When my hairstylist began her 4-month-long maternity leave, I dreaded the job of finding someone to…read morecut my very thick, short , weird hair (one size grows straight out, and the other grows straight down.). I considered and contacted 5 salons on Yelp. Swanky Salon owner Melissa, understood my concern best - she responded right away saying she had two stylists who specialize in cutting short hair. Would I like to make an appointment? Well, I just came home delighted with a beautiful cut by Irene. She got me immediately. AND is also such a lovely human being -- just an all round pleasure. And that includes Melissa and the whole staff at Swanky -- I recommend this salon and Irene without reservation!

I set up a project via yelp and asked for a single process and highlight specialist and I was really happy with the response I received from the salon so I made an appointment and I came with my toddler. The second I met Irene I fell in love with her. Not only if she's such a skilled and talented, stylist and colorist, but she really has such an amazing rapport with children. She invited my daughter to taste some Girl Scout cookies, and then gave us the contents of the box! My hair was a complete mess in terms of my highlights, growing out my length my roots everything. Irene took her time and created a masterpiece, and now I feel like I can run for president with his hair!

I had my wedding at the Westlake Village in back in June. A wedding day is supposed to be one of…read morethe best days of your life and it certainly was - thanks to Debbie. She and her team did hair for me, all of my bridesmaids, and my mother. Between the 10 of us- that's a lot of hair! But Debbie's team wasn't phased in the slightest. Every one of my bridesmaids looks so gorgeous and they each had a different hair style. Debbie and her team put long 20 inch extensions in my hair and did a beautiful half up/half down style. I have never felt more beautiful. A few of my girls even had their hair still wet- not a problem for Debbie! She was quick to blow dry the hair and style without breaking a sweat. All of us (9 people including a bride) were finished with time to spare before the wedding. Debbie is amazing, considerate, and unbelievably efficient that I will recommend her fully without reservations. She is simply the best!

Especially having such an exclusive clientele. (I won't be going elsewhere) He asked some basic questions and I told him, "I trust you-- please do what ever you think would suit me best." I couldn't have picked out a more perfect cut & color. The color is a glam version of my natural color, with beautiful variety and texture. It's so chic yet natural. Do you ever feel like you can't quite style it as nicely as after a cut and color?! No more! The products Billy recommended are fantastic. I absolutely LOVE the hair mask & finishing polish, which smells so feminine. Thank you for making me feel so fabulous and confident. Much love! Domonique

I saw her at Cleo in Oak Park, then followed her to Agoura when Cleo moved there, and now I have followed her to Regency Salon Studios in Westlake (it looks like this Yelp page isn't up to date). I will never let anyone else touch my hair. She has done color, tinsel, and haircuts of course, and I have been so happy with everything. She is conservative in the way she cuts and will only take the dead ends that absolutely need to go, as long as the client approves of course. My hair has become so long and healthy throughout my time seeing her. She has such a kind heart and is so enjoyable to talk to!
