MERNOOSH IS THE BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT MASTER!!!! Can't thank her enough for saving my thick Persian hair from gross to gorgeous! Fast too! Not to mention she's the biggest sweetheart! Trust me I'm extremely picky w these treatments & nothing ever seemed to work but her hands saved my hair! I can actually let it down w out a fro haha read more

This was my first time here with Mehrnoosh and this is a review on overall experience. Salon is super dark so you can't see anything that's being done to your hair. She was also rushing with me because she also was doing another clients hair at the same time. I was getting a Keratin treatment while the other woman was getting her hair dyed so keratin isn't something to be rushed through as it's literally burning hair and has to be well timed with product applying etc. she literally rushed so bad she did the whole keratin treatment within 30 mins. read more

I've been coming to Mernoosh for over 4 years now. She's absolutely amazing. My hair has never been more healthy and beautiful. I get a Brazilian blowout done every 3-4 months. Everyone at the salon is fabulous. I highly recommended Studio M Hair Design for all your hair needs read more

I reached out to - whom I assume to be the owner, Mernoosh. I am in need of single process color and a Brazilian blowout. I sent a pic of my hair to show length. I was told it would be $350 total. I then mention that I bought a Groupon for the Brazilian blowout, so I asked what cost would be with that factored in. Mind you, I paid $100 for what is listed as a $250 service. Mernoosh replied that the Groupon meant I would pay only the difference... Assuming that this meant the Groupon value was deducted from that (again, $250), I responded to confirm that I would pay the difference of $100. She replied that the difference would be $250. (???) I asked for clarification on the Groupon being factored in, and she tells me that I paid $100 for the Groupon, so $100 would be deducted from the amount owed. *Long, confused pause* I then point out that the Groupon is meant to be a discount....not to pay $100 and get $100 towards my services. She says the services would normally be $450 and that I am getting a discount. Yeah, okay, Mernoosh. She also says very plainly that all I would have to pay is $200 total.......Uhhhhh, $100 + $250 = $350 but okay.... What in the delusional-hair-hell is this? Are you not understanding that Groupon is for the sole purpose of bringing in new customers AT A DISCOUNT, or are you just trying to trick me into a ridiculous price because you assume I can't do basic math? Either way, yeah no. I am willing to concede that an upcharge is reasonable because my hair is med-long length. But to be paying what she would charge any person off the street (and be stuck going back to Groupon for a refund)...what a waste of time. If you think you're too good to honor a Groupon, don't waste other people's time by using Groupon as a trap for new customers. That's not how you build a clientele. read more

I got my first Brazilian blowout and I am in LOVE. Mernoosh is super helpful on giving tips for your blowout to last longer, the service was extremely fast, and the price is great! Definitely recommend! :) read more

If you need a great salon with the best hairdresser this is the place to be!! Mernoosh is amazing! She was attentive and took extra care to make me look my best. Definitely coming back here. read more

Kristie made sure I got the results I really wanted, taking my normal golden locks to a next level Khaleesi platinum. She knew it was important to me to protect my hair too. The olaplex really protects your hairs health, necessary for my dry hair when bleaching. Super grateful for her to go out of her way during all the craziness. I have an event coming up and the fresh look is such a confidence booster! Thanks again read more

I had a wonderful experience with Mermoosh at studio M! We spoke a while back regarding an appointment after I had purchased her Groupon. She was very up front about the additional charge I would need to pay after send her photos of my hair. I was definitely expecting and up charge as I do MY PART as a consumer to read the fine print. I see some negative reviews regarding this but it is CLEARLY put up front in her Groupon. I wasn't able to make an appointment as early as I had wanted to but when I reached back out to her she was just as friendly and awesome as our first time speaking. She's so engaging and easy to be around. We had fun conversation about cooking and life. Not only that but my hair came out absolutely amazing. I can't remember the last time o went to a salon and genuinely LOVED my out come. I will be recommending her to friends and family and WILL be returning!!!! read more

Just came back in to get a Brazilian blowout and I am so thrilled. I was actually running late to the appointment but Mernoosh was more than understanding and incredibly kind. I don't know why it took me so long to get another Brazilian blowout after my first one was done. My hair lasted four months with all of Mernoosh's tips and it looked the best it has ever looked. Absolutely love coming here as she is literally the sweetest person and amazing at Brazilian blowouts. I cannot thank her enough for saving my hair!! read more

