I just had the most amazing experience with Christina for haircut and highlight! She is a true artist! As a blonde it is hard to achieve the perfect "natural" and "non stripey" look that does not have gold and also blends naturally with darker roots. She did the most incredible highlighting job - my color is literally perfection. She was so personable and warm and truly cares about making her clients happy. Also - everyone at the Salon is friendly which was a pleasant experience. The woman who washed my hair was super sweet and accommodating, I was offered water, tea, coffee and complimented by woman at the front desk. Ken Paves runs his Salons well! Location is also private and like a little secret garden, which I love. Will be back! read more

Do not be fooled by the fake 5 star reviews on this Salon. They have cleaned up all their mistakes with legal representation to pay and remove their bad reviews as they are trying to do the same with me and sweep me under the rug because they have severely damaged my hair and my expensive silk dress. I booked in with Benny and she claimed to have worked 3 years at the salon working with top clients and flying to hawaii with them. I communicated with her via email and also texts she was friendly and sweet. I had a consultation on the day with her and explained thoroughly what I needed a natural vanilla blonde balayage and I did not want to lose my natural hair at all. I need to keep it natural for my line of work in film. I arrived at the Salon at 230pm and left at 930pm in the worst case scenario ever. After Benny begun my hair and rinsed it at the first time she clearly had done mistakes and did not know what she was doing this was around 530pm I was getting tired and said politely maybe it is best I return another time she was like no i will just add some more foils and toner. I never even wanted toner. She then spent more time doing things to my hair I did not ask for. The result is an uneven patchy, bleeding, brassy mess on my hair. I had 6 months of dark natural healthy regrowth. It is now frail damaged dry and looks like someone put a dye box on me. It had pink tones stripes and was just awful. I was in no way satisfied and Benny knew it but I was still nice with her of course. I unwillingly paid with a small discount. When I got home I saw the back and underneath my hair and the real tragedy. I texted her that evening to tell her how unhappy I was. I did not threaten her as the salon has implied and written an email now to try create a new way to skip out of being accountable. I went back the next day to Brittney who is Benny's trainer apparently. She put a gloss on my hair but this just covered a small bit at the top of my hair. It did not rectify the rest of the damage and all they gave me was a tiny pot of treatment to go home with. Benny came out and said hi as well she was in good spirits and happy. If someone was threatened they would be scared to go near them. I work on tv and film and this has severely affected my chances of bookings as well as my emotional state. As well as having my hair tortured my Brand new Silk dress had bleach/colour run down the back of it staining it which is not fixable . I emailed the salon with pictures about this and as well as wanting them to continue to fix my hair and they emailed me saying I threatened Benny and they are seeking legal representation ( you will see their email in the pictures). Take a good look at all the pictures of what has happened and how such a so-called reputable salon will handle an easily fixable situation. They are truly in the wrong and everyone needs to know to avoid this place like the coronavirus. Stay far far away they are just a location and nothing more. read more

I have been going to Benny for almost a year now and could not be happier! I have ultra blonde hair and am very specific with the tone and technique done to it. She always goes above and beyond making me feel comfortable and taken care of. She is easy to talk to, fun and always open to my ideas! At this point I don't trust anyone else with my hair! I have also reached out to her on multiple occasions for last minute bookings and she has always been able to accommodate, which I really appreciate during these current times! My husband has recently started getting his hair cut by her as well and has now fully hopped on the Benny train! He told me he now refuses to let anyone else touch his hair! Bonus! Their outdoor patio/salon area is beautiful!! read more

Ken Paves Salon - Hair cut and colored by Benny - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Trying to book a return appointment but all my calls go straight to a dental clinic. Can somebody please help? Thanks so much!

