Ok, it's pretty embarrassing to even share the before shot, but it definitely helps tell the story here... I have been sporting the same long (longer, longest) hairstyle for too many years. Well, it was time to *finally* make a change and the result is more than I had even imagined or hoped for! Thank you Kyle for nailing it! I feel younger, hipper, lighter, fresher! ‍ read more

Kyle Mathis - After!!! - Hair Stylists Near Me

See all

Kyle Mathis is literally the only person I let color or cut my hair. This is for many reasons; first, Kyle is amazing at making my hair look natural while covering the grey and the lackluster appearance of my hair as it ages. Also, I love the fact that Kyle is not a "yes ma'am" kind of stylist. What I mean is; while Kyle can literally accomplish anything when it comes to hair, he will stop and have a real conversation with you about whether or not what you are asking for will fit into your lifestyle. How often do you want to come to the salon? Do you style your hair everyday? These are a couple of the important questions Kyle asks to help you find what will not only make your hair look beautiful on the day you leave his salon, but every day until you return. At the end of the day, he will give you exactly what you want, but he likes you to know what the care and the maintenance are for the style and/or color you've picked. Kyle Mathis has done my hair for years and kept it healthy and beautiful. Recently, I was in a wedding and had to have my hair professionally styled. Before I left I had my hair cut and colored by Kyle. At the wedding, it was the first time in a long time other people had handled my hair. Everyone who touched my hair that day commented on how beautiful my hair was. They talked about how amazing my color was and how healthy and natural my golden blonde hair was. It didn't stop there. At the wedding I received SO many compliments on my hair and how amazing it looked. I am definitely a little vain when it comes to my hair (I am a leo, after all) but I was super proud of my hair that day and felt like a million bucks.... Thank you, again and again, Kyle Mathis for helping all the beauty I have on the inside come and hangout on my head :) read more

Kyle Mathis - Hair Stylists Near Me

Loved the vibe at the studio. Got my hair color by Kyle and as a brunette I always have to tone my hair when I get home because it always turns reddish. Kyle really understands brunettes and cooled it down and gave me the subtle sunkissed lights I wanted and always ask for. I couldn't be happier. My new hair color studio. Thank you! read more

I met Kyle, loved his haircut, and found out he was a hair stylist. 2 years later he's still my guy Perfect for Rockstar or the biz suit (I flip between both) read more

Over the years, I had gone through a number of hairstylists in Los Angeles and had very little luck finding someone who was capable of giving me the haircut I really wanted... That is, until I met Kyle! Expressing my hair needs with him is an effortless affair. He just gets it. Also, being Asian, my hair is super straight and coarse, so it is a godsend to have someone understand how to cut it properly. I can feel confident knowing that every time I step into the salon, I'll be stepping out with the hairstyle I love. I would highly recommend Kyle to anyone looking to get the rock star treatment from an awesome and attentive hair stylist! \m/ read more

When I moved and became a true "California girl" 3 years ago, I needed to find the right laid back cool salon/stylist to match. Well, I didn't have to look far because Kyle Mathis salon and the man himself live up to all the great reviews and more. I have naturally curly hair and have had the unfortunate past experience of hair trauma by another salon (hack job). What I love about Kyle is his vision. He can look at your hair and see what you don't see. The finished, beautiful, amazing hair that really puts a pep in your step. I never thought I could have an actual "look" or "style" but Kyle really understands and makes your cut/style unique to fit your personality. He is also very honest when you have ideas or ask his opinion, which is really appreciated. He just knows his "sh*t" that well and will tell you honesty if it will look good or not. And he's never been wrong. Plus he's a really nice person and very positive, along with the lovely salon space he has created. Kyle is also open minded and enthusiastic when you want to change things up. I've had dark blonde, light blonde, ombré, cut shorter, etc. He's the only person I've let cut my hair a significant amount in 20 years. Yes, I trust him that much. And trust me that if you want your hair to look the best, go to Kyle Mathis because he's the best. read more

Kyle Mathis - In front of the salon, wind blown new hair - Hair Stylists Near Me

I went to Kyle on a last second blonde hair venture (which can always be nerve-wracking), however I am so happy to have come across Kyle's website on Yelp with a 5 star rating that can't be argued with. I went in with heavy roots and Kyle worked magic on my hair adding highlights to help lift the yellow (as I prefer platinum) without using heavy bleach that would damage my hair. We even watched Parrot video's jamming out to slayer, so it was an overall fantastic experience. Kyle listened to what I wanted the outcome of my hair to be and exerted perfection. read more

The best hair stylist in west LA . extremely precise and listens to what you want. Genius colorist. Great with curly hair , red heads , blondes , brunettes you name it . Amazing with extensions. All around amazing stylist. read more

