Been going here for 5 years and I love Michelle!! She is so kind, listens to what I want, gives great recommendations. Her prices are also VERY reasonable for her years of experience and expertise. She pays so much attention to detail, but she is very efficient and fast with her hands too. She is quick with scheduling via phone or instagram, and I am never disappointed when I go. Love this place, highly recommend ! read more

Excellent attention to the customer, not a volume shop that operates to churn out customers. Michelle is wonderful, sweet, skilled, and very professional in that she knows exactly what impromptu adjustments need to be made to ensure you get the best result. My c curl perm was supposed to take three hours, but she quickly realized how strong and thick my hair quality was, which meant she had to stay overtime to adjust the treatment plan to fit my situation better. I love the result, it is better than I envisioned. I can now wake up, roughly run through my hair with my fingers, and leave the house looking like I got a blowout. My only gripe is that I didn't do this earlier. The pictures are in the salon and two weeks later, right out of bed (didn't brush my hair or anything). read more

This is my first time getting a straightening perm with Michelle. My hair is naturally wavy and thick and I have had countless straight perms in the past. Michelle did a great job. Not only did she do the usual steps of the perm but she also added a steam treatment at the end. This left my hair so shiny and soft. She also takes her time and is very attentive. Thank you, Michelle! read more

Michelle is incredibly gifted and so sweet I can't recommend her enough. She cut and dyed my hair and got the color perfectly fit for me. She also permed my mom's hair for extra volume, and cut my dad's hair. She's versatile in her skills for all ages and all people! read more

Very disrespectful of customer's time. I made an appt two days ahead. Rearrange work and skip lunch just to make it in time for the appt. Ended up Michelle has 3 customer in her studio. She didn't try to explain the situation and no text or call to reschedule with me. Just told me to come back another day. This happened twice. Not sure if she likes to take some walk-in customers that need more expensive service. But I think at least have the courtesy to call instead of having customers stood up:( Not planning to go back again read more

My teenage son is very particular about what haircut he wants so he showed Michelle a few clips from anime and Michelle instantly understood what he wanted.

I would definitely recommend Michelle!! read more

Michelle is my go-to stylist! I was nervous about finding someone I liked after moving from NYC, but I've been to Michelle several times now and can confidently recommend her work.

New season means new hair! If you're looking for a place that is able to do balayage with thick hair, Michelle is your girl. Michelle does such a fantastic job at explaining which colors will look best with my undertones and every time the color has dyed so well. When I get my hair done I bring some reference photos and Michelle alway gives me what I envisioned. I've dyed my hair multiple times but the treatment that Michelle puts in the dye makes my hair look and feel healthy. Even after 6 months of growth, my hair has continued to stay healthy and shiny. The interior of the salon is very spacious and clean, I'm always at ease when I get my hair done here. I've been struggling to find MY hair stylist and dare I say, I think I've found the one. If you're looking for a balayage GO HERE!! read more

I've been coming here since beginning of 2023 and I've been extremely happy with Michelle's work! Her haircuts are always on point and her perm is by far the best perm I've gotten in CA (tried all the places in KTown). My hair is very thin and doesn't perm well but she makes it work really well. TLDR: 10/10 would recommend for men's perm and hair cut. read more

I am so glad to find Michelle! I have been going to LA/Buena park searching for a hair stylist who can do magic perm and hair cut without damaging your hair and I am very specific with my needs.. so I am so satisfied. I have been royal to this hair salon for 5 ys now. I bring my 6 years old daughter and my husband too and she is so good with any styles we ask for! I now don't have to wait to go to Korea to do my hairs highly recommend! The shop is also relaxing and clean and she is always so generous with snack and drinks! read more

I've always had my hair done in Japan, but due to Covid, I was looking for a new hair stylist near me in Irvine and I found Michelle! Salons were closing again, and Michelle was able to take me the very next day I contacted her before it all closed down. I showed Michelle some inspo pictures of a natural brown/light-brown balayage and she did exactly that! She also used Olaplex, which made my hair feel super soft and healthy. It turned out amazing and I love it! Definitely recommend, thank you Michelle!! read more

