Amazing experience at Aveda Salon! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with such warmth and genuine hospitality. Jayne was incredibly kind and took the time to walk me through all of the amazing products you carry. Her knowledge was so impressive, and I truly appreciated how thoroughly she explained everything, that kind of personalized attention is rare in LA. We came in for my 12-year-old son's haircut, and Tabitha was simply amazing. She did a wonderful job with his hair, and we were beyond impressed with the final result. She was professional, detailed, and the cut and style came out perfectly. You can really see the care and pride she puts into her work. While I was waiting, Jayne kindly offered me a complimentary manicure clean-up. Normally I don't go for freebies, but she was so sweet and thoughtful that I said yes and I ended up wanting to book a full manicure because of how wonderful she was. She did an excellent job, especially since my nails were in rough shape from picking at them. They turned out beautiful, polished, and perfect. I also want to mention the other lovely girl at the front desk, whose name I unfortunately didn't catch. She was so kind and helpful in showing me the teas and new skincare products. Every person we interacted with made us feel so welcome. This was my first experience at this location, and I was thoroughly impressed. You truly have an incredible team, and we will absolutely be coming back. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! read more

I am extremely happy w my hair color. At first the change was WOWZA because it took adjusting to but it is exactly what I wanted.... Best Salon around read more

I would be remiss if I didn't write this. It felt like this salon was pulling a shady move on me today! Read below: I loved this salon up until right now. I moved two years ago and found my stylist home here with William who was absolutely fantastic, he gave me the best cuts and once he became a colorist, he really took great care of my color and gave me great advice for my overall hair health. In the two years, I had seen two other stylist for blowouts there who were fine as well. I found out TODAY when I called about my appointment THIS upcoming Wednesday, that he no longer works there. Now in my opinion, Aveda should have called his appointments and made them aware of that, so that his clients would have enough time to book with another stylist or salon, should they have a second option (in another salon or whatever)- not wait for THEM to call, or show up. But no, they seem to be just fine with letting me show up on Wednesday for a cut, color, and blow dry with a stylist that I had never been with before who does not know me or worked with my hair before and just let me know then?!? Are you kidding me?! What if I had a shoot or an event scheduled? Now I do not know if he left on his own accord or not nor is it anyone's business on how or why, but it is the salons responsibility to call the book and let them know. This leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. I am so disappointed in them that they were going to pull such a bad move. But I digress. It does not sit right with me and I wanted everyone to be aware. Needless to say. Though it will leave me with finding a new salon home, I will not be going back. They have lost my trust as a salon. Oh and If anyone knows where William went please let me know! We NEVER exchanged numbers believe it or not in the whole two years!!!! read more

Great excellent service and price , there is almost no waiting time easy to work with . I call and h go it my appointment in 30 minutes. Comparing to other salons that they are usually close or you need to make appointment with extremely high price , just because their status on social media . Aveda did excellent work on my hair 100%recomended read more

Tabitha is the best! She's been doing my color and cuts for over two years and I always leave the salon so thrilled with how my hair turned out. Her patient and calm demeanor makes for such a pleasant salon experience. She listens to what I envision for my hair and gives great feedback and insight to make sure I walk away pleased with the results! If you're looking for a stylist, I'd definitely recommend seeing Tabitha at Kriza! read more

I've been coming here for the past eight years or so. I'm really happy with their services and Will fixed my hair after a mishap at another salon. The staff are very warm and welcoming, and even serve complementary tea to their customers. I also like the aromatherapy they use on your hair when massaging your scalp. I will definitely keep coming back! read more

Melissa has been so wonderful. It's hard to find a new stylist but I do trust her and has really gotten to know my style. She's patient, kind and sassy, what more could you ask for? I would definitely recommend her to all of my close friends. read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS SALON. The so called manager is actually the owner and their business practice is extremely unethical. They try to upsell their services and don't offer to fix a problem their stylist created. The owner is fake and doesn't care about the customer at all. read more

Incredible lack of care at this Studio City locale. I've been going to Aveda Salons for over 20 years. I took a friend to celebrate her birthday. While her service was wonderful, my deep condition consisted of applying conditioner, walking away for five minutes and then rinsing it out (my friend was still in the chair twenty minutes later and started before me). read more

Tabitha is amazing!! Highly recommend her. She always takes her time and does a great job recreating my vision and bringing it to life! She is nice and will never push a service that isn't needed. She has a true talent for hair! Great desk staff and nice owners! 100% recommend! Fairly priced as well for all services! read more

