Hair A Juku Salon

For everyone who loves hair knows how hard it is to find a great stylist that takes the time to listen to what you want, give you an honest input before you start and of course delivers what they promise they can. I went in with my hair HORRIBLE. I had not had dyed my hair in about 5 years and I made the mistake of going to another salon and that stylist just decided to mess it up. Luckily, I still had a lot of virgin hair since my last stylist only did some red highlights in various places. So, almost immediately after dropping $ 150 I had to look for a fix, so I went online and checked out a few places. Hair A Juku caught my eye immediately! I read the reviews and everything checked out great.
I made an appt. and I was scheduled with Sheena. When I first met her she was super friendly right off the bat. I told her what I wanted and she explained the process and told me she will do her best, but as my hair was a dark brown with red and going from that to my light ombré ash blonde was not going to be easy. Yet, she did wonders! She worked on it for about ⁷¹⁄₂ hours and got all the red out and gave me a gorgeous ombré blonde. I received soo many compliments after.
The salon is super cute and extremely modern, which makes the time go by fast. the music is always playing and I always love every song!
I recently went in for my second visit to go more light to achieve my «pinterest» color. Well, this time was just as amazing as the first with Sheena. I called a couple days before I wanted to go in but she was booked solid until the next week and a half. I took a Saturday early afternoon appt. I got there and we started about 2pm after going over what we will be doing. She was upfront with pricing and told me since my hair took the blonde so well the first time she had high hopes we will be able to achieve my «Pinterest» color aka a balyage (she asked me if I would prefer doing balayage instead of ombré again and since I trust her I immediately agreed) light ash blonde with silver mixed in. She asked me if I would mind if she used 2 shades of blonde with no hesitation I told her I trust her and to do what she thinks will come out best.
I am completely glad I let her do that! After about almost 5 hours I was finally getting to see the results as she was blow drying my hair and even with it wet I was soo excited to see how white/​light blonde it was! She had moved up the balayage a little higher and the rest of my hair was a gorgeous, super light blonde with silver pieces. I have what I would call «Pinterest» worthy hair! Although, all the bleach that was used my hair still feels and looks healthy. She gave me tips to keep it that way and I purchased the No.3 Olaplex step to keep my hair healthy until I go back in about 2 months (the great thing about balayage– you don’t have to worry about roots). I also am trying to grow out what was once straight bangs and now they are side bangs, but Sheena cut them and blended them with my hair so it wouldn’t look funny. She gave me a full cut, since I was due for one and I love it!
After she dried it her next client arrived so she wasn’t able to finish styling. Quick Backstory: When we were still in the coloring process I told her I was thinking about cutting my hair in a LOB (long bob) and I wanted to learn to curl it the messy, wavy beach look. She said she would do it for me if she had time. So, she had another stylist do it and since Sheena had added 2 shades of light blonde and some silver the messy, wavy beach look just made my hair look that much cuter! I couldn’t stop looking at it when I got home and I still can’t!
Although, it took 5 hours the time went by sooo fast. Sheena is soo friendly, nice, and takes her time to get to know not only your hair, but you. She remembers the little things (like how I want my hair parted or the fact I am thinking about going shorter). This salon also offers you beverages, cookies, etc., to snack on while you wait. Where the cashier table is there are hair products all around for purchase. I was looking at their flat irons (I need one) and blowdryers and I wanted them all! Then I looked at their selection of brushes and their wands! I am planning on going back next week for the wand, the brush, and the purple shampoo :) I had already picked out what I wanted to purchase earlier, but I forgot to grab them when I paid.
As you probably realized by now I HIGHLY recommend not only this amazing, gorgeous salon, but Sheena. She will not dissapoint. I am highly picky about my hair and it takes me a long time to fully trust someone, even as simple as a trim, but now only working with Sheena twice I can now say she is my permanent stylist. No one else will ever cut or color be hair again! Thank you Sheena for giving me my gorgeous color and teaching me how to rock my hair messy, yet cute! Also, she has the cutest hair and an awesome color herself! I wish I had a reason to visit more often!
Fun Fact: Décor is always on point!

