I drove half an hour to see Kenny for the first time and I absolutely love his work esthetic. He's polite, clean and talented. The moment you walk into the salon you feel relax. Unlike many salon that will overly crowded, Kenny only accept appointments only. He said he take 1-2 appointments/day. He will give all the attention to your need. He listen to you and tell you what to expect. Hair coloring is different from person to person. It varies in result based on the type of hair, darkness, current color and etc. Someone will come in and disappoint if you don't actually understand the basic of that. He spent almost 4 hrs to get me the perfect balayage and the best part is my hair feel soft and still healthy. Not too dry. He taking his time to show me product he used. Not to sell me but he educated me on how to properly taking care of my hair and my color. I definitely will come back to him. read more

Owner is mean, entitled and unprofessional. Also, don't dye your hair here. I came in for a light brown balayage and came out with black hair. I wasn't happy with the results and asked if Lay (the hairdresser) could make it more like the picture I showed him. He got mad and said it would lighten after a few washes. I asked if I could come into the salon again to get it fixed if it didn't lighten like he said. He got really mad at this point and now said that this was what I asked for and that the hair was actually light brown (Just take a look at the pictures for yourself). Then, he was cursing in Vietnamese (I can understand him lol) and said "this was a waste of time". This bs costed me $300 in cash and just left me with brassy/black dried out hair. Save your time and cash and DONT GO HERE First pic is what I asked for. Second pic is what I got. read more

Ken does not even deserve a star, I'm beyond pissed with his unprofessionalism. My mother had an appointment today April 24 at noon, she had contacted him through his personal number. We live about 2 hours away from his buisness. My mother called and tried to contact him and we waited 10 minutes after her initial time. No word from him or anything, even if he cuts good its not worth giving him your money/support. read more

Lay is very personable...he can engage and you will definitely have a blast just chatting with him. It appeared that he is very well known in the Vietnamese community, especially among singers. Therefore, booking can be difficult...you cannot do a walk-in for sure. Product wise...I have never been to a salon that the dye is as good as here. Why the 4 stars. It is due to the price. Price was not clear...and since there is no sign nor website that indicates the price, you just have to pay whatever is indicated at the end of service...expect to pay a hefty price for your service. Indeed, you do get what you pay for (quality of dye) but it may be not worth it if you touch up on your roots very frequently. I was charged $120ish (not including tip) for a little trim and root touch up. read more

First time coming here...love love it! Thank you a Nathan Will be back for sure Great customer service!!! read more

Keeping looking for another salon !!!!!! Had an appointment to get my hair done yesterday with Ken. I found him and sent a deposit through Instagram. I showed him MANY pictures of what I wanted which was a wine/burgundy balayage while already having a balayage. He kept trying to get me to do layers in my hair saying what I had already looked boring and basic. I insisted I was ok and happy with my BASIC/BORING look. After he washed the color out my hair I knew it was NOT WHAT I WANTED. I told him it was pink and he tried his hardest to convince me it was red. He dried it and it showed up more pink.... Ofc !!!. I asked him if he can make it darker so it can be red, he gave me attitude and got annoyed and said no. I asked if he had something else he said no . I am 3 weeks postpartum and wanted to look/feel good. He told me I have to get used to the hair or if I didn't like it that much to get coloring conditioning mask to change the color of it. I get home and I just can't stop looking at my hair confused as to whether I'm color blind or I just got played into really thinking I was just seeing my hair pink because of lighting. I messaged him asking for a refund as Im going to get it fixed somewhere else and it continued to go downhill from there. HE WAS SO DAMN RUDE ! He did not give me a refund so I'm out 450 and have terribly damaged bright pink hair. DO NOT GO HERE ! read more

If I could put no stars I would ! DM ken on Instagram because I wanted to get balayage done , my hair is brown and I have went that color before so I know it's possible to do . He was very rude and he doesn't even care . He said cosmetology school can do it when knowing we're not professionals there and it be better to get it done at an actual salon . Please do not go to him , I am going to try to contact someone higher up and get this man in trouble ! This is not how you treat people . read more

Lets see where to start with KEN. He loves to call woman the B word because clients leave due to him BEING 40 minutes late, has aggressive behavior, everything is unprofessional honestly .... I wouldn't do my hair here even if he was the last person on earth. If you want a reliable, professional, and friendly human being go elsewhere. Disgusting behavior on his end. read more

