Nancy’s Hair Expressions

Based on several of my experience with hairdressers and hair designers at beauty salons in NY and LA, Nancy is one of a kind; she is thorough and knowledgeable on the benefits of hair treatments with dedication professionally. It’s difficult to communicate and express based on my point of view with hairdressers sometimes, but not Nancy. She listened what I want with great patience and furthermore she made great suggestions. After one year, she is still the only professional I consider for my hair treatment. She also speaks English and Chinese! So convenient! I am so lucky to find someone like her to take care of me! Thanks Nancy!!!

I’m a 28 year old guy, been getting my hair cut by Nancy for a few years now after a female friend found her on google and steered me in her direction. I’d been trying all kinds of different stylists and have stayed with Nancy because, quite frankly, she’s just the best.
I’m clueless when it comes to describing a good hair style to a stylist, but she nailed it anyway. It always comes out looking great and I get compliments on dates, which pretty much sums up what you’d want in a haircut. She’s also super friendly, always finds time to squeeze me in for an appointment, and serves you tea to boot. Her studio is always clean and professional, you’ll know you’re in the right place as soon as you get there.
Bottom line – Nancy is the best. If you need a good cut give her a call, you won’t regret it.

Love, love, love Nancy! She’s talented and has a good eye for style. She pushes me to be more stylish and I love the results. Thank you, Nancy!

Nancy was able to fit me in last minute. I was thankful that she was so accommodating. She saw that I had a cast so I told her I needed a hair cut that was very low maintenance. Basically, after showering, my hair should look okay enough to go out in public. She asked how short I wanted it and I told her past my shoulders because I knew if it was too short, the ends would flip out. She also asked when I had last showered, which was last night so she decided not to wash my hair. Initially the haircut looked okay after she blow dried it out. But after showering at home, I realized she layered it very short and the ends flip out so much. I have to straighten or blow dry it for my hair to look presentable but I’m unable to because I only have one usable hand! You know a hair cut is bad when you have to tie it every time you go out in public. That haircut, which took about 15 minutes, and no hair wash was not worth the $ 35 she charged.

Nancy is such an amazing hair stylist! She does cut and color very well and I’ve always gotten may hair complimented on ever since I started going they my hair done with Nancy. Her studio is clean, comfortable and chic. It feels very welcoming and I feel like getting pampered every time I visited Nancy. Highly recommend!

I totally love Nancy!!! I have been coming to Nancy for five years +. I started coming to Nancy when I was single. I had terrible hair. It was ruined by another hair dresser. She provided hair treatments and my hair started to shine again. Then I started having Japanese hair straightening and it just looks awesome! And it is just soooooo easy to handle now since I don’t need to blow dry anymore. Then I got married and now my entire family come to Nancy: my husband, my boy. They all love Nancy. She is nice and funny. She knows what to do with all types of hairs. I just got my color and highlight done and totally love it!!!

When I moved Irvine earlier this year, I realized I couldnt go to my barber I’ve been going to for 5 years in Westminster due to the drive. I was referred to Nancy from a good friend of mine and the rest is history. Nancy keeps it fresh each time I go and changes it up every now and then, which is good since I’ve had the same cut for a long, long, long time. The wifey always approves, which is a plus too. The best part of going to Nancy is when you make an appointment, I’m in and out in less than 20 – 25 min and on my way. Her new place in Tustin is super clean and now there’s some music! Fellas, if you’re in need of a clean fade give Nancy a shot, you won’t regret it!

I just moved to Irvine and was nervous about finding a new stylist. Nancy is a mile walk from my place and she fit me in just an hour and a half after I called. She was efficient, focused and did exactly what I asked for. And her price is so reasonable! She could definitely charge more if she wanted. If I weren’t immediately moving to the Bay Area I would keep going to her. Thanks!!!

Nancy is professional, does a good job and her price is very reasonable.

She gets my color right every time! Got lots of complements… Nancy always tries to accommodate you and her prices are very reasonable!

Nancy is so professional and friendly and she is the most beautiful hair stylist I have ever met. I know her for more than 10 years and she always keep up the good hair design for my family. Two thumbs up!

I found Nancy on Unilocal after a failed haircut/​color at another salon. I read through the reviews and I was skeptical at first because they were ALL positive. However, she is as terrific as all her reviews say she is. She has amazing intuition and incredible skills. She listens to the issues that I am currently having with my hair — I have curly hair, so there are always a lot of issues.
She is VERY reasonably priced and upfront with prices. She also doesn’t push products or additional services, which is nice because it can be awkward when stylists do that.
I am currently relocating out of state, but I might fly back to just get my hair done by her!

I found Nancy on Unilocal.She did a great job with my cut. I went back for a big hair color make over — red ombré– and she did fantastic.

