I loved Jesse but she recently left the salon. She had scheduled an appointment for me with a new stylist but when I called to confirm there was no record of my appointment and Amber was not working that day. I was scheduled with Carlos. After meeting him, it was clear he was inexperienced so instead of getting color with blue green highlights, I asked for a trim, toner and conditioning treatment. Maria who he asks for help on my color, convinced me to get my roots done instead. I was there over 2 hours, he cut 2-3 inches and it was $190 (I also tipped 40) . He used every product possible on my hair during blow dry and curled it. I had said just a trim as I prefer a low maintenance style. Until I had to do my own hair, I didn’t realize how bad the cut was. Basically the ends are uneven and rough cut. He also literally only did the roots and did not pull any color through the rest of my head.I did not complain and still tipped because I did not realize how bad the cut was. Maria did not ask if I wanted another appointment or product (which I actually needed). I’m just very disappointed that I need to find a new salon and stylist as I always had such a great experience with Jesse but clearly can’t trust this salon anymore.

Love this place and love Richard! My hair has never looked better!Aveda products are fabulous! Richard takes the orange out of my hair, which no one has been able to do. I love what he has done for my hair. Always stylish! Plus...I enjoy Richard.

I have been using this Aveda location, across the bridge of the mall on Bear Street, for all of my haircut needs since 2009. The first gal I got was great & did such an amazing job that I became a loyal client since then. Unfortunately she moved, but then I got Allie who worked on my hair for years & years up until she left. She was also great & somehow even though I would only get a cut once a year, she would remember everything we had chatted about the year before!I came back last week for a visit now in 2020 and was lucky enough to get Maria. She has been with Aveda for 1/2 a decade. I absolutely love businesses that take care of their employees. The result is long time & loyal employees, which maintain long time & loyal customers. It was a pleasure being worked on by Maria. We talked about so much & have lots in common, that it was just like chatting with a new found friend.I definitely strongly insistingly recommend Aveda Michael Richards salon to all looking for a 100% perfect cut every time. And trust me from one who has visited the cheap commercialized spots time after time, but every time needing to have someone else fix what they did...which in the end, ends up costing about the same as just going to a real salon with hairstylists who all know what they’re doing. Not only do they only employ top notch stylists, but all of the Aveda products that they use are also high quality all available right there for sale so you can continue the Aveda treatment to your hair at home!

So grateful they could take me. The salon is very well run. My stylist did exactly what I asked and I was out in record time without feeling rushed!

Richard ll has been my hairstylist ever since my first visit here and has done a terrific job every single time, especially with every visit involving a different hairstyle. He is very polite, customer-oriented, and talented at what he does; he has used multiple haircutting techniques on me efficiently, producing amazing results. He is speedy and efficient, yet also does not rush through his work - its hard to explain until you experience it. One other major positive of Richard is that he does not push products and services on you. If prompted for a consultation on what hairstyle to go with, he gives his opinions (all of which have been fantastic so far), but he will always listen to your preferences. The staff are really nice, and will offer you tea, coffee or water to drink and an assortment of magazines to keep you entertained. Overall LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

Did not like my haircut from this place at all. The picture I showed the stylist that I wanted was not at all what I ended up with. She cut my hair way too short and now I have to wait for it to grow out to even get anything done with it to make it look better.

If you want to get the BEST COLOR in Orange County, go see Richard. He is a color expert. He knows my hair type, he has great ideas and vision, and he recommends great products. Richard just knows what’s he’s doing!The space is amazing, the other stylist are amazing too. Stephanie cuts my hair also.. I have to go in once a month to keep my hair trimmed and tailored. Stephanie is a pro at giving me my classic cut!Thank you guys!

Had great experience with my highlights. No harsh chemicals were used and didnt try to sell me on unnecessary treatments as usually salons do. Star is pretty friendly too. Ill be back

Great salon, beautiful location and incredible talented stylists. I would highly recommend Richard Michael Salon to other men to get your hair cut here. I’m particular about my hair: I like clean cut and classic. The stylist always know how to interpret my vision! Thanks Mindi, Gloria and Sara!

Wonderful job repairing my daughters ballage. She loves the copper tones and wants more.

I was lucky enough to have Gloria as my stylist. I could not have asked for a better cut and color. Gloria was such a pleasure to spend the morning with. Not only did I leave feeling like a million-bucks, she was so friendly and funny as well. I definitely recommend Richard Michael Salon and Gloria if you’re looking for a salon in Orange County. It has five stars for reason !

I just had an appointment with Mindi and she was fantastic! Not only did she do one of the most thorough full head of highlights I’ve probably ever had, but she was also fun to talk to and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire appointment. I highly recommend booking Mindi for your next appointment!

Exceptional service and attention to detail. Fantastic mens cuts, which arent always easy to find.

My layers and highlights finally blend... thank you so fuc**ng much 😘... It was a very different yet very pleasant experience. Couldn’t be happier.

I made an appointment and they wanted me to wait 45 minutes. Pass. Get it together guys.

Love the Richard Michael Salon. Always a must on my California visits.

Allie Pike is the stylist that keeps me looking and feeling fantastic!
