I put off hair care for over a year due to health issues. When it was time to finally get back to myself, I went to Kari. Hands-down she gave me the BEST cut I've ever had. I love my hair and feel confident again! She's also kind and funny and just the best person. I highly recommend! read more

Headlines Hair Studio - My hair after a cut from Kari - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Kari has been cutting my hair for over a year. I can't imagine going to anyone else. A real pro. Years between barbers, franchises and stylists and never had anyone this good. Life is now simple. Call and ask for Kari! read more

Had a really disappointing experience with Sebastian. From the start, he had a rude attitude and didn't seem interested in listening to what I wanted. I specifically told him I didn't want my hair too short, but he completely ignored that and cut it way shorter than I asked. It felt like he just did whatever he wanted instead of considering what I actually requested. If you're looking for a barber who listens and cares about what you want, I'd recommend going somewhere else. read more

No waiting the owner she's friendly she does a great job cutting hair. Location is very convenient and there's always parking available read more

I have been going to Kari at Headlines Hair Studio in Lake Forest for 27 years now. She highlights and cuts my hair, and I always love how it turns out! I often get compliments on my hair, especially about the highlights. I have long hair, so it takes a long time, but Kari never rushes; she always takes her time to make sure that it is perfect, and she always does a beautiful job. Kari is fun, sweet, kind and the best hairdresser ever! She is an artist, so good at coloring hair and it is always so fun to go and see her. She is the best! Even when I moved out of state for a year and a half, I would never get my hair done by anyone else...I would always wait until I was able to come back to California, so I could have Kari do my hair. I will never go to anyone else. She really is awesome!!! read more

There aren't many things I'd take time out of my work day to drive an extra 15 miles each way to do, but having Kari Musick take care of my hair is one of them. She's very knowledgeable and talented. She'll take suggestions from me on how I'd like my hair cut and colored, as well as give her own opinion. She's also very fun to talk to. One reason for that is her good sense of humor. I look forward to my appointments with her even though I don't look forward to the traffic on the way to the salon! read more

Had Karri fry my hair and it was very long . When I complained as my hair was wet when I left and didn't notice till the hair dried at home , she could not get me in to see it or fix it . I kept calling and the owner was rude and had not even seen my hair and called me a liar ! I had been a client faithfully there but my hairdresser left . Buns would not fix , look at my hair or refund me to go somewhere else . I paid out of pocket to go somewhere else . Both Karri and the owner Bina were rude , abusive and completely unprofessional. I would not recommend anyone go here even if it's more affordable . Plenty of places where they really do a great job , use top of the line products and have the training to deliver the techniques and produce the colors without damage and humiliation if you complain after they damage you hair and charge a few hundred . Honestly I'd give a negative five star if I could ! read more

I have been going to the salon for about a year now! My hair stylist is Bina she is amazing love how she makes my hair look great every time I come here! She's passionate about her work you can see it when she is working with such a joy! She's also very good at what she does! Try her and you will never regret coming here! read more

Omg!! My hair looks amazing!! The color is so beautiful!!! Best haircut and color I have had in years. So happy to have found Kari Musick. Please ask for her!! Shes the best!! read more

So I came in earlier today looking to do a silver ombré with ramon. He is so sweet and explained throughly what he was doing during the whole process it took 3 hours!! He was great and just awesome, the reason for my 3 stars is because it's not exactly how I wanted my hair, I paid 200$ for a hairstyle that doesn't exactly look like the picture, I just was shocked at the price. I wish I could give it a 2 and a half stars... I understand that my hair is difficult to work with because I'm Asian and all but I was hoping for more silver and I got blonde. I didnt say anything because I hate to be one to complain and the results are not terrible, it's just not really what I wanted :'( these are my before and after pictures and a picture of what I wanted pictures and a picture of what I wanted read more

Just had to give an all-star review for one of Headlines newest stylist, Andrea. Since my hairstylist has been out for a couple months she referred me to her assistant Andrea. She has done a fabulous job with my color and hair blow outs both times. Andrea now sees her own clients and there is no doubt that she will do real well. Thank you Headlines for your consistent high level of training your stylist. read more

I love it here. My stylist Kari Musick is the best at color and cut. I walk in a bundle of nerves and I leave with fabulous hair and a great mood. Cannot recommend Kari highly enough! read more

Excelente location. Plenty parking. All new remodeled. Good ambience. I have a nappy, curly hair , it is very hard to find a person to do my hair in Orange county. I have been coming here to get my hair relaxed ,cut and press by Laurie Parker. She is a A+ professional and very sweet. I trust her tottaly! The only problem is that she is here only on Tuesday ! read more

The owner is really good at doing hair.Prices are great. but my complaint has to be the service. Usually if you call and make an appt. it means that you are not going to be sitting there for more that 30+minutes..right? not there and another thing you come in and the rest of the people there seemed to ignore you. somehting i feel like i'm invisible. Is it that hard to say hi what time is your appt? read more

Stephanie Brown is the hairdresser to go to! She knows how to cut and color hair. And she is super nice!

