I was on Google looking for a particular edge control and decided to call some Beauty Supply stores that were in the area. I called, did an item check for the edge control I was looking for (6/28/25) and the man on the phone confirmed they had it! Kelly Beauty is nestled in a lot with lots of parking next to a credit union and Albertsons. When I walked in I saw (2) sweet and welcoming Asian men working the floor. I let them know I called and the guy from my phone directed the other to grab the product --by name -- that I needed and gave it to me. I attended to and appreciated the hospitality. Due to how nicely the store is set up I couldn't help but to look around they have a lot of black & brown products, beautiful scarfs at the front that'll grab your attention. I ended up getting x2 scarfs (long in length, big in width) and some braiding jewelry. My total came out to be $45 + change this included the edge control I needed. Yes, Yes, I know... that's a bit pricey but I believe it was worth it. The edge control if I ordered online from the supplier it would've been around the same amount (including tax, shipping/handling) I needed this immediately so I paid the price, lol. The scarfs were good quality and the braiding jewelry was very reasonably priced. Kelly Beauty had lots of products that some other beauty supplies don't even have in stock. Just sayin'. I'll come back here because I know they'll have it in stock. I recommend due to their vast inventory not due to pricing of course ('cause they're a bit high with some things) and maybe next time I'll find out: WHO IS KELLY!? read more

Kelly Beauty Supply - 6/28/25: Bask & Lather Edge Control, braiding jewelry and (2) scarfs - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Gardena, California

The store is clean and organized well. The staff have customer service, however, I purchased a product that was not good. I went back and all of the same product were not good. I didn't push but it put a damper on the quality of the visits. read more

I always pass this store but never stepped inside, however decided to stop in on Saturday 10/11/25. From the time I walked in, I was followed around which was so uncomfortable. That's also my last visit to this store. read more

always a pleasure shopping here at Kelly beauty supply store ;) They have an amazing selection of options to choose from.

They had what I needed and was very reasonable also clean. Was located in a nice area not hard to ding either

My experience was not very good. I sent my granddaughter in to get some braiding jell...I was on FaceTime with her. I asked how much was a certain one which is the black pride. She said 799. I looked at my checking account. They didn't give a receipt the next day or so and it's $14.35...so I called to inquiry about it and he's telling me I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about I don't know what you're talking about. Bye. Have a good day...so check your receipt. Check your price when you're checking out because obviously they will cheat you and then idk ...SMH read more

Very pleased they had the hair (EZ braid) I was looking for. I had been to 3 beauty supply stores in Carson and none of them had what I needed. 1 store carried the brand but not the color and the other 2 stores---nada! I think it's still kinda new as it is a hypoallergenic hair product for people that wear braids. There was a second product I tried all the stores for as well. Unfortunately they didn't have it either. read more

Good local shop to buy my perming solutions, shampoo, conditioner and random hair and beauty related things. They don't carry high end brands which is a bummer but it works. To the reviewers who say they follow you around bc of racism, I've been followed on multiple occasions as well and I'm Korean American. Usually when I make eye contact they ask if I need help. As a daughter of small business owners (whom never followed people around, my parents were too lazy lol, but always got shit stolen from their shop), I get it. It sucks when people swipe stuff, even if it's small. Because those small things add up every time some cheap douchebag doesn't want to spend $10. If you don't like someone following you, just ask if they need anything and to please let you shop in peace bc you dont need help. What happened to civility?? Anyway, end rant. I come here about 1-3 times a year, they have stuff I use and it's cheaper than the nicer beauty shops in Torrance. The shop owner or whoever he is speaks English and is nice. He's helped me on multiple occasions to select perming supplies and solution. read more

They are very rude and racist. Too bad, I really was looking forward to this. I would recommend everyone to actually read the reviews, I am not the only one who experienced this. Like others said, they follow you around the store, raise their voices, and make you feel uncomfortable. read more

I went in looking for bohyme hair extensions 16" ash blonde. They only told me they had 18" and "22 inches... i had already bought blond extensions that were 16" at a place in corona ( i should of drove today) they put 16" hair in an 18" package, tried to charge me 280$... then they worked out their price to 16" prices for me 240$ i get my 16 inche hair extensions for 195$... i came home thinking i had to cut the 18inches to match with my 16". Guess what they were the same size, this is a rip off brand too, only last a week and then it tangles. Notice the 2 difference in packages.... MAJOR RIP OFF. NEVER GOING BACK!!!!! read more

