I'm so happy I found Hola Bonita! I was long overdue for a haircut, and my hair had grown to be super long and frizzy with many split ends. I'm quite picky with hair salons since a bad haircut can really affect my confidence, but I felt reassured by this studio's solid reviews. The salon has a small parking lot in the back, and there is also street parking available. Just be sure to read all the street signs in the residential areas! I was feeling a bit flustered when I arrived due to running late, but Marisol's warm and friendly demeanor instantly put me at ease. She took the time to really listen to what look I wanted, and she patiently answered my many questions about hair maintenance and gave me her personal product recommendations. Once Marisol began working on my hair, it was instantly obvious that she boasts both experience and expertise in her craft. She worked both thoroughly and efficiently, and she made sure to check in with me periodically to see how I was doing. I'd mentioned that I was getting my hair cut and styled for my birthday celebration, and she helped me style my hair into a gorgeous, silky blowout. I forgot to take before/after photos at the salon, but I received SO many compliments on my hair at my birthday party! The photo I attached was taken a few days after my appointment, and you can still see how shiny and bouncy my hair still was on day 3. My hair feels so much healthier, and the length and layers feel wonderfully lighter for the hot summer months. I would recommend Marisol and Hola Bonita to anyone looking for a professional and positive salon experience, and I definitely plan on returning. Thank you for a wonderful experience! read more

Hola Bonita Studio - Haircut and blowout by Marisol - still looking great on day 3! - Hair Salons Near Me - Culver City, California

Marisol is the BEST! I have baby fine hair that grabs color. I have literally been to 20 plus salons over the years, referred by friends, found on Yelp.... High end expensive salons, budget friendly salons, hairstylists that work from home ----the list goes on. I always walk out with black hair, no matter how I explain I want light brown with dimension. I found myself yet again on Yelp, and read the great reviews about Marisol. My first visit to Marisol, we achieved the exact color I envisioned. My next visit we touched up my roots and added highlights that brought out dimension. Marisol is patient, kind and truly listened to me when I explained the hair color and cut I wanted. The results were exactly what I hoped for! I am so happy I found Marisol, and I highly recommend her!!! read more

We have used Marisol exclusively since a chance walk in encounter about five years ago when my then 11 year old was cutting off a whopping 12 inch's of hair to donate. She wanted to get a short hair cut and highlights- after she couldn't stop looking in the mirror and said she should start wearing contact lenses because she felt so amazing with her new hair! (This coming from a girl who would wear baggy pants and xxxl shirts). Fast forward to a new location- Marisol has been doing my younger daughter's fantasy color blue hair and updated the older's cut and highlights. She is an absolute master technician with color (she did a mix of cobalt blue and a richer darker blue for the younger girl's hair which makes it look glossy and thicker than it is) and did gorgeous highlights for the older. Not only is she a master color and cut technician but also a great advisor who listens to what you want and provides feedback on how to get there- also discussing how to minimize hair trauma and recommends how to preserve and take care of the color. Love the new location! read more

I've been going to Marisol for several years now, both for myself and my daughter, and I can confidently say she is one of the most trustworthy and consistent professionals I've worked with. She is always on time, incredibly professional, and genuinely kind. What I appreciate most is her precision. She listens carefully and gets it right every time. I never have to worry about her cutting too much or too little, which is rare. Her blowouts are exceptional and she uses high-quality products that you can actually feel in your hair afterward. There is a noticeable difference. What really sets her apart is her honesty. At one point, I asked about coloring my hair for a few grays, and instead of upselling me, she recommended a more cost-effective option to try at home first. That level of integrity is hard to find. On top of everything, parking is easy and the entire experience is seamless. If you are looking for someone skilled, honest, and consistent, Marisol is the one. read more

Marisol is the sweetest!! She was so professional and took the time to educate me on the balayage process and what to expect. Her experience truly shows, and she genuinely cares about keeping your hair healthy while still achieving your hair goals. She was transparent, ethical, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire appointment. I have 3B curls, and she made sure to take extra care during the bleaching process to protect my curl pattern and hair health. I seriously can't recommend this little angel enough, my hair is an absolute dreaaaammm! read more

