Rapor Salon and Barber

Was in the market for a new barber and found Sam! The cut turned out great. The salon was awesome. I will be returning!

Amazing that is what describes Caitlin! My hair felt healthy and soft. I gave her and idea of what I wanted and  left it up to her. I love the cut, color, and high lights. I would highly recommend her!. Can't wait to see her in 6 weeks.

I had Sami do my hair and I absolutely LOVED it! My hair was not damaged at all from
It and I have never felt so chic with my highlights lol The whole experience was great!!! So glad I found her! She is the best!!!

Awesome place! Was really happy with my haircut from Sam! I had to go to a wedding the next day and it was so nice having a fresh new haircut.

Tals did an AMAZING job on my hair! My hair has never looked better! I will absolutely be coming back again!

Lacy has been such an amazing stylist. Every time I have an idea of what I want done to my hair, she makes it happen. She not only understands me but makes sure that I love my hair. Her work is truly amazing. Makes me feel beautiful every time!

I've been going to Lacy for the past few years and she kills it every time!! She's amazing with blondes and also does extensions! I can't wait to go back for my wedding hair in October👏🏼🤍

I love seeing Amanda! She’s so personable and kind. She has really helped take care of my hair as it is regrowing after some thyroid issues and pregnancy. She has done a great job with my highlights too. Highly recommend her.

I’ve been a client of Amanda Raney’s for years now. I also take my 11-year-old daughter to see her. She’s an exceptional stylist who excels at cuts, color, blow-dries, and extensions. I love the salon itself is a welcoming and friendly environment.

Rapor is amazing! I’ve been going here for years now and absolutely adore my stylist Ciera. She always gets my blonde just right and remembers the specifics of how I prefer my haircut. Good music is always playing and the aesthetic interior is fab ✨

RA’PÔR is a fantastic NEW salon that is peaceful and a relaxing cool vibe. The receptionist Brooklyn is adorable and professional. Carlie has been my go to stylist for 3 1/2 yrs and is the best. Fantastic hair color and cut. The owner Emily, the owner is s visionary and cares about her client’s experience.

Summer is amazing!! I first went to her in January 2024 after a friend referred her to me when I was trying to find a stylist that I could trust to do a major chop. I’ve been a loyal client to her ever since (I travel 100 miles round trip to this salon because I don’t want to go to anyone else!) She will take the time to really listen to what you want and will do everything she can to make your hair dreams come true. I leave her chair so confident and in love with my hair every time. She is also just sweetest person to talk with and I just adore her. You won’t regret an appointment with Summer 💖

Officially a huge fan after getting my hair done last week at Ra’por! I was looking for a stylist who could do a good cherry cola/deep burgundy tone and I’m sooo happy I found Summer! She absolutely nailed the cut and color 🍒❤️ and exceeded my expectations. Loved the whole vibe of the salon too, 10/10 experience.

Rapor has a rad vibe, easy location, and great artists at their craft! I see Summer and will continue to recommend her to everyone I know! 10/10, check her out if you stop by!

I recently moved to the area and it’s so hard trying to find new hair place again. I called in the morning and was so happy Ra’por could fit me in - I got my roots done and a trim before my wedding. It looks amazing. Cristina was so wonderful and did such a good job. I’ve found my new hair salon!

Danielle is the best hair stylist I’ve ever been to. I travel from SF and Park City just to have my hair done by her.

Cristina is an artist when it comes to color - there’s no one I trust more to do my balayage. I’ve gone to her for years and her attention to detail is unsurpassed. She genuinely cares about her clients and gives good life advice - a nice bonus.

I have been a long-time customer of Emily (almost 20 years!). I love Ra’por Salon and the amazing service I get every time I go!

Laura, is amazing!  she makes my hair look like a model’s.  Always listens to what I want gives me great suggestions to help me.

Fantastic barber and haircuts, you pay for the quality but it’s worth it

Amazing quality hair cut and color in a relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff. I look forward to going there every time.. such a treat!

Amazing service!! I love the salon decor and vibe!! I will definitely be back

Go see Nate. He’s the most experienced Barber, he takes his time and pays close attention to detail. If you tell him what you want, that’s exactly what you’ll get. No surprises.

Really nice location with great staff. Nate has been my barber for a while and I won’t go to anyone else.

Love it here! People were nice and did a great job with my hair.

