I have been loyally coming to Mo at Shear Steele Salon over the last 5 years. There is not an appointment where I ever walk out disappointed. I have moved across the country and I still wait until my trips back home to come see Mo (that's how good she is). She is extremely kind and trustworthy. I know that if I ever wanted her to surprise me one day, I could fully trust she would do a stellar job and make me look beautiful. I get both my haircuts and balayage done with her. I constantly get compliments on my hair and I eagerly urge friends to check Mo out. You won't be disappointed, go see Mo! read more

It's a shady business asking you to sign paperwork before they will do your hair. While Peter was coloring my hair he said it's good to put acupuncture needles on my head. I'm blind without my glasses and I didn't want it, but he insisted and he put them in. Is he even a licensed acupuncturist? Plus they use a coarse bristle brush to apply hair color to my scalp. It hurts. So expensive yet they can't buy better tools. They don't listen to their customers and force their own ways onto you. read more

Tracey, you are amazing as always. Fabulous to work with, so kind and accommodating, I love being able to describe what I want and always have you deliver. My daughter's haircut got so many compliments from other parents and other kids at her school; she's been so proud and confident with her new haircut. I appreciate your professionalism (always on time, never cutting corners on quality of service). Also, your creativity and your kindness are what keep me coming back year after year after year! read more

What an amazing experience! I have never gotten a better haircut than here! Mo took her time with me and has such an eye for detail. I have moved to Texas but still use my trips back home to get freshened up by her. There isn't anyone else I would trust with my hair! read more

THIS IS FOR THE ASIAN GIRLS THAT WANT THE BLONDE, NONBRASSY HAIR- YOU GOTTA SEE MO! I've been with Mo for 3 years now- i typically go back every 6-9 months, and only because my roots have grown in. My color always looks SO GOOD even after 6 months! It is NEVER brassy because she knows what she's doing, even with minimal maintenance. Her haircuts are also unrivaled and she knows it. Mo doesn't use assistants, so the whole time she will be continuously checking your color and placing all your highlights. Pricing is also great- I have flown down from NorCal to get my hair done since her prices are lower, and I know she will get the job done. I can't recommend her enough. read more

ASK FOR KC!! I've trusted KC with my crazy transitions of hair dying, balayage, & haircuts! My relationship with my favorite hair stylist, KC, has been one of my healthiest & most favored relationships. I absolutely hate sitting in the chair & being stuck in a salon for hours.. but he is so funny and an amazing conversationalist. He truly cares for his art & his clients. He will give you the best hair styles with the most brutally honest and genuine advice. Thank you KC for being my hair stylist, therapist, & long-term relationship ! KC is truly a talented artist in his craft. read more

Juliet has colored my hair several times now and I have loved each one! Even when my hair is a bit darker, she's been able to add lowlights to my hair to create dimension and depth. I'm always impressed by how natural she's able to dye my hair and blend out the balayage perfectly. She is super patient and it's clear that she cares a lot about how each person's hair turns out. Even though the appointments can often be hours long, Juliet is super bubbly and helps the time pass by quickly. She is also super detailed in her haircuts as well and takes her time to be precise. For one of my recent visits, near the end, my hair was turning out a bit lighter than I wanted. She offered to remix the color and tone my hair again to make sure that I left with the exact color I wanted! Definitely will be coming back and recommend Juliet if you're looking for a new stylist! Parking is relatively easy if you come in for a morning appointment but will get trickier the later you go as the salon is in a plaza next to some popular restaurants. read more

Mo is the best! I've been coming to her for the past 2 years and always leave the salon more than satisfied. She takes her time to make sure each cut is exactly what I ask for. She also did my blonde and my hair still felt healthy over the sessions. I think it took 2 sessions from virgin hair to reach platinum. Mo tries to get to know you, so we always end up having good conversations in the chair. The rest of the staff are friendly too! read more

My wife is a regular with Mo for her cut and color for many years I was due for a haircut and Mo introduced me to KC for haircut and I gotta say I was not disappoint. KC did a great job!! I will be coming back for my haircut from now on. read more

