CLE hair was my first hair cut in Los Angeles and I've been twice. Since I moved to LA for college, I needed to find a place to cut my hair and stumbled upon CLE hair. May, the owner, is a really great hairstylist! She's super fast, talented and asks you if you're happy with certain parts of the haircut before she moves on. Korean is the main language spoken in the salon but there is no language barrier. The price is fair as well, compared to other salons in LA. There is also parking spots in front of the salon which is nice! Thank you May and CLE hair for my great hair cut experiences! read more

CLE HAIR - Post hair cut from hairstylist May - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been here twice now, and I was booked with this lady named ivy, never seen her there before but she said she was renting a space in the salon. She was way too rough with my hair compared to another customers which I saw, she would force the brush through my tangled hair instead of doing it gently. Overall she just didn't seem happy to do my hair at all, she came off as unenthusiastic when she was cutting my hair. I feel like I got way different treatment. I was unhappy with my haircut results, I had asked for a side swept bang and she discouraged my haircut choice which is sad because I came in with my heart set on it. I left disappointed. On top of that she pressed me for a tip after barely cutting a few inches off my hair. She charged me $80 for my length which was barely up to my waist. That pricing is absurd. When she asked if I was gonna leave a tip I kindly said "I feel like the haircut itself was already expensive" and she took it to heart and gave me major attitude and kept pressing me for a tip. Mind you she didn't even wash or dry my hair HERSELF. All she did was cute a few inches off and style it. Worst haircut experience ever. Please do not book with IVY! read more

let me start this review by saying you get what you pay for. The artistry of the final cut is definitely worth every penny, but the experience itself is why the price is what it is. Right when you walk in they have you walk immediately to the bowl to have your hair washed no consultation no looking at your hair first or asking what you want to do with it just straight into wash. After your hair wash they direct you to your chair and that is when they ask you what you want done to your hair. And then and then she cuts and blow drys your hair. My Final Cut was really good and I got so many compliments bc of the layer look she gave me. I loved it so def worth coming back again read more

Service requested: Women's hair cut (long): $60 includes: hair wash Quality: 10/10! The workers were so nice and did an amazing job at delivering what I wanted. I requested long layers and face framing and it was exactly what I had in mind. I got a lot of compliments on my hair afterwards. Vibe: The place is clean and has a lot of natural lighting Parking: Parking is a bit limited but they have reserved parking for customers Overall: A great experience and I plan on returning! :) I called in advance and booked an appointment so I'm not sure if they take walk-ins. They also accept both cash & card. read more

My roommate and her bf both come to this salon and always rave about it so I had to visit (I'm due for a salon visit, trust!) I called in Friday afternoon and was able to book a next day appointment (so lucky!) I got here like 30min early cause wanted to beat la traffic lol by the time it was nearing my 12pm appointment, I got sent over to the hair wash station. The wash felt amazing (love a scalp massage during shampoo process) and the mint scalp treatment felt divine . Julie ended up cutting my hair - I got a layered cut! It was such an easy process and honestly took me 30mins max which I love! Everyone was super sweet and I'm definitely coming back! Attaching before and after pics lol read more

Love Cle Hair and the owner stylist May. Each time I leave completely satisfied with my hair. May understands the style I'm asking for and gets it done! Today I showed her a photo of the style I wanted, and she even took a picture of it to keep next to her as a reference while cutting. She is also a genuinely kind and honest person. There's never any shadiness about the pricing, she's always transparent and upfront. Also, her rates are very reasonable especially for the quality of the service you get. The salon itself is clean and spacious, with its own parking at the front and the back. Visiting Cle Hair always feels like a treat. I'm usually too busy (or lazy) to write reviews but I had to for this place. P.S. Every time I'm here, I notice other customers leaving with big smiles and thanking May, which says it all read more

CLE HAIR - Absolutely love the result - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

When I called on the phone, they told me the price for a long haircut would be $50, and the price for hair that is "too long" would be $70. I asked what length is considered too long, and she said "the waist." My hair is nowhere near my waist--it's closer to my upper/mid back. But after the cut, they told me it would be $70. When I mentioned that I had called to confirm the $50 price, she then said that "too long" is the middle back or the bra line (when they originally told me waist on the phone). I only came here because I was told it would be $50. Otherwise, I would've just gone to Juno Hair for the same price and likely a better cut. I understand there may have been a language barrier or confusion, but this ended up feeling very misleading. I left paying more than I was comfortable with, which wasn't a great experience read more

I really don't like leaving bad reviews but i got this haircut a month ago and im still upset about it hahahahah So many people have had great experiences here and love that for them but i went in with a reference photo and was sent on my merry little way looking like a fool. But it was $50 and at least I got a hair wash I guess. read more

