MEA Hair & Make

Ed was my hairstylist and did an amazing job on my hair! Feels healthy and love the sombre, I just wish my hair can grow fast haha! Don’t use the 10% check in, it was created by Unilocal and not the salon, so there’s no discount.

This review is for Janelle C. I mean, what a delight she is. She knows her stuff, has knowledge and a great vision of what would look lavishing on you. Once you go and specify what it is that you would like to have done, she masters it completely. For the first time in a long time, she actually made me feel like the «real» Heather again. I am so jazzed and tickled, not to mention, I am extremely grateful for my client and friend Alyson whom had referred me to this lovely lady. Not only Is she swell to be with but her work is outstanding. I highly recommend her.

Claire has been cutting my hair for over a year and she always does an awesome job. It is so great that I can go in sit down and know I’m going to get a great haircut. So I can sit back relax and let her do her magic. Always a great experience!

Visited Michelle popp to get bangs (something I’ve never done before) and I Loved themmmm!!! Michelle is awesome. And the studio is so nice and very relaxed. The workers are very nice and not stubborn like a lot of other salons. Thank you for the great experience. !

It’s amazing place ever… Great staffs and great customer services. Definitely come back here…

I followed my colorist as he ventured off on his own n continue having him color my hair. Thanks Edwin!

I was looking to get a straight edge shave and found this review on Unilocal.
Go here, no where else. Edwin does an amazing job. The whole process took about an hour, well worth every penny.
$ 30.00 for the experience, lots of warm lather, warm towels for your face, etc.
Ed took his time, he wasn’t in a rush, you could definitely feel the quality in what he did.

This review is for Claire, who is amazing. I’ve been going to her for a while now and I just now got around to writing a review! I’d recommend her for cut and color, and especially for people with light/​fine/​blonde hair.
Claire has cut my hair a few times, and the last time I saw her she blended my almost grown-​out highlights into my natural color. It looks totally natural, which is what I needed because «platinum,» «stripes,» or super-​obvious ombré wouldn’t work with my job. Her cuts are also great, I never worry about nightmare-​short bangs or bad layering.
Also, her prices are very reasonable, but the last place I went was in DC so I might be biased there.
Overall, she’s fantastic. I’d highly recommend!

Esthetician Jamie Michelle is fabulous! I have been going to her for facials and I will keep on coming back! I have been struggling with acne (cystic, blackheads, the whole shebang…) for about a year, going to a dermatologist, buying tons of different products, using prescription medications (topical and oral) and the only thing that is working are my religious visits to Jamie! She is very knowledgeable and takes the time to find the perfect regimen for your skin type. I also love that she uses Epicuren products! Taking care of my skin is an investment so 90% of my results go into what I do at home BUT without Jamie’s tips, expertise, and amazing skincare I would definitely still be clueless about what to do with my acne.
Thanks Jamie!!! :)

Claire is the best!!! I’ve been going to her for my cut and highlights and color for almost 2 years now!!! She’s not only a very talented hair stylist, she’s incredibly awesome too!!!

This review is for Michelle Popp, a.k.a. the most amazing stylist ever! My roommate and I come to her for both cut and color all the time, and we never leave disappointed. We’re both fickle and indecisive, and she always knows what will look great.
The salon itself is awesome. Super trendy and relaxed, not uptight and pretentious like other salons can be. It can be a little hard to find, but as long as you know it’s on top of a Subway, you’ll find it no problem.

Janelle has beet cutting my hair for many years, and on a few occasions, she’s done both my hair and makeup for special events. I’ve followed her to Mea Salon, which is a ways from my house, but I don’t want to go to anyone else. She’s great at understanding what I’m asking for. Whenever I’ve shown her pictures of a new haircut, style, or makeup look, she gets it right on. I trust her, and she’s very talented. Highly recommended!

Claire is amazing… I trust her with my hair and she has talked me through a couple of bad hair decisions!

Michelle Popp is an amazingly talented stylist… wouldn’t go anywhere else! She’s been doing my hair for 2 years and I’ve always left with a great cut! Michelle did my hair for my step-daughter’s wedding and I could not have been more pleased. She’s down to earth, listens to what I want and has me leaving feeling beautiful every time!