Update to my review: The salon called me to go back in and they would charge $240 for highlights. Just look at my pictures. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SALON AT ALL COSTS! Now I really do have to have to go somewhere to pay hundreds of dollars for a color correction. Hita, the owner, overlooked the entire process and was directing Tabitha. The end result was finished when Hita was already gone so Tabitha said she would send the pictures to Hita. Additionally the girls at the front who were also horrified said they would send the pictures to Hita and not to worry, it would be an easy fix. However, Hita said she's proud of the work they did and that this is not worthy of a refund or "fixing". Judge for yourself. This is their best work. This place is horrible. Hita, the supposed "color educator" did this to my hair and claims the "integrity of my hair couldn't take it" - check out the pictures and let me know if that looks like "damaged" hair. She is a master manipulator. Her own stylists were horrified at the work and said it would be an easy fix, so I simply ask her to please tone the hair down - at least make the colors even, she claims that I'm bullying her. Im absolutely devastated that after all this time, money, energy and trust, I'm left with an end result that is only going to cost me more money, time and energy to fix. These are very bad people. Just read the other reviews and judge for yourself. read more

Terrible service from start to finish. Service A (back length hair) keratin treatment $350, left hair greasy and frizzy due to under washing of product. Took weeks for my hair to return to normal. Service B (shoulder length hair) - redo of keratin $210. Credit with salon was $140. Called back to use credit and it was "adjusted" with the accountant and no longer available for use. Inconsistent employees, incompetent service. read more

Hi! I want to give a wonderful shoutout to stylist Jennifer Parker (Jenny). It was my sister's birthday on April 30th, and Jenny took us on incredibly short notice. Unfortunately, on the same day, my sister's hair was cut too short at another hair salon and we went to Aveda in Studio City with a "hair emergency." Jenny took my sister and immediately started working. She put her hair up and comforted my sister by saying it would be a "Disney princess" themed hair style. She described it perfectly. The hair is exactly what we wanted, and truly, Jenny saved the day just in time for my sister's birthday. Highly recommend her! Thank you so much, Jenny. read more

I have shopped at this salon for our hair and skin products for years. But from Now on, I will buy my Aveda products on line. After work I rushed across town to the salon to buy Aveda Shampoo & conditioner. I made it to the shop, walked in at 7:50pm Yelp and Kriza's website states they are open until 8pm The doors were unlocked the lights were on. But the person running the register wouldn't sell me a freaking bottle of shampoo and conditioner. I wil never ever buy another product from these asshats again. read more

Aveda on Ventura Blvd near Bookstar offers a pleasant color-and-cut experience. The salonists all know what they're doing, and they're all very gracious. You'll be offered tea on a pretty tray. You'll be given a nice hand and temple massage with aromatherapy. You'll walk out feeling pretty and pampered. Guys get a nice hot towel treatment! I've seen plenty of guys in here looking very happy and chill. Aveda is a bit pricey for my blood, but they are very good. Definitely a good place to keep in your back pocket! read more

My go-to salon for getting a balayage!! I usually find it hard to find places that I can trust to give me what I'm looking for but I've been going here since I first got my hair colored and they've never failed me. I've gotten my hair done by both Hita and Lisa, I definitely recommend either of them! I usually come in with an idea of what color I want but since I'm usually just looking for something new I tend to give them the majority of the freedom to pick for me and it's always so beautifully done. HIGHLY recommend this salon! Always a quality experience with them read more

Honestly, I can say that this salon is the best in LA area. They strive to take care of their guest/costumers and will do their best to make them happy at all cost. The management is heartfelt and hard working, the stylist are amazing and so talented in all of their locations. Raylene, Joy, Hita, Janice, Tommy, James, Justin, Londyn, Alex and Gina are all amazing at what they do. I've seen bad reviews on this salon and all I can say, is give them a second chance because you'll find a stylist right for you and never want to let them go. I LOVE KRIZA 100000 stars read more

William is the BEST! I love watching him cut my hair because he is so precise and on point like if he's an artist painting a portrait. I also love the positive energy and clean space of the salon and everyone is so nice and welcoming. read more

This review is for Tabitha--she's so great! She's highlighted my hair multiple times and has done a really good job. I've struggled in the past to find hairstylists who could make it look as natural as I wanted, but Tabitha does a great job. I'm moving out of state and am sad to no longer be able to go to her for color. Highly recommend her! read more

Love love love coming to this salon! Tabitha is my absolute favorite hairstylist. Not only is she so kind, but she does such a great job making my hair look and feel so healthy. I highly recommend everyone come to Aveda Studio City if you're looking for a salon that cares about their customers read more

