Heard about this place through a friend. I love the space I felt very comfortable. I found easy parking on the street out front. Malina was very sweet and gave my long hair a refresh. I have a lot of hair with natural wave texture. She took her time and gave me exactly what I asked for. I will definitely be coming back to her for my next cut. read more

First time at this salon but sadly will not be returning. I feel hesitant writing this review because my stylist Malina was very sweet but I left feeling mixed about my experience. The interior of the salon is gorgeous and everyone seemed friendly, however. To start, my appointment was set for 12:15 but my stylist was still finishing the client before, so I had to wait 15 minutes to be seen. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but it didn't leave the best first impression. Then when we were talking about what I wanted to achieve, I showed her reference photos and told her I wanted to even out my layers and keep the bottom length while refreshing and trimming the layers to look like a reference photo I brought. She insisted that I tell her the specific length I wanted off of my layers and I told her I wasn't sure what the exact measurements would be. I'm not a hair stylist and usually when I get my hair done my stylists don't have an issue giving suggestions during the consultation or using the reference images to gauge what to do, but she kept saying I needed to know the specific length to tell her to cut. Ultimately I ended up telling her one inch and she proceeded with trimming my hair. Once she styled my hair at the end, I noticed that there was quite a disconnect from my bottom layer with my top sections. The bottom layer looked uneven to me and unblended. It seemed too thick and stuck out from the top layers. I also explained to her that I have a perm that is growing out, and it looked a bit off after she had styled it. The top part was frizzy to me and the bottom looked choppy to me but she just trimmed some more while saying that the layers are actually all blended together, but it's just because of my grown out perm. I added a picture of my hair that is washed and dried at home to compare and it still looks unblended to me. read more

Bang Bang LA was able to fit me in last minute, which I really appreciated. Malina was kind throughout my appointment. Unfortunately, after leaving and looking at my hair again, my bangs are still uneven. I paid extra for the haircut and was not satisfied with the final result. I was in a rush and didn't want to keep asking for adjustments, but looking at my hair now, I'm not satisfied. I also found it difficult to get in touch afterward to come back. I still left a generous tip because Malina was so pleasant to work with, but I wish there had been more attention to detail with the haircut and communication. read more

Meg is a miracle worker! I was just wanting a long cut, and she gave me exactly what I wanted - wispy bangs, face framing layers, and more movement in my long hair. The new salon is SO cute! And I love that they bring their dogs definitely my new go-to salon! read more

Shoutout Michael and Buddy Incredibly welcoming environment and I'm in love with my haircut! Definitely coming back! read more

Have I ever gotten a better haircut? No! Or had a beter conversation while getting my haircut? No, again!

I've been really happy with my haircuts from Michael! I have a LOT of hair, and it can be tricky for me to find someone who can take enough of the weight out without making the layers look wonky. I always love the way my hair looks after Michael cuts it. And I appreciate that I can just go in with clean hair and get a dry cut, without needing to do a wash and style, which saves a lot of time when you have this much hair. He's also really laidback guy with nice energy, and his dog is cute too! read more

I'm a huge fan of Michael Lee. He's an artist and is equally talented doing short & long cuts. Very laid back vibe while also being hyper attentive to detail. I'd highly recommend him to anyone. read more

Gillian is amazing!! She knows what I want and she is great at what she does:) will definitely come back if I need to get my hair done. The place is super cute as well read more

Been coming to see Michael for years. This spot has good vibes and is in a great location

Gillian is the best! She's so communicative, skilled and really pays attention to detail. This salon, and Gillian have now become my go-to when I need anything done to my hair. read more

Have since found a more local barber shop but wanted to give my shoutout to this place! Joyce Landicho was my stylist and helped me to embrace my non-binary gender identity. As a fellow Filipinx QPOC she understood what I was asking for and gave me the cut I was seeking for so long so I could express the way I felt inside. Thanks again Joyce! The rest of the stylists and patrons also appear to be majority QPOC and alternative so the vibe is so welcoming if you're looking for a queer affirming place to get your haircut. Payment via Venmo. Ample street metered parking. Right by CHLA. Give Bang Bang a try you will not be disappointed! read more

