I've been seeing Erek for years, and I can't imagine trusting anyone else with my hair. He's incredibly talented, genuinely charming, and one of those rare people who can make every appointment feel like catching up with an old friend. I happily drive over an hour just to see him because both Erek and the salon are absolutely worth the trip. From the moment you sit in his chair, you know you're in expert hands. His shampoo and scalp massage are unbelievably relaxing--honestly, worth the appointment on their own. He has a way of making every client feel like a rockstar, and you leave feeling just as amazing as you look. I usually air-dry my hair to embrace my natural waves, but whenever I treat myself to one of Erek's blowouts, I'm reminded why he's the best. They last for days, look incredible, and somehow make me feel effortlessly put together. What truly sets Erek apart is his artistry. Whether your style is classic and polished or bold and edgy, he has an incredible eye for creating a look that feels uniquely you. Watching him cut hair is like watching a master at work--equal parts choreography, artistry, and magic. His precision, creativity, and confidence are mesmerizing. If you're looking for a stylist who is exceptionally skilled, endlessly creative, and genuinely passionate about what he does, Erek is simply unmatched. Every appointment is an experience, and I leave feeling more confident than when I walked in. I couldn't recommend him more highly. read more

Hair by Erek J - Hair Stylists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Erek is such a great stylist!! He gave me the exact cut and color that I was looking for after spending years at other hair salons which made me think it was not achievable! I naturally have a shade of blonde that is usually pretty tricky to get color for, but his coloring was exactly what I was looking for and it still looks so natural! He truly listened to what I wanted, offered suggestions, and guided me through the appt every step of the way. He also is just a genuinely awesome person and a blast to talk to! Highly recommend!! I will definitely be coming back for all coloring and cuts! read more

First time client here. As soon as i walked in i was attended. Erek listened to what i wanted and my concerns. This was very important for me as a client because the week prior I had one of the worst haircuts of my life. Shampoo was amazing (almost fell asleep because it was so therapeutic). I walked in with a botched bob, looking like lord farquad and came out with a sleek, top notch bob thanks to Erek. Seriously, so glad i found him. Overall, loved my service and ending results. Vibe of the salon was also great. Will definitely be going back for my next haircut! read more

This man literally changed my whole attitude about my hair! I have ultra-fine, limp hair that I've kept in a pixie cut for 20 years. During pandemic, I grew it out to bob length, and let Erek start styling it. Now I absolutely LOVE my hair! It's so easy to style, I hardly ever have "bad hair days", and I get compliments on it all the time. He's just the best! read more

Erek gave me the best haircut of my life - no exaggeration. He listened to what I was looking for in my cut, and he definitely delivered! I asked for Bardot-ish bangs and 90's supermodel hair, and he got it right away. I have been IN LOVE with my hair since! I'm posting a photo with this of my hair after class at Hot8, and my hair was still fire. I hope he's ready for a long term commitment because I will not be seeing anyone else for my hair! ‍ read more

Hair by Erek J - Hair Stylists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Erek is the only person I will ever trust to make me blonde! When I first reached out to him, I had naturally medium brown hair down to my waist. It's been three years of consistent bleached glow up and my hair is still healthy, which I didn't even know was possible. Every little tweak and adjustment to the cut, every confusing unattainable reference I show him - he listens and asks questions and makes it happen. I genuinely look forward to getting my hair done, he has it down to a science. And I'm so grateful I don't have to stress about how it turns out! Complete faith in the process thanks to Erek. Thanks for making me feel more myself than ever!! read more

Erek rocks! I love my hair and it's all thanks to Erek, he does a great job and makes me feel super comfortable.

I usually drive to Redondo Beach to my old stylist. I'm glad my guy moved away or I would have never met Erek! He LISTENED to what I wanted. I said -please don't cut more than an inch and he didn't. Told him "not too blonde" and gave me the perfect color & cut! Worth every penny , I've paid more in other places and never been so happy with the results!! Seriously, the BEST!!! And again , HE LISTENED! I didn't end up with 5 inches off but one inch exactly. read more

Erek saved my hair!! I was looking for a place that had flexible hours as I work 10-7 and was lucky enough to find Erek on here. Scheduling was very simple- done over text- and we scheduled an 8:30pm appointment Thursday night before the long weekend. I am naturally a greyish blonde and had been getting sunny highlights for the past few years until I eventually decided to go bleach blonde...did not suite me. All I can say is my hair was a damaged mess by the time I got to Erek. I showed him a few photos of my hair pre-bleach and he gave me a colour correction/ balayage and a haircut. I didn't realize I needed the cut just as much as the colour! Erek is very chill and the process was laid back and relaxing... we even sat outside for a bit as my color set. He also gave me the best blowout I have had in years... lasted me the entire weekend. Highly recommend, very tasteful, very talented. read more

I had been cutting my hair my self for the last 5 years and Erek put my nerves at ease. Best of all he gave my boring hair style and life with a edgy face frame that accented my heart shapes face perfectly. He cut it with OUT cutting into it. Which I have had others do with thinning sheers the result was healthy, bouncing hair that I get compliments on. I definitely would recommend him to any of my friends and especially anyone scared of cutting their hair that needs someone they can relax and TRUST! read more

Hair by Erek J - Hair cut - Hair Stylists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Erek has been doing my hair for years, and I have been beyond pleased every time whether it is a head turning color or a rockin' haircut. He has mad wicked skills that fit any personality or style. You will not be let down with his talents. read more

