    Best Newport spot for hair! Look for Brooke, she's incredible with color. All other stylists tho know what's good!

    I recently started coming to Holiday Salon because the girl who has been cutting and coloring my hair for the past few years moved here. So naturally, I followed her! Amber Peterson is a phenomenal hair stylist - she works wonders with her ability to color, highlight, and transform hair. It truly is a talent. She always gives her honest opinion but always listens to what her customers want. She helps you find the perfect style and/or color to suit you and your appearance. Amber does extraordinary work! As for the Holiday Salon itself, it's convenient location in the heart of Costa Mesa off 17th Street is nice. There's plenty of parking! The salon is very modern and well kept. The staff was friendly and offered me beverages - they made the whole experience wonderful. So if you're looking for a new salon or stylist, I'd highly recommend Amber at Holiday Salon.

    Treat yo self! At Holiday! Warning - parking can be a little crazy on the weekends because Plum is next door and you know how people get with their brunch. I've always managed to find a spot a little deeper in the lot tho. Valet is available on the weekends I believe. This space is uber cute. Love the industrial lighting and the cute hairdryers and brushes in the bathroom. Go see Sarah! She is super sweet/bubbly/cute and definitely knows what she's doing. She's been doing hair almost her whole life, so her passion and creative sense really sparkles when she sits you in her chair. I've never left disappointed. And she is always on time! Hurry... Make an appt! :)

    Just some previews of Amber Dawn Peterson's work!!

    I just started going to Holiday salon but only bc my FAVORITE hairstylist just started working there!! And you're in luck because she is available for new bookings and clients! But hurry up before she is completely booked for the holidays!!! Amber Dawn Peterson is extremely talented from balayage to bobs, she does it all! I can always count on her for a quick and easy pick me up when I feel like I'm in a complete hair rut! She really understands her clients' visions and will go above and beyond to ensure they leave her chair feeling even better about their look than before!! Seriously...request her before it's too late!! You WON'T regret it!

    Beautiful red/brown balayage done by Kassie C. :)

    First time doing balayage and it came out PERFECT! I found out about this place because Kassie happened to walk into the store I work at. I was a bit hesitant to get my balayage done at a salon I've never been to, but the result ended better than expected. Kassie is super nice and reassures perfection even if it might not appear so at the moment. She clarified the color with me multiple times to rid of any miscommunication. In the end, I walked out loving my first balayage and I would highly recommend her! :)

    Kassie Crozer has been doing my hair now for almost a year and she's made my hair the healthiest and most perfect blonde it's ever been! She does amazing color and cuts and the best blow outs ever! I am spoiled now and only let Kassie do my hair almost every week because she's so good and my blow outs last almost the entire week! She also does my hair for photo shoots and events and it's perfect every-time!! I love Holiday Salon as well. It is full of amazing stylists and a great vibe and experience.

    I had such a great experience at SAGE, especially with Colby!…read more From the moment I arrived, everyone was welcoming and the salon itself is beautiful. Colby really took the time to listen to what I wanted and understood exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to keep my long hair while adding movement and shape, and he absolutely nailed it. My hair finally looks the way I had envisioned. Beyond his talent, he was incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout the appointment. Before I left, he even let me know that if there was anything I'd like adjusted after living with the haircut for a few days, he'd be happy to take care of it. That level of care and attention really stood out. I'm so glad I found both SAGE and Colby. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a stylist who truly listens and delivers.

    I really wanted to love this salon because I was happy with my haircut and was excited to finally…read morefind a good local place. Unfortunately, the color experience completely changed that. I came in asking for a rich brown. Instead, I left with a very noticeable red/orange band across the top of my head that doesn't blend with the rest of my hair. I never asked for red hair, and the result is nothing like what I requested. Before I left the salon, after my hair was styled, I pointed out the banding because I could tell something looked off. I was told it looked fine, so I trusted the stylist's professional judgment. Looking back, I wish my concerns had been taken more seriously. I left for a planned trip to Europe shortly after my appointment, so I wasn't able to come back immediately. However, as soon as I returned, I repeatedly tried contacting my stylist and left multiple messages. I never received a response. When I finally spoke with the salon, I expected them to stand behind their work and correct the color. Instead, I was told I would have to pay again for an all-over color to fix a result that wasn't what I had asked for in the first place. At this point, I'll likely have to go to another salon for a professional color correction. Between what I already paid here and what it will cost to fix, I'm out around $500 or more. If achieving a rich brown on my hair wasn't something they were confident they could do, I wish they had been upfront about that before starting the service. I would have appreciated that honesty far more than ending up with a color I didn't ask for and an expensive correction process.

