This is by far my best experience with hair stylist. I love this girl. She did my wedding hair & it was stunning. Note: I have lots of hair volume & it's very difficult to style it . However Jennifer knows. She is so good at it She is patient & very good with colors / designs. read more

When it comes to your hair, its important to go someone you can trust! I have been getting my hair cut and colored by Jennifer for over a year now. I am Constantly getting compliments on my color! Jennifer is so knowledgeable that it's more of a relaxing hair appointment rather then sitting there nervous about how your hair is going to turn out! read more

Jennifer is nothing short of absolutely incredible!! She worked tirelessly to treat my hair, and the result was unparalleled by any other hairdresser I've ever come across before in my life!!! I forgot to take a  "before" picture unfortunately, but my hair was extremely dry, brittle with so many split ends and the colouring was patchy and pretty horrible. Now, the colour is more than perfect and my hair looks the most healthy that it's ever been (see below!) Please do yourself and your hair the best favour by booking Jennifer for an appointment. You will be infatuated with the results- garunteed!! Thank you so incredibly much, Jennifer!!! read more

See all

Jennifer is awesome! I have been to so many stylists throughout my life of coloring my hair and when I found Jennifer, I was done searching. She always listens to what and provides her expertise on it. I change my hair a lot and am always changing my mind, but she is always accommodating and will get it done. I have recommended gf's who are now sold on her too. She's creative, knows what she's doing and a very cool chick all around. Highly recommend her for all your beautifying needs :) read more

From purple to red. Jennifer works miracles. Go see her if you want a good color job or want the color taken out without killing your hair. read more

I don't know how else to start this review other than by saying that I love my haircut and color. I arrived ten minutes late but Jen was really nice about it. We then sat down to talk about my color, I let her know that I wanted something lighter than my natural hair color but darker than my faded ends. She was able to determine just by looking at my hair which color I wanted/what I originally had. I really appreciated Jen's expertise on understanding what I wanted and being able to construct it with the palette of colors they had. I'm not sure if it was because of her expert knowledge of how to apply hair dye or if it is because of the fact davines dye is less damaging than normal dye, but I feel like my hair looks incredibly healthier now, not that I didn't think it looked healthy before, but it definitely looks amazing now and has a great shine. After the color was the cut. Since i was running late, I didn't have a chance to print out a picture of the haircut I liked. It was very convenient that they had internet and a computer in the salon so we were able to look up the picture. I let her know that I wanted to part my hair further to my left than I normally do, but I have fine hair and not a lot of it so we ran into the problem of noticeably less hair on my left side. But I really wanted to part it further and she was able to fix the problem! By suggesting we do a zigzag part. Then she gave me the rest of the cut and I now have noticeably more volume on both sides of my hair. And since my last haircut was in march, my ends look great now too. The great thing was that before I went to Jen, I was considering getting extensions. Now extensions at salons were way too expensive for me, I was quoted 1200 at a salon and as a student there's no way I can afford to do that and do upkeep, so i was seriously considering buying clip on extensions to give myself some more volume. But i was kind of iffy about them because they're not always the right length, right color, and sometimes they damage your own hair. So Jen unknowingly saved me a couple hundred bucks and possibly damage to my own hair by giving me the cut she did. It was almost like she read my mind or was able ot interpret what I said to know that I wanted more volume. During the color we kind of talked about how my hair had been tangling lately, and she introduced this detangler product called dede to me. At first I was hesitant on buying it because it was $27 and I've had so many bad experiences with buying hair products that don't work that I didn't want to waste my money. She told me that this was one of the few products that she believed in and I am glad I took her word for it. I've only used this product twice and it is amazing. I definitely got my money's worth on this one. After reading that review on the yelper's bad experience where she tipped 30% for her haircut she didn't like, I hope my tip was considered generous enough. read more

Jennifer has been doing my hair for years! We've done almost every color in the book, blonde, red, brown and now even pink. It always looks amazing and she always keeps the integrity of my hair. She uses the Davines products which I absolutely love. Jennifer is a color specialist that can help you achieve almost any color you want! Highly recommended! read more

