My second hair appointment with Travis where he added bangs to his original cut from a couple weeks back.

As a college student living in Irvine, I was a returning client of Travis's for years. Before finding him, I rarely got my hair done because I'd had so many bad experiences with stylists who couldn't execute the Asian-inspired looks I'd bring in from online. Travis changed all of that. Beyond his skill, I genuinely enjoy our appointments. Whether we're deep in conversation or just sitting comfortably in silence, it never feels awkward. His work never disappoints. His cuts and color work completely shifted how I see myself and gave me a real confidence boost. He fixed uneven coloring more than once and always landed on shades that matched my vibe and skin tone perfectly. I left every appointment feeling more like myself. He can come across as blunt or reserved at first, but I came to appreciate that about him--he's straightforward, honest, and clearly takes his craft seriously. I never once felt like he was being rude or difficult. From my very first appointment, I knew I'd found my permanent stylist. I even recommended him to all my friends and sorority sisters!

I have been seeing a lot of reviews commenting and calling Travis arrogant on yelp and I wanted to give my feedback on this matter because I don't feel like anyone deserves that. I have been a client of Travis for a long time now and even though he is introverted and soft spoken, his work always delivers as he portrays his passion by being informative and honest with all of his clients. He is a stylist not a specialist, so even if he works on asian hair he is not someone that can help w/ the damage of your hair, he told me the same that my hair was damaged from years of bleaching and that I needed to use more products to keep my hair healthy. I prefer my cosmetic people to be REAL and HONEST w me about the status of my hair, nails, skin, etc. so I can receive feedback and learn how to take better care of myself instead of a stylist just smiling and lying to my face just to get a tip. I also took it that he is very knowledgeable about hair and CARES about the maintenance in the long-term and not just outcome look at the end of the appointment that many stylist prioritize without considering the health of your hair - that is one of the main reasons he is booked and busy. If you can't receive constructive criticism then go to an extroverted stylist, but personally, I would drop a stylist that was overly nice but did not care about my hair in the slightest.

The whole experience was awesome ! Travis is really sophisticated and dedicated with his work. He takes time washing your hair and lets conditioner sit in unlike other places where they just rinse it out. He's been on my list for a while as Im more into haircuts/styles rather than coloring (he also provides these services). It's really easy to get along/chat w him so the session isnt uncomfortable/awkward :) Again, he takes time for the haircut, listens to what i want and visualizes + working his styles in to give a tailored, unique look from the inspo :) Definitely recommend !!!

Honestly the best!?! The first time I came he did a consultation, asked me what I liked, what my lifestyle was, my ig to catch my vibe and tailored my haircut to the shape of my head!! He will tell you if he thinks something will not work haha, which is appreciated!! And he also keeps hair health in mind which we love. I also really like how he styles straight hair in the end instead of hiding it behind curls so I can really see the layers he did. So quality. Everyone love his cuts. So good. He never misses!!! He keeps it real and fs has talent when it comes to women's hair, especially Asian women's hair

I've been going to Travis for a couple of years now! I only trust him with my hair because he knows my hair history and what I want. Safe to say, he's on the best hair stylist I know in Orange County and you can tell he's very passionate about his work/job. please be mindful with his booking because it'll be through his instagram bio/link @hairbytravisvu on ig!!

My hair was in an awkward, in-between length and I wanted a short haircut that was cute and didn't make me look like Lord Farquaad. I found Travis on socials/Yelp and his work really impressed me! Booking an appointment was very straightforward and he was incredibly thorough and patient during the consultation, listening to all my concerns. He also showed much care and consideration while cutting my hair. I left the salon feeling very happy and confident in my new hairstyle, I really love it and would def recommend Travis to anyone looking for someone that really cares about his clients and quality of his work :)

Completely TRANSFORMED and healthy! I'm in LOOOOVE!

