Cindy Wade at Ashtin Salon

Cindy is amazing!! I cannot say enough fantastic, flattering and sincere things about her and the quality of her work. I get to be the lucky girl who walks around having awesome hair and getting compliments on it, and it is all because of her masterful touch. Cindy has given me hair color that is so flawless, even my husband doesn't know it's not real! I have found Cindy to be an expert at her craft, and a genuine person. She listens, takes time, and makes sure that her client is happy. I am lucky to have found her, and I appreciate her very much! more

Cindy Wade has been my hair savior for years!!\r \r I first started going to Cindy about 15 years ago, after having had a really bad hair cut and color. She explained every step and listened to my likes and dislikes, made absolutely sure we were on the same page before she started coloring and cutting my hair. Cindy is super-precise with color, my hair cuts last for an amazingly long time, being simple and fuss-free as I like my hair to be.\r \r It goes far beyond the fact she's incredibly meticulous with getting just the right color, has a fantastic eye for details when cutting your hair, she is also a true professional who takes immense pride in her work.\r \r Cindy provide a high quality of service and I am more than happy to provide her name to my friends or whoever asks the name of my stylist!\r \r The salon staff at Ashtin are always very friendly and it's a nice environment. more

Cindy Wade is a hair magician!\r \r If you don't believe in magic, you will after Cindy gets her hand on your hair! My hair has never looked better or been healthier. I always have a hard time finding someone who can make me a bright blonde without damaging my hair. That was until I found Cindy. She is basically a hair doctor, who totally brought my hair back to life. Her cuts are equally as impressive. My hair looks great with little effort. She is truly AMAZING and I constantly have people stopping me, complimenting me on my hair. \r \r Cindy is SO knowledgeable and is great at hearing what I want. There is no one better than Cindy.\r \r Thank you Cindy for always making my hair look incredible! more

Out of the many up-do's I've had in my lifetime, Cindy Wade out beat them all. I put all my trust in her to do what she thinks would look good on me and she gave me amazing results! I could not be any happier. Very sweet and friendly lady. She is quick with her hands and walks u out in no time looking flawless. I got my up-do for a wedding and I was nervous that I looked better than the bride to be! That's how amazing she is. I def will be coming back for her services. Thank u Cindy!!! more

In the 20+ five star reviews below everything's been said, and it's all true. Cindy is such a professional, creative talent, with the most pleasant, friendly personality. But she won't bend your ear with excessive chatter, a failing of many stylists. You can always trust that she will give you her complete attention, tailor-made to your unique requirements. I've been with her for a good three years now and have never been less than delighted with my results. Give her a try and you'll be an instant convert! Cindy's a real winner!! more

I went to Cindy after a close friend recommended I see her for a color correction after having a bad experience at another salon. Cindy did a FANTASTIC job of correcting and blending my bangs and toning down the previous highlights I was given. I felt like she took her time and evaluated my skin tone and eye color when choosing my hair color. Thank you Cindy! more

Michael Klomsue coloring my hair WAS A HUGEEEEE PROBLEM> I wanted to color my roots light brown. He shuffled in the color cabinet and went to the ground floor. He came back with a mixture and colored all my hair darkest brown. ANGRYYYYYYYYYY. He must have added some other substance or more of specific substance that caused my face to swell and got allergic and various issues related to error in mixing the hair color. I had to take medications for a week and had scalp problems including hair falling out. And he charged me 300. OMG. I wwonder if the error in mixing the color was intentional or stupidity>\r I bet you that Yelp will remove this negative comment. more

Cindy (Master Stylist) is truly an amazing hairdresser - have been her client for more than 4 years now and I am so happy with her work .... she always wants to make sure that regardless of your style or color you choose your hair is always healthy, shiny and look-like-natural in a very sophisticated manner. I also admire that she consistently wants to be up-to-date with the latest developments in the industry by consistently attending and participating in shows, presentations in various states. She also teaches as an instructor for other hairstylists; her work is present in several magazines including a recent Oscar De La Renta show. Go Cindy! Sg more

I agree with the other reviewers about Cindy. I have extremely fine, straight and delicate hair that has been very damaged by harsh highlighting processes. I let my hair go for eight months while I searched for a new stylist with whom I felt comfortable. I came upon Cindy's reviews on this site and decided to meet her. I could tell in our initial consultation at Cristophe that she listened to me and understood what I want - very natural looking color that doesn't damage my delicate hair and a simple cut that doesn't require a lot of styling and product. After my first appointment with Cindy, I am very happy. I love my hair, and am relieved that I found Cindy and now have a stylist who I trust. Cindy is very down-to-earth, professional, highly experienced and knowledgeable. I will be back to see her every 6-8 weeks and can now cross off ""figure out hair"" from my to-do list! more