I've been going to Bethany for about 6 months now. I found her when a random hairstylist messed up my hair Color & left it patchy. She took her time at the consult & fixed it. Then, she helped me go blonde at a different session (I have really dark hair). I love how she knows my hair really well and takes her time to do things right. If you have any issues, she'll immediately fix it. She has even come in on her day off to make time for me-which is awesome. read more

Perfection! Ken is the sweetest and his staff is the best! The salon feels so cozy and their chill area in the back is just so pretty! read more

I booked an appointment with Benny and a sweet associate she was. She cut my hair and I am completely satisfied with her expertise. The salon practices COVID-19 safe distancing with partitions between the wash bowls, cleaning and sanitizing the chair between patrons and everyone is masked up. You are in good hands at Ken Paves. read more

So my hairdresser Denise left .....but the universe sent me a new friend in San Diego who sent me to her beloved CHLOE and I'm ecstatic! Chloe cut my hair as well as my twin sister and she was just the greatest thing ever! Not only is she the Creative Director, long time veteran at Ken Paves....but she spent so much time on the detail of the haircut and we both never looked so great. 5 compliments in one day, bless you Chloe! Next up, I will entrust my haircolor and natural looking honey colored highlights to only her! read more

This salon is a vision in West Hollywood. Everything down to the antiqued furniture and scattered chandeliers among enormous geodes and an alcove garden to escape the bustling of amazing stylists. The products are all incredible and left my hair looking (and smelling) fantastic. Anna was very professional and listened to my wants while also asserting her own creative perspective. Leaving Ken Paves Salon I felt as gorgeous as their stand-by celebrity clientele. I can't believe I have such perfect bangs and it's all thanks to Anna! read more

Tarra has been coloring and styling my hair for the past 5 years and the results have always exceeded my expectations. Having only a partial vision about what I would like to do at each appointment, Tarra has always provided great recommendations on the final look so the selected color would compliment my skin tone in the best way. I am a big fan of hair painting and staying true to my brunette base and Tarra has delivered that flawlessly every time. If you know exactly what you would like to do at your appointment, Tarra will carry that out for you 100%, and if you would like a recommendation when wanting to try out a new style then she is the best! Looking forward to my upcoming appointment at Ken Paves salon! read more

I have been going to this salon for years now. Highly recommend!!!!! Always leave feeling like a million bucks. Would give 10 stars if I could :) read more

This is an overdue review. I've been coming to Amaran for years. Even when I lived out of the country, I'd see him on my visits home. He's kind, professional, talented, personable. It's a treat whenever I go to see him at this salon. They make you tea or coffee, and offer cookies- a nice plus since it takes me 2 hours to do my hair. Amaran is a master with color. And his blow drys are amazing. I love our conversations. I always leave feeling beautiful which is how you should feel after a luxurious salon experience. Worth every penny. And I look forward to going there every 5 weeks for my touch ups. read more

After many years of searching for a new stylist (after my favorite guy dropped off the face of the earth) and after several horrible haircuts, I finally found the Ken Paves Salon. The day I went, they were actually having a fund raising event where the hair cuts were discounted. I had to wait a little bit (which is only because it was so busy from the fund raiser) but the wait was nice because I got to sit on the little patio/garden area. Chloe cut my hair and spent a lot of time on it, even though they were stacked up. But I had to leave for an appointment, so she rushed and finished. I was very happy with the cut. The next day Chloe called me and asked me to come back because she just wasn't satisfied with the cut and didn't think she did a good job when rushing. I was blown away. I returned and let her "fix" it and it actually looked even better!! This salon has quality stylists, has a wonderful, friendly atmosphere, and I would highly recommend it. GO! read more

Ken Paves Salon. I've always known of Ken Paves but had never been to any of his salons. If you're unsure of who he is you've seen him with Jessica Simpson, on Oprah, and with Eva Longoria. Think about it. It'll click. :) The salon looks super tiny from the front but it's not actually! I love their little courtyard waiting area! Even in the busy section of LA/BH they managed to bring some serenity due to their layout and decor. I had Cory for my first visit and he was great. Cory is super cool, nice, and knows his stuff. I like that he sticks to his instincts and really comes up with a great plan while still giving you what you want. Love! Cory is not your typical bougie Beverly Hills guy either which is really nice. He knows his stuff, really gave me some great tips so that I didn't end up looking trashy, and I left happy. He even stayed later to finish me up too. Interesting guy, nice, and instrinctual. Check him out and get your pampering on! read more

