I am obsessed with Cie Sparks! I followed Heather and Michael from Meche to their beautiful Malibu location and I couldn't be happier. They transformed my hair from a lifeless mousy brown mop to a perfectly highlighted beachy bob.Heather is such a wonderful colorist I 100% trust her expert skill and taste, my hair color always turns out amazing!!! Michael is such an artist, he meticulously cuts hair like he is creating a work of art. He makes every client in the salon including myself look way cooler than when they walked in. This salon is a must visit!!!!!! read more

It's probably a year now since I first started going to Angelina for eyebrows. Still following her from salon to salon so she must be doing something right. I personally don't have an eye for brows, even my own, but I've always trusted her work and I've let other people's compliments do the judging for me. I intend to indefinitely keep her as my "brow-ber". read more

Tyler is the best colorist!!! She's so kind and helpful and always makes me laugh when I come in! I'm never disappointed and always love being her client. If you go to Cie, you have to go to Tyler! Best colorist out there. read more

I love Heather! I have been going to her since she was at Meche Salon in Beverly Hills and there was no way I was planning on stopping when she moved to Malibu. She has skills like no other. I also have to comment on how clean and neat she keeps the place. I hate going to salons that are covered in the last persons hair. The staff is so kind, attentive, and really go out of their way to make sure your whole experience is enjoyable. I can go in with a style I saw online or in a magazine and she will take that and tailor it to my personality/style. I literally feel like I have my own personal glam team when I am there. If you want quality this is the place to be read more

Heather is amazing. I have been going to her for three years--it is so great to have a Beverly Hills trained colorist in Malibu. She does a fabulous blond and I love her attention to detail. read more

I went in on a whim because I was in DESPERATE need of a cut but I knew since I was a walk in I might have been turned down. Lucky for me a stylist, Kristen, was open and she was so incredibly sweet and talented! First, she asked if she could take some before shots which were fun and made me feel really special, and then she sat me down in the chair and that's when the magic started happening. She took my shaggy, damaged, hadn't-been-cut-in-a-year-and-a-half hair and transformed it into a trendy and healthy looking lob. She was so attentive and wanted to make sure everything looked perfect before we took a round of after photos. I had an amazing experience there and would definitely recommend coming here if it's in your price range read more

Heather is an absolute gem. I discovered her through a friend and seriously don't know what I did before her. Not only is she personable and outgoing but she's extremely knowledgeable about hair. She truly cares about her clients which is rare to find in LA these days. I completely trust her to not only do an amazing job but to also do what is best for my hair. read more

If you're going here, you MUST see Angelina!! This woman is a miracle worker!! I've tried quite a few places to get my eyebrows right, and straight from the get go Angelina got me and I will now not see anyone else. She is the best!! read more

I've followed Heather Cie from Meche to Ramirez Tran and am so excited about her moving to her own salon. First of all, of the three locations, this is my favorite. The materials they chose lend a really creative and inspired vibe to the place. Everyone here is very professional, but incredibly down to earth. I would want to work here! And I think that lends itself to really great hair. Heather is an absolute genius. But what I love most about her is how she communicates. She is HONEST with you about what you can expect. The second thing I love about her is she really cares about the condition of your hair. I wanted to go from virgin almost black hair to platinum blonde. Heather was super honest and patient with me and made me realize I was better served taking my time getting there than all out wrecking my hair with straight bleach. Not an easy thing to do with a new client. But Heather always gives it to you straight. Over a few months, my hair went from boring brown, to a really beautiful and cool blonde. And when I decided I wanted something lower maintenance, Heather was there in a heart beat, strategically bringing my color down to something more natural. Even through this transition, my hair looks phenomenal. I get tons of compliments whenever I get it done. Actually the ultimate compliment: a ton of my girlfriends took the plunge from being color virgins and going more blonde. Heather's work tends to have that beautiful, natural lived in quality. I pushed her more towards that less natural, more editorial look, which she can do as well. She's very versatile, but at the end of the day, my hair looks the best when I just let her do what she thinks will look best. My hair just looks so expensive looking when I leave, I feel like a million bucks! read more

