Hair Stylists in Costa Mesa

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From Lo & Casey (for our special girlie - Kai):

We are so grateful for Emerald at Empressed Salon! She truly understands curls - and not just how to style them, but how to celebrate them. She made Kai feel so comfortable and confident, working with the beautiful texture she already has instead of trying to make it something different. That kind of encouragement is absolutely life-changing for a young girl! She also shared SO many helpful pointers, tips, and suggestions that were both practical and empowering for Kai! You can tell she’s incredibly experienced and knowledgeable about all types of hair, but her passion for curls really shines through. Not to mention how great she is with the kiddos!
We adore you, Emerald!! Huge thank you’s for your kindness, patience, and expertise. Highly, highly recommend her, especially for curls! ?“

“Best haircut I’ve had in a long time. Moh is extremely detailed and really listens—asked a few questions, made smart suggestions, and executed perfectly. My fade came out super clean and balanced, and he didn’t rush a single step. Great vibe in the shop, professional, and the cut still looks sharp days later.“

“Tiffany Scott Salon has good vibes. Love my hair stylist Kenna! She really listens, makes me laugh & I walk out feeling fabulous! Thank you Kenna?“

“My hair is difficult to cut right and im rarely satisfied after a haircut, but Ricardo did an amazing job! Im super happy with the result!
Ricardo is also very kind, gave me a pomade as a gift!“

“I absolutely love this place! Deborah is amazing she creates such a warm, welcoming vibe, and everyone is so friendly. I always feel comfortable talking about anything going on in my life, and Deborah gives the best advice! My hair is naturally curly, and even though they didn't have curly extensions in stock at first, they went above and beyond to custom order it. In the meantime, they put in straight extensions that matched my hair perfectly. I left feeling like a brand new person my confidence was through the roof with fuller, beautiful hair. I usually get my hair colored dark brown and have my extensions retied during my visits, and I always leave looking stunning. I have also tried the Brazilian blowout here and absolutely loved the results. Highly recommend this salon!“

“I was a walk in, trying to salvage a horrific haircut that I'd gotten at another salon about a month ago. They fixed me up with Sam, who walked out having the exact haircut that I'd been wanting. She was nice, efficient, capable, and salvaged my haircut. I was also impressed that she didn't "bad mouth" the haircut that I had been given. She just worked to fix my hair the way I wanted. Wonderfully nice, kind and capable people there. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. They have a new customer in me, for sure.“

“Bryan is an exceptional artist. My fiancé hadn’t had a professional haircut in over a decade, so finding someone to style his hair for our wedding was a challenge, but I was determined. We’re thrilled we found Bryan (we were traveling from SLC, UT). He transformed my fiancé into a Hollywood star- lucky me! We’re delighted with the results. Bryan skillfully picked up on my fiancé’s preferences and made the experience comfortable. We couldn’t be more pleased… Thank you, Bryan!“

“George is great! Master of his art. Friendly salon, easy to make an appointment when needed. I enjoy my blowouts here and well worth it. They use top of line products.“

“I booked an appointment with Heather after seeing her reviews, and I'm so glad that I did. It's the best decision I've made for my hair in years. Heather is an artist with a pair of scissors and a genuinely kind person. Sitting in her chair felt like hanging out with one of my girlfriends. Although she's quick, I never felt rushed. She took time to educate me on how to best care for my hair and had me leaving her chair feeling beautiful. Thank you, Heather! Sidenote for those who are coming from Google Maps: The location pin incorrectly shows her studio as inside of Best Buy. Hair by Heather is in Suite #37 inside of Sola Salons. If you enter from the entrance nearest Nordstrom Rack, head left and her studio will be on your right-hand side.“

“Greg is the best he knows how to really work with hair. I highly recommend him he is my go to when I'm in the area !“

“I was so apprehensive about going to a new stylist for highlights. I saw a recommendation for Angel and I'm so glad I took the chance with her. She is very knowledgeable about color and gave me the beige-y-blond highlights I wanted. Just talking with her, you can tell that she really understands color techniques and formulas and will deliver great results. I will definitely go back, and also schedule haircuts with her in the future. I also like that she is very punctual, only books one client at a time so you don't sit there forever waiting in between, and her prices were moderate. I really enjoyed chatting with her and I love my highlights.“