It took me a few years to find a salon I loved. Started coming to the Ken Paves salon earlier this year for highlights and haircuts...and I'm just in love with this place. Hair: I go to Alexis for all things related to my hair. Highlights, low lights, cuts, hair maintenance, etc. She just rocks. Actually, everyone in this salon is amazing and sweet. Location: The salon is in the heart of Beverly Hills so it can take you awhile to get to when you are coming here after work in rush hour. Metered street parking only with a two hour max. I normally don't have any issues finding a spot. However, I do find that I have to run out to the meter to fill it since I normally go past the 2 hr mark. Ambience: This place is stupid cute. A very romantic, whimsical feel with chandeliers, a little garden, etc. Lots of great natural light. I love spending time here. Overall: I love the vibe here. I love the people. This is my forever salon and would recommend it in a heartbeat. read more

If I could give this salon 1000 stars i would. The hype around the name doesn't even come close to the talent that works wonders inside this little cottage. When I first went in, I was afraid that it was going to be pretentious, I was nervous to even step inside let alone look at the bill afterward. Im not a celebrity, Im not a model and certainly not rich- Im just a hard working girl that is very particular about her hair. The warmth greets you as soon as you walk in the door. Every person in the room greets you with a smile- and not a fake smile but a genuine "How are you." It amazing that a place like this even exists in LA. I never felt out of place, no one was staring at the fact I wore my beat up sweats in there- they treat every person that walks in the door equally and with the highest regard. Even when Ken is walking around the studio he greets everyone, says hello and thank you, even plays with my dogs. I haven't ever looked back. ALEXIS is by far the best hairs stylist I have ever had (and I have had A TON- Im from NYC, I've been to every salon imaginable) she is so sweet, beautiful and funny. But her talent far surpasses any expectation I had. Her attention to detail is unparalleled. She doesnt just SEE color she tries to see it as you do (I see red in everything) and she fine tunes her work accordingly. I know I can be a pain in the butt, I like things how I like them and she has never let me walk out less than satisfied. She collaborates her talent with her clients desires while making SURE to maintain the integrity of the hair (and we have been blonde, brown, dark, light , ombre and back again) Her rate is always beyond fair, and in no way extreme for the quality. Please I have paid hundred and gone home crying at other places. I have never seen a person working there that wasn't doing amazing things with their clients, everyone I have referred to ALEXIS has stayed with her sand sent me thank you notes for bringing them to her. She has not only become my hair guru but my friend, I look forward to my time there and I hate to sit still. If you are even thinking about making an appointment just go for it, see ALEXIS ( though the entire staff is great) You will never leave feeling less than beyonce. read more

Hit or Miss at this beautiful hair salon. I have gone twice now to the ultra-fabulous Ken Paves salon and I guess it all depends on who works on your hair. The first time I went, she did a great job but really not worth the money. My second visit was with another stylist who did nothing to my hair! As soon as I washed the hair, poof, you'd never know I paid so much $$ for a hair cut & style. That's because she just curled my hair and called it a day. I can imagine going to this salon if: A) you are a cast member of a highly successful syndicated show and money is no object B) it's your Big Day (prom/wedding/etc...) and you want the trendy celebrity experience read more

Lorien is a hair Goddess. I am not kidding you. Yesterday I was stopped by not one but TWO people asking where I had my hair done and how great it looks. She really listens to what you have in mind, and they amount of time you want to spend on it every day. I would recommend her to anyone. Don't let this crazy robertson salon deter you....best hair and color ever! read more

I was referred to Tuan at Ken Paves after having one too many bad haircuts and color by other salons. I walked in and was greeting by a kind receptionist. She took me to the back and gave me a cup of coffee while I waited for Tuan. Tuan is AMAZING! He gave me exactly what I wanted. No more. No less. The staff was amazing. There's even a lady that brings in amazing cookies!! :D read more

