Ellie's Secret Salon — Attraction in Irvine

Ellie’s Secret Salon is a hidden gem! I went to a franchise for my very first hair coloring without doing proper research, and it completely ruined my hair and overall look. I was devastated, so I started searching for the best salon in Irvine. Based on recommendations, I decided to try Ellie’s Secret Salon—and that turned out to be the best decision I could have made.

From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The salon itself has such a clean, homely, and relaxing atmosphere that immediately made me feel comfortable. Ellie took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explained the process in detail, and recommended what would work best for my hair type and skin tone. Her expertise and professionalism instantly gave me confidence.

The results were beyond my expectations—they not only corrected the color disaster but also brought incredible shine, depth, and life back to my hair. The products used felt gentle, and the entire process was handled with so much care. What really impressed me was the patience and effort they put into ensuring my hair looked its absolute best, without rushing. I highly recommend this place if you are looking to get your highlights...

Ellie was amazing! I found her on Groupon & she honored the price, it was easy to make an appointment too! I needed a cut ASAP as my hair was falling out in clumps, I just had spent two months in the hospital post-surgery. She took me the next day. About two inches of the end of my hair was dead & frizzy. I told her about my hair falling out & she gave multiple suggestions. I ended up choosing just to go with a cut, but I didn’t know what I wanted, just that I needed my face accentuated better & not to look so unhealthy. She did an A-line cut on me that is super similar to a cut I got a few years ago at Toni & Guy. Longer in the back, with face framing layers in the front. I posted a picture - she curled it afterwards too, which I think I’ll start doing too:) She showed me how to style my hair every day to make my face look narrower. She was quick but thorough, super friendly & it wasn’t uncomfortable with awkward silences like sometimes happens. I’ll definitely be going...

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ellie, and I can't recommend her highly enough! From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a warm smile and a friendly attitude that instantly put me at ease.

Ellie's professionalism was evident throughout the entire process. She took the time to listen to my needs and preferences, ensuring that I felt heard and understood. Her expertise shone through as she made thoughtful suggestions that truly enhanced my vision.

The end result was nothing short of beautiful! I couldn't be happier with how my care turned out. It was clear that Ellie is not only skilled but also passionate about her work.

If you're looking for someone who combines professionalism with a personal touch, Ellie is the one to go to. I will definitely be returning for future services. Thank you, Ellie, for making my experience...