Overpriced. Charged me full price for a nail polish on sale. Nail polish that is already 3 dollars more than anywhere else. Whatever, my fault for buying it. read more

I must say, they do have a good selection of products. However, they make your shopping experience extremely uncomfortable by following you around in the store and watching your every move in the cameras. I used to come here regularly, but eventually they lost a loyal customer based on how the racially profile black customers by watching their every move. Not an enjoyable experience. read more

I love this little beauty supply place. Its located a business down from Albertsons. It's small but compact with a bunch of beauty supplies! It's a little pricy compared to Sally's on some things but not on everything. They sell individual gloves for your hair coloring needs, and the guy that works there was very nice. I was looking for the shampoo that takes the orange/gold tones out of your hair and he knew exactly what I wanted and led the way! He also showed me to the toner and this little bleaching kit to do highlights! I even walked out with leave I conditioner. Seriously if you have the need to change your hair on your own this is the place to go. read more

This place is the BEST! They carry Adore hair dye, which is really hard to find. They also seem to have a lot of NYX cosmetics! :-) The store has a vast selection of beauty supply items, as well as cute accessories such as earrings, headbands, etc. Very organized as well! DEFINITLEY making this my go-to spot for hair dye and other beauty supplies instead of Sally beauty! read more

The moment my friend and I walked in, we were stared down by two workers. One a young male and other a older female. Their eyes followed every part we went to. Of course, my friend and I felt nervous since we knew that they think we were stealing some things. After 5 minutes, I was done with them staring at us and talking to each other in a strong tone while staring at us.(I didn't know what they were saying because I do not speak their language) I then told them "Don't worry we are not going to steal anything." They did not seem to look surprised and the lady yelled. "Then get out!" I was shocked and replied " umm if you want us to put our backpacks to the side or something we will, we are just looking at the stuff..." (We had backpacks because we went to go study at Starbucks) Then the guy said "I'm going to have to ask you to leave the store." I was so shocked! We were not acting suspicious. We did not have hands in our pockets or hoodies or anything. We were simply looking and talking about the braids and hair dyes! We didn't even touch most items or hide. Shocked, I said " ok, we were not stealing anything though. I'll be sure to write this on YELP." as I walked out the store with my friend. Don't go here. I never had this happen to me before. ;( Came back here to see, they still rude. Lol. It's funny how rude they can get. read more

I always buy my Kiss brand black eyeliners here. Their prices are very reasonable! I would definitely recommend this beauty supply store! They are located in the Albertsons shopping plaza with plenty of parking. read more

They got every beauty product that you can think of. I came here for hair product, and they were kind enough to explain what each products were good for. Def recommend, and its good to know that this is a local mom/pop store! read more

No. Never again. The owner is rude (at least he was towards me). I came here to buy duck bill clips and I saw some eyeliner. He rung up the eyeliner and I hadn't realized the price was so high, so I asked him to take it off. He got an instant attitude! He took the eyeliner off the bill and tossed it on the counter so hard it bounced off and fell on the floor. I paid with cash and he damn near threw the cash in my hand and some change fell out of my palm and onto the counter. I'll never go here again mark my words, shame because I live right around the corner. I'm so pissed I almost want to stage a boycott outside. How disrespectful. I didn't deserve that. read more

I've been coming here for a while, and I can say that they definitely don't stereotype here. As long as you're nice and treat them like human beings, they are more than willing to help. I've seen people march into the store in a rude manner and that kind of attitude would upset anybody, regardless of race. The owner and his son are always helpful. They know exactly what to recommend from edge control, extensions, hair dyes, etc - for different types of hair. They are a pleasure for me to do business with, and sometimes they'd give me free samples after checkout. read more

Older gentleman and lady always very welcoming and nice! I love coming here for my toner, developer, and Adore hair colors! Which ofcourse I always end up leaving with something from the counters or eyeslashes lol!!! They're very patient cause I'm always adding stuff last minute!!! I enjoy going here for my beauty supplies!!! Lots of parking too!! read more