I finally found an out of this world Master Stylist! Thank you Joy for transforming my very average hair into exactly what I wanted. Amazing highlights with the perfect tone. Beautiful salon with professional staff. I look forward to my next visit! read more

Ok, let me start that I just paid "discounted" price of $150/hour for "highlights" that don't look anything like baby highlights I came for or any highlights, these are blotched lines. I'm already scheduling someone else to fix these bold looking patches on my scalp. I'm sorry, did I mentioned I just paid $800+ for this mess. Can't even put my hair back, this is by far the WORST case of highlights I have ever had... Anyways, on consultation, Hita told me how she is going to pick my hair one by one and only apply bleach on roots and run some darker tone in between to bring vibration to my hair. Ummm, ok, instead she parted for highlights, put foil and instead of picking hair with brush just put it in straight lines. I even asked if it will come out in lines which she assured it wouldn't because my hair are too thin. Well, if you bleach scalp in blotches like these, it will come out not only thin but bold, and right in front for everyone to see and think WTH happened... thanks a lot, not coming back nor recommend anyone here! 04/18/2023 Reply to the owner: Please stop lying and defending your horrible work! Nothing and I say absolutely nothing was done what was talked about on the constitution! My hair is ruined and a shame to look at! Hita specifically described how and what she intended to do on 3 weeks and made me wait and go to my vacation with 2 inches uncoloured roots. She ruined my vacation too that way with her lies and promises. And another thing, one more reply with your lies like that to me, you might find yourself in small claim court next time you want to talk to me about my hair. My hair were much vibrant and more beautiful and definitely healthier before your work. STOP LYING! You are people should not be doing this work because you are completely horrible at it! Shame on Aveda for still letting you using their name! read more

I've been coming to Aveda Kriza Salon for over 18 years, and Hita has cut my hair so fantastic every time! Used to get their color, which was so beautiful and natural, but let it go to my natural grey a few years ago. Love love love this salon! Beautiful environment, great products, and I always enjoy the head & neck massage with every cut. Highly recommend if you want to be pampered! read more

Lisa is literally my north star when it comes to all things hair. She's helped me keep my hair heathy while achieving the (sometimes ridiculous) levels of blonde I want to be. Always a lovely experience getting my hair done at Kriza and the price is so much more reasonable than salons over the hill. 10/10!!! read more

This is a real gem of a local salon. I have been going for years. Hita, the owner takes great trouble with all of her clients. And her haircuts and color are the best. She wouldn't have a full roster of clients that keep coming back again and again otherwise. I've had my hair cut and colored by many others in the salon too and they all work to a very high standard. We live in an age where businesses get scammed by people who write bad reviews and demand payment from those businesses if they want them to take them down. There are also those who might just never be satisfied wherever they go. It makes me very sad to see this really great business being harangued by those who have written unkind and unfair reviews. I believe anyone can see through those reviews and imagine the kinds of people who might write them. Let me assure anyone genuinely interested in a first class salon, you won't go wrong here. read more

DO NOT GET HAIRCUTS HERE! My cut is soooo hideous. I am so embarrassed and she cut soooo much the only choice is to shave it. Now I have 10 years to grow my hair back. First, I was told over the phone that Joy was THE curly cutter and would cost $75 because she's an expert. I was apprehensive. I haven't had any luck with haircuts. I wanted to cut my own hair as I am better off. But mom encouraged me to have it done. Now she knows why I had reservations. I wanted to cancel. My gut was screaming at me. Joy had no personality, was rude and very arrogant as most stylists are and now she quoted $100 then $90 when I asked to take out the blow dry!! Mom and I always end up having our hair cutters straighten our hair because they can't cut curly right nor style it right and always leave curly hair frizzy and ugly. But aim not paying $10 extra for drying my hair! I told her I was quoted $75 and instantly she got defensive as they all do saying she's a master cutter expert doing this since the 80s and can easily schedule me with someone else. Doesn't mean you're GOOD. She didn't even have a clue about popular curly products out there. She rolled her eyes when I talked about Deva Curl Ouidad cutters who actually have done the best job on my haircuts than anyone else. I've paid $200 for a BH curly cutter and it was the best cut but I avoid cuts because I can't afford them and they always suck. My mother used to be a hair stylist and when my mother was also horrified at my cut, she suggested to Joy how to cut layers right and she got defensive. i told her mom used to cut and style hair and she was sooooo RUDE saying, "well she doesn't now" like that changes your skill! There are no layers or volume in back and the hair in front is longer than in back. The top is flat, when I told her I need volume there. Nope. She was more interested in her neighbor cutting an abnoxious 10 yo girl's hair. She tried to correct the layers, where stylists are always making excuses, always my fault somehow. They always try to justify their ugly haircutting skills. A stylist behind me, Tommy, was giving this poor girl an ugly haircut too. I remember his horrific reviews and Hilda, who the salon recommends. Then at the desk, they tried to charge me hidden charges. They charge $5 extra for employee retirement fund or whatever it was but nobody stays there long enough for such benefits. There's always that extra fee for drying your hair straight, for that extra tube of dye you didn't know they had to use, that apparent deep conditioner they used while your hair was in the sink, so watch out. I'm so embarrassed of my hideous ugly haircut and now I have to find a curly cutter to fix it! The top of my hair is FLAT. The length in the back is shorter than the front. Never going back! Ughh! I want my money back! read more

