If you're in need of a good vibe, a relaxed atmosphere, and a stylist that is talented and…read more passionate about delivering excellent service ( who makes a killer coffee by the way) you've just found her! Service: I went in with Didem not really knowing what I wanted but knowing I needed something different. Before our appointment she was amazing at communicating and going over my photo inspiration while also giving me some positive feedback and styling suggestions. She turned my black box dyed hair into a vibrant rasberry red which I am obsessed with, and have received endless compliments on. . Products: A huge plus to note is the quality products she uses, the hair color brand she carries is ammonia free, eco- certified and organic and checks so many more boxes in the realm of sustainability and transparency. Looking good doesnt have to be a bad thing, and I'm so happy that I found a stylist who is aware and cares about the products she uses. Location: In the same shopping center where Yardhouse, Starbucks is located. Take the elevator or Escalators up to cholo Cafe. The salon is on the same level- right above the H&M- Call Didem when you arrive so she meets you outside. Parking: It's underground paid parking, but Didem validates and its free for the 1st two hours I believe. (Make sure you drive and park at the very end near El Cholo Cafe /on the H&M side so you don't have to walk through the entire plaza ( unless you don't mind) Also, just a side note If you book a longer service you might have to pay around $7 or little less. And last resort in case you don't want to pay for parking at all is to look for free street parking. Hope this review is helpful to anyone in need of an amazing hair stylist! I'm super excited in booking my next service with Didem!

I had the opportunity to be a hair model for Emily at Jane Alea Salon, and I couldn't be happier…read morewith the results! She gave me a beautiful mid-length layered bob that suits me perfectly. She knew exactly how many layers to add to give my fine hair movement and volume without making it look thin. The cut feels light, easy to style, and has so much more life. She was professional, attentive, and clearly has a great eye for what works best with different hair types. I highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who truly understands how to customize a haircut to your hair and face shape!

She showed me color options and gave me her opinions which helped narrow down what color we would end up doing. Emily's personality is also so amazing. She's so outgoing and nice and it just felt like we were friends hanging out. I highly recommend booking with her. My hair turned out so well! The salon is also so nice and clean. It's located by El Portal and yes, there's a parking lot for them.

Jessica has been taming my mane for many years. I have very thick, coarse and wavy hair which makes…read moreit challenging for most stylists. But not Jessica! I'm sure every client is different, depending on their needs and hair type, but I love the fact that she cuts, wet and dry to ensure everything is perfect. The beauty of being loyal to your hairdresser is that eventually they understand how to balance style/cut that suits your lifestyle; so for me, although I have a head of hair - I am super low maintenance and don't like to use a lot of product so she knows what to do without me having to explain. Sometimes I will venture out with my cut, recently growing out an asymmetrical Bob that I had rocked for a few years! Additionally, her new salon space is awesome! Super cute and conveniently located in old town Pasadena where I am tempted to shop and show off my fresh cut after an appointment he he Thank you girl for making me look and feel my best!

Jessica really is THE BEST!!!!!! I'm probably one of the pickiest women on the planet when it comes…read moreto my hair... I don't trust anyone and have threatened the lives of so-called "professionals" before. (dramatic doesn't even begin to cover it) However, my hair has been in Jessica's hands for more than three years now and I am happier with my lovely locks than i ever have been. The first time I saw her my hair was just past my shoulders and I was rocking lots and lots of purple color with "Bettie" bangs. I've been wearing some form of fringe most of my life and I say this with full confidence, nobody is more bangin' than this chick. Utterly perfect, every single time. From there we transitioned my hair back to a more natural color, it was just time. Jessica helped me nurse my hair back to health and find it's natural shine again, I won't ever forget my son's face when he realized what color my eyes are. Still not sure if the purple was just distracting or if the darker brown just made for better contrast. When I became pregnant with my second child Jessica helped me maintain sanity and kept me from doing anything crazy with my hair (because, ya know... pregnant women are insane). She even did a "house call" for me after the little one was born and I was in desperate need of a trim. Speaking of the little ones, it needs to be mentioned that Jessica also cuts my sons hair and is literally the ONLY person who has EVER been able to get it 100% right. You'd think kids cuts would be super easy but not with my kid. He has not one, not two... but FOUR cowlicks. FOUR. His head is literally at war with his hair. I love having someone who understands that my obsession with my hair transcends to my child's hair as well. She's just amazing. At my last appointment we went for a subtle ombre on my now waist-length hair, I have grown out the bangs and embraced my "almost natural" color. My hair is definitely healthy and happy thanks to my amazing hairapist, Jessica LaRue.

