Hands down this is the best hair salon around. I used to live in Irvine and have been getting my haircut from Nice Hair Salon for almost 20 years. I now live in LA and still get my haircuts from Cece. In fact, I take my kids to get their haircuts here as well. I like to tell people that Cece is the hair whisperer. Everyone who has cut my hair here has been great. Rates, cuts, and hair stylists are all fantastic!

Everyone here has over 10 years experience. They are appointment only and cash only though. Wash is included in the haircut price if necessary but blow dry is an additional charge. Women start at $25 and up and men are $22 as of 2025, January. Before Covid, they were walk-ins, but after Covid, it is now appointment only

I've been going there for years after my husband started and my son followed after. Tina is our stylist and she's great! The owner Cece is vibrant and caring. I have recommended this place to my friends, neighbors and coworkers, and.they all love it.

Today was my first time coming here. Hanna asked a lot of questions to really get to know what I liked and double checked everything, length, amount to cut, and held my hair in a way that showed me what length various parts of it would sit at once she made the cuts. I have really long hair so I’m always quite nervous going to new places and using new hairdressers, but all her questions made me feel much more comfortable. She also asked me before doing things, such as asking if it’s okay to put a product in my hair, how many times I wanted my hair shampooed etc. And my hair came out absolutely phenomenal! I am way more happy with how it turned out than other times where I’ve paid double and triple the price. Thank you Hanna for doing such a good job and being so considerate! Very happy and 100% recommend!!

Hidden gem! Yup! I’m so glad I found this place. Went today for a bob haircut, I already knew what kind of haircut I wanted & my hairdresser Bonnie delivered exactly that. She kept making sure if she’s doing it the way I wanted. She was so thorough, was amazingly fast. To top it off, the place is not very expensive, I’ll be visiting again soon. And I’ll be taking my daughter for her haircut as well.
