Initially, I was uncomfortable thinking about leaving a review. But after giving it some thought, I didn't want anyone to have the same feeling as iIm deeply disappointed as a loyal customer of Marcela for 2-3 years. I came to this stylist with a reference photo showing soft, blended highlights throughout the hair. While the color she did was beautiful and I initially thanked her, after washing and styling my hair at home, I noticed the highlights were chunky, mostly concentrated at the top and sides, with no color toward the bottom or underneath. This made the result look unfinished, especially when I wore my hair up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I reached out kindly to express this, and asked if a few more blended highlights could be added to create a more complete and balanced look. Instead of being met with flexibility, I was told it would cost an additional $95 -- on top of the $260 l had already paid.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I explained that I wasn't asking for a whole new look, just a small correction to better match the original vision. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unfortunately, the stylist ultimately chose to end the conversation and the professional relationship rather than work toward a solution.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She initially stated it was talked about in the consultation which she explained what would be done, but she was also aware that the vision I wanted included FULL blended highlights. What I received was PARTIAL highlights with no lightened areas below my crown or around the bottom half of my head. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I truly wish this had been handled differently. I appreciate the parts of the work such as the haircut but I left the experience feeling unheard and disappointed -- both in the final result and in how my feedback was received.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It seems like she took the feedback in a personal matter, instead of professionally. I kindly asked for a partial refund as now I have to find another hairstylist to fix my hair, and was met with no response. I attached photos of my hair, the inspiration & the responses. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]So happy to have met Fabiola. Not only is she so friendly and awesome to talk to, she's a talented hairdresser and I really enjoyed my appointment with her.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even before getting to the chair, over text I could sense her easy going nature. She was so understanding when I needed to reschedule and she just has a pleasant vibe that made me look forward to my appointment even more.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She is very attentive to your hair needs and takes her time with you to ensure you are happy and getting exactly what you're looking for. We did a conditioning treatment that my hair so badly needed and the products she used were helpful because I noticed a difference immediately. She also shares tips for hair care and she knew I did not want to take off too much length and patiently ensured we did just that. I also loved how she blow dried my hair because my natural part is down the middle which I always change and she did a technique while blowdrying that allowed the hair to flip to either side and it created so much volume - loved that! I'm very happy with my haircut, my experience and the price. If you're getting a Groupon, her phone number is listed on it and you can coordinate with her directly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fabiola was so fun to spend time with during my appointment, she'll make you feel comfortable and entertained. She has a great sense of humor and also ensures you are relaxed and feeling pampered.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She's definitely in the right field of work. She worked in Beverly Hills before moving to this location and rents her chair from this salon. I highly recommend her for numerous reasons. You will not be disappointed. read more

They had very good service, Marcela left my hair looking and feeling amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was chill and very easy to talk to.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I brought my daughter here to have a haircut like a week ago, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]I can't say enough how professional Fabiola was since we came in. She treated us like royalty![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I recommend this place to anyone! Park is right in front, no need to worry about feeding meters while getting service! It was definitely a top notch Custumer service Salon and I will not hesitate to go back to get my hair done. I recommend this place to anyone! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Make sure you call in advance to set up an appointment, since she gets really busy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank YOU, Fabiola! Can't wait to go back to get my hair done with you! read more

I purchased a Groupon that clearly stated it included a haircut, highlights, or color. The contact number for appointments was (424) 603-1916. I left a message, and when she called back, she started asking peculiar questions, seemingly to increase the price. She succeeded and texted me, saying I had to pay an additional $175 for "extra work" because I'm blonde and wanted my hair lighter towards the roots. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She called me "illiterate in hair" because I didn't understand the difference between color and highlights.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was confused about why being blonde and wanting lighter roots required more work, especially since all three services were listed on the Groupon. It became clear to me that she was being greedy and using Groupon to lure in clients, then upselling them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She had issues with others before, which explains her strange phone call and attempts to manipulate the situation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I was looking to get a balayage done, as my hair needed some love. My friend referred me to Marcela. I'm always skeptical about referrals and going to someone new. This is one decision I'm happy to make. She was so attentive and even fixed my hair as the previous person I was seeing didn't cut my hair right. I enjoyed my time with her. We had a good laugh and great convo. She definitely is the sweetest and walked out feeling like a new person. I have found my new go to gal! See Marcela!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Fabi was wonderful ! I really recommend her, I went twice and I always left happy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She is professional and know how to make your perfect haircut! Thank you very much !! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for an expert that cares about how your hair turns out, fabby is amazing !!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] don't miss out on this gem :) read more

