This is a nice, cozy hair salon and a home of the best hair stylists I know in town! Susie has been my stylists for over 25 years and she is an absolute gem! The best stylists from The Creative Cuts International including Roselle, Susie, Linda and Julie, reassembled here at Bobo under Roselle's ownership and they created a wonderful place for us to continue experiencing their expert services. It has an atmosphere of casual friendliness, professionalism, prompt services and personal attention! Appointments are highly recommended since these stylists are booked quite in advance but they do their best to accommodate walk-in's when they can! I am very happy with this salon and highly recommend it! read more

Roselle is an incredible stylist like I have never seen before. I hand been bed ridden for several months. My hair was totally out of shape and I looked like a disaster. There's a saying in the business, don't cut twice when you can cut once. Since this was my first time with Roselle, I wasn't sure that she knew what she was doing. Not only did she know what she was doing, but her finished product was perfection. Rosa is simply the best. Roselle is incredible. She knows how to get to the finished product in the shortest amount of time. And she gets it right I have received so many comments on the haircut she did. read more

I've been going to Roselle since my very first haircut, and I can honestly say she is the best stylist I've ever had! She uses excellent technique and always knows exactly how to make my hair look its best. It's clear she's very skilled and pays attention to every detail. The vibe at Bobo Hair Mode is welcoming and comfortable, which makes it easy to sit back and enjoy the experience. My whole family actually goes there too, and we all love Roselle's work. Whether it's a simple trim or a fresh new style, she consistently delivers great quality. read more

They recently relocated and I just had to follow Roselle. I have been her client for years and I absolutely her work! She always knows the exact look I'm looking for and has reasonable prices. They new salon is super cute, clean, and trendy. I highly recommend this hair salon:) read more

Roselle is the best .. very caring . And she really knows the philosophy of true hair styling

I have been coming to Bobo ever since Roselle left Creative Cuts to open up her own salon. Roselle is great. I'm always the type who tries to get an appointment last minute when I look in the mirror and don't like the mop sitting on my head. I've been able to get an appointment the same day or at the very least, the next day. I really enjoy the wash beforehand because depending on the assistant, you get a really nice head massage. Ahh, so relaxing! Makes me almost want to skip the haircut and just hang here for half an hour. I always enjoy chatting and kidding around with Roselle as we crack up about life in general. Getting a haircut here is an enjoyable event. Free coffee and tea and movie magazines while you wait. : ) read more

Bobo Hair Mode - Hair cut time with Roselle - Hair Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

I was really disappointed when I called Creative Cuts and found out that Roselle was no longer working there. Thank goodness for Yelp though, because a quick search brought me to reviews on her new place, Bobo Hair Mode. I called to confirm it was her, and it was! I made a much-needed appointment for myself and mom. I was worried for mom's hair because last time she got it permed at a non-Asian establishment, the girl hadn't permed hair in years and took forever to put the rollers on. It was a nightmare. So who better to perm an Asian lady's hair? Well, another Asian lady and Korean at that. Who knows Asian-mom hair better than Korean people? In my experience and because of all the Korean friends I have, I'm come to learn that the Korean moms always have the most well-kept hair and they pride themselves on health and beauty. So we went in and Roselle greeted us warmly. It was great to see her with her own salon right on Hawthorne and Sepulveda. Parking was easy and plentiful and the salon was bright and clean with a few stations. She's been open since April and seemed to be doing really well. Roselle gave my mom the perm she wanted and really took her time. Her assistant Gina was superfast and jumped in whenever needed. I just got a trim for my long hair for $45 and considering the time they took and the treatment I got, it was well worth it. Mom got a really cute perm and her hair didn't smell afterwards either. The solution they used was a really good quality. I never liked going to Creative Cuts because I felt they were too expensive and the service was never consistent. I'm glad I found Roselle again and definitely consider her "the one" for all my hair needs from now on! read more

