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...

Erin is an Awesome stylist!! 8/17/2008

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

Do Not Bother 8/6/2008

Honestly, I don't believe all the good reviews on this site are all real. That is my opinion after visiting Erin at Maxwell's Salon. She was a nice person, but she really did a bad job...she probably is not familiar with different hair textures and just does the same type of cut she knows how to do. Good for some...not for others. I will never come back. I will tell my friends of my experience and that's why I'm sharing with you. Really, don't they train their people?? more

I am a happy new client of Maxwell's 8/5/2008

I was desperately in need of a weave and cut and my regular stylist could not fit me in for weeks. I couldn't wait and found Maxwell's on City Search. With all the positive comments, I decided to give Maxwell's a try. The receptionist was great and she set up an appointment for me with Erin. Erin listened to my needs and did a terrific job with my color and did an awesome cut. A very nice and relaxing experience - I will definitely be back again. Pros: Great job done in a timely manner Cons: None! more

Cindy is the BEST - I miss her!!! 7/18/2008

Cindy Lorraine has been cutting my hair for years and I wouldn't let anyone else touch it!! She has incredible skill and great attention to every little detail. I used to have waist-length hair and then chopped it all off (donated to Locks of Love!). Cindy was the only person I could imagine trusting with cutting my hair that dramatically! She did a wonderful job and since then has given me one cute short cut after another. Always listening to what I want! She can take my random thoughts and make them come together right before my eyes!:) Pros: cindy!! Cons: none more

If I had the money to fly back to California to have Cindy do it, I would!!:) Pros: cindy!! Cons: none more

Walk don't run to Maxwell's Salon of London 6/26/2008

I read the reviews from this website and decided to give Maxwell?s a try. Made an appt for a cut and color. Staff was friendly when they greeted me, place looked clean and well kept. I specifically explained what I wanted and even went to great lengths to show her how I comb my hair and that I wanted it to lay the same way. Holy-cow is all I can say as I saw my hair fall to the floor. I thought for a moment I was in a super-cuts or hair school with a student in her first week. If there was any technique to the cut I did not see it. Now hair does not always look right until you dry it so I decided to give the benefit of doubt until she was completely finished. more

If there was any technique to the cut I did not see it. Now hair does not always look right until you dry it so I decided to give the benefit of doubt until she was completely finished. She applied the color and I asked her several times to please make sure that she checked for any that might have gotten on my skin. She said of course she would, so why did I find discoloration on my skin when I got home?? When it was time to wash the color out, I guess she never learned how not to get my blouse wet when washing hair. Then instead of drying my hair she decided to use a bunch of something to hold my hair together. What the heck is going on here I thought?! I mean when you get a cut it should look great when you finish drying it and then you put stuff in to only help it maintain its shape; not to mask a bad job. In the end the color she did was OK, the cut was way Below ok. I really can?t see how this place got such a high rating. My recommendation is if you just looking for an ok job and nothing great this is the place for you. Maybe it is the Orange County curse, since I have had to try quite a few places that say they are great; but turn out to be barely ok. So if you are looking for ok do NOT go out of your way here. I am sure you can find a place that is just ok closer to your home. more

You'll love your hair again! 6/24/2008

I went to Maxwell's on recommendation of this web site and I was glad I did. Erin worked on my hair with ease, flair, and professionalism. She definitely knows what she is doing with weaves/highlights and style. The receptionist is friendly too. Prices reasonable, and they don't push products on you. Will be back again for sure. Pros: skill, relaxing, easy to get too since off freeway and parking plentiful, prices decent Cons: n/a more

Where in the world is Wendy?? 4/15/2008

Last month I had the BEST haircut of my life with Wendy and when I called back today to schedule another appointment with her, Maxwell's told me she LEFT THE SALON. Do any of you know how to find her?? I have a very particular short haircut, Wendy cut it perfectly, and I am extremely reluctant to let anyone else try to replicate it. more

elegant, relaxing, beautiful 4/11/2008

When I go into Maxwell's Salon of London, I feel relaxed and excited all at once. This amazing salon's employees, owner, and atmosphere shine with excellence and expertise. It doesn't surprise me that they have won the Best Salon in Orange County Award. When I go, the haircut and coloring makes me feel like a celebrity, but when they get to the deep scalp massage, i drift into a deep sleep. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for a great pampering. Pros: Close to freeway, upfront parking Cons: They wouldn't let me sleep there :] more
