Just a consistently amazing salon. Miho, Saori, Lia- they have all given me wonderful cuts and highlights. Recently, Sunny outdid herself! Receiving so many compliments on my color. At PIA, I've been given crucial advice about maintenance which I've applied, and been very happy ever since discovering the right products for my hair! Thank you all forever! read more

Pia Hair Salon - Absolutely amazing job by Sunny, once again. This salon has been taking great care of my hair for four years now; can't imagine anyone else! - Hair Salons Near Me - Irvine, California

I made an appointment for a root touch-up with Takashi since this salon had good reviews and I have always wanted to try a Japanese hair salon. You would think it would be an easy, seamless appointment, but it went all wrong. I came 30 minutes early and didn't have a proper consultation prior to him working on my hair because we were interrupted a minute after we started talking because a client came in. I told him I wanted a root touch up and that I already have blonde highlights and low lights. He told me the client was there for a bang trim appointment that was booked 15 minutes before my actual appointment which would be quick. It turned out to be a 30 minute Japanese hair straightening consultation which also went 20 minutes total into my appointment because the lady came back in with more questions after initially leaving. After consulting that potential client, he went straight to the back to mix up the color without talking or confirming with me. When I booked the appointment I selected their retouch option as that was the closest I found to a root touch up. In the comment box, I mentioned I have blonde hair and just wanted a root touch up. When I log into my account now the appointment type has been changed to highlight all over. I ended up with darker, badly highlighted hair when I did not ask for any color change. I was in complete shock and asked him to fix it because I was not going to leave the salon looking like that. I still had roots because he did not put the lightener close to the scalp. He tried to remove the coloring, and the end result was ugly, brassy hair which looked nothing like the hair color I came in with. He told me my definition of a root touch up is different from their terminology used in their salon. They call it a full highlight instead which is news to me. I am so disappointed with my results and now I have to pay extra to go somewhere else and get it corrected. See photos attached for the before, after, and after "correction". I do not recommend this salon. read more

I think I found my favorite place! Lia cut my hair today and I absolutely love it! I'll definitely be coming back for sure!! read more

Rarely leave reviews, but I've been visiting for about 3 years with Lia for hair straightening and hair cut. She's always pleasant and meets my needs. The salon is very clean and hospitable. Yes, they are always pretty booked up, but there's a reason why. Make your reservations online with Lia . read more

Why isn't 6 out of 5 stars an option? But jokes aside: Lia is an amazing stylist. She pays incredible attention to detail and was very patient in answering all my questions as this was my first time dying my hair. She's extremely informed about styling and dying hair and made sure I decided exactly what I wanted before getting started. I didn't like my hair from the box highlights and at-home bangs that happened from the lockdown (lol) and the color turned out perfectly. I got so many compliments today! She fixed the layers and sloppy cut from the last salon I visited too. It's a perfect look for summer. :) I'm really happy with my hair Lia. Thank you, I'll definitely be coming back! read more

This was my second time visiting Pia. I was happy to come back after the first time because of the amazing service! Lia is so gentle, and let me know what steps she was taking with my hair. She gave my hair texture with layers and my bangs are the exact length I prefer. I love the way my hair looks and it's so soft!! I hope to keep coming here for my future haircuts :) read more

Lia is a good hair stylist. She takes time with my hair, gets a good massage during shampoo. And no long wait. A little on the high side cost wise but if you refer someone you both get 20% off. Nonetheless, it's all worth it. The salon Is clean and close to grocery shopping. I love the smell of their products too. read more

Wow. Absolutely wow. I would say my hair is one of the toughest to work with because of the length and the amount, but Lia did such a wonderful job with it. I already received so many compliments about the color and the style of my new hair. It is pretty and natural at the same time. 10/10 recommendation for Lia!! I posted the pictures of my hair without any filter on. read more

If you are calling to make an appointment, make sure you ask for the Irvine location, I think the receptionist was new and didnt ask me which location. I drove to the Irvine location but they told me the appointment was booked for Torrance. I had to go back the next day. On to the cut. Lia did an amazing job. She was attentive to what I asked for, took her time, and the results blew me away. After neglecting my hair for too long, Lia brought life back to my damaged hair! Thank you Lia! I will be back. read more

