Still going to Brandii 3 years later and would not think of letting anyone else do my hair. Most recently, she worked her magic for my wedding in March and family and friends are still talking about how beautiful I looked and how amazing the hair was. She's so ridiculously talented! And, after 12 years of growing my locs I finally decided it was time to start a new chapter. Brandii worked her black girl magic once again, giving me a cut that I love more than I could have even imagined. This cut is FIRE!!!!! I wake up everyday like this cut is everything #bewhairwhodis LOL I seriously love going to the shop, Brandii is like an old friend now, I look forward to my time in her chair, catching up, talking about life's crazy events, tripping out over some new TV show, or laughing about our Virgo adventures and attitudes LOL!! Brandii is hella dope, a true creative with a beautiful and genuine spirit. I felt I needed to update my review because she's been holding my hair down consistently for the last 3 years and I'm truly grateful to have found her. read more

I walked in over a year ago for a Big Chop and never looked back!! Since then I've returned to get my hair trimmed and even dyed (as you see int he picture) by Brandi. I love the one-on-one attention she gives to each client and how at ease she made me feel during that first visit. For a Black woman, cutting our hair is serious business and I could not be more thrilled with how mine came out. If you're on the fence, trust me Brandi is more than capable of making your natural hair dreams a reality. read more

To put it simply, when it comes to natural hair care, Brandii Holloway is the best kept secret in LA. I've been twice now and it no longer seems fair to keep her all to myself. I have very thick, longish hair and I'm actually tender-headed. This is normally a recipe for disaster and even as an adult I have been known to cry in more than one beautician's chair. Brandii, is professional, courteous, personable and EXTREMELY talented at her craft. I have come to her with something akin to a bird's nest on top of my head and have walked out with a cute, fresh doobie that makes me hold my head a little higher. She is gentle, I'm shocked by how easily she combs out all my tangles and while my styles look tight and freshly done they don't feel tight on my scalp (no headaches or little bumps!). She is very knowledgable about hair care and pays attention to the special needs of my hair type(s). I've been searching for a good stylist for a while and I trust her enough that we're going to start trying out new styles. For me, this is a HUGE step. For the service that she delivers and her skill level her prices are fair. To all my natural heads out there I can recommend Brandii with flying colors and have no doubt that you will leave her shop grinning like a cheshire cat with an extra strut in your step, enjoy! read more

So I tried to make an appointment again with Brandii... called and left messages, texted, emailed, dm'd and no response. Then I realized she doesn't want my business. Point blank period. I would never do all this for any other business! As nice as my first appointment was, I refuse. I found a AVAILABLE experienced loctician in the midcity area who knows how to make her clients feel valued, wanted and beautiful. Send me a message if you need her name/info. read more

You arrrive for your appointment, and your stylist is ready and waiting for you. No one else is waiting in front of you. No one else is waiting behind you. The ambiance is tranquil and serene until it is punctuated by squeals of laughter and joy. Your stylist understands the uniqueness of your hair and chooses individualized hair products that allow it to flourish and grow. You leave with a fabulous hair style that requires you to fend off people from randomly walking up to you and wanting to touch your hair. Nope, that's not a dream. That's 2814 Hair Studio! read more

I had the pleasure of coming here for a natural hair tapered cut. My apt was at 3pm on a Thursday and Brandi was ready on the dot. The quaint salon was perfect. I showed Brandi a pic that I found on Instagram and she went to work. She washed my dirty hair and conditioned it. She recommended products to me that I could use for my dry, fine hair. After she sat me back down she got the cutting and shaping my hair. She then sat me under the dryer for a few minutes. She then coiled my tendrils. After she was finished and showed me the final product I was in love. I had not cut my natural hair in years and was afraid that it would be cut wrong or not frame my face. Brandi put all my anxiety to rest. The cut is so cute and similar to the pic that I showed her. She was still able to make it my own though. I definitely will be coming back on the regular. I will post pics soon read more

I have been natural for 6 years, and Brandii gave me the best haircut I have ever had! Not only was she fast (she finished my cut in 45 minutes), professional, and charming, she was so knowledgable and like an encyclopedia of natural hair advice. She gave me a great styled cut for my curls, and I also got a free lesson about my hair type and product suggestions. She did a wonderful job of following the photo I brought for style reference, and taught me things about my hair that I wish I had known years ago so I wouldn't have to suffer another bad haircut! I love that her appointments are one on one, which creates a calm and relaxing environment. I am so glad I found 2814 studio, and I will definitely be back in the future. read more