Ok so I found Jennifer through Yelp and I decided to go to her because of all the great reviews. I have to say I was not disappointed, this girl knows hair! I wasn't 100% sure of what exactly I wanted but I knew I wanted long layers. She knew exactly what to do, my hair looks awesome and she took the time she needed to make my hair look great! If you are freaked out by haircuts like I am, Jennifer is the best. She does what you ask and does it very well. Wonderful personality along with the rest of the staff I met while I was there. Jennifer cuts out of Gods and Hero's, which I might say is the coolest place I have ever had my hair cut. The whole overall experience was just amazing and I am now a loyal customer for as long as Jennifer and Gods and Heros are there. If they move... I will stalk them LOL read more

Jen is absolutely amazing!! I'm new to LA and needed to find a hairdresser. I have really bad trust issues when it comes to people doing my hair and I'm so happy I trusted her with it. She SAVED my hair. It looks and feels amazing now. Thank you, Jennifer! You're LA's hidden gem! read more

Jennifer baker is my stylist & I truly recommend her! She's awesome and friendly.....Go to Jen she's the best!

I've been going to Jennifer Baker for awhile now and have yet to be disappointed. I have extremely long difficult thick coarse hair so I know it can be a total hassle. She's always helped me with new ideas if I ever get bored (which I'm always bored with my hair.) anyways she's great. And I totally recommend her. :) read more

I've been a client of Jennifer's for several years. She does a wonderful job with my color. I used to think I was doing an ok job with dying my own hair at home but what a difference to have a true professional do your color. I won't go to anyone else. read more

I love this woman! She is an amazing stylist and a very cool person. I have been going to her for three years now for cuts and highlights. I would frequently change stylists before, but no longer! Jennifer has moved to the Living Room in Costa Mesa, which is a great salon. However, I would follow her anywhere. read more

Ask for Jennifer Baker she is the best stylist in OC!!! She always freshens up my balayage and leaves me with the best blow dry! She isn't just a stylist that specializes in cuts or color, but is an overall great stylist and does amazing at both. Go see Jen!!! read more

AMAZED. I've never written a review on Yelp before, but honestly I felt I just HAD to do one for Gods and Heros' very own Jennifer Baker!! I'm beyond impressed and have recommended her to several people already; people have been asking me where I get my hair done all the time since I started going to her and as much as I want to keep her all to myself, of course I have to tell them ALL about her! She is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable about hair and she puts so much care and time, never rushes. I first had her do some major make-over to my hair and it took over 4 hours. **By no means was she slow though; I just had a very demanding procedure and can't believe she was so willing to, first, actually do it for me, and second, perfect it! Despite how much I had her do, she didn't charge me an absurd bill!! I was so fearful that since I demanded so much from her (time, labor, supplies, etc.), that she would arbitrarily increase the price for me; but nope!! Price was INSANELY reasonable! She works for fashion shows and other big events outside of this salon and it definitely shows in her work; she is a color wizzzz and she can "read" hair so well. She could predict all my hair habits from just that very first visit with her. Seriously so impressed by her! More details about my first visit: I have veryyyy veryyyy long hair, it extends all the way down to the top of my behind. It is relatively "Asian" hair &pretty damaged, as I've dyed it probably over 30-40 times (beginning when I was about 10 years old.. I'm now 20). I always struggled to find a stylist I LOVED because most people can't keep the "copper" or "orange" tone out-- I CAN NOT STAND brassy tones in my hair- &&they charge ridiculous prices just because my hair is so long. On my first visit with Jennifer, I first had her ombre my hair from an ashy brown descending into a light ashy blonde. We all know how badly this can go if it doesn't blend well- who wants an abrupt line dividing between the brown and blonde? NO ONE. Jennifer made it seamless! It flowed so well and looked sooooo natural. I definitely could have stopped here if I wanted to, but like I said earlier, I asked her to do a lotta damage! So after the ombre, I had her ombre in pink at the end-- a 3-toned ombre effect I guess! Obviously this is really funky and has sooooo much potential to be tacky. but. I'M OBSESSED. Her technique blended it in so well, in a "natural" way-- obviously pink isn't a natural color, but the gradient from the brown to blonde to pink was so smooth that it looked "natural." It was sooo pretty! I'm not at all a "punk" or "fob" or any "type" of person/particular style, and I "pulled it off." I posted a picture of it on my facebook, and easily got over 120 likes within the first few hours! &&that's not very normal!! It was seriously so pretty and so well executed! She was soooo careful and strategic the entire time; keeping in consideration that my hair wasn't the healthiest haha! She gave me advice on how to treat it after I left the salon and my favorite part, SHE contacted ME for several days after to check up on my hair and my habits each day! She's seriously so sweet!!! Some of my friends have already switched over to her :D anddd, the salon itself is awesome!! the decor and the vibe is so young and urban. so trendy! YAY for my newly-favorite stylist ever!!! :) read more