Followed me as soon as I came in the store and everything is ridiculously overpriced no thank you I'd rather go to Walmart or to a beauty supply in Los angles read more

today was my last day going into this beauty supply. I have been going there for quite some time and today was the day. I brought a hair product and when I got home it seem like it was old the date was covered with a sticker but I could see a little and it looked like 2016, I told the guy that it was old and just wanted to exchange the product and even showed him where the box fell apart as I opened it, he goes and get another one peeling off the sticker to say it is not expired until 2026 and I was being calm and told him I just didn't want it because it's old I just want to get something else, this guy was so angry and wanted to try to argue with me and I think he called me stupid but could not really understand his non talking self. I wanted to tell him off and make a mess in the store but I didn't. He follows pepole around and watches you like a hawk I should have been stopped going but it was so convenient but I will never ever support that business again and Im making it known everywhere I can not to support his racist self. read more

I come here all the time to get hair! It's affordable and has a huge selection of styles. The owners of the place are such nice people. I've seen all these yelp reviews about them being rude but if you treat them as respectful human beings they will do the same to you. Thanks Kelly Beauty Supply :) read more

Love this beauty supply. They have a wide selection of products. And I especially love the variety of OPI products! The staff is friendly and polite. They even have a rewards card! read more

Ignore negative reviews! This is the place to go! I went here to buy a hair pack. I was a little hesitant based on all of the previous reviews. However, I had a great experience. The two gentlemen there were very polite, patient and helpful with all of my questions. I couldn't make up my mind and they never made me feel rushed. They assured me to take my time and want to make me feel satisfied with my purchase. They have great prices and great selection on hair, hair products, wigs, makeup and nail polish! This is the place to come!! As for the reviews on being looked at like "you're going to steal something".... this is Gardena #nuffsaid. We need to support our local business owners who ARE in danger of being robbed 24/7 and still choose to offer these products to us. This isn't the best area and they should be on guard NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE! It's called job security A big thank you to those two gentlemen who helped me!! We will be returning with our business and referring friends and fam read more

Wanted to get extensions for my hair. Walked in 10 mins before they closed, the husband and wife were very helpful. Matched my hair color and showed me how to put the extensions in. The quality of hair was very nice. Not too badly priced for human hair, about $100 for a 8 piece set. Worth every penny!! read more

Two of the beauty supply stores near me in Gardena shut down and I had to find a new home. This store is life! They have everything a black woman would ever need from a beauty supply store. They have Jamaican black castor oil, products to create u-part wigs and NYX cosmetics. Everything you want is here. One of the workers is really friendly and outgoing. I recommend this place! read more

They got so many different kinds of edge control and lots of cosmetic products from NYX and KISS!! As I know that Adore is so hard to find but they got all Adore (hair color semi-permanent)!! I Love This Store!!! read more

The front desk person refused to service me because I mentioned their debit card policy. If businesses refuse to keep up with the times and treat all customers fairly they will not survive. I'm not sure if it's because I'm a black woman they treated me so rudely but my roommate mentioned they treated her rudely too. So visit if you want bad customer service in an already empty shop. Also the prices were so over priced but I was gonna buy because support local businesses but it's totally ok. read more

I have been to this store twice now and I can say that I will not be returning. My first visit was about 4 months ago. I went in to buy hair for box braids. It took me a while to figure out the color. The guy was nice and did not bother me at all probably because he was standing by the register watching. At the time I was the only customer in the store. I found the hair to be much more inexpensive compared to the prices I paid in Louisiana so I was pleased with the purchase. Let us fast forward to last week (July 4) when I made my second visit. I entered the store and there was a young lady and the same guy standing at the register. I was greeted as I entered. I want to say there was only one other customer inside but during my visit several customers entered and exited. I returned to buy the same hair as my previous visit. Unfortunately they only had the color I wanted in 3 bags and I needed 10. The man approached me 3 times and every time I looked up I caught his eye. I do not steal. I work hard for my money. I do not appreciate being watched. There is a shoplifting sign on the door when you enter so it is evident they must have encountered much theft. That however still does not automatically qualify me as a thief. So, I pondered about which shade would fit me best since they did not have what I came in for in stock. I placed the bags of hair at the front since they do not have shopping bags or carts and made my way to look for gel and edge control as well as just browse the store. The eco styler gel I purchased was inexpensive but the curls edge control was $5 more than what I could have spent at Target or Sallys. Excessive. I grabbed my items and decided the prices on product and the constant following and being bothered while shopping is not something I am willing to put up with. I will find a different beauty supply store in the future to satisfy my needs. read more