I was looking for a decent salon near where I live and I think I found it in Headlines! After reading reviews for lots of salons in the area on Yelp, I finally decided to make an appointment at Headlines and give it a try. I'm glad I did:) The salon is kind of hidden, its in the back corner of the shopping center close to the Crunch Gym and Smart and Final. Kari cut my hair and I really like it! I've received lots of compliments. Kari was great. She was positive and energetic and made me feel comfortable right away. She's so easy to talk to, I feel like I've known her forever even though we just met. She did a great job and I'm happy with my experience. I will be back! read more

KARI, is AMAZING! So fun to be around and my hair turned out even better than I imagined!! Best first experience with a stylist, Highly recommend her!!! read more

Found this place on a search on my phone cuz i needed a haircut in a pinch. I had an interview that day and stopped in . The place looked busy but this lady Linda said she'd hook me up. I was out of there in like 15 minutes! I also nailed the interview and got the job. My now new boss actually complimented me on my hair. Thanks Linda! If you go to this place, ask for her. She'll hook you up! read more

Linda is my new my hair GURU! I was so pleased!. SO glad a friend referred me here! Was looking for a new stylist since I'm new to the area, Linda did an amazing job on my cut. She gave me long layers and took my suggestions of what I had in mind and gave me something FABULOUS! I will for sure be back, and next time for color as well! Thanks Linda!!!!!! Also, cute salon ! read more

Sebastian came to work 1/2 hour earlier than he was scheduled, just to fit me into his busy day. I called him late the evening prior and he invited me to show up early the next morning so I could get my hair done. Super nice guy. read more

Sebastian has been my hairstylist for about a year now, and he is truly gifted. He knows exactly the right way to cut your hair to make it look right on you. Ever since my first cut with Sebastian, i will never go to anyone else. I have taken at least 6 of my friends to him and they feel exactly the same. Try out Sebastian I guarantee you will not be disappointed. read more

Ramon is awesome - he's a color specialist, with a great personality, great talent and fair prices...Best of all...he does what I want and I really like that. call him direct for an appointment Ramon Jimenez 949-566-5061 read more

Definitely a great spot to go and get a color and style. Complimentary food and wine included. I have been going to get my hair done by Ramoncito for years since I was a teenager and he has made me look like a celebrity every time. It's never a dull moment with this man, extremely friendly and charismatic and always makes me feel great and look my best. Highly, highly recommended him to anyone!!! read more

Kari did an amazing job with my hair, beautiful work with color correcting my hair. I have a LOT of hair and if bleached, it comes out very brassy. I am naturally a brunette but currently a blonde and needed my roots touched up as well as my eyebrows lightened. Kari was able to not only touch up my roots to match my blonde, but lightened my eyebrows to a naturally lighter shade (NOT a orangey color). Very happy customer :) read more

Kari is amazing! Today was my first time coming to this salon since moving here, and because I have curly hair, I am often very nervous when allowing new stylists to cut my hair. Not only was Kari friendly, she had great ideas of how to spice up my 'do, and I absolutely love it!!! Salon overall is very cute... All the staff is very friendly... And I will definitely be returning. Thank you headlines and Kari!!! read more

Stephanie Brown is amazing! She was booked for months and finally I was able to set an appointment with her and she did not disappoint. She worked with me at achieving my desired color . She was so patient and funny and warm. I'm so glad I decided to wait for her to do my hair. read more

I am heartbroken. I had just grown my beautiful curly hair out 4 inches below my shoulders and my hair was perfect. I went into the salon for SLIGHT layering and a trim. I walked out with my hair above my shoulders and poofy bangs that we didn't talk about AT ALL. Now my curls are gone and I am left with a poof ball on the top of my head. The worst part was that when he repeated back to me what I said he said " so you want to keep your length and you want slight very light layers?" And I said yes. All I can say is Thank God it can still go in a bun. The hairstylist was D'emoor read more

