Studio 4 Salon

Marisol is the best colorist! I’ve been going to her for a couple years for tint/​color. I love how shiny my hair is with a tint of blue black. She is an expert at what she does!

I have recently moved from NY to Cali and had to find the next best colorist. A colleague recommended James Hart– and yes– James is an amazing colorist and is just a nice human being as is his lovely assistant Emma!
Loved their team work. Will definitely come back for another balayage!

If your looking for a great cut ask for James! He always gives me exactly what I’m looking for or better. The front desk is quick to get you to your stylist. The staff has always been friendly.

I’ve been seeing James Hart for a few years and he recently moved to this salon. He is an amazing stylist! Last month, he took me from long and light blonde to much shorter and platinum blonde. Weeks later, I’m still in love with my hair and it is SUPER healthy even with the heavy processing we did to it. James is flexible, responsive, easy to talk to and a gifted hair stylist. Book him and you won’t regret it!

Steve has been my stylist for 6 years and I will never trust anyone else with my hair! My girlfriends have converted me to see him and I eventually turned over my family. His work done on me is what converted other people to see him, too! He’s so intuitive to his clients’ individual needs and knows how to contour their hair to his or her personality and lifestyle. He never rushes and is worth every cent. Steve is one of the most open, kind, gentle people I have come across and having him do your hair is a must experience. Amazing with color and highlights. Friendly front desk staff as well.

Johnny Vigil has done my hair for over 10 years and he is extraordinary in his vision and skill with styling. I have lived in New York and LA and never found a stylist as talented, creative, passionate, and engaging as him. His artistic eye is phenomenal for we have done almost every haircut from the shortest bobs that are perfect in symmetry and detail to the longest tousled layers of my own hair and with extensions. We have explored the spectrum of hair color, for I have been the most rich, dark, sexy brunette to a platinum blonde that Marilyn Monroe would be jealous of. He is truly a creative genius who listens and cares about his clients. He is one in a million.

Had my hair done by Greg Kajiwara. His patience and thoroughness is key! He listened to what I wanted, spent about 3 hours on my hair between a dye (balayage service) and cut (he took off like 3 inches) and it came out superb! I would definitely recommend this salon (it’s clean, big and nicely spaced out) and Greg to anyone!

The Awesome James Hart has relocated from God’s & Hero’s to Studio 4 Salon… and all in Newport Beach rejoiced!
I’ve been going to James now for three years and have never been happier with, nor had healthier hair. Things I love about James:
**ALWAYS on time.
**Bends over backwards to accommodate his customer’s needs, be it squeezing you on for an appointment you forgot to book, or emergency special occasion styling.
**Always makes you feel comfortable and builds great trust/​confidence with his clientele.
**Exceptionally skilled at his trade — besides the great work he’s done with my hair, I’ve seen him work his magic on literally dozens of clients and always with a fantastic outcome. He’ll make the best instructor ever when he gets deeper into educational programs.
**He listens! James gives honest, solid feedback on ideas for changes, and won’t simply suggest services or products to fatten his wallet — he truly cares about his clients satisfaction and happiness.
**He’s so reasonable with his pricing it’s nearly silly… don’t go changin’ on us James =)
**He is enjoyable to hang out with — as is his assistant «The Amazing Emma!»
**He’s F.T.L.A. — a phrase I coined for my own handsome man Patrick M — it means «Fun To Look At)…
**Makes me look terrific #every.single.time
If you’re undecided as to whom to try for a new look, or the best in color and styling, look no further — James is The Man… thanks for always making me look and feel my best James; I hope you know what a true gem you are.

Jason Atkins Rocks!!!
I got a proper gentleman’s haircut by this awesome dude! Greets you with a beer, I mean what more could a man ask for! My fade was ON POINT and side part was like no other! Jason is not just a hairstylist but a true artist! I left looking and feeling like a rock star! Go check out this rad dude and artist!

