It was difficult to stay comfortable during the visit. While I appreciate the work of my stylist, the air quality in the salon made the OVERALL EXPERIENCE UNPLEASANT.

During my recent three-hour service, I was subjected to strong chemical fumes, likely from the numerous perm services being performed. These fumes from perm services caused significant irritation to my eyes and nose, not to mention a headache. The excessive chemical fumes and lack of proper ventilation are alarming!

Mai was my stylist and she was super sweet and wonderful to chat with. I got a normal haircut and showed her a few reference photos, consulted with her about what I was looking for in style and the finished look was spot on to my liking! She was meticulous and unhurried throughout the process, paying great attention to detail while cutting. I definitely will be coming back for future haircuts and color treatments with her!!

From there, we did an 10 hour transformation going blonde and honestly, that appointment bonded us for life. I've never trusted anyone else since, she's basically my hairstylist and therapist hehe Her balayage is SOOOOO good. It always looks natural, grows out beautifully, and lasts forever without getting brassy. I'm pretty low-maintenance, and somehow my hair still looks put together months later because of her work. Her haircuts are also super clean, and she's actually the one who got me into curtain byayangs and I've stuck with them ever since. What I appreciate most is how much she cares about doing things the right way. When I decided to go back to my natural color, she didn't rush it or take shortcuts. She slowly transitioned me over time and kept my hair healthy through every stage. I live in Los Angeles now and will literally fly home just to see her, that's how good she is! After 11 years, she's more than just my hairstylist, she's someone I trust completely. Highly recommend!

BRIDES BEWARE! Armando has left a dark, tearful cloud over my wedding day, and has stolen my bridal dreams and ruined my wedding hopes. I wish I could give a negative star rating. Armando canceled on me, via text, on the day of my wedding, two and a half hours before he was supposed to be at my hotel. He said he had a "medical emergency." Well what can you do? I didn't freak out. I wished him well and figured he would send me my money back. However, he said he was sending his "assistant," who I naturally thought would be of the same talent, experience and caliber as Armando. Oh my gosh was I wrong. He was not. Not even close. Armando sent a joke of a replacement - the replacement who was sent was literally pulled out of work from a department store makeup counter and is not a professional at all. He royally messed up my hair, which ruined my pictures and my hopes of feeling like a beautiful bride. He also left the wedding site, two times, to go eat clam chowder while my family and I stood in the cold waiting for him to be found so he could fix my makeup after I had been crying so that we could take photos. It's bad enough that the guy I paid $1250 to do my hair and makeup cancelled on me the day of my wedding, but then he sends someone to replace him that has no business doing a brides hair and makeup, and made things as bad as they could possibly be. I spoke with Armando after the wedding and he agreed to refund all of my money, but more than two months after my wedding he has not sent my money, and he is not returning my calls, emails or texts. He is blatantly ignoring me. In summary, Armando canceled on me the day of my wedding and then sent someone to do my hair and makeup who was unqualified and detrimental, which makes Armando thoughtless and unprofessional. Armando took my money for a service which I never received from him personally, and which he tried to fix with an inadequate replacement. That makes him a thief. And he told me he would refund my money, and he has not, which makes him a liar. Armando has all these 5-star ratings because he is a talented makeup artist, but he is a SHAMEFUL PERSON. I have spent many days crying over my lost bridal dreams and the large amount of money he stole from me. Though my wedding was still the happiest day of my life despite this horrible mess, this ordeal will forever shadow my wedding day memories. I take solace in the fact that karma is unforgiving and inescapable. read more

Armando is by far the most accommodating hair stylist I've ever worked with. He is available at the times I need a hair cut. He also keeps up with the latest styles and the trendy looks that young and old generation want. He's very open to suggestions and listens to the client as to how they want the haircut to look like. As a professional, he listens, and then suggests the best option to achieve the ultimate goal. I've been going to Armando to Get my hair cut and every where I go, I always get a compliment on my hair and they want to know who cuts it.

Unfortunately, I have to update my review. I have been going to Lupita for my nails for over a year…read more(since august of 2019) I am always kind, respectful, and prompt for my appointments. I know that this year has been difficult and stressful for everyone, so I have really been patient with people but the way I have been treated has become a pattern so I must speak my truth. For my last three appointments Lupita has been over 10 minutes late. When I most recently visited on November 19th my appointment was for 12pm and she didn't start me until 12:20pm. Normally I can make this work, but the problem is she never sets clear expectations by sending a text and letting me know she is running late. I work full-time in tech and I also run my own business on the side so my time is valuable. It would be nice if she also valued the time of her clients. When we started the appointment she made me feel rushed as if I was the one that showed up 20 minutes late to the appointment. There was a moment where I was trying to decide my style and she literally asked me to hurry up because she has another appointment at 1. I don't feel valued at all as a client. I also noticed that the quality of my nails has slowly declined over the past year. Lupita used to really take her time with me and make sure I was happy with the style and colors she used. But lately there has been a serious lack of consistency. I feel like she doesn't show me the same care that she shows her other clients. She even left a bunch of acrylic on my natural nails during my removal because she was rushing. Lastly there are times where I feel really unwelcome in the shop. I understand that this is a Latino owned business and their first priority is to serve the people in their community but I figured in 2020 we would be wise enough to not judge people by the amount of pigmentation in their skin but for the quality of their heart. There are times when other people in the shop give me really rude looks and make sly comments that they think I can't understand but I speak basic Spanish. Like I mentioned before I always show up respectfully and kind despite the subpar treatment and I don't appreciate being judged by people don't know me especially when my money is just as good. I've noticed she treats her other clients like family and even though I've been coming for over a year she still treats me like a random. I'm overall so disappointed and disheartened by my experience lately. If you would've asked me last year I would've recommended Lupita's shop in a heartbeat but this year I'm not even sure if I want to ever return. :(
