    Hair cut
    Kayla S.

    I would love to gatekeep this place, but that just wouldn't be fair! This salon is super affordable and offers amazing quality. I've been getting my hair cut here for a few months now, and every time it's quick, cute, and exactly what I wanted. Mindy is the best--she's so sweet and somehow knows what I want even when I can't quite explain it myself. It's a small shop with just a few chairs, but it's truly a hidden gem. Highly recommend!

    I was looking for somewhere to take my mom for color and a haircut. Mu sister mentioned she has taken her here before so I called and was able to schedule an appointment within the hour. The salon is located in a very small shopping strip.Right when we walked in were greeted and they had my mom go with a hairdresser right away. I let them know what she wanted and because seating was very limited..literally 4 chairs that were all occupied I left my # and asked if they could call me when she was done. The lady was very sweet and said no problem. Approximately an hour later she called me and said my mom was good to go. when I arrived there my mom had a fresh color cut and hair was curled.and styled, it looked great and most important mom was happy. Total price was $60 plus tip which I thought was fair considering my mom has short thin hair. I do have to mention that this place is a no frills salon , I used their restroom that was in the back of the salon and the cleanliness and organization of the back of the salon was not great, I'm talking visible dirty rags, dishes , misc products and hair on the floor..although the restroom itself was clean. Overall we were satisfied with their services they just need to put some elbow grease to work in the cleaning dept. I gave them 3 Stars because of that and also parking is super limited.

    A hidden gem in Orange for affordable cuts, color, perms, blowouts, plus nails. I've been patronizing for almost 8 years. Mimi the owner and her team of 3 stylists take both walk-ins and appts, and the kids' cuts are less than half at places like Fantastic Sam's and Supercuts. $9 vs $22. Their service is brisk and there's always a wait, but the turnover is quick. Only downside is the limited parking in between the laundromat and liquor store. There's streetside parking near Arby's across the street. My friend drives up here from Spectrum area every few months because the value and efficient service are worth it!

    I came here with my daughter to get her haircut. I think the name of the lady that cut my daughter's hair was Ann. Anyways, she was very kind and patient with my daughter. We kept it a simple haircut but she was detailed and made my daughter feel comfortable. At the end, my daughter loves her haircut and felt great leaving the hair salon. Will definitely come back!

    I have been coming here for close to 10 years now and am very happy with the service. Nini is super friendly and gives me an amazing haircut every time! If you're looking for a great and reasonably priced haircut, this is the place to go! Call in advance for a reservation if you don't want to wait.

    I love them. They are consistent and quick. The price can't hurt when you are paying half of what you'd pay anywhere else. The ladies are super nice and I would say the environment is pretty clean- average vibe.

    Ripped out cartilage piercing

    I was really excited to try a local small business. I called and I made a same-day appointment. I went in. I had to wait a tiny bit and then I was helped by a lady named Sally. While washing my hair, Sally drenched my t-shirt in water and didn't acknowledge or apologize. Then as Sally is combing my hair she rips out my cartilage piercing (pic) so now I'm sitting there bleeding and trying to get my earring and she doesn't say sorry or even acknowledge that she has just ripped my piercing out with her comb. I asked her for some alcohol to clean my earring that fell on the floor, and she very reluctantly handed some over. I should've gotten up and left at this point, but I didn't wanna make a scene. She's probably great at what she does but she gave me a terrible haircut and it's exactly what I said I did not want. I paid for the haircut only and left. Now I've got a wet shirt, a bleeding ear, and a terrible haircut.

    Ask the Community - Mimi's Hair & Nails

    Does the $15 haircut also include blowdry and a wash?

    No Wash is usually $3-$4 more. They are very professional people however they talk in their own language if you do not strike up a conversation with them.

    Who should I make an appointment ? I saw Jennifer and Mindy's name from reviews. Any recommendations?

What's even more unacceptable is the complete lack of accountability. I emailed Jackie directly, included clear photos of the damage, and requested a refund of the $140 I paid--giving her a fair opportunity to respond and make things right. She ignored me entirely. I was never offered my money back, nor did I receive any response or apology. I then escalated the issue to the salon. While they did apologize and offered a complimentary haircut with a top stylist, by that point the trust was gone. I declined, because I should not have to risk further disappointment or spend more time fixing a mistake that never should have happened. Between the poor quality of the haircut and the total lack of professionalism and customer care, this experience was beyond frustrating--it was unacceptable. I would strongly caution anyone considering booking with Jackie.

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 appreciate that she checks in with me to see if I'm happy with the progress at each stage of the cut. I will make the drive from SD just to see her.

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. I'll be back, Hyejin!!