Tyler is the best at color! Keeps my blonde hair very healthy and blended perfectly. Super easy to talk too as well which makes getting your hair done fun. I highly recommend her for a color especially if you need to fix your blonde or go lighter! read more

Iim so excited to be back in the capable and creative hands of Heather Cie and Michael Sparks. Their new salon Cie Sparks in Malibu is eclectic in decor but has a definite cosy feel. The staff are warm and welcoming not your usual perfunctory types! My new hair color is an array of sun kissed strands in beige and platinum blonde that look natural. Michael cut my hair giving it a boho sexy look which is super manageable without having to use the blowdryer! These two guys are masters at what they do along with all their talented and very likeable staff. Well worth a day out in Malibu... Shopping, lunch or simply a stroll along the beach... And a new fabulous you! read more

My first review ever! The best salon for color in the LA area! I followed Heather here from Meche in Beverly Hills (where Tracy Cunningham did my color for years.) Heather learned from the best and today has her own super breezy, chic salon in Malibu. She's a master of color - and I've done it all: single process, highlights, lowlights, rinses, crystals, you name it! Heather is detailed and professional and fun. There's no better place to become blonde! Worth the sunny drive to Malibu! read more

Best haircut I've gotten, everyone is very friendly and the shop has great energy. Heather is very helpful and knowledgeable about hair, I highly recommend this salon to everyone in malibu! read more

LOVE this salon! Super happy fresh environment in Malibu. Kara is the absolute sweetest and did an amaaaazing job freshening up my hair with perfect blonde blended highlights to last a few months while away at school. She genuinely took so much care in creating something that I wanted and so much more! Would HIGHLY recommend Kara as well as Cie Sparks salon(: read more

I loved this salon. But more importantly I love love love my hair. It's sexy blond, healthy, and shiny. I walked in with dull over processed hair. I feel sexy and amazing. Yes that's what great hair does to self-esteem. Heather and Sonia are the bomb. five star all the way. The staff was friendly and welcoming. read more

Cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is! They totally made me feel at home as a sojourner. They let me keep working on deadline while making my berserk hair perfect, and I flat out enjoyed the whole experience. They are just cool, happy, talented people. I would move to Malibu just because they represent it well. I went home with the best hair color I've ever had. Thanks to Boyd! I will make this getaway regularly. read more

Heather Cie, the owner, is MY girl. I have been following her around Los Angeles for almost 9 years. She is the most consistent, available, flexible, professional, talented colorist I have met in all my 30 years of coloring my hair. Her salon is buzzing with all kinds of energetic, attractive, smiling, and happy people. I have had haircuts by Nathan, color by Heather, blowouts by Savannah and I love this place!! I continue to drive out there from Beverly Hills because it's worth the consistent and amazing results I pay for. read more

ASK FOR ANGELINA TO DO YOUR BROWS!!!!!! She is my GO TO GIRL! Absolutely amazing!!!! She really transformed my brows to frame my face and also applied some tint to make my them really pop. (I have SUPER light eyebrows)! read more

Bottom Line: If you want a chic salon in Malibu that has all talent and no attitude, this is the place. Michael Sparks and Heather are both insanely talented. read more

I generally liked my cut but I have to say for 175 dollars I've had better cuts. Will come back and comment if the hair grow out and looks better. read more

Lauren is the best colorist. She always knows exactly what I want and leaves me hair so soft and perfectly colored. She never leaves my skin stained which I've definitely struggled with at other places. I recommend her for whatever color you are trying to accomplish. read more

I love Heather! She does the best blonde ever! I've been following her since she was a Meche Hair Salon in Beverly Hills and now she opened her own salon in Malibu. She's the go to person for Blondes and the only colorist I trust. read more

Do not walk...Run to this salon!!! Andrew for color and Sonia for haircut are AMAZING! I have been coloring my hair for over 20 years and this is the best it has ever looked. They are so thoughtful, kind, considerate & fun. Not a snobby place. Down to earth people having a good time while doing their job. read more