Diem has been working on my hair for a decade!! She moved down Southern California so I only get to see her a few times a year when I fly down for a visit. She is the sweetest, down to earth person you can meet. I always love my hair transformation. + she did my hair, makeup for my wedding . Highly recommend to all of my friends and co workers. read more

Truly love this salon and the staff here! The quality of service, from attention to detail to friendliness, is second to none, and throughout the years, prices have stayed very reasonable. I pretty much always ask for Mo to do my haircuts because she intuitively understands the look/aesthetic I'm going for and I've always been more than happy with the results--giving my absolute, highest recommendation for this place!! read more

Honestly, I've been to a few different hair salon in the area through out the years and although they're nice cuts, I'm never 100% happy with my haircuts. Either they don't sit right the days after I leave the salon or I'll find some minor mistakes after. Cut to meeting KC here and he's been my go-to hair stylist since! When I bring reference photos, I get honest opinions on what hair style fits me most and he really does work with you to get a haircut that you're genuinely happy about. Could not be happier with the service I've received whether its for a hair coloring or just a cut. The price is a bit on the higher side compared to other hair salons but you really do get a higher quality cut; I definitely recommend checking them out if you're looking to change it up. read more

So in love with my new hair! KC has been cutting and coloring my hair for more than 4 years. Literally the only person who touches my hair because he knows it so well. I got an ashy brown balayage and added some wispy curtain bangs. The entire process was great and I highly recommend coming here! He was patient and gentle the whole time. Really friendly and personable staff in a bright and welcoming salon. Instantly you feel at home. :-) they're realistic and honest (but not intimidatingly so) about the color and style you want so your end result is sure to be flattering! read more

I have been coming to Mo for years, even after I moved to south Orange County I still make the drive to come and see her because no one cuts and colors like Mo. She is not only an expert in hair, she is also friendly, making all the visits like catching up with an old friend. The salon is bright and airy, modern, spacious, clean, and easy to find, with plenty of parking just out front. The cut and color pricing for the caliber of service, cannot be beat. I always leave with beautiful and healthy hair! Make sure you book Mo fast because she does get busy. read more

Juliet always brings my dreams to life! I'm prone to making last minute changes, but she always has me covered. For my last visit, I went in bc I wanted dark purple hair, but as we got to talking, I decided lavender was the way to go. I couldn't be happier with my results! read more

Not sure why it's an appointment only base, when they don't even show up for their own appointment. Made appointment on Tuesday at 11, show up 15 mins early and waited till 10:59. Lights were off no one show up,So I left. Called to see said he was there exactly 11 and I wasn't there. ( okay, fine I was too impatient to wait) said I can come after 2 and he be available. I said I be there after 2:30 after picking up my kid. Arrive at 2:35, their busy working on client. Waited 15-20 mins, said I can't wait any longer I have appointment at 3:30 for dentist appointment. Reschedule for the next day at 11:30, show up at 11:25. Waited til 11:45 and the shop Was lock, lights were off, no show. Okay, I get it, probably not worth the lousy $40 haircut. This was just a sign for me to not get my hair cut here. If they don't honor their own appointment, how would they treat your hair. Sorry, but I work on the customer service industry too. Not all customers are right but please put in effort to show your customer you care. If you can't make it to an appointment, let them know. So you can save them time and effort. read more

Let me start by saying I'm maybe one of the most fickle people you will meet. I rescheduled my appointment three...yes, THREE times. And Richard (the owner). treated me with such patience and understanding. Before I even set foot in the salon, I felt very welcomed and taken care of. Getting a balayage has been something I've been waiting years to do (partially out of fear haha, partially because...yes, I'm fickle), but Mo spelled everything out for me and made sure I was fully aware of all the possibilities and options. She worked with me based on my hair color and how it naturally fades to show me what color would be best for my highlights. Mo was super fun and friendly. I could write a novel on the great advice she gave me (nothing to do with hair, everything to do with my personal life haha), but she made my experience so wonderful and worth while. I'm so happy with my balayage and even though it's always in a wig cap for work, on the rare occasions it's down, I get lots of compliments! Thank you so much Shear Steele team! read more