I was absolutely blown away when I walked into La Panache for the first time late last fall. I'll never forget seeing Teresa fixing things, because I was stunned to learn from my stylist, Lee, that I was watching the boss doing whatever it took to keep things going. It wasn't just that though, because there was also the haircut. It was a great first impression! Lee's been doing my hair on and off for the past 25 years, and when I heard she was moving over here, I didn't hesitate to follow. The first haircut in a new place was special. She brought me there, but it's the above and beyond, the maximum effort, that will keep me coming back. read more

We live in Florida now, and I sure wish Teresa was here to do my hair. The price was great, the shampoo was wonderful, and she gave me a great neck massage. I hope she's doing well in Los Angeles because she is very much missed. read more

Just had my first post-COVID lockdown hair cut and who knew such a simple thing could do so much for one's soul. Teresa is working hard to comply with all the COVID sanitation and social distancing rules. Do call for an appointment. Splurged and got some very subtle highlights in my grey. Teresa so exceeded my hopes. I feel so much better about life. The cut is lovely (she really had to do some work because I tried to cut it myself a month a go and made a real mess of it.). The highlights are very discrete - just exactly what I'd hoped for. You can see the before and after below. Competively priced, free, convenient parking. read more

I had been to other higher end salons, paid more, and always felt underwhelmed with my haircut when leaving the salon. I am sure many of you ladies out there know what I mean. Today at La Panache, Teresa just gave me the most satisfying haircut of my life. I have had long hair forever and wanted a complete new look because of a major breakup. I placed my trust in Teresa, and she worked her magic. She is so skilful, meticulous, and attentive. I love my new look. Even now coming back home after shampooing myself, and without any blowout. It still looks amazing. Thank you Teresa, you've made my day. read more

excellent hair care and shaping. [[HIGHLIGHT]]very pleasant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] nice facility and workers. will go back for care.

La Panache means in French to have style and flair. A perfect name for this hair salon! This salon has flexibility. It's location is in a strip mall next to Ralph's. Don't let it's modest spot deter you from visiting. The stylists can cut all types of hair, cater to all levels of service from basic to grand pampering--making its French name apropos. La Panache is where I go for my haircut and threading. I have followed Marcela, my stylist of choice, from three different salons, and La Panache is by far my favorite. Marcela is worth following! 1. I have found no one that comes close to the level of talent that she has in cutting hair. Marcela expertly cuts thick hair. 2. She has found a perfect style that complements my face and my personality. 3. The haircut grows out beautifully. A sign of a good haircut! 4. She loves what she does and it shows in her work. 5. She cares about her clients--compassionate, honest, and always places my interests first. Whenever I show up for my appointment it feels as if all the stylists enjoy being there. I recently moved up north and was visiting Los Angeles. I came in to see Marcela. When I arrived, I saw that the owner Teresa was doing Marcela's hair. Glad to see that the professionals go to the same place that I go to for their haircuts! That is a confidence builder! When you go in for a visit, you will be surprised at how fair the prices are...so please show your appreciation and tip heartily! Now, it is essential...I must visit So Cal regularly just so I can get my haircut by Marcela! Je vous en prie La Panache! read more

The salon has changed hands and is now owned by our stylist Teresa. We followed her over from another salon in the area and she is, by far, one of the best hairdressers I've had. She takes her time, and gives a great shampoo, as well as a wonderful head and neck massage. She even incorporates a bit of acupressure, which really is quite relaxing. Her prices are reasonable, and she's very personable. read more

I'm very happy I stumbled across La Panache Hair Salon a year ago where I met Lupe de la Vega. She's been a great hairdresser! I love the way she cuts, colors and styles my hair, and I love her warm, friendly personality. I highly recommend her. If you're interested in excellent service, call Lupe at 310-384-2585 for an appointment. You'll be glad you did! read more

I decided to try this salon since it is closer to home and relatively easy to find a parking. The stylist is friendly and did a good job with my first cut with her. When I tried to call the salon the second time, the business phone will just ring and then went silence. However, I was able to get an appointment when I went to the salon and they told me the phone has issues. I hope they will fix this problem as I will not try to go down in person for getting an appointment. The second hair cut is satisfactory. read more

Teresa did a wonderful job cutting my super-long, hard-to-manage hair! I asked for a trim of about two inches and no layers. She did so and I was out of the shop in under 30 min. Her prices are very reasonable and she will give you the cut and style you like. I found her as a woman at my gym had a great precision hair cut and I asked her who had cut it. Teresa is the answer and she is the owner at La Panache. read more

Walked in for a haircut today with no appointment I was in and out in less than an hour. Thanks Marcela for the great cut!

