Such a great salon! I have been looking for such a great salon for a long time. All the girls are so proffesional and so nice. The girl who did my hair, Brianna, did an AMAZING jo...

I looked online for a good stylist in OC and stumbled upon this salon. I booked an appt. With Krista Wong and she did a decent job the first couple of times I went to her. However...

Extraordinary Service! 10/21/2010

Last week the good folks at this salon (Jeffrey Michael's Salon, in Lake Forest) literally saved my daughter's wedding, when her scheduled hair and makeup artist (from another studio) failed to show at our house, at 7am, the morning of her wedding. My wife had recently become a customer of Jeffrey Michael's Salon, and she gave them a desperation phone call, about 8 am. Their response was AMAZING! They pulled together a small team of people to prepare my wife, my daughter, and her attendants for the wedding, scheduled to begin in just a few hours -- and they turned a budding disaster into a wonderful success! Their reaction was extraordinary, both as individuals who did such wonderful work on so short a notice, and as a business, by going far beyond the norm to help a bride on the edge of disaster! I heartily recommend them to anyone seeking a really excellent salon! more

best salon and I mean it 10/21/2010

On the morning of my daughter's wedding, the hairstylist/makeup artist was to come to our house at 7am to do my daughter's hair and makeup and also the hair and makeup of the girls standing up with her. When she didn't show up by 7:15, my daughter phoned her. Turns out, though she had actual e-mails with the date in black and white, she thought the wedding was the next day and was unable to come this day. We were all in a panic as to what to do. I had just recently discovered Jeffery Michaels Salon. Katy, who is terrific at color, had helped me out of a botched hair color job. So I called Katy to see if there was a chance she could help us out of this situation as well. Katy was wonderful. She got the ball rolling. She said to come right over and someone there would get the job done. When we walked in, one of the owner's was there and when he saw my daughter's tear-streaked face, he said, ""You don't want to have red, puffy eyes at your wedding, do you?"" He proceeded to tell her to sit down, relax and they would take care of everything. AND THEY DID! The girls involved, Katy, Emily, and Brittney did an outstanding job and were so nice and accommodating. My daughter and her maid of honor looked fabulous. I can't think of any other salon that would have been this accommodating and do such a professional job on such short notice. WE THANK YOU ALL. You made such a wonderful difference in our big day. You are truly an outstanding salon! more

OMG! Best salon in Orange County 10/19/2010

This salon has the nicest staff, however my favorite is Andrew! He is very talented and I heard he does make up too!. Believe me, I am picky with my hair and Andrew can make me happy with it. That says a lot! more

Best Haircut Ever 10/18/2010

Katie is absolutely wonderful! She is the best hairstylist I have ever had! She listens to me and can always give great advice on style, cuts, and the best way to care for my hair. Katie is very sweet and will help you with any questions you have. I trust her completely and I never want to get my hair cut by anyone else. more

Emily is Fantastic!!! 10/15/2010

Always cheerful and listens to what the client wants. I have never gotten a bad haircut or anything less than being in LOVE with my hair when I leave my appointment with her. I highly recommend Emily for a cut, color, or style! more

Great Experience-Talented Artists 10/14/2010

After having two horrible experiences with hair stylists when I moved to California, I went on this sight to try to get some feedback from people in the area about their recommendations. I visited the salon and found the manager/owner so helpful. He suggested a few stylists for me. I picked Krista Wong and I have to say SHE IS GREAT! She nailed my color first time in and her haircut was superb. The products she uses were excellent for my thin hair.She listens and discusses and uses her talent to please. more

Best hair cut in the world 10/13/2010

Katie Callahan - Run to get your hair done by her. It is the best cut I have ever had in my whole life. She is nice and extremely professional. Once she cuts/colors your hair you will never go any where else.! more

Brianna is definitely the BEST!! Hands down! 10/13/2010

She gave me the best haircut I think I have ever had... I am used to going to some cheap franchise place and getting my really bad haircut and living with it. They always mess up and I never feel confident. Not only did I walk out with a huge burst of confidence but I got a compliment about my hair at the bar that night and even got the girls number at a bar that night! She did an amazing job and I will definitely be returning!!! more

Krista is the BEST!!! 9/20/2010

I can't even express how impressed I am with Krista. After bleaching my own hair for years, I decided to have a professional correct the damage I had done. I found Krista on CitySearch and she fit me in to her schedule as soon as she could. She listened to what I wanted and educated me on how to take care of my hair and get it back to being strong and healthy. I knew it would be no easy task to get my brassy, over-processed hair back to a pretty, natural blonde but Krista amazed me! I never knew my hair could look so good! I'm in love with my new color and I'm excited to have such an awesome person to trust with my hair. Thanks so much Krista!! :) more