My first visit to the salon last August was wonderful--I believe May was my stylist, and she did an amazing job fixing a choppy haircut I'd gotten elsewhere. She blended the layers beautifully, worked quickly, and was clearly very skilled. I was so happy that I decided this would be my go-to salon. However, during my second visit a few weeks ago (to fix another haircut I wasn't happy with from when I was visiting my hometown), I had a different stylist, and the experience wasn't the same. The layers ended up quite blunt and choppy, and while I tried to convince myself it wasn't too bad, I've noticed more over time that I dislike how it falls unless I style it a certain way. At first, I didn't realize how uneven it was because of how she styled it before I left. I do think this salon is a great affordable option, but if you go, I'd just recommend being mindful of which stylist you choose. My second visit felt a bit awkward--it seemed like the stylist wasn't fully engaged that day, which made the experience less pleasant. May was fantastic, though, so if possible, I'd definitely request her! read more

May was my first attempt at a haircut after moving to LA and unless I move, I won't ever go somewhere else. Her consistency since first going is amazing. The quality of the haircut and overall experience far exceeds what you pay. She doesn't waste my or her time when I go, so it's not like you'll be sitting around all day for your appointment. Can't recommend her more! read more

amazing experience, but 4 stars bc they changed the price up on me and kept increasing it - ($50 on the phone, $55 then $60 when the cut was finished ‍) but hey, that's a much better price than what cuts cost in LA rn ($120+ from my searches). the place was comfortable, clean and the stylist just did her thing. i'm really happy w the final look and it's super cool that we were able to accomplish this w minimal speaking. its a primarily korean speaking salon and i don't speak it but we got it done! would come back and they have other services too like korean digital perms and keratin treatments read more

I had a good experience with the lady who washed my hair but my haircut looks horrible. I went in for face framing and to cut my bangs...came out with chunky front layers and it almost seems like I'm wearing extensions. It's so unfortunate because it has taken me years and years to grow nice and healthy hair. I don't even think it's fixable. My hair was also thinned out and I wasn't asked before doing that. The haircut doesn't even look proportionate, one side is longer and the other side is shorter. read more

I've visited your salon 3-4 times, but my most recent visit was the worst experience. My haircut was very uneven, and you seemed to be in a bad mood the entire time. When it came time to pay, I used Apple Pay, but the machine froze. There was no issue between me and your staff -- we tried to scan again, but it still didn't work. Then you came over and said it wasn't working because the machine had two chips. As we tried again, my phone showed that the payment had gone through, so I asked if you had received it and showed you the notification. However, you responded in a very irritated manner and said it was still pending. You told me that if the money did go through, I could message you directly and you'd refund it -- which I was completely fine with. I was just about to ask if I should pay again using my physical card when you raised your voice and blamed the first failed attempt on the internet and the second one on me. I was honestly confused -- I didn't understand what I did wrong. I asked again if I should just use my card, and you replied, "It's up to you," in a very rude tone. I just want to say: please don't bring your emotions into your work. I saw how you took out your frustration on your staff, and unfortunately, the result showed in my haircut. I wanted to speak up, but your hostile attitude throughout my time in the salon made me feel that you weren't open to hearing anything. You were acting based purely on emotion. read more

CLE HAIR - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I reached out with a simple question before booking, but the stylist responded in a very dismissive way and canceled my appointment. I was surprised because I only asked about heat protectant and pricing for long hair. Communication matters, so unfortunately I didn't feel comfortable going forward. update: the owner replied to me and made this seem like a text messaging function issue, this was very much a real interaction i had with one of the stylists there who was being rude over text read more

You get what you pay for. I was a little nervous during the service due to how fast they were rushing but I liked the end results so I can't complain. read more

I normally don't leave reviews, but I felt it was important to share my experience. I recently visited this location and was disappointed with the level of customer service. The employee assisting me seemed to have difficulty communicating in English, which made it hard to explain what I needed. I even showed a photo of hairstyle that I wanted. After showing the photo, I felt rushed through the whole appointment. I understand that language barriers can happen, but when it affects the quality of service, it becomes frustrating as a customer. I hope management can provide better training or support so that all staff can communicate more effectively and make customers feel valued--not rushed out the door. read more

my go-to salon! i've come to cle hair twice now and love it! both times i had super long hair, and may (the owner) did an amazing haircut! may is attentive to what you ask for and is quick with the cut and style, but is really detailed. both times i loved my haircut, and would recommend her for that! my mom regularly comes in to get her hair dyed here and touched up and she loves it here as well. there's parking right out front which is so convenient and there's a little waiting area inside with a modern aesthetic that's perfect for selfies. i like that the salon is very clean too! read more

I got a haircut from Julie and I absolutely love it! I am one that usually never likes the haircuts I get and just hop it'll grow out into something mediocre but I'm absolutely in love with the results. I showed her an inspo picture and she made adjustments according to what she thought matched my face and suggested cutting a certain amount to make my hair look healthier. I used to be blonde so I needed that extra chop. I recommended her to all of my friends! I will definitely be back read more

Service: 5 stars Atmosphere: 5 stars Price: reasonable. Boy $30; Women $45-$55 ($60 long) I had my haircut in late June and just had my son's haircut today with stylist, Julie, and I was happy with both haircuts. I decided to visit this place after seeing the great short haircut my sister got. I have medium-length hair and wanted some nice side layers, which she did an excellent job with. I think I'll make this my new go-to spot for haircuts since my previous stylist wasn't always consistent, and I was being hesitant to go back. Hopefully, my next visit will be just as great, so far now, this will be my new place for haircuts. Place is clean, and I was happy with overall service. Parking my be limited since their parking in the rear is small. read more

