Homeless discrimination. I walked in and she gave me a scared look, I explained I was there for a haircut and she said she was busy. There was no line, no one in front of me at first. And I watched cuz this happens a lot. She wasn't working on anyone, the lady she was with was finishing up. Half an hour or so later a woman and girl walked in. I figured she went by appt. Just in case I recorded the conversation. I asked her if I can schedule an appt. It took her a while but then she said she was busy all day and tomorrow. And every time I asked about availability, it took her a while to respond. She said she was busy today and tomorrow after I asked about an appt. Earlier, she didn't even mention she was busy the next day. And in the half hour she had no customers she could've done my hair. I even asked about Tuesday and she cut me off saying to just go to another salon. The kind of look she gave me and the way she came up with a new reason to not be able to cut my hair is something I've only experienced recently, since becoming homeless. I ended up going to another salon and they greeted me and were very polite. The man who cut my hair made the effort to talk to me and made sure he did my hair right, asked things like if I was from the area or where i lived. Stuff like that is always awesome, making me feel like a person. Plus they gave me complimentary water. Don't go to Bella Ciao, go to The Salon by Lori.

I went to this hair salon for the first time after reading positive reviews. I asked for Angela (Thu), and she gave me an appointment at 5 on a weekday. When I walked in, there were not many other customers but she was really sweet and friendly. I really like going to Viet salons where they know how to cut and style straight fine hair. I asked for layered cut with curtain bangs and showed her a few pictures. She took her time and gave me the exact cut I wanted! She also curled my hair at the end to match the waves in the picture. It was $35 in total. Definitely pricier than other Vietnamese salons but I felt happy with the result! Just a note- they do speak primarily Vietnamese here!

I have been going to Angela Thu at Ciao Hair Salon for 7-8 years and always feel like a million dollar when I walk out of her salon. She is the best at what she does and most trusted hairdresser. She is so versatile in hair styling and an amazing make up artist as well. She always make me look beautiful when I have an event to go to. Best of all, her services don’t cost an arm and a leg either!

Just wow. I love this place. Cô Thu was my hair stylist and she did exactly what I wanted. I also recently got a cartilage piercing and told her to be careful with my ear and she was so gentle with me. She also gave me recommendations on what to do after in order to get the hairstyle I want. I told her I have to tie up my hair for work so she can get more of an idea how to style my bangs as well. Will always come back here, she's seriously amazing!

I have been coming with Thu for the last 5 years. She is a professional and amazing sweet person. She knows how to make your hair look great. She is always willing to explain and share her tips. She is also very supportive of the style you want and makes it happen. I have enjoyed my time and trusted her every time.

For 2 years I have not cut my hair or gone to salon due to COVID & quarantine & locked down. Finally called my amazing stylist Valerie Van Tran to set appointment. She was not available but squeezed me in & took such great care of me. My hair was horribly dried, lost a lot of hairs due to COVID infection, & unhealthy. I had oil treatment & cut.... Omg my hair is healthy, beautiful, bouncy, soft silk smooth... love love love the volumes. Highly recommend Van. Future appointment- will Come back every 3 weeks for oil treatment

OMG I'm SO HAPPY I found Angela (aka Thu!) Look at my beautiful cut! My hair was long when I walked in and I was nervous to go short again but was sent to Angela by recommendation and she did not disappoint!! She cut my hair EXACTLY how I asked her to and had that intuition of knowing exactly what I wanted. She talked every step of the way and made sure she had it right before she cut- she listened carefully and took her time! I'm ecstatic with my new look and the PRICE WAS UNBELIEVABLE!! I almost fainted! I got the best haircut I've had in years for $30! Yes, I said $30!!! That wasn't a mistake! I'll be coming to Angela from now on- thank you so much Angela

My daughter looked online searching for a top rated Hair Salon in Fountain Valley, performing wedding hairstyles and came across Bella Ciao salon. I called to set an appointment and spoke with Thu who did my hair on the day of my daughter's wedding. I had a fantastic experience with Thu who appeared not only as a technically talented hairstylist but also as a true artist. Thank you, Thu for bringing out the best in my hair and making me feel beautiful.

Had a great experience today with Becky the hairdresser! It was my first time adding color to my hair and she made the experience very comfortable and gave great recommendations. My hair looks so much better than it did when I came in. Love the natural looking hi-lights and loose curls finish. Thank you!!!

this business deserves more love! I came here on a Tuesday at 10 AM, and the ladies were so sweet. I actually tried to give myself a COVID haircut about a month ago, and I seriously needed it fixed. Luckily, Thu was super sweet and understanding and fixed it right up. She gave me tips on how to style my hair on a daily basis and was just very helpful throughout the entire process. I will definitely become a regular starting today!

This is a review for a haircut done by James. I've been going to him for maybe 7 years now, ever since he was at James Salon in Westminster. He is the only person that I trust with my hair and gets the job done well for much cheaper than practically every other placed I've asked about. I gave them a call yesterday around 12:40pm to ask if there was an opening for 3/3:15pm, and they easily scheduled me in. I came in to get a good 5 inches cut off, layered. He starts with a wash (you may decline this if you prefer no wash) and is very thorough and makes sure you're comfortable with a nice scalp massage as well. Then he dries and straightens the hair in sections as he works his magic. I asked him about the salon at the moment as I know COVID has had a tremendous impact on small businesses and he said it was tough being closed for a long time and not having many people come in even now. But from what I was able to observe, everyone in the salon were wearing masks correctly and there was plenty of space for social distancing. I'll continue to come back to support the salon :)
