    Lara and Luna

    I've been going to Lara for a year + now. She's literally the best. Amazing cuts. Takes her time. Basically the 45 minute + haircut flies by as we're just sitting and laughing the entire time. She's also amazing to my dog and always has a treat for her when I come in. Can't recommend Lara enough. You won't be disappointed!

    In LA for a black tie wedding, and wanted a fresh haircut for the event. I walked in with no appointment, and the staff could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. A nice drink and a comfortable place to sit made the very short wait pleasant.

    My haircut

    So, I called this spot to get a haircut same-day, they let me know on arrival that typically I should book three weeks out. But, they could see me in five minutes. I came in, jumped in the seat, admittedly, didn't need much of a cut because I'm growing my hair out. So, I asked him to just clean up the sides above the ears and he did it. No fade, no complicated haircut. He told me he was finished, didn't clean up my eyebrows, clean up my face at all, and when I asked for him to clean them up he told me he didn't have enough time and that would be $80. Mind you, I don't mind the price, but the experience was pretty shotty. No shampoo or attempt to even clean up loose hair on shorts or shirt. I did get a sparkling water, and they had some cool tattoos that made them look kind of bad ass. I guess. I asked why it was so expensive and they said they have a lot of talented barbers, maybe I didn't have enough time, but then why even seat me? Three week wait sounds weird. I could of had someone come to my house and cut my hair for $100 and it would of been unrushed and bomb. Just a waste of money. If the experience was there I'd be back. Active Barber is $40, with tip I pay $60. A much better experience though. Barber was nice. 20 min haircut. Having to ask to clean up the hair on my face; eyebrows, beard line..I mean they do it with a razor blade at good spots. Didn't even do it without me asking...I'd say cut was rushed, no attention to detail and quasi shifty. Quality of space there, coffee machine is nice. Vibe, off a lot for the price. I give it a two because of the aesthetics of the location. Only redeeming quality.

    Brought my 15 year old son here for a much needed haircut... Michelle was awesome did a fantastic job at fixing his Covid hair (bad haircuts from mom during the pandemic ) the ambiance and decor was great will definitely be coming back. The cappuccino was a plus!!! You get a really good discount for new clients

    Rude personel Not sure the owner is aware . Also, prices are astronomical, and haircuts are not that good.

    Jake is a phenomenal barber. I have been using him exclusively for about a year. He is always on time and his cuts are great.

    What is the price for a men haircut and any student discount?

    The rate varies depending upon who is cutting your hair. I go to Jason Schneidman who owns the salon and he charges $125. It's worth it and I don't have that much hair :)

    I was referred to Tory by a friend and have been coming to her for years now and there's no one…read moreelse I can go to for my brows! When it comes to anything skin care or beauty related I'm big on referrals and once I find someone I love I'm locked in. Her studio is super cute, intimate, welcoming, and vibey located in Santa Monica (just off the cusp) on Main Street. She provides detailed instructions on how to find her location (as it is tucked away) in the confirmation email you receive for your appointment once you book and parking recommendations are included as well with specific recommendations on her time policy. Client appointments are short increments so if you are running 10 mins late for your appointment (with a restaurant resy this would be fine), you're going to eat into her next clients appointment time which is why she specifically states her time policy in the confirmation email - which I respect. Quality of work is top-tier - the shape of my eyebrows has drastically improved since seeing Tory (post overplucking era in my younger years - don't do it kids). My skin is quite sensitive so I get the tweezing add-on when I go in for a wax and I love getting a stain for special occasions. I also really appreciate that although she has some celeb and influencer clients she still keeps an open schedule for us regular shmegular people and is super chill and down to earth. She books up during the holidays so schedule asap if you're looking at your calendar!

