Orange Crush Studios

First off, I love how clean and small this place is. It’s not huge and overwhelming. My stylist is Daisy, I’ve gone to her 3 times now and every time, I am more than satisfied. She really understands what I need. I’m never afraid that she’s going to cut off too much or that she doesn’t know what shes doing. She doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable (sometimes it can be awkward and silent when the hairdresser doesn’t make small talk). Overall I will keep going to this salon, so long as Daisy is there :)

DAISY DAISY DAISY. My first review didn’t do Orange crush justice. The customer service is great. They knew I was unsatisfied with my first stylist, so the owner called me to fix it. Of course, I was hesitant. However, I am glad I did. Daisy was able to fix all the mistakes and made it better than I can believe! I was completely shock of the transformation. She took her time explaining everything. I had a better understanding what she was doing and what I should expect from it. Not only I was educated, but I went home satisfied. I will be back for Daisy! :) thank you for her! She is my savior!

I take appointment with Reed every time. He is excellent at his work. So meticulous that he won’t even allow a single hair to be out of proportion.
Tips: Try to go on weekends so you’ll get a lot of time for discussing about your hair styles.(That’s what i do ;))

I had a terrible first experience here. My highlights were completely botched. I came in with pictures of my hair the last time I got it done at a different salon but maybe that wasn’t enough direction for the stylist? Regardless, it came out patchy and I was very embarrassed. I called the salon later that day asking to speak to the owner and I was hung up on. I called back and it went straight to voicemail where I kindly said that I was unhappy with the color and if they’re going to charge like a high end salon they should really give high end salon quality. The owner got back to me that night and offered to have a different stylist try to fix it free of charge.
The second stylist I tried here (Autumn) was great! She fixed what she could and I wish I had just gone to her in the first place. I’m not sure if the first stylist was just having an off day or maybe blonde highlights weren’t her thing but it really turned me off from the salon.
I’m sure I’ll go back to Autumn someday but for now letting my hair heal from the whole fiasco. Owner is very professional and I’m impressed that he was willing to fix the mistake his stylist made.

Cozy little studio, very comfortable. Reed took the time to get my cut just right. It’s been a month and I’m still getting compliments everywhere I go!

Got my hair cut and highlighted by Autumn. She is really good! Perfect combination of passionate about good hair cuts and style, and a perfectionist. I will definitely come back.

I love supporting small local businesses especially ones in my new neighborhood, but unfortunately I came out with a hairstyle that I did not ask for nor wanted. Even when I try to hide it in a ponytail it looks funky (in the worse kind of way). It’s so bad that I’m dropping another $ 100 this same week to get it fixed at different reputable salon where I know they educate and train their stylists.
The lady I went to was super sweet and friendly, but she just wasn’t good at cutting hair… Or More like giving me the style that I wanted. I thought she’d have more skills since her bio had the longest list of classes/​trainings. I told her I wanted the trendy textured natural wavy look with 2 inches off of my long hair that’s down mid-​back. This should have been easy since I already have naturally wavy hair. At the end of an hour and 40 minute session (which was a bit too long for me). I was left with a drastically overly layered straightened blow-​out animé character haircut. (I knew it was bad when my manga-​artist friend wanted to draw my hair.) Its so bad that the first layer of hair on top is only 3 inches long. ;(It looks like I have a choppy bob with long hair underneath it. I asked her again if I could do the natural wavy look with this style, and she said yes. She was wrong.
Anyways, I’ve learned my lesson. Stop a stylist when he/​she asks you to get off the chair and stand to see if both sides were evenly cut or if she keeps burning your scalp (about 8x– no joke, it really hurt) with a blow dryer. Like I said, she was a really nice person, but a natural/​messy textured wavy look with some rockstar edge does not mean straight haired Japanese animé character hair.
I’m not sure how my new stylist is going to fix the very short layers she cut. I’ll probably end up with a short mom-​hairstyle bob, which I was avoiding since I am a new mom. But I’d rather have that than what I have now.
This does not reflect the whole salon, but was my experience with only one of the stylist. I did see happy clients walking in and out of there. Other than that like I said, everyone is really nice and friendly there including my stylist.

I got a haircut from Daisy and was very happy with the result. Daisy is very professional and very nice!!! The cut took a little bit too long in my opinion but it was done well. Thank you Daisy!!!

Anjelica has gone to Gilbert Studios and I followed her there. Only a short trip from Orange crush!

I just moved here and was terrified to get my hair highlighted by a new stylist. I found Orange Crush Studio as they use the same products my stylist back East had used and made an appointment with Autumn. She was friendly, professional and she did a great job. I’ve had some horrible color/​highlight jobs over the years, but Autumn put my fears aside. It did take a long time and I have to go back to get my hair cut separately, but in fairness she hadn’t met me before, didn’t know how long my hair was, and we had to talk a few minutes about color and what I liked before she got started. I’m looking forward to getting my hair cut next and seeing how she does.
The studio itself is small (there are only 3 stylists), but bright, fresh, and cute in a funky way. It’s in Little Japantown which was a cool area to explore (great sushi!) and when my parking meter time ran out, they kindly ran out and put quarters in for me! I think I have found my new stylist and studio in Northern California and I’m excited!