Just make an appointment and you will see for yourself how talent Emily is! She made my frizzy curly hair look silky and amazing! The color is exactly what I wanted! Thank you for making me look beautiful Emily!

Lacy did a great job fixing the highlight and cut mistakes of the stylist I saw before her. I’m so glad I finally found someone who I will definitely see again and again.

Rebecca was amazing! She knew what I wanted even when it was hard to explain it. She gave me really good recommendations & kept me great company for 4 hours! She is my new hair gal and I don’t wait to come back. She truly worked her magic in my years of boxed dye hair! She is such a light & a true artist! Not to mention the vibe of the salon is so rad and they are so professional and hospitable.

This salon will forever have my heart and business. Daniela absolutely executed every single request and vision I had for my hair and now I’ve never felt more confident. I’m so thankful to have found this salon and I can’t wait for my next appointment!

My experience at Rapor was great! Tals really listened to what I wanted and gave me get options to really get the haircut I wanted. will be coming back for my next cut

This place got a sweet vibe. Daniela is a gangster with the clips. 10/10 warning: you will become hotter.

Sam takes her time to learn about your hair/lifestyle and does an excellent job giving you the best cut for you. I will be going back!

10/10 - Sam is amazing! Perfect cut for my first experience. Also, the salon is massive and has a very nice, modern and welcoming design. My new go-to!

Sam is great. She really listens to what I’m looking for and takes time to understand the cut I need and what works for my hair type!

Sam! Thank you for the great cut! I appreciate you being friendly and for also working with me to get cleaned up. I'm looking to my next haircut with you.

Came in for a beard trim and left very happy! Was well taken care of by the crew, Sam is the best!

Lacy is absolutely amazing! She has done both cuts and color on my hair, and every single time I walk out of the salon completely in love with it. She really knows how to work with blondes; my color always turns out bright, natural, and beautiful. She also gives amazing advice on products that specialize in repair. Not only is she talented, but she also makes the whole experience comfortable and fun. I always feel confident and refreshed after seeing her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist who truly knows her craft!

Talia has always made me feel like my best  and most confident self with my color and cut always. I travel from Fallbrook to come see her and I always will!

Sami at rapor salon is amazing! She nailed my hair color and made the whole experience so fun and easy. I’m obsessed with the results—highly recommend her! She’s incredibly talented, detail-oriented, and truly cares about making sure you love your hair

Lacy saved my hair! I tried to save some money and had a friend help me out with my hair… big mistake (lol). Desperate to fix the mess, I got in touch with Lacy at Rapor Salon. Now I’m rocking a bob for the summer! She does color, highlights, balayage, hair cuts! check out her ig @lacykshair

Every time I visit Amanda at Rapor Salon I leave feeling beautiful and refreshed. I’ve been getting my hair done by her for several years and I can tell you without a doubt that she is one of the best hairstylists out there! I absolutely love my recent cut and color by her. After letting my hair grow out I decided it was time for a major chop and Amanda gave me the most perfect bob I could’ve asked for. Thank you, Amanda!

Amanda does such an amazing job at color! I’m naturally a dirty blonde but love going blonder, and she’s able to make it look natural with an amazing grow up. She always knows what haircut to do based on my hair type / maintenance routine. The salon is super cute, everyone is really friendly, and it’s very clean!

Lacy is the best! 3 years of only going to her, she does my blonde perfectly everytime!

Sam is the best and an overall great experience and great haircut

I had a wonderful experience with Alexis! She was incredibly thoughtful and took the time to ask detailed questions about what I was looking for in my haircut. Her attention to detail and care made me feel truly heard. Alexis handled my curly hair beautifully—something that’s not always easy to find—and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist who listens and delivers with skill and kindness!

Got my hair cut and beard trimmed by Sam and she did an excellent job! She’s so reasonably priced, a chill conversationalist and best of all, great at her job. I walked out with exactly the haircut I wanted. Book her while you can!

Sam is amazing! She truly understands curly hair and got mine looking absolutely perfect. She took her time, listened to what I wanted, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. I left feeling confident and loving my curls more than ever. Highly recommend her!

Sam was awesome! She listened to me and understood exactly what it was I was looking for. I’ll be going back to her for sure.

Sam Ellison is the best barber! Always friendly, professional, and gives a great cut every time. She really listens to what you want and makes sure you walk out looking sharp. Highly recommend!

Sam rocks! She’s given me some of the best cuts I’ve had in years and is great to talk to. The vibes at Ra’por are top notch as well. Highly recommend!