I have been approached by many stylists, gifted many "COMPLIMENTARY sessions" and been asked to be a hair model for umpteen colorist.. I ran away from ALL of them ... UNTIL I met Jennifer. As an actress, your hair gets colored, cut, styled and REstyled on such a regular basis, it's like it's a boxer in the ring who NEVER gets a day off.. and well, you're kind of attached to your hair so the LAST thing I want to do when I'm not on set dealing with having it done (usually OVERdone because a director wants it just so etc.), is to go back into a chair that's going to feel like extended torture. This is the first stylist I have trusted with my color and cut who has NEVER once ever done anything other than make me go "WOW, that looks amazing". She is current, she is instinctively candid (which although we have a funny story on how she responded to a certain set of extensions I had on a photo shoot), I LOVE that she will never every lie to you and tell you that something looks "amazing" when it does not. She is attentive to what matches your skin tone while also acknowledging and respecting your own inspirations and visions for your look. I always judge a stylist but THEIR own presentation (some say this is unfair but how else can you trust someone to interpret YOUR style if you don't respond to theirs). She has an infectious style and manner which reflects ALL the things that make hair important.. people notice HER even though she dressed more new yorker than LA and it's because she really SUITS her cuts and hair styles... THAT alone should make you feel like you are in the hands of someone who "gets it"... Jennifer is also SUPER fast... and knows everything about everything to do with the products she puts on you. Don't even try to google one on her.. she's a hair ninja for information. She has turned me on to some of the most amazing products for my hair color and since going to her, I get complimented pretty much every time I go out.. especially when I get photographed. It's a FIRST for me in LA to actually admit that I have found a hair stylist who FAR FAR FAR exceeded my expectations of what was possible... and yet there she is. Well worth the drive and hope to see her in West Hollywood soon ... she's a GIFT to the industry. read more

I was having trouble with my hair color and was just putting off doing anything about it. Then Jennifer made room in her schedule one Friday and turned everything around. Not only was she quick but she made me look and feel beautiful again. I can not imagine letting anyone else color my hair! read more

Jennifer is awesome. I moved down from San Francisco and was so depressed to leave my stylist and colorist up there. I thought I would never find anyone else who was that good. Then I met Jennifer and she was amazing. She does great cuts, amazing color and did Brazilian Blow Out on me recently and I LOVE IT!!! She is totally customer service focused, is extremely talented and mellow to be around. She is realistic about what is going to look good and gives great advice. Listen to her and you will end up thrilled with your hair! read more

Jennifer is amazing! I've been seeing her for many years now and I'm never disappointed. My hair always looks healthy and natural, even going from blonde to red and now back to blonde. She never fails to go above and beyond my expectations. If you want to feel & look fabulous then I highly recommend you give Jennifer a call! read more

I'm very picky with who touches my hair...I have thin, curly, frizzy hair which needs some extra TLC. When I lived in NYC, I really only trusted 2 hairstylists to ever blow out and style my mane. When I moved to the OC in 2010, I was desperate to find someone who could a) know and understand my hair and b) be someone I felt comfortable with, since I tend to get my hair done at least 2-3x/month. I went on Yelp, Citysearch, etc and tried out a few (not so good) salons and stylists before I found Jenn at her last place, Shanghai. She was awesome! We clicked right away. And since she has moved to Gods & Heroes, she is even closer to my office and home! Not only is Jennifer amazing with my hair and really knowledgeable when it comes to product usage, color and at home styling tips, but she is also an uber-cool and down to earth person. I count my blessings to have found her in this land of over-processed, cheesy blonde highlighted cougars. She is anything but cheesy! Give her a try, you and your mane will not be sorry. read more
