Caleb was my stylist today. Loved my haircut and Arcagenol hair treatment. The hair already feels soft and smooth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And all the staff were nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely coming back! read more

Caleb gave me the perfect layered haircut! I absolutely love it! Helen's scalp product (head spa& hair pack) recommendation has also been amazing. Thank you both! Highly recommend! read more

I recently visited Hair Arca to cut off my damaged ends, and they absolutely did not disappoint! I was honestly a little nervous about going shorter. I have a small head, my hair tends to fall flat, and past short haircuts have made me look older than I actually am. But Caleb completely changed my perspective. He took the time to create a cut that complemented my facial features perfectly. The result? My face looks brighter, more defined, and so much more youthful! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I walked out feeling lighter, refreshed, and so much more confident.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (I'm honestly a little embarrassed my sweater didn't do the haircut justice. I should've dressed cuter today! ) Before the haircut, Helen washed my hair and treated my scalp with the Arca Genol Head Spa & Hair Pack, followed by the most relaxing scalp massage. As someone who struggles with an itchy scalp and dandruff, I was genuinely amazed. My scalp felt instant relief, and even now I'm not scratching my head at all. It leaves such a soothing, cooling sensation that's perfect for the summer. If you're looking for a fresh new hairstyle, talented stylists who truly care about finding the right look for you, and a scalp treatment that actually works, I highly recommend checking out Hair Arca. And if you fall in love with the Arca Genol Head Spa & Hair Pack like I did, you can even order it on Amazon. Treat yourself. You won't regret it! read more

Hair Arca - Old look to new, fresh look! - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Stopped by here after seeing a TikTok and was welcomed by Helen who started me off with a hair wash and scalp massage, very pleasant![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Helen was friendly and made the experience more comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They give you a locker in the beginning to put away anything you might want to keep safe while getting your cut. After my wash they brought me to Caleb who was extremely professional. One reference photo and he figured out exactly what I needed and was extremely quick. He gave off a very confident air that makes you feel like you can trust him with your hair. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Offered some refreshments as well which was nice of them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall pleasant and quick experience, would return.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The staff at the salon is lovely, attentive, and kind. Lisa was great and I really appreciate her. I had come here a few other times for simple trims and my hair came out great. This most recent time however was very different. I was traveling from across town and there was an accident on the freeway that pushed back my arrival. My appointment was at 1pm. I called twenty minutes prior to inform them I would arrive at 1:08 and they said that was not a problem. I arrive at 1:06. Caleb seemed irritated. I showed him the reference photo and he began working on my hair. I only wanted a trim and some wispy bangs. He rushed through the entire cut. Half way through he began working on another client and then returned 15 minutes later. I was trusting the process but the end result was nothing like the photo I showed him. I attached them for reference but I am absolutely devastated by what I received. He overbooks his appointments so if you want something even remotely complex there is little to no attention to detail and he gives you whatever he deems is close enough. Each cut is given roughly 15-20 minutes however if you want more than a trim done, far more time is necessary. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]So happy I got my haircut done by Caleb.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He's very fast at cutting hair which can feel intimidating for most. However, he can replicate the picture of the haircut you want very well. I was extremely satisfied by my haircut. the vibe is also very relaxing. read more

I had a terrible experience and am incredibly disappointed with a $120 haircut plus tip. I came in asking for a blended, texturized lob and showed clear reference photos. Caleb took a quick look and spent less than 15 minutes rushing through my hair, leaving the top layers completely disconnected from the bottom. It literally looks like a blunt bowl cut sitting on top of a straight curtain of hair (see my photos). When I told him it didn't look right, he just dismissed it, blaming the blow-dry and saying "I think the layering looks good." On top of that, the assistant's blow-dry was an incredibly outdated style that made me look like an ajuma. I contacted the salon to get a refund so I could pay a different salon to fix the structural mistake, but the receptionist hung up on me. I messaged management with photos, and they just sent back script responses refusing a refund. Careless and unprofessional. Check the photos to see the disconnect for yourself. UPDATE: The salon's response completely misses the point. This isn't a styling issue or a limitation of my "hair density"--it's a fundamental technical error. Rushing through my dense hair in less than 15 minutes is exactly why I was left with a blunt, blocky bowl-cut shelf sitting on top of a straight curtain of hair. Also, their "detailed communication" was just a copy-pasted script refusing a refund. I am not comfortable letting the same stylist cut more of my hair to "refine" a mistake he dismissed in the chair. read more