Sam is amazing. She is very skilled with the shears and always detail oriented. She is generous with her time and always greets me with a smile.  I’ve been in her chair numerous times in the last year and I always leave feeling great. Thank you Sam!!

Sam is the best! I have been going here for about a year now and always leave feeling like I got a great cut.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Summer! She is truly a gem — incredibly talented, professional, and has the most amazing attention to detail. Over the years, Summer has completely transformed my hair and my confidence. Her ability to understand what works best for me and bring it to life is unmatched. I always leave her chair feeling like the best version of myself. Not only is she a phenomenal stylist, but she’s also such a kind and lovely person. I just adore her and feel so lucky to have found her!

I recently moved to California, and stumbled upon Daniela’s trendy insta. Next thing I knew I had the best haircut of my life, and the vibes of the salon are literally everything. So thankful for Daniela and the amazing staff!!!!

Loved my hair after seeing Daniela! I came in asking for some much needed dimension to my naturally dark hair, and she delivered. My hair feels so healthy after the cut and color. Highly recommend!

Daniela recently turned me a redhead!! I was extremely nervous but I could tell she knew exactly what I wanted. I am so happy with the results I can’t wait to make my next appointment and take it to another level. Highly recommend Daniela for hair color

Daniella has been cutting my hair for years - wouldn’t trust anyone else with it. 5 stars every time. Highly recommend this girl

Daniela is amazing!! She gave me the bangs I have always dreamed of and I will be a forever client!

Lacy saved my hair!! Someone cut a SHELF as a layer. I was so distraught and wsnt sure how to fix it. Thankfully she kept as much length as possible while still giving me a good style. The salon was clean and i was asked multiple times if i wanted a drink. Cant wait to come back. Highly recommend

Great salon with friendly staff and top-notch service. My wife’s hair color turned out amazing—she loved it, and so did I. Highly recommend!

Stylish atmosphere, and SUPER friendly staff! Greeted right away with a smile which is rare at a lot of salons! Lacy is my stylist and she's the BEST. SUPER talented, friendly and accommodating..she's a delight to chat with and super talented! Highly recommend this salon, and Lacy!

I have been going to Summer for years and always leave so happy with my hair . She really knows how to keep my blonde bright and cuts it just how I like it . 10/10 recommend Summer !

I recently moved to Costa Mesa and was a little overwhelmed trying to find the right-fit stylist that wasn’t crazy expensive. I found Ra’por on Instagram and have been there twice now and really love it. Lacey is wonderful! Very diligent, skilled with my color and so sweet. Plus she gives a great scalp massage!!

Lacy has been doing my hair foreverrr and never fails to kill it every single time. ill never stop going to her.

I was pleasantly surprised walking into Ra’por salon! They’ve turned the space into such a rad welcoming salon. I was immediately greeted by one of the stylists asking who I was there for. Lacy did a great job at listening to what I wanted and asked for inspo pics. I was thankful she explained what it would cost and why. We found a way to meet my budget needs. Rapors wash bowls are SO much more comfortable than any salon I’ve been to. The cut and color were exactly what I wanted. I often get compliments of my “natural” blonde hair- and it’s all thanks to Lacy! So stoked I found my new salon.

SUMMER IS A DREAAM!! Has been taking care of me for years would fly to see her !!!

Gray / Grey Transition Nailed! With Photo! Emily and Rapor Staff = you all ROCK!!!

Here’s how it went down:

1. I’m a dark brown brunette with a lot of gray in my crown and temple areas.

2. 6-7 months and 2x’s at the salon (only 2.5 hours each time in the chair)

3. Wa-La!!!! Seriously perfect gray to brown ratio matching my roots exactly without any hair breakage! Emily is the best color artist in Southern California!!!!!

Lacy is the BEST. She always is doing exactly what I ask for and more. She always takes me step by step through my appointment. Lacy is someone you can just sit and talk to through your entire appointment which is what I love about her. Even when I moved to florida, I would make a trip back just for her to do my hair!! She’s amazing!

