I rarely write reviews - but I am so happy with the cut and color I felt I really needed to say something about what a fantastic job Bonnie did. I am new to the area, and spend ...

Worst

I went to this salon to see CINDY and had the worst experience ever. She damaged my hair beyond belief, then flat ironed my wet hair. And took 5 hours to do a partial weave. Then...

Great Color 2/9/2009

After going to a stylist who had been damaging my hair and had absolutely no idea how to work with color, i decided to give this place a try. I was suffering from that horrible yellow /blonde brassy color that is often seen around orange county. On top of that my cut was un-even and stringy, and i had two brassy fake looking colors in my hair. I made an appointment to see CINDY and she worked wonders. She gave me the most BEAUTIFUL NATURAL golden highlights, and cut my hair into a stylish shorter style that better suited me. CINDY really knows what she is doing, she was patient, really listened to what I wanted and explained what she was doing along the way, which I really appreciate because I was nervous about going to a new stylist. I am eager to go back to her. GO SEE CINDY, SHE IS AWESOME! more

Not recommended if you have a busy schedule and/or work full time 12/15/2008

I have been to see Erin from Maxwell's Salon several times and was very happy with my hair color and cut style. However, when I make an appointment 3 - 4 weeks out from the date I expect the appointment time to be stable. The last two times I have made appointments the salon called me at the last minute to change the appointment time which really is not acceptable. The first time my appointment was for Saturday in the AM and I received a call on the Thursday immediately prior to reschedule to a Tuesday. The reason I make the appointment so far in advance is because a Saturday is all that I can make. That time they allowed me to come in and see another hair stylist. That hair stylist took 3 hours and then charged me $30 more for the exact same service as Erin provides. All of this was forgiveable. I scheduled another appointment for 10.30 on a Saturday morning the next time. At 10.30 the Saturday of the appointment (my appointment time) the salon called me on my cell to reschedule for the next Saturday because Erin was really busy. If I made the appointment 3 weeks in advance, shouldn't they have refused the extra clients they gave appointments to after me? I made it all the way to the salon before seeing the missed call and I was still turned away. Pros: good service and style Cons: unreliable and unable to meet appointment commitments more

Go to Sooki for Japanese Straightening, trust me you won't be disappointed. Mine turned out so beautiful.. 11/24/2008

After reading all these reviews about this hair salon, I was a little reluctant to go but my friend had referred me to Sooki at Maxwell's to get my hair straightened and layered so I decided to give it a try. My girlfriends hair turned out absolutely incredible and since I have long wavy, frizzy hair I wanted fine silky straight asian hair. Let me tell you ladies, I got mine done before my Thanksgiving and Christmas family party and oh my god! It's unbelievable. I'm so satisfied with my hair. I even got it layered and it looks so pretty! Everywhere I go, people compliment on how pretty it looks, my husband likes it too! The lady who did my hair was so honest and professional. I highly recommend her. See for yourself. more

From the moment I made my appointment at the Salon, I was pleased with their customer service.I am a super busy person that tends to make last minuet appointments do to my hectic work schedule. This was the only Salon that went above and beyond to get me in for an early appointment .I met with Erin, who was extremely sweet and nice! She gave me great hair styling tips and took the time to teach me about maintaining my haircut. I just got my hair done last week, and I keep getting many complements. Pros: Great Service, Nice Staff Cons: NONE more

Patti is a great stylist! 10/28/2008

Patti has cut my hair for years and always has great ideas for what will suit my hair, face, and life style. I have a tendancy to ignore my hair and Patti has a great way to keep it up to style without trying to force me into a high-maintenance style. more

Patricia Uritis was an excellent sylist. Excellent hair cut!!! 10/27/2008

Patricia Uritis was friendly, professional and a really good listener. She listened when I described the cut I wanted, made a few suggestions (which I appreciated) and then did it exactly as we had agreed. She was great & I will definitely go back again! more

I had great experience with Erin 9/10/2008

Well, i don't just go to any hair stylist, but Erin I loved. She listened to what I wanted and gave me some suggestions that I actually liked. Like the color of my hair since I was so tired of highlights. as she cut and washed and styled my hair, she gave me so many useful tips as how to keep my hair healthy and how to style my hair so easily on my own. she has great personality and knows what she's doing. She also cuts great bangs! (I don't know if thats how you spell it)! Thank you Erin, and I will be back! by the way, the next day, I went on vacation and was glowing all through vacation coz I loved my haircut so much!! more

Carlos saved me from myself!!! 9/2/2008

Carlos is my hero! I first went to Carlos about a year ago after many years of tragic results from colors you can only buy at Hot Topic and various bottled blondes found at your local drugstore. My most recent catastrophe was the year-long experiment as a redhead. The results were in, I wanted my blonde hair back! In one afternoon, Carlos carefully and patiently turned my reddish, orange-ish, gross-ish hair into the most beautiful soft pale blonde. Although my penchant for color has not subsided, I have given the reigns over to Carlos. He has transformed my hair; it is longer and healthier than ever!!! Pros: Carlos! Carlos! Carlos! Cons: He won't live in my closet and do my hair everyday. more

Overrated 8/31/2008

This salon is extremely over rated. As a 20-something, I thought the salon was much more for the older crowd who may not care too much about what their hair looks like. I had Erin after being told I would have another stylist who was recommended because of my extremely fine hair. Erin lectured me the entire cut about how I should style my hair then, she cut it totally lopsided. She didn't even check to make sure the lengths on both sides where even (they weren'y!) and she cut drastically shorter layers into one side of my head compared to the other so it looked totally silly. She didn't give me the worst hair cut I have had but I think this salon is getting a lot of high ratings when they should be much more professional. more

Erin is an Awesome stylist!! 8/18/2008

As a man with fine hair that has an impossible time finding a stylist that will give me the right cut, I was throughly impressed with Erin. From the moment I sat in the chair, she asled me exactly the right questions to help me decide what I wanted. Even after the hair cut she gave me tips for how to style my hair for a more modern look. As a man, I feel shy some times when it comes to breaking a conversation with a young attractive stylist, but Erin made me feel like her big brother as we talked about sports and entertainment. The overall atmosphere of Maxwells Salon is a treat. It is not noisy and I always get a high level of hospitality. I have even gone in to see Erin between haircuts just to get my hairstyled for big business meetings and family gatherings and she has been very accomodating. I just cant say enough positive things about getting a professional mens cut at Maxwell's Salon with Erin. Pros: Great Level of Service and high quality Men's Haircut, I loved it! Cons: Nothing at All more
