I go here for my haircut and my son's. Yirlanny is fantastic. Fast, efficient, and does a top notch job. She used to work at the one on 190th in Torrance which was a dump. This location is much nicer and cleaner. I'll be going back. read more

My review is for Kim, I came in for a basic trim. She did a great job. What I liked the most about her are her listening skills and her suggestions. At the time, I had a long bob, and very thick Asian hair. She suggested that I clean up my bob with a few long layers so it does not look so thick. She also cut my hair dry, so that I can see exactly how it looks without cutting more than she should when the hair is wet. She was very good at listening to what I desired and was able to achieve this with her suggestions to make it look even better. It is very difficult to find a stylist who knows thick Asian hair and I am very picky and demanding of details. She took her time with me and finished the cut gracefully, she definitely knows what she is doing. I am definitely coming back for my next cut to see her, only. My cut was only $18! read more

This place takes their own coupons! I know, it's not the most exciting title but it seems a lot of the stores don't. Went here a few weeks ago for the first time with my two sons. Previously we had been to the location in Westchester but they were not taking their corporate coupons that came in the weekly flyer. Getting three cuts the discount do make a difference I was really happy with the service and the cuts. Prices were very reasonable even without the coupons. I am happy to find a place a little closer to home that I can get our cuts. This is a quiet store in the heart of El Segundo beach community. It is not on a major thoroughfare but is close enough. read more

I want to give a huge thank you to Fabiola. I walked in last Thursday showed Fabiola a Pin-up updo and told her I was going to a Bachelorette party Friday. And this is what I wanted. With no hesitation she said sure we can do it. I get to my appointment Friday and walk out looking and feeling great. Everyone at the party complimented my hair and make up. Again thank you fabiola. Now let's get ready for my 50th party. She is a very talented hair stylist. read more

Fantastic Sams - Hair and makeup by Fabiola in El Segundo!!!! Thank you for the transformation - Hair Salons Near Me - El Segundo, California

See all

I came in on Saturday to get a trim. I just had a baby so my hair was falling out a lot. I had Mona help me, not only did she style my hair but she gave me some great tips to help with the hair falling! Coming from a woman who has 6 kids she knows a thing or 2. I was so happy to have someone that could relate to my problems! I can't wait to go again in a couple months. My hair is already falling out less than what it was before. read more

Thank you Cindy thank did my hair color and style. Finally back to my natural brown color that I was born with. She made that Gothic drab black I've worn all these years disappear to what I wanted done for years. read more

My regular hair colorist was out of town so I went to someone else and he messed up my hair badly! I was leaving for Fiji in two days and I called Fantastic Sams in a panic! I had heard Tania was good, and she did not disappoint. Not only did she let me come in that second, she spent 4 hours on my hair while working on other clients. She was patient and kind and I look like a supermodel! I will be going to Tania for my hair color from now on!!!!! read more

previously gave a 1 star for the fact that the hair cut first done was all choppy and not even what i asked for, but since they were nice enough to admit that they were wrong in the first place when i came back the next day and fixed my hair free of charge ( and they did and pulled through ) ill bump it up to 3 stars, for now. Just as a warning, if the barber takes off your apron, if you intend to go home afterwards, take your time to inspect and make sure your hair isnt choppy and you actually got what you wanted, dont feel pressure that you have to leave, you pay what you get. read more

I went to this location for just a wash and blow dry. I was quoted a special of $25 on the phone. Here are my issues. My hair was fried by a too hot dryer. I just had my hair cut less than a week ago and now my ends are obviously burnt. They didn't wash my hair well. The back wasn't really washed, just the front. One day later it was greasy again. Usually a wash can last me up to 3 days. When I was given the price at the end I was charged $35. $35 for a wash and blow dry at this place??? I can go to a fancy blow dry bar for $40 and get a way better job done. Will not ever go back here. My hair is fried at the ends and now I need another haircut. Thanks. read more

Got my hair color done with Tanya. She did a really good job on my hair- I have thick black dark Asian hair, but now have beautiful dark brown shade. Thanks Tanya! read more

I really love my how they cut my hair here. Very Friendly staff. I always get a great haircut. Will come back.

