If you're looking for a rude, condescending, "thinks‑she's‑above‑everyone" stylist who has zero regard for your time and lacks basic human decency, then Allie Thompson is your girl. I was genuinely appalled by how she handled my son's appointment. She was snobby, unprofessional and made it painfully clear she couldn't care less about how she treated us. The attitude, the disregard, the complete lack of compassion was on full display. She is the type of hair stylist that will make you never want to come back to a salon. How you treat people is a direct reflection of you. And unfortunately, the behavior doesn't stop with her. The owner, Ty, was just as arrogant. His reputation in the community is already well‑known, and seeing it firsthand only confirmed everything I had heard. When the leadership carries that kind of energy, it's no surprise the staff reflects it. But this review is mainly for how Allie treated my son and had him in tears. What makes this even more disappointing is knowing how real stylists treat their clients. Good stylists respect your time. They communicate. They show kindness. They build trust. They value the relationship, not just the appointment slot. They treat clients like human beings and not inconveniences. If that's the kind of stylist you want, someone who is reliable, warm, respectful, and genuinely appreciative of your business, I suggest you look elsewhere. There are plenty of stylists who treat people with basic human decency. Allie is not one of them. read more

This was my first time here. I came to see Rosy and she was so nice and kind. She made me feel so at home. I am so happy that I found her. It's like she knew exactly what I wanted without me even having to tell her. It is so hard to find a good salon and i am so happy i found Rosy. I will definitely be coming back here :) read more

The vibe is fun energetic people actually enjoying what they do. I love this place. Ty is amazing and does a great job

I had the pleasure of seeing Allie at Ty Alexander Salon for a balayage, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel completely comfortable and listened carefully to what I wanted. She took her time to make sure every section of my hair was perfectly painted, and you could really tell she's a true professional. The color is absolutely beautiful, natural looking, seamless, and just the right amount of dimension. On top of that, she is so friendly and kind, which made the whole experience even better. I've been to a lot of salons, but her attention to detail and skill really set her apart. I'll definitely be back for more from her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for natural looking, intricate hair color. Thank you, Allie!! read more

I LOVE ASHLEY!!! She is the best and I always feel so happy when leaving! She is quick but efficient and never cuts corners!

After a bad experience with another stylist at a different salon, Dominique came highly recommended by an acquaintance. I found her in Instagram, checked out her work and reached out to to her to schedule an appointment for a color correction. I arrived to Ty Alexander on my scheduled date, and met with Dominique. We talked about what I was hoping to achieve without damaging my hair further. I left the salon happy with the results. I reached out to Dominique a couple of weeks later to schedule another service, and an appointment was booked. On the day of my appointment, my babysitter unexpectedly called out sick. This put me in a very rough position because I had no one to take care of my 7 month old. I quickly got into contact with Dominique explaining the situation and asking about rescheduling. Her attitude got nasty and said I would have to pay a $100 cancelling fee to reschedule. When I asked her why the steep cancelling charge, she told me it was because it was over $300 service I was cancelling and that I had already rescheduled once (which is true. But with plenty of notice). I can completely understand the situation with her losing out financially, and it's sucks that I was also losing out on my own service. But when I asked her what I should do, she obviously had no answers. I was not willing to take my son to a 2+ hour hair appointment. If she had had a better attitude and was more understanding of the situation, and communicated reasonably, I would have moved on and just paid the cancellation fee. But her nasty attitude was really upsetting. I decided burning the bridge was a better outcome. I guess I shouldn't expect better from a young girl in her early 20's who isn't a mother and only seems to care about her own financial gains/losses. read more

