Gold & Braid Salon

Emma rocks!
I am super-​picky and needed someone to fix my botched a-​line bob with way too many layers. I showed Emma three different pictures as I wanted bangs from one, length from the other, and eventually my layers to be grown out like the third picture. She worked her magic, and my a-​line with bangs added surpassed my expectations of what I thought it would look like.
I am so happy with the end result and glad I found a new hairdresser! Thanks Emma!

Super cute salon! Jessica is the best!!! You need to see her you won’t be disappointed!

Jessica is my go to gal! Her color technique is amazing, and she always gives the best suggestions and advice for which direction to go in with your hair. Been going to her for about a year now, and I am still wow’d every single time I leave! Very reasonably priced and extremely flexible. Highly recommend.

This salon makes «Getting your hair done» an absolute fabulous experience. From the moment you walk in, the staff treat you so graciously. It was like walking into a spa.
Highly recommend this salon. It’s clean, chic and well priced.

Sidney Fitts is the best. She did my hair for my wedding (and for my bridesmaids) and the girl knows exactly what she’s doing. She is patient, knowledgeable, and quick. I must have come in for 3 trials before my big day and she took the time — each time — to sit with me and go over what I wanted, sometimes trying a few different styles!
I went to a few different places for a hair trial (one was just a wedding hair and make up salon) and was never happy with how my hair looked. When I met Sidney, I knew I would be set.
Sidney and her glam partner, Emily, showed up for my wedding bright and early and got all 10 (maybe more??) of us done (hair and make up!) with time to spare. She is affordable, makes time for you, and knows what she’s doing. What more could you want in a hair stylist? Especially one who’s doing your hit for your wedding?! Thumbs up all around.

I love Gold & Braid! Very clean, cute and all around awesome. I’ve been going to Jessica for a couple years now and am very satisfied EVERY time I leave the salon! You could see that she loves what she does. super friendly, down to earth and personable. Highly recommend her!

This review is so long overdue!
Claudia Estrada at Gold & Braid has been doing my hair for about 5 years. In that 5 years, I’ve had highlights, lowlights, bangs, no bangs, extensions, bobs, updos, ombré, pretty much any hairstyle or color you can imagine. Claudia is a true artist and I can honestly say that in 5 years, I’ve ALWAYS been thrilled with my ‘do! She is absolutely amazing and will make sure you love your hair, and that it is as healthy as possible!
Also, Mahby Skin Care at Gold & Braid is AMAZING! I buy all my skin care products from Mahby, and hers are the only products that keep my skin clear. She does the best microdermabrasion facial I’ve ever had too! Highly recommend!

Was gonna go up to LA Ramirez n Tran salon but came across Jessica at Gold n Braid on Instagram. When I saw her work I knew she can do whatever you want her to do. Got in with her quick. She is super sweet girl and listen to your needs and easy to talk to, down to earth person. I basically show her pictures of how I would like the color and cut and she delivered. Love her. Sending my family to her. Thank you so much for a great cut and great color. My new stylist.

I had been wanting to get balayage for a while and I had a friend who had previously had her hair done with Jessica and loved it! I decided to have her do my hair and I am so happy with how it turned out ! She knew exactly what I wanted. I’m obsessed! Would definitely recommend going to her.

A friend from work recommend I go see Jessica when I mention that I wanted to change up my hair. I was able to go in for a consultation right away since I wasn’t sure what I wanted to to do. Jessica was totally flexible with my schedule to set up an appointment. My hair came out great, I definitely recommend Jessica. If you have an Instagram check her stuff out @splitendslayer

I went to my personal hair stylist that I’ve been going to for years to do a gray ombré. It didn’t come out right and I was this weird mauve ash brown. I found Jessica on instagram @splitendslayer and she is AWESOME. My hair came out exactly as I want it, reasonable price, and a great cut. She’s super cool and I would highly and definitely recommend her to anyone.

I have been going to Emma for years and this is her new salon which is amazing! I love the place, the lighting, and especially my stylist. She does an AWESOME job and I would recommend her to anyone (whether that’s just a hair cut for men/​women, blonde, brunettes, etc.) she does it all. Thanks Emma!

SARAH JANE IS GREAT! she always works her magic! Amazong colorist! And listens to what her clients want…

I went for ombré highlights (why didn’t I try this sooner???) and Jenell was conservative, choosing to lighten my hair over more than one session. The price for the highlight was super reasonable, and I’m headed back next week for further lightening. Better to be patient, than bald! Thanks for watching out for my hair, Jenell.

Amazing Salon! Jessica is the one I refer anyone to go to! She very sweet, always having the conversation going and totally understand what her client wants ! She will let you leave the salon VERY PLEASED. Everyone else is so kind and friendly. I haven’t gotten my hair done for about 2 years and stepping my floor back in the door made me want to come back some more. You feel very relax and welcomed ! Never been so happy with my hair! Thanks Jessica !

Finally! A salon in South Orange County that I love! I love the style of the salon itself — very cool. Sarah Jane was amazing. I showed her a picture of what I was looking for and she did it. Perfectly! Seriously — that has never happened for me. Most hairstylists don’t listen or just don’t have the skills. Sarah did. Not cheap, but then again — you get what you pay for. I don’t mind paying the money if the service is that good.

Went to G&B with a groupon for cut and ombré color. My stylist was Claudia and she was wonderful. She was very knowledgable and I could tell she was very experienced. My ombré color was perfect! I have tried ombré once before at another salon and the color didn’t come out at all as I wanted so it was so nice to go in to a salon and come out with exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend Claudia and the salon!

I am a true fan of Sarah Jane. She does the best job out of anyone out there. I always come to her with crazy hair colors and she always helps me pull it off– and my hair is still healthy! I trust her 110% with my blonde, thin hair which is a big deal to me since my hair has been used and abused in the past at other hair salons.
She also does a wonderful cut. Not just a quick straight-​across cut, but she always makes my hair look flirty. She truly goes the extra mile to make sure you love your hair and suggests great at-​home care which is key to maintaining lovely locks.
The salon itself is very spacious and cute. I love the wood pieces in the salon to make it look more down to earth. The waiting area is also very comfy that you could probably nap there (not that you wait long, it’s just relaxing!). Anyone in south Orange County needs to check out Sarah Jane’s true passion and talent!

I have been going to Gold and Braid since they opened. It’s by far the best salon that I have ever been to. The atmosphere is warm, relaxed and comfortable. I’m always greeted by a friendly face at the front desk (unlike some places where it feels awkward as soon as you walk in).
Rene is an amazing stylist! She cuts my hair perfectly and the color is great. I have my hair highlighted. She uses 3 colors and the results are fantastic. She adds so much life to my hair. I get a ton of compliments on it.
They also have a very talented esthetician, Mahby. I recently got permanent eyeliner and eyebrows. I’m thrilled with the results!
Thank you Rene and Mahby for always taking such good care of me!!!

Sarah G at Gold & Braid Salon, has been cutting and highlighting my hair for 4 Years… She is awesome and talented and has a vast knowledge base for hair color techniques. Sarah loves taking additional classes to increase her talents for new hair styles and cuts… and it shows… People stop me often to ask me «who cuts your hair»? Her blow outs are perfection. i have natural curly hair and sometimes leave the salon curly or straight. It’s always my choice! Love, Love Love her talent and personality!
She is the best hair stylist I have ever been too!