I have been going to Kyle for years and this review is long overdue. After coloring my hair black with cheap drugstore color (which is very hard to get out), Kyle made me a perfect honey blonde! I would not go to anyone else for coloring. Every time I leave his salon, I feel like a million bucks. Highly recommended for haircuts too! read more

First off, let me tell you a little bit about myself and my hair. I've basically rocked the same look since I was 15- long, straight layers. I've messed around with bangs a few times (post break up, obviously) and used to dye it in high school. The extent of my styling is either air drying or blow drying half way. I'll curl or straighten on special occasions. Basically, I'm pretty low maintenance with my hair. I had been considering highlights for a while now but was always afraid I would walk out looking like a zebra with tacky bleached chunks in my dark hair. I had heard great things about Fringe and when I came across a Bloomspot deal, I took the plunge. I booked an appointment for a Friday morning (yes I took time off work to get my hair done) with ease. When I walked in, the studio was stylish and the staff was friendly. Lo-and-behold, I got Kyle Mathis himself to work on my hair. We had a detailed conversation about my hair's current state and how I hoped it would turn out with highlights. Maybe it's because he's a trained professional or maybe it's because we're kindred spirits, but he just got me (I'd like to think the latter). I asked for subtle warm highlights and got just that! It being my first time, he walked me through each step of the process from bleaching, to washing/conditioning, to drying, to coloring, to cut and style. When he was done working his magic I felt like I was a live action Pantene commercial. I walked around looking in any and all reflective surfaces. I had no idea my hair could look so good! I HIGHLY recommend Kyle Mathis at Fringe and will definitely be returning for all my hair styling needs! read more

I was originally referred to Kyle by a friend! And I could not be happier with my hair! He was very honest with what was best for my hair integrity with my goal of being platinum! I trusted him and now over a year later I'm still a happy blonde client!!! I wouldn't trust my hair to anyone else! read more

Kyle is a true professional! His extensions are so perfect that I have to show people I have them! People don't believe that there are extensions in my hair. I always was Self-conscious about my hair until I met Kyle five years ago I have never been happier! read more

Super overdue Yelp review...but I LOVE the way Kyle colored my hair! I've never done an ombré before but was so glad I went to Kyle - he colored it exactly the way I envisioned and didn't go too light. I didn't want a cut this time, but am definitely going in next time for a touch up & trim. read more

Kyle Mathis - Ombré by Kyle - Hair Stylists Near Me

Kyle is the best! The salon is very clean and has a great location . Everyone is very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable, which can be hard in salon environment. I got full highlights, a cut, and a Brazilian blow out ... He told me to trust him with what he thought I should do with my hair and I did ! It turned out great. I am so picky and I am in the beauty industry myself, I was very pleased and will be back soon! He has a great assistant who is totally adorable and helpful! Any time my water glass was getting empty they were already refilling it. I have been getting compliments all day on my hair :) read more

I have had Bee Bond doing my hair for over three years now & I can't say enough kind words! Ever since she started doing my roots, my hair has not broken off! I love the champagne color she created for me! She is professional, efficient, funny, consistent and funny! I told her last time that she'll be my hairdresser until I'm old and grey and need my blue rinse! read more

Love this place. I've been twice now. Hoping prices stay consistent.

Absolutely amazing hair stylist. Has done my hair for years and every time it comes out looking fantastic!! Kyle is Very talented!!

Kyle is an excellent colorist. He effortlessly and patiently fixed my poor decision to DIY. He blended my orange mess into beautiful blonde highlights without any brassy tone or further damage. Kyle's salon is welcoming and comfortable. Talented and knowledgeable, you can relax and trust Kyle to work his magic. read more

Last weekend I went in for a cut and highlights by Kyle Mathis himself. I could walk there (on Main in Santa Monica), which I really liked. Having never gotten highlights before, Kyle thought it would be best to keep the color subtle, as he could see how nervous I was. He is brilliant! My hair looks amazing. I am so happy with the cut and color. I'm getting compliments like crazy, and while I could claim the color's natural, I proudly announce that it's the handiwork of Kyle Mathis of Fringe of Beverly Hills. read more