Roselle's talent supported the opening her own shop. Along with traditional hair design services, texturing and treatments, Bobo Hair has a fusion of Korean Hair Treatments. Korean Hair Terminology Briefing: -COAT-TING (aka color weave): coating the hair to bring out the shine with the addition of color & pizazz. -BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT (aka Japanese or Keratin Straightener): straightens curly, unruly hair, permanently period. Note: Some non-Asians do some blow drying but in all are happy with the significant decrease in fussy hair. -SET-TING PERM (aka Digital Perm): Gives you the body wave curls, permanently. Like you've just stepped out of a salon when you've actually stepped out of the shower and simply towel-dried your hair. Thank goodness for these hassle free hair technologies! And thank goodness for Roselle's talented hands. My hair is beautiful, has luster and is healthier each time I visit =) I don't know what she's doing but I just leave 'the hair' w/ the professional. When she asks, how long do you want it? I say, just do your thing, Roselle. Moments later, I walk out looking younger, vibrant and smiling. Additionally, Roselle is a talented make-up artist for special occasions. I hired her for my wedding and still smile when I catch a glimpse of our wedding portrait or a photo =) Thank you, Roselle! One more thing! The other hair professionals are experienced and do an awesome job- saw them in action on my first visit. She had an assistant that washed my hair who gave me a mini head massage. Wow- I didn't expect that. Nice! It actually makes driving down there from LA worthwhile. read more

Saw my favorite hair stylist Claudia yesterday! I normally don't take much personal time for myself, so getting a hair cut and style was a nice treat! Claudia is such a down to earth person and understands her clients. It's calming to know that no matter how long I go without maintaining my hair, she always remembers that I am generic in that aspect. Best part, is if I think I want something out of my norm, she brings me back down to reality and tells it like it is. This is a RARE and VALUABLE quality in this day and age! It's not about how much she is making on this session, it is far more important that her clients are happy, comfortable and receive the quality style they came in for. I may be generic, but I am very particular about my hair and cutting it. Thank you again Claudia! I can only say I will try to not wait so long to visit again, but you and I both know it will probably be a minute! Take care! Recently moved to a new location 4809 Torrance BLVD and as always the place looks great! For a Saturday, the parking lot was not too full and I was able to find parking close to the store front. Price is very reasonable, considering you not only get a great cut but a friend in the process. The other hairstylists are courteous and polite, everyone gets greeted upon arrival and exit. The vibe there is better than "like family"! I always make an appointment, so I am unsure if they do walk ins. Just call to verify. Thanks. read more

What can I say, I was 100% satisfied with the way Roselle did my hair!!! I had long damaged hair wanting to get a nice wavy digital perm and it came out more beautiful than I expected! Price was right on and the service was amazing! I rarely go to hair salons because I feel like I cant trust my hair to anyone, but with Roselle, I can totally trust it!! I highly highly recommend this place, I really mean it! read more

Bobo Hair Mode - Love my digital perm! - Hair Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

$20 for a men's cut. I have been going to Roselle for years (on and off since I frequently moved around Socal) before she opened this shop. She's always been great.. very attentive to your style needs and has the skill/experience to execute. I seldom give 5 star reviews. check it out. read more

Roselle did my wedding hair and makeup. 5 stars. I wish I could give more! Hair- Absolutely stunning. I was a fairly simple bride and wanted something elegant but simple, and she did exactly that (picture posted). She intricately weaved and curled and sprayed and styled and my hair matched my dress, my personality, everything. I bought 2 small flower clips from Etsy, and she put those in. My hair lasted all day and stayed put. Roselle also did my mom, mother-in-law, and 4 bridesmaids's hair. Bridesmaids- She picked the style- a simple updo with a braided strand of hair. My girls were so glamorous, even the ones who aren't into the whole hair and make up thing. The hairstyles and makeup were very similar, but some aspects were unique to the girls' looks, length of hair, etc, which we definitely appreciated. My bridesmaids were stunning. Moms- She chose a very natural and elegant updo for the moms. They looked beautiful. Hairs looked clean and intact... even after all the bowing and hugging they did with guests. Makeup- She had an assistant and they made a great team. Again, my moms and bridesmaids looks absolutely beautiful. Makeup was natural and brought out the best parts of our faces. You know some makeup artists completely change your face, but it wasn't like that all. They took an appropriate amount of time and care with my makeup. Again, so very natural and stayed put all day. Roselle knew I wasn't really a big fan of makeup to begin with, and she put just the right amount. I must say, she made me a beautiful bride. Roselle's work was highly admired by my wedding guests. Very flattering in wedding pictures. Truly couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Roselle!!!!!!! P.S. Great staff who constantly took care of our needs, private free parking lot, comfy couch, many magazines, tea, coffee, snacks, soothing music.. the whole package. read more

