Best

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...

My Hair is Fried!! 6/7/2009

Do not go to this salon. i walked in with blonde hair and walked out with red hair. worst of all i left with wet hair because the stylist "did not have time to finish my hair", there was no manager around to see this disgusting display of customer disatisfacion. Worst of all my hair is damaged for a very long time. Worst experience at any salon in orange county. Pros: none Cons: small space, limited services more

Great Hair, Wonderful Bonnie 5/20/2009

I am new to California and came across Maxwells Salon (thank you citysearch). With much hesitation (being scared of seeing a new hair stylist after 6 years with my previous stylist) I made an appointment and was booked with Bonnie. Not only was she on time, and waiting with a smile, her demeanor and positive attitude allowed me to relax and feel confidfent in her artistic, work. Per her recommendation, I was ready fpr a change and she gave me hi-lites and low-lites. Needless to say my hair looks stunning and I owe the world to Bonnie!! Thank you for a job well done and for exceeding my expectations! You're a gem! Pros: dual color highlights more

Do not go here. My mistake was costly 4/9/2009

Found this salon through citysearch. I honestly don't know how they got such good ratings; The quality has probably dropped in the last months. The worst experience I have ever had with hair. I came in and the salon was very old and not clean as hair was everywhere. The receptionist was nice and the clientele was quite senior. I had my haircut and highlights done by Erin. She did it in less than 40 minutes which is unusual. She bleached out my virgin hair and insisted on caramel which turned out a bland rusty colored mess and gave me a mop with some flair on the bottom for a haircut. The dye job looked as if a guy was trying to cover up his whites with a drugstore color that wasn't working for him. On top of that, the way she shampoos; it is as if someone was pounding my head and splashing water at the same time; it was so rough that one of my earring almost fell off. I basically paid my charity of $110 (I got a $20 discount for the wednesday deal: original total being $130) and hoping that can finance more education on how to do hair and highlights. I then headed over Toni and guy to get a mass makeover: I had to do some highlight touchups and a toner to provide some contrast and bring up the length because the hair layers was not connected and some length had to be sacrificed. Total came out $195. I gladly paid a sizeable tip (much more than 25%) for salvaging what was once a miserable state of hair. I am moving on and I hope people will learn from me and stay far far away. And if you are getting extensions, she's doing it for the money and not because she loves hair (her words verbatim). Pros: None, maybe location Cons: No education to keep hairstylist up to do date more

Happy with my Hair! 3/28/2009

I am a busy person and can't spend my entire afternoon at a salon to get my hair weaved. Asked the receptionist to set me up with a stylist who is good but also gets me in and out quickly and not kept waiting while they do other clients. She made my appointment with Erin and I am totally happy. She is very nice and knows her stuff. Pros: Didnt have to spend all day getting my hair colored! more

Overrated!! 3/22/2009

I went to see Erin and she does not not what she is doing as far as color. I asked for blond highlights on my brown hair. The bottom of my hair had no blond in it and the top was all blond. It looks terrible. Be careful going to this salon unless you see someone other than Erin!! Cons: BAD Highlights more

impressing 3/22/2009

I went to Maxwells Salon to get my haircut and color done and was very impressed by the service. Everyone was very inviting and my stylist was very nice and talkative. My hair looked great afterwards and I was unsure on what I wanted, but it turned out great. I love my hair now and am for sure going back! more

Has Potential 3/20/2009

I had a coupon for this salon last year. Receptionist was very friendly, and the hairstylist was very concerned about what I wanted. I did get the feel that she was somewhat inexperienced or unsure of herself by the way she carried herself. But other than that I liked the final result, thought I feel she could have done more. more

No sympathy for the sick 2/15/2009

Do not go to Maxwells of London! After thoroughly explaining to my stylist my problems with hairloss and my hairline and after telling her exactly how to trim my very thin bangs and baldin hair I walked out of there with a whole new hairstyle! Very thick bangs that start at the middle of my head 3-4 inches back (and off center to the right )of my head with nothing at my temples! I look like a MULE!!! Ihate it. My hair is falling out from a Hashimoto's disease and the bangs look even worse a month later. I didn't know how bad I truly looked until I had some pictures taken at my dentist two weeks ago. Thick bangs on a balding women are hideous especially when the widows peaks are not covered. I never realized until now what I would look like as an ugly old man.Save yourself the heartache and stay away. more

Great Color 2/10/2009

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
