    If you are an Asian or dark haired person, do not go here! I have had bad hair experiences before but not this hefty one. $450 =$70 or a box color result. My hair stylist was very friendly and nice person but she was not experienced and competent for the status the salon is claiming to have. I went in there for " color correction balayage" on my 1 year old ashy blonde (light grey) balayage and wanted more subtle honey/ caramel balayage. Well, the after bleaching and toning and almost ready to go hair was just HORRENDOUS. It was orange and not blended at all!!! I mean I could do better myself and I'm NO hairstylist. I told her it was bad and I didn't like it. She took it very defensively and blamed my hair being to dark (it's a virgin hair and I have had no problems with it before with expensive salons). I was forced to get my hair a totally different color which I didn't want at all just to get the disaster disappear. I pretty much spend $495 at the salon and got a $50 color job and spent 5 hours.

    Updating my review because I've been coming here for over 2 years now! Juliana is an incredible hair stylist and color stylist. One of the best in Los Angeles. Johnny is also incredible! The salon is a clean, trendy environment. Everyone is super nice and cool! Cuts and dyes are reasonably priced and 100% worth it because of how amazing everything turns out!! Juliana has transformed my hair from a bright neon pink, back to my natural hair color as a pixie. Both looks were a 100/10. She's the best!

    alright guys, here's the deal. Kim is the QUEEN of balayage. seriously, she's the best. I've been putting all my hair faith in Kim for the past four years and cannot recommend her enough, not only for the gorgeous colors she mixes up but for knowing the ins and outs of my hair's weird habits and how to combat it. I've loved my hair every time Kim has worked her magic on it, plus the true crime chats while I'm in the chair are a fun bonus

    Girl where do I even begin! Before I get started, if y'all wanna get a good looking hair look like mine.. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND "Jonathan Escamilla", he gave me a whole new look that's out of this world and I am forever thankful for his time and effort! I officially made him my number one hair stylist to go to! This is how confident and beautiful he has made me feel. First off, I called to make an appointment and the customer service was very professional and friendly! I also had a Groupon for the balayage package and they were 100% honest and there were no problems towards the end (I know some salons on Groupon tend to throw in a little scam when it was never mentioned of their purchase description, but this salon had no problems whatsoever!) Once I got to the salon, it was very well cleaned and gorgeous inside out. Make sure you park behind and not in the front where the parking meter is. Especially if it's going to be more than two hours. Jonathan is such a sweet heart, he is new to the salon and just his vibe is all out fun and happy! He made me feel comfortable and happy and that's what makes a customer feel like they're at ease. I showed him a few pictures to give him an example of what I'm trying to go for but I also told him to do whatever he thinks looks best on my hair in his opinion and my gosh, the outcome was amazing! Thank you thank you once again Jonathan for my new hair! He gave me a hairstyle that gave it a 70's look and it's sexy as heck! LADIES AND GENTS, make sure you tip your stylists fairly during these hard COVID times, especially if you got a Groupon. These are dedicated hair stylists who deserve a great tip after being laid off for quite some time. Can't wait to come back for me retouch on my toner!

    All I have to say is: hit up Johnny for the best hair cut and hair color! I came in with a picture of what I wanted and he explained to me how it's going to take a few salon trips to get it that light. I told him "just make my hair look good, Johnny. That's all I want." He did exactly that! I LOVED the final results! I received a million compliments on my hair, pictures don't do justice. Also - he's one of the coolest people I've met, super down to earth and very friendly! I have found my new hair stylist! Thank you SO much, Johnny!!! Can't wait for to get my hair toned soon!

    I just moved out here from Lake Tahoe. So, from not knowing anyone out here I didn't know where to begin for a hair cut. I then ran into Amanda she was very friendly ,offered me a free hair cut ! I was hesitant.... With nothing to lose I said sure. This was the service I've been looking for. I've since returned over and over each time I am amazed. HEADBETTER IS THE PLACE TO GO!!!

    I LOVE Tianna! I have curly hair and it's hard to find someone who actually knows how to cut curly hair the right way and not just treat it like a run of the mill haircut. Tianna really took her time creating a beautiful shape that works with my natural curl pattern and will still look amazing when I have to style it myself later.

