Pros: * Open on Sundays (huge plus for my schedule!) * Quick and friendly response when I reached out via text * Christie did a root touch-up and low-lights that blended beautifully * The blowout was fantastic--smooth with the perfect amount of bounce for my long extensions * Prices are very reasonable for the quality of service I left feeling like my hair looked fresh and healthy. Highly recommend Christie and Magical Shears if you're looking for great color, a gorgeous blowout, and excellent service. I'll definitely be back! read more

You know how nerve racking it can be to go to a new stylist, right? Well, this place not only welcomed me with huge, loving, open arms, but made me feel like family, including the cute puppy Tom! I contacted Magical Shears in a bit of panic, needing a new stylist - really because I waited to long to get me hair updated and the person I usually go to was just too busy. The owner Janelle got back to me within an hour of me texting and sent me to her incredibly talented and very cool stylist, Aly. Aly listened to what I wanted and told me step by step what we were doing, all during the processing. We laughed, we created and we had fun. I'm looking forward to my next visit and highly recommend Aly and Magical Shears to anyone looking for a really stellar hair experience. Thank you ladies - see you soon! read more

Avoid this salon at all costs. There are plenty of other nice salons in the downtown Dana Point district. Horrible service, poorly trained stylists, expensive for the quality. If you do decide to book, make sure you are very clear with them with what you want. In town for business and scheduled a blowout with specific instructions to blow and flat iron straight. I have this done all the time back home and during my travels. Easy request. Not here!! It took 75 minutes, left with frizzy flyaway hair that I needed to straighten myself back at hotel. $65 and my hair looked better before. The kid didn't even know how to blow dry hair. It was bizarre. Texted with owner Janell afterwards. Highly unprofessional. Avoid!!!! read more

I am a Hairstylist as well and I leave my Own Salon to come to Janell. She is amazing and does both my color and extensions! I love Magical Shears! read more

Magical Shears Hair Salon - My hair wakes up like this!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Dana Point, California

Run! They don't know what they're doing with dying and ruined my hair! Had to go to Ulta for my hair to look normal again *UPDATE* The owner messaged me threatening legal action for posting an honest review LOL you have given these independent contractors the opportunity to work in the business thus being a reflection of your hiring judgment! And now you say it's slander? If you must know the lady who did my hair was a red head at the time and has two daughters. She left my hair burnt orange, saying she was able to lift the color to silver but never did and simply ruined my hair. Let this be a warning to all of those who choose to do business with this salon that if you do not like your haircut and dare post about it expect "legal action". read more

My fiancé and I got our haircuts/hairstyles done here before our engagement photos were scheduled for the day. We were mildly panicking because we were worried that we wouldn't be able to find someone good on such short notice on a Monday, when most places are closed. We were so pleasantly surprised by this place. They were so accommodating, having an extra stylist come in for us, and made us feel right at home from the start. The owner/host cut my hair, and she was so sweet and treated us like long time customers. Both our haircuts look fantastic. The experience couldn't have been better. Would highly recommend not only for a great haircut but great, friendly service in a relaxed environment. read more

The best salon! Have been getting my hair done here for the past 8 years and love the results every time. Go here!

Janelle hardy has been my hair "guru" for over 15 years. She has nursed my hair back from medical issues, added extensions, colored and cut my hair with sincere attention. She listens attentively and with concern. Her staff is amazing and we have a ball together. Think "Steel Magnolias " movie scene when the gals go to the salon and end up crying with laughter and joy. A day at Magical Shears is a joy and your hair will thank you ! read more

Thanks great work best hairdressers in town. I should know I'm one !! Very conscientious about hair!!!

Mari is a visionary! I went to her after not having my hair done for 10+ weeks, greys to cover and highlights to match. She not o pay matched them perfectly but she suggested more blonde where my greys typically are and it looks fantastic! read more

I am utterly blown away with this establishment! Janelle worked wonders on my hair. I was treated like family, it was almost like I've been coming to this salon for years. Talk about a warm welcome! She certainly knows what she is doing and she has no problem letting you know what will work out and what wont. She does not try to upsell you, she is transparent and honest. As long as she's in business I will never stop seeing her. The salon is called Magical Shears, I call Janelle Magical Fingers! My hair has finally found a home and I couldn't be more grateful. I love this place! read more

I recently went to have my hair done by Devony Leneker & was pleased to say that she did an amazing job! Not only did she trim my hair, she manage to touch up my roots, covering my greys & get the color I wanted. I am truly amazed & love the location of the salon. Beautiful, quaint & relaxing set up. I was truly in awe. I was pleased with how my hair turned out. When I got home, my son said, "mommy you don't look old anymore.. your hair looks so nice!" (that coming from a 5 year old is priceless LOL) then my finance said oh wow she did that color and cut, looks good!! Thank you Devony for squeezing me in at such short notice to your salon & fulfilling exactly what I wanted for color. You rocked it & a few co-workers have already complimented me on my hair color and style. You did an amazing job. See you in 6 weeks for a retouch and maybe we try another fun color... LOL Thank you Devony & Janell (Love your salon!!!) Marion read more

Sarah is soooo talented with color and cut and knowledge in general that she is always suprising me in one way or another...I absolutely love love love her!!

I just called Genie to schedule and appointment, and I've never spoken to someone who provides service so rude! First of all, she has a Groupon advertised for balayage highlights. My hair is already light, and she explained to me if there's anything else that needs to be corrected it's an extra fee. That's not a problem, I just wanted to schedule an appointment. She went on and on about how it's going to be all these fees and she hasn't even seen me yet basically scolding me for even calling her. I asked her if I could just get regular partial highlights and she told me maybe again. Note to Genie: if your advertising on Groupon and don't want to give a discount, take your advertisement down and don't be so rude. Your anxiety went from 0-100 in just a phone call, I can't imagine what a 2 hour appointment would be like. I ended up calling someone else at a different salon and pleasantly getting the appointment I had been seeking. NOT FROM GENIE read more

Janelle, is very unprofessional. Several times I tried to get her to put extensions in my hair. When she finally got around to calling me a month and a 1/2 later we made an appointment, call me back The day of my appointment and told she had the flu? Then never called me again.Flaky... read more
