    I found my new hair stylist!! My friend had recommended her stylist to me and ended up booking a last minute appointment(I WAS SUPER LUCKY TO TAKE A CANCELED SPOT). I had a lot of orange left in my hair from my previous stylist but Karen was able to lift some off and tone it to a pretty color! I'm so so so excited to return in 3 months to go brighter :) BTW, she's also super cool and sweet. You must must must let her do some magic on your hair. Thank you so much Karen!!

    Karen is definitely worth driving to from Culver City because she is the only person I trust with my hair. I have been going to her for couple of years now and am always pleased with her work. She is very professional and I really appreciate her availability. I recommend her to anyone looking for top quality!

    Been coming to Karen for a while now and I've been SO happy, she is super reasonable on pricing and accomplished my hair goal in a timely manner, I am SO fortunate to have found her. And have already referred 3 people to her!

    First session !

    Karen is theee absolute BEST!!! I've been going to her for years and she has been able to get my hair how I wanted without damaging it! She got my asian dark hair to a grey blonde within a few sessions which other hair stylist weren't able to! I always leave her place loving my hair so much and get so many compliments! Go to Karen you won't regret I left her once and it messed up my hair and instantly went back to her! (She yelled at me but I deserved it lol jk )

    Karen has been my girl when it comes to my hair since 2016. She's extremely knowledgeable and will always tell it to you straight when it comes to your hair goals and what you can and can't do in order to save the health and integrity of your hair. I've let other stylists do my hair when I was feeling impatient and let me tell you, those times were a MISTAKE. I trust Karen with my life at this point and have recommended many friends and family to see her and every single person has loved her as much as I do! We all know during this pandemic everyone's tempted to cut/dye their own hair and it will happen. Just know if you need someone to help fix your quarantine mistakes, Karen is the person to do that.

    Well, let me start by saying Thank you Karen. I love my hair. I've been wanting this color forever and I finally found my person. She knew exactly what I wanted when she saw my hair. I am so happy I found you. I have received so many compliments can't wait to see you again for retouch. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a new change/look like I was.

    I was referred to Karen by my cousins and aunts and I am very glad I listened to them. I have had over 5+ sessions with her and have never been disappointed. She is very knowledgeable and I trust her recommendations completely with color and cuts. I have been all shades of brunette and bronde as shown in my pictures. She always manages to fit me in to her schedule last minute or modify my time since I tend to schedule 3 weeks in advance. Overall, I am very pleased and would not let anyone else color my hair!

    I've been coming to Karen for 5+ years and she never disappoints! She is the only stylist I let touch my hair. She is very kind and attentive and always makes sure you're happy and comfortable. I highly recommend Karen for any of your hair needs, from a balayage, cut, or quick toner, you won't be disappointed. She works very fast and won't have you sitting in a chair all day either! Check her out, she has a great referral program too!

    Karen is the best!!! She always do a good job on my hair. She knows her stuff so well. I wanted to do blonde on my hair dark hair and she did it just perfectly. I highly recommend her. Love you Karen

    Rochelle B.

    Karen is the best! I always get compliments after my appointments I trust her because she is so knowledgeable when it comes to color treatments. And I also appreciate how well she communicates with me and tries to accommodate me when making appointments. She has been taking care of my hair for the past 3 years and I couldn't be happier!

    After years of not coloring my hair, I finally pulled the trigger and decided to try balayage for the first time.

    Hanh is the best!…read more Made an appointment after learning that she's specialized in butterfly haircuts and wow she did not disappoint. She was very thorough during the consultation to make sure I understand what she is about to do and that I also get what I came in for. My original hair was highlighted (super bleached/ashy) and had a bad layered cut (turns out I had a mullet I wasn't aware of lol). I wanted to return to my natural color and also get a cut to even out my layers. Within two hours, Hanh achieved the color and cut seamlessly through proper and detailed steps to repair my damaged hair. My experience with her was fantastic. She is so bubbly and fun to talk to and she is an expert in her field. I have never learned so much about hair ever in my life! Even for styling, she gave so many tips. Hanh, you should consider teaching if you ever plan to! Overall, I am a happy customer that left with beautiful voluminous hair. Will be back for a maintenance cut and a fun girly chat!

