    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.

    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

    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 :)

She listens to me, looks at my inspo, and offers her professional opinion. She's also incredibly fast and kind. She's done a full head of highlights, cut & blow out in a few short hours. She's an artist and a friend. Thank you, Mitra!! The vibe of the whole salon is really friendly and welcoming. I always enjoy my time here. Easy parking across the street and a nice selection of beverages.

I wanted a shorter bob in the back and longer in the front. Since this salon is expensive, I trusted that I would be in professional hands. Unfortunately, my experience with Mitra Jam was extremely disappointing and honestly devastating. The first time she cut my hair, it did not look anything like the haircut I asked for. When I explained that I did not like how it looked, she cut even more trying to "fix" it, and it ended up way too short while still not looking like the style I wanted. I also mentioned that I wanted some volume removed from my hair, but instead of blending it properly, she started cutting random chunks throughout my hair. Now, weeks later, I still have pieces sticking out that are barely about an inch long. There is no way to blend them or style them naturally. I literally have to use gel just to keep those pieces down because they stick out everywhere. I truly believe that if someone is not experienced or confident doing a certain type of haircut, they should not perform it. It is honestly unbelievable to pay this much money and leave with your hair completely ruined. Despite everything, she was kind and told me that if I wanted her to fix anything, I could come back. But realistically, she cannot uncut my hair. I normally do not leave negative reviews, but this experience genuinely affected me and I would not want someone else to go through the same thing.

She was incredibly friendly and personable from the moment we met, making the whole experience feel comfortable and fun. The blowout itself was absolutely amazing, easily a 10/10 and honestly one of the best I've ever had. I loved it right away, but what impressed me even more was how it looked even better as the day went on. I received so many compliments! I'm beyond happy with the results and so excited to have found someone great in the neighborhood. Thank you, Lily! :)

I am very particular. On the morning of my courthouse ceremony, I finally decided to take a chance and booked with Lana Boquitas. I am so freaking glad I did because she ended up being exactly the person I had been looking for. Lana does not just style hair beautifully (even though her work always turns out amazing). She took the time to get to know me, understand my preferences, and figure out what I actually wanted and would feel beautiful in, even when I could not fully explain it. She has styled my hair for events, given me a great blowout (I went to their fun Blowouts & Bellinis event!), and helped me understand which tools and products work best for my personal hair. I feel so much better about my hair thanks to her guidance. On top of her talent, she is a genuinely warm and thoughtful human!! She's so easy to be around. From the moment we met, she felt like someone I had already been friends with. I would trust her with anything when it comes to my hair. If you want a stylist who truly cares and knows her craft, Lana is your girl!!

I had booked her last year around November/December, but I totally kept changing dates due to just having a very busy work/mom schedule. Well the time came and Nancy was so kind to remind me about my appointment. I finally was free and went ahead and got my hair done. It came out soooooo amazing! So many compliments too. When I walked into the salon one the hairdressers greeted me warmly and guided me to sit where Nancy normally works with her clients. I felt really warm vibes immediately. Once Nancy arrived (I arrived extra early) she began her magic. But during the process, the gentle approach and her attentive ability to communicate and lather my hair gently sold me. Usually you're used to being splashed here and there, well my experience with other hair dressers. I was surprised I didn't get much water in my ears which is a problem for me since I have ear sensitivity and I'm just used to getting ready and embracing for the worse. I didn't get a wet back at all and I didn't feel rushed ever. I felt very comfortable and welcomed. Do you know how hard it is to find a hair dresser with great hospitality service? Yeah this one is a gem. I really recommend stopping by or booking with Nancy. 1000/1000.

I drive all the way across the city to see her and it's worth every minute of traffic. She is excellent at her job, very professional, very communicative, easy to collaborate with and so so sweet. A delight to talk to! I feel so comfortable in her chair, and you know, how awkward this particular activity can sometimes be! Jo is a lovely person and a talented stylist. I'm so grateful for this relationship, both with her and with my hair, which she made me love again by knowing just how to deal with all my problem areas. She knows how to take all the fluffy weight out of my otherwise dense and frizzed out hair. I always come out of here feeling lighter and more beautiful than when I walked in. The price feels like a steal for the quality of the workmanship and the joy I feel walking out. They are usually running on schedule and I have rarely had to wait past my appointment time. I find that they are easiest to get ahold of on the phone in the earlier part of the day, and they do call back on left messages, text and respond to yelp appointment requests, which is wonderful. They get very busy during the day and this is a small team, so the service is personal, even when it takes some time to communicate. This shop is bright, airy, comfortable and clean. They always have good music going, and not too loud. The bathroom is spacious and always well appointed. They sell lovely jewelry, crystals, candles and other items, in addition to luxurious hair care products. Parking is very easy, even tho it's only street. There are meters on Lincoln, but I usually park down Marine or one of the other side streets for free, just watch for street sweeping hours.