My first time at this salon. Friend highly recommended this place so I thought I gave it a try. Miho was my stylist. She is very friendly and patient. She gave me good advice in the style of cut and color suitable for me and my lifestyle. She didn't rush through the process. I looked much younger after the new style and color. read more

I highly recommend Miho at Pia Hair Salon!! I was very happy with my haircut and will definitely return the next time I need a haircut. I will refer family and friends too! I appreciated Miho's excellent attention to detail and obvious expertise in her craft! She is very skilled and knowledgeable and I am grateful to find a hairdresser who understands Asian hair well (my hair is quite fine and difficult to manage). The service was excellent, and Miho has a lovely personality and made my experience very enjoyable. I've received compliments on my hair already, and I will definitely return. I moved to Irvine a few months ago--so glad to have found this place. Thank you Miho and Pia Hair Salon! read more

Pia Hair Salon - Haircut from Miho 2/2022 - Hair Salons Near Me - Irvine, California

Miho is fantastic! I got my best hair cut here for almost two years already, and this time I asked for a style change, she did such a great job! I liked both the style she used to cut for the last two years, and the style that needs some waxing as the current one. I brought my whole family there and she did extremely well on women and girl's hair, too! I highly recommended Miho for men and women's hair cut! read more

Pia Hair Salon - Got a style change from Miho and liked it very much! - Hair Salons Near Me - Irvine, California

I am absolutely floored by Lia's work!! I've never gotten my hair professionally done before, so I didn't really know what to expect, but Lia was so attentive and helpful straight from the beginning consultation to the second I left the salon. I just showed her a couple of example pictures of balayage on medium length hair and asked her to do her thing and it turned out amazing exactly what I wanted! My hair was also at a super awkward length with horrible layering, but Lia was able to magically fix it and make my hair look light and fresh! I've gotten so many compliments on my hair so far, and I'm so glad I chose Lia for my first hair job! 10/10 would highly, highly recommend!!! read more

I have had great haircuts from Saori (Sunny) and Lia. The worst was Takashi. It was like I wasn't worth his time. Not sure if it is because I am not Japanese and/or male. He took the least time and care with my hair but has the nerve to charge more than the others. I'm not chatty but I could tell he did not want to talk or try to talk. I see, unfortunately, that Saori is no longer working there. I have not had a service with Miho before so I can't comment on her. read more

I've seen Lia for years, and she's the only person in Orange County I trust to give me a great hair cut. I never have to worry about whether I'll like the way she'll cut my hair because she knows the balance between a stylish and professional cut. Plus, she charges a fair price so I never feel like I wasted my money. I can't recommend Lia enough! read more

If you ever doubt about coming here, my suggestion to you is DON'T. I was a bit skeptical into coming here since I had mixed feelings about cutting my hair or don't do anything to it. I had an appointment at 1 and I was seated exactly by the time. My hair stylist was Yuki, he was very polite and asked/consulted with me first with what/which part of my hair exactly do I want to be shorter. My answer to him was I don't really want to cut my hair any shorter, more of a trim off my split ends and fried/damaged parts of my hair. He understood what I wanted but in order to achieve it, he did show me approx. how much he will have to cut. He promised to keep the shape long/layer so my hair will still look long from the back. When he finished cutting my hair, he ensured that I like it. I love it! Thank you Yuki-San. My whole hair experience here was definitely awesome. I highly recommend getting your haircut with Yuki! +if you ever want to do eyelash perm/extensions: look for Miho! (: she's totally a sweet lady. read more

New in town and looking for a new hair stylist, so I asked around and looked up this place on Yelp. A staff named 'Miho' seemed to be the star stylist here so I made an appointment with her. I showed her a couple photos of the style I wanted. She feels my hair and tries to get a grasp of what she'll do before jumping in. Even without too much explaining, she just gets it! This stylist has a pretty sharp sense and judgement on how much to trim off in length, proportion, balancing, thinning, layering & everything a pro should take into consideration when styling hair. She has great technique when it comes to using her scissors (something I can't say for all stylists I've been to since most of them think that simply scissoring away hair is all there is to styling). If you're someone who's looking to get chatty with your stylist, she's not the girl (at least in English). Although I had no issues communicating with her, English is not her native tongue and she does have a heavy Japanese accent. But if a hair stylist is this damn-good, I really don't care if he/she is a mute. There's a complimentary hair wash at the end. The facility is nice, clean, well-kept and pleasant (even has a fireplace). Men's hair-cut is $40 + tip. I gave 15% totalling $46. I left very satisfied and it was well-spent! read more

