once she got a hold of that blow dryer, it was a show like no other! She was so gentle with my 58-year-old hair! I didn't have to ask her to be. She used her fingers with such great technique, and when she got the brush going, it was mesmerizing. I want to return to her. I can only imagine how great she must be at haircuts and highlights, which I plan to get from her in the future. read more

I'm so happy I met So. She knows what she's doing. After going through so many trial and error with many hairstylists, I so glad I found her. She very honest, and I can tell she takes great pride in her work. I'm super ecstatic of my hair! read more

Hair Magic By So - So's masterpiece! - Hair Stylists Near Me - La Habra, California

I am a retired hairstylist so starting off, I'm pretty critical of whoever does my hair. I am "So-So-SO" happy to have found So! First off, she's super prompt and easy to communicate with thru DM or text. I went in for root touch up and a haircut and I could not be happier. Literally the best haircut of my life and my color is perfect. She's honest, experienced and not money hungry. On top of that, she sent me a message the next night saying she overcharged me and refunded me the amount!! She could have easily kept the difference and I never would have known. So actually her prices (which I already thought was super reasonable) were even less! She's also super efficient, not one of those that keep you sitting in a chair for hours while working on other clients. I was in and out in less than 2 hrs. I will be recommending everyone I know to her, taking my daughters to her and already looking forward to my next appt!! read more

Highly recommend!!!! I have been going to So for around a year and a half now and I am always satisfied with her expertise, quality of work, and the overall experience! The best way to reach So is to find her on Instagram (@hairmagicbyso). She posts her availability on her highlights & stories. However, you can always DM (message) her to get rates and book your appointments. She is so kind and easy to talk to! I usually show her my inspiration pics and lean on her expertise to tailor the shade/tones to complement my natural hair and skin color and level of maintenance. Love her work and I love my hair! read more

I love her "So" much. Pun intended. I had the hardest time finding the perfect hair stylist for me. I went to one place before her back in 2022? The lady there did a nice job and I liked what she did, BUT I felt super rushed with her. With So, she took her time explaining so much to me about my hair and what would look good (I did ask for her recommendation as I did with the other lady). She also showed me how to style my hair/bangs. I felt like we had great customer/stylist chemistry with So. I also absolutely love her honesty and I'm glad I decided to take my chances with her. I love my hair and how she took her time to cut and style my hair. Super grateful to have met her :] You can tell So loves what she does and how much of a people person she is. Safe to say that I can't wait to book my next appointment with her soon~ It's no wonder she has perfect 5* review! I couldn't help but keep staring at her cute Christmas decors. Her studio felt very warm & inviting and not a whole "I'm about to chop your hair off" type of vibe. read more

I have been looking for a new hairstylist for a long time now. I came across her Instagram and messaged her for an appointment. She was super quick to respond and found me her earliest appointment time on a Friday. I received a haircut and style which blew my mind. I loved how she gave me her opinions on what I should get as my haircut due to my thin hair. Also, she gave me lots of tips and tricks on how to style my hair. Thank you for a wonderful first experience! I'll surely come back. read more

The hair dresser knows what she's doing. Very clean, comfortable, quick, and friendly. Would highly recommend her service. Will be returning again. read more

I absolutely love my hair! I hadn't cut it in over a year so I needed help. My hair is long, fine, and kinda frizzy. So was very nice and immediately made me feel comfortable. She asked questions about my hair, what I wanted, and questions I hadn't been asked by stylists in the past. In addition to asking great questions, she also provided information that made me feel confident about my upkeep and style. After the cut and style, I was shocked because I never knew it could look so good - it was full, shiny, wavy, and looked so healthy. I felt like a hair model. I plan to set up another appointment with her for color and recommended her already read more

Hair Magic By So - Cut and style of long fine hair - Hair Stylists Near Me - La Habra, California

I found her thru Instagram and the quality with how she does her cuts and colorings are beyond expectations! She responds at a timely rate and is straightforward with what is to be expected and answers questions that you might have with her. All the times I've gone to her (trim, hair bleach, highlights) it has turned out better than the pictures of the styles I wanted. Currently I live an hour away due to school but I would gladly drive that distance to change my hair because it's so worth it! She has her own place now and it's nice to have that one to one private session with her. Everything is clean and new, sanitized as well, which is important especially during this Covid time. I appreciate her expertise and she really does work magic on your hair! read more

I absolutely adore So! I found her on here many years ago when I needed to find a new hair stylist to get my hair cut. Back then, I only really cut my hair once a year so I was a little hesitant going to someone new but I took a chance and I'm glad I did! She's knowledgeable, sweet, fairly priced for the work she does but what was most important to me was that she worked with me on whatever look I would go for and gave honest recommendations and options on how to achieve that. For someone who can get pretty indecisive at times, she was exactly what I needed! Also love that I can just text her to make an appt. She's just awesome! Highly recommend her! read more

I've been going to So for like 2-3 years now and wherever she goes, I'll follow! I love how precise she is and how she takes her time to get the exact coloring that I want. She also has all the answers to all my hair questions. And on top of that, our conversations are always so sweet and fun. She also offers some snacks and drinks and even offers up her iPad so you can watch your shows so the time goes by faster. read more

Very overdue review, but I had to write one because of how amazing my hair still looks after ten months! After seeing my sister's beautiful balayage done by So, I also made an appointment. I've been going to my hairstylist for almost a decade, and she was terrific at doing very low maintenance balayage, but she moved to another state. I was nervous about finding another stylist to do my hair because I've never gone to another one for ten years! But when I met So, she made sure to go over all the steps and explained what I should expect after the styling. I have super long and full hair, and So made sure to pay meticulous attention to cut and color my hair. And the result was just amazing, as you can see from the photo. She blended my previous balayage well, and the color matched perfectly with my natural hair that even after ten months, my hair still looks great. I also tried to use Fenola purple shampoo at least once a week to maintain the blonde. I plan to visit So again soon to get a haircut and another balayage. Thanks So! read more

