    This man has magical hair fingers or something. I've gone to Erik for literally every stage of my hair for the past 3 years. I had a side shave with designs, went from long hair to short hair with bangs, teal hair, blue hair, purple hair, red hair, RED AND PURPLE hair. He's done it all. I've recently moved to San Diego and had 2 different hair experiences that weren't NEARLY as good as Erik. My hair feels betrayed. I've made the decision to drive an hour and some change for my hair.

    I've been going to see Erik for a long time and have followed him from the location at The District. I love this new location since it's much closer to me. He is flexible with his schedule and communicates well. I trust Erik with my hair completely! He gives great suggestions and I usually go with whatever he suggests because the end results always looks amazing. I told Erik I was going to do a DIY engagement shoot while getting my hair colored and he brainstormed some quick and easy hair styles I could try out. It was super helpful since I was doing my own hair and makeup. I highly recommend him!

    I finally decided I wanted to try extensions and I asked Erik if he would do them. I've gotten them installed/moved up a few times now and he does a great job!!! They look so natural and blend really well with my natural hair. Since this was my first time getting tape-in extensions, he gave me a lot of great advice on how to take care of the extensions and my actual hair. I've always loved how much he cares about maintaining the integrity of my hair. I highly recommend going to him for extensions, especially if you're new to them like I was. :)

    100/10! Erik is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! (Yes, the emphasis was necessary). Erik is extremely talented and very attentive to detail. He will spend all the necessary time to hear out your ideas/wants as well as share his input/advice. Rest assured that when you ask for his opinion, he will be 100 % honest. I had a great time getting my hair professionally cut and colored (first time!!)! Plus, he is funny! Just a great character to be around. He also makes sure that you are always comfortable, even offering you a snack. I felt relaxed throughout the entire process- as if I was hanging out with a close friend. Go get your hair done by Erik! I attached some photos below of my before and after.

    Loving my new highlights and cut I got from Erik the other day! Exactly what I asked for and super knowledgeable about all aspects of color and technique.

    @thehairrobot gave me a showstopper with this cut and color

    Erik has been cutting my hair for a few years now. He is professional, kind, informative, and makes an effort to give clients his undivided attention. He provides his clients with a lot of useful tips on how to style your hair after the cut and never pushes unnecessary products. His cuts always achieve the style that I requested- fresh, professional, and edgy. For 30 years I have never colored my hair, but after seeing Erik's work on Instagram (You can follow him on Instagram @thehairrobot) I wanted to undergo a hair transformation after seeing his skills. I reached out to him and booked a consultation for my dark asian hair to be dyed for a grey ombre effect. During the consultation he attentively listened and was very patient with all my questions. His answers were very honest and upfront about the reality of my request and what it would potentially take to achieve the results that I desired. I appreciated that he gave a fair and upfront price quote so there was no surprises before service even started. After speaking to him I felt very informed and he helped me make the right decision for my hair. After 2 coloring sessions I am extremely happy and impressed with the results. The photos I attached to this review doesn't even do it justice. Since then, I have been a returning client now for over a year, and each time Erik far surpasses my high expectations in every way. Most notably, during these coloring sessions I also learned that Erik has a commitment to industry related education and constantly keeps up with his professional development and research. While already having solid talent and skills, he humbly stays current on the newest trends, techniques, products and technology to always provide all his clients the highest quality cut and color experience possible. I truly respect his passion for hair, I trust in his experience, and he is genuinely at the heart of it all-- an artist. I fully stand by this business and know that I will be a returning client for many years to come.

Now that this ignoramus is in charge, everything has gone downhill customer service wise. I would be sad to leave Atlas (she is my go to girl & I was supposed to take my daughter in to see her before our family vacation, but I was so livid with ALI, I cancelled my appointments). I really don't want to get into the drama, but I need to tell the truth, so others will know. First of all, have spent an obscene amount of money here, and I will happily do so IF ownership gave a damn about their loyal clients and didn't treat them like garbage. **I'm referring to ALI, The jerk of an owner who has no clue what customer service really means. ** That said, I will be removing my pictures from this page. You do NOT have my consent to use my likeness or any member of my family's likeness to your benefit. If you continue to do so, I will file a cease and desist order. Additionally, Gabe, the sweet gentleman who cuts my hair, NO LONGER works here. You can find him at VOGUE SALON in Newport Beach. This is directed to you, ALI: I have addressed these incident(s) to your silent partner. If these situations are NOT rectified, I will have no choice but to leave, take my people, and find another salon. Let me make this CRYSTAL CLEAR: I will NOT tolerate your behaviour, ALIREZA. Rectify the situation, or not. Either way, I will very likely have to find a new salon.