My hair has been transformed into the unimaginable with Travis' magical hands! Seriously, I WISH I had discovered Travis sooner. Better late than never, as they say! I might be Asian, but my hair is *different.* It's coarse, wavy, frizzy, and sometimes completely unmanageable! I've had a rough time with previous stylists who not only ruined my hair with bad dye jobs but gave me haircuts that took several months to a year to grow out - ugh! Travis completely turned things around for me today with a root touch-up, cut, and color correction. From the start, Travis impressed me. He actually took the time to chat about my hair goals before I booked my appointment, which was a first. I mean, has any other hair stylist asked you for your entire hair history and future goals? Yeah, me neither! I had to plan ahead when I booked because he's popular--and now I totally get why! To top it off, he was so honest about what could or couldn't be achieved with my hair type and made suggestions based on my hair dreams. Look, Travis knows his stuff inside out. The hair wash was like a spa treatment; he used quality products that left my hair feeling fantastic and the scalp massage was next-level AH-MAZING!! Plus, he dropped some serious knowledge about hair care specifically for my mane that no one has ever suggested! A hair stylist who wants me to be able to manage my hair at home?? Is this even real life?! But what really stood out to me was how he tailored my cut to fit my everyday routine. He didn't assume I wore it the same way I came in with it. The difference? Again, he ASKED me what I normally do with my hair! He also knew just by pulling a few strands which technique was used on my hair from a previous stylist. It's like he has a sixth sense for hair! It's the small difference between a stylist who just wants to get you out of the chair versus someone who truly cares and takes their time. After the appointment he even invited me to send any maintenance or product questions I may have in the future now that he knows what I'm workin' with - I appreciate that! Parking's super easy at Pai e Salon, just off the 5 freeway in the Heritage Shopping Plaza in the center near Daiso and Mitsuwa. If you want a stylist who treats your hair right and gives you a custom style that's on point, Travis is your guy. Seriously, you won't be disappointed! Check out more of Travis's work on IG (@hairbytravisvu) to see for yourself, but trust me, it's even better in person. Thank you so much, Travis!!! I will be back next time! ‍

Travis is honestly the most knowledgeable stylist that I've ever met! He takes your face shape, hair texture, and body frame into account, which ensures the best possible haircut. I haven't come across a stylist who does hair like him and gives such good advice on how to take care of hair. It's been about 6 months since I've gone to him and I'm always happy with the cut that I receive whenever I go in! I trust Travis with my whole life. He truly makes sure that you walk out of the salon with beautiful hair that will get you so many compliments! Everyone should go to him for pretty haircuts. :)

MY NEW FOREVER STYLIST!!! I was in desperate need of a haircut and I still hadn't found a regular hairstylist that actually understood the complexities of my hair (super thick, really heavy, straight coarse asian hair). I found and booked Travis on Instagram (@hairbytravisvu) after seeing his page. The consultation was one of the many highlights of the appointment! With other stylists, it'd be this awkward, somewhat rushed exchange, where I felt like I couldn't say everything I wanted to. But with Travis, he really took the time to assess my hair, listen to my concerns and work with me to understand what I was looking for! He was detailed in going over my current routine, my normal styles, inspiration photos, and even my general fashion aesthetic to get an idea of what would complement it. He combined his extensive knowledge of different hair properties and technique with my own vision and preferences to thoroughly plan out the cut. I really appreciated was how well he communicated the plan and explained how each element would impact the overall look. Throughout the appointment, he took the time to ask about my hair goals. He provided lots of recommendations on how I can maintain the style I wanted, without coming off as judgmental or pushy (which is SO nice bc I know nothing about hair). It really showed the amount of care he has for my hair long-term, not just throughout the appointment! Travis is an absolute master when it comes to hair. He not only has the knowledge, but the skills and techniques to back it up. The whole appointment felt so relaxing and fun, and I came out feeling like a whole new person! I was completely amazed with the final result and my overall experience has me even more excited for appointments with him in the future. If you're in the need for a new stylist and looking for someone you can put your full trust into to deliver breathtaking results, BOOK TRAVIS VU! For reference, I asked for a cut that added more body and structure to my hair. I mentioned how my thick hair leaves any styling to sit heavy near the ends, and how layered cuts I got in the past left me with weird-looking spiky ends. We ended up on a hybrid mix of a butterfly cut with some hush cut elements. He also helped me feel confident enough to pull the trigger and get wispy bangs (which I now LOVE)! TYSM TRAVIS