I went to Ms. Brandii back in December for a trim and twist out. The results were great!! My hair looked, felt and smelled amazing after my services + stayed moisturized for days! My curls never looked so good! Thank you Brandii for doing an amazing job. Loved the service and personalized attention. Not to mention Brandii also gave me several product recommendations that she said would work well with my curl type. I'll most definitely be back!! read more

I cannot say enough about Ms. Brandii. First of all, her professionalism is untouchable. Brandii takes such pride in her work, as well as her creative space. You will not find a noisy waiting area, lingering clients or any of the usual nonsense you endure at other salons. Upon entry into her studio, you immediately get a sense of calm and you feel welcomed. Did I mention you don't have to wait for her to show up? Imagine your stylist is there waiting for you with a smile on her face? Well, allow me to introduce you to Brandii. Now let's get to her amazing talents! This woman LOVES what she does and it is shown in her work. She listens to your needs and makes her own recommendations, thus incorporating her ideas w/yours. The end result is absolute personal perfection because whatever style you end with, you feel as though it was meant just for you. I am bipolar w/my hair (today I want hair...tomorrow I want to be bald), but Brandii does not balk at my "special way", she simply embraces it and goes w/it. If you are looking to embrace or simply maintain your naturalness, look no further. Find yourself to this studio and allow Ms. B to take control of your hair. You will be pleasantly surprised and joyful that you found her. Cheers! read more

Incredibly disappointing lack of professionalism. I just wanted this lady to take my money and cut my hair and her behavior was as though she cared not to. I called and called for 2 weeks trying to get in touch to schedule an appointment. FINALLY got an answer with a disinterested attitude, she told me she scheduled 3-4 weeks out and gave me an appointment for then, but said she had some sooner mid week availability if I was able...I told her that would be preferred but I needed to check my work schedule in the morning first especially since I was coming from 2 hrs away. She asked me to text her pics of my hair in the meantime. I did and the next day texted AND called to let her know I could make it to the mid week appointment and let me know when that would be. No response ever. Never heard from her period until the morning of the appointment, 4 weeks later & an hour before Im starting my commute to her, a text saying she was canceling her appointments. Went elsewhere & I'd suggest you save your time and do the same. read more

Service: PERFECTION. Scheduling: PERFECTION (gotta love a stylist who stays on-point with her scheduling!). Knowledge Base and Skill Set: AMAZING. I love how holistically-minded Brandii is, and she is wonderful with her clientele. Book your appointment now, naturalistas. Brandii is the truth...and I am suuuuuper happy with my fresh shape/cut!!!!! Thanks Brandii!!!! read more

My only regret in meeting Brandii is that I did not meet her sooner. First, her hair studio space is immaculate and private. As she only takes one client at a time, so you know that total attention is being given to your scalp and hair. She is very gentle with the wash, condition, and detangling process which for natural hair wearers is a dream come true! She also offers great advice for maintaining good hair and scalp health. Brandii is also extremely creative with styles, to the point where I let her style my hair however she wants. I have yet to be disappointed. Further, I usually get two or three different styles out of it which gives me the most bang for my buck. I would highly recommend Brandii to any natural hair wearer. She knows what she's doing! read more

I highly recommend Brandii at 2814 Hair Studio. I've been going to her the past four years and no one else can touch my hair. She is an excellent natural hair care stylist. She will whip your hair in shape and have it growing fast. She counsels you on good products to use at different price points and she always encourages the healthiest options for my hair. She's the only stylist in her studio and it's filled with beautiful art on the walls. She is very professional and personable. I always look forward to our appointments to hear what new artist she will introduce me to and cool new places to hang. read more

Brandi was recommended to me by someone who saw her once over a year ago (clearly she left an impression(:). I walked in and there was no wait. She got started on me right away. Asked questions to make sure what I wanted and exceeded my expectations! The vibe and energy of her place is so chill and relaxing. I didn't leave without making my next appointment. She's made me a lifer. Thanks Brandi! read more

When I found Brandi I was so excited to have my hair done by her because it is next to impossible to find a decent naturalist in LA..But it has been so difficult trying to lock down an appointment with her. She doesn't return phone calls or text messages. read more

