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.

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!

This review took me months to write because reliving it is genuinely upsetting. I want to start by…read moresaying the stylist I saw, Caitlyn, is a sweet person but she destroyed my hair. 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. What really impressed me was her thoughtfulness -- she noticed that my roots had grown out unevenly in color, so she went ahead and blended the color to match the rest of my hair. And she didn't charge me anything extra for it, only for the haircut. You can truly tell that she cares about her clients and takes pride in her work.

I absolutely love Jenn, not only is she so perky I felt like we became instant friends because she is so warm and friendly. I love the salon, it's very clean and modern. I've never had better coloring since going blonde. I've been to many salons in Orange County, and Salon Rouge Is by far the best at high lighting my hair. After a few times just getting highlights, I decided to get extensions. I was nervous because I've always just used clip ins, but I got a beaded weft extensions. The look so natural, and after the first day you don't even feel them in your hair. You wash them and style them as normal, the extensions last about 3 months for me, but I swim and am pretty rough with my hair. They are a little pricy but they are well worth every penny, even my girlfriends can't tell they are extensions because Jenn matches and layers them like a pro. I will for sure be a client for life, she even has her assistant go on coffee and juice runs and has cocktails! :) read more

Jennifer is the consummate professional in hair design, cuts and color - for men and women. I've been going to her for over 6 years now and would not think of changing. I swim laps for exercise, often in pretty chlorinated swimming pools, and she immediately recommended a much better shampoo than I had been using. The change has helped a lot. She also will not let you go until everything looks good to her, and now my own standards are higher because of it. I don't think anyone can match her expertise, or her kind attitude, even if you're late sometimes as I used to be : ) I recommended her without reservation. Jerry B. read more

When I went to see my mom immediately afterwards, my mom looked at me seriously and said "I think that's the best haircut you've ever had in your life". I agree with her. I can even wear my hair naturally wavy now instead of straightening every day. Rene is a genius. He cut my hair beautifully. I will be booking my next appointment with him.

I've had Katie do my hair on multiple occasions because of limited availability with Sean, and she has done just as stunning of a job (and will also bare with you if you're not a conversationalist or a sleep deprived mama like me)! You really cannot go wrong with who you select to do your hair, I just choose whoever is available because I have so much trust in the salon staff! 10 stars if I could :)

She holds the highest standards for quality of hair and service, and she is always consistent. Not only have my extensions lasted so long, but my natural hair is still super healthy and that means a lot to me. I love the confidence I've found since coming here and it's always a fun time. Chloie is bubbly and kind by nature and will spoil you every chance she gets. It's clear she truly cares about her clients. The salon itself is also great! It's easy to find, has plenty of parking right in front. When you walk in, everyone (front desk and hairstylists) smile and greet you and make you feel welcome. Each station has great lighting and is very clean. I'm a forever client here and would highly recommend to anyone :)

At the time I decided to hold off on hair cut to see how the wave would hold. I was told at the time after 14 days a hair cut would be 1/2 price. 9 days later I go into get a hair cut hoping the curl would come back. I was told the hair cut would be $30. needless to say i was disappointed and angry what happened to taking pride in your work what happened to keeping you word. I have gray hair so the assumption is that I am old and do not belong in the salon of young ladies. Well that is to bad. They had no problem taking my money There is no excuse for this horrible service and basic disrespect

I don't leave bad reviews but…read more.. I had an appointment scheduled with Lauren for weeks, and this was going to be my first time seeing her. I was excited to have my hair done for an important event the next day, so I took the day off from work for this appointment. About an hour and a half before my appointment, she canceled last minute saying she was sick, leaving me in a real bind. I don't have many vacation days, and this situation was a major inconvenience and left me feeling pretty upset. To make matters worse, I had reservations even leading up to the appointment. I kept getting notifications from her that my appointment time had changed, which was confusing and unsettling. I had to reach out a few times to figure out what was going on, and it left me feeling uneasy. She said she had no control over technology, but I find it hard to believe that appointments would be altered multiple times without someone manually making those changes.. In hindsight, I wish I had trusted my instincts and not taken the day off. I would be very cautious when booking with Lauren. I understand that unexpected situations come up, but with this being my first experience and so many negative issues occurring, I unfortunately will have to find someone else to do my hair now.

I absolutely love everything that Lauren does. She is such a delight to be around. Always friendly…read moreand very welcoming to everyone she comes in contact with. I've been going to Lauren for a little over a year and not only is my hair the healthiest it's ever been but she listens to my needs and goes above and beyond to make it happen.

I've been watching her install NBR hair for over 2 years. I finally decided to get hair extensions to fill in my frail, lifeless hair. The precise color match, the flawless seems of hair are absolutely perfect. No one knows I have extensions unless I tell them. There is no greater feeling than having full beautiful hair that is flawless. Liz takes her time and I believe she's a perfectionist ! When it comes to extensions trust me you'll want a perfectionist. Invest in yourself ...you matter. There is no hand bag on earth that will give you the feeling that NBR and Liz gave me. Try it.

I was honestly SO nervous about getting it back on track after such a long break away from hair appointments, but Jonnie and Abel got it right back on track in just one session (I'm sorry for how bad I let it get, guys)!

After leaving Europe for NYC and now spending a lot of my time here in OC, I haven't even gotten close to finding ANY stylists in OC that are able to create such gorgeous, natural highlights or blending them in as well as Jonnie just did! Abel finished up with a perfect hair cut and I couldn't be happier! If you're looking for high standards and true hair magic, I would recommend making an appointment with these two!

I also asked for trim of choppy layers which she nailed so well. She is also so knowledgeable of what she had to do to get the tone I was seeking advice on.
