I got a balayage done by Sami and I love it! I have not had any color other than root touch ups in almost 5 years and was looking for some dimension and brightness to my black, dull hair. She did an amazing job and I love it more everyday! It even looks good with my natural curly hair. To make it even better, Sami was so sweet and so attentive. So happy and highly recommend!!!

I had been looking for a stylist ever since I moved to Orange County in 2020 and hadn’t found anyone who I thought was a “keeper.” I was looking for someone with whom I had excellent rapport, who listened to my concerns, who helped me learn/try new products and styles, who would make suggestions based on their expertise, but also someone who wouldn’t push me. Admittedly, I am a hair scaredy-cat…I never learned how to style my hair when I was younger and it just stuck. A mutual friend recommended Shawna in 2023 and I have never looked back! My first appointment (and every appointment after), we spent the first 10 minutes or so discussing why I made the appointment and what I am looking to do with my hair. She always listens intently and asks follow-up questions – we won’t move on until she has a clear understanding of the objective for the appointment. From there, every experience has been a dream – she is an expert at the wash (never soapy water on my forehead or ears and soooo relaxing), the cut, and style. I have very fine hair, so she cuts most of my hair wet and finishes dry with a fun style. Shawna has recommended several products over the years and most of them are now in my vanity. She has shown me how to branch out with my hair and style in ways I never thought I could! I can now do my own beachy waves, blow outs, and basic (but polished) updos. Trust me – that is HUGE progress for a girl like me. I just love going to see her and catching up with her every few months and I always walk out feeling like $1M!! For those ladies that are looking for color, extensions, or more involved styling – Shawna is your lady! She genuinely loves what she does and is always telling me about new seminars and classes she is taking to polish her skill set and keep up with the latest curriculum. Check out her IG @ShawnaFayHair if you want to review her work. I’m not ready for extensions, but we talk about them whenever I bring them up. She always gives me all the information I’m looking for (plus some). Shawna is the extension queen! She is obsessed with them and is probably the most knowledgeable stylist on every color of the extension rainbow (so to speak). I have recommended a few friends to her and they are now in permanent rotation. I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for something/someone new, do yourself a favor and see Shawna. You won’t regret it!

Everyone at Ra Por Salon is so nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. It is always a friendly and relaxing environment when I come to get my hair done. Caitlin Rynearson is my hair stylist at Ra Por Salon and I could not recommend her more. She has been doing my hair for over 10 years now and my hair is so healthy because of her knowledge of blondes! Aside from her top-notch skills, she is also such a sweet and genuine person that I always look forward to spending time with while at the salon. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Patrick is hands down the best extension + color stylist I’ve ever been to in Orange County. Literally nobody else compares. He always goes above and beyond, actually cares about getting your hair perfect, and will actually give you a great timeline and what to expect, not just “ohh we will try to get you there next time,” over and over again like I’ve experienced in the past… I fully trust him with everything — color, extension installs, cuts, blowouts, literally anything and my hair always come out looking insane in the best way when I leave his chair. He listens, he’s honest, and he knows exactly what he’s doing. If you’re even thinking about extensions or color, don’t walk, literally sprint to Patrick at rapor salon. 1000/10 every single time

Sam is fantastic. Just moved to the area and wa looking for a great place to get a men’s haircut without the aggro vibe that a lot of places have. Went to Rapor and was lucky enough to have Sam cut my hair. She gave me a perfect cut and was fun to chat with as well. The Salon itself is bright and open with a chill SoCal vibe. I’ll definitely be going back.

Rapor Salon is so chic & cute! Inside is very clean and everyone is so friendly. Summer is my stylist / hair GOD! I’ve been going to Summer for years now and I’ve never had a hairstylist get my hair inspo correct- until her!! We started with a blonde balayage, to dark brown, to cherry red, to cowboy copper, back to cherry red- she really can do it ALL. My hair has never been in better condition.The amount of compliments I get after seeing her is endless!! Summer is also so sweet & fun to be around. I cannot recommend Summer or this salon enough
