Loved my experience at Etude. I got a haircut with Aria and she did an amazing job!! Definitely coming back!

I got the best haircut of my life from Aria! She knew exactly what I wanted, everyone was so nice, and this will definitely be my go to hair salon from now on! read more

I've been going to Jisun for my men's haircuts and perms for about 3 years now, and she never disappoints. She really listens to what I want and always recommends what works best for my face shape and hair type. Her Korean trendy style is exactly what I'm looking for, and the results always come out clean and modern. From consultation to finish, she takes great care of her clients and makes sure everything is perfect before you leave. She always checks if I'm fully satisfied and makes adjustments if needed. If you're looking for a stylist who does trendy men's perms and haircuts and truly cares about her clients, Jisun is the best. Highly recommend! read more

I went to a different stylist from the one I usually go to because he was out of town. Jay(my usual stylist) did a digital perm on me last time which turned out perfect. I went with another stylist since I've been going to this salon for 10 years and Jay has never done me wrong. This time, I asked for another digital perm and Elisha completely ruined my hair. I should have known because first she talked me out of getting the one I got before (which took Jay 6 hours) saying it would be more "low maintenance" and would look better on me. She finished my haircut with perm within 2.5 hours. Her blond haired assistant/student kept aggressively pushing my head forward bc naturally I had a lot of curlers which made my head start to lean back at times even though I was trying my best to keep it straight. I know perms dry your hair out and Jay would always advise me to do at home treatments for upkeep, but this time I had to buy hundreds of dollars worth of deep conditioning masks/oils/treatments to get my hair to look somewhat normal on top of the hundreds of dollars I already spent on the perm Elisha gave me. I thought about not writing this review since I love going to Jay and the staff he has around him have always been so sweet, but my experience with Elisha was not good. I thought she was nice at the time, but she left me with worse hair than when I went in with/than I've ever had in my life. I will have to get it done again bc no amount of masks/oils can fix it. read more

I strongly don't recommend hair dye, hair cut, and perm here. My hair stylist Jisun was welcoming but skills are lacking cause my wolfcut looks like clumps sectioned off. Half the time she handed me off to a blond dyed hair girl student who repeatly hit my head with a hair blow dryer while blowing my hair and then got dye on my shirt and skin on & around my head; which remained on my skin for 3 weeks (I never experienced this with other Salons I've gone to for hair dyes) I didn't pay for a student price, I paid for a professional service ($$$) so this was very disrespectful & unethical of Etude Salon. My perm was done incorrectly and costed me more time and money to fix it elsewhere. The young girls at reception don't know how to talk or be welcoming; will tell you to fetch things for them. read more

Got my haircut by Duna today and she was amazing! My hair looks exactly like what I asked for and feels way lighter and healthier. Perfect if you're a long layers and curtain bangs girlie like me read more

Great salon and aesthetics. I live nearby so coming here is super convenient in my schedule. Plus parking is free in the structure. Coming to the salon is very methodical. Come in, get greeted, sit at table until the assistant comes over and brings you to get your hair washed, then they'll bring you to your station while you wait for your stylist. The stylist will ask what you're looking for, I'll show some inspo pics, and the rest of the session is pretty performance-oriented. Not much chit chat. If you're looking for a more social, chit chat haircutting session, this place isn't for you. The only reason why I took off a star is because each visit, the stylist will try to upsell me on services-- recommending color or a perm or their more expensive services. I don't appreciate this. I clearly see their list of services before I book! And it's expensive for a haircut already! read more

I went to Etude for the first time today and decided to get side bangs. We had an appointment for 6:15pm, and showed up on time. When we walked in, the front desk told us (slightly irritated) that they were waiting for us because they were supposed to get off at 6pm. We were never asked to show up early, not sure why it was our fault even though we showed up on time. We were asked to pay first and give tips even before we received any service. My stylist was Chanel and while she's very nice, I think she was not very knowledgeable on how to cut hair. I showed her the reference photo (attached) and she started to cut my hair into straight line bangs. I asked, "it's not going to be straight like this right?" and she confidently replied "I know," so I trusted that she knew what she was doing. When she started drying my hair, I quickly realized she did NOT understand what I meant, despite the reference photo and even questioning once during the haircut. When I mentioned once again that I wanted side bangs, she said "oh side bangs?" Then tried to fix it but it was already cut too short... A few other stylists came over to try and fix it but it still just looks awkward now. They also said it looks weird because of my previous root perm, but I will let the attached photo speak for itself. Everyone tried to convince me that it looks fine and it will look good once it grows out. I left very sad and upset, because there was really nothing they could do to fix it. I wasn't even offered a refund at any point and now I will have to hide these bangs somehow for the next month until it's grown out. I paid $30 +tips for this service (bangs cut alone), and was extremely disappointed by the work that was done. My friend, who also came to fix her bangs, left the salon looking the exact same as she came in. They cut like two parts super quickly and she was done. That also cost her $30 +tips. My boyfriend also joined us and his haircut was rushed, his suggestions/preferences were declined (his stylist straight up told him no), and they did not even style or put any product in his hair (he paid $60 +tips). Amongst the three of us, none of us had a good experience and are wondering how the reviews are so good. Everyone is nice though, but I'm not sure that's very helpful when you walk out feeling upset and defeated. read more