Always warm greetings. They know their products and assist any every way possible. Large variety of hair and hair care products, accessories and lots of extras. 2 Thumbs up! read more

I promised I would leave a good review because they allowed me to exchange a product that I didn't mean to pick up, which most beauty supply stores don't do. This place is also pretty organized for my liking and they carry very good hair brands. read more

I've been shopping at this beauty supply store since it changed owners approximately ten years ago and I WILL NEVER SHOP THERE AGAIN!!! The owner sold my husband an electric clipper which malfunctioned two days after purchase and the owner refused to give a refund, stating that "something must be wrong with my outlet at home".... ABSOLUTE ABSURDITY!!! The clipper DID NOT WORK PROPERLY! It shut off intermittently and did not work properly. This owner lacks professionalism and knows nothing about customer service and obviously doesn't stand behind the products he sells. If there was nothing wrong with the the clipper, then why not refund my money??? His unwillingness to give a refund proves that he himself has no faith in his own product line. An honest business owner stands by the products sold in their store; HE OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT!!! My advice... BUYER BEWARE!!! KNOW THIS OWNER IS NOT INTERESTED IN CUSTOMER SERVICE; BUT WILL CERTAINLY TAKE YOUR MONEY!!! By the way.... I LEFT THE CLIPPER ON THE COUNTER IN THE STORE, DID NOT GET A REFUND AND WALKED OUT!!!! IT DOESN'T WORK AND IT IS OF NO USE, SO WHY KEEP IT? I'M OUT OF THE MONEY AND HAVE NO PRODUCT TO SHOW FOR THE RECEIPT I STILL HAVE IN MY POSSESSION. WATCH OUT... HE'LL SELL THE SAME BROKEN MERCHANDISE TO SOMEONE ELSE!!! DON'T LET IT BE YOU!!! read more

Unfortunately, this beauty supply store is a stereotype. I walked in, was not greeted. I was watched as if I was going to steal something. As I tried on two wigs, the older males salesperson silently watched me like a hawk. After being in this store for approx. 15 mins., another African American woman came in. She was with her teenaged daughter. The woman requested to try on a wig. The male sales clerk told her, she could try on one after I left the store! What? She looked at me and I looked at her in amazement. I asked him to repeat what he had said, and sure enough he said "she try on after she (that's me) leave" So needless to say, neither of us purchased anything from this store. We both left, and trust me I will never return. Young ladies, grow out your own hair. Get products at a cheaper price either online or at Target. read more

This is my go to beauty supply store. It's small but yet they have all of the products you will need for crochet hairstyles, Jamaican black castor oil, and makeup. The owners are knowledgeable of the products and are very respectful and friendly. I am not sure why so many have such negative experiences about this place but they have always been kind to me! read more

I was introduced to this hair supply store by my best friend. This beauty supply store is Korean owned and the staff is very friendly. I've been buying 100% human hair clip on hair extensions(the brand is fashion source) for the past two years. The quality of hair is high considering the fact that the wear lasts for about a year withstanding the abuse of my waving iron and straightener ;). They also have 16in clip in hair extensions that costs $65.99 + tax, 18in for 80 or 90 dollars, and they also have 20 inch hair extensions. The wefts are thick, the clips stay in place( i've gone swimming in the beach and they haven't fallen off), and it comes in a set. They also sell wigs and other beauty supplies but I mainly go here for the clip ins! read more

every time i come here they think im stealing or follow me around the store i understand that it's a small store but it's never that serious to follow me down each isle read more

Really small beauty supply store with little selection, but clean and organized. The guy at the counter was very friendly and actually searched through the weaving needles for me when I asked for one with a narrow end. He didn't even give me an attitude! read more

I've been looking for "Layrite" Pomade forever. This beauty supply carries everything I need. And their KMS gel is way cheaper than other stores so i always come here to buy this product. The best thing i like about this beauty supply is that they are always friendly and nice everytime i stop by this store. I'm already almost out of my Layrite read more
