Ceremony hair style

Penelope was so amazing to work with! I loved her vibe and she made the whole experience so fun! She did an amazing job on my hair, my mother's hair, my mother in laws hair, and sister in law. I would hands down choose Penelope to be on my team if I could do it all over again. She is an up-do pro. She is fun, playful, and totally understood the boho style I was going for (see photos). My hair stayed all night for both the ceremony and the party (two different days). My MUA also loved working with Penelope! She had no issue with the extensions I bought and did a wonderful job.

If you need your bridal hair needs fulfilled, look no further! PennyLu will exceed your bridal hair expectations for you as she did for me! My hair is difficult To manage for most hair stylists, and when I did my trial with her she made my hair look perfect ! So I knew that I needed her for my special day AND for my engagement photoshoot. Not only is she extremely good at what she does, she is a total sweetheart--very kind and easy going. If I could give her a 10 star I would!

Beginning of night. Mom had flowy curls

This review is long overdue, I am the worst at coming in and typing up something. BUT there are three reviews that I promised myself I would do and this is one of them. Penny came to my home on time. Provided a hair up do for myself, a wavy free flowing look for my mother and a straight hair look for my daughter. I was worried as it was three hairstyles, but she is a pro. Prepped my hair, then started my moms. Usually I go into a salon to get my hair done because I am fearful they will be missing a tool if they come to me but Penny had her huge almost luggage looking piece with everything you need for hair. I forgot to take a picture of the back of my hair when it was done but here is one at the end of the night. It lasted hours and hours of dancing :) I am so happy with her work we will definitely be hiring her again.

Working with Penelope was so fun! She did my hair and 5 of my bridesmaids and we all loved it! My updo was perfect and lasted the entire night - I couldn't have asked for anything better! I loved my hair after my trial, but we made a few tweaks on my wedding day and I loved it even more! We had our hair done in the Sweet Dreams studio at the Crowne Plaza and I was amazed at how quickly Penelope was able to do everyone's hair, without sacrificing quality. We had such a fun time hanging out with Penelope and Patricia (MUA) on our wedding morning. If you're looking for a hair stylist for your wedding, book Penelope! You won't regret it!

Penelope did my hair for my engagement pictures & the day of my wedding. She did a beautiful job with my hair and nailed the exact simple look that I was looking for. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. She is awesome!

I was referred by my friend, makeup artist Nikki La Rose. Penny is great! Very responsive and professional. She really knows bridal hair. We explored different options during my bridal hair trial and even though on my wedding day I ended up choosing a completely different style that we did not practice at my trial, she nailed it! I was very pleased with her work. Thanks Penny!

I'm so happy I found Penelope! I knew I wanted to book her for my wedding as soon as we started doing the trial. Penny is so kind and patient. She did an amazing job on my hair and bridesmaids' hair. My hair lasted all day and night and through a little bit of rain :) I truly recommend her!

Penny did such an amazing job with my wedding day hair, and all of my family friends that joined in. She was able to capture the beauty and romance of our vineyard wedding. I showed her a picture of an amazing up do and not only did she nail it, she made it even better than I could have imagined. I cannot say enough good things about her!! She's amazing!!

I was referred by makeup artist Patricia Castro. I went to visit their studio in Redondo Beach for my trial, which happened to be the day of my bridal shower. I showed Penny 2 pictures of what I wanted and she combined the pictures and created exactly what I wanted! I received so many compliments at the shower and my hair stayed all day! My maid of honor also got her hair done that day, and it came out great! Penny also did my hair for my wedding day and it came out just as great as the day of the shower (even though it was a different style). She also did all of my bridesmaids, Mom, and mother in law's hair for the wedding, and everyone loved how their hair came out! I definitely recommend Penelope! And will definitely use her again!

Sorry I don't think my last review was posted. Pennylu was an awesome hairstylist! Very welcoming and nice! Would recommend! She's welcoming and talkative. The studio was very very nice and my hair smelled very good afterwards. Although the style didn't hold up as long as I wanted to, everything else was fabulous! Thank uu!

Penny is a very talented hairdresser. My updo was one of the best I ever had. She is very professional and the location is very comfortable.

Service is always great!!! My hairstylist Betty, even better! She's so amazing and very welcoming…read moreShe is always recommended to friends and family who ask about my hairstylist. 10/10 for sure.