Hair by Travis Vu... what can I say! I have gone to Travis three times now and I love my hair more and more every time. He always knows exactly what to do! The first time I went was for a hush cut and toner. I never knew that my hair could have the amount of layers it does now, while still maintaining thickness and volume! The layers shape my face perfectly and I have received so many compliments. The toner also held really nicely for over 6 months and blended really well with my natural hair. Since then I have gone back for a hair refresh and another toner, and it is safe to say that I will keep going back. I only trust him now with my hair! :) Travis is super skilled and talented! I would definitely recommend him if you are ever in the area!

June 2024 -- Really negative experience with Travis! I've been nervous to speak up, and it took me a long time to process and accept what happened. Still, I wonder if it was totally malicious as I'd prefer to see the best in people but friends and family have assured me that I should share what happened. Unfortunately, I experienced harassment at my hair cut. Starting from the beginning -- Late one night I saw the viral video and booked through the link with minimal research. I didn't think much of it after that. I arrived at the salon, and the stylist greeted me like an old friend. During the consultation, he referenced "the last time we talked" and I thought it was a silly little comedic bit. No, it wasn't comedic at all. He was dead serious. I was confused so he took my phone out of my hands and searched up his Instagram to show me our DMs from two years ago. Then it clicks...this man tried to match with me on a dating app! And when I rejected him, he found my Instagram to offer me a free haircut...Through his tone, it seemed like he was still mad that I *mildly* rejected him two years ago. Violation #1 was the intimidation factor, or lack of professionalism? IDK you choose. Then, I'm sitting for the cut with my hands on the armrests under the cape. The stylist leans over and HIS GENITALS rest on my hand. Not a graze, not a sweep. His junk did a full 4..3..2..1 on my hand. At this point, I was confused. Was that intentional? Was it an accident? Either way, no apology or acknowledgment. I got nervous, and didn't know what to do or think. Violation #2, physical harassment. Even after inappropriately touching me, the stylist let me know he was single and straight several times. He complimented my looks and asked me to take off a layer of clothing for the "after" photo. Violation #3. Finally, I hate the haircut. I asked for a trim with a wide U-shape. He gave me a butterfly cut with a crazy side bang. What the heck. I saw four inches of my hair flying in the wind and he goes "I think you want more layers." He said that at least twice as he kept chopping away. Violation #4. At the time, he was the youngest stylist and only English-speaker. He uses a really gentle voice to say sassy snarky remarks for intimidation. He tried speaking about me, to me, as if he knew me. He literally broke character to express his shock that I was resistant to his verbal/social manipulation. Super weird. Other women that went to Travis have said he's rude or went freestyle on their haircuts, disregarding their requests. He rents out a space from a salon, not employed by the salon. They have reached out to me to clarify this detail. read more

Travis is by far the best hair stylist I've had so far! I'm usually pretty skeptical about leaving my hair in the hands of a new stylist every time but I came across his page through a friend and loved his work. I immediately set up an appointment and I did not leave disappointed at all. His consultation is super detailed and he's extremely knowledgeable about what style works best for your face shape and provides his own input on top of what you try to go for. He's super nice and I was comfortable the entire time throughout our conversations. I can't wait to make my next appointment with him! read more

such a wonderful experience, immediately from the start to the end of the appointment, he was attentive and kind. We bounced off of each other in terms of what to go for hairstyle wise and i did not feel an ounce of worry while sitting in his chair. He really consults you and gives tips on how to style the hair afterwards. As seen in the photos, you can just tell the way the haircut frames my face and the confidence it lets me exude. can't say enough good stuff about the valuable experience ! highly recommend! read more

I loved my haircut from Travis!! I was very indecisive on what type of cut I wanted, but he consulted me on what would look best on me based on my head shape and daily lifestyle. I was very happy with my results as I saw the time and effort he took into cutting my hair (very intricate and detailed!!!) Travis also has a funny personality which made me feel less nervous cutting my hair (after a little over a year). He expressed to me that most of his clients come to him for a haircut which reassured me on the quality of work he provided. Overall, I would definitely come back here again and excited I found my new hairdresser!! read more