This has been a long overdue review. Etude has been my go to salon for the last four years and I'm always happy to pay a premium for the stellar service. From haircuts, full color changes, root touchups, balayage blending, to dry styling, I've always left the salon ecstatic with the results. I've even put my friends on this place. I've booked with Jay, Tiara, Duna and John who are experts in hair design and is able to deliver on the small details that makes my hair look amazing. Recently, I've been booking with Jisun and she is simply the best. She keeps my hair healthy through all the bleaching sessions and nails the color every time. I love chatting with her assistant, Sol, who's also very knowledgable and has helped me decide on my hair design. Overall, every stylist I've worked with here has gone above and beyond with their service and will stay overtime just to get the design right. read more

I have been going to Aria for over three years now? I live in NY but when my main colorist moved I struggled to find someone who could get my long fine asian black hair to a blonde I wanted without the brassy tones. Aria has been amazing and has gotten me to my blonde balayage every summer and always focuses on the integrity of my hair. I fly back often from NY and always make it point to go to her in the Spring and Winter for touch ups. If you need a good color and cut stylist then don't wait and book now! They speak English so no need to be nervous! read more

Second time having a cut and mens perm here, I can confidently say that its a top tier experience. Jisun always pays attention to what I need and also discusses my previous cut and perm so we can arrive at the result I want today. Also shoutout to Solana the assistant who did an outstanding job at making sure I was having the best salon experience. She moves very efficiently and always ensures I'm comfortable. read more

I was very iffy to go red since I've been blonde for over 5 years, but decided WHY NOT! Sometimes change is good ! That's when I found Jisun on Instagram and loved how she left each client with amazing hair. I asked her for a consultation/strand test and she was able to take me the following week. Unfortunately, due to LA traffic, I was 10 minutes late, but Jisun was very understanding and forgiving. They have a cute closet/locker room where you can leave your belongings and change into a cute robe. Her assistant, Solana, was also very friendly and welcoming. They kindly offered tea/ water and made me feel as if I was catching up with a long distance friend. In addition, they both gave me future tips on how I can maintain healthy hair! I love how I also received a mini head massage when I was getting my hair washed. Overall, I love the results and can't wait to be back! The best thing (besides me hair): PARKING WAS FREEEE! Which is an absolute plus! read more

Regarding Elisha Kim: If you're looking for a hairstylist who truly understands men's haircuts and iron perms, look no further -- Elisha is absolutely phenomenal! From the moment you sit in her chair, you feel completely at ease. She's not only incredibly skilled at what she does, but also one of the kindest and most genuine people you'll ever meet. Her attention to detail is unmatched -- she takes the time to really listen to what you want, offers expert suggestions, and somehow makes the entire experience feel effortless and fun. Her technique with men's cuts and iron perms is flawless; she knows exactly how to create a clean, stylish look that grows out beautifully and is easy to maintain. Beyond her talent, what really sets her apart is her personality. She's warm, friendly, funny, and so easy to talk to. You end up leaving not just with an amazing haircut, but also feeling genuinely uplifted. I can honestly say every appointment feels more like catching up with a good friend while getting a top-tier grooming experience. If you're considering an iron perm or just want a great haircut by someone who really cares and knows her craft, Elisha is the one. I can't recommend her enough -- she's simply the best! read more

Thank you, Olivia. I appreciate you. Why do I love Korean hair salons? Because they pamper us and the whole experience feels like a beauty treatment. They also don't add on fees for you to get your hair dried -- I heard places leave you with a wet head of hair if you don't pay for it! Like, seriously? Okay, I'm not here to down talk other places, but instead to lift an amazing styler's talents. Olivia. Boss woman Olivia Choi-Yoon. She has a calm, professional, and kind demeanor. She meticulously works on your hair to perfect it at every angle. So if she is quiet, it's because she's in her zone. She's been working on my hair for the past year--perhaps approaching two years. Can you believe she is the co-director of this place? How empowering. I used to go to the other co-director, but I needed a change & I knew Olivia would be the best stylist for me. I always feel so beautiful whenever I leave the salon and I feel like every customer should feel that way. So what is she known for? Her hair coloring skills. Oh gosh, I wish my fine hair would allow me to get balayage... but I have gone to a point where my hair will tolerate jet black. And I can tell you -- my hair has never been this long and healthy since my virgin hair (middle school!) I can post a photo to show how cute it looks. I think I found "my look." She cuts my hair every couple of months. I love how she cuts my bangs. She makes sure that it looks good from eeeeevery angle. I've convinced my SO to come here too. And now he won't let anyone else touch his hair. He is very shy, so he likes the luxury treatment with little conversation. Hehe. Thank you for making us look great, Olivia. read more