I have been coming to Kari for 12 years now and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her! She started doing my mom's hair doing coloring and perms and then I started coming to her with crazy requests for cuts and colors. I've asked her to do hot pink, black and bleach blonde in 3 separate layers before and each layer was a different length. She maintained this for me monthly for a couple years when I came to her with a new request for hair like someone I'd seen before, so I brought a picture in and she took a few hours but it came out perfect! It was partial bleach blonde and partial maroon colors in certain spots that were colored. It was beautiful! But after I had my son and became older I stuck with my favorite (childhood blonde) and she has been doing amazing blonde weaves for me for years. Today I drove down from the high desert 1.5 hours away just to see her and I haven't let anyone else touch my hair. Kari has became a great friend and she did my hairstyle for my wedding also (though she doesn't ever do this). She came to the hospital when my son was born and has been at many family events. I love her in so many ways. I highly recommend her to anyone of any age! Kari rocks! read more

This is the best hair place in Orange County. Bina (I think that's spelled right) is the best in my opinion, but everyone is nice. read more

Been going here since I was little! Absolutely love the way Bina (the owner) cuts my hair!!! She does the best job!!! Everyone check Headlines out! read more

This is a very nice, clean salon with talented stylists and hospitable staff. Sebastian is the very best hair stylist in Southern California. Once you have had your hair done by him, you will never want anyone else to touch your hair. It's been over a year now, and I'm still blown away every time. His coloring is perfection! He should be charging twice as much for his amazing work - but I'm so glad he doesn't! A great hairdresser that makes you look your very best! read more

I purchased about $100.00 worth of hair products last week and came back to the salon to exchange a $6.00 item and was told that there are no returns or exchanges very rudely by the owner, Bina. I have never been treated so disrespectfully by any business owner. Later that day my stylist called me to say that Bina will now exchange my product. Apparently, Bina is quite moody and will take her aggression out on her customers. Do not go to this salon unless you want to put up with an owner that is very moody and very rude. She also treats her stylists horribly. I will not enter her salon again! read more

I am satisfied with the service Stephanie provides me each & every single time. She honestly tells me if a particular service I asks will ruin my hair & instead takes care of my hair like her own. My hair looks a lot healthier since she became my stylist. She also values my time by texting/calling me if there's a problem w/ our schedules- that's what PROFESSIONALISM is! read more

Great salon! I stopped a lady in the mall to ask where she got her hair cut. LINDA at Headlines! I am now a steady customer. LINDA always makes time in her schedule for me -- whether for a cut or for highlights and cut. LINDA is always eager to hear my ideas, suggestions or questions and then she will provide her expert opinion and suggestions for my hair type. She does fabulous work and I'm always pleased with my hair when she's finished performing her magic. I get bored with the same old thing all the time and LINDA is always happy to change or tweak on my whim. As a new resident in Orange County it took a long, long time to find the perfect hair stylist. LINDA is it! I highly and wholeheartedly recommend her! read more

Finding a hairdresser who can advise you on a hair style that will be right for your hair type, face shape and skin coloring and be honest about it is not an easy task. It can take a lot of wasted time, money and patients. Avoid all these by having Linda help you make these decisions. She can help with all other aspects of beauty because she continues to educate herself on the subject. She has a great personalty and is a fun person to know. You'll look forward to your appointments with her. Ramona J. read more

Stephanie Brown is just the best! She totally cares about your hair as well as exudes positive energy as soon as you walk in the salon. She has been taking care of my hair for 5 years now and I owe the beauty of my hair to her. Not only that she'll recommend you the right hair products to use, she'll also get it for you! What are you waiting for? Schedule your appointment now with Stephanie. read more

Just had my hair colored and styled by Stephanie Brown, and as always, I was very satisfied. She knows exactly what color and cut would be a perfect fit, which makes it really easy for me. Her patience and attention to details is amazing. I have been consistently happy with Stephanie's service. Highly recommend!!! read more

I have never had a worse experience at a hair salon in my life. Bina did a horrible job and left color all over my hairline and ears. She was late for her apt and colored me way too dark. What a mess! read more

Kari Musick has been my number one go to for my hair for years! She is amazing and knows what shes doing! We've done it all, highlights, lowlights, red, brown, multi color and solid color! I can never make up my mind and I'm constantly changing colors and styles on her and nothing I throw her way she can't handle. She gives me exactly what I want and I always leave feeling beautiful. She's extremely educated with her colors and her cuts are great. I've been going to Kari for about 3 years now and I have not been disappointed once. She's amazingly kind, her schedule is flexible and you can't beat a stylist that's a color expert who knows what they are doing and is able to deliver what you want. She comes highly recommended by anyone who sees her. I've recommended her to many of my friends and family who have then gone on to spread the word. TRUST ME, she's who you want to trust with your color and cut!!! You won't be sorry!!! read more

Stephanie Brown was awful. No professionalism at all. No calls returned and 35 minutes late for appointment. Her color was the worst I have ever seen and the cut was uneven. DO NOT let these people touch your hair. Shame on you for doing such an uncaring job. read more