Randomly stomped on one of Travis's client Tiktok about a getting a haircut in Irvine which is where I live. So I did some digging and look through his works on IG, decided to try getting a "Bang Trim" service for a start. It was the most delicates & detailed Bang Trim I have ever gotten in my life like seriously. Most hairstylist would spend like 30 seconds or less, did a lil chop there and there when I asked for a curtain bang. But Travis takes his time consulting and fixing my curtain bangs into a perfection within 20-30 mins ish which I love how detailed he is! After that first appointment, I rebooked him for a haircut because he noticed that my hair is also a little choppy and I've been wanting to fixed it too. Went to the Haircut appointment yesterday and I love it so much now that it's perfectly layered Service is always great as well, if you're looking for someone who extremely educated and knows exactly what he's doing ( and will listened to you terrible dating life ) I feel super comfortable sitting his chair and always left feeling prettier and happier every time read more

I have been getting my hair cut and dyed by Travis by I'm not even sure how many years now. Maybe 3-4? It just goes to show how much faith I put into this growing hairstylist. I am a very relaxed person when it comes to my hair, and most of the time, I let Travis use his best judgement when he cuts it. He has an extensive knowledge on hair and all its properties and cuts and whatnot, I have even had cuts where I let him do whatever he thinks best. When I do need a specific cut or dye from him, he informs me on what the results would look like and lives up to his word. Each consultation is thorough and I've enjoyed driving up an hour plus just to get my hair done and reconnect with him. Again, I would recommend this hairstylist for his knowledge and consideration for his clients. Here's pics from all the years I've got my hair done from him read more

I came across Travis's Instagram page a while back and followed his work for a while before finally booking with him, but I honestly wish I had come to him way sooner! Booking an appointment online was simple, and his location is super clean, modern, and spacious. He works quickly, efficiently, and with purpose. Travis is truly a master at his craft! He's very honest about what he thinks you need/don't need, what will look good on you, what's realistic, and so on, which I personally really appreciate in a hairstylist! Since I started coming to Travis, I've gotten 2 keratin treatments, a straight perm, multiple Milbon repair treatments, haircuts, bangs, trims, and everything in between (except color). He has completely transformed and nourished my hair in the last year or so that I've known him, so if you are looking for quality service/expertise and a hairstylist who actually cares about you and your hair, do not hesitate to book with Travis! read more

Usually by this time with other hair stylists I would notice jaggedness and uneven ends, but not with Travis. The attention to detail he made with every snip has become more apparent with time and my hair has continued to grow evenly and behaves exactly as he said it would.

Been to Travis twice now for haircuts and blue-black dye/toner to blend out my bleached ends I'm growing out and I'm very satisfied so far! He's great at cutting which is hard to find in oc or in general, and does his best to consider your face shape and goals when deciding how to cut. I usually ask for layers throughout my lengths, face framing pieces, and some lightening up of my hair for volume at the top. He has nailed it each time. Also have a great time talking to him about products and recs! Price point is fair for the satisfaction he provides and because the cuts and color grow out nicely. Won't speak on bleaching since I haven't done bleach with him but I would definitely check him out if you're looking for a cut specialist and darker hair coloring! He also has some unique offerings like keratin treatment and a scalp detox I haven't tried read more

Travis is the BEST. I first found him back in Dec 23 because I was looking for someone who knew how to cut asian hair properly. He is incredibly detailed and truly wants the best for your hair. You'll come in and let him know what you're looking to do then he'll give his thoughts on what will work for you. He will give you the best advice for hair care and is honest about maintenance, how to take care of your hair, etc. He's the first person to ever ask me what products I use (shampoo, conditioner, hair styling products) and give me insight. I didnt know one of my shampoos was actually heavy and weighed my hair down until he told me. When I was mentioning a new hairstyle I wanted to try - he was honest about what is needed to have it look the way he styles it, the complexity of it, and gave insight as to how it'd look due to my hair being thin as is. I've been going to him ever since I found him and can never go anywhere else. He's also super easygoing to talk to and get along with - you'll feel comfortable during your appointment! He executes korean hairstyles so well if you're looking to do the hush cut! read more