I went to get a haircut by Daisy a few weeks ago, along with a hair conditioning mask. It was a lovely experience and I loved my haircut. The haircut did take a bit longer than usual but what I appreciated was Daisy’s attention to detail. And the prices are great! It was $ 45 for a haircut and the mask. Win-​Win! I came out with an A-​line bob that I loved! :)

This place is cute and doesn’t smell like a ton of hair products the way some salons do. Daisy did a great job with my haircut. She took her time and layered it well. I am very happy with the service and will definitely be back.

I came here for a noon haircut appointment. When I arrived, the stylist told me she needed 10 – 15 minutes to finish up with a client. However, 40 minutes later, it was clear she was nowhere near finished with that client. I had to leave without a haircut since I knew there was no way she would be finished with my hair in time for me to get to my next meeting.
I cannot recommend this place for anyone with a busy schedule who is relying on their appointment to start and finish within a reasonable amount of time.

Service is great. During my color the receptionist went across the street for an ice coffee and snack for me. It was a long ombré/​balayage session and I needed caffeine
The outcome was not what I had asked for. I showed the stylist a picture of the color and general style of ombré I was looking for. Basically I prefer the very gradual and natural looking gradient look. The end result was patchy and very drastic in color. There are certain parts that have literally a dot of bleach in a sea of dark brown. Additionally the highlight goes way up near my roots for «face framing lightness «I’m sad… and haven’t gone out without my hair up in a bun.
Also for a shop that does color they don’t have a full head dryer unit. I was asked to sit outside in the warmer weather. I think that might have contributed to the uneven color as well.
I hate to give local businesses a bad wrap, but I paid a lot and spent a long time in the chair for something that I’ll probably cut off, or cover up.

Kim is awesome! I set up an appointment with her for a hair cut exactly a week ago. I’ve never been the type to style up my hair so For the past 5 years I’ve always had the same hair style. But this year I decided that I wanted to do something different and cut my hair short.
I decided to go with an asymmetrical long bob. I spent days reading reviews of other hair salons in the area and finally decided to go with Kim and am I glad I did. She cut it almost exactly like I wanted it. She cut it a tiny bit shorter than I asked, but it actually turned out great!
She did an awesome job informing me of what she was doing and why. I am so pleased with my hair cut that I am definitely coming back! I keep getting compliments on my hair. I love it!

Daisy was great! I used to be so afraid of short hair but she made me love it now. She left me with a cute new haircut and soft healthy looking hair. She also gave me a much needed bang trim. I highly recommend her and definitely plan on being one of her regulars.

I came here yesterday for a long overdo haircut. My appointment was with Laura, who was on time, professional, and very nice. I’m fairly abysmal at describing what I want in terms of hairstyle, but she picked up what I was looking to have done and executed it perfectly! Additionally, I thought it was wonderful that she barely used any product in my hair– most studios pile everything in.
Love the online booking system, great pricing, and I’ll definitely be coming back.

Angelica, you are the Goddess of (human) Mane! I wanted to air my gratitude to you and the rest of the Orange Crush Goddesses for making me laugh on each visit. I don’t even have to worry about the type of cut, color, or style your talented hands give me because it’s always perfect for my mood and the season! I am so happy I left my 10 year relationship with my now ex-​stylist and started a fruitful one with you… now going on our 4^th year ;)
Thank you for the «just got off the mortorcycle» cut… I love it and so does he :)
See you soon for the «fall season» look!!!

Best hair cut I’ve ever had! Angelica is seriously talented! I can’t list how many over-​priced stylists I have wasted money on in the past. I’ve searched the South Bay for more than 5 years trying to land someone who has the vision and skill to figure out my complicated and fussy hair. It turns out that I know a guy, that knows a guy, that is related to a cosmetologist professor at City College. From there, me and my messy mop were referred to Angelica at Orange Crush Studios. Turns out that this hair cutting thing is both a science and an art that requires both extensive training and artist gifts– both if which Angelica has tons of!!!
Don’t mess around with discount hair cutters or posh over-​interior decorated trendy salons and get with the real-​deal, experienced, trained and super-​pro talents at Orange Crush! Thanks Angelica!!!
So fresh and so clean!

Ok I live nearby. I’ve read reviews about O.C.S. I’ve waited enough I think. Two days ago was my day to chop my hair. I’ve been attached to it for so long I’m sick of it! Long hair rocks but not anymore for me.
Enter Anjelica. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and told her I’m scared! She’s so cute she said «if you’re scared I’m scared too». «Let’s choose a longer version of the style you presented me with on your iPad».
An hour later and I’m one very pleased customer:). She took her time and her cut is exquisite! Everything is so well balanced that I’m still amazed of my simple cut. It’s a no fuss type of style perfect for backpacking or a YEE where I debuted my new cut.
I think no matter who you choose at this salon you won’t be disappointed. I chose to let the dice roll here and let fate decide who will chop my hair. It so happened that I got Anjelica. She knew the significance of «that day» to me and took the «roller coaster ride» with me.
She’s a keeper and I’m a fan!