Bobo Hair Mode - Roselle's masterpiece!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

See all

This morning my hair was an unmanageable nest of dried out fuzzy mess. I saw Roselle and she fixed it. I was in and out in an hour and a half, and had cut, color and hair treatment, blow dry and straightening all included. Very happy. I used to go to Roselle when she worked at Creative Cuts Intl. I loved her work. I lost touch with her when she moved to her own studio, then I moved away and went through numerous questionable stylists on my travels. I was soooooo pleased to find Roselle had opened this studio and am delighted to say she's still as wonderful as ever. Really nice person, and really efficient, artistic and stylish skills. It's been sooo long since I've not had an anxiety attack in the stylist chair. Thanks Roselle for a great experience all around,and see you in six weeks! read more

Bobo Hair Mode - Colored, cut and Japanese hair treatment by Roselle. Very happy. My hair looked like a giant fuzz ball before I went in this morning. - Hair Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

Yeah, she is nice, yeah, they have customer service , BUT a bad haircut and a increase in a quota price is what you will get. I called and ask for the price for a wave and told her my hair length. She said haircut is included. Everything was great until the end-the final result. She cut my hair way too short and layered it too much where the wave flips out. She said she had to give me a soft wave but forgot to mention that it was $20 more. I didn't ask for the soft wave. I just wanted a wave-as if I know what the difference between a soft wave and a regular wave is? I could deal with a too short of a cut but the price difference made it feel like a scam to me. She just wanted my money. If I could do it differently, I would have confirmed the price with her again before the wave. read more

If I had to make a list of the most pleasant people I know or have ever met, Roselle would definitely rank among the top of that list, right alongside Jon Brion, Giada De Laurentiis, Ray Park, and anyone who ever bought me a beer. Now I know what most guys would be thinking about a place like this, because I used to have the exact same thought: "Why in the hell would you pay more than $12 for a haircut? A haircut's a haircut..." Let me stop you right there, chief, because you are SO WRONG! ***Rewind to 4 Years Ago*** [Gloomy skies, overcast, high chance of thunderstorms] Back in the day, my world was limited to the confines of Supercuts, Fantastic Sams, Great Clips, Not So Great Clips, and, well you get the picture. I'd go in, give the person cutting my hair a 6-word summary of how I wanted it done (typically: please cut my hair shorter, kthx), and in like 10 minutes I'm outta there. Just plain whatevs. ***Skip forward to the AWESOME present*** [Sunshine, rainbows, with a strong chance of a unicorn parade] At Bobo Hair Mode, it's a whole different experience. You go in, you get your hair expertly washed/shampooed, there's tea and water available, a coat rack, you take your seat...holy crap that reminds me, I think the seats here deserve a separate Yelp review because they're THAT COMFY...but anyway, as I was saying - so you take your seat, get a hair assessment, and then Roselle carefully styles your hair into a work of masterful art. WTF, pretty freakin' awesome, right? I know, that's why I still go here and have never looked back...except in the mirror to see HOW AWESOME I LOOK!!! ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. Oh yeah, they also sell some pretty sweet products here that you can't buy at your everyday store. I personally dig the Redken "Work Hard" molding paste and also the Spice Sisters freeze wax. Although a bit pricey (~$17), those products have allowed my hair to withstand everything from hurricanes, zombie outbreaks, and even the Tunguska event. I plan on stocking up again before the end of 2012 and recommend you do the same. read more