I found Travis on Instagram after weeks of searching for someone who could fix my cut hair (after a bad experience with someone I had been going to for a while). I was ecstatic that he was local and I booked an appointment for his earliest available which was easy to do on the booking app. I arrived and shared my ideal hair style, my maintenance upkeep and my daily hair routine. He convinced me that my ideal hairstyle wouldn't be recommended but that he understood the assignment. He gets to understand your personality, what you do for work, and he makes the haircut fit for you, your face shape, and your lifestyle. I came in wanting a hush cut, and was transformed into something Travis customized for me based on my vibes. Totally recommend - especially if you're open to trusting someone to really know their craft, their art and talent and how to harness it to bring out the amazing in you. read more

I can come out of the shower and just air dry it & it looks styled. Not only was his layers amazing but the amount of time and dedication he puts into his work Is unbeatable. I've never been anywhere that gives me a hair consultation as well. read more

Travis is an exceptional and the most knowledgeable hair stylist I know!! Everytime I come to do my hair with him, he's always so informative and cuts my hair in a way that suits my face shape! He's super friendly, accommodating, and encouraging during his services as well!! I didn't think I could rock a bob cut until I met him so I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to cut/style/dye their hair :) read more

From the Business

Specialties

I specialize in Women's Haircut. What makes my work unique is my specialized expertise in both Asian hair textures and Asian haircut styles, while also being highly skilled in Western haircut techniques and trends. I understand that Asian hair has its own characteristics—density, thickness, growth patterns—and I tailor every cut to work with the hair’s natural behavior, not against it. I’m passionate about what I do because I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all haircuts. I take into account your individual style, lifestyle, face shape, silhouette, and overall individual style. My goal is to create a look that enhances your features and feels authentic to who you are.

Meet the Business Owner: Travis V.

I was inspired to start my business because I saw a real gap between Asian and Western haircut styles—and the experience clients were having in the salon. Many clients would go to a stylist with a clear vision, but because of language barriers or a lack of understanding of different hair textures and cultural styles, the final result didn’t turn out the way they expected.

I booked with Stephanie Gonzales for a tone/gloss appointment, and unfortunately, my experience was…read moreextremely disappointing due to poor customer service. My appointment was canceled the day of, yet I received no text, email, or notification informing me. In fact, at 7:52 a.m. the morning of my appointment (scheduled for 11:15 a.m.), her team texted me confirming details and letting me know what to expect during the service. So, when I arrived and was told my appointment had been canceled due to "miscommunication," I was very confused. What made this even more frustrating was that nowhere on the booking site or Instagram page does it clearly state that new clients are required to complete an email consultation prior to their appointment. After explaining the cancellation, Stephanie quickly asked me to put my hair down so she could assess it and ultimately said she could still fit me in for the service I booked but that I would have to wait because she was busy. During the time slot I had originally booked, she was servicing another client. The most disappointing part of the experience was how cold and unwelcoming the interaction felt. My hair wash was extremely rough, rough enough that the shampoo bottle was even dropped during the service and the entire appointment felt rushed. There was no effort made to make me feel valued as a client. As someone who also works in the beauty industry, I truly believe client experience and genuinely making an effort to talk to your client is important and part of the job. At one point, while going back and forth between me and the other client, she told the other client, "10 more minutes and I'll be all yours," which only reinforced how much of an inconvenience I felt like during my appointment. To be clear, this review is solely based on the customer service experience, not the quality of her work. I'm not seeking a refund. I'm only sharing my experience so others can make an informed decision and in hopes that this feedback is taken seriously by the salon as it seems I'm not the only one with this experience.

Visited this Salon for the first time. I had Allison work on my hair & the results were amazing…read more Allison was so skillful at toning down my blonde with low lights but maintaining my ash blonde highlights. I also asked for trim of choppy layers which she nailed so well. She is also so knowledgeable of what she had to do to get the tone I was seeking advice on. I am hispanic, I have a lot of hair, its dark, but it's fine, so I know it was a challenge for Allison & she pays attention to every detail & takes pride in her work.