Summer is pure magic!! Her creative eye and artistic touch make every appointment feel like a transformation, and her fun, radiant energy makes the whole experience an absolute blast. I’m always smiling and laughing when I’m in her chair! She’s taken my hair from long to a bob, then guided it back to length through each stage. She gave me the most flattering cuts and glosses during my wedding prep, styled me so beautifully on my wedding day, and now we’re diving into color! She’s truly been there for some of the most meaningful moments in my life, adding her magic to each one. Every visit is so much fun!
PS: Every day is Summer when you have Summer in your life! 100% book with Summer you’ll walk out glowing from the hair and her infectious energy!!! 🌞🌞

Lacy is an amazing stylist!! She was able to bring my vision to life and I can’t wait for our next appointment!

I’ve been loyal to Lacy since 2023, and there’s a reason I keep going back—she’s simply the best. She gave me the most gorgeous balayage—so blended and dimensional. She’s super sweet, professional, and genuinely cares about making sure you leave loving your hair. I love that she takes her time and pays attention to every detail. Every visit feels like catching up with a friend while also getting pampered.  Definitely recommend booking with her! Thank you Lacy!💖

For any number of reasons I would recommend Summer  because she really is the best! In the last 10 years I have not been disappointed with her work once. In recent years I’ve switched up my color quite a bit and it always looks and feels amazing! In addition to being the best stylist she is just an awesome person, there’s never a dull moment in her chair!

Lacy has both styled and cut my hair, and I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who truly personalizes every style and cut to perfectly suit your face, Lacy is the one. She did my hair for my wedding, and I’ll forever be grateful for how absolutely beautiful she made me feel. She’s also cut my hair—bangs and all—and given me a Brazilian blowout, and each time, she’s gone above and beyond to make sure I felt stunning. Lacy has such an incredible gift, but what sets her apart is her genuine passion for listening to her clients and delivering thoughtful, personalized results. She’s truly the best.

Daniela is a gem stylist! She did the perfect highlights in spring with a trim and today she added some low lights and face framing highlights. She is a very talented stylist and I would highly recommend her.

I’ve been going to Summer for over 10 years, and she’s truly the best. She always listens to what I want, makes thoughtful suggestions, and consistently delivers results I love. On top of that, she’s incredibly kind, personable, and genuinely cares about her clients. I always leave her chair feeling refreshed, inside and out!

I visited Rapor Salon for the second time recently to see my favorite stylist Summer. From the minute you walk into the door, you feel at home! Such a trendy & cool vibe there!

And Summer always makes me feel like I’m the most important person in the world, & her main goal is to make me feel better about myself once she’s done with my hair. The time just flies by because Summer is so friendly & bubbly and I have a great time talking with her! The way she works so quickly & beautifully while still having fun conversations with me just blows me away!
It takes a long time to highlight my hair, yet every single piece turns out perfectly!

Summer also cut my hair exactly how I like it, then styled my hair with some awesome products& gave me gorgeous & bouncy beach waves! I have 2 important events coming up next weekend & thanks to Summer’s artistry with my highlighted hair, I left Rapor Salon feeling beautiful -and ready to celebrate my 69th birthday with a renewed outlook!!
If you want to feel confident & happy with the way your hair looks & makes you feel, I highly recommend you make an appointment with Summer at Rapor Salon in Costa Mesa ASAP!

I used to bounce around between stylists/salons because I could never quite get the cut or color I was going for.  Summer has totally changed that and now I finally feel like my color and cut are dialed in!  She really understands how to take inspo pics and make it happen on you.

Also worth noting - my hair is extremely thick and naturally curly.  Not all stylists are comfortable with that, but Summer 100% nails it. I get compliments on my hair color even months after we do it.

She’s also super up to date on trends and techniques and has an eye for what looks good, so I know I can always trust her input/opinion.  Thank you Summer!!!  PIC IS SEVERAL MONTHS grown out and as you can see, still looks amazing!!

I have to been coming rapor since they opened and I have been extremely happy and pleased, they have been a god sent. My natural curly hair used to be so hard to work with, but they have helped me make it very manageable. Not to mention the staff have become like family over the years. I highly recommend.

Summer is the absolute best!! I’ve been seeing her for almost 10 years at this point and she slays every single time!!! From blonde to red back to blonde, long or short cuts and even wedding hair, she’s done it all for me. She is also such a fun gal to hang with while you’re getting your hair done, so welcoming and chill!!! 10/10 recommend always!!!

