    Julieann's "face framing" highlights at Howard Kurtz Salon
    Maria D.

    This review is for Julieann, I arrived with there for an appointment with my hair never having been in a healthier state. I finally was learning how to embrace my thick curly hair in it's natural state. For months, I was not applying heat and just letting it air dry. I finally made an appointment that was way past due because of the pandemic and I asked for color, and highlights, and a cut from Juliann who had been doing my hair for about a year. She had done the highlights about one year before and they had turned out nice the first time. She destroyed my hair in one fowl swoop. I was devastated. I have bald stripes all over my hair line where my hair fell out from my head. My hair just melted from the bleach she put on my hair, and then she put heat on the foils, because she said she was tired and hungry and needed to leave. She called this treatment her "face framing" highlights. I probably need extensions, but I want to see if it grows back or if she damaged my follicles permanently. When I called the salon to let them know what happened she claimed to have been having an "off day." I've never experienced hair loss like this before in my entire life; it's devastating. I met with Howard a few days later to show him what happened and he offered me a bottle of conditioner! If I could have given them negative stars I would have. So far, I have spent a small fortune on treatments and vitamins trying to grow my hair back. My profile pic shows my hair prior to all this.

    Well, now I understand why this place gets 5 stars all over the place!!! Because they DESERVE it!!!!! I needed an updo for a fancy event, red carpet, blah, blah so I decided to yelp and so I found this cool place 5 minutes from where I leave. How cool is that, I said to myself, for this affair to work out, have a fantastic updo and be home in no time? Guess what??? It all worked pretty amazingly. I've seen Patty and she did not only an incredible job at a reasonable price but also the styling lasted long after I came back home from the event ( more than 12 hours). I really, really liked this first time. I'm very decided to go back for a normal haircut so I will keep you posted. Meanwhile, you can enjoy some hairdo photos. :)

    I am writing this review on behalf of my mother. She doesn't have a yelp. She loves Howard, and has had him, color, highlight, cut and blow dry her hair the last year. She had her hair done for my wedding and she is a light brunette by nature but has been transformed into a beautiful blonde to match her pretty green eyes. She is always in great hands when she visits Howard Kurtz salon. I also had my hair blow dried the day before my wedding for my updo, they were able to fit me in last minute and squeeze me in. I am grateful for their exceptional service! This was her hair color for my wedding last November! She looked like a blonde bombshell!

    Great haircut today from Julie Ann. I'm pretty picky about my short hair, and she was willing to listen and make changes until I was happy with it! The only snafu was that someone forgot to write my appointment down on the hair stylist's personal schedule card, so she wasn't expecting me and I sat at the front waiting for about 15-20 min, but once she realized the mistake she was very apologetic, and I didn't feel that my appointment was rushed at all as a result. I will be back! Pictures posted of my awesome cut :)

    I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I left this appointment feeling really uncomfortable…read moreand like I was made to feel badly about the situation, which made the experience even worse. I had a 9:30 AM appointment and was there for nearly 4 hours, only to leave unhappy with my nails. The biggest issue was communication. I showed the nail tech both a photo and a video of the design I wanted, but she barely looked at them and didn't communicate with me throughout the service. I clearly asked for a cat eye design only at the top of the nail, blended downward. Instead, she did a full cat eye on the entire nail. When I pointed it out, she rolled her eyes, seemed annoyed, and removed everything. She then tried to do a French tip version of cat eye, which still wasn't what I asked for. I tried to explain and show her the video and picture again, but she became visibly frustrated, made faces, called another tech over, and walked away without saying anything to me. The second tech was kind and did try to help but I had to wait over an hour to be helped by her. She checked in with me on each nail and asked if I liked it, and I did appreciate that. However l, I just wanted to show her the picture and for her to go based off of that, but it seemed that both of them didn't just want to look at it closely and then do my nails from that. At one point, I left the picture open and towards her so she can reference it, but she wouldn't look at it . Over all, because everything felt rushed, it also made the situation uncomfortable, like I was being overly critical or didn't know what I wanted, when I had already provided a clear reference. Despite her effort, the work still felt rushed. The final result was closer to what I had asked for, but the shaping was uneven and overall the work felt sloppy. There was also no proper cleanup under the Gel X nails, and I had to fix that myself at home. Overall, the lack of communication, dismissive attitude, and rushed work made this a really disappointing experience.

    Let me start by saying that I have honestly been on a hunt for a nail salon, that is in a good…read morelocation, does a thorough and detailed manis and pedis, at a reasonable price, in a clean environment. It has taken me a couple of years and today, I found my place. Queen Bee is all of the above. Linda did my first ever cat eye mani and I am absolutely obsessed. Love the look so much. My pedi is perfection as well. It's been a very long time since I've had a pedi with so much care and time put into it. They are located upstairs and not very visible from the street (which I actually like) so make sure to follow the address. (upstairs from Marco's pizza) Make sure to make an appt!

I also love the huge selection of colors and gel brands--they have so many options to choose from, which makes the experience even more fun. Overall, I couldn't recommend this salon enough.

    First time getting a Russian pedicure & it will NOT be my last! Officially converted!…read more Sabina took me in as practically a walk in & my oh my, was she the SWEETEST! Very knowledgeable, walked me through everything (since it was my 1st time) & even recommended me to a podiatrist around the corner from the salon (I suffer from ingrowns!) The vibe here is 100/10. It's a nice little oasis, the music is chill enough but also, vibey. The decor here is CUTE! I felt such peace as soon as I walked in! You really forget you're on the busy Ventura Blvd in this little oasis. Will be returning soon!

    I decided to give this Nail salon a try, it had been a few weeks since I last got my nails done…read more When I arrived, they offered me coffee/water. I asked for water, and they brought it in a regular glass mug--something I found concerning for hygiene reasons. At a nail salon, it would be much safer and more sanitary to provide bottled water or disposable cups for customers. My Gel pedicure was done very quickly less t 30 minutes it felt rushed. The cuticles weren't properly trimmed, and the nails weren't deep-cleaned, which is unusual compared to other gel pedicures I've had that usually take 45-60 minutes. My Gel mani was similar- the nail polish had to be applied and removed several times, made it seem like the nail technician might not have been very experienced. Again, cuticles weren't addressed, and the process felt hurried. The salon itself is beautiful, and the aesthetic is lovely, but the service left me disappointed. I was hoping for a relaxing experience, and instead it felt rushed and just awkward vibes.