Love my hair stylist Janelle at MEA. I’ve trusted her with my hair for nearly ten years now. She’s amazing! I have thick, stubborn, heavy hair and she tames it every visit. She’s done my hair for my engagement shoot, wedding, baby shower, family shoots. She’s even amazing at cutting my daughter’s hair and keeping her from squirming (my daughter has had her hair cut here since she was 2). I’ve referred clients to her and everyone has been thrilled. She’s also an amazing makeup artist. My eyes are really difficult to do well because I have a Monolid and very high eye brows. I love Janelle!
My husband goes to Edwin who is a great barber! He’s been going to him for over 5 years and gets a pompadour. Edwin has these super cool retro barber chairs. He does an amazing straight razor shave and hot towel treatment. If I’m not mistaken, the hair cut is finished with a little bit of a massage from a retro massager.
The salon is comfortable and stylish. It is easily the rommiest salon in OC. Since the stations aren’t crammed together like a tuna can, you can actually relax. The noise level is significantly lower than at other establishments. It’s more of a therapeutic hum than a jet engine. You won’t find 6 hair dryers blowing simultaneously within 3 feet of you.
They’re located in a large shopping center so I have never had difficulty parking. I usually aim to arrive 10 minutes early to snag an iced tea from the Starbucks in the same shopping plaza. My daughter snags a hot cocoa from MEA. She usually gets a little treat too.

Jamie Michele is the best aesthetician! She has been helping me with hyper pigmentation for years and with her help my skin is looking better than ever! I totally trust her advice and have seen great results from putting my trust in her knowledge of skin care! Give her a try you won’t be disappointed!

After researching makeup artists via Unilocal for my wedding I found that Janelle @ MEA had the best price available. Most of the prices I came across were at least $ 100 each for both consultation and the actual day of makeup. However, Janelle’s competitive price was unbeatable at $ 55 each (consultation & day of) and she includes false eyelashes! I would have gladly paid more for her services!
Janelle was absolutely fabulous from the get go! She was quick in responding to my texts and was extremely friendly. I would highly recommend doing a consultation (trial run) so that on the day of your actual event everything will go super smooth. This helped me out big time b/​c you get to experiment with different colors, styles and blends and see which look is perfect for you! During our initial consultation I told Janelle what kind of look I was going for and from there on out she knew exactly which colors and shades to choose.
On the day of my wedding I was in and out the door within 45 minutes! Janelle perfected my makeup and I have never, ever felt so beautiful. I received so many compliments that day. I I know exactly who I’ll be going to in the future should I ever need my makeup professionally done again.

Super cute salon! I went to Jamie Michelle esthetician and bridal makeup and she was amazing!
Her room is so cute and comfortable and very serene! Everything you want when you’re taking the time to pamper yourself!
She knows skin so well and takes the time to connect with you about products you use and provides a great regimen for your specific skin type no matter what season we are in!
After my facial, my skin was amazing and has been glowing for weeks! I’m so thankful I found someone who I can trust!

This review is for Jamie Michele the esthetician. I have had the pleasure of experiencing her fabulous facials and expert makeup artistry skills. You can tell she is really passionate about her work, and loves what she does.
Jamie is a great listener too, and strives to please. Her kindness and gentleness is much appreciated when she has a spotlight on my skin, and lets me know what’s going on with it. Who likes hearing about their flaws? She puts it in a way that makes you at ease that you’re skin is in her hands. Consistently going to her is helpful as she tracks the progress of your skin, and makes sure to use the products that your skin responds the best to. After using the products at home that she used on me, there is BIG difference in the way my skin feels. You don’t even know what you’re missing out on until you get custom suited products for your skin.
Her facials are soothing, and dreamy. Her room is very comfortable, pretty, open, and clean. Once you have a facial with her you’ll be hooked. She uses top notch products (Epicuren is one of them).
Thank you Jamie for all you do, I would want no one else touching my face.

I love this salon. I drive from LA to come to this salon! I have been coming here for years! Claire is a hair genius! I started going to Claire about 7 years ago and at the time I had severely damaged blonde hair and she brought it back to life in no time. I ended up going Burnett shortly after. My hair handled the transition very well. Claire is so great that my whole family now goes to her and so does my boyfriend and many of my friends. She can literally do anything and she would never let you leave the salon with your hair looking like shit. Claire isn’t just a great hair stylist she is also now a good friend. She always has something fun to talk about and you are never bored! She is very funny and getting your hair done turns into a fun event!
I also started going to see Anastasia for my eye brows and facials. She is freaking fantastic and makes my skin look so amazing. I have always had an issues with getting blemishes and Anastasia has resolved that issue completely. She also switched me to products that are great for my face and the products are not tested on animals which is a huge plus for me. She is sweet and very funny as well! Her and her husband ed own the salon and are seriously great people!
The salon itself is beautiful! They really make sure you are comfortable at all times and will always offer you something to drink (water, wine, beer, coffee, soda)! Which is nice especially if you are sitting under the dryer for a long time! If you have a sweet tooth they also have you covered with little treats. Ed has great taste in music and he is always playing kick ass music. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the same song twice actually.
I could go on and on about this place but I’ll stop and tell you to go check it out for yourself!