Gillian went literally above and beyond to make sure my vision for my hair was as close to perfect as she could get it. The haircut was perfect and I have perfect layers and great movement now. It was an awesome experience and will definitely be going back to her!! read more

Like many of us, I've had my hair cut by many. But Kit has, every time, left me feeling stoked about my hair outcome. So many times I've been left with crappy haircuts but never with Kit. Kit listens and is so attentive - which translates through the haircut. Also- super dope to have a safe space and a queer hair stylist to make me feel at home read more

Make sure to see Kit for your hair needs. She always listen to me and makes sure I leave the salon 100% satisfied. Kit has been cutting and dying my hair for nearly 7 years, wherever she goes I follow because it's hard to find someone as caring compassionate, professional and affirming as kit shields!! read more

Casey has been cutting my hair for years and always does a phenomenal job. I have really curly hair and in the past have rarely found anyone who knows how to cut my hair, not to mention adding any innovative ness to my cut. I just had a baby so I was definitely looking for something more lively. Lots of layers that flatter my face and a beautiful color go a long way! Did I mention my hair grows lightning fast whenever she cuts my hair! She has a green thumb but for hair! :) Thank you! Xo read more

I really like this salon. It's bright, airy and open which would be great pre-pandemic, but the stylists really went out of their way to guarantee a safe space when they've been allowed to operate during COVID. Thanks so much for their hard work, and huge shout out to my go-to Casey! She's amazing, diligent, and is just incredible with hair! Miss you guys and and I can't wait to hit the salon again when we've got the all-clear! And seriously, these guys have felt safer than the grocery stores and pharmacies combined, and I really appreciated it! read more

This is a really cute salon with great employees. If you don't believe me, check out their Instagram page: bangbang.la to see all the great cuts. My appointments are always with Casey. I love how I can show her a picture and she will honestly tell me what would and wouldn't work for my hair. This is the feedback you need to hear when looking for the next great cut. I am never disappointed and always receive compliments. If you love short hair, you need to check out Casey. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. Just be sure to bring a pic along. I recommend creating a Pinterest board so she can see all the cuts you like and work her magic. read more

Christina is the best barber ever. Her skill is phenomenal and her passion for hair and barbering is outstanding. The best skin fades in LA come from Christina Mack. She's the only barber/stylist that can turn my hair from brown to platinum in one appointment. Not to mention she is a wonderful human that makes all of her clients feel safe and comfortable. You have to book your next appointment with Christina! She's literally the best!! Also - this salon is so gorgeous, well maintained and every stylist at this location has years of experience behind the chair. Whatever type of hair you're looking for, someone at this salon will know how to achieve your dream hair. I highly recommend Bang Bang LA read more

Gwyneth is amazing! She's been cutting my hair for years and is the only stylist who gets it right. She's also done a great job with my color too. I've been seeing her for short cuts for many years (pre-pandemic when she was at a different salon), and I'm so glad she's at BangBangLA now. The vibe of this shop is warm, welcoming, and relaxed. All the stylists are professional and highly skilled and each one has a loyal following, so that should tell you all you need to know. read more

Kit is just gorgeous. My husband and I don't want to go anywhere else. She's quick and precise, and she always gets what we want!

Today was my first time getting a haircut here. Casey gave me an awesome haircut and was super easy to talk to. My hair is short and Casey really did a good job working with my texture and interpreting my request. read more

Kit is amazing! Always a cute cut and great conversation. I've literally never had my hair cut by anyone else in LA. Highly recommended.