Love this salon and return every single time! Caleb is amazing at not only doing what needs to be done but also at consulting in improving how the style could look. Done so efficiently, with care and such an amazing, kind team. Have been getting cuts here regularly and recently got a digital perm that turned out great! read more

God this is consistent the best cut and color I've ever had in la, like I've tried a lot of places and no one gets the exact look I want like Hair Arca. The little massage while you get your hair washed is also heavenly. My boy Caleb crushed the cut and color and Helen used this incredible cream called head spa and hair that I will 100% be purchasing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Half hour quicker than expected 10/10 and the vibe is amazing it's such a pretty space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

10/10 hair cut experience! Caleb Kim was so quick and detailed. Came for a hush-cut and it was exactly like the photo I showed. I was in and out in less than an hour! The staff was super friendly and attentive as well. read more

Luna and Stacey are both great and very talented! $120 for a hair cut, free parking on side street or meters and parking lot that validates! Very relaxing hair and scalp massage for the hair cut! read more

My first time at Hair Arca. Thank you Caleb for the grace digital perm! I Love it! the girls at the salon were all so undercut and friendly.

I had an amazing experience from start to finish! Before my haircut, I treated myself to the hair spa service with Helen, and it was wonderful- she used the Arca Genol hair product on me, which smelled incredible and left my scalp feeling so fresh and clean. Such a relaxing way to start the appointment. My haircut with Caleb was honestly the best I've had in a long time. I have a lot of hair, and it's thick and coarse, so it's not always easy to work with:but Caleb nailed my request 100%. I asked for long layers, and my hair feels absolutely amazing now, so much lighter and more manageable without losing any length. The styling afterward was the perfect finishing touch. Highly recommend both Helen and Caleb! read more

First timer here & it was highly recommended by instagram folks and multiple online platforms. I'm only giving it 1 stars for the hair shampoo and dying was up to my liking and Lisa was pretty hard working when she was being told to do stuff left and right from blow drying to moving certain tables to shampooing customer's hair to putting towels into the dryer. Helen was very interactive while my hair was getting dyed. Very friendly. Caleb was my stylist. He was being efficient but sad to say he didn't meet my expectations with my haircut. He gave off high aurora after showing a pic of what I wanted once, which the cut wasn't similar to what my photo has shown to him. I didn't except my bangs to be this short and up against my face when the photo shown to be curtain bangs. I think he tried to style it a bit more so it covered up the bangs being messed up. I think this place is more so better at just dying and head spa treatment than cuts personal opinion wise I felt semi pressured to tip them so the cut wasn't worth over $300 for... Edit: I gave them a call after few minutes leaving the shop to ask for a refund. Caleb himself told the receptionist that they can't do that cause "time was spent cutting the hair"....20-25 min cut is equivalent to well spent. That's insane. I have shared to Helen, during my session earlier, that I've done some research on salons prior to settling down with this salon to cut my hair. I expected to feel renewed but it's the reverse. Personally I feel like when someone walks out of a salon with a new hair cut, you're basically getting a free advertisement for your product but I'm not proud of my cut to say that I'm walking out in public with confidence. Especially the fact that a hair cut helps bring an image/impression of someone. I'm glad I wasn't going on a date/interview or anywhere that needs to be physically presentable cause this cut would ruin it. Should've looked at the review made by someone 2 months ago who wanted a wolf cut too...I much rather have my hair looking like a mop than this. As the manager and head stylist of this shop, you shouldn't be proud that not just one but two customers has left reviews that aren't pleased with their cut, a free voucher to come back to get it "fixed" isn't gonna cut it. What else are you gonna cut? My bangs that's already beyond my forehead? Are you going to buzz off my hair too? On the call, I only asked for a refund for the cut (around $111) and not the full refund price of $375 including tax. But to state saying he doesn't even want a cut refund is ridiculous...it comes off as you're not apologetic for ruining someone's image for the next few months....spraying product on my hair isn't gonna hide the fact that you ruined the cut and it's nowhere close to the reference photo... Mind you, Caleb has never mentioned to me that the photo of my choice as reference was too long for my hair prior to cutting it. The only thing he kept emphasizing on was "you want to keep the back long right?". He also never mentioned to me that he would cut my bangs extremely short either, that's not even close to how the bangs are suppose to look like in the reference photo. The reference photo bangs were CURTAIN BANGS not SHORT, BOWL LIKE BANGS read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Caleb is amazing, but the customer experience was bad[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - [[HIGHLIGHT]]I never asked for any discount but they asked me to write a review in exchange for credit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I initially agreed to, but only after writing a review, they said no credit since it's not my first yelp review.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Later they asked me to write a Google review, and I refused.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I don't need a $6 discount for the amount of time of energy wasted. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As a repeated customer for 2 years, I felt offended by the checkout experience and their confusing communication.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are a lot of hair salons in the area, i can get much better customer service somewhere else.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I love my haircut!! I looked at the review photos online to decide what kind of cut I wanted and landed on a hush cut. It looks how I envisioned it. For context, I normally only get simple layers and get my hair cut once a year but I might consider coming here at least twice a year. The service here was amazing! When you first arrive, there are lockers to put your bags in and an area for a hair wash. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They are friendly, chatty if you want to be, and provide recommendations for your hair type.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One issue I've been trying to tackle is my dry scalp - after shampoo was applied, they recommended the Arca Genol head spa and hair pack product which genuinely nourished and refreshed my scalp. [[HIGHLIGHT]]After, I was taken to the cut area where they asked what I wanted. I showed reference photos and gave the option of layers vs hush cut - whichever Caleb thought was the best for my face shape.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He proceeded to cut my dead hair off and style like a pro. I'm very pleased with my hush cut and longer curtain bangs, pre and post styling. Would recommend coming here! read more