Though over the years I'd been to a few salons (in Beverly Hills, Venice, and Marina Del Rey), I often went to a barber because I didn't think going to hairstylist was worth it, and I like some of the barbering techniques. Though I do have to say I don't care for a lot of these retro barber shops that have popped up in the past 10 years. It's all assembly line cut-rate mediocrity at an inflated price. By chance, I ran into Bobby back when he was running his own salon on Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice and have been a client ever since. He's now at this new salon. This guy not only knows all the hair styling salon-type things, but also has a background in barbering, so you get both. The guy has technique and he cares. He wants everything to look good, so he does the attention-to-detail. This is just something you have to care about, and if you do, you do, and if you don't, you don't. Bobby cares. I also happen to like the guy personally, but who cares about that. The important thing is he's good at what he does. Here's the other thing: the guy can take a picture and make your hair look like the photo. I always used to think that this was bullsh*t, but he makes it work. And here's the genius: it's probably unrealistic to expect to walk out of a salon with a cut that looks like some idiot model, but he tailors the cut to fit your face and hair type and all that. So it's not just an imitation, but it's a organic blend of some ideal you might have and the reality of what one has to work with. He's done some cool cuts for me and I get complements. Before that, I wouldn't have spent the dough on a haircut. Also, his cuts last, so when you factor that in compared to a barber, it comes out to about the same price, but you've got a superior cut. Also, I think the guy has the coolest name for a hair stylist: Bobby Boas. That's like destined for the side of a shampoo bottle, no? F*ck Vidal Sasoon & John Paul Mitchell & Frederic Fekkai. This guy's where it's at. read more

I began my search 4 years ago to find my hair stylist and when Kyle Mathis salon put me in their hands I went in needing a make over and came out looking so good. My color my cut the condition of my hair were all on "fleek." Thank you Kyle! read more

I have been going to Kyle for years and I couldn't be happier with my hair. He has done the impossible: he made my dyed black hair turn into a very natural looking blonde. He is amazing at color and amazing at cuts. He is also a really nice guy and makes the process very enjoyable! I always enjoy getting my hair done because it gives me a chance to catch up with him. I highly recommend him! read more

Just had my hair done by Kyle for the first time. LOVE LOVE LOVE my hair color and haircut! I didn't want to go crazy with a drastic color change so Kyle just freshened up my natural color and gave me amazing layers. He asked a lot of questions about my hair and how much time I was willing to spend on styling. The result was a style that I could actually do at home myself - but still looks amazing! I've already gotten so many compliments! Thank you Kyle!!! PS- the scalp massage that I got with the shampoo/conditioner was amazing too. read more

Kyle is amazing! I had never done anything to my hair color, mostly out of fright that it would look horrible if done wrong, but Kyle made my hair turn out amazing!! I was looking up salons in the area, reading reviews, and I found the salon with great reviews. It was super easy and convenient to make an appointment - he provides you with an option to text him to set appointments. They have some really nice assistants that work there as well. I had no idea what I wanted done - just some pics to show him. He chose a color for me and he did balayage ombre with 8ab redken. I literally have received nothing but compliments. Thank you sooo much Kyle!! read more

Definitely would recommend! Find street parking, there is usually meter spaces right outside that have a 3 hour limit. Ask Kyle for his opinion when it comes to color/cut and just trust that he knows best. When I first started going to Kyle I gave him all these suggestions (I tried every hair color) but ultimately he came up with the best color for me on his own. I've been going to Kyle for about a decade and the color is always beautiful. I have the most flattering color of dark honey blonde balayage for my skin tone. It looks very natural like I've just spent the summer at the beach. He also does an amazing cut. Don't be worried if it doesn't take him very long to do the cut - that's just because he's been doing hair for long time. Also if I'm going to be spending a couple hours with someone I'd rather it be with someone with a sense of humor who doesn't take themselves too seriously.... and that's Kyle! read more

I moved to California almost 5 years ago...and have NEVER had anyone else touch my hair!! I have a "brassy blonde" phobia and Kyle has never let me walk out of the salon with orange, yellow, or brassy hair!! I happily drive an hour these days to see Kyle...I wouldn't let anyone else touch my hair. He's the only one who can give me perfect highlights and leave my hair in thick and healthy condition. I LOVE KYLE. I seriously love Kyle!! read more

Booked a blow out with Bobby and was very disappointed. After an hour my hair was barely dry, let alone styled. He was dismissive, tardy, and left me alone for over 20 minutes while he moved his car. I would have been fine with the poor treatment if I'd left with decent hair, but didn't. He struggled with a simple pin curl and seemed overwhelmed by basic tasks like sectioning. I'm sad to say I can't recommend. Wanted to. Such a good location and cute marketing. read more

Kyle is amazing! My dry and broken hair is the healthiest it's been in years! I've been going to him for 2 years now and will continue to! I had a girlfriend go to him recently as well... He fixed her color that she was unhappy with and also put in extensions! She left very happy! His salon is always a fun atmosphere with friendly staff! Bottom line he knows what he's doing! :) I highly recommend him to everyone! read more

I have been seeing Shannon for hair cuts, trims and balayage for probably 3 or more years now. When I first started seeing her I was attempting to grow my hair out after having a pixie cut for 10 years. She has done such a great job over the years. I even grew my hair out to my mid back over the course of a year out to my mid back for my wedding last year. It looked so healthy, I never thought I would be able to grow what used to be fine stringy hair. She always gives a great cut and I love the way she colors my hair. It always looks natural, which is what I like, not streaky. I have recommended her to friends and will continue to do so. read more
