This review is long overdue! I've been going to Ryan for about four years now, and I seriously…read morecan't recommend him enough. He's always super flexible with scheduling, and every time I leave, I love my hair. My color always looks natural, grows out beautifully, lasts a long time, and I get compliments on it all the time. Even after moving across the country, I still make it a point to book an appointment with Ryan whenever I'm home because I trust him. He's always been so accommodating, even with my unpredictable schedule. I've recommended him to friends and family over the years, and now both my mom and sister go to him too. If you're looking for someone who's talented, reliable, and genuinely cares about his clients, I definitely recommend Ryan.

I'm honestly surprised this salon isn't as talked about on social media as I had to scour a few platforms to find out about this place. Just gorgeous and affordable!

I've gone to Allen five times now solely for haircuts, and there's a reason I keep coming back…read more It's surprisingly hard to find a stylist who truly excels at cutting hair, especially when most social media and Yelp pages focus almost entirely on color services. Allen is incredibly detail-oriented, and I leave happy with my haircut every single time. I originally planned to grow out my bob after dyeing my hair dark brown from blonde, but I hated the awkward in-between length, so I went back to Allen to refresh it instead. I'm so glad I did. His pricing is very reasonable, and his cutting technique really shows his expertise. Highly recommend booking with him. Thank you, Allen! I'll see you again in a few months, because I've officially decided to keep my hair short for a bit longer :)

This is my second time going to Moc Hair Studio and I didn't want to write this so I could gate…read morekeep Allen and his amazing work but I'm just so happy I finally found someone who can get me EXACTLY what I show with inspo pics. The first time I went to Allen was actually to fix my hair from my previous hair person. I was almost in tears because my hair was orange literally the week after I got it done and dropped so much money. my hair felt so dry and looked like I havent gotten my hair done in a year. I tried to tell myself it doesn't look that bad but the more I looked at it, the more upset I got. So I was looking for someone on yelp to help me fix this and came across Moc Hair Studio. The reviews were great and although I was nervous I couldn't stand to look at my hair anymore the way it was so I took the leap of faith and gave it a try. Allen was so informative and let me know what exactly my previous hair person did to make it look like that. He explained what he will do to fix it and throughout the entire process I could tell how meticulous he was. I felt like I was in good hands and after he was done, my hair looked like what I wanted it to look like in the first place!! I was so impressed with his work that I decided the next time I needed my hair done I'm coming back. Fast forward to yesterday.. I wanted a change with my hair so I decided to go back to Allen and see what magic he could work. I wanted to try something a bit different from what I usually go for and I knew Allen could do it but from previous trauma of going to the same person multiple times and never getting exactly what I wanted, I was still scared. Again he calmed my nerves by taking his time and making sure everything looked perfect. I've never been to anyone before where I felt like I was his only customer ever by the way he was taking second third and even fourth looks to make sure the color is right, the hair is even on both sides, and the hair is healthy and not damaged!! I am once again blown away with his work and I cannot recommend him enough!! Thank you so much Allen!!

It's been about a month since my appointment, and I'm still so happy with the results. I called the salon hoping they might have a same-day opening, and to my surprise, they were able to get me in within 30 minutes! From the moment I walked in, everyone was welcoming and professional. Charlie was absolutely incredible. He took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted, offered helpful advice, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the appointment. His attention to detail and talent really show, and my hair turned out even better than I imagined. I've received so many compliments since then! It's not often you find someone who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely kind and passionate about their work. If you're looking for a stylist who truly cares about making you look and feel your best, I can't recommend Charlie and HYD K Hair Salon enough. Thank you for such a wonderful experience--I can't wait to come back!

I would rather drive to this salon in Irvine than go to ANY Asian salon in K-Town, Sawtelle, or Torrance.

I showed my stylist the cut I wanted and expressed the length I wanted as well. She suggested to make it longer and I agreed, surely she had the best intentions in mind. I wanted layers and walked out with a long bob. My stylist was too scissor happy. She hacked it all off in 15 minutes. The shaping is atrocious and its way shorter than I had originally expressed. She had cut 6 inches of my hair off and looked regretful at the end. Even her coworker was expressing in Korean how short it was. My hair is a mess and it's too short now to be saved. Yet, I still had to pay a whooping $90 for it. The owner of the business also seems to be gaslighting and bullying anyone who gives them a negative review on here. I will not be recommending anyone nor will I be returning.

Will be recommending all my friends to her.

I rarely write Yelp reviews, but I had to share this amazing find…read more I'm incredibly loyal when it comes to my hair, so when I find someone I trust, I stick with them. I know my family and I will be going to Aldo for years to come. Before finding Aldo, I was going to a well-known, high-end salon on PCH in Newport Beach. Somewhere along the way, they stopped listening to what I wanted. My hair always looked great when I walked out of the salon, but the moment I washed it myself, I realized the cut just wasn't right. Either it wasn't a good cut, or it simply didn't suit my face. I'm a busy person--I don't have time to spend every morning styling my hair just to make a haircut work. I spent weeks researching salons on Yelp and probably overthought the whole process before finally making an appointment with Aldo. From the moment I walked in, I knew I had found the right person. He's genuine, straightforward, and refreshingly honest--no fluff, no sales pitch, just someone who truly cares about doing great work. The salon has such a fun, welcoming energy, and it's obvious everyone genuinely enjoys working together. Aldo took the time to really listen. We talked at length about what I had liked--and more importantly, what I hadn't liked--about previous cuts. He looked through my inspiration photos, explained what would realistically work with my hair, and was honest about what would and wouldn't flatter my face shape. I appreciated that he didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear. I loved my haircut the day I left the salon, but the real test came after I washed and styled it myself. It still looked fantastic. That's when I knew I'd found my hairstylist. I've since gone back for both cuts and color, and every visit has been just as great. My 14-year-old daughter is also incredibly particular about her hair. She's been to Aldo twice now and has made it very clear that he's the only person she'll let touch her hair. That's about the highest compliment a teenager can give! We're so grateful we found Aldo and the magic he works with our hair. If you're spending hours researching salons like I did, save yourself the time--just book the appointment. I don't think you'll regret it.

Jessie made sure with me throughout the appointment if I was okay with what she had recommended. She knew exactly where she wanted to start my layers and even took the time to show me how to style my hair on my own as well! At the previous hair salon they would thin out my hair so so much. Yes, it did feel lighter but often times I'd leave the appointment feeling as though they had thinned it out way too much. Jessie made sure not to thin it and even told me herself since I already had thin wavy hair it was best to avoid that. She mainly focused on using scissors rather than thinning blades to give me the layers I've wanted. Results came out amazing and I did not leave worried about how much hair I may have lost. The hairstyle she gave me is very easy to maintain as well as she assured me it would look fine as it grows out as well. So excited to go back and try out maybe a different style of bangs with her! Overall my experience with her was amazing, she was sweet, also had a nice little Korean drama on for me to watch. I tend to yap and she made sure to have some small talk while focusing on the haircut. It was my first time going into a salon where it's just me and the stylist and now I CANNOT have it any other way. The amount of attention she gave ensuring everything was cut to her standards was very much appreciated. Highly recommend Jessie if you're looking for someone who will take her time with you!

I want to gate keep her so bad but her skills and attention to detail needs to be shared. I always have a calm and peaceful experience at her studio. She has such a sweet and easygoing personality.
