I came in for color correction. Back story, I had seen some photos online and of the "grey hair look" and loved it. I tried to replicate the look myself by doing some research online through websites, YouTube, hairstyling articles etc. literally spending 1 and a half weeks getting as much information. Went on Amazon bought everything needed and then went to town...LoL lets just say it didn't turn out quite as I had hoped. I found Rocket Science after reading some online article about them being in the top 10 salons in Southern California. My stylist was Z. She was extremely nice and corrected my hair and got me the grey hair look I was trying to achieve. My only complaint and why I gave 4 stars out of 5 was the price. Not so much the cost itself but the fact that the price wasn't explained to me before anything had been done. The final cost was only explained after. Fortunately I had the money to pay for this but what if I hadn't? Not explaining this was an issue to me. I should have asked prior but I still think it was the stylist who should have explained. Never assume your clients are rich LoL Also I don't like it when people throw products on to me. I don't need fancy shampoos or styling done. I just want what I came in for. But on a business stand point I can understand why it was mentioned. Over all I paid $250 plus tip for my color correction / hair dye / and "style" keep in mind I have shoulder length hair but thick. Overall I recommend this salon and I love Z as my stylist. BUT do yourself a favor and ask about pricing and don't feel pressured into saying no to hair products a stylist is trying to sell :) read more

I've been coming here for about three years and I'm not sure why I never wrote a review about this place. The thing that's so appealing about Rocket Science is that I leave feeling great, not some lowly, unworthy gal who just got her hair did from some posh salon. Everyone's down to earth, cool with each other, cool with the clients who walk in...it's just a chill, fun place to be in while getting a great style. I came to Rocket Science for the first time ever in 2006, basically to fix a Supercut haircut fiasco. I don't even remember who cut my hair, all I know is it made a lasting impression on me enough to come back a year later, meet and start my 2-3 month routine with Kitty for the past three years. Kitty's amazing! Without knowing her before my appointment, we hit it off because of her super cool personality. She listens to what you want, lets you know what might not work out and totally goes with you. I've walked in for an appointment and while I'm getting color set, she's cut my husband's hair. I've actually converted my mom to seeing a stylist on a regular basis. Block off two hours of her day, and we have ourselves hair dates with Kitty! I started going to her in '08 (so someone would get used to my fine, straight, but sometimes unruly 2-waves-in-my-hair, hair) I had just gotten engaged and wanted to really get to know my stylist for a while before the wedding instead of waiting at the last second to find someone & I got lucky! It's like this review turned into a "Kitty" review..but every single hairstylist is an artist and overall really awesome people. read more

I made an appt. W/Kitty after reading the great reviews about her. She did a nice haircut, but left me with her assistant to finish blow drying/styling my hair so she could attend the needs of a client of hers that called while I was getting my hair cut and needed Kitty to "fix" her color/weave. I was disappointed inthat I wanted to experience the haircut/style from beginning to end. read more

Wendy at Rocket Science is great. I have very thick hair and it's hard to manage, but she was able to tame it. She gave me really cute Audrey Hepburn bangs and even took the time to teach me victory rolls. She's also very nice and helpful in suggesting a style that works for your face, look and lifestyle. And, it all came to $45. Decent price for a great hair cut. read more

Absolutely love Erin. I have been going to her for over a year now! I started with red/purple hair she took me to platinum blonde and now to a wheat colored blonde. Her ultimate goal is to keep your hair healthy and after everything I have done to my hair she has managed to make it healthier than ever!! She is always so sweet. I always have a great time and look forward to getting my hair done by her! read more

I made an appointment a month in advance and the day of the appointment I arrived at the salon. The receptionist was really nice and asked if I had an appointment. I gave her my information and she told me the hairstylist that was suppose to do my hair left home early due to her feeling sick. I wasn't upset because she left home early, what made me upset was the fact that no one called me to inform me she was not going to be able to do my hair. It was about an hour drive to get there and I got nothing, not even a text or call. The receptionist said the hair stylist did not have my phone number to reach out to me, but we had just spoken about 2 days prior to the appointment and when I first made my appointment she mentioned that she had my number saved. The ladies who work at Rocket Science are great at what they do, I just had an unprofessional experience. read more