I got my hair cut and colored with So and am super happy with the results! She walked me through what she was going to do, which I appreciated, and did it much quicker than I expected (4 hours vs 5 hours) and also gave me helpful tips/info for my scalp and hair health. She also offers a complimentary touch up in two weeks! I live a bit far from her salon but she is definitely worth the drive and I will be returning read more

I've finally found my go to hairstylist! I came in to go blonde after debating for awhile whether I should go through with it. Since I am Asian, I tried to find a stylist that had experience working with my hair type. So was the perfect person as her work shows how much she knows about coloring hair. It was really easy to set an appointment through Instagram DM and she was very communicative. As soon as I entered her salon suite, it was so comfortable and easy going. As a really shy person, I appreciated that she struck up conversation first and made sure I was comfortable. She offers Netflix and Disney plus to help pass time, and it felt like I was just hanging out with a friend. My hair also came out so so nice! I had to go through some rounds of bleach to achieve a lighter color, but it still feels so healthy. I've been dyeing my hair for years now, and it has never felt as healthy as it does after visiting So. She did let me know that due to my previous balayage there would be slight streaks of darker areas, but she ended up touching them up when I went in for my toning session a month after. She's so sweet and talented at what she does, so I can't wait to come back and try out different colors!! read more

I had my hair colored by So twice, and I am very satisfied with the results. So was very sweet and friendly. The appointments just went by so fast, and it didn't really feel like I was sitting there for over 3 hours. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, and explained everything I needed to know about the color that I wanted to achieve. Nice, little salon, that can only take 1 customer at a time, is actually perfect to get my hair done during Covid because I didn't have to worry about other customers. I highly recommend So. read more

So is such an amazing and sweet person! This review is long overdue. I have been seeing her for almost 2 years now and have asked her to replicate a few different styles, and she is the first hairstylist who is actually able to replicate a hairstyle I request by showing pictures. She is super talented and always continuing her education by traveling to take courses to perfect her art. I brought my girlfriend to see her as well and she added fire to our relationship by making us more attracted to each other If you are looking for a professional artist who actually listens to you and has the skills to follow through with your vision, look no further and schedule an appointment with So! read more

I was referred by a friend who bleached her hair and looks awesome. I bleached 3 times within last 10 months and my hair is kind of fragile. So did really good job when she bleach my hair today and provide me a brunch suggestions of color, style and how to take care of fragile hair. The price is reasonable and worth to try. read more

I found So on IG a couple of years ago. Unfortunately because of lockdowns I couldn't get my hair done till now and let me tell you she killed it! I came in with long, lifeless, faded, outgrown roots, and a botched at-home quarantine-trimmed haircut. I trust So very much that I came in and told her to do whatever she wants. My only instructions was to stick to "natural" colors like blondes browns and reds, keep as much length as possible and to give my hair some kind of shape. And THIS is what she did... I mean, come on!! This is actually the color that I've been wanting for years and was never able to achieve before. She is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and just very talented. So long as she's within driving distance, I'll be coming back for sure! read more

I was nervous getting my hair cut because I had a handful of bad experiences before but I decided to take a chance and find a new hair stylist. I initially called her but she was busy at the time so I left a voicemail. I got a text soon after with her availability. She mentioned that she prefers communicating through Instagram though because she may miss a call through her phone. When I got there, the door was locked due to the pandemic, but I texted her and she came out to greet me. She was really nice and helped me decide what haircut I should go with since I had very vague ideas. Her suite was also really clean. Overall super sweet and I would definitely go back for another haircut next time. read more

I came with long, brittle previously balayaged hair and wanted blue/purple (indigo) hair. I was worried about the fade color since I have seen blue hair turn green after few washes. So was very responsive through Instagram when I had questions on what exact color I want and how it will fade out. She even took her time to discuss exactly what I'm looking for when I arrived to her salon in person. She's very generous and I can see that she cares for her clients a lot! When cutting my hair, she made sure that it is the length I want rather than chopping them off based on her judgment. My hair turned out SO GREAT and I love the color a lot! I've been receiving compliments on my hair color and recommended So to my friends who lives near by as well! So will take her time to listen to her clients request thoroughly and makes sure that her client is comfortable and happy during the session at all times! (Super generous with tea/coffee, snacks and shows to watch!!!) shes super sweet and a talented stylist! I hope to come back and try different color from her again :) thank you So! read more

So has some serious talent and great knowledge on hair! Her studio is cozy and welcoming. She is super sweet and great with conversation. While getting my haircut, So recommended some products for my hair to better care for it and even noticed how my scalp was red and recommended tea tree oil to help calm it down and allow it to not be as irritated as it was. It could be that I came from the gym before my haircut, or just that I was in the sun. Her knowledge about hair is wonderful! She was able to do magic to my hair and make me look great. Even viewing her Instagram portfolio of the other services she offers are pleasing to the eye. I do plan on dying my hair and when the time comes, I will be choosing So to dye it since she has proven her expertise just with one simple haircut and everything she suggested to me. Oh, and when she washes your hair to get the excess hair that was just cut out, she it very caring with the eyes and places a hand towel over them to not get any water splashes in them or the rest of your face. She also washes your head very well--feels like a massage! So provides a whole new experience for just a haircut. Trust me when I say to trust So! read more
