I was very disappointed with my haircut at Heretic. I went in wanting a clean, polished short bob,…read moreand unfortunately the finished cut was not what I asked for. The back was visibly uneven, the shape was inconsistent from one side to the other, and once I got home and was able to really look at it, I could see how poorly the cut had been executed. I paid $120 plus tip, so I expected a professional haircut and a much better result. I contacted my stylist, Michael, afterward and asked for a refund because I did not feel comfortable having him cut it again. I did not receive a response to my refund request. I'm attaching photos because they show the haircut better than I can describe it. I'm very disappointed both with the service and with how my concern was handled afterward.

Plus she's fun to chat with and always professional and caring. She's the real deal and I recommend her to everyone. She cuts my husbands hair too and has taught him to use product and keep it longer. Her prices are more than fair and the salon is calm and beautiful. What's not to love?! She goes above and beyond and is a delight.

I had a poor experience with Meg earlier in the year when I went in for a haircut and highlights. I…read morehad liked my previous experiences with her and had sent her new clients, but will no longer be recommending her after my last visit as I found her communication and business practices to be quite shoddy. I confirmed the price with her ahead of our appointment and once again during our consultation. I had also received a discount code from her that she said she would apply to the visit. Midway through our appointment while we were making small talk she abruptly informed me that she would be charging me more than what she herself had confirmed during the consultation. It came out of nowhere and was very disorienting. When I reminded her of the discount, she made something up on the spot about how the new higher price still reflected the discount. It was super shady and vague and I felt extremely uncomfortable. I could not leave because my head was wrapped in foil and bleach when she chose to announce this change. The color also did not come out the way we had discussed and she pretty much rushed me out of the chair while we were still within our appointment window and kept making passive aggressive jabs about how she had other clients coming in and how she should charge me even more. It's clear that she was disorganized and had not planned her schedule well and was taking that urgency out on her clients. I found the experience to be unprofessional and baffling and will not be returning.

I'm post-partum, post-divorce, and in need of a serious glow-up to start feeling like myself again…read more It's finally becoming a hot topic to discuss what pregnancy does to the body, which is a nightmare in itself that I still can't bring myself to embrace, but one thing we still aren't talking enough about is HAIR. My beautiful, luscious wavy locks were completely transformed by two rapid-fire pregnancies. Now coarse, dry and with sections growing in grey, it's like I don't even recognize myself! Caught in the middle of a "season" of not being ready to date, but not wanting to avoid mirrors anymore, I called up Ministry Salon. Suspicious of both the friendly tone of the person on the other line, the easy availability to book an appointment, and the convenient location, I was pretty nervous walking into the first appointment. I've been burned before. Somewhere along the way, I've been programmed to think scarcity of availability for salons means they're better quality, since the appointments are seemingly more in demand. Thankfully, my nerves were quickly quelled. Emily was so kind, personable, and NORMAL. She didn't make me feel uncomfortable, the salon was welcoming and the color service? Phenomenal. There's a moment during a foil color treatment where you have no idea what you're going to look like in 10 minutes. Not a clue. It's a kind of stress and anxiety that's hard to explain unless you've already personally experienced the bowl rinse out after a color treatment. Wondering, have I just made a terrible mistake? This is my new spot. The foil came off, the rinse completed, and after the blow dry I looked in the mirror and couldn't believe it. I looked..like...myself! The self I remembered from before kids! It's been a month since the color treatment and it's growing out SO WELL that you'd never know what a disaster I was before the appointment. Thank you Emily!

(Bonus, next door to a great little coffee shop with fresh pastries and excellent espresso.) First, I booked myself with Rachel Galati, who is so skilled (and highly educated), creative, and also lovely to hang out & chat with during your appointment. She gives the BEST short, cool, alty hair and is a glorious old-Hollywood glam/gothic fae scissor wizard! Today I brought my 11 y/o daughter in when she decided it was time for a fresh new look - she just started middle school and made a decisive change. It could not be more flattering and was exactly what she wanted. Rachel was so excited to support this transformation and had great rapport with my kiddo. 12/10, no notes, highly recommend, and THANK YOU!