Michael Sparks is absolutely the most incredible creative hair stylist/artist there is. I have very thick and short hair which requires someone with major skills to cut it. When I moved to LA the first year I went to several high end hair salons and my hair cuts left me feeling awful. I got determined to find the absoulute best hair stylist and I did Michael Sparks. When he cuts your hair it's like he is making a masterpiece. He turned my hair cut that was frumpy out of date into a super current and sexy cut. I completely trust him with my hair and his vision to do what he thinks is best. What's amazing about my hair after Michael cuts it is this.. I can shower and let my hair naturally air dry, using no product, wash and go, and it looks fantastic! That is how precise his cutting techniques are. A few more great things I can share about having him cut my hair people notice. People constantly stop me when I am out and about and compliment me on how great my hair looks. I feel like a million bucks, stylish and sexy when I leave the salon. Michael has completely helped me get my hair confidence back again! And, for the icing on top of the cake of his hair magic he has an amazing and positive personality. Book your appointment today! You will love what he does with your hair! Call the salon today 310-456-2300 and book your best ever hair cut with Michael Sparks. read more

Just returned from 93 mile round trip for cut and color. Crazy I know but worth every single mile. Heather did an amazing job with my color which was a mess. (Long story.) Then Nathan gave me the best hair cut I've ever had. He knows how to make you look your best, even though he had to factor in mis-cut bangs ("short" story). When I left it wasn't just that they corrected my cut and color. They did a great job and showed me how to style it, and even how to give myself a different look at home. What a pleasure. Everyone including the assistants did their very best for me. The shop is great, breezy and cool, parking super and lots of benefits of visiting such a unique and wonderful area. If you are on the fence...you will not be disappointed. read more

Hated this place. So stuffy and snobby . People we're so rude and horrible that I just walked out. Go to a salon called hair so much nicer and better than the people in Cie. I will never returned. The receptionist was horrible and it just started from there. This place thinks they're all that there is but I thought it sucked. read more

Alexis Ramos is the Hair King! I've been getting my hair cared for by him for six years and will follow him anywhere. He's a master stylist, colorist (though I'm committed to my virgin, graying hair, I've seen his work and it is glorious), and a truly gifted artist. read more

I had never colored my hair before and wanted to lighten my hair just a bit and make it look very natural. I went to Cares for Balayage and she did EXACTLY what I wanted. It's natural, really lightens up my entire face, and I can tell it's going to grow out really well. She was professional, fun, funny, and really really knows what she's doing. HIGHLY recommend going to see Cares! The studio was also really nice and in a great location. read more

Heather is amazing! I went to her with damaged over processed hair and I've been seeing her for about 6 months now and my hair is getting healthier and healthier. She has a great eye for color and she actually cares about your hair being/ staying healthy. Thanks heather read more

The whole salon is great. The music is relaxing, the customer service is on point and Heather, particularly, is incredible at color. She gave me the most natural looking highlights -- it was exactly what I wanted -- and I left the salon extremely satisfied with my experience. A lot of the time I experience poor customer service in Malibu, but this place definitely exceeded my expectations. Going back for sure. read more

I went and saw Michael Sparks to bring life to my short hair. I am EXTREMELY happy with the cut and what he did with it. It isn't easy to cut short hair, but he surpassed my expectations and gave me the best cut I've ever had. I love my hair, and Michael is to thank for that. Great guy, amazing stylist. I've seen Heather's work, as well, and it's more than impressive. Both great people. They have very friendly staff, too. If you need a cut or a color or both do yourself a huge favor and go to Cie Sparks. You'll thank yourself because you did. read more

I came in here because a few friends speak highly of this place. I must have bad luck because as soon as I sat down with Amanda B, I was immediately greeted with unprofessional incompetent stylist who appeared hungover because you could literally smell the alcohol every time she'd get close to me (which was for the entire 1.5 hour). She failed to acknowledge my request for 2 inches taken off and took it upon herself to take almost 5 off (I measured before and afterwards due to long length ). When I explained this wasn't what I wanted she immediately got defensive , told me "you're wrong, if you don't like it take yourself somewhere else". That was that and I tried asking for management but she insisted she was in charge and no one else was available and to "deal with it". Of course I walked out and will continue to expose the rudeness and lack of professionalism from this once great salon. read more