Had my second appt with Sandra to go lighter with the highlights she did last time. She prioritizes hair health over aesthetics and that is important to me too, so I wasn't sure if my hair was strong enough to withstand going too light right away (I had dark dark brown/black hair). I also had Hair Botox from another salon (Groupon) so had to be specific with the shampoo/conditioners I used so she let me bring mine. Sandra is kind, easy to talk to, listens and addresses my concerns. Note in the pictures the bottom of my hair looks a tiny bit dry but that's because the other salon I went to applied all the Hair Botox at the top of my head and barely at the ends so that's why the top of my head looks flatter and straighter, just poor application from another stylist, not Sandra's doing. I learned with Hair Botox my hair dents more easily so Sandra took extra time to fix dents that framed my face and she just knew exactly how to style it better. Sandra really takes her time with my hair, she is gentle with brushing and handling my hair. I went on a Saturday, a few other clients were there, their other male stylists are talented too. Place is roomy with a relaxing patio with a view of a tree-lined neighborhood. read more

Just got my second haircut and color with Marisol today - excellent experience both times. Marisol really listened to what I wanted and made great recommendations based on my hair and lifestyle. I had been looking for a hairstylist to go to regularly and I think I found her! Added bonus is the great atmosphere at this beautiful salon. It's light filled, airy, relaxed, and very private, even though it is very conveniently located. The upstairs location gives it a very tranquil vibe. All of the people working there are warm, calm, and welcoming. An overall very pleasant and positive experience. read more

I had such a great experience with Xavier! I came to him with a bit of a brassy balayage that needed to be blended and toned. Xavier immediately understood what I was going for and recommended the perfect gloss that evened everything out without getting rid of the dimension i liked. I also left with a nice cut and bouncy blowout. Xavier is warm, calm, efficient, and very skilled. The salon has a nice vibe. It's the perfect blend of chill and professional. Highly recommend! read more

I love coming here for my haircuts!! Katherine always does an amazing job. I leave feeling like a brand new person every time. She takes the time to wash my hair, listens carefully to what I want, never cuts more than I ask for, and finishes with a shiny blowout. She's super friendly, easy to talk to, and provides excellent customer service. I'm also really grateful that they offer free haircuts for DACA recipients on Wednesdays. Being a DACA recipient can be expensive -- it's essentially a two-year membership fee just to stay in the U.S. This program is such a thoughtful and supportive service for the immigrant community, and I truly hope more DACA recipients take advantage of it. read more

Xavier at Hola Bonita is a sensational hair stylist. His cutting techniques were off something I've never seen nor have experienced before. He was very GENTLE from start to finish. A head massage and mask treatment was included in the wash, which was another first for me. I wanted to keep my length, but was afraid that too much would have to be cut off because of how damaged my hair was. We communicated throughout the cut. We kept most of the length. He added subtle layers to ensure a clean and healthy look. The blowout and style was breathtaking!! This was by far the best cut and style I've ever had. I loved it so much, I sent both of my daughters to him. Thank you Xavier and Hola Bonita. I'll see you in 12 weeks. read more

I don't get haircuts often and it's usually hard to find a good salon that's nearby so when I found Hola Bonita online I was stoked. At first I had a little trouble figuring out how to book but once I got past that I got a text from a number asking for what I wanted. Once they figured out what I wanted I got booked with a very nice person named Xavier. He was super friendly and I knew I was in good hands upon arrival. The studio is located upstairs with lots of windows so the whole place had a chill vibe even on a busy street. Xavier really did a great job on my hair and I couldn't have been happier with how it came out. I appreciate the cut and the conversations, thanks again Xavier and Hola Bonita studio! Will definitely be back for my next cut read more

Marisol is a professional with many years of experience in color and cut. I got layers today and dyed my hair a stunning chocolate brown that Marisol mixed up for me and she just mastered it to perfection. I am very satisfied with the outcome and the haircut is beautiful. I made a last minute appointment and she was able to take me in and get me in and out in about 2 hours for a hair cut and full dye for long hair. I absolutely love her positive attitude and will be returning back. The salon is super clean and vibey as well. read more

Xavier is the best!! Very detailed and made sure my coloring is to my liking. Totally recomend Xavier !!!