So I have never actually been to this salon, but let me tell you a little bit about one of the stylists who works there: the hair-love-of-my-life, Denise. I went to Denise for about 3 years, following her from Santa Monica to Venice Beach (which, I admit, required a little stalking on my part since my address changed before she moved so she was unable to contact me to tell me she had left! Oops.) Denise never disappoints. She is everything you could want in a hair stylist. She's nice, she listens to what you want, has great ideas, and always always ALWAYS makes you look fabulous. I changed my hair color a number of times with Denise and she never ever made me look at one of those stupid swatch books. She listened to what I wanted, made some suggestions and then made me look 100x better than I looked when I came into the salon. What's even better? Not only is her color amazing, her haircuts are to die for. Moving back to the bay area and trying a number of different high-end salons has only further convinced me that no one does hair like Denise--it's gotten to the point where I've considered taking a trip to LA solely for my hair's sake! Either way, if you're looking for something cutting-edge or just a quick update on your current style, Denise is your girl. Just be prepared, not only will you be bombarded with more compliments than ever before, you'll probably be approached by other stylists in LA begging you to be a hair model! (true story!) read more

Groupon User - Previous celeb styling assistant in NY I went with a Groupon for half the price and was treated just like any other client. When I arrived a few minutes late from getting lost they were very gracious, offering me coffee and seating me with my stylist right away. I was a stylist in NY in one of the best salon's when I was young, and my stylist showed the same perfectionist cutting style my co-workers in NY had. Cory Mook, stylist. He did an amazing job on my hair cut, and the blow-dry lasted for 3 days! I feel beautiful again. He spent a ton of time with me, and I intend on returning to him. Well worth the $125 I will spend since this year I've spent half as much on hair cuts that left me feeling like a boring soccer mom. Oh, and my husband thanks you Cory. His wife is back ;) read more

I love this salon! Friendly staff with a hip atmosphere. It's very cute and looks like a cottage. You can lounge outside on the patio while waiting for your stylist. Kamie is the best! She gives amazing dry cuts and is a pro at coloring. I went from blonde highlights to dark brown all over color. I couldn't be happier with the results. I will definitely be coming back to see her. FYI: There is only metered street parking. read more

I went to Ken Paves to support a friend who was getting 6' cut. The recommendation came from one of the many facebook groups we follow so she was slightly skeptical of going by herself. When we went to Ken Paves everyone was so kind and helpful. Christina listened to everything my friend said and even gave recommendations on how to keep her hair healthy for the future. It felt like a girls day out because of how much we laughed and talked about changes in all of our lives. I would recommend this place to any of my friends who want a fresh hair start! read more

Ken was so kind and bubbly while walking around from station to station; saying hello, and checking up on everyone. A true professional. My stylist was great. (Nyke) She took her time and colored my hair gorgeously. I will definitely go back to her. She was a newer girl, but still very talented. I've had my hair done all over the world, and she had the most gentle touch. The other stylists were uber talented. I observed them doing everything from extensions, to cut and color. I noticed all creeds, and therefore, all hair types being catered to. It was impressive. This salon was adorable. A great location. Nestled in flowering trees, with an outdoor patio area. I loved the pretty chandeliers and an antiqued "tea party" look. The aesthetics were great. My ONLY qualm was the itty bitty stair case that everyone had to share that ran into the register area. Very tight quarters. Don't wear heels to this salon unless you are a true champion of wearing heels while walking on brick. (not me) hehe! read more

I love this place! I moved to LA about a year ago, and of course, as my roots grew out, the first most stressful thing was to find the right hair salon. In every place I've lived in, I usually go through about 5-6 hairdressers until I find a good one. Luckily, I was assigned to Haley Malouf at Ken Paves Salon, and she's the perfect match for me! Not only does my hair always look amazing, she very friendly, patient, and has worked with me to get it absolutely perfect to my liking. I love the atmosphere of Ken Paves Salon as well - it's very quaint and comfortable. All the staff is very nice and professional. So happy I found my hair salon home on the first try in LA! One extra thing to note is that the Beverly Hills parking cops are nuts. Make sure you refill your meter before it runs out because they'll give you a ticket if you are one second expired! read more