I love rocket science! I have been getting my haircut by Rick Anthony for probably about seven years now. He always listens to exactly what you want and never deviates or cuts too much. I really love the studio - everyone is amazing and it's in a good location right next to where I work! I would highly recommend Rick! read more

I absolutely love this salon because of my hair stylist, Daniel. He actually listens to what I say and makes my hair look healthy, stylish and sexy. The atmosphere is funky and clean. My only wish would be for them to carry aveda products.... read more

Just had my hair done by Brooke and my daughter's by Mercy and they both did such a great job. The prices are great and the professionalism and the way they strive to understand what you are looking for/ensuring you are happy with the style is wonderful! read more

I have been with Julee for at least four years. I followed her out to Lake Forest from Long Beach because there is nobody better. She's an awesome professional and I respect and admire her skills. Not only does my hair look great when I leave the salon but I feel great. I always feel like I just gave myself the best treat. read more

I called Rocket Science yesterday to see if they by any chance had any openings... they did! I was so excited bc I was in desperate need. I was scheduled with Ricky. I had never been there before so I didn't know what to expect. By far, the best hair experience I've ever had. He was awesome! Very funny, friendly, and most importantly amazing at what he does. I would 100% recommend Ricky at Rocket Science. read more

This review is long overdue! Kacie is absolutely amazing! I went into her months ago and she put the best balayge (spchk) in my hair. When I went in, I had blah blah blonde highlights in my dark brown hair. When I left- my look was awesome and understated as requested! I am writing this now because I need it toned a bit and just called her and I am seeing her TONIGHT! She is awesome and a true genius with color! I would 100% recommend her!! read more

Rocket Science is a gem of a salon full of Nice caring individuals who truly enjoy working together . I've been a client of Kacie for a few years and can honestly say she's amazing at her craft. I Always feel beautiful after my Kc fix, and the compliments I get keep me coming back. Already can't wait till my next visit. read more

I received a great cut and style from Milly today. She also gives an awesome neck and head massage! Happy to have found her.

This review is solely based on the customer service and not the hair dresser and I never had my hair done by her. I made an apt a week and a half out and an hour and a half before my apt they call to cancel me because the stylist was sick. They then proceed to schedule me in two weeks. Wait a minute.... you cancel my apt and can't accommodate me to be seen sooner after waiting a week and a half to be seen. Bye bye. I'll take my business somewhere else read more

I finally decided to post a review. Didn't want to before for purely selfish reasons. If everyone finds out how great a stylist Ricky is, I will never be able to get an appointment. And I want to keep him all for myself! But seriously, he does a great job. I have short hair and one mess up can cause a big problem. He consistently does a great job with my cut and weave--been coming to him for years and would not trust my hair to anyone else! read more

Had a great experience with Cassandra. She listened to my needs and my hair couldn't look better. Place was easy to find with ample parking. Not your typical salon. Front desk receptionist was very nice. read more

Zee (Zoraima) has been doing my hair for the last several months. She does AMAZING work. She's slowly lightened my hair up. My hair is still healthy and shiny. And Zee is just the sweetest. All the staff is super friendly. I highly recommend seeing Zee for all your hair needs. read more

I used to be the girl who let my friends cut my hair whenever it was time for a trim - I'm fairly frugal and never thought I'd become a regular at a salon. HOWEVER, all that changed after I went to Julee. I have now been going back regularly for a cut/weave for 3 years. Julee is an incredibly talented stylist. My color lasts for ages and grows out so subtly that I am always amazed. She'll be doing my hair for my wedding as well!! Last year I moved to San Francisco, but I still go to Julee and refuse to find a new stylist in the Bay Area - whenever I'm in town she manages to fit me in and I'm so grateful. The price is right, the salon is fun, clean, bright and professional. Parking is easy and they always greet you with a smile when you come in. I couldn't give a higher recommendation. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Julee @ Rocket Science. She is a master at her craft. I have complete confidence in everything she does. I always walk out of her salon with renewed confidence and my head held high. Thank you, Julee!!!!! read more