I had my hair done with Tania Rios and I am super happy with the final product ...Tania is super professional and super understanding explained everything to me ...loved it read more

Fantastic Sams - Tania Rios worked her magic on my hair...loved my new look - Hair Salons Near Me - El Segundo, California

I have been going to this Fantastic Sam's for many years. I rarely give 5 stars to anything unless it is absolutely outstanding. This is close but I do have a few nit-picky things. First off, I have always been treated well. I have found the customer service to be exemplary. Most of the time, Tanya cuts my hair. She almost always cuts it to perfection. I have now known her for many years and she is not only very qualified, but friendly and caring. Occasionally, since she became manager, she gets a little "distracted" when she is cutting. I understand she is dealing with multiple situations, but as a customer, you do want someone's full attention. Maybe it's because she knows me that she feels I don't need as much personal attention. I have not brought it up to her but I think I will next time. Other than that, everything else is great. read more

Tania Rios!!!! My daughter and I have been going to Tania for a few years now. She is amazing!! I am a cancer patient. When I was losing my hair to chemo she gave me a great style before I lost my hair (short) as my hair was very long before it came out! After it grew back until now she has been diligent about the dye and what would be ok for my hair. My styles have been amazing !! She is always working in her craft and is current on the latest applications and a master of color and cut. My daughter had severely damaged hair from bleaching at a previous hair place. Tania has turned her hair around and now it is beautiful!! Growing back and healthy yet keeping the youthful style and color that she desires. She is always professional and gives her undivided attention. Will never go elsewhere!!! A+ read more

I lost my regular person that had been doing my hair for many years. I had tried the FS that was closest to my house and I was very unhappy with the results. So I tried the El Segundo salon and am so grateful for my good fortune at finding Tania! I get my hair cut and colored and even though I had never been to her before, she got my color perfectly, as well as my cut. I've only been going there for about 3 months but I don't see any reason to go to anyone else. Tania is extremely professional and has exceptional customer service skills. I'm going to hang on to her as long as possible! I highly recommend Tania and her salon. read more

Just got my haircut really like there service. Attempted to use a few Barbers in tow and never was happy. Will be coming back.

Tania is absolutely AHH-MAZ-ING! You should definitely try this place out. She cuts with integrity and gives amazing looks. I have been searching for a great hairstylist for a while and Tania is the one. You have to try it for yourself, but its true...She is an absolutely sweet and talented hairstylist, you don't want to miss out :) All I know is that she'll be pretty busy with my big family needing haircuts... read more

I am going to start at the beginning. When I walked in the door. One Star is all this Fantastic Sams would get if my review stopped there. The girl at the desk did not even look up as I approached- further more, I stood there for about two minutes, without hearing one word from her or even a nod to show that she knew I was standing ten inches away. This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I work in customer service, and it always sticks with my when the first person you see at a business is rude. Eventually, I said hello. No hello back, just "what's your phone number?" what?! ok, so i gave it to her and she walked away. Another lady came to help me, and took me to the chair. I was in a rush to get my hair blow dried and curled for a party (this is the only reason I didn't walk out after the first lady). Anyways, things got much better. The lady who did my hair was so friendly and helpful. I have long, thick hair, so curls ususally fall out even before I get to my car, but it stayed great all night!! She quoted me some prices for highlights, and I'm considering trying her out in the future (although I do admit, I'm a little nervous due to a past experience at another place). once i got past that rude girl, it was ok. read more

Norma did a great job. I walked in, asked if someone was available for a shampoo and blow out. Two minutes later and I'm in Norma's chair. She really took her time, didn't rush through it. She obviously takes pride in her work. I usually go to Dry Bar and admittedly, Fantastic Sams is not as hip with the decor but I have had some not so great results at Dry Bar. I will come back to Norma over the Dry Bar any time. read more