Be cautious with buying a Groupon for this establishment, wanted to charge an extra $65 for a Brazilian blowout. All the salons qualify the purchase with the hair length, my hair isn't long, maybe an inch past my shoulders and she added that much of an up charge. read more

I bought a Groupon for a Brazilian Blowout and was impressed. Mernoosh was gentle, thorough and the entire experience was under 2 hours. I can tell when a Brazilian Blowout is done correctly when after washing my hair, my hair is frizz free. Yes, that's what the treatment is supposed to do; however, some places don't deliver that. I sometimes think the product was watered down. I plan on returning to Mernoosh, I am truly happy and satisfied with her skill level and service delivery. read more

I found Mernoosh from Groupon and then did some Yelp research on her. She had such great genuine reviews on Yelp which really influenced my decision to book with her. I left her a message pretty late in the evening and she called me back a short time later. I really didn't expect to hear from her until the next day due to the time but was so pleasantly surprised. I explained that I wanted to be seen ASAP and she offered me an appointment just two days out! She was very professional on the phone and made sure to provide me with the exact cost my appointment would be so there would be no surprises. I really appreciated that. Her salon is located in a small shopping center with plenty of parking and meters. She's upstairs in a super clean and cute salon. I loved the way the salon was decorated and it just has a really welcoming feel to it. I'm in a new city and the idea of finding a new stylist literally had me stressing. But right when I walked into the salon, I knew I made the right choice. Mernoosh was so fast and graceful. She did such a thorough job and fast! I had a Brazilian Blowout and Haircut. My hair is SO silky, soft and frizz free ANNNNND I LOVE MY CUT. She really listened to me and got it. Easy. read more

I've been going to Mernoosh for a little Over 3 years and I thank my cousin for introducing her to me all the time. I've been so pleased with her work. She actually listens to what you want and also puts in her opinion to help you find the look and color you're looking for. I get a lot of work done with her, from simple root touch ups to major color and ombré change to Brazilian blowout. Recently I got extensions and I'm beyond please. I get compliments all the time. Not only did she color match it perfect but she's placed them in so perfectly! She makes me look and feel amazing! My whole family goes to her along with many friends. She's not just our hair dresser, she's family. read more

After doing some research on where to get my hair done and getting price quotes for various salons, I chose Studio M Hair Design, although it hasn't been reviewed very many times, it stuck out to me. I requested Laura, who was absolutely wonderful, and honestly I made the right choice. Laura was professional and sweet right from the start. When I called the salon to make an appointment, the owner (who is also very accomodating and genuine) forwarded my request to Laura, who called me within minutes to set up an appointment for the following day (I was in a time-crunch). Now, I've never had my hair professionaly colored, and I was going from a light strawberry blonde to a dark chestnut brunette, and I was so nervous. I brought in various pictures of hair and Laura was extremely helpful, my best friend and her decided on the color, which turned out phenomenal. After coloring my hair, she gave me a trim and some layers, and I am usually almost ALWAYS disappointed with my haircuts, but not this time. She gave me volume and life with her hair cut, I couldn't be happier. I'm definitely going back to her next time, I am so happy to have finally found a great hair stylist!! read more

Studio M Hair Design - From blonde to this. :) Love it! - Hair Salons Near Me - Newport Beach, California

The staff was nice and courteous. The last step of the process was not performed. The stylist did however provide a reason for that and it appears that the last step is not done for many people from the other comments. It would be nice to have this on the site so people know exactly what they are paying for. read more

Mehrnoosh is the best hair stylist. She cares about the service and treatment and the results have been great, whether hair color or Brazilian Blowout. She is consistent and kind, highly recommend her salon to others looking for great hair and service. read more

I found this little jewel place from a Groupon that my boyfriend had bought me for a Brazilian blowout back in 2013. Here I am 3 years later :) Mernoosh, owner, moves fast yet gracefully, proves her years of experience. I've come to her for Brazilian blowout, haircut, new hair style, color/toning, balayage, ombre, and a color correction (went for someone else based on recommendation, that was a mistake). She executes hair perfectly and that's why I keep coming back to her. She gives you exactly what you want and gives you her professional advice when you ask for it. She is good at communicating and books appointments within reasonable time. Her work on color is amazing!! And she has very good brand name products (smell so good n_n). She is funny, cute, and overall a humble sweet person. I will be coming here for as long as I can!! No complaints. read more

Ask for Kristie. She is extremely talented and a pleasure when I get my hair done. 10 stars!