We all know how difficult it is to find a new hairdresser, especially when we move to another, city, state, or country. To cut a long story short, my trusted hairdresser is overseas because I spend half the time flying back and forth. And, since I’m new to Irvine I knew it was going to come time when I couldn’t put off cutting my hair till I went back overseas… so the search began.
I had originally tried another hairdresser in the area, but just wasn’t feeling comfortable that she was so crazy busy that her schedule was upside down both times I went there for a wash and cut… so much so that often times she had to rush me through a cut because there was another client waiting. And, as a result, the quality of the cut suffered. I wasn’t too happy and therefore decided it was time for a change. This was when I came back to Unilocal to start my search once again… and narrowed it down to Nancy who had great reviews, was located so close by to my home that I didn’t need to travel far, and located in a nice quiet little neighborhood strip mall with plenty of parking.
I had called Nancy earlier as I though I’d read that she was by appointment only… she is. A nice bubbly voice answered the phone and I explained that I was a first time called having found her off Unilocal and wanted to make an appointment for a cut and wash. It was around 1pm and she told me that I could come in at 4pm… oh wow… I thought she was going to set me up for an appointment the next day, so was pleasantly surprised. I showed up a bit early, but noticed the salon was pretty busy with other customers, and I had no idea what Nancy looked like, so I just sat myself down and waited. The barber came and asked me if I was there for a cut, so I told him yes, I have an appointment with Nancy. Then he points to Nancy sitting at her station… presumably waiting for me… so, great, we were ready to go.
Nancy first asked me what kind of cut I’d like, so I explained the style I’m used to. By the way, my hairdresser who got me started in this style told me always to ask for «Short and Textured» and the hairdresser will know what to do. Nancy gave me the option of using scissors or clippers, so I mentioned that I was used to clippers on the sides and scissor cut on the top. Off she went for a hair wash… whcih was quick, and then back to the seat and she clipped away. I was thinking to myself… hmmm…it’s starting out a bit short already. Then she asks me…“is this too short?”…eeeerm, I figured it was a little shorter than I’m used to, but oh well, too late now, so I told her that’s fine.
When she was done, I thought… hey, this actually wasn’t too bad! It was actually a nice clean cut all round, close to what I wanted, and definitely much better than the rushed cut job I had 3 weeks back. I also enjoyed the cut as Nancy seemed like a nice and friendly person and we chatted a bit about different things… it was nice to get to know more about the person who you’re entrusting your hair to :)
One last rinse after the cut, a dab of hair clay to style up, and I was ready to go. As I stood up, it occurred to me that we never even discussed what the wash and cut costs. So I told Nancy this and she replied, $xx only… I thought I’d heard wrongly and looked up at her for a second in disbelief… as I thought it was going to cost almost double!!! But she jokingly replied…“cheap huh?” …I gave her a big smile and a tip of more than 20% as I thought she was definitely worth it!
See ya again in 3 weeks Nancy! :)

I found Nancy from Unilocal because of her great reviews. she is very good at what she is doing. I had a lot of gray because I am so allergic to any hair colors and have not had time to find a hair salon with the right kind of hair color that I am not allergic. (i am new to the area). so I bought a hair piece to cover it up. she did a wonderful job to color and highligh my hair today. I had not done any highlights for many years because my husband hated it when I did it first time. but this time even my husband likes my highlights and she is right _​_​I think I can have a little more highlights next time. Nancy is my husband approved hair dresser. I am hoping that I am not allergic to the new hair color. so I always look this great! yes, I never thought my hair can look so good until Nancy did the color! thank you!!!

First time here today, I never liked my hair style and color this much. Will definitely come back. Thanks Nancy!

Nancy is the best! I am never disappointed with the style she gives me. I have curly/​fluffy hair (not the easiest to handle) and she knows just how to shape it. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been with my hair. On top of this she is also very reasonably priced! Try her out and you won’t be disappointed.

I’ve been going to Nancy to cut my hair for the last several years and there is a reason why. Nancy is a well trained stylist and continues to take workshop at Toni and Guy to keep current on styles and trends. She does a great job and is very well priced. If you have a specific hair style in mind bring a photo and Nancy will deliver. She styled my hair long exactly like a photo I showed her. If you want something different and leave it to her you won’t be disappointed. I wanted my hair short and Nancy suggested a style that would work best for my face and hair and I loved the outcome! My brother, fiancé, and friend have been going to her for quite some time and continue to go to her. Even my 2 year old nephew gets his hair cut by Nancy and he has the cutest little faux hawk now! I highly recommend Nancy to anyone young or old looking for a new stylist.

I left a message and received a call back in 15 minutes and an appointment in an hour. She even texted a confirmation. She was AWESOME! Knew what she was doing and gave a discount since I donated 14 inches to locks of love. My hair looks amazing and I will be back next time without fail!

Tried calling Kija Hair Salon to schedule an appointment since it was by appointment only for Sundays. No luck. I found Nancy’s number and called her. However, no answer. Oh well… I thought. Within 5 minutes, she called me back to schedule an appointment and provided me with a price of $ 35 for shampoo, haircut, and blow dry. I felt happy since I was very unhappy with my earlier cut that I got the day before.
Got to my appointment and was greeted by Nancy — boy, was she nice. She talked to me about how she trained at Toni&Guy Academy and even worked there for 6 years before she decided to venture off on her own. She wanted to specialize in many different things with hair but over there, you have to stick to one speciality — no cross training.
Before starting on my hair, she asked me what I wanted and if I had a style in mind (which I did!). I explained to her that I wanted layers (but not layers that would stick out funny), and for her not to cut my bangs. I had prior experience with other hair stylists who would cut my bangs way too thick (I am a thin bangs type of girl). She layered my hair the way I like and kept checking up on me to see if I liked the look so far. At that point, I was sold and I asked her if she could touch up my bangs a bit since I cut them myself yesterday and I am no expert. She did and it looks great!
Overall, I had a wonderful experience, was done in less than 40 minutes, and am pleased to have found such a great hairstylist on Unilocal.Thanks, Nancy! i will be back in a few months.
P. S. Nancy is basically appointment only!