Etude W Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here for a simple haircut a few months ago after hearing great reviews of the spot -- overall the ambiance is nice and they wash your hair well. However, my haircut was extremely rushed... I asked for layers and a simple trim to keep my length. She repeatedly told me that she couldn't do layers for me because my hair was too thin, on top of that when the haircut was finished she didn't ask me if I wanted any changes and she went immediately into styling. I also had to remind her to add in hair protectant (considering my thin hair). I was extremely disappointed by the customer service here considering a women's haircut is priced at $80 or higher. read more

Great space, great vibes, free and easy parking, very friendly and talented staff. Jisun and her assistant Sol did a magic straight on my curly coarse hair. it's a long process but I had a great time. and my hair is Magic Straight! Free consultation and they do everything there! the staff trains for three years so you never get a beginner stylist. As a hairdresser myself, that is a lot of training and commitment to the art and science of hair. Highly recommend! read more

I got my haircut and root perm done by Olivia and I am super happy with how it turned out! She was very careful and efficient with my time and super nice! Would definitely recommend :)) read more

I have been a long-time client of Ms. Aria Choi. She has been coloring and cutting my hair for over four years now, and every visit has been amazing. Aria has such a great eye for aesthetics and is always so patient and attentive. I trust her completely!! The entire team at Etude Salon is also fantastic. The stylists and assistants are professional, talented, and always make sure you feel comfortable and cared for. I have gone to Aria for every major event in my life, graduation, my wedding, and more, and she always makes me feel confident and beautiful. I truly love Etude Salon, from the high-quality products they use to the warm, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend! read more

Exceptional Haircut with BoBae at Etude. I was in an urgent situation needing a haircut when my regular stylist was unavailable, and I spontaneously booked an appointment at Etude. I am so glad I did! I had my haircut with BoBae, and the experience was truly exceptional. From the start, it was clear she is very experienced. I explained exactly how I wanted my hair, and she didn't just nod--she thoughtfully discussed the pros and cons of my request and offered insightful suggestions based on my face shape. BoBae is incredibly professional and clearly cares deeply about her work. The final result was even better than I expected. She gave me a fantastic cut and provided me with great ideas for future styles. If you are looking for an experienced, attentive, and professional stylist, I highly recommend asking for BoBae at Etude. Thank you, BoBae! read more

Love Olivia and the whole salon! She's an absolute expert--I've trusted her with my hair for over a year now, and she never misses. I got my first C-curl perm with her last November, followed by a trim, and just came back today for another perm. I love my hair every time. Honestly, probably the best haircut I've ever had. She knows exactly what she's doing, and my hair is so easy to maintain with lasting volume. The whole team is amazing--everyone is super friendly, professional, and the salon itself is chic, clean, and filled with good vibes and great music. Shoutout to her assistant Sue, who's always so sweet and helpful! Highly recommend--they're officially my hair people haha. Can't wait to come back! read more

As someone who's been to a lot of hair salons for Asian male perms and cuts I can genuinely say this place is the best in terms of quality and consistency I always go to Elisha for my cuts and every time I come out feeling like my confidence has gone up a hundredfold; I can't stress enough how good she is in knowing what kind of style would fit your face shape and also understanding your own vision They earned a loyal customer in me over the past year and I can't find myself going to a different place for a long time read more

I absolutely love this place! I've had two hair transformations with Chanel so far- one of them a haircut and the other color. Chanel completely understood what I wanted each and every time, and succeeded my expectations (I didn't know my hair could look like that). On top of that she's so sweet and detail oriented:) For anyone looking for good service and an even better hair renewal I would highly recommend Chanel- she's the lady to go to! I will definitely be looking forward to my next hair appointment with her. read more

It was my first time there and it was a great experience! I loved how they give you gowns to wear before the cut and helps a lot with not getting hair all over your clothes. My Stylist was Zion and she was very sociable and I felt very comfortable. She cut my hair exactly how I wanted and she went out of her way to not only dry but straighten my hair to make sure everything was even. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I would definitely go back there again to use their services! Thank you:) read more

I've been coming here for years and always leave feeling so happy and confident!

The service is amazing with drinks and snacks included, everyone is so friendly, and the salon has such a fun, bustling energy. Make sure to book in advance, it's worth it! read more