I love this salon! Staff is super friendly, and just an overall nice atmosphere. Every salon I've gone to in my neighborhood always messed up my bettie bangs or didn't understand what I wanted, even with a picture. I always ended up doing it myself, and not doing a good job I might add. My best friend was referred to Kitty by a mutual friend, and I was so impressed with her cut that I made an appointment as soon as possible. She does the best bettie bangs around and makes them fit your face perfectly, and that's hard to do since they wont work if they're too short or too long or if they dont curve the right way. She also makes time for you to come in for a bang trim every couple weeks. That's one of my favorite parts because my hair grows super fast. Now I wouldn't go to anyone else! I go to her for color, cut, styling for special events, and to get my bangs trimmed every few weeks! read more

Erin is the BEST!! I purchased a living social coupon for a cut and color based on all the good reviews and they're spot on! Erin took her time to make sure I was getting what I wanted, I couldn't be happier! read more

Rocket Science - Great work by Erin! Couldn't be any more happier with my lovely red fall look :) - Hair Salons Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

Today was my first visit at Rocket Science with Cassandra. She did an awesome job! She did EXACTLY what I wanted. Cassandra is easy to talk to and super entertaining. My hair is finally healthy and cute again. Thank you Cassandra! I'll see you in 6 weeks! read more

I scheduled a random appointment at Rocket Science over 5 years because I was tired of getting overcharged for shitty highlights & bad haircuts. I happened to be picked up by Kitty & she's been doing my hair ever since. I would never stray from someone who always does a fantastic job & charges a reasonable amount, and as a bonus, is just really awesome to be around. She's become more than just my hair stylist, she's more like a member of the family, and I can always trust her to make me look good! So if you're looking for someone who does amazing color & a corresponding awesome cut, and (bonus) is fun to talk to, Kitty's your girl! read more

Honey did a great job. She is very nice a profesional. She gave great suggestions for my curly hair.

Sarah is the best stylist around. She's new to Rocket Science, but has been doing my hair for years. I wouldn't let anyone else touch my hair! read more

Rocket Science - Great stylist Sarah!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

I've been getting my haircut here for a while now. A friend encouraged me to check it, I was hesitant as its a "salon" vs a barber shop, but apparently I don't know what I'm talking about because the girl who cuts my hair, Erin, leaves it looking great each time, and I wouldn't trust anyone else to leave it the same. Highly recommend this place and especially Erin read more

I have to update. Went in today for cut and color. We tried a different color today and I absolutely love it. I am so thankful that I found Rocket science and Wendy. Wendy listens to what you want and does exactly as you ask. Communication is so important with your stylist and I am so happy I found her. read more

Okay... So I'm pretty sure this is actually my first review on Yelp... EVER. And it's for Erin. It was my first visit at rocket science and my first haircut in over a year (don't judge me..) I've had so many terrible hair cuts and have tried to grow out my hair so they wouldn't go too short (as they always do.) But today with Erin she took the time to talk to me about my hair and listened when I told her about how much length I needed to take off. We both agreed I had a lot of dead, dried hair (from a previous ombré done over a year ago) But she wasn't fast to jump the gun and cut all of it off. Instead she cut little by little and asked me every cut of the way if I wanted to trim more. Which was really awesome. She added layers and was 100% honest about what each type of layer would do to the look of my hair (since I have very fine hair due to a lot of coloring) which was very helpful. She told me what she suggested for each step of the hair cut and I really loved the input. Not only was she very knowledgeable, but was very sweet. We talked the entire time making the experience that much better. So long story short, I'm in love with my haircut. It made such a huge difference to the entire look of my old ombré and hair in general and I'm definitely coming back to see Erin. I already booked another appointment for color in 2 weeks! Looks like I've found my hairstylist. Thank you so much Erin. I wish I had your number to personally thank you, but I'll be seeing you soon. :) read more

Rocket Science - It's not the best picture, but if you saw the before you would be amazed! Thank you again, Erin! - Hair Salons Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

I have been seeing Cassandra for some time now and she's great! I've asked her to do different colors like platinum blonde to purple hair, both tips and entire head, and and the most recent one is pink tips and I always come out loving my hair. She's super friendly and knows exactly what she's doing. I want to give her extra props due to the fact that I have very difficult hair(it's pretty dry and brittle and thin) and she always leaves it silky and shiny and beautiful and I just love her work! read more