I came to see Ashley today for a color correction and she really delivered! I told her what I wanted showed her a picture of what I liked and I love the result. My hair looks so great! Come see Ashley!

So this review goes out to Linda! I was recommended to go to her because my best friend got her hair done by Linda & her hair is beautiful.
So of course being that it was my first time dying my hair I wanted to go to someone who knew what they were doing & I didn’t care at what cost it would be… Well Linda definitely the one to go to! She really talks you through the whole process of what to expect & what she’ll be doing with your hair. She’s also really friendly & easy to talk to so me being there for 6 hours went by fast!
Also, the salon is SUPER cute! And they’re very clean.
The whole staff here too takes care of you… They offer you drinks (water, coffee, tea), and snacks (chocolates and cookies from what I remember). My first hair dying experience was amazing thanks to not only the hospitable staff but how nice my hair came out by Linda!

I would have assumed they would have reached out to me for the bad experience I had. What a salon. Can’t believe they treat their customers this way. Still upset with spending that much money on bad service. I still tell people what s joke they are.

Here we go again, Nicole G you are the bomb! I trust my hair in those gifted hands of yours! You are simply the best! I posted my pictures on Facebook and I’m getting so many compliments. Thanks for making me feel special.

Ask for Veronica or Ara. They’re both very good at what they do and I’m super grateful I can trust them to do my hair without worry.

A little pricey but very happy with my daughter hair. I forget the name of the stylist but If you bring 3 or 5 cans you get $ 10 off.

This is a review for Sheena!!! I came in with crap hair, 3 shades of blonde complete with a harsh dye line, wanting to try and go back to my original hair color, a dark brown, she matched it so well and the end result was perfect!!! I was expecting to still have my harsh line even with the brown but it was completely gone!!! She gave me great tips about how to fix the ends of my hair, which where the most damage was! She took her time and styled my hair so nicely! She really didnt have to but i totally appreciate it! She really knew her stuff!!! I most definitely recommend her for a great dye job!!!

LORD! Let me tell you something! My hair was disgusting when I came through. It was way too long and was just dead. I just randomly booked an appointment because I’m always driving by here and I’m really glad I did! STEVEN! You worked magic on my head and you have made me a huge fan! I can’t wait to come back and get my hair dyed! Just a little side note about the store itself. I love the ambiance and the flow of the shop. It looks little, at first. And then you round the corner and it’s so open and I loved the HUGE ASS CHANDLIER in the middle of it all! The owner came up with such a beautiful concept and it’s all about details. I love this place and I will be back!

This review is for Sheena! Request her if you come! I had a fantastic experience with her and with the outcome of my hair.
To start, I came from Bliss Salon in Corona and had a horrible experience. Bad service. But mostly, the hairstylist dyed my hair orange. I booked with Sheena and she was able to get my hair to a brunette color.
It was one of the best hair experiences I’ve had in a while. I’m happy with the hair color and felt she really paid attention to me as a client.
I’d recommend that anyone get their hair done at this location. I’d also recommend Sheena because she was so friendly and attentive to my needs as a customer. Especially since I had a bad experience at my last hair appointment. Well done Hair A Juku!

It was my first time there about a week ago, and as soon as I walked in I was impressed. The place is beautiful and their staff more so. I had called ahead to make an appointment, i was greeted by a very friendly employee and was set up with Sheena for the following day. What a great match! She did a great job listening to all my concerns and was able to give me a great hair cut even though I had very little direction to give her. So pleased with my results I will be going back to have my hair colored soon.

First time at this salon! Great experience. Jessica Recchia did my hair and I absolutely love it! From the minute you walk into the salon the person at front desk was super helpful. Everything was super clean. And I love the décor and theme of the salon. Definitely would recommend coming here! What’s even cooler is they work with a local charity and if you bring in canned goods you get a discount on certain services! Ask for Jessica Recchia!

Update: went to get my hair touched up today and Jeremy came through once again so so happy with how my hair came out! Also the staff was super friendly and helpful like always

Veronica hands down the best ! I had a whole color transformation ! And I couldn’t be happier with results ! I love my new hair ! Ive always dreaded going to salon because of some bad experiences ! But she totally understood exactly what I wanted and kept me informed every step of the way on what she was doing ! And totally exceeded my expectations ! Found my hair lady !

