Excellent salon for those who wish to have their hair professionally groomed and then be able to walk away and duplicate the style yourself until your next visit! I began with Saverio approximately 8 months ago. I have only had 3 stylists in the last 40 years but I needed someone who understood the workings of my difficult hair. I walked in, waited approxmimately 15 minutes until he completed his client's hair and then we spoke. He LISTENED while I explained what I wanted to do. He then gave me his opinion, did not pressure me into making an appointment and just said to let him know if I wanted him to do my hair or if I wished to have one of his other stylists do it (he is more expensive of course!). I liked him immediately and made the appointment. Never been sorry! From the first appointment to present, he does not change. He says ""talk to me"" when I walk in to find out what my needs are and I speak of change of styles and he gives opinions and we go from there. Yes, he does put hair products on his station that is prudent to my type of hair; however, it is only as a reminder in the event I am running low. NO PRESSURE whatsoever to purchase. Everyone smiles, asks if I would like coffee, tea or water or refills. It is one of the most pleasant atmospheres to be in for a few hours! The bookings are geared to your needs which means time is taken with each client. Saverio is so passionate about his work, his stylists and his salon and how everything must be A+ at all times. Even washing your hair includes extra time so you may have the massage that begins the relaxation of your total experience! You have to love how the client is the # 1 priority at ALL times. The fact they have not moved from the LH Mall for over 18 years tells you how well thought of they are in Orange County as well as by Redken! It is a training center for new as well as those stylists who want refresher training. Bottom line, there are more than one good stylists to select from but if you want the professional who will work hard to make you happy, listen to your opinion and then be the consummate professional to help you feel like you are the only one at that point in time, walk in and speak to Rosemary, Saverio, or any of the other stylists and you will understand why I am so high on this salon. One last thing. I always get a friendly reminder via email and then a call from Rosemary two days prior. She is the best as she is always smiling and always there to see to it that you are taken care of before, during, and after. Want to feel special - give Julian Hans Solon a try!