"저는 이번에 방문한 헤어살롱에서의 경험이 정말로 탁월했습니다. 스타일리스트님은 매우 전문적이면서도 친근감이 넘치셨고, 고객 하나하나의 세심한 요구사항에 귀 기울여 주셨습니다. 제 모발을 다루는 솜씨가 특히 인상적이었으며, 결과물에 대해 매우 만족스럽습니다. 샵의 분위기는 매우 편안하고, 청결하며, 모든 직원들이 친절했습니다. 제가 특별히 요청한 스타일을 완벽하게 재현해주셔서 감사합니다. 앞으로도 이곳을 자주 이용할 것이며, 주변 사람들에게도 적극 추천할 예정입니다. 이렇게 좋은 경험을 할 수 있도록 해주신 모든 직원분들께 감사드립니다." "I had an exceptionally great experience at this hair salon. The stylist was very professional yet approachable, paying close attention to each customer's detailed requests. The skill with which they handled my hair was particularly impressive, and I am very satisfied with the outcome. The atmosphere of the shop is very comfortable and clean, and all the staff were friendly. I appreciate how they perfectly recreated the style I requested. I plan to use this place frequently in the future and will highly recommend it to people around me. Thank you to all the staff for making such a good experience possible." read more

Quick, precise, and friendly. She asks what you want and how you style your hair and cuts it appropriately. She has lightning hands and gets you in and out without missing a hair. Remembers her clients and loves to chat it up. read more

This was my 3rd time using Michelle's services. I am saddened at how she has changed her pace and quality of attention to client. My appt was at 11am, and when I arrived, there were 3 chairs and 3 people getting their hairs permed or colored. I wondered if I got my time wrong, so I double checked my texts, and I did have the correct time. She was rushing like crazy, and eventually had one client getting his perm done move to a waiting chair, so I could have the seat. She washed my hair and then started to cut. It wasn't 5min into my cut that one of the first clients asked Michelle when she could finally get her hair shampooed, so Michelle stopped cutting my hair and rushed to shampoo the women's hair. I overheard the women say, "Sorry, I need to pick up my kids from school." Michelle responds to her with something along the line of "free shampoo next time." Then another lady comes in, and Michelle tells her to wait outside. When Michelle finished the women's shampoo, she had the women waiting outside come back in and then shampooed and conditioned her hair. (Now, I'm waiting 15-20min after Michelle started my haircut). She tells the new client to wait 10min to have the conditioner sit in her hair, and then quickly finishes my haircut, and she did if FAST. There was no asking questions, no checking if the haircut would do well with my hair texture, so I asked her if my hair needed to be permed since the picture I had shown her in the beginning was curled. She was actually annoyed when I asked and said a firm "Maybe," meaning no. She finished my haircut and curled it within probably 15-20min. And then another lady comes in.... Michelle quickly tells me to take off my robe as I was trying to pay her. The internet wasn't working and she was annoyed that her Apple Pay system wasn't working. A rushed 20/30min haircut for $70. I've had friends tell me the cut was uneven and choppy and poofy. I don't know what is going on, but this was a disappointing and sad experience. I really liked my first two experiences in 2021 and 2022 with Michelle and really thought I found a long term stylist. Now, I'm going to another stylist 5 days after Michelle cut my hair to get it fixed and permed and not rushed. read more

Great service with great style suggestions. If you are looking for a designer familiar with Korean hair styles she's definitely the one. read more

It was my first time at Michelle's salon, and I will definitely come back. I just moved to the area, so just tried this place having not much expectation. I showed Michelle a couple of pictures of a short-cut with a c-curl perm as an example, and added a brief explanation. She quickly understood what to do with my hair, added more details and got me a really cute style. I also like the color-coating that I got. She also took care of my eyebrows to match with my new hair, and gave me tips on how to style my hair at home. Also, there was another staff (forgot her name) who helped with my hair, and she was really nice and professional. read more

Michelle deserves all the 5 star reviews. I've never had such an extensive salon experience before coming to her. She makes good hairstyle suggestions, is efficient yet thorough, explains everything that's going into your hair, thoughtfully checks in to make sure you're doing ok throughout the various hair treatments, and has good salon equipment as well. read more

She is unprofessional. She booked me for an appointment today at 12 pm. I made that appointment with her a week in advanced. She ended up booking two others people the same day. She could have at least tell me that she cannot see me, but instead she made me come to the appointment and waited outside for 10 mins just to tell me she can't see me at my appointment time. I had to find a babysitter to watch my kids so I can go to this appointment. So unprofessional. I will never come to her again. read more

I can't believe this place has a high rating. I've been to a lot of korean hair salons in LA/OC area and this was by far the worst. I am so upset with an awful haircut. I knew it was going to be bad while I watched her cut because she relies heavily on the thinning shears and finished the cut within 10 min. It looks semi descent when you walk out of the salon because she styles your hair but when I got home and washed my hair, I can see that it was very uneven and looked like it was just chopped off. She makes appointments back to back so she puts conditioner on your hair makes you wait while she rushes to cut someone else's hair. Then she barely rinses your hair and starts chopping your hair off. There's no thought or effort that goes in. I was shocked that she charges $70 for a 10 min haircut. I absolutely will not be back. read more