I purchased a Groupon for Studio M Hair Design for a Brazilian Blowout. I have shoulder length, curly, thin-ish hair. I did some research on the Brazilian Blowout and it seemed like a good option to reduce the maintenance level on my hair. After getting the treatment I waited 3 days and washed my hair using sulfate and alcohol free shampoo and conditioner. For a few days my hair looked really nice, but the treatment wore off very quickly, when I straighten my hair it doesn't stay very straight, it curls under at the bottom, it is a little frizzy at the top. I've had it for a little over a month and hair looks the same or maybe a little worse than it did before, maybe not as curly, but that is almost more disappointing because it is in this ugly in-between stage of curly and straight, so I can't just leave it alone. read more

My favorite hairdresser. She is so amazing the complete doll. I'm new to the area but I was blessed to have found her.

Very clean and professional. Beautiful studio. Listened carefully and brought the vision in my head to life. Genuinely cares about her work very much! read more

I was really excited to get my hair done, the place has good reviews and it seemed like a perfect place to do my first blowout. I got a groupon for Brazilian blowout. I don't have crazy hair, it's naturally straight, I just wanted something to make it less frizzy and lower maintenance. I waited 3 days before washing or wetting my hair, and after my first wash (which I use sulfate and alcohol free shampoo and conditioner) my hair looks no different than it did prior to the treatment. I updated my review from 2 stars to 4 stars, as the owner did message me and offer me a free re-do service. Since it is a drive for me, I declined, but appreciated that she took the time to read my review and act on it. read more

My son is very happy with haircut. Exactly as on the picture shown to the stylist. Great service!

I love going to Studio M and seeing Mernoosh! She is great at what she does. I believe its been 4 years or so since I have started the Brazilian Blowout to my super curly hair! It makes all the difference! Always get compliments. My hair is much easier to style and it feels so great. I also get the color done by Mernoosh and she always gets it right. Thank you Mernoosh! read more

I recently experienced my first Brazilian Blow Out with Mernoosh. I was frazzled from a tough week and nervous about what to expect. Mernoosh was super calming and reassuring that I would be fine and my hair would be great. She began with a root touch up which looked fantastic and then did the blow out. Those first 3 days - I was definitely worried as my hair was super flat - but like silk! I have now lived with the blow out for two weeks and I have to say, it is gorgeous and my hair looks incredibly healthy and my root color is perfect! Thank you Mernoosh! I am super glad that I took a chance with a new hair stylist! You are a sweetheart and I am so glad I met you! See you in a few weeks! read more

Curly haired ladies - you know how you've secretly envied the sleek, shiny hair your straight haired gal pals have? Well, a Brazilian Blowout is your answer and Mernoosh is your hair styling goddess! I have to admit it. I had so many hesitations about getting a Brazilian Blowout - I didn't want to waste time or money if it didn't work, I didn't want my hair to get damaged, I didn't know if I was ready to "give up" my curly hair... BUT! Getting one was excellent life decision number 1,234,695! I cannot tell you how much of a game changer this has been. I have VERY thick, coarse curly hair. My hair used to take about 50 mins for a blowout and now it takes about 20. If I choose to wear my hair curly there is NO FRIZZ! Just beautiful curls without the bulk. I love that I have versatility that I haven't had my whole life. I can go sleek ponytail, or wavy messy bun. And the best part is my hair is noticeably healthier with drastically reduced breakage, and a silky texture. It has lasted almost four months and I am just about to make an appointment for another one. Pro-tip: Follow the instructions and use sulfate free shampoo and allow a couple days between washes. Mernoosh has such a sweet spirit and you will not find a more qualified professional. The charming salon located near the beach is thoughtfully appointed, open and breezy. I'm so glad I found her and you will be too! read more