I’ve been looking for a a hair place where I feel comfortable and I get good service. This place is it! I had Nicole and she was so sweet and explained everything she was doing while she was doing it. She was gentle with her hands and made sure every step of the way that I was ok. I love how my hair came out. I have been avoiding a hair cut for about a year and a half now because I never like the finished product. That’s not going to happen anymore because I loved it here! Would totally recommend to anyone!

I hate to give this salon a 3 rating, but this review is for my first and second visit combined.
First visit: Absolutely amazing service and outcome. My hair was a dark reddish brown and I went blonde. Jessica did a full weave of highlights and it came out beautiful. It was exactly what I wanted and I received SO MANY compliments! Recommended a couple of friends to her. They both went and loved her work. I also love the auto text confirmation/​reminders!
Second visit: I was super excited because I was going lighter on this visit! Originally scheduled appt on a Friday at 6:30pm. Jessica called several days prior to my appt to reschedule to 5pm, but I wasn’t able to. Received auto text on Wednesday to confirm 6:30 appt, confirmed on Thursday, then received auto confirmation on Friday and saw that my appt was rescheduled to 5pm. I called and explained that my original time was at 6:30. The receptionist apologized and said that Jessica could still accommodate me, but only for a color retouch, not highlights. Thankfully, I have a flexible schedule and was working in the area so I made it at 5 with less than an hour notice.
Jessica did not apologize for the last minute reschedule, but I brushed it off because I was so excited about my hair. Business went per usual, until the outcome. My hair still looks okay, but the bleach bled at my scalp and I have a few patches of blotchiness. She also didn’t foil the middle of my hair at my hairline, so I have a super dark line that looks terrible if I don’t have my hair covering it. By the time she was done the salon was closed. I mentioned it to her and she asked if I could make an appt the next week, which I couldn’t do. I went back the next day to confirm the specific colors she used because I ended up having to go in myself and fix it (I’m a licensed Cosmo, so I definitely wouldn’t recommend doing this if you’re not). I guess from a customer service standpoint, I would never allow someone to walk out of a service that wasn’t 100% up to par. To a stylist, these errors should be obvious. She checked the process multiple times and should have seen the bleeding. It shouldn’t have happened in the first place, but since it did, even if she didn’t have the time to fix it at that moment, she should have let me know instead of waiting until I noticed it.
I really love they way she did my hair, but I’m not as confident as I was the second time around. If I go back again, I really hope the outcome is better.

All the staff members at Hairajuku do a tremendous job. I have had a few different stylists do my hair, mainly because I usually make last minute appointments and they always find a way to accommodate me! The environment is great, the salon is clean, the music is good, and the stylists are very friendly. They always aim to please, and make sure I’m happy before I leave. This is a great salon that exceeds expectations.
P. s. I love that they always have coffee and refreshments for their clients. Owners and management must know what I like because they always have it.

This is my new favorite hair salon! I just relocated from Hawaii and was looking for a «go-​to» salon… Found it!!! Steven did an amazing job with my hair and I will definitely be coming back soon!!!

Great salon with a knowledgeable staff.
I hadn’t died my hair for well over 5 years and I went in there for a consultation with no appointment.
Luckily, the salon director had a few minutes and she took me back to hear my requests. I let her know I wanted a change but nothing drastic and since my hair was «virgin» hair, she said we should leave the base color alone and gradually go lighter.
After we agreed on a color and style she told me she’s leaving early BUT she has Stephen available for me. I took that appointment later in the day and went on my way.
When I got in Stephen’s chair he was very professional and he definitely knew what he was doing. The entire dye, cut, and style process took about 4 hours but it was totally worth it. My hair came out beautiful and it is still healthy and shiny. I will recommend Stephen to everyone I know!

Attention MEN. Nicole Gallegos is a winner, easily the best I’ve found in the IE. I’ve lived all over and she is on par with the best stylists I’ve seen. Have no fear, let her know what you’re looking for and rest easy knowing she’s a pro.