What an absolute treasure . Kriza Aveda Salon, and specifically Hita were a god send. I was recommended by a friend prior to a TedX event and she did some amazing work with my thin, frizzy, and unruly hair. Don't get me wrong my prior beauticians were ok but Hita is leaps and bounds over them with her knowledge and the amazing Aveda products. What a pleasure it is to visit her and the excellent staff and walk out feeling amazing . read more

Went to get a routine haircut and was very disappointed. The hairstylist did not finish drying my hair as I left with wet hair at the top. My cut is jagged and ends are still damaged. The manager followed up with a routine check-in and when I explained my poor experience nothing was done and no efforts where made to listen to my needs and correct my issue. The salon was empty when I went and now I know why. Be cautious before getting a haircut here. read more

This was my first time in years at an Aveda salon. I must say, I never should have left. My hair color and cut turned out amazing. For the last 4 years, I'd been getting my color and cut done at two separate salons. No more. I'll be coming back regularly for Janice. read more

I have been coming to this salon since 2009. Yesterday, Melissa colored my hair she did a great job as usual. I can say that all the color specialist here are amazing. For haircut I. used to go to the most expensive places in Beverly Hills until I discovered Tommy here,I can't say enough about his haircut he's really talented and educated for what he does,amazing!!!! Best service/lowest price. read more

Absolutely awful experience! Please DO NOT get your hair done here. Hair was done by Tommy and overseen by Manager Hita. They left bleach on my head for almost 4 hours which resulted in a chemical burn all over my scalp and down my face. I had to follow up going to a doctor, they would not give me a refund either. Hita would not even give me her name. Her and her husband own the salon and are extremely unprofessional. I recieved her name after filing a complaint to Aveda corporate. I will also be following up with the board. read more

Thank you for an awesome experience. Such great service, lovely ambience & friendly staff. Just got my hair done & I totally LOVE it! Hita is honest about what looks good and offers recommendations to create a style that matched my face shape & hair texture. Hita takes time to listen to you and I can totally depend on her making me feel and looking my best walking out of the salon. Highly recommend & would definitely return. read more

Well, my other stylist had moved away and I was skeptical about trying someone new. Trust me, I found my person. Went and got my hair cut and styled and am over the moon happy with the results. Lisa was kind, caring, and had a good sense of humor that put my mind at ease. I am 40, I now get carded at the grocery store, lol, and love my new hair style. Go with Lisa at Aveda Kriza and you will be delighted with the results I promise. Thanks a million! read more

Tommy is excellent! He is great at his craft and was attentive to my requests!

I came in (yesterday) Sunday for an appointment and could not have had a worse experience. Naturally I called today and the manager only comes in Thursday - Saturday. The stylist who cut my hair did not listen to what I asked for, and added services to the bill that I did request. He took almost 4 hours to do a simple cut, root touch up, and partial balayage. He ignored my request for shorter length, and dyed the underside of my hair when all I asked for was that he touch up the scattered greys that I have! I was so angry that I forgot to even show the receptionist the first timer coupon that I had downloaded from the website. When I was given the total for my services, the receptionist gave me attitude and said it wasn't her problem, and didn't give me an itemized receipt until after she had charged my card. I have never been so angry leaving a salon before! Who charges $330 for a simple cut and color with sneaky additions to the bill, takes 4 hours, and ignores what you ask for?! NEVER AGAIN. I literally stained the bill with tears as I was leaving because this was bar-none the worst experience I have ever had at a salon. read more

Worst color I have ever had! I think they girl was a student to be honest. She kept having the manager come check her work. It came out extremely brassy and when I mentioned it, the colorist was very defensive, saying "well that's the color you picked". Finally the guy who cut my hair (by the way he did a great job) said he would put a toner in it and agreed that it looked brassy. He said he wasn't going to charge me and they did anyways! Over 300 for a cut and color and then I had to go else where to get a color correct. Beware! read more