Hannah This is my second session with Hannah, and I decided to go lighter. As an Asian with naturally dark hair, I was NOT going to risk going to anyone else but Hannah. My first session hair grew out so beautifully, and it still looked good when I came in today. I just knew I wouldn't be in town until much later, so I came back way sooner than expected. I initially wanted a fashion color which would have costed more, but I am leaving town and won't be able to upkeep it. She genuinely recommend not to do it because she didn't want me to be stuck without a salon in the chance it fades to something I didn't like. But she also didn't stop me since she knew I wanted it for awhile :') I will come back for fashion colors whenever I have the opportunity to see her more frequently. We ended up going with a beigey blonde I showed her. The color she toned me to was , but I tanned a lot since we first met so the color washed me out. She didn't even hesitate to take me back to the wash bowl to warm me up. The color I ended up with was way more flattering with my complexion, and it made me so excited to be blonde again. I love my hair and can't wait to see Hannah again! read more

This review is for Brian Aguilar. HE IS THE BEST!! I went to another hairstylist at a different salon who completely destroyed my hair. She took off 6 inches when I had asked for only 3, gave me blunt front bangs when I had asked for side fringe, AND my cut was completely uneven. I was crying when I left the salon. Brian was recommended by a friend and he seriously saved my hair. He was so kind and took his time to discuss exactly what I wanted and before each step he asked how I felt about his idea. I think he could tell I was traumatized. He really minimized how much he needed to take off and gave me THE BEST hair cut and style. He shaped my hair in a way that gave it incredible body, volume, and dimension. I went from completely hating my hair to totally loving it. I will literally never go to anyone else again! read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Kim for years! Love her - she does any amazing job every time. She books up quickly so you have to schedule in advance. Salon is also clean and everyone there is really nice. Highly recommend for both men and women! read more

Rosy is the BEST of the BEST! I was very skeptical when it came to my hair, due to previous experiences. However, it has now been a couple of sessions since I first booked with Rosy and never again will I go else where. Rosy is very flexible with scheduling and extremely sweet to say the least. I always leave the salon with the biggest smile and multiple compliments. She continues to go above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Rosy! read more

Every hair stylist hates to hear this but I haven't gotten a haircut for over a year and it was long overdue. My friend recommended Brian Aguilar since he's been cutting her hair for many years. I stalked his Instagram page and is drawn to all of the effortless hair pics that he posts. He strictly specializes in haircuts so I was curious to see what he could do. My birthday was coming up so I wanted to take the opportunity to go to Brian. I booked my appointment through vagaro and it was a simple and easy process. When I arrived, I noticed the salon was bright and spacious. I was greeted by the receptionist and she checked me in. I noticed they had a coffee machine with mugs - not disposable cups - and I respected that. Brian grabbed me and he had me sit at his chair and explain what I wanted. I told him "light ends, and textured long layers. Something that looked good without trying." He washed my hair and then blow dried it and started to work his magic. I was in and out in less than an hour and I loved the end result! It wasn't a dramatic change but you can tell my hair looked different. Overall, I would totally go back to Brian. He was also easy to talk to. It was on the pricer side for a haircut but it's worth every penny. read more

Rosy is honestly amazing she has a great personality and is super personable, she's super easy to work with and really just wants to make you look and feel amazing. I went in recently to get extensions put in for my wedding and they turned out great, she spent a lot of time carefully installing them and making sure I was comfortable and knew how to care for them. It's hard for me to find a hair stylist that I truly enjoy going to but I really do love going to her and will be back to see her soon. read more

Everyone at Ty Alexander are very friendly and customer oriented. Rosy has been styling my hair for 4 years now. Always perfection! She's the best! read more

I booked online and chose a stylist through their website. When I got there I said I wanted highlights and a cut. She put foils in my hair and cut and styled it and it looked fine. When I got home I looked closer at my hair and noticed that if I moved my hair from how she styled it then I could see a that the highlights were about two inches away from my scalp so when I put my hair up it is very obvious that my highlights look like they had grown out for a few months. Two hours after I left the salon I got a call and they told me that they had undercharged me and that I owed them another $50. I went in to the salon to pay and show the stylist that I could see a line in my hair from where she stopped my highlight and I didn't like it. She got defensive and told me that this was normal and that I needed to wash my hair but I have gotten highlights before and they were never so far away from my scalp like this. After washing my hair and there was no change in how it looked I felt very disappointed as this experience cost me $300 and I did not think my hair was done correctly. I did not feel comfortable coming back and asking her to fix it again as she didn't handle the second time I came in to show her the mistakes very well. read more