CLE HAIR - Haircut - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

First and foremost - this is a salon ran by Koreans so if you do not speak the language, I would tread lightly here as English communication appears to be limited. I decided to try this place for a haircut based on a friend's recommendation who had a positive experience (mainly, she thought the pricing is fair). One catch - she's Korean and can speak the language, and I'm not. I had my reservations when booking an appointment that language might be an issue (based on the conversation) but decided to keep an open mind... On the day of my appointment, I had Julie as the stylist and the whole haircut took ~40 mins from start to finish, inclusive of wash. Early on, English communication was shown to be limited, however I showed her my pictures and trusted the process. Long story short, I was not happy with the haircut I ended up getting. I wanted little to minimal layers, but was given instead very sharp, blunt layers with no blending whatsoever. With communication being limited, I felt like there wasn't really much I can do and was left at hoping the cut wasn't too short so that I can have it salvaged if needed. I later realized Julie never 1) allowed me to see the back of my hair cut and 2) allowed me to see how my hair looked when dried post-cut to make sure it's ok before she proceeded to style it with curls at the end. The one specific request where I asked her to curl my hair in the other direction, she nodded and but then ignored my request by continuing with what she was doing affirmed my sentiment that even had I been more vocal about my preferences throughout the cut, the language barrier/communication problem would still have been an issue. As for the end result, besides being deeply dissatisfied with my haircut - I ended up purchasing hair cutting scissors and blended out the ends of my hair to improve the haircut. However I believe for the $55 price tag, I deserve better and shouldn't need to go through this process. I've been to both lower end $20-$30 and higher end $70 - $80 hair cut spots and I would say either spots sound like better options for their price points (lower end will still have the language barrier, but it's excusable at that price point vs higher end tend to better tailor to your requests)   Tl;dr - do not recommend this place if you can not speak Korean. Unless you like fast and blunt cuts with layers, I would stay away from this place. My experience aligns with the low star reviews so be forewarned. read more

Great experience. Fast and loved my cut! The owner was so friendly and welcoming! Can't wait to go back

First time at Cle Hair and I got a haircut from May. She is super talented, friendly, thorough and this was one of the best haircuts I've gotten. The salon is very clean and there are a few parking spots for customers in the front of the salon. May made sure I was satisfied with my haircut and recommended treatments that addressed my concerns. I made an appointment over the phone and was able to come in the same day. Highly recommend stopping by! 10/10 read more

This is our go-to salon and we drive down from LA to see May. She is skilled, fast and reasonable. My daughters and I love her and the salon! She used to work at Juno in Seoul Korea, so she is one of the best. The only other place that we like for cuts and perms is in Korea! read more

I've been getting my roots touched up with bleach for 10 years now. This was hands down the worst it's ever been done. Root touch up was $160. The price of bleach and toner/color afterwards has always been combined, so it didn't even cross my mind to ask if the color was a separate charge. So they bleached my roots, which was very poorly done. I've never had such brassy roots in my life. And they were going to just let me walk out like that lol. I would have, but I had a big gig I needed to look decent for the next day, and I had no way of knowing if I'd be able to find another salon that same day. They told me if I wanted color I had to pay an additional $160. So I paid $320 total for the crappiest root touch up ever, which I'll now have to pay extra to get fixed elsewhere. Please save yourself the hassle and don't go here for your color. I'm giving it 2 stars bc the cut was decent. If this app allowed it, they would get negative stars for the root touch up. Don't trust the pics!! read more

I first called to ask about hair coloring and they said it was 140-160 on the phone. However, when I got there, they told me it was 180 which was higher than expected, but I proceeded with the hair coloring. The salon was well kept and clean. I wanted to get a light brown color up to a 6-7, but they said that they could only lift my hair to 4-5 since it was previously dyed and wasn't virgin hair. I was okay with that, however after they finished with my hair, the color came out darker than the hair color I came in with and was super black. They said it would lighten up with time and that it would be brown in a couple weeks. A few weeks passed and I called them because the color wasn't getting any lighter and I was still charged 180. On the phone, I was told the color actually didn't work and every time I tried to say anything at all, I was interrupted and it was really difficult to talk. The owner said that my virgin hair at the top however lightened a bit, so if I wanted to fix anything, she would make my hair darker so that the top hair matched the rest. However, I would still pay for the materials used to make my hair darker when I didn't even want it dark. Overall, I didn't have the best experience here and I've been told I got scammed multiple times cause my hair was indeed not any lighter. If you wanted a haircut thought or just styling, then from what I've seen, it could be nice. read more

I am so happy to have found this salon! I am new to the area and needed a salon. How lucky I was to find Julie who has cut my hair a few times now.

The prices are reasonable and the people there are very nice. I do not speak Korean but did not have any issue. If anything, I found people there eager to help and communicate with me! read more
