Salon Ambiance

I had been going to a hairstylist up in the Valley for over 10 years and never thought I would leave her....but I read some reviews about Robert at Ambiance and decided to try him out. I am so glad I did! He exceeded every expectation that I had, and my expectations are pretty high! He listened to me, gave me feedback on my current style and color and together we decided on my new look. The color is outstanding- and I used to live in NYC and went to the chic-est salons in the city- and his color and cut were even better than those $400 jobs I used to get there! I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are nervous about changing salons, or about trying a new stylist- don't be. Book an appointment with Robert- he's talented, professional, smart, funny and truly a nice guy. Such a pleasant change from so many off-putting, self-absorbed stylists!!! So glad I found him. more

Robert Raymond is the only person that I trust to do my hair, and he delivers every time that I have my hair done. He is an excellent colorist and always gives great hair cuts, as well as hair-care advice. Robert makes you feel completely comfortable during your visit and makes sure that he gives you exactly what you want out of your cut or color. He is incredibly talented and I would highly recommend his services to any man or woman looking for great hair! more

I am fairly nerw to the area and I really hated the fact I had to drive an hour away to get my hair done! I tried a couple places and still was not satisfied until I found this salon. The customer services if FABULOUS! I was greated by the young lady at the front desk with a great additude and smile! The vibe was good as well. I had my appointment with Robert and he was AWESOME! I only went in for a hair color and he really listened and it came out PERFECT! I plan to do some minor changes to my hair in the future and this is the place I will go to from now on! I highly recommend Robert he knows his stuff!!! SO GLAD TO HAVE FOUND THIS SALON ;D more

I highly highly recommend Robert. I don't just let anyone touch my hair. I am very particular about my highlights and my cut. Its really hard to find a stylist that I trust and that does a great job. I was looking for a new stylist so I went to my moms stylist and he turned my hair grey and it was just awful. I found Robert and he did an amazing job. He saved my hair and brought me back to the blonde I wanted. I almost cried after Robert fixed my hair because I was so thankful. And I had finally found someone I can trust with my hair. Not only that but this is the best my hair has ever looked. He not only keeps my hair healthy but he pays attention to what I want (which is hard to find a stylist which balances the two). I asked him to chop off my hair last month into a texturized bob and it was perfect. Without pictures, Robert cut my hair and gave me the hair I was looking for. He understands hair and what hair best suits you which sadly cannot be said about A LOT of hair stylists. Robert has colored and cut my hair both long and short and he has done an amazing job. Most stylists are usually better at one or the other but Robert is really good with both short and long hair. Also Robert is really accommodating. If you really need to come in Robert usually will try to see you as soon as he can or coordinate schedules to help you out. more

I found robert on city search wanting to be blonde blonde! I had asked my previous hair stylist to make me platinum blonde but that was not my end result. I walked in to this salon showed robert a pictire of what I wanted my hair to look like and he matched it perfectly! awesome hair stylist with amazing talent! I highly recommend him!! more

I found Robert through Citysearch and wanted to pay it forward. I have gone to many different stylists in my 30 years living in Huntington Beach and have finally found someone who gets it. I went to him after a disasterous cut and after he colored my hair even the bad cut did not look so bad. After losing all my hair to chemo I do know it grows back, but I don't have to worry about bad or no hair days now that I found Robert. If you are looking for a great stylist look no further, go to Robert if you want to love your hair again. more

For anyone new to the Huntington Beach area, and has looked for a new stylist through Citysearch, I like Robert. I felt very comfortable with him. He asked many questions before we started, and brought out a tablet to show me a long bob picture that Jennifer Anniston had not too long ago. He thought that it would look great on me, and it does. I'm happy I found him. Also, he was running twenty minutes late for my appointment, and the front desk called me ahead of time. That gave me time to run an errand. I totally appreciated that. more

Salon Ambiance in HB is great! I absolutley love Denisse. She does an awesome hair cut that looks amazing and is easy to maintain. She's very fast too. I haven't been this happy with my hair...well ever, seriously. I highly recommend her. more

I just wanted everyone to know that when you read reviews about Robert that they are true. My hair was dry and lifeless, and he said that I had a lot of breakage from my last stylist. He recommended a Brazillian keratin treatment after my highlights. He gave me some lowlights for depth, and my hair after the keratin came back to life! The only hard part was the highlights and the keratin took a little over three hours, but totally worth it. My hair looks like when I was 17. I think that his prices are totally reasonable too. more