This was one of the best experiences I've had. Marisol did a phenomenal job at color correcting my hair. I originally wanted to get a bleach a tone but she was honest with me and told me it was not possible due to my hairs health. She was incredibly nice and my hair has never been more silky and beautiful! read more

Hairdresser Perez did a wonderful job. I am very hard to please and she did a fantastic job. She even followed up with a phone call to see how I was doing. She made me feel very comfortable immediately as I began to spew my life as though I were in the chair of a psychiatrist. Definitely recommend this hair stylist and will definitely return myself. read more

Went to Hola Bonita studio in Culver City last weekend before Coachella for my girlfriend's hair color appointment and we were both blown away by the experience. The space has a really nice modern vibe with a welcoming and professional atmosphere. The team is young friendly and super talented from the stylist to the barbers working out of private studios The customer service was top-notch from the moment we walked in my girlfriend loved how her hair turned out exactly what she envisioned for the festival. Definitely recommend a spot for anyone looking for a fresh color or a cut in a professional environment. read more

I am visiting Los Angeles for an extended period of time and was in need of a haircut. Marisol's reviews at Hola Bonita Studio convinced me that she was the best stylist for my needs and reasonably priced. Marisol DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! I have short, fine hair and she listened carefully to the cut that works best for my hair and did a spectacular job! She was so welcoming and delightful to talk to and the salon was immaculate. I highly recommend Marisol and Hola Bonita Studio without any reservation! read more

Just moved to Culver City and was on the hunt for a salon that felt both professional and welcoming. After doing some research online and scrolling through a few portfolios, I came across Kathy (@ktheryne_ on Instagram) and something about her work instantly stood out. Her color blends, her attention to detail, and the fact that she really understands hair. I booked an appointment for highlights and a haircut on my medium to long curly hair, and honestly. I'm still obsessed with how it turned out. From the moment I sat in her chair, Kathy was thoughtful and honest. I came in with a general idea of what I wanted but really appreciated that she took the time to give her opinion and walk me through what would actually suit my face shape, curl pattern, and maintenance level. You can tell she cares about her craft and isn't just going to say yes to anything, she wants you to leave looking your best. The results? Gorgeous, sun-kissed highlights that add so much dimension to my curls without drying them out, and a shape that made my whole hair routine easier. My curls have bounce, the color looks natural but elevated, and the whole experience was smooth start to finish. The salon itself is stylish, clean, and thoughtfully decorated. There's even a patio area where I was able to set up my laptop and get some work done while my color processed. It's peaceful and feels more like a creative studio than a typical crowded salon. read more

Several years ago I asked a colleague at work about who cut her hair (which looked fabulous). She referred me to Sandra and I have been seeing her ever since. My hair has gone through some changes over the years and Sandra has kept it looking great throughout. She is also a very sweet and kind person. I really can't recommend Sandra highly enough. read more

I came to Marisol several years ago to fix a terrible haircut I had gotten somewhere else. She was so reassuring and talked me through how she could fix it and made it look amazing. I've been going to her ever since! She is so knowledgeable and explains what will and won't work for your hair and why. The new salon space is also beautiful! I can't recommend Marisol enough!!!! read more

Marisol has been my hair stylist for many years, and I'm always very happy with my highlights. It took me several years to find someone so meticulous and detail-oriented. She always knows exactly what I want in terms of color and hair cut. I got my highlights done last weekend and she added many baby highlights to give my hair a beautiful natural look. I love it and feel ready for the holidays! read more

I went in with Xavier to get my hair bleached and dyed silver. Service was amazing, I was there for roughly three hours, his conversation and service skills are so amazing I felt like I was there for such a shorter time. I highly recommend him if you want to do any color in your hair. He's sweet, and very patient, also very knowledgeable. Loves attention to detail & such a perfectionist which is definitely what you want from someone working on your delicate hair. I got my haircut at the same shop on the first floor (visionz) would definitely recommend the barbers there as well. Great experience. Check them out. read more

Xavier is a hair fairy godmother! I haven't had my hair cut in longer than I'd like admit. Xavier brought my hair from sad and damaged to healthy and full without taking off too much weight and length. In short term it's the best haircut and treatment I've ever had! Left feeling so confident and cared for! read more

Bless you, Xavier! I was in a major bind - I had an event coming up and my new stylist cancelled twice last minute and my hair was in an awful state. Plus, I have textured hair, so I was fearful to try someone new. Xavier to the rescue. He jumped right in with an awesome, welcoming attitude and mixed a perfect color (warm brown, exactly as I asked) that is still day-one vibrant 2 shampoos later. He's fantastic! You'll love how you look. Will definitely be back. read more

Xavier took his time with the blowout, styled it perfectly, and made sure I walked out feeling confident. Definitely coming back. read more