Ty Alexander Salon 2 - Bad highlights - Hair Salons Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Love this place! I have a semi-short pixie and it is difficult to find someone who understands the color piece and the cut. I found both here! My color was done by Alesia and it came out beautiful. She talked at length with me about my color and what I wanted for a cut. It was exactly what I wanted. Most colorists try to put a base color on and do the highlights at the same time to save them some time then my hair comes out this awful orange. I usually have to tell the colorist to apply the color separately. I didn't have to say a word! Alesha knew. Amazing! The receptionist hooked me up with Brian. This man has a real talent and you can tell he really enjoys his job. He was great with my cut and added texture in a soft way that allowed me to keep my length but still took out the bulk. Ask for Brian if your looking for a super short cut. He's a master! (I'm not photogenic so the picture doesn't do his work justice). Trust me, he's really talented. read more

Ty Alexander Salon 2 - Hair Salons Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Brian Aguilar is my go to guy! I have been faithful to him for 5 years now and will not let anyone else cut my hair. He is extremely talented with his cuts and knows how to put the shape and dimension into your hair to make you look A1. I usually give him a general idea of what I want and he always delivers. In terms of the salon, it's very clean and open. They have a lot of products to choose from. FYI--When entering the address in Google Maps, it might lead you to the movie theater like it led me.... the salon is in a plaza near Muldoon's. read more

This review is strictly for Darren Reyes. I followed Darren from his previous salon (which I'm going to be nice and not name because I called them to make an appointment with him and they claimed to not know which salon he'd gone to -- HA!). Apparently he just made the change so I got to experience his new digs (sparkling clean; a little hard to find so get there early -- just know you can't see it from the street and it's on the second floor but once you find it you'll never get lost again). I've been going to Darren for a year now and he's always on point. He's more than a hair artist -- he's a hair therapist! I showed him half a dozen photos of styles I liked from Instagram and he took the time to discuss with me which would work with my hair texture, etc. Then we talked about the look/feel I wanted for this cut that will differ from the last one. (You know what's also great about Darren? He knows how to tell you what won't look good on you without making you feel bad. Oh yeah, and when he washes your hair, he also gives you a head massage that will seriously put you out if you don't focus on staying awake.) My cut came out BEAUTIFULLY! I got exactly what I asked for. Friendly reminder: it's important to remember that it's up to you to style it correctly post-cut. Darren has spent time in the past showing me how to use a flat iron and curling iron because I asked, so make sure to educate yourself and get the tips you need to keep that cut looking amazing. read more

I've been going to Brent Raisor for a few years now and he is amazing. He has an excellent eye for what will look good and knows exactly what to do to give my hair a refresh and leave me feeling like a hair model. Brent even did my hair for my recent wedding, as well as my mom and both maids of honor, and everyone looked fantastic. I got so many compliments on how he styled it. Brent is excellent with both cut and color, as well as styling. He's the best!!!! read more

I had the worse experience in this salon. Not only the guy , Ty, who cut my hair had an attitude and was unfriendly, he cant cut the hair. The hair cut is chopped, uneven and i guarantee if i went to Super cuts, I would walk out with better hair cut. And everyone knows that once you have a terrible hair cut there is nothing one can do but for it to grow out which takes months. So, thank you Ty, for ruining my hair and making me want to scream every time I look in the mirror. I thought that for $150 I will get to have my hair cut by skilled professional but boy, was I wrong. So ladies and gentlemen who are considering to have hair cut by this prima Dona unskilled individual, I advice you not to. You will only have a dreadful experience, will be out of $150 and wear hat for months to cover your butchered hair cut! read more