First timer here. It was highly recommended. My hair had been through tough times, so what I expected from the stylist Mercy, I got. Not only did she recommend what was good for my hair she did an awesome job with it. Thank you Mercy I love my hair. read more

Book Erin now !! She is amazing. She was able to transform my hair from a very dark black to a honey caramel brown. I love her work !!! She is so attentive and she listens carefully to what you want. I can't say enough good things about her. Book her now! You won't be disappointed :] read more

I've been coming to Teresa angcacl for a year now and I couldn't be happier. Her service is amazing, I leave feeling like a new woman every time. read more

Last time I came in, I saw Erin for a color correction and she fully pulled all the red and purples out that I had for the last few years during my first visit! This last time we did a lavender that was perfect. She knew that it would take a few mixtures of purples to get it exactly like I'd like and it came out beautiful. She really takes her time and makes sure it's exactly what you want and nails it everytime. Definitely come in and see Erin and she'll make you feel like a brand new person! read more

I came here twice before and had good experiences. So when I called today to ask if there were any appointments available, I had high expectations. Unfortunately today was not a good experience. I called and after I told them what I needed they asked me to hold on a minute. They thought they put me on hold but they didnt... I could hear all of their personal conversations. At one point one of the girls in the background asked "oh do you have someone on the phone?". And the woman that answered the phone said "don't worry i put her on hold" and then continued their personal conversation. I gave it 5 minutes before I became upset and then I just wanted to see how long it would take for them to respond to me. I hung up after 10 Minutes!!!!! I then called back (they picked up immediately) and told them what happened and all they said was "I understand ". They never said sorry. It was very unprofessional and I will no longer bring my business here. read more

I really needed a hair cut, but the salon where I had previously had my hair done seemed to be screening clients...like my stylist only sees high $$ clients during the prime appt time? They couldn't fit me in at the time I wanted, so I hopped on yelp & found Rocket Science. Their receptionist was friendly & accomodating, she scheduled me with Hannah. I arrived a few minutes late but was greeted with a smile by another stylist who offered me a drink. In under a minute, I was sitting in Hannah's chair with a bottle of water, being complimented on my choice of cut by both Hannah & the stylist at the next station. Hannah was sweet, super friendly, & most importantly she knew what she was doing. She looked at the style photos I brought & gave me exactly what I wanted, making small adjustments so I could achieve the style with my super fine hair. The conversation flowed easily, which is saying a lot because I'm not good at making small talk for over an hour. When the cut was finished, Hannah recommended styling product, but wasn't pushy about making a sale (now that I'm home & see my hair in action, I kinda wish I had bought it lol). The cut was $45, which seems to be average priced for the greater LB area, and a steal for the service & skill I received. Every employee I came in contact with was genuinely friendly, the atmosphere was hip & chill, no pretention here! After one visit, I highly recommend both Rocket Science & Hannah! read more

I was looking to make the jump to a new salon and hair colorist/stylist and was recommended to Becky at Rocket Science by a friend who always has amazing hair. Becky was prompt for my appointment and really spent a lot of time talking to me before beginning on what my goals were. The space is nice and bright and lots of activity going on. I really like tight highlights to the scalp and she did not disappoint! She was extremely meticulous and did a perfect job weaving in a partial highlight. Her cut is also perfect for my hair type and I have been enjoying easy and stylish hair each day since I have seen her with very little effort. Thank you Becky and Rocket Science, I am looking forward to my next appointment! read more

If you are looking to get transformed and come out with the most beautiful hair go see Erin! She knows what she is doing and knows exactly what you want when even you aren't so sure of what that is! I always trust she is going to make my hair look amazing and she always impresses me!! I went from brunette to blonde back to brunette and back to blonde and she made each transformation flawless!! Thanks Erin :) read more

Cassandra did an excellent job! I was in a bind & needed hair fixing before maternity pics. The receptionist was so helpful too. She worked it & made it happen. Then hooked me up with miss Cassandra. I'm very happy with the results. Fun atmosphere too. I would def recommend this place. read more