Michelle is awesome! I tried to go to a salon near my house and I did.. but it was total fail. I wanted to color and cut my hair. They said they couldn't color my hair orange without bleaching it but Michelle did it no problem. I asked the stylist to layer my hair what she did was.... one length on the bottom and another one length 1in above.. BUT Michelle saved me!! She fixed all the problem! She layered my hair as I wanted and colored my hair as I wanted!!! Although her shop is hr away I'm never going to even try to find a salon near my house. Definitely going back to Michelle for any of my future hair style! read more

If you like beautiful long hair DO NOT go here!!! I usually like my hair length between my rib cage and belly button. I came out with hair WAY shorter than what I wanted. I came in because my hair was already below my belly button. It was long. Before we started, I tried to tell her where I wanted my hair length to be, but she right away cut it where SHE wanted the length to be without giving me a chance to explain. It all happened TOO fast! I told her that was too short for me and the whole time she kept making comments "oh don't be silly that's too long". I wanted something nice, but because of how low she cut it initially, I was scared of doing layers or much to it. I do not care if you personally think my desired hair length is too long. If I want it a certain way and I express it MANY times, you are supposed to do what I want as a client. If I am paying for a service and giving you instructions, you are supposed to do what I want. People love my hair length and all my girlfriends have it long and beautiful. Some of them even use extensions! Now I have some basic ugly short haircut. Nothing interesting. Now I see why you are in Irvine because most girls in LA have it long styled and beautiful. What I got was some short haircut that looks very basic and VERY Irvine look if you know what I mean. Def going to look for someone in Newport now. Someone with more sense of style for long hair. Not Happy. Not returning. Not recommending. read more

awesome service and super comfortable : ) good music and nice environment ! would come back again ^_^

She does a great job every time. I have been satisfied with the way the hair cut comes out!. I strongly recommend her.

Before Michelle, I had never gone to the same salon twice and hated cutting my hair. But not anymore! I've already visited Michelle's salon multiple times and even brought my friends. After a very long time of searching for a good, affordable hair salon in the OC area, I finally found my go-to person and I could not be happier! About 8 months ago, I got a drastic haircut (super long to chin-length!) I'm so glad I found Michelle through Yelp because she did an amazing job. All I had to do was show her some inspo pics and she knew exactly what I wanted. I got SO many compliments on my cut, and many of my friends wanted to know where I went! Last week, I went for a trim + digital perm. I was going for a messy wave look with lots of volume. Again, I showed Michelle a few pictures and she achieved the look so well. It looks even better than the pictures! Michelle is so talented with the scissors. She has been working as a hairdresser for a long long time, and it shows through her skill. I love that she is good at both Korean and American styles, listens to exactly what you want, and knows what will look good on you. She will give you exactly what you want, without cutting 6 more inches than you asked for like most Korean hairdressers. Michelle is the one to trust with your hair!!! PS, she is the only hairdresser here. She has helpers, but only Michelle will directly work on your hair, so you can trust you won't get a random person when you come. But make sure to make a reservation first because they are really busy! read more

Michelle has done my hair a few times now and I love going to her. I was referred to her from a friend. She's quick, efficient, and makes your hair effortlessly beautiful. The way she cuts your hair is perfect styled or unstyled. You know they are a good hair stylist when after 2 days, your hair looks more beautiful even without styling it. Highly recommend her if you need a stylish cut. She does follow Korean beauty trends that are popular which is that clean, beautiful, yet voluminous look! read more

I'm so grateful to find Michelle. She really knows what I want and does wonder to my hair. This is my 3rd visit (2 were for digital perm) in a year and I know she will be my forever hairdresser! If you're looking for a hairdresser, you should visit her and you will be very happy! read more

Totally talented. Highly recommended. Michelle so friendly and amazing. So grateful for you Michelle.

I like how she gives a comfortable environment by talking to her customer. I also really like the hairstyle she gave me.

Michelle does a wonderful job!!! My hair is straight as a board, baby fine and I have multiple cow licks! Her haircuts address all my issues: really lovely shape with inner layers to increase volume. When I explained that I don't have time to style my hair everyday, she advised a digital perm. She carefully explained the process and after it was completed, she provided great styling tips to help me wear the new curls/haircut multiple ways. Very happy with the result. Thank you Michelle. read more
