Her prices are fair, and I think she goes above and beyond the given price point too. My haircut consistently results in what I ask for, even when I change it up. She moves swiftly and skillfully. I can always expect her to be kind and thoughtful in all of our interactions. She genuinely cares about her clients and curates such a welcoming and safe environment in her salon. It's been an extreme pleasure getting to know her. I only hope she continues to increase her clientele so others can see how great of a hairstylist AND person she is!

Since her regular hairstylist was away on vacation, I decided to look for someone new nearby in Irvine and came across Lily's Salon on Yelp. After reading all the glowing reviews, I had high hopes and I can honestly say every single one was true. Lily was incredibly kind, sweet, and so patient with my daughter. From the moment we walked in, she made us feel comfortable and cared for. What surprised me most was hearing my daughter say she likes Lily even more than the hairstylist she's been going to for the past year! That alone says everything. I'll definitely be recommending Lily to all my family and friends. Thank you, Lily, for such a wonderful experience, we're already looking forward to seeing you again next month!

I went to Nana for the very first time and all I can say is, 10/10. This is the best haircut I have…read moreever had. Nana is very detail oriented. She even had my reference photo open the whole time for accuracy. I will say, I was a bit timid during my appointment and that just because I have really bad first time anxiety, but Nana was very kind and welcoming. She asked me questions and gave great suggestions throughout the whole process. My hairstyle is so versatile and fun to style. The best part, how even my hair is on both sides. That was the cherry on top. I'll definitely be coming back. Thank you for boosting my confidence, Nana.

Went to Nana for a balayage and she is the most detail-oriented, thoughtful stylist I have been to…read morein my years of trying different stylists. Her technique is also a true balayage that blends seamlessly and gives hair wonderful dimension, and I'm impressed by her ability to lighten hair in one setting then toning to get Asian hair to a more ashy, cool-toned since Asian black-brown hair tends to pull red/orangey by nature. You can see her work on instagram @hair_by_na_na She uses super quality products too like schwarzkopf and olaplex. I left with my hair feeling really soft and healthy despite the bleaching. I also like hearing from stylists what they recommend as maintenance. She was very thorough and detailed with her aftercare tips! - No shampooing for 3 days (she said water only is ok - not too cold or hot). This allows the cuticles to close while the color is getting deposited into your hair. - Start using a purple shampoo in 3 weeks to help keep brassiness at bay. - Use sulfate-free colored hair friendly shampoo/conditioner like Pureology. - Use something like Olaplex or K18 to keep hair strong and healthy. - In 2 months, come back for toning to refresh color. My balayage and cut took about 4.5 hours. Nana and Sean work together with the foiling and painting so it speeds things up. She provided a Fiji water and there's a little basket of snacks there too that you can munch on while she does her thing.

I am always nervous about cutting my hair short because with my natural curls, the shape of my hair cut matters and I had a hard time finding someone who KNOWS how to cater to my preferred shape. Linh again took the time to listen to my wants, needs, and concerns and she DELIVERED ON THE CUT/SHAPE. My naturally curly hair is shaped perfectly with minimal styling effort. I am so happy!!

Valet is apparently free, but I found street parking in front of OSPI. I initially found SAGE on Yelp, then visited their website to learn more before booking. I really appreciated how transparent they are. Each stylist has a profile with a bio and a picture. The services and individual pricings are listed upfront in the booking portal, which made it easy to choose someone who fit what I was looking for. Price transparency is important to me, and at the very end I was charged exactly what I booked. My stylist was Mikayla, and she was incredibly meticulous/detail-oriented. She spent about 4.5 hours perfecting my Full Highlights, and I never felt like she was rushing through any part of the process. During the consultation, I felt heard. She listened to what I wanted without any judgment or pressure to steer me toward a different outcome. Instead, the conversation felt collaborative, with explanations that helped me make informed decisions. I know for some, having to chat for all that time may be daunting. Mikayla struck the perfect balance between friendly conversation and giving me space. She clearly communicated each step of the process before doing it. My Full Highlights service included foiling, toning, a shadow root, a hair mask, and a full blowout. I'm so happy with how everything turned out!

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 did not get the honey blonde color I originally wanted because she wanted to protect my hair from further damage. But I loved my brighter honey brown color. She dyed (babylights/balayage), cut, styled my hair and took her sweet old time of 6 hours. I appreciated that she did not rush, heard all of what I needed to say, and is very experienced with cutting hair. She is my stylist going forward. If you book with her, you won't regret the service or the results. The only thing if I nitpick, is she only accepts cash, zelle, or venmo. So, please come aware unlike me as I always use credit cards for rewards points/cashback.