During my last trip to LA I came to Ken Paves after reading about the various salons in Beverly Hills I made the appointment and the receptionist was pleasant and accommodating My stylist was Anna and I got the best colouring I've ever had! She listened to what I wanted and took her time before we concluded on a look. The colour came out perfect and I really appreciated that she took into consideration the maintenance required for what I originally proposed. Love the hair, love the cut, love the salon. Will be back!! read more

By far, the best experience I've had at a Salon and with my stylist, Alexis. The salon itself has a fun vibe and staff's so friendly. A friend told me how amazing Alexis was, since I had been looking for a stylist in LA. She wasn't lying! I came to Alexis with extremely long roots and she worked her magic. I've never had a stylist spend this much time with me. I have long thick hair and Alexis spend hours working on coloring. The wait was worth it, Alexis blended my color perfectly and I'm really happy with the results. Alexis is extremely talent at her job and really cares about her clients. She such a sweet person and I would 100% recommend her. read more

Denise is amazing. I moved to New York recently and (although I never took her for granted) am definitely missing her! In the five years that I lived in West Hollywood I had tried about every swanky salon between there and Santa Monica with nothing I was thrilled about. I kept trying new products and styling techniques thinking that my hair had somehow changed to crap, but it wasn't until I went to Denise that I truly appreciated the importance of a good cut. I have long wavy to curly hair and she cuts it in long layers with sheers. It falls perfectly without styling, pieces together without texturing, and she's also really good with shape. The salon of course is beautiful, Denise is really lovable, and she finishes shockingly fast. It always grows out amazingly. I've actually went five months between cuts before and it looked just as great at the end as it did right after she cut it. I found someone I like in New York, but will definitely go back to her when I'm in LA. ( : read more

I wanted to give a review of the salon and Casey P below, literally took all the words out of my mouth in her review and I could not agree more. This salon is amazing!!! By far the only salon I will go to. The people that work there are some of the most genuine, down to earth people you can possibly ever meet especially in LA. Just writing this review, makes me want to go to the salon and hangout. That's just how welcoming everyone is. Alexis is truly the best hair stylist I have ever had. As a blonde, I can be really picky and I am always afraid of damaging my hair. Alexis takes her time to make sure that my hair comes out just right and I have never walked out of the salon unsatisfied. She is an expert at fine tuning my color and really listens to my concerns and needs. I have been with her 6+ years and I have never looked back and never will. The thought of moving and not having Alexis doing my hair gives me anxiety. She truly goes above and beyond and you will always leave the salon looking amazing. The salon, the people-every single one of them, and Alexis A++++++++ read more

Another great experience and service at Ken Paves! Everyone at Ken Paves are so friendly. I was in my 2nd trimester of pregnancy and had a balayage highlights done on me as it was the safest method. Since it was a lengthy process, they had ordered me food, and went to my car a couple of times to feed my meter for me. Anna did both my cut and color and she kept checking up on me to ensure I was comfortable. She also did an amazing job on my hair as well read more

I love this salon! I go to Tip and she is the best! I have been highlighting my hair blonde for over 10 years and have never been to someone as good as Tip! She spends so much time on my hair and it shows. I have also found that my highlights last longer. I use to have to get my hair highlighted every 6 weeks and now I can go easy 10 weeks. She also does amazing hair cuts. oh and did I mention that the ambiance at the salon is heavenly?! I referred my friend who is a brunette to Tip. She got a cut and highlights, and her hair has never looked better! So have no fear - she's a pro with blondes and brunettes!! Seriously love love love Tip and Ken!! Oh and they sell the best products. Ken's shampoo smells so good and I'm obsessed with the 7 Seconds detangler they sell. PS - bring coins for the meters outside. And the staff is great about reminding you to check your meter so you don't get a ticket. read more

This salon is simply stunning ! It's the perfect little escape from all the hustle and bustle in LA.

