    Nikki R.

    Working with Kat and the team at Absolutely Beautiful was such a dream. I felt like a Disney princess while I was on her chair. I seriously have nothing but praises for Kat, Eri, and Jasmine. My bridal party loved their hair and make up on my wedding. They made each bridesmaid, maid of honor, parents of the bride feel so pretty and cared for. They are absolute masters of the craft. I personally have no experience with using make up or doing my hair and Kat was absolutely magical. My make up didn't run when I cried and by the end of the night it looked just like it did when she applied it at 10:00 am. Also my hair is very straight and flat and somehow Kat worked her magic and my curls last all night long. She also stayed for the ceremony to do touch up on me and my wife throughout the evening and I cannot sing her enough praises. I am so thankful that I found Absolutely Beautiful and Kat because I don't think I would've looked half as good if she wasn't my hair and make up artist. And even before the wedding I kept having to add on people to the list of who needed hair and make up on my wedding day and Kat was so accommodating and everytime I would apologize she welcomed the challenge of having move people to do. If you're looking for a hair and make up team for your special events I cannot help but recommend this wonderful group of ladies over and over again. Trust me when I say you will not regret it, this would be your best choice hands down. Thank you again Kat for everything you did for us!!

    kat's hair & makeup magic!

    I cant express enough how amazing Kat and her whole team are not only from a talent & professional perspective but also just the exact kind of people/energy you want around you on your big day. They really take the time to understand what you're going for and executed flawlessly. They are all a joy to work with and i wish I was getting married again to be able to hang out and get glammed up by them again!!!

    (I have no idea why there's so few reviews on here!! Go over to The Knot, there's lots over there lol) I physically cannot recommend Kat for your hair and makeup wedding needs enough. I am a picky as hell natural blonde who doesn't know how to describe what I want and somehow Kat took all of that and turned it into magic!! I wanted "my face but better glam" (so helpful I'm sure) - I wanted to look like the best version of me. Kat took so much time with me for our trial, tried multiple things, and helped me figure out what I wanted. Not only that, she has the most wonderful calm energy - just so totally zen in an area of your life where you're already freaking out - it was absolutely priceless. She made me look better than I knew I could. She gave my mom her first ever professional hair and makeup and I think my mom cried when she needed to take it off, lol. She made my natural-inclined bridesmaid look incredible, helped my glamorous matron of honor get the zhuzh she was hoping for, and even helped my brother (and man of honor) with his complexion and brows so he'd look as polished as the rest of us. All the while she was just so kind and good natured with us - absolutely worth every penny. The prices are SOO reasonable (you know how insane it can be, since you're here reading reviews) and honestly I looked the same at 1am as I did when she finished my makeup at 4pm. It was like magic. I hope I have something fancy again sometime soon, because Kat is officially stuck doing my makeup forever and ever. If you're still reading this - I obviously cannot recommend Kat enough!!

    Kat and her team were so absolutely incredible! First, she really took the time to make sure that I looked good and felt amazing (I really don't know too much about makeup and hair, so her help here was so appreciated). Her team was professional and kind and kept us on time (we did my bridal hair and makeup + hair & makeup for 7 bridesmaids plus my mom). Everyone looked beautiful! Lastly, I danced SO HARD at my wedding and my makeup and hair still looked so good at the end of the night. Idk what magic Kat worked to keep me from looking like a swamp witch by the end of the night but I literally couldn't recommend her more!

    I moved to LA and tried a bunch of salons, but none of them really worked for me. My girlfriend…read morerecommended Kaz, though she warned he's usually booked out about three weeks in advance. At my appointment, Kaz started with a wash and then spent a solid 40-60 minutes on the cut. He's super detailed. It felt like he was paying attention to every single strand. I love how it turned out.!!! After washing, my hair just falls into place naturally. I barely have to style it...just brush and go. I travel a frequently so I didn't get back for about three months, but my hair still held up and looked good. Definitely recommend Kaz.

Yuji was my hairdresser, and he was so kind, precise, and skilled with my haircut. When I first walked in, I thought, "ah this really is a no frills hair salon," and I'll admit I was a little nervous since it was my first time and I didn't know what to expect. As soon as I sat down, my nerves went away. Yuji was so gentle and attentive, and I felt really well taken care of. My appointment lasted about an hour and included a wash and cut. Parking is validated for up to two hours, which is definitely enough time. I was so happy with my results. I truly don't know how Yuji creates such magic with his hands! I'll be coming here from now on for my haircuts. Please show Yuji and Hair Craft your support by leaving a generous tip. An establishment like this that truly gives you high quality results for such a generous price deserves to be met with gratitude and good tips. Too many salons are charging an arm and a leg for a basic trim these days, and Hair Craft is not one of them. There were only 1-2 stylists working during my visit, so please be patient and make sure to book at least three weeks in advance. When I booked, they were already scheduled out for three weeks, and I overheard them telling other callers the same thing. Thankfully, it was absolutely worth the wait. I can't wait to come back and will definitely be booking with Yuji again. Thank you Hair Craft for such a wonderful experience!!!

We got him an appointment with Manson and Manson was truly wonderful with him. He gave him quite the glow up and gave him a style that he could wear different ways - one way would not show a lot of change from his original haircut (so as not to get teased by classmates), but he could style it a few other ways that really showed off his individual style and he absolutely LOVED that. Now my nephew wants to come to LA for a haircut every time. LOL! Considering he's from Oregon that won't be happening as often as he'd like, but he definitely has decided that Manson is his hair stylist in Los Angeles.

