Between the ocean, pool, and everything else I put my hair through during the summer, I'm honestly amazed at how healthy and beautiful my blonde stays!

She cuts and layers my hair so perfectly, giving it so much movement and making it so much easier to style. I get compliments on my hair from strangers all the time now, and I always give Erin all the credit! She's incredibly talented, and I genuinely don't know what I would do without her.

She also double booked and then an assistant finished my hair which she was a lot nicer. My hair color was fine after leaving but I'm not sure if carly left the toner on for too long or what but my hair felt incredibly dry for months... I honestly booked Carly because of her good reviews but I highly DO NOT recommend. I recently went to Haute Aveda Blonde Specialists and booked with Tiana.

She made me feel great- just looking back at my experience at Santo - it was night and day

I'm on the far right!

I'm disappointed with my experience at this salon due to poor communication and pricing practices…read more I had an appointment scheduled with Rachel, but she canceled just a few hours before my appointment time. To her credit, she was able to arrange for another stylist, Erik to take the appointment so I would not have to reschedule. She even booked the replacement appointment on my behalf. Before the appointment, I specifically asked Rachel to have the new stylist honor the price she had quoted me. She assured me that she would pass along that information to the new stylist. When it came time to pay, I was shocked to learn that Erik charged approximately 40% more than the original quoted price. At no point before or during the appointment was I informed that his pricing was different, despite my explicit request that the original quote be honored. Had I been told upfront about the higher price, I could have made an informed decision before proceeding. Instead, I only found out after the service was completed and payment was due. The lack of transparency regarding pricing left me feeling misled and frustrated. I understand that different stylists may have different rates, but clear communication about pricing changes is essential, especially when an appointment is reassigned by the salon at the last minute. Unfortunately, this experience left a negative impression.

Unfortunately, from the moment I arrived, the experience was disappointing. Viki was on her phone when I walked in and barely acknowledged me. Before the appointment, I had texted her pictures of my hair along with several Pinterest inspiration photos, but when I showed them again in person, she acted as if she had never seen them. Even though she said she could do what I wanted, her attitude was dismissive and negative throughout. She made it seem like she was doing me a favor by taking the appointment, even though that was the time her boss had scheduled. Her tone and demeanor made the entire experience uncomfortable, and I ended up leaving before the service even started. I left feeling deflated and doubting what I had originally wanted to do with my hair. It was clear she did not want to work that evening, but if that was the case, a quick text or reschedule would have saved us both time. On a positive note, when I called her boss afterward, she was very kind, apologetic, and understanding. Overall, this was an incredibly disappointing encounter, especially considering how many great stylists there are in the South Bay. Try someone else at the salon who has a better attitude.

Moreover, maturity level has a lot to do with it. Location: Salon is located near the Bay Club, the location is beautiful and plenty to do afterwards, but not worth it when you leave the salon with results that you clearly advised you did not want to see. Parking: Metered parking, somewhat tight due to gym; however, the salon does provide you a pass. Front desk person: Woman that answers the phone provides the recommendation on who to see based on the description that you give her; altough I'm not sure she is the right person so make those determinations. Color: Failed results at all times, kept saying that it's a process, yet she never invested in achieving the color as we discussed. I felt low and disregarded every single time I left the salon. I paid over $1000 to not obtain the results in each session. When I shared my concerns with her and advised that the incorrect color was used, she became distant, ghosted me on text and was not honest about when she was in the office. I called the salon and the woman at the front told me she was there. I feel cheated and hurt. There is no salon manager, no one that cares or that you can speak to about your concerns.

2 weeks ago I received my first haircut from Austin after being with my prior stylist for 8 years. I wanted a new stylist close to home in the South Bay so after looking at Yelp reviews for Austin and seeing his haircut images online I decided to try him. I do not need to look any further after he cut my hair. I basically requested a short haircut and let him do his thing which turned out to be perfect. You can totally trust him to take a few suggestions and then simply give you one of the best haircuts you'll find anywhere. He's easy to talk to and his space is calm without all the noise and distractions at most hair salons. If you simply want a great haircut from a skilled guy, Austin is your man. read more

Austin has been cutting my hair now for almost 3 years, and since the first time he has cut my hair til now I have not let one single person cut my hair. He really is the total package. He listens very well and his customer service is off the charts. Before I met Austin I always had trouble finding the right person to cut my hair. I would bounce around from barber to barber but no one would actually want to help me for what I would really ask for. Since knowing Austin for all these years I would not just consider him my barber but a actual friend. If you live in the South Bay/ LA area there's no other choice but to see him. read more

I've been going to Austin for over seven years. Always does an excellent job and is very cool, very personable! Getting my haircut used to be a chore, but since going to Austin, it's become more like a couple of good friends hangin' out for about a half hour or so, catching up and oh yeah....getting my haircut while we're at it. He's in a great room at a very nice location and since branching out on his own, it's very easy to make an appointment...a couple of clicks of the mouse or smartphone and you're good to go. Highly recommend Austin. read more

Austin never makes you feel rushed, and he always takes the time to make sure everything's dialed in.