I have been friends with my old stylist for years, but she broke my hair off by leaving me under the dryer too long. I went to city search and read reviews. I'm glad I tried out Robert. My hair is a much lighter and prettier blonde than I used to have . He used a product called silk lift that is much more gentile on hair. Finally, He did NOT put me under a dryer. He told me that is was a last resort. I have had three friends tell me that they like my hair so much better now. I hate to leave my friend, but if I'm going to pay that much for my hair I want it to look like it does now, and not break. more

What can't I say about Robert? First and foremost he took my colorless, limp, so-so hair from ""Good enough"" to ""Fantastic"". When I leave the salon, I am Transformed! I feel like a million bucks and look like, well lets just say people stop me while I'm out and ask, ""who does your hair""? I can't say enough about Robert, he is the best stylist I've ever been to ""and believe me"" I've been to a few. I am very particular when it comes to my hair. Robert is very current with the styles and colors, he knows what he is doing and does it with confidence. I've got brown/blonde hair and when he is done with the color, it looks so natural with beautiful blonde highlights. I recommend Robert Raymond-5 stars-I'll never go anywhere else again. He's also a great guy to know! more

I am so pleased to have found Jill at Salon Ambiance. A friend referred me and i was so happy... I am a very picky blonde, and Jill has great blonde hair herself, and has been able to understand what i want and make my hair look amazing everytime!! Not only is she a great colorist, I have never been as pleased as i am with my hair/bangs when she gives me a trim. 5 stars for Jill Vaughan, Best Hair Stylist in OC! more

Jill gives great men's hair cuts! She makes me presentable every six weeks. Her hair cuts are the only reason I get dates! more

I started seeing Jill when to my surprise when I made my first hair appointment after having a baby (it had been a long time!) I was told my old stylist had moved and that my appointment would be scheduled with Jill. I have been seeing her over a year now! My previously over-thinned out hair is now thick and long! She has supported me in growing my hair out long and never pressures me to get it colored ect. The Salon is always busy and the stylists always seem very professional and passionate about what they do. more

I found Jill Vaughn at Salon Ambiance through various online reviews. My color looks so pretty and natural and the layered cut gave my fine hair the volume and style it needed. Being a blond herself, Jill really knows what she is doing. Jill is easy to talk to and really listens and pays attention to what you want and what will look good on you. I've had so many bad experiences when trying a new stylist (brassiness, ""tiger"" stripes, visible roots, etc.), so after moving back to OC recently I was extremely nervous to try someone new. Jill did an amazing job on my hair and I am thrilled that I never have to look for another stylist again! more

Look no further ladies and gentlemen! Your new stylist and colorist is the one and only Jill Vaughn! She is simply the best. Jill has been doing my hair for over 10 years now and I couldn't be happier. Styles and trends change and so can I with a little help from my friend. She always gives good hair advice and knows her business. I highly recommend Jill Vaughn. more

He's just great. From start to finish I had fun, and came out with great hair. I have a little longer than shoulder length hair that was flat and straight. We changed my color and added some brighter blonde around my face. Then Robert suggested a styling product that has mad it easy for me to curl my hair, and stays all day long. I found him on Citysearch and this is my first review. I just wanted to pass it on. more

Jill is a hair care Professional. She asked questions of what I wanted, made suggestions ... courteously yet firmly, explained what would make me look my best. I followed her advice and will continue to do so. As a man, my hair isn't something I want to spend a lot of time thinking about or having to fool around with...and I don't just want some shaved head look. Jill has provided EXCELLENCE service and advice. I always receive compliments after my hair is cut and styled from others. I HIGHLY recommend Jill as your professional service provider in hair care! more

I have gone to see Jill just once so far, after taking out my extensions done by someone else. My hair was a mess. Jill colored it, gave me a haircut, and styled it. I was very happy with the results. I can't wait to go back! more

When I first moved out to California over 3 years ago I had such a hard time finding a hair stylist that could get my hair just right. And its not like I have a complicated 'do....all over color and a pretty simple cut. I bounced around from stylist to stylist. Right when I was about to give up and rock the Sinead O'Connor look, someone referred me to Jill. She nailed it the first time!! My prayers had been answered. After a few appointments she even had me trusting her to give me bangs....which I hadn't had since I was 12 years old. What I love most about Jill is that she listens to what I want and delivers every time. After every appointment she always texts me to check in and see how I like my hair. Each time my reply is....I LOVE IT!!! Thanks Jill for being so awesome! more
