    Simple trim with bettie bangs done by Matt

    I had just lost my previous hair stylist and funny enough Matt worked with her. So, I reached out and was able to get an appointment. I was so happy! Matt has an excellent vibe. I love his music, stories, outfits, and he never made me feel uncomfortable for my disability. He was always accommodating. This was the last cut Matt did for me. I wanted bettie bangs and just a simple trim. I wish I could've come back to work on a green split dye like I was planning. Matt is the best you can go to, trust me.

    I came in with box dyed black hair, looking to change it to what Mat called "vampire red". He didn't turn me away and said it was possible! I was honestly super nervous because this was only my second time getting my hair professionally dyed. It turned way better than I expected! If you're looking to change up your hair style, I'd definitely recommend seeing Mat!

    My hair "transformation" experience with Mat, aka Hair Crusher, was easily the best one I've ever had. Throughout the pandemic, I had my hair bleached 3x at home, box-dyed it nearly jet black, and then did bleaching & toning once again at salon (mediocre experience but we don't talk about her). The damage done to my hair in about one year's time was evident and it took an immense toll on my self-esteem. This summer, I decided to treat myself and had my hopes on achieving a beige blonde color. I reached out to multiple local hairdressers and did a few consultations but as others before me have mentioned, no one was nearly as receptive and understanding as Mat was. He listened to all of my concerns and addressed each one -- the proof is in the pudding! -- and made every second of the multiple-hour experience truly enjoyable. He was never condescending or annoying, unlike other hairstylists I've met/worked with. He constantly works to make sure you are comfortable AND happy with your hair. Also, he is incredibly detailed and perceptive. We had a half-hour consultation and he immediately had his game plan down and a quote for me (his rates are reasonable and trust me, I've done my homework). He followed through with my hopes and went above and beyond to exceed my expectations. I left his salon incredibly happy and ready to resume life, post-COVID. If you're going through hair salon reviews on Yelp like I was one week ago, stop searching and book a consultation with Mat ASAP -- 11/10 recommend!

    Was nervous about getting my hair done bc i've only ever had it done by one person my whole life but the moment i met Mat he made me feel comfortable and i knew i was in good hands. I now have been getting my hair done by him for a year and every time i love the way my looks !!

    I was looking for someone who could cut my bangs only I've been to scared to get them done but finally committed after finding Matthew on yelp. He did a fantastic job with something so simple that can easily change your entire face I great appreciate him firing me into his schedule and I'll definitely be back

    Cut by Mat. Color from home.

    Mat is amazing. I've had issues with my haircut for years and in one session he was able to figure out one of my biggest concerns. Do not hesitate in giving him a call. You won't regret it.

    He CRUSHED it!!! They don't call him HAIR CRUSHER for nothin'! Trying to find someone who knows exactly what I want when it comes to hair. Everything from the sick decor..omg SKELETOR on the wall ok I'm dead! No really the whole vibe was bangin! My color was on point and I can't wait to see what he's gonna come up with next. So happy I went with my gut on this one! Since pre-COVID I lost my usual hairstylist..I've been to many salons but none of them comes close to the service I got today! oh and the fact that we both like anime and LINKIN PARK is a plus! If you're reading this review show him some love because he deserves to be recognized for his amazing work!

    most recent cut with color touch up!

    If you are an Asian person who likes having amazing hair you need to go see Hair Crusher right now. He has expertise with many hair textures, but specifically has never taken any shortcuts or compromised the health of my hair. Even so, he has still managed to achieve every hair style I have ever requested from him. He makes everyone feel welcomed and safe to share their thoughts, hair goals, or feedback without judgement. Hair Crusher epitomizes what it means to be a hair colorist, artist, and specialist. Your appointment will be cost effective, fun, and endlessly rewarding, as he masterfully establishes a healthier base every time he does your hair. Cannot recommend his services enough!

    I just want to start this review by stating that Liya at TT Salon is a stylist with integrity and…read moreshe is not afraid to be honest with her clients. I would go back to her without hesitation because of this alone. I booked an appointment for a digital perm with Liya well over a month ago. I have stick straight hair that has zero volume and the videos and pictures I was seeing of Liya's beautiful work was so exciting! My day arrived and I was super excited. Side note, I am currently dealing with some heavy personal things at home, so having this to look forward to was a breath of fresh air. This will come into play in this review in a moment. I arrived for my appointment, Liya looked at my hair and did tell me my hair was very fine and that I had some damage at the ends. I knew these things, so it wasn't a shock. She did a cut to remove those damaged ends and then her assistant took me to wash my hair. During that wash the assistant asked me some questions about my hair because she was seeing some damage that was concerning to her. She finished the wash and took me back to the chair. Liya came back, she spoke with the assistant, and then Liya showed me the parts of my hair that the assistant was concerned about. She was very kind and apologetic, but told me that she would not feel comfortable giving me the perm with the damage they were seeing. It was more apparent now while my hair was wet. She didn't see it as much when she did the dry cut. Of course I was disappointed, but I was not upset with Liya for making this call. As a matter of fact, I was very appreciative that she was willing to be honest with me and not just take my money. Here's where my personal issues came into play. My level of disappointment combined with stress and sadness I was already feeling caused me to cry. I was trying to hold it in, but I kind of failed. Liya again apologized, I tried to explain that I was okay and I wasn't upset with her or blaming her. I told her I was grateful for her honesty. This is why I write this review. I hope that Liya reads it or at least gets the message. While I am very sad to have not been able to experience her beautiful work on my own hair, I am so thankful that she is a person of respect, integrity, and honesty. She did not charge me for the cut and the wash either. If you are looking to visit Liya at TT Salon, I highly recommend her! She is not just out there taking people's money because of a popular trend. I am hopeful that one day I can go back and get that perm, Liya! I'm going to work on some hair repair and we'll see what happens! Thank you for your kindness yesterday. I am sorry if I made you feel like I was upset with you in any way. I certainly was not!