Also the salon in general is super cute!! Very beachy Costa Mesa cool girl vibes but also very warm and welcoming

Summer has been battling my hair for a long time… My hair is thick, curly and generally speaking, out of control under the humidity (the perks of being Middle Eastern and Italian I guess). Summer is one of the only people who can temper my hair to perfect, shiny, illustrious waves. I’ve gone through lots of phases but Summer has never let me do something that I can’t recreate at home. She has talked me out of bangs on multiple occasions (fr, I have no damn business with them on my head).

Summer’s creativity on me has included green undercolor, blonde bottoms, money pieces, layers and blunts. My ethereal wedding hair and my divorce revenge hair.

And you should see her color someone red!

Daniela always works her magic on my hair—she transforms it into the most beautiful blonde! She blended my breakage seamlessly with her haircutting skills, and the result looks amazing. The receptionists are always kind and responsive, which makes every visit a great experience.

I love Amanda! She’s is so talented and lovely to be around. My hair loves her too! XO

From the moment I sat in Zoe’s chair, I felt completely comfortable & at ease. She took the time to really listen to my hair goals & concerns, and offered suggestions that felt totally on-brand for me. Even though it was my 1st time seeing her, I felt like I could fully trust her with my cut, & I’m so glad I did! I absolutely love it, it’s exactly what I envisioned. Zoe truly nailed it! I left feeling confident, refreshed, and excited to show off my new look. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who’s not only talented but also genuinely cares about making you feel your best!

Lacy does my hair and seriously nails my vision every time! She’s super talented, and I always leave feeling so content. The salon is also super cute and has the best vibes. 10/10 recommend!

Such a Lovely salon! Everyone is very kind and helpful. They offered me water and coffee when I sat down. Lacy is the best! She's really thorough and listens to what you want. She got my hair exactly how I imagined it! Definitely Recommended:))

First of all this is the cutest salon I’ve been in! I got my hair cut and colored with Brooklyn and it was the best experience ever. She’s so kind and listened to exactly what I wanted and it came out perfect, I’m so happy 🥰

The absolute best salon ever!! Every staff member so friendly and attentive. Ciera has been doing my hair for a while now and i will never go to someone else she makes all my ideas reality. So glad i found this place

Daniela had me feeling like a million bucks walking out of the salon. I’ve never gotten so many compliments from strangers for my hair! I sent her this video of me in shock with my 4th day air-dried hair, felt wrong not to include my raw reaction in this review (censored my profanity to keep it professional). Daniela’s a hair wizard, couldn’t recommend her more. Everybody I talked to in the salon was super sweet as well :-)

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

If I could rank Summer more than 5 stars I would.✨ I started seeing Summer in 2021 and I’m SO happy to say that I found my forever hair dresser. Not only is she the most talented hair stylist & colorist out there but she’s always such a fun time!! It truly feels like you’re going to hangout with a best friend when getting your hair done with Summer. I leave Rapor every time with a huge confidence boost all thanks to Summer’s artistry. I couldn’t recommend her enough!! 🩷

My experience at Rapor was amazing! It was my first time getting extensions and I was a little nervous. Amanda helped me understand how to style and care for them. She really made the experience easy and fun! I’m OBSESSED with my hair!!! If you get a chance to come here ask for AMANDA 🩷

thank you!

Amazing salon and the best part about it is Amanda Raney!!!!! She is an unbelievable stylist, cutter and colorist! Very detail oriented and professional and so very lovely! The salon has a great vibe and everybody is super friendly. I highly recommend! 5 stars! 🤩

Grisell never fails to make my hair look amazing!

It is definitely worth coming back even after moving to the I.E. bc I always feel very well taken care of. The staff is very welcoming and extremely talented at what they do.

I allowed my hair to grow out as much as it did since the last time I visited Rapor Salon and Barber, and, as you can see in the first two photos, my hair still looked very nice. Thank you, Zoe!

The Balayage shown in the second photo at the Angels baseball game was the fabulous result of today’s visit with Grisell. She asked all the right questions to see my vision and achieved a masterpiece.

10 out of 10! I highly recommend this salon and barber!

Thanks again, ladies!

If you want a dope-ass environment, a fly cut, and to catch up on Magic School Bus reruns while you’re at it—look no further.

I’ve been getting my hair did by the wonderful Sam for the better part of a year, and let me tell you… when I walk in the door at home, my wife can’t keep her hands off me. That’s the Sam effect. Not only is she insanely good at what she does, but the vibe is always on point—great conversation, chill energy, and just an all-around rad human.

If that’s not a five-star barber, I don’t know what is. (Actually, shut up—you know it is.)