Beyond disappointed in the results I received after spending $250+tip. I had come in for a root touch up and wanted to add pink to my ends. Peter had boasted that the bleach they use is very gentle. After my first wash with purple shampoo( 2 days after salon visit) the area that had been bleached was extremely gummy/sticky coming out of the shower and that area turned bright silver while the rest of my hair is still brassy. It takes about 2-3 hours for the bleached areas to completely dry. Once it dries, it is so damaged and crispy. The color was so uneven and the pink had already started to fade... After letting Peter know I'm very dissatisfied with the results he told me he can't offer a refund nor partial refund, but he can give me Olaplex to take home. Instead of acknowledging he destroyed my hair, he blamed me for having Asian hair?? And that I don't know how to use purple shampoo?? Never in my life had I experienced so much damage from bleach. And I've never had a problem with my purple shampoo that I have been using for over a year. I really hesitated to post a review. But I went to see 2 different hair specialists who both told me he over processed the bleach. This was my initial suspicion yet Peter tried to convince me it was my hair and not his fault. The other 2 specialists also told me, "no matter how many treatments you use, the area he bleached will never recover." read more

This review is for itzel! I had an appointment with her for a lob hair cut and she is amazing! I love how she uses nice tools like the t3 curling iron and the dyson hair dryer. She is also very easy to talk to and attentive to how you want your hair to look. I thought paying $45 + tip for a haircut was quite pricey, but it was worth it for the experience I had. It took a little over an hour to get my hair washed, cut, and curled. read more

I am still driving all the way from IE to visit Mo for her amazing haircuts for more than 5 years now! I can personally confirm that her haircuts are unmatched! I only visit her once a year due to my busy schedule. I still receive compliments on my hair even months after the haircut. She def takes pride in her work and won't let you leave the salon until she and you both agree it looks fantastic! If you're on the fence about this salon, give it a try because you will never have to search for another read more

I've been coming here for years yet kept forgetting to write a review. Sooo here it goes... I love coming here bc of Mo and Lisa! They are genuinely really sweet people. They're very talented and honest about their work. The mother and daughter duo runs the whole salon here in Avery busy plaza. I came in with my daughter for a well deserved haircut and of course we had to come see Mo. We asked to have my daughter's hair chopped to donate. Mo gave her a really cute texture bop. She combed through the layers of hair and textured it carefully. Then it was my turn. I requested to have my hair texturally trimmed with medium length. She did exactly as I had requested. I love how both of our cuts turned out. Mo's daughter, Lisa, is excellent with dyed hair styles, I mean, just look at her work! I've referred a few friends/family here to get their hair colored and no one had anything negative to say! If you're looking for someone talented with fair pricing, they place is always a win! Highly recommend Mo and Lisa for your hair dos! read more

I would give it a 0.5 if I could. My hair which was healthy prior to my session here was damaged. I have had my hair done before so I understand bleach damages the hair but this time my hair went much lighter and was so damaged. It was to the point whenever it touched water it would turn gummy and break off and tangle. I was told I just needed to brush out my hair before showering and then just keep the conditioner in longer. But none of these worked because my hair was so damaged. My hair was not this fragile from my last balayage session in a previous salon so I knew something was wrong. My hair was left in bleach way to long in the foils since they were working on other clients, they should know better then to kept bleach in long. I also had very streaky colors with a bunch of different colors going on, some very blonde some much darker. I also found out (4 months after) I had permanent dye on my roots which left a slight orange band the top of my hair, if I had known while getting my hair done I wouldn't have agreed. Another salon I usually go to do not put permanent dye because these create a band and do not come off, the only way to remove is to let it grow out. If you do not want your hair to be damaged do not come. Would not recommend! I spent 8 hours to get damaged hair! The only reason why I gave it a 0.5 is because they were nice. read more