I can say proudly that I am Karen Park's first-ever and longest client. I've had the pleasure of…read morebeing her client since waaaay back in 2011, when she was still studying her craft with Aveda. I knew then what I know now: she is a rare talent. Karen has been styling my hair for over 15 years. She is my hair stylist for life, and I am thrilled she is now working with The Ministry Salon in Silver Lake, a super chill salon with a clean and polished aesthetic and absolute rockstar artists behind every chair. When you entrust your hair with KP, you're in the hands of someone who trained diligently for years under the best of the best, in the top salons in Beverly Hills and across LA. Karen isn't someone who merely gets certifications and calls it a day. She relentlessly masters technique, pushing herself every year to set new challenges and become an expert in new areas of haircare (and now skincare!) with a singular work ethic and passion. For this reason, I'm so excited she recently traveled to Korea to get certified in cutting-edge facials. She'll only work with the best machine, and the best ingredients, and I can't wait to get my first facial soon. When you work with Karen, you are also privileged to spend time amidst her grounding spirituality and positive energy, so you leave not only looking incredible on the outside, but feeling revitalized on the inside. I can't wait to see The Ministry Salon's newest location in Silver Lake grow and blossom, and can say with confidence that if you're lucky enough to start working with Karen Park, it'll be the last time you ever look for a hair stylist or facialist.

I went for a haircut after over a year since my last. My appointment was with Anthony and though I…read morewas 15 minutes late, he did not hold it against me. My very long hair went to chin-length, and I was happy with the result, which included styling, where he added some waves/texture. He acknowledged the note I attached to my appointment request and made sure to address it. It was a Sunday afternoon so just one other worker was there, and it was a calm and comfortable environment. I enjoyed my experience and would go back to him. I found out this is a newly opened location.

The entire experience was deeply uplifting, and I've already recommended Cookie to friends. If you want a thoughtful, talented stylist, I can't recommend them enough!

Every appointment she has gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, always asks all the right questions to make sure she could achieve my desired results and that we were on the same page with hair colors, and she puts a lot time and care into her work and it shows! She was always available if I had a hair emergency and needed to come in for a bead fix, and it was so easy to schedule with her for root touch ups and ongoing maintenance appointments. She's the sweetest person too and every appointment with her was like my own personal self-care day. I'm extremely grateful I found her in 2022 and so blessed for all the amazing looks she was able to create for me! She uses the best products and selected the best human hair extensions, giving me options. You won't be disappointed and you'll get the hair transformation you're looking for!

She consistently gives me the most amazing razor-cut shags that don't require the extra curling and blow-drying I've seen other stylists have to do to make it even resemble a shag. I can wake up, put some Hairstory products in, and I'm good to go. The way Rae cuts my hair gives it texture and shape, making it less bulky and complimenting my round face. She also gives me the most fantastic curtain bangs, fringe, and wings to flip out my hair. I recently took a new driver's license photo, and thanks to Rae's haircut, it was the first DMV picture I didn't massively hate. She's trained by Jayne from Edo, the Shag Queen that you've probably seen all over Instagram and TikTok, but it doesn't cost a fortune. Plus, Rae is the nicest, most down-to-earth stylist, so it's always good to see her, and the space in Highland Park is very chill. I've definitely been to IG famous hairstylists that made me feel like I was beneath them and gave me a super underwhelming cut. I'm more than happy to make the drive from South LA to Highland Park because Rae's cuts are that good and when I'm out, I always get a lot of compliments on my hair, too.

Even after four years, I still have a bad feeling about this hairdresser when she somehow comes…read moreacross my digital world. After my first and only appointment, she left me with bangs that had some strange long pieces on one side that went over and kept poking in my eye. Not only did it not look right aesthetically (others later confirmed what I was seeing), it was physically annoying. Although everything else was great as far as the cut, this was clearly an oversight that, for whatever reason, neither of us did noticed at the time of the appointment. Frankly, although Rae does not charge as much as many very expensive hair stylists, she is *not* inexpensive and this was the most that I've ever paid for a haircut. I felt that I should not have to correct anything myself plus I did not want to mess with her work at all. After contacting her about this very small matter, as I was willing to make the effort to go back to her to have this corrected, she ghosted me. Instead of being agreeable and embodying all of the positive things she purports to believe in and represent via her Instagram page, she apparently decided that I would be "a difficult client." (And apparently this is a thing with hairdressers, as I found mention of this on a hairdressing professionals site.) There was absolutely no consideration for my feelings. I am far from a difficult client. But the client should be happy, and she could've done a couple of snips and that would've been that. Instead... After receiving no reply via phone after leaving her a couple of messages, I finally had to find her on Instagram and sent her a photo of my obviously uneven bangs. Apparently now fearing that I would post something negative to her account or leave a bad review somewhere, she offered to refund the entire cost of the haircut rather than make this quick fix. I was floored. While happy to not have to end up paying my hard-earned money to someone who basically was cruel to me via her respect for only her feelings with none for me, I knew that she was paying me off. As I didn't want to spend any more time or energy on this or her, she's been successful with that until now. But she's come up again, and I can see all of these great reviews and the feelings of rejection have returned. So I must be such an asshole to deserve to be treated like one, right? No. Our session together was perfectly normal, and Rae just cannot accept that she could make such a small oversight and that a client may not be 100% happy with her work--i.e. she exists beyond reproach. She's an artist, mind you! If you can be happy with that, yes she does good work and it seems that most of the time she gets it right with clients (particularly if they have lots of Instagram followers, I suspect but cannot ascertain) or they just don't bother or feel comfortable mentioning any dissatisfaction. I just don't like people thinking they can treat others like trash because they are an artist in some high-priced field. It's a fucking haircut attached to a human being. Just be a nice person and have some grace.