You can choose the service, hairstylist, and see their earliest available appointments. I decided to just go with any available stylist and was booked with Tony. I was hoping for the best, and he gave me exactly the waves I was looking for. The process was about 5 hours, but honestly, I love waking up with effortless beach waves every day, so it was worth it! Several people helped with washing and styling throughout the appointment, and everyone was so kind and welcoming. They even offer snacks and water during the service, which I thought was such a nice touch. The owner, who is also a stylist, was really nice as well. Plus, there's a huge free parking lot, which made the whole experience even more convenient. I'll definitely be recommending TT Hair Salon to all my friends, and to you reading this

I opted for a blunt cut with face framing layers, and she D E L I V E R E D!!! She trimmed the perfect amount and did not leave it short at all. It was the perfect refresh! And, her scalp scrub was 10 out of 10! I've gotten wash & blowouts at other salons, and my scalp will still feel dirty. But, not with Carolina! My scalp felt super clean and she hit some pressure points. The blowout was super pretty. I also talked to her about some minor greys I have and asked about her root touch ups since I was doing them previously. She was so honest and said she didn't recommend it. Instead, she recommended a hair product for cover up from the Style Edit (which she is not sponsored by, does not have a partnership with, & does not sell at her salon. I purchased through Amazon without her giving me a direct link) I've been using that and I'm obsessed! I got to save my coin and I appreciated her honesty. I also asked about glosses (which she happily does) and she recommended continuing my in-shower glossing at home to keep my hair healthy. Carolina's integrity shines. I will keep coming & report back.

Which is why I reached out again when I wanted to do something fun with my hair for my 40th birthday. Since this is in an outdoor shopping center, there is free parking right in front. Although I no longer live in LA, I spoke with Kristie and she was just so over the top helpful in fitting me in into Ken's busy schedule. She was already in Taiwan for additional hair training and would respond to me, going back and forth between me and Ken. And mind you, this is before Lunar New Year, when most people would get their haircut! My day started right at opening time (10am) with a haircut. I gave him an idea of what I wanted and he just went with it. I will say this honestly: I've never liked my haircut this much. Why did it take me 40 years??? Anyway, we then had my hair washed and started with the first round of bleach around 11am, and then touch up. By 1pm, I decided to eat my lunch. I came prepared this time! Quick story: 9 years ago, I had no idea this type of hair procedure would take all day, and therefore did not bring lunch. Ken and Kristie fed me lunch! They are the best people, I swear. Anyway, after a rinse, we did another round of bleach with touch ups. I made it more difficult for Ken because I had dyed my hair a darker shade to cover my greys. I'm so sorry Ken! By 4pm it was no COLORING TIME! Ken started with the purple roots, then added the silver to the rest, with rounds of touching up. 5:30pm is when we did our last round of wash, then blow dry and a bit of styling. After a quick photo session, I was out by 6pm! I really appreciate them both for making this work, especially when I took up an entire day. Ken and Kristie are the best, and I will travel back to LA the next time I'd like my hair done again. Thank you SO much again Ken and Kristie!

I felt overwhelmed and stressed and knew I needed a haircut to feel even a little more confident going into it.

After a long day of work, he still welcomed me with kindness, patience, and warmth and took incredible care of me without ever making me feel rushed or like an inconvenience.

    I booked with Vanessa and loved her work! I had gotten highlights months ago at another salon, and…read moremy hair was still pretty damaged and constantly getting tangled. Vanessa did an amazing job treating my hair. It looks and feels so much healthier! My first appointment here was for a haircut and loved the after!!! My hair felt so much healthier and easier to manage. It truly felt like she treated my hair & helped it repair. She also includes a brief scalp massage, which made the experience feel super relaxing. My next appointment with Vanessa was for a "Custom Revamp" to touchup to my face frame/money piece & overall hair growth. I received so many compliments on my hair after. I think it's great this salon offers a hair & scalp treatment, too. The space itself is also super relaxing, lowkey, and intimate. It's near a coffee shop which is nice and has parking!

    Susan did an amazing job with my hair! She really listened…read moreto what I wanted and understood the assignment. Everything is working together the cut, color placement and softness for my face. My hair looks elevated without trying too hard. She took her time making sure everything was exactly right before I left. The color looks soft, natural, and beautifully blended, and the cut has so much movement and shape. I never felt rushed, and she checked in throughout the appointment to make sure I was happy with everything. I'm super happy with the results and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend Susan!