I think this place might be decent if you're a woman, but wouldn't recommend it if you're a man. Something as simple as a "low fade" was lost on them and I ended up looking like a radish head for 2 weeks. read more

I am thrilled with Teresa and her ability to give a great haircut. Because of her skill in cutting hair, I am able to wear my hair wet or blown dry when leaving her salon and it looks terrific either way. Her prices are quite reasonable for the professional work that she offers. I would highly recommend Teresa. Plus, she is very pleasant! read more

I've been going to Theresa for a couple of years now. Very pleasant lady. My cuts are always well done and shampoos are the best! She uses safe covid practices too! read more

This salon is really a single location for multiple stylists each with their own businesses and followers. I can't comment on anyone other than Teresa (323-206-7553) who I followed from another salon. If you are looking for a great stylist for a really good price you need to go to Teresa. She does an excellent cut, great shampoo, and follows with a really nice head/neck massage. Also, she has a Square that lets her accept credit cards! read more

Incredibly well priced, no-frills salon. Walking distance from my home! I had my cut and colored today by Hillary, she did a wonderful job. Walked in with dull, boring hair walked out with fun color and haircut. Thank you Hillary! read more

go see Teresa! I've been going to her with my mom for years now! She's really good with all textures of hair and really takes her time. She gives like a 5 minute head massage that literally puts you to sleep. The shop is clean and the surrounding stylist are just as nice. read more

Teresa is the best! I went in today with a headache and looking very frowsy. By the time I left the headache was gone, I had a cute, pert hairstyle, and a good 10 years had been knocked off my age! Teresa is exceptional and I am thrilled to have her as my stylist. read more

I came in and saw Teresa and she gave me a lovely layered hair cut. She took off a little more than I wanted to but after I saw the end result I was in love. This is a small salon, I didn't have to wait at all, I just walked in. She started with a shampoo, and then the cut and just blow dried my bangs. For $35, I am satisfied with the quality of service I received. It was simple, easy and I was in and out in about 30 minutes with a fresh style. read more

This was my first visit with Lupe. I was having an emergency with my dog and only had two hours. Lupe washed, colored, washed, highlightened, washed and cut my hair. It was the best color and cut have had in years. She knew exactly what I wanted with my verbal description. I am so sad that I found her just before I am relocating to New Mexico. Lupe was friendly and very skilled. Thank you Lupe. My dog is OK read more

I had my hair done at La Panache, Shamsi was my hair stylist. She did a fabulous job. I have very thick and long hair that is hard to manage and she did a great job coloring and cutting my hair. read more

REALLY bad PR. I was parked in front, waiting for a friend, I thought it looked cute and close, so I called to ask about prices/services...and called...and called. I could hear the phone ringing through the open door and my window. I saw someone being worked on jus inside the door. I saw a few people walking around in the back. Yet they wouldn't even pick up the dang phone...really? Thank gawed there are so many other choices. read more

I've been in Los Angeles for almost a year and have been desperately searching for a hair stylist to call my own. I looked up La Panache on Yelp, and, although it didn't have many recent reviews, the ones it did have were solid and it looked like an affordable place. So I went. I called on a Friday afternoon and spoke with the owner, Farida (I hope I'm spelling it right, it sounds like fair-ree-da), and she was able to give me an appointment right after work. The salon is definitely minimal, but it's not offsetting unless salon atmosphere is a big deal to you. I got there a little late and waited maybe 10 minutes before she was ready for me, and we spent only a short time discussing my hair cut because I had brought her a picture and there wasn't need for an elaborate description. The whole wash, cut and style was pleasant; we had some good conversation in which I learned Farida had come to the States to attend beauty school for the purpose of opening her own beauty school. She didn't end up opening the school after all, but she received extensive training in preparation for it. Like most ladies I watched her work and got nervous at times hoping she hadn't misunderstood what I wanted, and when I commented on how I wanted the back done a certain way she said to me, "Don't worry, I'm a good cutter, you're going to like it." And she was right. She IS a good cutter and I did like it. The wash, cut and style was $50, which I felt was more than reasonable given the years of experience behind her scissors and her attentions to detail. All around it was a good hair cutting experience. read more

My hair was destroyed a little over a year ago due to hair extensions. My hair dressers kept moving or leaving town or raising prices. I was lucky enough to find Kim. We have been working on getting my hair healthy and long again. I've only been going to Kim for 6 months now and my hair is looking 100 times better. She is a perfectionist. She takes her time to get it right and uses good products on your hair. The location itself is not fancy at all, and Kim doesn't fit in, but she certainly stands out in this crowd. The best part is she is so affordable compared to all the Beverly Hill salons I used to go to. I would definitely recommend her! read more

I agree with the two reviews below. Kimberly Tucker has saved my hair! it was blue at one point and damaged by a different hair dresser, then i went to see Kim and she has made my hair color look natural and restored my hair to have a healthy glow. She cares greatly about making your hair healthy and always gives an amazing haircut.She truly has an eye for it. I recently got my hair cut by Kim and its at the point where all i have to do is wash my hair in the morning and leave. no need to style it. I highly recommend this place and Kim. I have been going to Kim for over a year now and am always a very satisfied customer. :) read more