I'll admit, I was pretty nervous going in since I hadn't had a haircut in years. My hair is straight, flat, and typically hard to style, and I was hoping to add some volume and soft curls but wasn't sure what would actually work. Hanh immediately put me at ease with her warm, funny, and welcoming personality. She's genuinely so kind. During the consultation, she really took the time to understand what I wanted and helped refine my ideas into something even better. I walked away feeling confident and excited instead of anxious. I showed her a few inspiration photos, and she didn't just match them--she completely exceeded them. She absolutely nailed the look, even better than I imagined. I rarely write reviews, but this experience truly deserved one. I'll definitely be coming back to her again!

    Honest Review of My Experience With Diana Salcido (Color Appointment + Communication + Deposit…read morePolicy) I'm really disappointed with my experience with Diana, and I feel it's important to share so others know what to expect. I originally came to her for color and highlights. The first appointment was over $500, and while the dimension looked nice when I left, the color faded extremely quickly within just a few washes. I reached out politely to let her know, and she offered to gloss it , which I understood as simply refreshing the tone. Instead, my entire head was turned into a single dark chocolate color. All of my highlights were completely covered, my hair became several shades darker than what I originally paid for, and the dimension I loved was gone. None of this was discussed with me during the service. She didn't even fully dry my hair before I left, so I couldn't see the true result until I got home. My hair was already dry from the first appointment, and this additional processing made things worse. When I reached out to express confusion and concern, she did not take responsibility or apologize. Her responses were dismissive, and at one point she simply replied "Ok," which made it clear she didn't care about the impact the service had on my hair or how I felt as a client. It was deeply unprofessional and left me feeling unheard. Throughout all of this, I remained kind, calm, and respectful. I work in the beauty industry myself, and I believe strongly in treating clients the way I would want to be treated , with care, honesty, and accountability. When a mistake is made, it's our job to take responsibility and make it right, unless a client is being truly abusive. That wasn't the case here at all, which is why her coldness and lack of remorse were so confusing and disappointing. Weeks later, my hair is still not the same color or look I originally paid for. I had a future appointment booked, which I canceled with plenty of notice, and politely asked for my deposit back. Only then did she inform me that deposits are nonrefundable , something that was never communicated at booking. She insisted the policy had been stated, but it absolutely was not. Keeping a client's money when they cancel days in advance, especially after a service that went wrong, is not ethically or professionally acceptable. Overall, my experience with Diana showed: Lack of communication during the service No accountability when the result was not what I asked for Dismissive responses when I expressed concern No empathy or care for the health of my hair Uncommunicated policy used to keep a deposit after poor service A cold, unprofessional attitude toward a client who was nothing but kind I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was stressful, expensive, and handled with very little professionalism or integrity. I would not return and cannot recommend her based on how she treated me throughout this entire situation.

    Veronica is an incredible hairstylist and colorist! Her expertise and talent are truly unmatched…read more I've been coming to her for many years, and somehow, she continues to amaze me every single time. I originally started seeing her for her beautiful balayage and blonde highlights, but after so many years of being blonde, I finally decided I was ready to go darker. Veronica didn't simply make my hair darker--she created a customized dimensional brunette blend with gorgeous dark highlights that completely exceeded my expectations. I was honestly in awe of the final result! I feel like a whole new person and absolutely LOVE my hair. I'm always so grateful not only for Veronica's beautiful personality and the way she makes you feel in her chair, but for the incredible gift she has as a hairstylist and colorist. After all these years, I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair.

    COMPLETE DISAPPOINTMENT! I had an appointment with Veronica to add extensions and match them to my…read morecurrent hair color. I explained to her how I don't like my hair being dark and thought the extensions didn't look like the right color and she ensured me they were right and they will blend in and it'll look great to trust her. Being at a very nice salon I pay $925.00 assumed she knew what she was doing and would make it work the way I asked for. During the appointment she continuously kept me in directions I couldn't see the progress of my hair. In the end she added the extension and completely darkened my hair into a dark brown with a red look to it while also covering up my highlights I had just recently done. I truly hate what she did to my hair and hope no one else has to experience this. On top of all that she seems to have booked another appointment too soon and sat them down and rushed me through to get to her next customer she failed to blend and style my hair leaving my bangs looking like Dora the explorer and leaving the lengths of my hair uneven looking like a child had cut it. I had to go to someone else to get it styled properly so it looks presentable. Attempted to get some sort of refund only for her and the owner of her shop to verbally gang up on me being rude and telling me I got exactly what I asked for when I know I never asked for this color or my highlights to be covered up. I normally go to my stylist at Supercuts but they are not able to do extensions so I came to Veronica hoping to feel beautiful after a morning at the salon. PLEASE REFUND MY MONEY or I'll have to report this to the state board of cosmetology.