I have lived in 6 countries and survived finding hairdressers in each, with good and bad experiences. Therefore, I am SO PLEASED to have found Tania Rios. She saved my hair from "hair disaster" from an accidental 'new to the US' mistake caused by another practitioner. Tania is clever with color and thankfully, realistic. She intelligently approached the problem I brought to her, took the time to understand what I wanted and together we have worked to fix it. I am also doubly blessed because Tania painstakingly works through my hair to allow my silver foxette strands to grow through naturally, without coloring over. You can imagine how specific that is!! I love that she respects my desire to own my silver. Not many professionals would spend the time in a busy salon. I'm so grateful Tania decided to take on another's mistake. It has led me to a great hairdresser whom I have recommended to others. And I'm so grateful that Tania is a ray of sunshine every time I see her. xxxx read more

I've been going to high end salons for years and years (um and years) I used to pay $70 for my haircuts. My husband went to this Fantastic Sams and had his hair cut by Tanya and she did an amazing, edgy cut on him and that was it. Now we both only have our hair cut here. this place really is a gem. Stylish stylists who know their stuff and can do all the xtras the salon's do like permanent straightening, coloring etc. Plus very reasonably priced. read more

SHADY, SHADY, SHADY!! I went in for a quick trim...not expecting much for a $23 cut. I was in the chair for 5 minutes. The lady asked if I wanted my hair dried, for a little extra...Ok, thinking $5. Took, maybe 5 minutes to dry my hair (because she just dampened it for the cut). Get to the counter to pay and it was $45. ARE YOU F***ING KIDDING ME. A little extra is not $22 and who do you think you are?? Salons on Melrose charge $5 for a dry. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN. read more

Customer service is not a word the front desk staff member is very familiar with. The hair stylist did a good job, so that is the only reason I am giving the two stars. This is a service industry customer service does matter! read more

I went to the FS near my house and really did not like them, so I tried this location in El Segundo and LOVED THEM!!! Angela cut my hair exactly how I asked her to. She went above and beyond what I ever would have expected her to do. They even take appointments! She is coloring my hair next week. I think you will love them too!!! read more

Tania Rios and the entire salon are amazing! They are one big family who do a great job treating the customer right. Tania did a great job on my hair and the personal attention to detail and care she delivered was exceptional. The prices are very reasonable as well for the exceptional quality haircut you receive. read more

We LOVE Stefanie. She cuts my two son's hair every 2 months. Knows how i like it and is always consistent. She works quick, as my kids have a hard time sitting still. Thank you Stefanie... read more

I've been coming here for 8 years now. I have an easy guy's haircut and use a different stylist every time. All the people are super nice and they always do a great job. Almost feels like a little family now! Wouldn't go anywhere else as long as I live here. read more

I first met Tania Rios when she and I connected through our business networking group, BNI in November 2015. After years of sticking with the same hair style, I took Tania's advice and went with a much cleaner and professional look which required little maintenance on my part. Tania and her staff are not only great at cutting and styling hair, but they are also friendly too! If you are looking for fantastic hair at a very affordable price, I would recommend visiting Tania and the rest of the Fantastic Sams Team in El Segundo. read more

Fast, great job. Exactly what I like. I also love the bald is beautiful price. I wasn't expecting it ao it was a nice surprise. Kudos to Angie or Angela. At least that's the name I recall on the receipt. I'm really glad I drove alittle farther to el segundo to get this haircut! read more

Yamilla is the best!!!!! She cuts my son's hair too. And she is great with color!

Fantastic transformation thanks to Tania Rios!! I won a Fantastic Sams make-over contest through a radio station and got the best make-over of my life!! I was greeted so pleasantly by Tania and felt comfortable with her right from the start. I was a little hesitant as I don't usually go to Fantastic Sams, but she mad it feel like an up-scale salon. Tania knew what to do with my hair right from the start and worked her magic. I had purple streaked hair and the canvas I gave her to work with was not good, but she rocked my world. My color is a vibrant red and my cut is a cut A-frame and I am just loving it. She is so talented and I plan on going back as a regular. The owner was also there and he went out of his way to buy me a Starbucks and gave me a bag full of products. It was an awesome experience and I really felt pampered!! Thanks read more

First visit to Fantastic Sams this past weekend. As mentioned in other reviews I read for Fantastic Sams, the reception wasn't good. Also, on check-out it was a bit confusing as to charges, we never got a breakdown of how the charges were calculated. But all in all, it was a great experience thanks to our stylist Jamila and the Manager who did her best to correct the reception issue. Will definitely return! read more