My boss told me a couple of years ago to stop going to supercuts for my hair cuts and go somewhere nicer. I took his advice and booked an appointment at Creative Cuts and was handed over to Roselle. Wow I am glad I did! Long story short, Roselle left Creative Cuts and now owns Bobo Hair Mode. What I gave up in terms of money, I gained in consistency, and quality. You really get what you pay for! I can generally get an appointment with her within 1-3 days of when I call, and Roselle does pretty a pretty nifty job on my mop. (don't look at my pictures, you won't see any recent photos of my hair) I usually go in knowing what I want, and Roselle does it. Sometimes I tell her to do what she feels like and it comes out nice! She is also a great person to talk to, time really flies when you're there Some minor details: super comfy hair washing chairs, comfy styling chairs, free cofee/tea/water while you wait, and a pretty up to date music selection. As long as I'm in the south bay I'm going to keep going to Roselle. There are also 2-3 other stylists that occupy stations here. the lowdown: guys haircut - $30 + tip read more

I'm hesitant to write this review because I love Roselle sooo much, and I don't ever want her to get overwhelmed and overbooked! But I'm also so happy for her and her new salon. The place is great, it's in a roomy corner lot with tons of parking. The interior is roomy but unpretentious. No frills and sparkles, just good people. Roselle did my wedding hair in a vintagey 50s-ish style, it was awesome. Then I went back for more haircuts, and it was awesome. Then I converted my husband to get his haircut there, and it was awesome. He's even pickier than I, and he loved it and everyone else commented on how great it was. I asked Roselle to trim my bangs as a quickie, and she took thirty seconds to cut the perfect bangs. She is GOOD. She knows what she's doing. That's why she deserves her own salon! What I also like is that she really takes into account your needs, like how much time you want to play with your hair each day, what is best for your head shape / face shape, etc. I've never tried the other stylists, but the assistants are always very attentive and friendly. Not to mention...BOBO is the name of my late bunny, that I loved very much. I think Bobo Hair Mode + me are meant to be. ;) read more

Please come to Bobo for your hair cut! The staff here is absolutely wonderful, accommodating, friendly, helpful, and understanding of what you're looking for in your haircut, style, color, etc. I go and see CLAUDIA and have been for almost 6 years now and she is AMAZING. Yes, this place is a little more pricey but honestly if you want a great hair cut you should be willing to splurge a little more for better results. They take their time! I always spend about an hour and a half (mostly due to how long and thick my hair is) at a time. They will wash your hair, give you a nice scalp massage, cut, dry, and style your hair using their top of the line products. I have never had a product or shampoo/conditioner used on me that didn't leave my hair smelling WONDERFUL. I've even loved some of the products so much that I purchase them to use at home. They actually sell the products they use on your hair at the store! Gift cards are available as well to this location! read more

Roselle isn't who she appears to be I thought she was a kind person but she's just money hungry. Last time I was there she rushed me through my haircut to get to this white guy who didn't even have an appointment. She ruined my hair it was all uneven and she allowed this other Korean lady to help style my hair who was new. The new lady had a a poor understanding of English. I never came back after that. A friend of mine had a similar experience with her, she rushed through the haircut to get to another white person and ruined her haircut. It's sad to see Roselle change as a person I thought she was a sweet person but I was wrong. read more

Love them! My office is right upstair so I want to try them when they first openned.... AWESOME! Lvoe my cut, my color and the SHINE! I am very well taken care of from the moment I walk in the door. They are respectful and friendly. Last time the cut my hair I was stopped in the grocery store and thankfully I had on eof thier cards on me!!! read more

Roselle is making Torrance a beautiful city! She's been styling my hair for three years now and she has never disappointed!! She is a true artist with great cutting, design and people skills! So happy for her opening her own salon! read more

I've been getting haircuts with Roselle for the past decade and have followed her to various salons throughout this time. So happy she has opened Bobo again! Roselle is an expert at working with hair, specifically my oftentimes finicky Asian hair; she's got a great eye and attention to detail. I also had my hair and makeup done with her for an engagement shoot and I loved how everything turned out. She'll make sure you're happy and satisfied with your look before leaving her salon and she's also easy to chat with and super sweet. read more