“While traveling, I searched for a salon and found Wild Roots. Lisa was great! Very personable and knowledgeable. She has a private room. Happy with my hilights.“

“Amanda is the hair queen! I have been going to her for years and always leave so happy. The staff is amazing and so kind.“

“I highly recommend getting your hair done by Rosa . She is a true artist at her craft. I’ve had haircuts, color and extensions added to my hair and I always feel she has me looking my best.“

“I started going to Jeff at least 10 years ago, when I was referred to him by a friend whose hair I admired. He is a stylistic genius and can do miracles with any hair type, age, etc. He’s also simply a great person. Worth every single penny!“

“I’ve been a loyal client for two years and wouldn’t trust my hair with anyone else. Jayy truly does this out of passion—not for a quick buck. She listens to concerns, always guides you in the right direction, and her chair has become a safe space for me and I’m sure others as well. I’m grateful not only for her talent, but for the genuine friendship we’ve built throughout these years. You won’t regret booking that appointment.“

“Nicole did an excellent job during the consultation to identify what I wanted and did a fantastic job with both the haircut and color. I really liked the hair products she used as well as educating me on how care for my hair at home. She was accommodating of me coming in with another client in my party and seeing us both.“

“Michelle is the best hair colorist , I a know! She is an artist with hair!!Services: Haircut“

“Nancy is awesome! She took my hair from disaster to perfection with an easy care strategy moving forward. Thank you Nancy!“

“Trust this woman. She knows what she’s doing. Her presence is a present and a gift. I was blessed to have her take care of my glam look last minute and she really took her time and was meticulously preparing me to achieve the look and feel of my photoshoot yesterday on Veterans Day. Her energy is amazing. I can’t wait to experience her and hear her podcast. Her vibe is safe and comfortable. I appreciate you SK!“

“Meagan is very talented and professional. We discussed what I was looking for and it ended up spot on. She asked all the right questions.“

“Hiring Heather to do hair and makeup for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made! She is so incredibly talented and truly listens to what you want. I was so indecisive when it came to what hair style I wanted to go with and a lot of other companies that I spoke to limited your trial to one style, but Heather made sure we tried all of them (5+) during my trials. I'm so picky when it comes to my hair and makeup but Heather absolutely nailed it day of. I wouldn't have changed a single thing. On top of her talent, Heather is also SO easy to talk to. I felt like I got to know her so well and it was so comforting to see her and get to hang out with her day of. I couldn't recommend her more!!!!“

“Hair by Katie! Wonderful highlights and haircut done by Katie at Uncaged Salon! She is great at listening to what you want and explaining the technique and products you can use to maintain it. I notice a huge difference in my hair and have learned so much about styling and at home maintenance. She also has great knowledge about different hair types and has given me the best cut for my thick hair. 6.5/5 stars.“

“I used Vanity Belle for my bridal hair and makeup, as well as for three of my bridesmaids, and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Amy did my makeup and was absolutely fantastic. I decided to make a few changes from our trial run, and she was incredibly sweet, supportive, and encouraging. I also preferred to do my own eyebrows, and she had no problem with that at all. The final result was stunning—my makeup looked like an elevated version of myself, lasted all day, and I received so many compliments!

Amy is fast, professional, and really attentive to detail. All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup too, and we’re so happy with how everything turned out in our photos.

Denise did my hair, and although she came on board last minute, she was amazing from the very beginning. She listened carefully to what I wanted, gave helpful recommendations, and even offered alternative options when I asked. The final look—with extensions—was beautiful and held up perfectly, even through a breezy beach day.

The Vanity Belle team was also great to work with overall. Most of our communication was via email, and when we needed to change my stylist, Jonathon gave me a call right away to talk through everything. They even allowed me to redo my hair trial at no extra charge and were flexible with updating my day-of timeline.

I truly had a great experience and can’t thank Amy and Denise enough. You both made me feel so confident and beautiful. Highly recommend!“

“Great place to get a nice make over! Hair by Leticia and nails by Joyce, dynamic duo. Highly recommend they listen and deliver great service.“