Brandii is excellent at her craft and works magic in there! She is professional, understands her clients' individual hair care needs and always has me looking like a million bucks without charging a fortune. read more

After 10 months of self-styling my fro I decided to take the plunge and let someone else do something with my hair. THANK GOD I DID! I cannot stop staring/touching/playing with this haircut Brandii gave me! From the time I walked in until I left, my experience was nothing but pleasant. The shop was clean and beautiful inside and Brandii was not only extremely welcoming and friendly, she was super knowledgable about natural hair, care and styling techniques, and products (she could tell what I had in my hair just by feeling it lol) and she recommended some products I'll be looking to try asap. I can't wait to go back for a coloring session soon and have decided to add her into the rotation to help keep my hair on track. If you're thinking about making an appointment, stop thinking and DO IT! You will be glad you did...so will your hair :-) read more

I had a great experience with Brandi. I've worn loose (ie no locs) natural styles for 2 years and my DIY routine was no longer working. Brandi conditioned and trimmed my hair very nicely, so I now have a very nice wash-and-go 'fro. Also the salon environment is very pleasnt and I was the only client there at the time of my appointment. No waiting at all, and that's rare! I highly recommend this salon. read more

From the time that I walk through the door at 2814 hair studio, my time is spent with my stylist. I am able to communicate to Brandii what I would like to do with my hair and she always takes my hair to a whole new level. I sit in her chair and we discuss topics covering most anything, all the while she is looking at my curl patterns and thinking of how to best accentuate my best features. Five stars, awesome experience! read more

Brandii Holloway is an artist, let me just say that first. I was looking to get very short cut for my natural to make my life easier. Not really feeling the idea of going to a barber fearing I would come out with a hard edge hairline. But luckily I found Ms. Brandii and she too wears a short style and knew exactly what I was talking about. My haircut is so dope now! I'm in love with the cut I got and I have her thank. I highly recommend her for you natural hair styling needs. read more

Brandii is the most knowledgable, skilled, and professional natural hair stylist that I have ever had the pleasure to meet. She not only did my hair, but gave me great advice on how to maintain it using natural hair products that work best with my type of hair. If I could, I would never let another touch my head. read more

I'm so glad I found a FULL service natural hair care person!! I went to Brandi to start my locs. She is very personable/professional and it's nice to be in an atmosphere that is clean and relaxed! She's quick to respond, on time and I love the fact that she is knowledgeable in advising you on products based on your hair texture. Oh, and there's no waiting! Brandi focus on you during your appointment time...(funny concept I know, right!). I'm uber excited to have found Brandi!!! read more

Amazing all around experience. Brandii is very knowledgeable about natural hair care. I came in with an idea that would have damaged my hair & most stylist would've just done it but Brandii warned me of the risk and gave me options to achieve the look and keep my locks healthy. From an excellent wash (I love a good scalp scrub), to great color, style, and great conversation. I'm definitely going back soon! She's my new exclusive stylist :) read more

I have been coming to Brandii for almost 10 years and I can't get enough! I moved to LA during that time and needed a new stylist. A friend referred me and I have in turn referred many people as well. Brandii is very professional - she's on time, gives you one on one time (not juggling different clients at the same time), she's friendly, and over time has become a great friend. My favorite aspect of Brandii is that she's a perfectionist. She will not allow me to leave her chair unless every piece of hair is in it's place. I have had locs for 15 years and it's because of Brandii's creative styles, dyes, and affordable prices that I have not cut my hair. Go see Brandii - I know you will not be disappointed! read more

Studio 2814 is the best, I can't say enough about my Ms. Brandii. I don't know what I would do without the sista. I keep her on speed dial.

Brandii Holloway is indeed a hidden gem in Los Angeles. From the minute my sister and I walked in 2814 hair studio for a consultation with Brandii she exuded a perfect balance of confidence and sincerity which put all of my worries at ease. It was after my first appointment when she put in my starter locs and I looked into the mirror that I KNEW I had found the stylist for me. Brandii strives to make you comfortable and feel beautiful. She achieves these goals and much more. I can't say enough about Brandii and the experience she creates in her salon. All I can say is that I hope everyone gets a chance to experience Brandii's hands on their hair and her spirit in their life. For the first time in my life I look forward to going to the hair salon. read more