When I moved from NYC, one of my favorite things I left behind was my queer barbershop. Finding Kit at Bang Bang has completely filled that void. Kit is incredibly sweet and brilliant. She really listened to what I wanted. I love my cut and color and couldn't be happier. Cannot recommend her enough!! read more

I was a bit hesitant to go during the pandemic but glad I did! The salon is very spacious with very high ceilings so it feels very open. Not that it mattered because after about 15 minutes it was just Casey and I left in there for the rest of the appointment. Needless to say, I had no concern regarding social distancing and them following protocols. I saw the stylist who left right after I arrived thoroughly clean her station and disinfect. I've been going to Casey for about 4 years and she's fabulous! Always helps me decided on a cut that I'm happy with. She's a pro and so easy to get along with that she may become your friend! read more

I love this salon! I love getting my haircut with Casey. I've gone through many different hairstyles & I'm always satisfied how it turns out. read more

My roommate has been seeing Christina (@hairz_by_mzmack) for a while now. She always comes home with amazing and clean fades and - most importantly - a huge confidence. Her powerful attitude lasts just as long as the cut does. Flash forward to my experience: sat socially distanced with a "long hair, don't care" quarantine got me going no where attitude as I watched my roommate get her fade. Christina, who is the most friendly and welcoming person, starting asking about my hair. She offered to stay after and give me a cut. She was able to cut my (thinning) hair in a way that was shorter but still long enough to coif up. The cut was probably one of the best I have ever received. As the weeks passed, it grew in perfectly and STILL looks good. Kicking myself that I didn't see Christina before shutdown #986 in LA but, girl!, I will be back as soon as I am allowed to. Last note: I observed the other stylists in the minimalist and chic salon. Everyone seemed to have such a great rapport with whoever was the in the chair. It was a very comfortable, welcoming, and positive space to be in. Highly recommend. read more

I recently visited Bang Bang LA and left feeling like a million bucks! The salon was inviting, super clean and beautiful. My sister referred me to Casey and I'm so glad that she did! I went to Casey with a butchered haircut and she is an absolute miracle worker. She gave me a total makeover haircut and I have never felt so happy with a haircut before. She made the whole experience comfortable and fun. I can't wait to go see her again! read more

I don't usually write reviews but I have to tell the world about Casey!!! If you have curly hair she is THE ONE. I used to cry every single time I got my hair cut because it was hard to find someone who wouldn't butcher my curls. As a non-binary person, it is also extremely difficult to find someone who is able to truly listen to you and give you a cut that feels "right." When I had to keep a fresh fade to feel good, Casey killed it. Now that I'm embracing my feminine side, Casey is helping me rock a cute short bob. She has really helped me along my hair journey and her cuts always make me feel more comfortable in my skin. And PARENTS- she does amazing kid cuts. Especially you parents with kids on the rainbow spectrum. Confidence booster for sure! read more

Kit is simply the best - hands down! Not only is she an amazing barber with a great sense of style, she's passionate about her work and really just about everything that she does. Always on point and a great conversationalist to boot, getting a haircut with Kit is something I look forward to every time. read more

Kit is my go-to; she's great at knowing what you want even when you yourself don't. She's also great to talk to and will make sure you love your cut! read more

Let's start talk about Michael Lee and his team. Walk in, energy, comfortable, welcoming. Michael has been doing my hair for 9 years and I have never cheated on him. It's hard for me to trust anyone with my hair. I will wait till I can get in there. If you have not been in the Bang Bang LA? You got to book and go in.... read more

I regularly visit Kit at Bang Bang LA. She is the only barber/ hair stylist I can visit and relax knowing that I'll leave with a haircut I love. Her skill level is humbling and her attention to detail cannot be matched. I recommend her to everyone because her work is so personalized and thoughtful. read more

This salon is the place to be. Christina has been cutting my hair for about 3 years now and I followed her to this salon. The vibe in this place no matter who you are is nothing but welcoming and positive vibes only. Being a female and looking for a place that has barbers can be tough. Look no further this place has it. As well as many stylist who can cut and color. (Christina just be giving me all the fades) During these awful covid times this place does it all to make their clients feel safe while continuing to look their best.