I sent my 15 YO doughier to Ty Alexander salon to get a haircut. She was excited to get curtain bangs and a trim to get rid of the split ends. When I picked her up I was surprised to see she had really short bangs above her eyebrows and all the split ends were remaining. So I took her back. Rosi the stylist not only did not acknowledge her mistakes , she rudely said we should come back the next day to talk to the manager. I was beyond disappointed. And by the way she had given herself a 20% tip for a total of $120!!!! My doughier is in tears and I can't believe this level of unprofessional behavior from a supposedly upscale hair salon in Newport Beach. read more

I am hoping this posts so no one has to go through the experience I had with this salon. I started going to the original Ty salon approximately 10 years ago when my stylist moved there from Salon Gregorie's which I liked. I actually followed that stylist there from Salon Gregorie's when she relocated so I assumed it was high end in terms of quality as she has very high standards. Suddenly, my hair stylist stopped working to take care of her 4 kids so I needed to find someone new. I did my best to research my options as I had no experience there with any other stylists there and had been satisfied. I decided on Leann and scheduled a haircut to get a feel for her skill level. She did an average job, as my hair is long and straight and I maintain a basic style. She was supposedly a color specialist and since I was also in need of highlights I scheduled an appointment with her when I needed another haircut. I went and told her exactly what I had been doing for over 20 years in terms of color as and just wanted to snap it back to that. However, what I go was beyond awful. It was hideous. I requested fine golden highlights as I had been getting but ended up chunks of copper penny colored streaks in random places and other parts completely not highlighted at all. Furthermore, I sustained a chemical burn spot on the top of my head and my hair was overall completely chemically damaged. When I realized how bad it actually turned out, I asked her to fix it and she refused. She did refund my money but when I asked the salon if someone else would do it, they ended up telling me that no one there was willing to try it. The damage done was worth far more the the refund of the money I paid and I should have sued both her and the salon for damages. I wish I had. Ultimately, I spent numerous months trying to get over my fear of going to anyone else as it was unbearably bad to the point I could not stand seeing myself. I finally just recently dared to try a totally different salon and the stylist I got there did a phenomenal job of getting me on the road back to normal. I say road as the damage was that severe and will require time to repair. I advise everyone to avoid that salon unless you know the stylist's skill level as if you get a terrible job they will not back it up . That salon is anything but Newport Beach quality service. A salon is only as good as its staff and its management. Both are completely lacking there now. I have been getting highlights for 30 years now and have had to change stylists and salons several times because of relocating only. Never in my life have I received such poor service in every regard. 0 stars by the way. Actually negative to infinity if I could. read more

Just had my hair colored by Brent Raisor. I love it. He always does an amazing job. Never uses too much product and only cuts my hair when needed. He has lots of great advice for keeping my hair healthy and the lowdown on the latest products. The salon is nice. Comfy chairs. Wi-fi available. Friendly staff. Fast service. Fair price. They text you your appointment with a link to add to your calendar. read more

This review is for Hannah, I have been going to her for about two years now. I have very long and thick hair and Hannah always makes the best decisions to keep my hair healthy. We collaborate and come up with beautiful creations. She is always on time, professional and excellent at her job. She is worth making the drive from Anaheim. Her customer experience is above and beyond. The Salon itself is gorgeous and everyone who works here is so friendly and welcoming. read more

Saw Tia today and she was awesome & refreshing . Thank you so much Tia for a GREAT trim & color . Your beautiful. read more

Brent slays it every time ***** wont trust my hair to anyone else! Thank you Brent :-)

