Papillon Hair Designs

This was my first visit to Papillon and this review is no reflection on the salon, but one of its stylists. I arrived just before my appointment yet the stylist, Julie, was 10 minutes late and without explanation or apology. I showed her a photo of the style I wanted. She said she could do this. I have short hair so it was very important to maintain some length to achieve this style. Julie lopped off 1″-2″ in one area and 3″+ in another area, that had taken me months to grow after having been previously lopped off by another stylist. Ironically, she then told me I needed to grow out my hair to achieve the style I wanted. She also said she likes the «pixie» haircut but I was not going for a pixie!
Julie was also unable to style my hair, mostly because she had cut off so much hair, that I had to take over and complete the styling. Of course, I got to pay for the cut and style. I set another appointment with her for 3 weeks out but will be cancelling after now struggling with this cut — there isn’t simply enough hair left to work with and it will likely take 6 weeks for it grow to a point where I will need another cut.
She did finally apologize, at the end, for being late, citing traffic, and told me she only works 3 days per week. When not treating this as a career, evidenced by being late for the first time with a new client and not even offering an apology, and such limited time working, it may explain her inability to deliver per client request. I am really sorry this didn’t work out and will continue looking for another stylist.

I love when I get my hair done EVERY time. Lynne is amazing and always gets my blonde perfect! High lights and low light are perfect! She’s fixed it and I love it! I highly recommend her! Never disappointed.

I found Papillon Hair Design on Unilocal four years ago and have never considered going to another hair solon since! I have middle-​aged frizzy red (now graying) hair. Yvonne has come to the rescue! I just leave it in her hands and it comes out beautiful. I am often complimented on it. Her assistant Kristie is awesome too. They’re both really nice to talk to an capable hair stylists. If you’re looking for a new hair solon, this is your place.

I’ve visited this salon a couple of times and have never been disappointed. Most recently Kathee was my stylist and she did an amazing job with my hair — I walked in with dry, split ends and no shape, and walked out feeling like one of those bouncy girls in a cheesy shampoo commercial. The receptionist is also super sweet and alerted me when I got there that my stylist was running behind (she ended up only being about 5 minutes behind my appointment). I don’t know why I’ve ever tried any other salons in the area; this is the one for me.

I have been going to Tricia for haircuts and highlights for the past 15 years and she never fails to please. I’ve been living in Los Angeles for the past 3 years and I’ve tried a couple of places nearby in the past for the sake of convenience, but no one compares. I gladly make the drive every few months because I know I won’t be disappointed. The rest of the staff are also very friendly, and Tricia is always very accommodating for me due to my work schedule and the drive. 5 stars!

I Love this place!!! The salon is super clean and everyone is as friendly as can be! It was recommended by a good friend and I couldn’t be happier with Yvonne. Always a smile and eager to make sure you’re satisfied before leaving!!! Just had a Keritan treatment and absolutely Love It!!! Thanks Yvonne!!!

I tried to love this place, especially with the great reviews, and saw two different hair stylists here. I had nothing against the stylists… both seemed very talented.
The biggest problem I had was the unprofessionalism between both stylists I saw. I barely knew both stylists & they both degraded and trash talked their fellow coworkers/​stylists that were working within 10 feet of them. I also had one tell me the entire personal health and marriage history of the client before me, when he hadn’t even left the building yet. If you are trying to win a new client’s business, tell them about yourself, ask questions about them, make yourself personable. But don’t sit there and tell all the personal and professional gossip of your coworkers and clients and the business. It’s tacky.
I won’t be returning.

Yvonne the owner is very friendly and nice. She’ll do anything to make you feel welcome and comfortable. I’ve been coming here for almost 10 years!

I’m so happy I was referred to Papillon! I have been having my hair done by Ali for about 3 years and couldn’t be happier. She and the rest of the staff are friendly and pleasant. I appreciate that I get a reminder phone call the day before my appointment. The décor inside is pleasing and interesting (in a good way) and it helps to make a relaxed visit each time I’m there. There is always coffee (Keurig), water, soda, and treats available if one is interested in them.
I look forward to many more years at Papillon.

I wouldn’t trust my hair to anyone but Hayley! Great atmosphere, as well.