I got my Brazilian about a month ago so this review is long over due but I wanted to make sure I still loved my hair because if I didn't, I would give this place a 1 star. I'm giving it a 3 because my hair looks fab!! I bought a group on for $99 for a Brazilian blow out. I've been wanting to get one for a while and the reviews for this place was great, so I decided to try it out. Before I bought my group on, I spoke to Mernoosh, the owner, and she said that it would be an extra 80 dollars because my hair was so long and thick. That made sense and my total would still be cheaper than other places. I decided to go for it. Mernoosh is very sweet, but she isn't professional. My appointment lasted almost 2 hours but it seemed like she was more concerned with her phone. She was texting and answering her phone the entire time. She did ask me if it's okay for her to take a call, but I'm not going to say no. She's a grown freaking woman, do what you want girl. But just know it's very unprofessional. Before she even looked at my hair, she said she would trim it. She didn't even ask me. But I thought okay, might as well get healthy because I knew the tips of my hair were really dry. And a trim shouldn't be too much more money. All she did was trim and she charged me an extra 40 bucks. ON JUST A TRIM! I've gotten full on hair cuts at that price. I was not happy. Had she told me it would be 40 bucks extra, I would have said no. She just made a decision on her own and trimmed my hair. Money hungry! Although I do love my hair, I wouldn't get a Brazilian again because I work out so much, and every time you work out with a Brazilian, you have to wash your hair because salt and sweat isn't good for it. And the more you wash your hair, the more the Brazilian fades out. It's for people who sit there and only want to look pretty, in my opinion. And even if I wanted a Brazilian, I wouldn't come back to this place. It's a small cute studio on PCH with plenty of parking outside. It's located on the second floor. Convenient location but they rip you off. Well, she ripped me off. The studio is also very clean. Like I said, I love my hair. She did a great job with the blowout and my trim, but way overpriced and I feel like she kept upping the price cus I didn't know better. Messing with the wrong girl lady! read more

This review is for Kristi. I got keratin treatment here from livingsocial for $99. My hair does seem healthier so I'm happy with the treatment itself. However, i WASN'T TOO HAPPY ABOUT PAYING AN UNEXPECTED CHARGE AT THE END... My hair had split ends so Kristi gave me a little trim along the ends during the keratin treatment. And at the end when I presented my livingsocial voucher, I was asked to pay an additional $50 for the haircut. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind paying for a haircut. What i mind is not being told about the charge upfront. I FELT GYPPED..... but paid since I already received the haircut. I was hesitant to write this review because Kristi seemed like a nice person. And she told me they just established this business a year ago. So Kristi please do know i'm not writing this to be hurtful. But really, to me IT'S JUST FAIR PRACTICE TO LET CUSTOMERS KNOW IN ADVANCE IF THEY'RE TO RECEIVE A SERVICE THEY'D LATER BE CHARGED FOR. Gaining customer loyalty is a critical aspect of any business. And I can only imagine this is especially important for a service-oriented business like this one. Even if i have to pay more elsewhere, i'd much appreciate and prefer being told possible charges in advance. read more

I LOVE KRISTIE SUTTON!!!! I've been going to Kristie for... oh my gosh, at least 6 years now. The past 4 years I've been driving down from LA just to get my hair done by her. I've learned my lesson over and over, thinking I could go to someone else for "just a trim" or a keratin treatment or extensions, and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I'm back at Kristie's salon asking her to please fix my hair. And she does it effortlessly. I used to be very, very particular about my hair, and now I just let her do whatever she wants; I want, I trust her that much. Ladies, if you're growing your hair out and are tired of going in for "just a trim" and coming out 3 inches shorter, go to Kristie, she actually listens to what you want (what a concept, right, but it's gone badly for me so many times with other people). Kristie does my color, cut and Brazilian blowouts. Worth every penny. She's funny, sweet, and almost like the older, kinda rebellious sister I never had! The salon is small, cozy, and clean, and such a beautiful location right off PCH! read more

Kristie is AMAZING! Went to this salon and was completely satisfied and happy with the entire experience. Checked them out and found a now deal on groupon for a Brazilian Blowout, I called made an appointment and showed up. It was so easy and the service was great. The salon has a warm & cozy feel. As soon as I walked in I knew I made the right choice. All of the stylists were super friendly and pleasant. My stylist was Kristie she was one of the best stylists I have ever dealt with. She left my dry frizzy hair looking so straight, smooth and soft. I absolutely LOVE my hair now. THANK YOU STUDIO M! read more
