    Another great experience with Hiro. I cannot recommend her highly enough- she does a great job and is meticulous. For haircuts and straightening she is the best!

    My hair has been getting out of control and frizzy so I decided to get a perm. Im glad I did because Hiro made my hair feel so sleek and healthy! I have had a couple permanent straightening work done before but this has been the best experience so far! My hair is on the wavy frizzy side and I love the results that i received from the perm after My experience was comfortable and relaxing! I will be back again~

    This is my second time going to Hiro, and I have to say that she does quality work. The first time I went to have my hair permanently straightened, my hair was completely fried. Hiro was a magician and completely revived my hair! She uses a product which she calls hair Botox, which fills in the holes of the broken hydrogen bonds from the straightening treatment. I am truly grateful to find Hiro! FYI, her prices are on the higher end, but she's honest with her pricing and I believe it's worth it!

    Hiro's the one for your hair needs & she actually cares about your hair health. I've been doing yuko straightening for over 5 years now, and I was hooked. But I noticed my hair was getting damaged and dry when I went in to do the treatment at my old salon location, reason the is other stylist use to use HEAT and that is forbidden when you do straightening on your hair, that was the reason my hair was damaging. I decided, to try someone else new and boy was I happy I did. Hiro works one on one with you, only does one persons hair at a time. She also does include a haircut in your hair treatment & process. She's excellent. I found her on Yelp & decided to make the move! My hair is healthy and silky. She takes 3.5-4 hours for the straightening treatment & she also has products like olaplex that is offered discounted. Worth it! She's booked a month out. So text her to find her availability. It's worth the wait. Texting is the best way to communicate with her and she's prompt on returning her messages she also gives you quote prior so You can estimate how much you'll be paying. Lots of parking. Located in Irvine, off culver right next to Target & Happy nails. I like how it's not a huge salon it's separate rooms.

    Circa 2019. A few years ago, Hiro cut my hair. I donated 10 inches to Locks of Love. I'm growing my hair to do it again...

    Wow, time flies. I've been going to Hiro for almost a decade. An updated Yelp review is long overdue! I first found Hiro on Yelp just after my mom passed away from cancer. I asked Hiro to cut my hair so I could donate 10 inches to Locks of Love in memory of my mom. Then, a few years later, I donated again. I will donate again as soon as my hair is long enough. Today, January 19, 2021, I saw Hiro for just a trim. Besides the hair cuts and trims, Hiro is the best stylist in town for Japanese Hair straightening (Thermal Reconditioning). She has over 30 years of experience in Japanese hair straightening, digital perms, cuts and hair coloring. What I love about Japanese Hair Straightening is that it creates a shiny, soft and sleek style; best of all, it's low maintenance. I literally can wash my hair and go. No flat iron, no blow-drying. Hair remains straight when wet and stays frizz-free when humid. My hair always feels so soft as though it's had a collagen boost - well, that's what he said, haha. *wink* Kidding. In all seriousness, it's great for people like me who are always "on the go." It saves me time which I love because working boss bishes like me don't have time or the patience for beauty. Lol. If there's one Asian stereotype we're all very familiar with, it's Asian hair - that all Asian women have the same kind of hair... straight, black, and very sleek. I'm Asian. My hair is isn't straight or sleek. Thick? Yes, my hair is thick AF and gets frizzy AF. LOL. The secret is out! A lot of women like me turn to various hair straightening treatments like Brazilian Blowouts and Japanese Hair Straightening to permanently flatten out the frizziness to a sleek shine. So Brazilian Blowout versus Japanese Hair Straightening? Well, I've had the Brazilian Blowout it doesn't last long, maybe 3-4 months and it left my hair frizzy as it grew out. I also learned that Brazilian blowouts use formaldehyde which is a known carcinogen so I never got another Brazilian Blowout. Note: If your hair has been colored or received other chemical treatments, you're at a higher risk of damaging your hair with thermal reconditioning like Japanese Hair Straightening. (Read my previous Yelp Review). An experienced stylist like Hiro will be able to let you know if your hair is a good candidate for Japanese Hair Straightening. The permanent treatment will last any where from 6 to 12 months. Be warned... Japanese Hair Straightening is a long, labor-intensive process... it will take a few hours.... but it's worth every minute and penny! Trust me and believe me because I've had the cheapo straightening perms that cost around $100 and they freaking suck and ruined my hair. That said, the process of labor of love and amazing results don't come cheap. It's pricey AF. It depends on your hair length and type, but expect to pay between $400 and $500+. It's best to pick a salon and stylist based on experience rather than price. Hiro is professional, friendly and sweet. She is always busy and is booked out weeks/months in advance. She cuts kids' and mens' hair, as well. What I love most about Hiro is that she's honest... she will tell you straight up - just read my previous Yelp review. She made me wait 6-8 months for my first Japanese Hair straightening. I won't go anywhere else or trust anyone else with my hair! If you're looking for the best hair stylist in town, look no further than Hiro's Style!

    I came to Hiromi for a hair cut 6 months ago and loved it. She gave me long layers. I came back for the Japanese straightening due to my frizzy hair. I also had it cut the same day. My hair is so shiny and easy to manage. I really love it.