Ken Paves Salon is not your typical Beverly Hills Hair Salon. It's quaint and serene inside unlike the hustle and bustle of the rest of Robertson Blvd. My hairdresser Brittney S. is AMAZING. She has to be the best colorist I've ever been to. She always does a fabulous job and I'm always so pleased after having her do my hair. Blondes are complicated to color yet and she's never left me looking brassy like so many others have. She does a mean cut and updo too! I'm super excited to see what she comes up with for my upcoming wedding. One of the salon assistants, Jillian is always so helpful and welcoming to the clients. She is always checking to ensure everyone has enough money in the meters outside, offering drinks and has a pleasant attitude while you're in the shop. Love this place! read more

Oh my god. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! For once someone did the exact hairstyle I have wanted for so long!! A huge shout out to Graham Nation and Ken Paves! They're truly amazing. I had a wonderful experience. Definitely going to come back 100%! read more

Such a great experience. The salon is so cute and well put together. I just moved to LA & was looking for someone new to color my hair. Like most girls I'm psycho about my hair, so I was very nervous. I had Benny color my hair & it looks UNREAL. First of all she is the sweetest person ever & she knows exactly what shes doing. I showed her a picture of what I wanted & she did exactly that. She did half a head of "rooty" highlights & I can't stop looking in the mirror. I am obsessed, Benny is the best! read more

After extensive searching and an accumulation of very mediocre haircuts and blowouts at various recommended "high end" salons during my search for my new "go-to" hair stylist since moving back to LA, I finally found my cutting and blow-out guru- Denise at Ken Paves! And I found my much treasured stylist from my wonderful fellow Yelp-ers with amazingly good taste and much appreciated honest reviews! A huge thank you to all of you for your detailed and honest experiences you shared. I have long "Victoria's Secret" hair (as hair people on set- in my modeling work) call my hair! HaHa! :) And it has been quite hard to find someone whose not primarily an editorial hair stylist whom I can go to for my weekly blow-outs and quarterly hair-cuts. Denise is amazing! She's so talented, so kind and a GREAT listener and adviser to what you explain you want out of your hair! She is quick, yet never rushing and seems so always give that "extra little something special" to make the end product "flawless!" I've never had my color done by her, only cuts and styling- (I'm a loyal client of Kim Vo at B2V- AMAZING!!) I am so thankful to have found Denise and not have to wait months w/ a shaggy outgrown head of hair just to get back to Bumble & Bumble in NYC for my much preferred straight edge razor cuts... Denise is incredible! Also, I once needed "emergency hair extensions" (HaHa! sounds ridiculous right?! my hubby couldn't stop laughing at that "crisis") I needed for a last minute red carpet we just realized was this coming Saturday NOT next as I had mistakenly thought!Riana and Nikki saved the day! After I gave Nikki my colors and length info. over the telephone (I've been in the industry awhile and know my "usual" extensions info. by heart) she had everything ordered and overnighted from Great Lengths! And the best part- they took half the time as usual since they worked on me together cutting the time in their chair in HALF! I'm sure that anyone who has had fusion hair can relate to the "never-ending" feeling whilst sitting for hours and hours during the bonding process! :) Denise, Riana & Nikki are AMAZING and in my humble opinion very fair priced for their exceptional caliber of work they always do, especially for Beverly Hills prices! :) read more

"Meh, I've experienced better" pretty much sums it up. I will start off with what I did like. I really liked my stylist, she was really nice and was very professional with me. I went in for a blow-out because I wanted to indulge myself that day. The blow-out and style was nothing to rave about. She did a good job but considering how much I was spending I was perhaps expecting a little bit more. I also was surprised that my stylist did not have a snobby attitude but I cannot say the same for the receptionist. He was dismissive and rude. Great looking salon, but not worth the price. read more

You remember the best haircut (and color) you've ever had? Well, that's Haley's speciality.