I've been coming here for several months, had high hopes, unfortunately the salon and in my case,…read moreone of the colorists lacks the key element, customer satisfaction, process repeatability and accountability. Moreover, maturity level has a lot to do with it. Location: Salon is located near the Bay Club, the location is beautiful and plenty to do afterwards, but not worth it when you leave the salon with results that you clearly advised you did not want to see. Parking: Metered parking, somewhat tight due to gym; however, the salon does provide you a pass. Front desk person: Woman that answers the phone provides the recommendation on who to see based on the description that you give her; altough I'm not sure she is the right person so make those determinations. Color: Failed results at all times, kept saying that it's a process, yet she never invested in achieving the color as we discussed. I felt low and disregarded every single time I left the salon. I paid over $1000 to not obtain the results in each session. When I shared my concerns with her and advised that the incorrect color was used, she became distant, ghosted me on text and was not honest about when she was in the office. I called the salon and the woman at the front told me she was there. I feel cheated and hurt. There is no salon manager, no one that cares or that you can speak to about your concerns. Payments are done directly to the stylist.

I texted Edgar a wish pic and it looks nothing like it. I do not recommend him. He offered his next cut free and I won't go back

Nori is one of the finest stylists you can frequent…read more He has a meticulous attention to details and I super appreciate his precision cuts. He services his scissors in Japan semi-annually just to maintain his equipments in great condition. This helps prevent split ends and other hair troubles I used to frequently encounter. Nori also uses a scale to formulate the hair colors. You can feel assured you won't come out of the salon looking funky. Appointments can be made online directly from his website, or by emailing/texting him directly. He is very flexible and accommodating with appointments. Lastly, parking can be found adjacent from the salon building structure. You can also charge your EV for free too. Amex accepted and drinks and clean environment offered. Can't recommend Nori enough.

I went in to get a perm and cut…read more The vibe was very nice. Very respectful. His space was very clean and tidy with what seems, state of the art tools. I have had fine hair all my life, but even still my hair has always taken well to perms, always. Even the last one over a year ago. The only complaint I had was the use of larger rods which made my hair more wavy curl than curly. Nori had said that my hair wouldn't take well to a perm, but because I know my hair's history, I asked him do it anyway and he agreed to do it. First he used a more gentle solution because of my pervious perm over a year ago (did not ask if I wanted that), and I didn't know until he was already in the process of using it on my hair... my hair needs the stronger solution. Second he did a loose curl wrap instead of a tight curl wrap. With fine hair (or at least my hair) it needs to be curled up against the scalp. I think he did this because it was a hot treatment perm (which I never had before) vs a cold treatment perm. He didn't give an option. So the perm came out ok on the bottom because it already had the previous perm that was there from a year ago. But the top part of my hair had virtually no difference. If you have fine hair and looking to get a perm, I would not recommend Nori. I'm sure he does really well with all other hair services. To his credit, the perm itself, aside from the lack of curl, was a healthy perm (did not harm my hair) and he did give a very nice cut prior to the perm process. I think if he would have explained his treatment process and how it differed from what I had previously experienced, that may have helped my decision to go elsewhere, before wasting over $200 I had taken a year 1/2 to save. Again I think he probably does really well with the other services he provides. I just think for women (or men) with fine hair, you may want to think twice if you're looking to get a perm.

This was my first ever hair color and it was a very big transformation since I basically wanted to…read morego blonde from natural thick black hair. I'm so so glad I went to Nikki to get it done! Thank you Nikki and Joe for working on me for 5-6 hours to get this done. Honestly, I almost feel bad because Nikki would explain to me the process in detail and I would be clueless and just nodding my head since this was my first time and I got no clue about being blonde along with the technical terms included in the process of doing it. She knew this and changed her way of explaining so that I could understand it better. Haha. Things I learned was 1 close my eyes when they're rinsing off the bleach, 2 also close my eyes when I'm on the dryer with the bleach and 3 take all the stretch breaks that's offered. There's always a first time for everyone. The results were amazing!! I was nervous, scared and excited because it was a big change but also I didn't know if the color was gonna match me. She assured me that it would look great and it takes a lot to say something like that because that just meant that she knew what she was doing and it was true. Experience was great! She also fixed my chunky haircut and made it more streamlined which ultimately shaped it up to look amazing. We also did a trial run of curls to see how long it would hold if I decided to get it done a day before my nurse graduation this month. Not to mention they're so eager to help out with your progress shots too. Thank you so much!! Will definitely be back in the future. :)