    Amazing haircut with Taylor! I came in just wanting a trim and she sold me on some long bangs which look AMAZING. Johnny the owner was as sweet as cherry pie. Out of my own absent mindedness I got a parking ticket, and he felt so bad for me he gave me a free leave in conditioner! The ambiance and vibe are both lovely. This pic is one day post cut and still looks fab. I used the groupon and, unlike a lot of local places, they honored it, didn't complain, didn't try to impose hidden fees (I'm looking at you, studio 818). 10/10 would return!

    Great experience. I got a haircut here and it turned out perfectly. I wanted more layers but to…read morekeep my length and she nailed that balance. I have thicker hair that can be annoying to dry but she did a thorough job and it looks so good. The space is clean and beautiful. The chairs (even the hair washing station!) are comfy. I'll definitely be back!

    I hate to leave reviews this long, but this experience was so unbelievable that I feel a…read moreresponsibility to share it with other people, especially when it comes to something as important as our hair. I booked a color and cut. My starting hair was a medium-dark brown with some red undertones, which is why I wanted it refreshed to a warmer, richer chocolate shade--nothing drastic, nothing near-black. In the salon, I selected the Level 4 chocolate brown swatch. I also looked at the Level 3 dark brown swatch and asked for her opinion. I told her I wanted my hair a little darker than it currently was, and she said she could mix a little of the dark brown into the chocolate brown. At no point did I choose Level 3 as the base of the formula or request anything close to a near-black result. When going into a salon and selecting a color from the book, it is the colorist's job to explain how that specific shade will read on your actual hair and to create the formula that will produce a result similar to the swatch you selected. If your hair is already dark and the swatch will pull much deeper, a professional should explain that clearly and adjust the formula. She did not do this. Instead, my hair came out significantly darker--almost black--nowhere near the chocolate brown I chose. I didn't notice how dark it truly was the night of the appointment because I was exhausted, nearly falling asleep in the chair, and it was already dark outside. The next day in natural light, I was shocked. I told my husband I was disappointed, but he said he liked it, so I tried to live with it for a few days. But it was just not what I was looking for at all. The haircut was just as bad. She cut a huge chunk in the front without angling it into the rest of the hair, and all the layers in the back were cut blunt with no blending, no texturizing, nothing. She styled it wavy with body, which masked how choppy it actually was. I was also floored by the pricing. Her website lists all-over color as $120+, and I fully expected to pay more for long hair--but not $250 for the color alone. She charged $250 for color, $75 for the haircut, and $65 for the blowout. The cut and blowout prices were reasonable, but the color price made no sense compared to what's listed online. I actually walked back inside afterward and told her I was shocked, and she adjusted the color price to $180. When I reached out looking for a solution--not a refund, just a correction--her tone over text was extremely unprofessional and dismissive. She insisted she "followed the shade I chose," even though I did not choose Level 3 and never asked for anything close to this result. She repeatedly contradicted herself by saying she followed the shade I picked, while also telling me my hair would naturally come out darker than the swatch because my hair was already dark--essentially admitting the result would never resemble the swatch I selected. I was so confused and taken aback by her refusal to collaborate that I decided to go into the salon to speak with the owner--only to find out that she is the owner. She refused to even look at the swatch next to my hair. I had to take the book myself, walk to the mirror, and compare it. When I asked her to come over and look, she said no because she wasn't going to do anything about it anyway. She even accused me of showing her a before picture that could have been from "5 years ago" which prompted me to scroll through my phone and show her that it was in fact from a few weeks ago and she still took 0 responsibility. Then she told me the only way to fix the color would be to bleach my hair for hours and that it would cost $1,000. Any trained colorist knows that is simply not true--she could have easily lifted the color and retuned it. The fact that she suggested extreme bleaching as the only option showed me she either doesn't have the proper education or simply didn't want to help. At that point, it became clear that she wasn't just unwilling to correct her own work -- she was refusing to acknowledge any responsibility at all. Between the incorrect color, the poor haircut, the inflated pricing, her dismissive tone over text, her refusal to look at the swatch, her refusal to offer any solution, and her claim that the only fix would be thousands in bleaching, I cannot recommend this salon to anyone. I now have to pay another professional to fix both the color and the cut. If you're considering booking here, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere.