The customer service is great and the vibe is fabulous…read more I've been coming here since this location had opened, and I highly recommend coming here to book all of your hair-care needs. I personally get my hair colored and cut by Chelsea who is an owner, however, there are other fabulous cosmetologists who could meet and exceed your expectations. I highly recommend!

Updated review! I've been going to Andy Lam for over six years now~ The amount of care, creativity…read moreand knowledge he has is beyond comprehension. Only quality work from him. He was able to bleach my hair from a super dark brown to platinum blonde, all while preserving the integrity of my hair. I wasn't quite sure what color I wanted but trusting in his suggestion, I went with ombre golden sky pink and it came out absolutely gorgeous. If you have a specific color in mind, he can work with you to achieve it but if you're also open to suggestions, he can create many different color combinations. I get so many compliments regarding the color of my hair, as well as how healthy it is. I appreciate that Andy has his own suite- the privacy and ambience of the salon is very chic. You can tell how someone would treat your hair based on their workspace and Andy is all about quality! I very much enjoy going to him for my hair journey, not only because he does a superb job, but also because he is very down-to-earth and cares about your hair's health.

So happy with my haircut!…read more Andy is super nice and knowledgeable, he takes his time with you and asks questions to get a better understanding of the hair cut and color I want. He was very thorough in reviewing my hair color history and expectations of what I can expect with the hair color I want. He taught me a lot during our session! I am in love with my butterfly haircut and curtain bangs! I also booked another appointment with him , super excited to get balayage done. I will update my review later! If you are looking for a new hair stylist, definitely try out Andy, he is friendly, professional and honest with expectations of your hair (which i have never gotten from other hairstylists).

While I understand that personal circumstances arise, professional communication and courtesy are important. Instead of being transparent and respectful, I was met with a rude attitude and no explanation as to why services would no longer be provided. Clients deserve clear communication, honesty, and professionalism, and unfortunately that was not my experience. I would not recommend this business based on the poor communication, lack of reliability, and unprofessional treatment I received.

i got my hair cut as a first time client with travis and it's the best haircut i've ever had! he is refreshingly honest, funny, and so meticulous with his skills!! i was a bit confused with the booking process so i booked through the website from his instagram (@/hairbytravisvu), his availability fills up fast. about a day later he texted me to do a consultation via text through pictures and talking about hair goals. i learned that as a first time client it's better to DM him (swipe through his pinned post post on instagram) but he will contact you if not! the website shows prices + availability so it's nice to know for next time. after i sent pictures of my wavy hair, travis was honest and told me that he doesn't have much experience working with my hair texture so i might be better with another stylist. his portfolio impressed me so much that i told him that i'm open to letting him practice/experiment on my hair, and he set up and appointment for me! email directions are sent after confirming appointment. travis has his own suite inside of a building. he made me feel really comfortable quickly because he treated and talked to me like a friend! he fluffed my hair around, took note of my head shape, and explained his thought process the whole way through with what he noticed. he is so observant and found the "awkward" strand of hair that bothered me from my previous haircut! we had so many laughs the whole time which warmed me up to him further :D i tend to feel nervous when i first meet people but travis really made me feel at ease and that increased my trust in him even more. after washing my hair, he worked with precision to cut my hair and adjusted to flatter me. i felt extra gorgeous after styling and i loved chatting with travis, he is passionate about his work and proud of his offered services! after the service he thanked me for letting him experiment on my hair texture. he shows so much care and dedication to his clients and i am super happy with paying $100 every few months to see him work his magic! read more

I've had the pleasure of getting my hair cut by Travis several times now, and each experience has been exceptional. As an Asian woman with difficult hair to style, I've struggled to find a hairstylist who can truly understand and execute what I'm looking for. However, Travis has consistently delivered amazing results. Travis listens attentively to my preferences but also offers valuable insights on what would suit me best. The precision and care with which he cuts is amazing. The layers and texture he added have brought out the best in my hair, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Travis to anyone looking for a stylist who not only knows their craft but excels in it. I'll definitely be returning for my next haircut read more