Erin is the best! I’ve been going to her for 5 years or so and am always beyond happy with my hair. She also did my hair fort wedding (and the girls) and did a perfect job with everyone! Love, love, love coming to see her. Would recommend her to anyone!

My teenager just rushed through the door after being at Papillon. He was so excited about his haircut! All you moms out there… stop the sports clips madness! Papillon is the best! So now he wants to go to the city dance! Hows that for feelin’ like a handsome dude. Thanks Yvonne! Once again, you rock!

Papillon is Fabulous!!! Marliese is even better!!! Ive been going to Marliese forEVER! About 7 years when she was at a different salon. I was desperate to get my hair done and she was perfect! She did exactly what I wanted. I have never had a bad hair day when I leave. I have a pretty funky color ideas and she always pulls through.
Marliese makes time for my daughter too! and she loves going to see Marliese because she always makes her feel special.
I would recommend Marliese to anyone… she is AMAZING. We love her!!!

Papillion Hair Designs is THE best salon I have ever walked into. The receptionists are always great, you are never left un-​greeted. I have been going to stylist Marliese for the past 7 years and have never once been disappointed. I’ve gone from a blonde to strawberry, low lights, highlights, a bob to long hair and have gotten compliments every time! Request Marliese!

I love this place. Great atmosphere. Great stylists! Lots of products to choose from. You can get your nails done and facials too! One stop shop!

I love Papillon! I have been getting my hair done with Trisha for a few years, since she was working at a previous salon. She was recommended to me and my mom by a friend, whose entire family also had her do their hair. She’s great, she specializes in color, and since I always want to tweak and change my hair color it’s perfect for me.
I moved to Sacramento for about 3 years, and I had one hair cut up there that was so botched, I’d actually schedule my hair appointments at Papillon to coincide with my visits to southern California. Yes, I am that happy with how Trisha does my hair that I would wait to travel 400+ miles for my hair appointments lol. All the other stylists seem great too, their clients all seem happy, and the other staff is friendly and helpful, I definitely recommend Papillon!

Erin K. Is the best :) love this place all the ladies are super sweet and always in style which I think is super important in this industry. Love love papillon!

Love this place! Lynne does my hair: partial weave. She’s always sweet and consistent. My hair tends to go brassy and ever since I have been going to her I have never had a problem.
Wouldn’t go to anyone else!

Simply put, this is the best salon in North Orange County. Tucked just behind the Yorba Linda library, they specialize in hair but also offer manicures, pedicures, an esthetician and a masseuse. Owner/​Stylist Yvonne is amazingly talented, friendly and down-​to-​earth, as are all the staff. I get frequent compliments on my hair and (other than my mom & dad) I owe it all to Yvonne. She is an artist when it comes to color, too.
The experience: the salon is super clean, cute, cozy and comfy. All ages and genders are welcome and seem comfortable here. I always get offered a drink of water, coffee, tea, soda or sometimes wine/​mimosas. It’s just a fun, comfortable place and I always leave feeling like royalty. Even if it’s a bit of a drive for you, it’s totally worth it.

Simply put: Hayley is adorable and SO good at what she does!
I’ve been going to Hayley for years now and have truly never once been anything less than thrilled with my hair. I trust her so much at one point I had her take off 10+ inches and style my first bob. She has styled wonderful cuts for long hair, layered mid-​lengths and short bobs for me. I’ve also had her color and highlight my hair, both looked wonderful.
I appreciate how thorough and knowledgeable Hayley is about hair. She will be honest with you about the hair you have and I trust her opinion on what will or will not look right. Not only is she smart and talented but she’s a doll to spend time with. She is the only hairdresser I’ve been to that provides an experience where I don’t feel nervous watching every cut in the mirror. At times I’ve told her to do what she thinks will look good and I’ve never been disappointed.
As a college student forever on a budget, I love how fair her prices are. She’s never once asked me to buy any additional products even though the salon has such a variety and I always feel her prices are appropriate for the amount of time and work that went in to each individual cut. I would pay more if I could!
Papillon is a wonderful, classy and professional salon with a great atmosphere and very friendly, wonderful ladies. I sing your praises! :)