I never know what to do with my hair, therefore I have had more bad hair days than good hair days. I had given up on the whole hair thing. I needed serious help. I met Cindy and checked out her reviews. She had so many great reviews, I thought I would give her a try. In her consultation she asked me what I wanted to do with my hair, and I had no idea, I gave her carte blanche with it. She questioned me at length to get the feel of my personality and went to work. I must say I was overwhelmed with the result! The cut was amazing, and I have never had so many compliments on my color before. I love my hair and have nothing but GREAT hair days now! Thanks Cindy! more

I am very lucky to have found Cindy Wade. I found her on the internet after searching through many sights. She truly is an expert when it comes to hair. I came to her with a haircut and color that I was not happy with and she is now working on perfecting my color and cut. She took in to consideration my eye color and skin tone when choosing what color to use on my hair. After two visits the difference is amazing! She even showed me the proper way to blow dry my hair, which no one has ever done before. Looking forward to many more visits! Thanks Cindy, you are gem. more

My wedding was coming up, but I still hadn't found a good colorist (my hair was a mashup of several bad and faded salon colorings). My sister, who has been getting her hair colored and styled by Cindy for about a year, suggested I try her. I'm so glad I did! Cindy was able to give me the most incredibly vibrant and natural looking red hair I had been dreaming about. Cindy suggested a slight variation in the front of my hair. Now, I just part my hair differently and I'm able to get either a brighter, sunnier red, or a darker, sultry auburn. I love the variation I can now get with my hair. My wedding pictures just came back and the color was gorgeous, just the way I always imagined. Thanks, Cindy! more

I found Cindy on the internet after getting the worst haircut of my life at another O.C. salon. Cindy has been cutting and coloring my hair for the past six months. I am thrilled to say that my botched hair cut has shape and style and my dull, hard to manage hair looks healthy and vibrant. Cindy listens to what you desire and makes sure you are happy with the result. She provides helpful insight on what products to use and how to do your hair at home. My search for the perfect stylist is over. Cindy knows how to get it right!!! more

I have been eagerly visiting Cindy Wade at Armando - A Joshua Christopher Salon for almost a year now. A lot has changed during this time: my hair is now vibrant and healthy, and I have a new found respect for those with a gift for hair. Cindy is an artist. She is a seasoned stylist but her cuts, colors and knowledge of hair and products are cutting edge. She is constantly educating and challenging herself through classes and contests. Cindy even recently styled models' hair for an Oscar de la Renta Fashion Show! Cindy is able to create a hair color that complements my complexion so well that I have all my co-workers convinced I am a natural red-head.\r \r It was a no brainer when I convinced my sister to allow Cindy to fix her botched highlights - a week before her wedding! My sister's hair is incredibly thick compared to mine and much longer, so she wasn't sure she would get as incredible results as me. However, on her wedding day, her hair color dazzled in the evening sunlight! \r \r Finally, I don't think you will find another stylist as kind and attentive as Cindy. Your day will perk up really quick just by meeting her! I'm happy to say she is MY stylist and a dear friend. more

This salon was beautiful and the staff was very friendly. The first time I came to the salon I needed my makeup done and Cindy Wade was so helpful and made me feel so beautiful. She does an amazing job and she is the sweetest person. I had a lovely experience. Tony Ghattas was recommended to me to get my hair done. I was so impressed. He nailed my color, highlights and my cut. I was so happy with the results i even sent my picky husband to him. He even loved him. I'm so happy with my experiences with these two people, i wouldn't go else where. more

Cindy did my makeup for my wedding and I was so pleased with the results! We had a consultation beforehand and I brought in some pictures of what I wanted and she did a test run on me. You always want to look special on your wedding day and that is exactly how I felt after Cindy did my makeup. It lasted all day and through the night even with my tears throughout the course of the day. The makeup looked natural and I looked like me and my pictures turned out gorgeous!!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cindy to anyone who is looking for an exceptional makeup artist for their wedding day or any special event that you are going to. She is creative, talented and has a wonderful energy about her. more

I am from DC, but was living in Newport Beach for six months. I found Cindy Wade on the Internet and made an appointment for a cut and a coloring. Cindy did a wonderful job. I was sorry when I had to go back to DC because I can't find anyone to do my hair as well as Cindy. However, every time I am in Orange County I make an appointment with Cindy and my hair looks great. Pros: Everything more

If you have short hair like I do, then you know how hard it is to find someone who can cut your hair and not give you a ""boy"" cut. If you are lucky enough to find someone who can actually give you a great short hair cut, you grab on and hold tight! I just found that stylist, Cindy Wade at Armando Salon! Thanks Cindy!!!!! more

For the last year, Cindy has cut and colored my hair every 5-6 weeks and I have never felt better about my hair! Cindy listens to her clients and makes sure they are happy with the style, whether it is a new cut or a trim. Cindy always makes you feel comfortable and welcome. I would recommend her highly. more

Cindy is a true artist. Her calming presence is very much appriciated and it reflects into the confidence of the work she does. Best hair style and color in Orange county and LA for that matter. Pros: progressive salon, does not over book clients, relaxing Cons: none more