Roommate Salon is tucked into one of the retail spaces beneath the Toy Lofts in the Arts District of DTLA. We love the convenient location--it's just a short walk for us, saving us trips to K-Town for hairstylists experienced with Asian hair. Parking is available on the street, with a paid lot nearby near the restaurant Camelia. My partner and I both got haircuts from Manson at Roommate Salon (on separate occasions). My partner has very short hair, and I have long hair, and we're both extremely happy with the results. Manson is calm, focused, and incredibly meticulous. He also provides excellent advice tailored to your hair type. Don't expect a quick 30-minute haircut--Manson truly takes his time to ensure quality. I also had a Japanese scalp massage with Miko. Her technique was excellent, leaving me completely relaxed afterward. The pricing is on par with other hair salons in LA. My partner and I'm looking forward to our next haircut with Manson.

You're escorted to the lockers to put your belongings away, given a cozy robe, and immediately made to feel relaxed and taken care of. The service here is honestly unparalleled--even compared to many places I've visited in Japan. The scalp cleansing feels incredible, and the head massage is so amazing that it deserves to be its own standalone service. While you're getting your hair done, they also offer a variety of complimentary drinks and snacks, making the entire experience feel thoughtful and elevated. As for Olivia--she was phenomenal. I came in with no specific hairstyle in mind. I simply pointed out the areas I was concerned about, and she expertly created a look that suited me while explaining what she was doing every step of the way. She gave me practical styling tips and genuinely focused on the long-term health of my hair. What stood out the most was that she never tried to upsell me on products or unnecessary services. Instead, she genuinely cared about making sure my hair was healthy and that I left happy with the results. That level of honesty is hard to find these days. If you're looking for a salon that values quality, craftsmanship, and customer care over making a quick sale, this is the place. The pricing is incredibly fair for the level of service and attention you receive. I can't recommend Olivia enough. I'll definitely be coming back!

You can tell she truly cares about her work.

Not only is he an absolute sweetheart and an awesome person all…read morearound but he also truly takes the time to put his focus and care into each one of his clients. It was my very first time with The Hideout Salon and not only was he understanding of any scheduling rearrangements we had to make, he also made sure to make it a point that we would be setting enough time aside for what we would anticipate needing so that when the time came, there would be zero rush along with top quality service which makes a huge difference in customer experience compared to factory booking which sacrifices quality, time, and attentiveness for squeezing in numbers, and as clients we all greatly appreciate this! While I was waiting Allie was very sweet and settled me in/welcomed me and offered me something to drink. The decor of the place felt very cozy and cute. If youre a dog lover you'll also be very happy to probably see a friendly cute Lil doggo named Carl (Karl?) comfortably shimmying his way around the shop (and if youre scared of dogs dont worry, he really just does his own thing Lol). Hes So darn cute and floofy. I came in for both a color and a consultation for a potential cut. Because I sometimes tend to notice/look at details that others may want to gloss over or perceive as me overanalyzing, it felt really difficult for me to explain to others how my recent haircut from another place just a month or two ago had specific lengths and cuts in specific areas going around my whole hair that had left my previous haircut feeling kind of "off" in certain ways and that I felt was giving my hair the very slight illusion of looking shorter than it actually really was and a little "choppy" in some areas, which then had an effect on how it framed my face/widened it instead of helping elongate it. But when I explained it to Daniel, he totally got it and even held up the individual sections that he agreed were causing those effects, why it was creating the effect that it was and how we would resolve it. I was so happy that he not only truly acknowledges and makes it important to understand where his clients are coming from (whether its concerns or goals etc) but that he also has such skill and knowledge to be able to fully do so and hit the nails right on the head. The color was also beautiful as well and because I wanted something that was healthier than permanent that would also give my hair a healthier appearance (ie shine, softness, gloss etc) he recommended the demi and also mentioned that it would make it easier down the road for me to go lighter if I ever wanted to. The color blended and matched so well with the rest of my hair and everything from the cut to the color made me feel like all of my goals were achieved. Everything Daniel did with my hair left me feeling so *Bonita*, and he was just such a joy to work with and an awesome person all around. Thank you Daniel for this lovely experience :) -------------------------------- Parking: Since the salon is in the heart of Downtown, its best to try and arrive a bit earlier than your appointment time and to be prepared for alot of one way streets and quickly turning into the available open public parking lots closeby before passing the salon (to avoid having to go further down in a circle to get back to the parking again). I believe there are 2 or 3 lots before you pull up to the salon that have big signs that say public parking. If youre driving towards the direction of the salon, out of the 3 the first one youll pass is just self-service/pay which was the one I parked in, and the other two have attendants as you pull up to the salon. Im not sure if both of those allow open access to all, so i will find out the next time I go again :) The front of the salon itself can be very easy to miss so just make sure to park before you even pass it on your GPS and youll see a small little sign over a door that says the Hideout salon when you walk up. There will be a door code for you to enter so just ask the salon for the door code in advance so that youre all set to go when you get there as well :)

    Venue: The Hideout is hugely deceptive from the outside, the…read moremoment I walked through the door I was genuinely shocked by how large and beautiful the space is. It's a gorgeous setting and the entire team is incredibly warm and welcoming. Service: Daniel Apodaca is an exceptional talent. I went in for a brunette colour correction that took almost five hours, and every single minute was worth it. I trusted his judgement, his suggestions, and his overall vision for my hair, and I'm so glad I did. This is the first time in my life I've walked out of a hair appointment with my expectations truly exceeded. I left The Hideout completely blown away by the results and didn't feel the need to tweak, adjust, or "fix" anything afterward, which is rare. Even the blow-dry/silk press combo lasted a full week. Daniel is kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely lovely to spend time with. I've absolutely found my stylist and will 100% be back.
