Thank you Robin for all you do. :-) read more

The worst haircut ever! The person, Sammy, does not know how to cut hair. Wanted around 5 inches to be cut off. I went in wanting my hair medium to long since I have a friend's wedding to be a part of and my hair grows slow. So I stated to the person that I did not want short hair. It took me 2.5 yrs to grow my hair to the length I had when I went in. She butchered it in one sitting. She kept trimming and trimming to even it out. Left side would be longer so she trimmed it. After that the other side would be longer after trimming and so she trimmed the other side to make even. This happened multiple times. It just went back and forth. By the time I noticed how much she would cut off during each trim, my hair was short shoulder length...... she had trimmed off about 6 inches of uneven hair. On top of the short hair I said I did not want, my hair was still uneven when she was done. Sad part is I even factored in the fact that an extra an or inch and half of what I said would be cut off during trying to even out the hair. I did not expect an extra approx 6 inches to be cut off. Now I have to wait just to be able to get it fixed by someone who actually knows how to cut hair. I would give 0 stars if possible. I do not recommend. read more

I've gone to Robin twice now. And had an amazing time both occasions. She cut my hair beautifully to how I wanted it. This is the stylist to style your hair!! read more

Disappointing Experience - I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience with Robin because her reviews were misleading. I went to Robin to style my hair for a wedding. I showed her exactly what I wanted--something simple, just a braid with wavy curls. When Robin finished, she asked if I liked the hairstyle, and while I thought it looked okay at the salon, the results didn't last. By the time I got home, the curls had completely fallen, my hair was frizzy, and both my husband and mother-in-law mentioned that it didn't look professionally done. I reached out to Robin to express my concerns, but her response was rude and unprofessional. After spending $95 and over an hour at the salon, I ended up having to wash and restyle my hair myself. Robin didn't offer any sort of apology, solution, or compensation--instead, she essentially told me she doesn't work for free. I cannot recommend Robin, based on both the poor quality of the service and her unprofessional attitude when I raised my concerns. read more

I hate giving bad reviews on yelp but feel I must share my experience. I booked a keratin treatment with Robin with the understanding of using a certain product. She switched on me and the product was terrible. I paid over $300 and the treatment didn't work. She was very confident in the product and her experience. She told me the product is unique and promised me great results then used a product that you can buy on Amazon. read more

Robin is an expert with color and uses great products. I've been very happy with the results and she's a nice person too!

your entire response was filled with dishonesty inorder to cover up what actually went down. i hope that people do read my review, and know that i did reach out, and i was not happy and you kept telling me that you liked it. i said that i did not like the muddy color. what happened to my gorgeous blonde. your products are called keune. yes, i did take a picture of it, and found it to be very cheap quality and you told me to erase the picture permanently. you said that you never give out your "secrets" . why not robin??? because the color is cheap, horrible , poor quality that is from iceland and can be purchased for $8-$10 from walmart. do not lie to your customers. i have a new hairdresser who uses quality products and you use keune which is bottom of the barrel. good luck with that!!! here is me now, with my new hair color!! from aveda salon in newport beach! read more

Robin Brooks Studio Salon is located on Lake Mission Viejo with a calming, serene view of the ducks on the water. Robin is an expert at cutting and shaping hair. My hair is very thick and graying so, apparently it's hard to blend my layers. Robin did an excellent job. read more

Robin - I'm so fortunate to have found you. With all the crappy haircuts I've gotten in the past 15 years, I resigned myself to the inevitability I was going to suffer with stupid obligatory scissored chunks. My consolation was at least this studio was conveniently close with lots of parking. In addition to my innate Italian arm swinging, wrist flicking, finger slapping, flip flop tripping body language, I explained in layman's terms what I wanted. And OMG Robin - you understood! I didn't need to conjure my ancient roots (haha see what I did there?) after all. I bow to the Goddess of Shears for urging me to try you at the Phenix Studios (I'm the only one who will "get" that one) You gently asked if I had ever colored my hair before You used a diplomatic term for rat-brown-gray mass of fibrous sticks of hay. Yes, I replied - all bad experiences. I've patiently waited for crappy bleached chunks forever (and patience is NOT one of my virtues). You said to me "if you ever consider it, let me know" Four, five, six (?) haircuts later, I trusted you enough to take the color plunge. You explained what you could do to allow the - delicare word for ratty brownish gray roots - grow in and merge with microweaved low lights. You were right all along of course. I enjoy relaxing in the chair and daydreaming, while I look out your huge window and watch the baby ducks follow mama ducks. I wish I found you 15 years ago. Thanks for your communication skills and expertise. Bonus: I think there are turtles in the lake too (I really like turtles) read more