I've been coming to Shear Steele for many years now and this updated review is long overdue! I've had my hair cut and colored by Mo, Lisa, and KC! The staff here is friendly and meticulous with your hair. My hair has never been healthier than before and I always love every cut and color done. If you're looking for a place where they genuinely take their time to care for you and your hair, this is the place! The cut shows how experienced and skilled they are. You pay for the quality you get ~ Thank you Shear Steele for everything and I can't wait to see you guys soon :) read more

I had previous hair color and I had a horrible experience before with some other stylist and she completely over processed my hair and absolutely destroyed my hair.

I was looking for a new salon around Garden Grove to get my hair done and came across Shear Steele Salon on yelp. They had good reviews and I liked the work that I saw on their photos so I decided to try them out. From other reviews, people seemed to really like Peter so I decided to book my appt online with him. I definitely recommend Shear Steele Salon as well as Peter. The salon itself is nice, modern, and was very clean. Peter was fantastic! Very professional and definitely knows what he's doing. He was helpful in picking colors, was very attentive, and made sure to explain each step of the process to me. He even asked if I wanted to order food since the process would take several hours - overall excellent customer service. I asked for an ash brown balayage and absolutely loved the outcome! Peter also was great in giving advice to add to the longevity of my hair color once the process was done. The price was reasonable (a little more pricey for me since my hair is long and very thick) and I would 10/10 definitely recommend! read more

Shear Steele Salon - Ash brown balayage by Peter - Hair Salons Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I've been dying my hair for a little over 5 years now, which means I've been to A LOT of different salons. This was BY FAR the best experience I've had at a salon. The owner and Peter, the person who worked on my hair, was so friendly. I was booked at 5:00pm and my appointment lasted until 10:00pm, so the owner went over to buy sushi to-go for me (using my card). Peter gave me recommendations and explained to me what each step of the process as he was working on my hair. I went from a yellow like blonde to ash brown/blonde. The process took about 5 hours and it costed around $270 without tip. I also bought purple shampoo from the store for only $15 which was nice because other salons typically over charge. The only thing that took me by surprise was that I had an appointment with Peter, but Hailey was also working on my hair on some parts and Hailey was the one who cut my hair. Typically, at other salons, only one person works on my hair, so that was a bit odd for me, but other than that, everything was great! For those who are not regulars here, just know that parking in this plaza is a little difficult sometimes. Plan accordingly! read more

I've been coming here for years and I love getting my hair cut by Mo! My hair always comes out exactly how I ask for it to be cut.

Thanks KC for cutting my hair for over 10 years. I appreciate you so much! Couldn't ask for a better hair stylist. It's always hard to find someone you can really trust to cut your hair but I'm glad I have someone that I trust. He knows what I want and need for my hair always. read more

KC is a heaven sent! My sister-in-law referred me to KC & Thank Goodness we were able to get an appointment with him! He did an amazing job with my 18-yr-old daughter's hair right before prom. He understands Asian hair & talked through every step. He also gave awesome advice for growing hair out. I am growing my hair out, so I haven't made my appointment with him yet. But, after staying with my previous hairdresser for 8+ years with hit or miss results, I'm ready to make a change. I can't wait to come in for my first appointment with him to work his magic on me too! read more

I wanted to get my hair done (ombre) and my friend recommended Peter and oh my i would like to thank her!!

I can tell Peter knows what hes doing so i left my trust with him and just relaxed.. 6 hours later I went from some cheap asian hair salon dye job to a gorgeous beautiful new hair do ! Thanks Peter!

Tracey La, is a hair angel sent from above. I travel 100 miles to have her do her magic on my hair. The quality of the products she uses in your hair is top quality and will last a long time and doesn't turn orange. She has so many years of experience with all hair but she's an expert with the Asian hair. Her pricing is a steal for what she does to your hair. I walked out of the salon with so much confidence and a huge smile on my face. She is just amazing, professional and kind. read more