Krista is AMAZING! 9/19/2010

What a great experience! I was searching for a new salon and stylist on CitySearch and I found Krista at Jeffrey Michael's salon. She received several fantastic reviews so I decided to schedule an appointment.\r \r My expereince was fantastic! I went in for a cut and color, and I left extremely happy! It's hard to get the perfect chocolate brown....without going red! Krista did it! To top it off, she also gave me the best cut I have ever had.\r \r Krista will be my go to girl from now on! more

Krista is outstanding! Client for life :) 9/18/2010

I can't say enough about how impressed I am with Krista at Jeffrey Michael's Salon. After bleaching my own hair for years, I finally decided to go to a professional and have my over-processed hair corrected. I found several outstanding reviews online regarding Krista and the Jeffrey Michael's Salon so I decided to give it a shot. I couldn't have made a better choice. Krista was very attentive to what I wanted and took the time to make sure the color was exactly what I asked for. I am so happy to have found someone who I can go to and trust with coloring my hair. Thanks so much Krista! more

Krista is my go to girl for hair color and cuts! 7/14/2010

I found Krista using CitySearch and Yelp. I saw that she already had amazing reviews on her color and cuts. My hair was originally blonde but I had dyed it red. It was in the process of coming back to blonde and I needed her advice to get it back to how it originally was. She was straight forward and honest and told me my hair the best way to get it as blonde as possible. Wow, she blew me away. With just one visit I was extremely happy. No joke, my hair was pink from the blonde and red I had in before. Now, this might not happen with everyone trying to do a drastic change, but she got me happy with me hair again. No more hats for me! I came back for a cut the following week. I even left with my hair wet. She had cut my hair so great, I let it air dry and it was amazing. It was that good of a cut, I didn't need to style it to get it how it was supposed to be. All in all, I loved talking to Krista and I walked away a happy camper with my blonde hair again. I'll be sure to book her again when I need another dye or cut!! Pros: Honest opinions of hair, great prices, comfortable Cons: nothing more

Curl hair? Go see Brittany 4/25/2010

I first went to Brittany in October of 2009. I actually across the salon on City Search. I called to make an appointment, and told the lady of the phone that I'd like to see someone who had experience with curly hair. She told me I should see Brittany, so that's exactly what I did. \r \r #1 mark of someone who knows how to cut and style curls: she took a look at it, felt it, and asked me questions about how it behaved. Only when we agreed on her understanding of it did we go to the shampoo station. Right off the bat, Brittany impressed me. \r \r I needed a decent trim (about 2-3 inches, I think), and I told her that I didn't want to lose too much length. She listened, suggested some slight layering to give it shape and loosen some bulk. And that was exactly what she did. Whenever I go in for a cut or trim, she does exactly what I ask her to do. \r \r Everyone's wonderfully friendly, they don't push products or procedures on you, and the price is right. I paid $50 last time for my cut and style. And I bought a product that Brittany indroduced me to (it's the only product I use! Imagine that, on curly hair!)\r \r Moral of the story: if you have curls, I suggest you go see Brittany. You won't be sorry. Pros: Everything: Price, Ambiance, Parking, staff. Cons: None that I've found, and I'm a repeat customer more

awesome 4/16/2010

I have lived in the area for a year now and haven't been able to find anyone good that can do my hair. I went to a girl named Tanya at this salon and she was great! Very sweet girl, easy to talk to, and she understood exactly what i wanted. My color was amazing, my cut was amazing, and she styled my hair perfect! I would definitely recommend her to anyone! Pros: great service more

Andrew is a godsend! 4/8/2010

Andrew has been doing my hair for years because he knows my style and can tame my unruly locks. He will be honest about what will look good on you and is very patient. He also gives the best head massages ever! I look forward to the shampoos more than anything! I always walk out of that salon feeling like a walking ad. People always asks me who does my hair. I wish I was rich so I can hire him as my personal stylist so he can do my hair and makeup every day! Recently, he talked me into getting a Brazilian Blowout. Oh em gee... it was the wisest investment I've ever made on my hair. My hair is thick and wavy and prone to frizzies at the hairline. It takes forever to blow dry and style my hair... about a couple hours. I was blown away by the amount of time it took for him to blow dry my hair after the process. 15 minutes! And without a round brush??? I was so dumbfounded. My hair was so sleek and shiny without the effort. It cut my styling time to half! The real test was how it withstood 12 hours at a music festival. Usually my hair frizzes out after a night of sweaty dancing but by the end of the night my hair was still sleek and shiny! I have told every girlfriend I have that they HAVE to get a Brazilian Blowout. You should too. It will change your life! Pros: you'll walk out feeling like a million bucks! more