Alright where do I even begin....this was my first time at Ty Alexander and 1) does everyone that work here have to be so ridiculously good looking and beautiful? Customer service is phenomenal! I came here because my hair guru/god/angel....Brent Raisor moved to this salon and wherever he goes I go with him (even if I move to another state....I won't but if I did...I would fly to see him). I absolutely love him, he's very honest, will walk you through it all so you understand the process (as for me I've gotten trust issues not from relationships lol but from past hair stylists ‍ don't even get me started....I once walked out of a salon with bright neon yellow hair and that wasn't by choice), he doesn't want his clients hair being damaged beyond repair, and he really takes his time to make sure you come out looking "expensive"....as in looking like a million dollars. He knows how much I love being blonde, I tried growing my hair out but my 30th birthday is in a week and it didn't grow out fast enough lol. I just want to say to anyone wanting to go blonde....it IS a process, do not think that you can get that beautiful shiny icey blonde the first time without your hair falling out. It took me 5-6 sessions to gradually lighten it and I've gotten it to the point where it was ice white. Listen to your stylist! There are certain things you just don't do cheap....hair is one of them. Its an investment in yourself so if you're not willing to spend a few hundred dollars, then don't go blonde. I would highly suggest this salon and especially Brent! I love the customer service I received, there's ample parking, it's so bright, and they always keep it clean! Make sure you book an appointment, you won't be disappointed! read more

I love this spot close to Fashion Island. Ashley Stewart has been doing my hair for 4+ years. She is consistently amazing, quick and reliable. I show her a pic and she makes it happen. Very professional. Also being a consistent blonde highlights/balayage client, she has never fried my hair. It's really healthy and the color lasts and grows out so nice. I always get compliments on my color and cut. Go see her! You won't leave stressed or disappointed!! read more

I've been going to Nickole for years now and I'm always extremely pleased with my hair. I have followed her to every new salon and this one is by far my favorite. It's clean, beautiful, and has lots of good energy. The front desk folks are always super friendly, too, which is weirdly hard to come by sometimes. Nickole alternates between balayage and foils on me, but no matter what, I always leave happy and I swear -- the color lasts forever. She listens to my requests and will always give me her honest opinion. She also makes me laugh the entire appointment, so I look forward to seeing her every time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing colorist. read more

So much talent in each and every stylist, my go to girl is Hannah Whitney. She does my color perfectly every time and when I'm due for my Brazilian Blowout she has the process down. She genuinely cares about each of her Clients. She's dependable, affordable and absolutely beautiful. The Salon is bright, clean and they make you feel welcome. read more

Called the Salon to make appointment with stylist. My stylist is no longer at this salon I gathered from the receptionist. She just said there is no stylist by that name. Of course I know he was there until recently. I went to salon website and my stylist I called about is listed on website with picture and name. I called back and stated I see the stylist I am inquiring about on your website. Can you please check with someone else there. She is gone for 20 seconds and reply's, I ask the owner, he isn't here and owner does not know where he is. This is extremely unprofessional and all I need to know that I would never be a customer of this place. Lacks character, grace and professionalism. The response also suggest the owner lacks confidence in his abilities as a hair stylist as well. read more

OMG- I am so late writing this review but wanted to make sure people could see the magician Brent Raisor is! What a bloody nightmare my hair looked like walking in but walking out I looked like a totally different person. I went straight to a conference after my appointment and people who have known me for years said they have never seen me look so good ...and it's not because I lost weight because I sure haven't ...plus they kept touching my hair:) So excited to go back but thought I would let you see for yourself the before and after. read more

Hannah Whitney is by far the most skilled, meticulous and talented colorist at this salon. My Mom and I have been going to her for years for our blonde hair and we are constantly stopped and asked who does it. Not only is she talented with color but she is the fastest blow dryer stylists in OC! She moves carefully at lightening speed and gets you in and out fast. No one like wasting away in the salon chair and she doesn't let that happen. She also is dependable and always on time. She is beautiful, is always in a pleasant mood and has one hell of a smile. The salon is great but Hannah makes it! @hannahdoeshair_ is her Instagram account if you would like to personally book with her! read more