She is also conscious of the products she uses and their impact on the environment or how they might interact with me (and others), staying up to date on the best to use. When she shares information about new products, it's out of pure excitement and not ever trying to push a sale. The products they use are cruelty free, paraben, sulfate, phosphate, etc.-free. I have eczema so I appreciate having her reliable insight and not have to do all this research on daily-use products! Personally, I have black, thin, wavy hair that I keep medium length. She has done balayage with me to get to nice chestnutty tones, at times ashier tones and knows how to frame those strands so there's something new to see every time I do my hair. Also it seems people don't often talk about Mia's cuts because her color is so outstanding, but FYI no one cuts like her. She GETS IT. Graham and her are the perfect team in their intimate salon. Do his and hers or hers and hers or theirs and theirs (love is love) appointments and reap the benefits of the full Mia and Graham experience.

Jerry Madrid

This review is definitely long overdue!…read more I've been going to Jerry since inception of his hair styling career nearly ten years ago, and I've followed him around the South Bay like a loyal little puppy. You would too if you've been fortunate enough to have a "hair by Jer" do, as he has become so affectionately known for. Growing up, I've always had the typical long and straight Asian hair look--no bangs, layers or color. And, because my hair is stick straight, it's hard to cut because precision is key--even the slightest error would be obvious. So my first cut with Jerry was something extremely drastic and I chopped my long locks to a shoulder length bob with bangs and I absolutely loved it! Although now looking back, I traded one Asian look for another, lol. It was easy to manage and maintain and require only 5 minutes every morning. The cut framed my round face really well and complimented my features...not trying to toot my own horn but those are things that many people want in a cut, and Jerry made it happen on his first cut with me. Since then, I've tried different lengths, different bangs and varying layers and I've been extremely satisfied with all of the cuts. He's also had to adjust the way he cuts and styles my hair since I've had kids since and them hormones do a number on everything including hair growth, texture and quantity. Although the pics that I have aren't the best (since I've had to go though years of pics) I have no hesitation recommending Jerry to others including my old boss/Director and he still goes to him! Jerry has a well-rounded clientele including women, men, children of varying ages--he does it all! Jerry is currently at Divat Salon in Manhattan Beach.

Oh hell nah!!! Once again, Yelp did the job and it directed me to Mr. Jerry. 5 stars!!! You got to be kidding! There's no way! Yeah, I was skeptic but what the heck... So I made a call and right off the bat, Jerry accommodated my need for a hair cut ASAP (same day). He booked me with an evening appointment, which was rare for me but also worked with my schedule and his. I am not used to coming to a salon but this actually says a lot about him and his craft. My concern was how am I going to get comfortable and thinking if I should trust this dude to touch my hair and hopefully he would not mess it up. Okay!?!?! A short greeting and believe it or not my shield of ice broke and I was relax. Oh, he also had an assistant, which he is mentoring. That was cool! Anyway, he asked how do I want my hair done? While he assessed and observed my hair 360 degrees, I briefly shared him my past horror experiences with other 3.5 and above stars barber shops. He knew my concerns but he humbly appreciated that I reach-out and allowed his expertise into action. Scissors went flying, hoisted up and down the chair, few conversations and Viola!

As the pictures clearly show, he cut a literal hole in my hair above my ear, creating a completely uneven and unacceptable result. It's a shocking lack of skill for someone who owns a barbershop. This wasn't a minor mistake; it was a disaster that ruined my look. Zero Effort to Correct the Situation. Following this terrible experience, I sent the owner, Nicky, several emails asking how he planned to correct this situation, as the damage he did will take weeks to grow out. He has ignored every single one of my emails. This is not only terrible business practice but also shows a blatant disrespect for a customer whose hair he ruined. A professional should immediately try to rectify a mistake, but Svelte Barbershop, and Nicky specifically, have chosen to hide instead. If you are looking for a skilled barber and a shop with even basic customer service, do not go to Svelte Barbershop & Essential. The owner, Nicky, is clearly unskilled and unwilling to take responsibility for his terrible work. This was the worst haircut I have ever received, coupled with the worst customer service. Save your money and your hair, go somewhere else! I've attached photos from the horrible cut about a week or so after being butchered and now a new haircut at a different barber, where he attempted to even it out. You can still see the chunk that was taken out but at least the haircut actually flows now and is not a total dumpster fire.