I have to say I've been to many places to get my haircut in the Torrance/Gardena, and am really happy about finding Bobo Hair Mode(Roselle). She has been cutting hair forever and is hilarious! It's always good to chat with her and get a professional cut. I've been to about 4-5 different places around Torrance / Gardena, and I would definitely recommend Roselle. Although, make sure you make an appointment! I swear I can never get the right times with her because she's always so busy. I see a lot of reviews from females, but guys don't worry Roselle is quite good! Definitely listen to her expertise if you want to try a new trend, or not sure about what kind of new style you'd like to try. That's what I do usually! read more

Bobo Hair Mode - BOBO Hair Salon is the best and make you look good and awesome - Hair Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

I'm a guy. As a teen I used to go to Supercuts but they never did the greatest job and for years after that I just got really fed up and shaved my head. Fast forward a few years and I'm tired of looking like a monk. I tried Roselle and she did a really great job. I've been going for more than a year and am really glad she got her own place because she's a really nice person as well. This place is less expensive than where she used to work, just make sure you make an appointment because they're a little short on stylists at the moment. read more

Roselle is gorgeous. She is very knowledgeable and does a great job. Very welcoming and courteous to all guests. The girls that shampoo though should give a head massage while shampooing because that is what top salons do. So if they want a better tip that would be my suggestion. read more

I'm so glad that a friend referred me to Roselle. She is quick and skillful at cutting my hair. She's very knowledgable about what type of hairstyle would look well on me and which color would compliment my skin tone. My 7-year old daughter enjoys coming here as well as it makes her feel like a princess after she gets her hair cut. Price is reasonable for high quality service. Roselle and her assistant are kind and take really good care her clients. Roselle is the best hair stylist I've ever had! UPDATE: Roselle now works at Hair Magic down the same street. I'm happy to say that she still does my hair. She's really cool and I'm so glad that I got to know her over the years. read more

Roselle and her team did an amazing job! I was one out of four bridesmaids and bride that got our hair and makeup done. To be honest, with the makeup, I was afraid that they might make my face look I had a white mask on. However, they do an excellent job making sure the makeup looks natural and true to your tone. The makeup itself was natural and accentuated our natural features. I also admired how she did our hair. It was a very elegant updo, that was not over-the-top, but at the same time you can tell it was professionally done. Roselle has a very accommodating, gentle personality. At the same time, I can tell she creates a vision for each client and follows it through exquisitely. read more

I tried this salon because it is open on weekends. The prices are outrageous-and when I asked to have my hair done differently Roselle got mad at me!! Customer service is definitely not something they have at this salon! I will never return again!! read more

While she was a nice person the pricing was misleading. Called and got quoted $55 for an Up-do. Went in person the following day and was quoted $55 for an up-do from a receptionist that spoke perfect English. I made an appointment and went in and saw Roselle (the proprietor). She did a good job. Then when it was time to pay Roselle rang me up at the register. She said it was $65. We mentioned that we were quoted $55. She said we probably misunderstood their accent when we got quotes. I didn't tip because I was mad. Apparently it is a common occurrence at Korean hair salons from from what I've read at other reviews. I suggest confirming price in writing/print before going. read more

I heard about Bobo from my boyfriend, who has been a loyal client of Roselle's for a very long time. And with all the hype on yelp, I was convinced to stop by in my latest visit to LA from NY. Roselle was such a delight. I had a good consultation with her and was very thorough on what I wanted to do with my hair. I'm a very simple person so I asked for clean layers (not the shaggy cut) along with dark ash-brown highlights to soften my super black Asian hair. The cut was spot-on. She kept the length I wanted and gave me nice relaxed layers. However, the coloring was another story. The highlights came out very very VERY blonde. I addressed the problem and was taken care of right away. It still came out lighter than we had talked about but its not too bad :T Also I don't know if its an LA thing, but I didn't expect to pay as much as I did for a hair cut and some coloring. Twice the cost of what I pay in NYC. All in all, this trip to the salon wasn't a complete disaster but it was definitely a miss for me. Keep in mind to shell out some $$, and don't be afraid to express (repeatedly if necessary) what you want EXACTLY. Oh, and service is GREAT! read more