Today was the third time in a row that Sonia failed to show up for my scheduled appointment. Each time the salon has either failed to text or call me in advance at all, or as they did today, I received a text 6 minutes before my appointment as I'm pulling into the parking lot for that appt. So rude. Unprofessional. I've been coming to this salon for 3 years seeing a terrific male stylist who left to go to another salon, so I switched to Sonia. Big mistake. She's rude and unprofessional in my opinion to do this to me three appts in a row! I'm done with this salon who could have, and should have given me proper notice if they needed to cancel my appt. Not once has the owner ever called me to apologize for Sonia's 3-peat unprofessionalism and rudeness. The salon's website doesn't even list Sonia as a stylist - I now understand why. I would give Sonia and this salon zero stars for customer care and service if that were possible. read more

Angelina has been doing my brows now for well over five years. She's professional, quick and so down-to-earth. She's just an all-around wonderful person. She'll whip your eyebrows right into shape! read more

Honestly I have NEVER in my life met someone better at coloring hair than Heather! She is the best in the business hands down. I will never go to another colorist again. Heather is not only such a kind individual but she goes above and beyond to make your experience amazing. She listens to what your hair has been through and where you want your hair to go. She takes her time to talk to you before starting the process and creates the most amazing color. Her work is natural, beachy, and next level. I have been looking for someone to do my hair like this for the past three years and finally I have found the right person. Heather cares about keeping your hair healthy and getting you the color you want. My hair has been through so many different colors and she has finally gotten me to the color I want to be. Everyone who gets their hair colored should go to Heather. I promise you will walk out of the salon looking incredible. I am so happy I found Heather and Cie Sparks. The salon atmosphere is relaxed yet upscale- the perfect Malibu vibe. I will never go anywhere else. Thank you, Heather, for the most amazing hair! read more

CIE Salon - Amazing color by Heather! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Malibu, California

Heather is fantastic! I visited her for the first time about 6 months ago and am very happy. I did some serious sleuthing to find a colorist who could correct a series of botched highlights, and found Heather via some of my favorite LA bloggers. Very happy with my look and haven't needed to return yet! read more

Love love love Heather for color and Michael for cut!!!!! I'm one of those ultra picky people that has to make sure the stylist I go to is amazing or I won't even let them touch me... My sisters and I have been following Michael for over 7 years and been going to Heather 3+ years. I love their salon in Malibu now and I'm so glad two very talented people are now under one roof so I can take care of my color and cut the same day. Hands down they are the best in LA!!!! read more

I absolutely love Heather and Michael at Cie sparks. I started with them in Beverly Hills and followed them to Malibu because there is no better in LA for cut and color. I am a natural blonde and Heather is the only one I trust with my hair. And Michael gives the best cuts and style. Cie sparks has such a friendly and laid back vibe but is a chic, professional and upscale salon in Malibu country mart without any Beverly Hills snobbiness. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I've spent years trying to find the hair salon for me. After dozens of botched haircuts and colorings at countless salons, I finally made a trip to Cie Sparks. After hearing from several friends that the salon was expensive, I was a bit intimidated. As a college student, I don't have hundreds to drop on my hair. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It was no more expensive than some of the other run-down salons I've visited in LA. They also offered me a huge Pepperdine discount! The location is excellent! It's right in the country mart. My boyfriend was able to get me food at sunlife and Malibu kitchen while I was in the salon chair! I got a haircut and blow-out by Harley. He is AMAZING! Not only was he super kind, warm, friendly, and personable, but he also knew EXACTLY what I wanted without me having to go into detail. My hair looked amazing! Unlike a lot of other stylists, he was easy to talk to, didn't condemn me for my split ends, and didn't pressure me to buy hair products. I was in and out quickly, as well! I rarely ever justify spending hefty amounts on services such as haircuts, but I assure you that you won't be disappointed! This place rocks! They send you off looking very so cal chic! read more