I have been a client of Lay for over 15 years. I have been following him to couple of different places. Now he owns this contemporary space which is very chic and clean and I can enjoy his amazing talent whenever I need a cut, color, makeup etc. I drive a long distance for my appointments but believe me it's worth the drive. He is talented and honest and I recommend him to everyone. read more

It's hard to find a hair stylist that you can talk to. Chu Lay is a genius, each time I go to him I am left with the most fabulous hair. I travel a great amount for the best things such as food but traveling to OC to get my hair done is one of them! Not only is he kind and patient but he is extremely talented. I'm so happy with my hair! He uses products that nourishes your hair. The color formulas that he uses does not have a smell to it. I appreciate how he's able to accommodate my schedule! Overall, he is my go-to when I need to get my hair cut. I highly recommend him to get your next hair cut! read more

I been go to him for 10 years. He always does excellent hair cut. Recently I went someone else for color, highlights and then i came to him for hair cut. He was so mad at me because I went somewhere else for highlights. He criticized me. He lectured me . Bad attitude. Very rude.Acting very unprofessional. I'm very disappointed of him. The relationship for 10 years through to trash. read more

The best of the best. I love his skills. Everywhere else where I used to go, the hair color makes my scalp burn and itch. His products don't give that problem and it smells good. I love getting my hair done here and will come back in the future. Not only that, he is an amazing make up artist. He is the hairstylist of choice for Vietnamese celebrities. On top of everything the service here is excellent. He takes his time to take care of his clients. It's a chic salon with a wonderful ambiance. read more

If you want to be called a bitch because Ken was late to YOUR appointment, this is the place!!

I have followed Lay to every salon since 1997 and am so happy that he finally opened his OWN salon. Even though I moved to Colorado, I still only go to Lay for both color and cut. I even take my mother to his salon and he treats her with so much respect. Lay Salon is classy, spacious, and everything my hair and heart desires. Lay is beyond talented, he is passionate and honest. read more

My sister & I have been going to Lay for over 20 years. He has great style, a talented hair stylist with excellent skills that I trust whatever he suggests for my hair style and color. Always leave happy and feel glamorous! I have referred Lay to many friends and they too have been with him for 10+ years. He does make up and hair for the Vietnamese famous singers at Thuy Nga Paris Shows. Lay is well known for being one of the best hair stylists and pretty famous himself in the Vietnamese community in Orange County. read more

I got so much compliment with my new hair all thanks to Lay. I don't dye my hair so people rarely notice if I cut my hair or not. But this time, everyone came to me and asked me about my hair. Anh Lay is amazing. He is funny and a great listener. Even chi Thao, the assistant was caring and nice. I love my new hair now and will definitely become his loyal customer. read more

I've been following Lay for 10 years and was so ecstatic that he was finally opening his own salon. The location is perfect, right off the 405 and Magnolia, and the salon itself fits his personality and style. It's elegant and classic with 6 chairs, a separate wash room and a room just for his makeup clients. They offer champagne and a nice waiting area just in case he's busy. I am so happy that he has a place of his own and wish him all the luck in the future. read more

I have been a customer with Lay for over 15 years and have always been on time for my appointments. I had an appointment today I thought was for 11am. At 10:20 I was on my way, I received a text for him stating "you have an appointment with me at 10 now you don't show up". I told him I was on my way. Could I still come? He responded "NO too late. I don't like to and never want to work with late people". I apologized for the inconvenience over and over again. It was a honest mistake I told him. I did not do it on purpose. But he continued to talk to me in a really rude and demeaning tone. I was like is this guy for real?!! This is my first time ever coming late to his appointment and he treats me like this!! This is uncall for and so unprofessional. I have never experienced such bad customer service in my life. So my advice from a longtime customer it is not worth it. He's overpriced and overrated. Save your sanity and go somewhere else with better service. I will definitely not coming back!!! read more

Got hair cut again from Lay today. I was more than happy! Besides his talent is a warm, sweet heart and great sense of humor. Thanks anh Lay so much for the new look you brought me and our conversation today..much appreciated! Youre the best read more

I really love this salon! Calvin has been doing hair for over 20 years but is super new at this location. At first, I wasn't sure if he'd be able to help me but he surprised me beyond my imagination. I've been blonde since highschool and I haven't been able to find a talented enough hairstylist that knows how to deal with toning blonde hair correctly. His products are top of the line and his work speaks for itself. If you're looking for an amazing talented hairstylist for the upcoming holidays make sure you make an appointment since he books pretty fast! Can't wait to go back for my touch up with him! Ask for CALVIN! :) 949-331-3772 read more