This place is all hype. I recently moved to LA and was looking for a reasonably priced salon that actually delivers quality--but this was a huge disappointment. The haircut took maybe 5-10 minutes, and it felt rushed and careless, like they were just chopping away without any attention to detail. It seemed more focused on appearance than actual skill. I was honestly shocked at how bad it turned out, and by the next day, my hair looked even worse. A good haircut should complement your face and still look decent even after you've slept on it. This didn't come close. Thankfully, I've since found a salon that takes the time to do precise, detailed cuts that grow out well and still look good even after a couple of months. Would not recommend this place at all. read more

I've been searching for perfect beach waves. This place has a menu of perms and I'm walking out with a huge smile. Caleb- a master at hair. Will be back! read more

I always come for a hair cut / touch up with Caleb at hair arca and I trust him to do it right every time. I get haircut anxiety so I only go to someone I trust!! I like that Caleb never does something I didn't ask for, like some other hair stylists. If i want a 2 inch cut, then 2 inches it will be. I also think that they give the best hair wash in LA, like seriously. They use their own brand hair spa scalp treatment which is minty and feels so refreshing. Super recommend! will be back again and again read more

Super friendly staff and pleasant experience The cut itself was about 10-15 minutes but they washed my hair at start and again at the end with scalp massage I was surprised to see so many men while I was there because I came home and my gf noticed several uneven and incomplete parts to my hair cut I was going to say they're clearly great at cutting women's hair and that I wouldn't recommend this salon to men but I assume their existing male customer base is happy read more

My son has seen Caleb for the past two years and is very happy with the variety of cuts he has gotten. I am pleased with results and price point. Not selling styling product is a hit miss in my view, my son has a-lot of hair and blindly finding the appropriate products to tame it means we've spent a-lot through trial and error.. read more

Caleb's build perm is the best!! I did my first Korean build perm with Caleb 3 years ago, it lasted a very long time, and I took a break to let me hair recover, but I have been wanting to come back! Caleb took the time to consult with me, decide on a style (it's great he has the lookbook), and we did hair bangs and the perm we chose. He also took the time to explain how to style it. I love the look!! Also love all the friendly staff!! Good vibes all around! read more
