I just had a great experience at Mimi Salon in Culver City. The space is super clean and…read moreprofessional, but it was Shu who really made the visit. He's incredibly zen and gave some really honest, insightful advice on what my hair actually needed. What impressed me most was that he did the entire cut with scissors--most places I go just rely on clippers, so seeing that level of talent and craftsmanship was awesome. I love the result and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend Shu if you're looking for someone who actually knows what they're doing. He's a skilled craftsman. Ps. I got a men's haircut

I was searching for a new hair salon and found Mimi Hair with good reviews nearby. I went on their…read morewebsite and requested a haircut appointment for 4/2/26. I was matched with Sheila. I work full-time and had scheduled the appointment at 11:30 AM specifically due to my work schedule. I arrived about five minutes early for my appointment and another stylist checked me in saying my stylist would be with me soon. Other than this one stylist and her client, the salon was empty. At 11:29, I got a text from Sheila saying she was running 10 minutes late. Unfortunately for me, Sheila arrived 17 minutes late for my scheduled appointment. Tardiness aside, the overall haircut experience was average. Neither Sheila nor I spoke much during the appointment. I had a 12:45 lunch meeting with my boss, was stressed about being late, and I felt trapped. There weren't any extra frills like a nice scalp massage during the wash - I'm sure Sheila was trying to get me done as quickly as possible. I did choose to give two stars instead of one because I felt the haircut itself was adequate. No fault of the stylist's, but I found Mimi Hair's wash sinks to be extremely uncomfortable on my neck! I remember old salons when I was a kid that had old sinks and chairs that put a lot of pressure on your neck. The other three LA salons I've been to have modern sinks and chairs, but Mimi Hair must have something older...my neck was killing me! Obviously, I was hugely inconvenienced and my experience was soured. Sheila did not offer an explanation for why she was so late or acknowledge the bad impression. I had to explain to my boss that my hairstylist was almost 20 min late! Sheila charged me $90 for the haircut, and I did still leave a small tip. I guess I'll keep looking for a new salon... PS: I forgot to mention there was a dog walking around the salon. The dog didn't make any noise but it's just not right for me.

Had updated my review but i got a notification my review was removed. Quite interesting either way…read morethe amount of work to go through to remove an honest review. As a customer walking into a business i rely on reviews to know what a place is like. Yes the owner is not friendly. Yes no one greets you at the door. Yes the paring is actually quite awful but yes there's parking up front at the meters. Yes I was there while a leak was happening right behind my head on top of my stylist during a color. Yes i was dissatisfied at the salons quality not the stylist. Especially when you're not offered to be moved to another chair. Had you gone above and beyond for that as an owner this review wouldn't be this. Just some food for thought. Be transparent. And fix your roof. Oh and my stylist name is Jamie. She's reachable at 626-215-9301. For anyone looking for her, yes she left. I couldn't see why she'd want to stay here either.

The Compound Salon is my favorite salon I've ever been a patron of - and I've been getting my hair…read morecolored professionally for over 15 years. The salon is clean, bright, airy, comfortable, and has a laid-back vibe. The music is always great, the staff is extremely friendly, and there are refreshments available. The restrooms are clean and in great condition. I love the plants throughout the salon and the personal touches such as the neon "Be Excellent to Each Other" sign. My hairstylist, Dina, gives me the best cut and color of my life. Every time I leave I know that my hair looks the best it can, and my color is gorgeous. My color also consistently fades out in a way that looks intentional between coloring, and remains vibrant for many weeks. I've never been happier with my hair. I've also seen other stylists for blowouts between visits and every stylist has been great. Karla cut my niece's hair and was wonderful with her. You can book online, and you can text with the receptionist if you have to change your appointment which is great. The only downside is that there's no dedicated parking, which isn't their fault and I've never had a problem. Just be careful if you go on a street sweeping day.

I had spent a couple years, trying to get my curl pattern back and revive the health of my hair with only a little bit of luck. I decided to seek out a new stylist and found Jillian. After one cut with Jillian, my curls looked completely different. They were brought back to life. Looked healthy. Had bounce and shape that I thought I had lost for good. I'm so grateful for finding Jillian. She is kind and hilarious and makes sure that she fully understand what you are trying to achieve. She works her magic and makes you feel beautiful when you leave her chair. I'm going to continue to let Jillian care for my curls. I highly recommend Jillian and the Compound. You will be in the best hands.

They have Beverly Hills prices sans the atmosphere. Most services are a la carte. What irks me…read morethe most is paying close to $700 for color and that does not include a blow dry. Also don't like that trainees are coloring my hair with minimal supervision (and you still pay the high price). Most recent color was awful and it's not easily remedied. Have decided to return to my Beverly Hills stylist. If I'm going to pay a high price, at least I know I'm getting 100% of the stylist's attention I paid for (including blow dry) and not someone with training wheels coloring my hair.

I asked Chika just for a 1-inch trim. She asked if I like my hair to be fuller. It seems like such a small detail, but it's not insignificant and I think she is the only person that ever has asked me that. She asked a couple of other questions as she was cutting my hair. She kept the thickness and length as requested, and angled the front to give it shape. Chika works out of the Hive Beauty Collective in Culver City. The location is bustling. They have free parking available in the back of the building. You can schedule an appointment by texting the phone number listed in the About the Business section on this Yelp page.

After I sent the picture, she opened my message but never replied. Sharing photos of my hair is something I'm very self-conscious about, so being ignored after sending them made me feel embarrassed and hurt. I had previously gone to Rebel years ago because my mom highly recommended the salon and knew him well, which is why I felt comfortable reaching out. Unfortunately, being completely ghosted after providing the requested information felt very unprofessional. Even if she was unable to take me as a client or felt my hair needs were outside of her expertise, a simple response would have been appreciated. Based on my experience, I would not recommend sharing personal hair photos with her.