Very sad to say that I tried Roselle's makeup for a wedding I attended and have never been so disappointed in all my life, esp after the review below. A yelper posted this on Creative Cuts International's yelp page in 2008 and this is why I went to her for makeup: TEXT OF SOMEONE'S REVIEW OF ROSELLE IN 2008: Thank god I had the good fortune of discovering Roselle just weeks before my wedding. I went through several bridal trial makeups recommended by online reviews, from Brea to West LA, but none topped Roselle's flawless makeover. I completely transformed to a beauty queen on my wedding day. I would have paid her 4 digit price if she asked for it. I have very sensitive skin and eye allergies. But she didn't make me tear up with lashes or eyeliners, and it was very early in the morning when I wasn't even fully awake. She was fully prepared, very fast and professional, finished my makeup under one hour. Pow wow~ work of a genius... At my wedding, first question every girl asked me was, "Who did your makeup?? It's gorgeous.. " Even my vendors asked for my makeup artist's name. I was so amazed that my eyeliners, fake lashes, and everything were still perfectly intact hours later, even after my many emotional cries. My friends and sisters all agreed my makeup was the BEST work they've ever seen in any weddings. However, you may have to make a special request to book with Roselle for makeup because her main specialty is hair styling. My last hair cut with her was FANTABULOUS. REST OF MY REVIEW: Bottom line is, I wasn't transformed into a beauty queen or anything close to it. After paying all that money I had to go home and do my makeup myself because what she did for me was pretty much non-existent. Fortunately I allowed myself extra time in case this happened; Roselle just put a little foundation on my face and a few false eyelashes and that was it. SOOOO disappointing! read more

Overcharged and unsatisfied! Wanted my hair blonde so i went for a color,I came here for the high reviews I had virgin hair so color lifted fast,they recommend me a toner so it wont look too yellow the toner was an extra $50 which was insane and after the toner it looked the same my color was only blonde in the ends and a reddish brown color on the top,they rushed the application process and rushed me to get out and didn't even blow dry my hair !! I left with my hair damp and frizzy and I will never trust high reviews and never come here again read more

Roselle is AMAZING! She's always so pleasant and always gives me good advice on how to make my hair look its best. I'm always super happy with my haircuts and since they blowdry/straighten your hair along with the cut, my hair looks super amazing that day. It's $45 for haircuts, which I don't think is too bad at all, considering I've paid more than that at other places and have been way less satisfied in the past. The salon also offers complimentary water/tea/coffee and there's plenty of parking in the surrounding parking lot. Appointments are easy to book too, I usually call ahead and get an appointment within the next few days without a problem. read more

Linda did my eyelashes and they came out so wonderful! The salon is very clean and trendy, plus all the stylists are extremely nice! The stylists are very through with their sanitation during and after the service as well. I will definitely be back for my fills read more

My stylist, Cindy, moved here from another salon across town. Cindy is fabulous! Cindy is great with color and highlights, especially on Asian hair. It took a few times for her to find the right color for me, but that's true of most hairdressers. This is a beautiful and very clean salon in Torrance with lots of parking. The owner, Roselle, is warm and welcoming, so the vibe is great. They serve coffee and tea. They take walk-ins too! read more

Hello! Just wanted to give a shout out that Bobo hair salon has moved! I just saw Roselle in her new salon at 4809 Torrance Blvd. ! Go check it out! read more

Ive been going to Roselle for years, so of COURSE I followed her when she opened her own salon. Its a lovely, cute place. She and her staff are very friendly and take care of you from the moment you walk in, to the very end. It is high quality care, for a reasonable price. She makes you feel welcome and at home, like an old friend. Love it! read more

I got a digital perm here. The owner Roselle is a very nice Korean lady and the salon is clean and neat. But I don't think she completely understood what I wanted my cut and perm to be, so she did it with her own understanding. The cut turned out too short and the perm average. If you want your normal/daily style hair cut, this is a good place. But if you want something stylish and young, I won't recommend here. read more

FINALLY a hairstylist who understands about the quirks of Asian hair. Roselle is great and she and her staff are very friendly. I've had lots of compliments on my hair and SO appreciate their low-key, relaxing atmosphere. read more