James Hart is the absolute BEST. he has been doing my hair for a few years, and there’s a reason! he truly listens to what you say, and I have never left his chair feeling unhappy. he constantly amazes me! I get bored with my hair easily, and James is the first to let me know what great options would be, without damaging my fine, frizzy, blonde hair. he is incredible with coloring, SO knowledgeable. I don’t think I could let anyone else touch my hair! if you go see him, you won’t be disappointed! :)

James Hart is the B E S T stylist, hands down! He was so friendly right from the start and did an in-​depth consultation, which is SO important to me. I did Balayage for the 1^st time and was so pleased with the final look! He took so much time & care to make sure the color turned out perfect (& more importantly the way I was hoping it would) & styled it beautifully. He even saw a little layer that was uneven and trimmed it right up for me :) He has a great way with clients and will take great care of you! You almost feel like you’ve known him for years.
Bottom LIne: If you want to look absolutely fabulous, I would highly recommend him for cut and color!

The salon is in a great location if you come here. It’s right next door to the fashion island mall and right down the street from the beach. I always get my amazing hair cut by Daniel Engle and he never disappoints. He does an amazing job and he also is confident in his job and knows what he’s doing. The staff here is beyond friendly and professional as well

This salon is in a wonderful location right next to Fashion Island! The salon is clean and they have complimentary beverages. My stylist is Daniel, and I’ve been going to him for almost 2 years now. He’s a true natural at hair and very talented at his craft. You can just tell by the way he weaves his fingers through your hair that he was born to be a hair stylist. I always trust him with my blonde locks and let him do whatever he wants to them since I know he’ll make me look good! Not only is he great at what he does, but he gives me valuable advice on how to take care of my hair after his salon experience. I always leave the salon with that «I feel beautiful and empowered» feeling. 5 Stars to Daniel and Studio 4 Salon!

James Hart is hands down the best hairstylist! He is amazing with cut, color, I always have him do an hombre on my hair and he is great with blowouts too!!! You have to go and get your hair done by him, I will never have any other hair stylist touch my hair after I met James!

Hair by James. Love my cut and color. Every time I go James is consistently good but always keeps my style new and fresh. I always leave the salon feeling confident and am so glad I was recommended to him by my husband of all people. He does amazing men’s cuts as well. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

James Hart is a magician. he was referred to me by a friend and I couldn’t be happier with the result. He made sure I got exactly what i wanted in addition to perfecting the color and cut to ensure it would still look amazing after weeks of grow-​out. I will absolutely be returning to James for every cut, color, and style. He and his assistant were perfection!

With this picture do I even need to describe in words how amazing DANIEL ENGLE is at what he does? In lust with the rich balyage color technique he used and precision cut, if you or anyone you know is looking to find someone who just «gets it» HE is the stylist of your dreams

Got my hair highlighted and cut today by Daniel! He did such an amazing job on my color and cut. He took his time and made sure everything was perfect. I honesty cannot believe how amazing my hair looks compared to how it looked before. He is such a great person and so easy to talk to! I was there for a good 4 in a half hours and he made me feel comfortable and we had such good conversations. He even took the time before I came in to look into some different looks that would look good on me :)
The salon is very clean and nice and right by the beach and fashion island which is awesome!

Came here twice so far to get my hair color and treatment done by Marisol. After many years of my friend getting her hair done by Marisol, it was about time that I get my hair done by her. On my first visit, she toned down my yellow from a previous color job from another salon. Marisol saw the incorrect color job and immediately devised a plan on how we can get my hair back to health and color correct it. She also did my Kerastase conditioning treatment and i am pleased with the results.

GO SEE RICHARD! After years of bad habits, a lot of DIY hair color with manic panic (LOL) I finally decided to give Richard and this salon a shot after being recommended by a friend. I am so glad I FINALLY came! The ambiance of the place itself is wonderful! A beautiful location and salon. Richard was so kind and caring. He made me feel safe and in good hands. We went with a beautiful red to touch up the orangey mess I had. He brought my hair back to life and after a few weeks it’s still feeling healthy and it’s very vibrant! He took the time to give me all the attention i needed for my hair. Richard styled my hair perfectly inspired by Veronica lake! He was patient and very into his work. I would recommend Richard to anyone looking for a new beautiful look! He will make it happen!