    I've struggled with asymmetric eyebrows my entire life. Trying to get them both to look as similar…read moreas possible but one was never growing out in the correct shape. I had been following Tory on Instagram for a while now and I finally decided to make the apt and see her! She was just such a sweetheart and really listens to you when you share your concerns. She pointed out that I have very fine scars on my problematic eyebrow and explained that's why I haven't been having any hair growth there. I've tried every salon out there and not a single person pointed out to me that I had eyebrow scars...so we continued with the lamination and I told her I wanted a very natural precise shape since my eyebrows are already thick just so I can have them looking more identical in shape. When I tell you...after the first 24 hours of getting my eyebrows laminated. I woke up with tears of joy. She made my eyebrows both look PERFECT. If perfection is what you're looking for ...Tory is that and more. I cannot thank her enough for fixing my life-long struggle. I have not stopped receiving compliments on my eyebrows !! THANK YOU SO MUCH TORY!

    Cristina is by far the best, most reliable, and consistent brow artist ever. It also helps that…read moreshe's the sweetest soul and is so enjoyable that time goes by so fast whenever I have an appointment with her, even though she allocates plenty of time for every single one of her clients. I have never felt like a single appointment was rushed at all, and you can see that in her work. The first time I went to her (almost five years ago) she cleaned up the strays, and when she got into the actual shaping of the brows, she had me hold a mirror and hold it up between every single hair she plucked until I had my perfect brow shape. She doesn't have a "signature brow" that some people give every one of their clients, she truly is an artist that has vision and works with your natural brow shape, your features, and your preferences. She takes her time and makes sure you are always genuinely happy before walking out of her studio. Secondly, I mentioned that I have been coming to Cristina for almost five years now and the important thing with that is CONSISTENCY. So so so important but sadly very rare, so Cristina is truly one of a kind. In five years, I have never once been unhappy leaving her studio and have never felt that she has gotten comfortable enough with me and in my loyalty to her to not care about the work she's doing. She genuinely cares about every one of her clients and the work that she's putting her name on. Lastly, this studio is BEAUTIFUL! Aside from it being aesthetically perfect, it is so clean and of course how she works is always super clean and sterile. Cristina is the best. I am extremely particular about my eyebrows and face in general and since I have started coming to her, I have not let another person touch my face at all, and I guarantee that'll be the case for anyone that gets any service from her, she'll quickly become your go to for everything.

    Cristina at EsthetiX has completely upgraded how I take care of my skin. She helped me put together…read morea routine that is realistic and affordable, every facial is customized to what my skin needs that day; steam, high-frequency, LED light therapy, the works. I have been back multiple times and always leave feeling refreshed and glowing. The space is calm, clean, and welcoming, and the overall vibe at EsthetiX makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you're looking to step up your skincare game.

    I enjoy my services EVERY time I come. EWC is always my first stop when running my Friday morning…read moreerrands and I couldn't imagine starting my day any other way. T greets me with the biggest smile and truly sets the tone for the entire center. Savanna is my girl and somehow makes a torturous experience, pleasant. 10's across the board!

    Do not do business with them, total scam artists. They are trying to sell "memberships" for wax…read moreservices but will not provide a receipt or a copy of the contrac. I'm not in the habit of giving money to anyone without an understating of what I have bought. I called to get a copy and they said the only thing they could send me was an electronic link to a live document. I said I would like a paper receipt or a pdf via email and they said they couldn't do that. Do not do business with them! I had one complimentary new customer wax and after it was done I gave them my credit card and attempted to sign up for a membership. I cancelled this membership as soon as I was told they couldn't provide me with a receipt. Since then they have charged me $180 on my credit card without my consent. I have called consistently to rectify this with the company directly but there is never a manager available and the call centers can only email someone to call you back. After 36 days of calling the marina del rey locations phone , I have finally spoken with their manager or owner Ashely. She is a dense woman who does not understand business or the basics of a vendor providing a customer with a receipt of payment. (I now understand where their hapless business acumen is coming from as I have just spoken with the head dummy and boy is she terrible.) I have had to call my credit card to have my money refunded and block them from using my credit card. If you do need to go here, pay cash and do not give them your credit card, as they will use it arbitrary without your consent. I have had ONE new customer wax service and will never ever go back because of this terrible experience. Super scam! Zero stars / negative review (five zeros!)