Valet is apparently free, but I found street parking in front of OSPI. I initially found SAGE on Yelp, then visited their website to learn more before booking. I really appreciated how transparent they are. Each stylist has a profile with a bio and a picture. The services and individual pricings are listed upfront in the booking portal, which made it easy to choose someone who fit what I was looking for. Price transparency is important to me, and at the very end I was charged exactly what I booked. My stylist was Mikayla, and she was incredibly meticulous/detail-oriented. She spent about 4.5 hours perfecting my Full Highlights, and I never felt like she was rushing through any part of the process. During the consultation, I felt heard. She listened to what I wanted without any judgment or pressure to steer me toward a different outcome. Instead, the conversation felt collaborative, with explanations that helped me make informed decisions. I know for some, having to chat for all that time may be daunting. Mikayla struck the perfect balance between friendly conversation and giving me space. She clearly communicated each step of the process before doing it. My Full Highlights service included foiling, toning, a shadow root, a hair mask, and a full blowout. I'm so happy with how everything turned out!

Colby really took the time to listen to what I wanted and understood exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to keep my long hair while adding movement and shape, and he absolutely nailed it. My hair finally looks the way I had envisioned. Beyond his talent, he was incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout the appointment. Before I left, he even let me know that if there was anything I'd like adjusted after living with the haircut for a few days, he'd be happy to take care of it. That level of care and attention really stood out. I'm so glad I found both SAGE and Colby. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a stylist who truly listens and delivers.

When I first started going to her, my hair was super damaged and short, and over time she completely transformed it. My hair is now so much healthier, longer, and stronger thanks to her care and consistency. She always takes her time, listens to exactly what I want, and somehow makes my hair come out even better every time!! She also does my extensions and blends them so perfectly. I always leave feeling pretty, and refreshed after my appointments!!! Not only is she amazing at what she does, but she's also such a sweet and caring person who truly cares about her clients.

I went to her in October for a refresh of my highlights. I was already nervous, since my previous stylist had moved away and always took great care of my fine hair, making sure it never got damaged. I told Caitlyn upfront that I was anxious about letting someone new bleach my hair, given a history of stylists frying it, and that I chose her specifically because she's a senior stylist. She reassured me she doesn't use heat dryers and starts with a low developer, so my hair would be fine. Once I was in the chair, I explained exactly what I wanted: a little brighter, a refresh of all my highlights, but keeping the dark root and dimension shown in my before photo. She agreed and got started. She never mentioned pricing, so I assumed it would be around $400 at most. During the appointment, she suggested going through my ends because they looked dark. I said maybe next time, since I wanted to preserve the integrity of my hair. Later, she mentioned she'd gone ahead and done a few extra pieces at the bottom anyway something I never asked for. By the time she finished washing my hair, it was already dark outside, so I told her not to worry about blow-drying it. I went home with wet hair. Even then, it looked extremely blonde, which worried me, but I assumed it was just because it was wet. At checkout, I was shocked: the total came to $650. I left a tip anyway because she was watching the screen as I paid and I felt put on the spot. (Receipts attached.) When I got home, my husband immediately said my hair looked way too blonde and pointed out broken pieces. He was right. Over the next few days, it kept breaking. My hair had taken years to get healthy, and in one appointment it became dry, brittle, and was falling out. The extra strands she did without asking only made the breakage worse. I ended up buying box dye to fix the color myself, since I hated how it looked. As of June 2026, I've had to cut at least 8 inches off, and I'm still working to repair the damage. This experience caused me real distress -- I loved my hair, and I deeply regret trying a new stylist. I'm sharing this so it doesn't happen to anyone else. Before, after, and current photos are attached.

I wasn't surprised by that comment, I knew Tiffany was in a league of her own. When I was browsing for a hairdresser to do extensions for me for the first time, I came across her instagram page and I was drawn to her work ethic and the pride she takes in her craft and her clients hair looks amazing. I see a lot of hair pages on insta and they just don't come close to the vibe that Tiffany offers. Not everyone is going to have an eye for that level of detail, and it's one of those things where you don't know what you don't know, someone's hair can look amazing you think it's them not trying but it's because that person goes to a high quality stylist like Tiffany. Every time she does my hair I'm blown away by how well she's able to blend everything because I also don't have the easiest hair to work with, it's coarse and I use keratin and my hair is damaged but she knows exactly how to make it look immaculate. I just love her.

She also has this beautiful luxury extension line like no other, which makes your hair look so full and seamless. Whether you come in for a cut, color, or/and extensions you're in the right place! You're guaranteed to be in excellent care! I just had a cut and color for summer vibes, that I'm absolutely loving! Pic below.