    Japanese hair straightening. Super shiny. Hair is healthy and looking great. Love it
    Ornela T.

    Hiro knows hair. I found her on yelp and gave it a go. I've had the Japanese straightening done many times. She's awesome, super meticulous and cares about hair and the quality of the hair. Uses great products. If you're looking for a Japanese hair straightening service, I recommend her. I will use her services from now on!

    Hiro changed my life with the Japanese Hair Straightening! I've always struggled with my thick, wavy hair and it was extremely damaged from years of heat tools when I came to her. Her work is truly unmatched. She puts so much effort into repairing the hair before treatment and also puts an emphasis on preventing more damage during. You will not find this luxury with anyone else who does hair straightening. I am so lucky I found Hiro and I will never EVER let anyone else straighten my hair!!

Sometimes I bring a picture for inspiration, and other times I just say "whatever you recommend" and he just does stuff. He tends to pick very flattering, naturalish looks (vs. some other places I've been that are more trend-oriented), but at this point as a natural dark brunette, I've come out with a variety of different brown balayage options, a pretty reddish brown, and an almost black color, and all have looked very healthy and pretty. I like that he's able to give me some variety without damaging it and without suggesting anything that would look bad on me. I have a little gray spot and he does a great job blending it with the highlights so that I don't have to do permanent color. Vibe is very casual and the prices are inexpensive for the area. He is a very honest businessman and will tell you up front if he doesn't think a look is going to be feasible. One time I wanted to go lighter and he lifted the color for a bit, tested it and showed me, went a little longer with no change and let me know that was my limit so that I wouldn't get breakage. He's very professional in conversation topics, keeping it friendly but without anything stressful. I feel safe and comfortable coming here. Overall, I definitely recommend this place and Ryan in particular.

During the appointment, the stylist made several comments that felt unnecessary, judgmental, and uncomfortable. Instead of feeling listened to as a client, I felt dismissed and pressured. A salon appointment should feel professional and respectful, especially when the client is paying several hundred dollars for a service. I also did not feel that my concerns were handled with care during the appointment. I felt uncomfortable continuing, but at the time I did not know how to address it directly. Looking back, I wish I had asked to speak with a manager before the service continued. For a salon charging this price point, I expected a much more respectful and customer-centered experience. Clients should not leave feeling upset, uncomfortable, or regretful after paying over $300. I hope management takes feedback like this seriously and provides better training on communication, professionalism, and how to handle client concerns during a service. Based on this experience, I would not return.

I appreciate that she checks in with me to see if I'm happy with the progress at each stage of the cut. I will make the drive from SD just to see her.

I had just moved to the area again and wanted to find a hairstylist during my time here. I read a review that said she'll let you know her honest opinion and I'm so glad because for me personally, I would hate it if I came in wanting something and the hairstylist thinks it's ugly (but is quiet about it) and I walk out feeling regretful that I wanted to try xyz lol. My first haircut came out nicely after we chatted about what I wanted and what she thinks would look best, and she recommended me a brown I should try in the future. Today is that future time. It's my second time here! I came in knowing vaguely what I wanted (Some sort of lighter brown with bangs since I had black hair with no bangs lol). We chatted and then I simply trusted the process. She ended up giving me curtain bangs that can also be a little wispy also, and cut my hair to a length that looked soooo good. There was so much attention to detail when she was cutting too. It was great. For the color, she said that a lighter color might not actually look the best on me and a subtle brown might be better! I was pretty down for whatever she thought looked good so I trusted the process again. Let me tell you... this subtle brown looked so good with the cut. Also, my hair? Soft as HECK. It was kinda gritty before so I was shook when I touched my hair after the appt. She chatted with me lots and also gave me space too. It was a great balance and also she answered my questions!! I always have so many questions and she answered them all for me!! Including... how to style my hair because I suck at those things. I'll take any advice and tips I can get. Price is reasonable for OC too! TLDR; I walked in with messy hair that made me look dead inside and walked out with softer dyed hair AND styling knowledge. If that isn't a win, I don't know what is.

After reading the positive reviews and looking at the photos of their work, I decided to give this salon a try. The salon itself is very small, and there really isn't a waiting area for family members. Since my daughter doesn't drive, I had to wait in my car and drive around the area while she was inside. It would be nice if they had a small space for parents or companions to wait. Unfortunately, the haircut was the biggest disappointment. I showed a reference photo, but the final result looked nothing like it. If the stylist wasn't comfortable doing that particular cut, I would have appreciated the honesty upfront. I would have gladly gone somewhere else rather than have a haircut that didn't turn out as requested. The front was noticeably uneven, the hair flared out in an odd way, and the bangs were poorly cut. I ended up having to fix the bangs myself at home. I paid $90 for the haircut, plus a $10 tip, for a total of $100. For that price, I expected much better. My advice would be that if a stylist isn't confident they can achieve a requested haircut, it's better to be honest from the beginning. Customers will appreciate that honesty much more than leaving with a haircut they're unhappy with.