Erek is the best stylist. He pays great attention to detail and takes his time to deliver the best cut every time. Really sweet guy and personality too. The spot is low-key and easy to access. There's a small parking lot and ample street parking. Scheduling an appointment is super easy via text message and response time is almost instant. Highly recommend! Bonus tip: Erek is rumored to know the names and origin story of every Game of Thrones character. Ask him about it. read more

Hey so, I travel from Solvang once a month to get my hair coloring(s) by stylist Erek J. I swear he's the only stylist I have ever known who has - juju on my scalp. No matter how damaged my hair is, once E puts his hands on my hair, it starts to grow again.... Lol He's truly an artist when it comes to hair. If you have curly hair and can't stand it, go get a wash and blow out... You will be amazed at how smooth and awesome your hair will look with just a blow out! Yeah if he weren't the Best I would be in Solvang or Santa Barbara still getting my hair wrecked by stylist who don't know a thing about curly hair. Good luck y'all! read more

Erek is amazing! He does a fabulous job and the scalp massage (during the shampooing) is worth the money alone! I had Erek do my hair for my wedding- complete with extensions- and couldn't have been happier! I would recommend him wholeheartedly. read more

I am in LOVE with my look!! This is the second time I've had Erek color my hair, and each time I have left completely satisfied. The salon itself is air conditioned, which is a plus on hot summer days, and never packed with people, so you really feel like you get that intimate one on one time with your stylist. I don't feel rushed or like just another client when I'm getting my hair done by Erek. He truly takes the time to examine your hair and listen to exactly what you'd like to have done. There's enough parking in the small lot, a rare commodity in Los Angeles! There's also a pizza place right next door, in case you're getting bleached, like me, and need mid-way a snack. I am truly pleased with the work that Erek does and I will definitely be coming back! read more

Hair by Erek J - Hair color by Erek J. So in love!! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

"Erek J is amazing. I'll follow him anywhere. Strangers stop me to ask about my hair. He's one stop shopping for head turning color and cuts. He's taken me from red, to an almost blonde-ish, to bangs, and even does keratin treatments. Im an attorney so I have to stay professional-ish but also like to stay fun and sexy. Erek is so fun even my husband likes to hang out with him sometimes! He can talk anything from pop culture (ask him which Kardashian he prefers) to indie films to the Simpson and don't even get him started on comic books/super heros! Scheduling is always super easy and he's really flexible. Best part MIGHT BE the free parking. The salon is really laid back so it feels like a private session and you can totally relax. read more

I was going to the same Hair Dresser for many years and was burnt out on driving as far as I was. And in all honesty I was for some reason liking my hair less and less. So I asked a friend for a referral and she told me about Erek. Flash to I walk in, with a photo of course of what I had in mind. Same thing I almost always get a bob with blunt bangs. And I had been trying to grow out one side because about a year ago I thought I'd shave a side. Bad idea on my part for sure. He took a look at the photo. I explained I hated that one side was shorter than the other and where my old hair dresser would say "oh don't touch it let's just let it grow", Erek gave my the Best Bob I have had since probably the 90's when I would go to Vidal Sassoon. That says a lot. My hair is now all even (he said not exactly but close) and looks incredible. Meaning it's exactly what I wanted and way more. I know he's amazing at color so now I plan on sending my whole family. Even my mother in law said "who gave you that great hair cut". I can't suggest him enough and he doesn't even know I'm writing this. Yelp many times is just friends writing for their friends, at least in my experience. This guys GREAT. Located right near Baller Hardware and Tomato Pie in Silver Lake on Hyperion. Easy parking and not a overwhelming salon. Totally mellow and relaxed and exactly what I was hoping for. read more

Erek is the best! Seriously. My hair was in desperate need of some help, and Erek came to the rescue. The only parameters I gave him were " I don't want a " mom" cut, and I want to be blonde". I left the rest up to him and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Erek! I will definitely be back for another great salon experience read more

Erek is a magician when it comes to coloring your locks...He knows his s***! I know my hair will be handled with the upmost care and skill when seeing Erek. He's down to earth and funny, always makes sure I'm 100% satisfied and smiling! I can't say anything negative about this guy and his awesome skills! What are you F***ing waiting for? Go get your hair done! You won't regret it! read more

Erek J is the best colorist I have ever been too. Hands down. Also, on my last visit he sat me outside in the shade and did my Brazilian blowout. It was so nice not to be inhaling those fumes, and to sit outside in the warm So Cal air and enjoy a chat with Erek. It was so cool. The chair was set up under a big canopy and it was just as cozy, if not cozier than being indoors. What a great idea. I highly recommend Erek. He is a great stylist too. And you will have fun! CALL. You can trust him to do a great job for all your hair needs! read more

I have been Ereks client for 8 years at least. I've traveled with him to where ever he goes. He has cut and colored my hair so many ways. He's amazing at color. Especially blonde! Knows how to keep it cool and edgy. read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Erek for the last 4 years. I like that I can walk in, start telling a story, and he just guides me to where I need to be. I just blab away and after 30 relaxing minutes...I'm purged, rejuvenated, and my dome looks fresh! And I didn't have to say a word about how I wanted my hair cut. It just HAPPENS with Erek! read more

I've been coming to Erek for about a year and now I will never go anywhere else. He just knows how to make my hair look good and that is no mean achievement. Add that to the fact that he is an all around joy to spend time with, he's very reasonably priced and the salon is conveniently located next to a pizza joint- you'd be mad to go anywhere else. I'm all Erek, all the time. Join me. read more

I've been going to Erek for 6+ years now and I'm hooked. I've tried to find other stylists in my neighborhood but no one does hair like Erek J. I highly recommend him. His scalp massage will make you melt, and if you opt for a color, people will be commenting on it for days, asking where you got your hair done. Simply the best. read more