Entire Experience AMAZING 4/8/2010

Let me first say that I am a closet diva. I am very picky, but I will never tell you what it is that I am picky about. With that said, I could not find anything negative to say about this place. I walked in without an appt at the end of the day and said I needed a haircut/highlights TODAY. The man at the front desk offered me something to drink while I waited for him to find someone who had an opening. I told him I would be patient but didn't have to wait hardly more than 5 minutes. Emily was my stylist and right off the bat, she was open and LISTENED to what I wanted, and offered suggestions. She did a GREAT job with my highlights, and cut my hair perfectly the way I asked(didn't bring picture). The best part was getting the scalp massage. Seriously. ALL the staff were very friendly and talkative-but not overly talkative, and not about anything inappropriate-I hate overhearing conversations that make me want to give you an disapproving look. OVERALL I will go back. I didn't have a regular salon until now! The lighting was good, music not too loud-super friendly staff-drinks while you wait!-and best of all my hair looks great-the cost was imo the industry standard. VERY PLEASED-oh and I chose to try it out based on reading the reviews here. I had to go back on and reaffirm them! Pros: Friendly, polite staff/ drinks while you wait/great cut! Cons: ? more

Brazilian Blowout is Amazing!!! 4/6/2010

Wow! This Brazilian Blowout is Incredible. Andrew is my Hero. I had this done about a week ago and now decided to share with everyone how amazing this BB is. I've been living with gross frizzy hair for over 20 years and Andrew introduced this treatment to me. I have to honestly say I was skeptical at first, but he assured me that it was amazing and ""Life Changing"" his exact words. So I thought what do I have to lose. After he flat ironed, I was amazed at how smooth and frizz free it was. Then he said the final step was to rinse out the excess and just blowdry. I was thinking no I want my smooth hair. So after he rinsed it, he just blow dried my hair barely using a brush and my hair was still smooth and frizz free. I still had my wave but NO FRIZZ and what was amazing is NO FLAT IRON! WHERE HAS THIS BB BEEN ALL MY LIFE! I've been going to Andrew for almost a year and he's always Amazing with my many different hair changes, and after this I will never trust anyone else with my hair but Andrew. So don't ever move Andrew! By the way, I have washed my hair 3 times already and guess what NO FRIZZ! Pros: Brazilian Blowout! more

Krista Wong really does ROCK.... 3/30/2010

I found Krista from reading other reviews on several different websites. Let me just say this....I've recently moved here from Atlanta - and I have been through 3 other Salons in the last year here in the O.C. I don't have any friends to recommend their favorite places, so I went on-line. It took me a few tries....but I got it right with Krista. When I made the original call, the young lady that answered the phone was actually able to quote me on the cost of the cut and color, and THAT IS WHAT I PAID. I don't know about anyone reading this review, but that has not been the case for me in the O.C. Everyone acts like it's taboo to set a price...and I don't appreicate that.... She didn't obnoxiously try to sell me on the salon's products (she mentioned them like she should) but I didn't feel uncomfortable....and I actually may buy them on my next visit. She's very nice, and very sweet. I will go back for sure. This was my first appointment, and I finally found someone that can mange my nightmare hair. Thanks Krista. Heidi Pros: Great Color and Cut..... Cons: Non more

Best Place to Get Your Hair Done!!! 3/16/2010

I live in Anaheim and still drive to Lake Forest to get my hair done... of course I can find some where closer, but as they said if it isnt broken why try and fix it. Every time I get my hair done people always compliment on the color and/or cut. I love getting my hair washed, its so relaxing. I have Curly hair and many hairdresser have not known how to deal with my hair, but Krista Wong has not dissapointed me. Krista has learned my personality very quickly and I might come out with crazy ideas and helps me on what might be best for me, so I dont regret something later. The drive is worth it when people notice I have gotten it done even when its not a big change! Krista you ROCK!!! Pros: Best highlights! Cons: The distance from my house more

Where the magic happens! 3/16/2010

I will be the first to admit I am not the savviest salon critic, but all the more reason to write this review. I have always had a love hate relationship with my locks and its really more on the hate side. Im so lazy and the last thing I want to do after I wash my hair is blow/straighten it. That all changed after I had a ""Krista Cut""! She is a great stylist and a master at her craft, I look forward to every visit and by the time she is done I am stitches with flawless looking hair. I would recommend to any of my friends, as a matter of fact she was recommended to me by SEVERAL of mine! more