I would go visit someone based on multiple sourced reviews, only to be disappointed. This time around, I went to Reddit. Matt had replied to a request for a good haircut, providing a link to his cuts. They were unique, reflecting an artsy vibe, instead of the status quo. It was easy to get an appointment. Matt took his time exploring what I wanted and didn't want. Fortunately he has a preference for razor cuts as do I. Respect for a person who doesn't need scissors to shape the cut first. I He brought me a lovely French press as I had missed my morning dose. Matt is personable, making the wait entertaining as the magic took place. So charming,. My hair was cute on the day of the cut, but I did not capture it. The photos are from the next morning. I got exactly what I wanted and LOVE this hair.

Aside from a few highlights around my face and on the top of my head, it didn't look like I had recently had my roots highlights touched up at all. My hair looks grown out as if I had not even had it done. Watch the video and you be the judge. When I brought up my concerns, the owner, I sent her this same video (Emily) explained that this is what the salon considers a partial ROOT highlight touchup. I already had my hair previously bleached . I respect that explanation, but for $240 plus a $50 tip ($290 total), I expected a more noticeable result. She offered to correct it for an additional $50. I'm sharing my experience so others can make an informed decision and have a clear understanding of what this salon considers a partial highlight ROOT service.

I remember feeling extremely nervous the first time I lightened my hair, worried about potential damage. Thao guided me through the entire process and reassured me that she would keep my hair healthy while also making sure it remained low maintenance. Over the years, I've gone from dark to light and back to dark again. Each time, Thao has been incredibly professional and patient. I remember sending her numerous inspiration photos, and she was always honest about what was achievable with my hair. Without causing any damage, she successfully lightened my hair without it ever becoming brassy. Keep in mind when you go light, you have to get it toned and maintain your hair or it could potentially get brassy. Thao is very personable and always makes me feel welcomed and comfortable--like she's not just my hairstylist but also my therapist. I constantly get compliments on my cut and color, thanks to her. Whether it's your first time getting your hair done or you've been coloring it for years and need someone new you can trust, I highly recommend Thao! Hair Society recently relocated and is now at Tomahawk Salon, located at 775 West 17th St, Costa Mesa, CA 92627.

I went to her in October for a refresh of my highlights. I was already nervous, since my previous stylist had moved away and always took great care of my fine hair, making sure it never got damaged. I told Caitlyn upfront that I was anxious about letting someone new bleach my hair, given a history of stylists frying it, and that I chose her specifically because she's a senior stylist. She reassured me she doesn't use heat dryers and starts with a low developer, so my hair would be fine. Once I was in the chair, I explained exactly what I wanted: a little brighter, a refresh of all my highlights, but keeping the dark root and dimension shown in my before photo. She agreed and got started. She never mentioned pricing, so I assumed it would be around $400 at most. During the appointment, she suggested going through my ends because they looked dark. I said maybe next time, since I wanted to preserve the integrity of my hair. Later, she mentioned she'd gone ahead and done a few extra pieces at the bottom anyway something I never asked for. By the time she finished washing my hair, it was already dark outside, so I told her not to worry about blow-drying it. I went home with wet hair. Even then, it looked extremely blonde, which worried me, but I assumed it was just because it was wet. At checkout, I was shocked: the total came to $650. I left a tip anyway because she was watching the screen as I paid and I felt put on the spot. (Receipts attached.) When I got home, my husband immediately said my hair looked way too blonde and pointed out broken pieces. He was right. Over the next few days, it kept breaking. My hair had taken years to get healthy, and in one appointment it became dry, brittle, and was falling out. The extra strands she did without asking only made the breakage worse. I ended up buying box dye to fix the color myself, since I hated how it looked. As of June 2026, I've had to cut at least 8 inches off, and I'm still working to repair the damage. This experience caused me real distress -- I loved my hair, and I deeply regret trying a new stylist. I'm sharing this so it doesn't happen to anyone else. Before, after, and current photos are attached.

She recommended that I should focus on treating and restoring my hair first, and then come back next time for coloring so the results would look better and healthier.