I asked a lot of questions about layers, styling, washing frequency, hair health, and he patiently answered every one of them. It's obvious that he genuinely enjoys what he does and has a great understanding of hair. He was confident with his techniques, professional, and very kind throughout the appointment. Most importantly, he fixed the face-framing pieces I had been unhappy with and gave me a haircut that feels much more flattering and intentional. I left feeling educated, listened to, and happy with the result. I would definitely return.

I found this place through Yelp and was a bit hesitant since I hadn't dyed my hair in a while, but…read moreI decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, I left very disappointed. I paid $620 total (including a 15% tip, $540 before tip) for a balayage and haircut, which felt extremely high--especially considering the haircut alone was only $80. During the appointment, the experience itself was uncomfortable. Chemicals were dripping onto my face, leaving stains on my forehead, and when my hair was washed, the water was cold and splashed everywhere. A few days later, after washing and styling my hair the way I normally do, I noticed how off the balayage looked. My roots already appeared very grown out--almost halfway down my head. I understand balayage is meant to grow out naturally, but this looked like it had been done months ago when it had only been a week. Even my family commented that it looked grown out. I called the salon to see if they could fix the top portion, and I was told my stylist, Angel, would call me back--but I never heard from her. Overall, I'm really disappointed. Not only was the service expensive, but the results didn't meet expectations, and there was no follow-up or effort to make it right.

Nadirah is the best!…read more I've been going to her for several years now, and I can honestly say this is the best my hair has ever looked. She's incredibly skilled at doing blonde color. She always makes it look stunning and natural. It has great dimension, it's so shiny, plus she keeps it soft and healthy! Not only is Nadirah amazing with color, but she's also really skilled with cuts. I constantly get compliments on my hair. On top of that, Nadiah is really fun to talk to. The salon itself has a great vibe. You always feel welcome and comfortable the second you walk in. Everyone there is friendly and professional. Nadirah is truly a specialist. She was even hired in the past to travel the world teaching other stylists advanced techniques. But now I'm glad she's here in LA! Her expertise with both cuts and color are on another level. I can't say enough good things. I'm a perfectionist, and I tried for so many years to find a stylist I liked before I found Nadirah. If you're looking for someone who's exceptionally skilled, talented, kind, and will make your hair look incredible, Nadirah is the one!

He recently joined The Blondery crew a few months ago, and I'm genuinely so proud of him and everything he continues to accomplish!

I'm currently blonde and I am OBSESSED with how my hair looks! He really takes his time perfecting your hair, and his pricing absolutely reflects the amount of time, care, knowledge, and work he puts into every appointment. Felipe is also incredibly easy to work with and talk to. He always has such a positive attitude, keeps his work station clean, and is always on time. He's not only talented behind the chair, but he's also a great teacher when it comes to hair he explains things, gives great advice, and genuinely knows his craft. And his BLOWOUTS?! I'm obsessed every single time! I always leave his chair feeling beautiful, confident, and so happy with my hair.

He won't do something just because you're willing to pay for it. Instead, he'll offer thoughtful suggestions and guide you toward the best outcome, which I really appreciate. On top of his talent, Phillip is kind, funny, and makes every appointment enjoyable. His work speaks for itself and reflects both his years of experience and his artistic eye. I've recommended him to so many friends and family members over the years, and every single one of them has become a repeat client. I can't recommend Phillip highly enough.

They offer all type of services from cut, to color, to blow dry, shampoo wash, perm, and other services.. Since I was next door having breakfast, I needed a good shampoo from one of their hairstylists. I walked in to see how much they will charge me to just shampoo and air dry my hair and Juliet told me $38.00. Sounded crazy and ridiculously overpriced. For that amount I can get a cut, shampoo, and blow dry somewhere else. The vibe was chill and had nice overhead music playing. For the sake of good old times and great services that they have offered, I will stick to my 5 star review. They have several different locations. This time this Fantastic Hair Salon didn't make the mark. Gender Neutral restroom and parking is shared with multiple businesses. Look for the Iconic Trader Joes!