I am in love with my hair! Robin was extremely responsive and attentive. I got the Keratin treatment done and never had my hair looked so good. Definitely will be returning for another Keratin treatment with Robin in the near future! read more

I had the pleasure of having Robin do my hair twice, and I can say that she is one of the best stylists and colorists that I have ever had! She did a lovely job on my platinum blonde babylights. The foil placement was natural-looking and neat (I respect stylists that take the time to apply neat foils). I was nervous about getting toner because I had a negative experience with it lifting my roots in the past. Robin was kind enough to apply it at the chair. I absolutely love the color she chose. The highlights look snow white (exactly how I wanted them) and my roots were untouched. I am so happy that I was able to find Robin as a stylist. For as long as I am able to, I will continue to visit her to get my hair done. =^..^= read more

Found Robin after researching and trying to find an experienced stylist that could cut/color and style short hair. So glad I found her! She's a beautiful woman inside and out, and a true craftsman. (Everyone is doing those long beachy waves and extensions) so hard to find short hair experts! I grew out my pixie and wasn't happy with growing out my wavy hair. Robin created a new choppy long pixie with some blonde highlights. Love it, and my hair feels so much healthier! She uses top of the line organic products, and a master of her trade. Thanks Robin- see you in 5 weeks! Highly recommend her! read more

I started having Robin do my hair because I searched for best colorist in my area and she had great reviews. Well, now I understand why!

Let me tell you... if you need a hair stylist who is the sweetest and kindest person and and has her hair salon studio facing an awesome view of lake mission viejo then look no further! Robin is the person to go to! I needed a desperate SOS on my hair to fix and reverse the awful box color hair dye job that I did. When I contacted Robin she was so sweet and explained to me the process how she could color correct my hair. I've never done anything like this before and I was so nervous but rest assured Robin was the person that truly answered my prayers! She listened and looked at pictures of how I wanted my hair to be color fixed to look like. We talked and she made suggestions and guided me on how to achieve the hair style I was looking for. After a few hours later, a miracle happened! My hair was color corrected and I was shocked on the before and after pictures. During the process she explained each step and each product she used in detail along the way so I would know exactly what she was doing. I gave her a big hug and cried because she fixed my hair to the way I wanted and made me feel better about myself and the way I looked! Thank you Robin for everything you did to help me! Overall if you need a hair stylist that is sweet, professional and actually listens to how you want your hair vision to look then Robin is who you need to see! She works miracles when it comes to hair! read more

Found Robin Brooks Studio via the great reviews... and I was not disappointed! I am 70, new to the area, and wanted to cut 12+ inches to donate to a charity. I gave Robin free rein to give me whatever style that would net 12 + inches of lopped off hair and look good. Went from an "aging hippie" braid to a chic and sleek bob. Have had 100% rave reviews.... which you would hope for fresh out of the salon. But after a week, it is still looks great.... with minimal after- shampoo care! Terrific job, Robin! Also her 1-person studio is quiet, peaceful and beautiful with a lovely lake view. Recommend her highly! read more

She also used organic dye from Italy which smells great and doesn't damage the hair at all. read more

I just went to this salon for a first time , and the owner Robin, treat me very disrespectful, complaining first that I was in a wrong suite , I showed her message on my phone, and she was still complaining, like she was doing a favor to me, I never had that experience of walking out of a salon, because the way she was treating me. She mentioned that I was talking loud, which is a lie,. I wouldn't recommend to come to this salon, if she doesn't know how to do business with clients. I never heard from anybody that I know that I talked loud, so this is the first one on me .. Very unprofessional read more

Robin is excellent! She really knows how to cut hair. I have long curly hair that she layers and I like it shorter on top, which is tricky. I get compliments on my hair all year. read more

I'm very happy with my hair treatment. Robin has many products and can pick the best one based on your hair type. The blow-out part was much better than the ones I've had from the Brazilian Blowout product. It's rare to see so much product to purchase for sulfate-free shampoos-- she keeps a large inventory, making it very easy for her clients. Very convenient hours, too. I've recommended her already. read more