Finally there is a Japanese Hair salon in Irvine!!!! Say goodbye to Costa Mesa or Torrance Today I took my mom to get a hair cut. She love her new hair style a lot!!!! My mom looks younger and nicer. Miho!!!! She did a great job!!Thank you Miho! She was really taking care of my mom's hair! Miho is very gentle not like some hair stylists pulling ur hair with pain. Miho told me she had 20 yrs experiences in Japan.!!! No wonder she is such a expert. This salon is very clean!! I highly recommend Miho!!!! read more

Lia is the best hair stylist ever i have experienced!!!! Whenever she did my hair, it was just "WOW!!!!" That's why I always follow wherever she goes. She is also my family's hair stylist. My hubby and son love their hair style because she did it. I don't need to worry about my style because she knows me well and what looks good on me. Because of Lia, I went to PIA and got great impression. This shop is very neat and elegant. I feel very comfortable and relax. I wish I could upload my hair style which she did today.

Very easy to book online. Friendly staff and always love my haircut and styling by Lia!

Saori was my hairstylist and she did a great job!! My before hair was unmaintained so she asked questions and not imposed anything on me, which I prefer. Her suggestions were simple to understand especially since I don't need high maintenance for my hair. Results say it all and most importantly I love how it looks and feels now! Thank you for a wonderful experience! read more

I had Lia as my hair stylist, and she was so awesome!!! She really took the time to listen to what I was looking for and advise what would look best for me. She was also very attentive to small details, and I really appreciated that. I highly recommend this place! read more

I'm so excited that I found my new go to hair salon and stylist on my first try! Lia really listened and delivered exactly what I was looking forward to, especially after a year of not seeing a professional stylist. She worked her magic and covered my stubborn grays and blended away my sad quarantine box dye attempts. I asked for bangs, which I've been turned down by other stylists to do because I have a short forehead and a widows peak. I'm ecstatic that she understood my hair and gave me cute bangs and awesome layered cut. I have really thick island girl hair and I appreciated that she knew how to calm it down without hacking away at it with thinning shears. I honestly couldn't be happier and can't wait to come back. I'll probably be back sooner to stock up on the milbon products they carry as well. -Amy I. read more

I wrote a review 1 year ago, but I don't see it? I went in for Japanese Straightening with Lia, and I left with damaged hair. I left a tip because I was hoping it would get better, but really I think I was in shock over my hair. Twenty minutes after leaving the salon I called Takashi, and sent him pics of my hair. I got an appointment with him 2 weeks later, he tried to fix my hair, but it was too damaged. I have had my hair straightened by this method for the past 5 years by other hair stylists. In a pinch I tried Pia Hair Salon, this was a bad decision. My hair is still in bad condition. Pia did give me a refund for the service, but not my tip. The star is for Takashi as he did try to fix my hair. read more

Wow! This is my first time visit and with My new hairstylist, Takashi-San, is truly amazing . I showed him and he explained to me how it will be like if I wanna mirror the hairstyle in the photo. Yes! He did it!!! He cut the hairstyle that I want. I'm super happy!! He is very good with layers!! Amazing layers cut!! Love my hair For sure going back next time read more

First time visitor at this salon and I would love to come back again! I got my major cut from long hair to super short done by Miho, who provided excellent feedback on reference pictures I brought in. She explained how some styles may be difficult to achieve based on how thick my hair was and how some other styles may be high maintenence, which was something I mentioned that I didn't want. I really appreciated how she kept my hair characteristics and preferences in mind when cutting my hair. read more

I have been visiting this place for over two years now. very efficient service and the price is affordable as well.(It would cost me $100 to get a nice bob cut in D.C. :P) Everyone is super friendly and professional.

Btw, it is super easy to make an appointment online :) read more
