I've been meaning to write a review for Lisa for the longest time because what she did to my hair was amazing! Even before cutting it she had a talk with me about my hair history. No one has ever asked me about my hair history before so you can tell how much care and thought she puts into her clients' hair. I told her about everything I'm experiencing with my hair. My hair is prone to breakage and gets damaged really easily. Lisa offered some suggestions about how I should be taking care of my hair, and recommended a shampoo and conditioner based on the information I gave to her and her thoughts on my hair after working on it. It's been 2 months and my hair still feels really healthy! This is the longest it has felt healthy, and some days it still feels like it was just cut. For the longest time I've been getting my hair cut and was always satisfied, but when Lisa cut it it was the first time in a long time where I actually LOVED it. I would highly recommend her, and I will definitely be going back! read more

Lisa was incredible. She spent over 2 hours with me, asking everything from my hair care regimen and routine to what I like and dislike about my hair. She really listened to every detail and wanted to make my hair exactly how I wanted. I was so impressed by her attention to detail, beautiful partial highlights she did in my hair, and how down-to-earth she was. I still get compliments on my hair all the time- all the credit goes to Lisa! She's as good as it gets. I'm so glad I found my go-to hairdresser in LA. read more

I love Lisa! I have been going to Lisa for almost 13 years and still continue to have her do my hair even though I moved to the Bay Area 9 years ago. Lisa does amazing color and listens to her customers wishes and makes you feel like a model. I wish I could share the before and after photos so you can see the difference an afternoon at her salon will make! read more

If ever you need a haircut, Lisa Shapiro at Salon Republic is your go to woman. She takes times to understand your regime, your hair, and more importantly she listens to what YOU want. You feel confident with your tresses in her hands. She was my first ever hair cut in LA and what an experience. She gave me such an amazing haircut which received so many compliments. You can't top a Lisa Shapiro haircut. Ladies, try her, you won't regret it. Oh, and throw in her wonderful personality. You couldn't get a better haircut experience than at Lisa's. I highly recommend her. read more

Lisa is amazing! I can enter her salon with hair like a Brillo pad, and leave feeling like an ad for a hair commercial. She's very attentive - at the beginning of each appointment, we talk about what I want and how she'll achieve it. She has great advice for when I want to try something new. She's a wizard with color and can achieve whatever effect you're after (for me that means going a bit darker than my natural color for the base, and adding warm highlights). My hair even feels healthier after she colors it, with tons of shine and bounce. Her expert cuts allow me to wear my crazy thick, curly hair either natural or blown out. She's so caring and professional that I never worry when I'm in her chair since I know she'll make me look my best. And after a visit with Lisa, I always receive tons of compliments! The salon has a fun, lively atmosphere, pretty restrooms and excellent validated parking (only $5.00 for up to 4 hours). read more

After happily seeing Lisa for over twenty years myself, now my husband and four year old son have gotten amazing haircuts from Lisa as well! We have had two family haircut sessions with Lisa where we have all three gone in together and gotten our hair done one by one. Lisa is truly a Jedi Master when it comes to doing hair. She listens very carefully and communicates as she goes when necessary to make sure that she and her clients are on the same page about what she is creating for them. We could not be happier with our hair. After seeing Lisa, we all walk around admiring each other for awhile. Lol It's totally fun to see Lisa and then the fun continues afterwards too as we all revel in our great looking hair! read more

My teenage daughter and I come here from Texas twice a year. We love it! People stop us on the streets and ask us who did her hair! Lisa has lightened my daughters hair countless times and its still in pristine condition! I completely recommend her and I wouldn't go to anyone else! read more

The doctor of hair!!! After having two previous hairstylists that messed up my color and cut, Lisa came to the rescue and restored my faith in the hairstylist world!! She is AMAZING!! I trust her with my hair and I know she will do wonders with it. She also gave me tips on how to manage my hair on a daily basis from how to wash and treat it so it will be healthy again! I wish I knew Lisa way before my hair was damaged because I know I'd have beautiful hair by now! read more

Lisa is a true MASTER of her craft with a smile that lights up a room. I trust her with dramatic changes like chopping off my hair and of course for maintenance cuts/color. When I'm going for a big change I tend to bring inspiration pics. You know how some some stylists just look at the picture and start cutting? Not Lisa!! She asks me questions to find out what I like about the pictures and listens with a finely tuned ear and then uses that info along with her incredible skills and creativity to cut, color and style my hair that works for MY texture, skin tone, etc. She takes her time to get it right and I always love gabbing with her while I'm in her highly skilled hands. read more

Thank goodness I found Lisa!! I'm relatively new to LA and needed a haircut very badly. Luckily, my sorority sisters recommended Lisa. Usually I dread haircuts because sometimes my hair dressers mess it up so badly. Yes I have thick hair but how hard is layers?? I do not dread going to Lisa. I actually look forward to it!! She is so wonderful to converse with, I feel right at home in her salon. It's also so clean and smells nice and she always offers me a little chocolate. My hair has come out looking fresh, beautiful, and amazing. Lisa is also so understanding and has been flexible with me on my forms of payment, which I do appreciate! Coming back to Lisa for all my hair needs in LA read more

Lisa is just wonderful! I met her at a charity event in Hollywood. I donated 12 inch of my hair to Wigs for Kids and Lisa was the one who did the cut for me. She was so great and kind and offered me a proper hair cut because of my donation. I ended up driving all the way from Anaheim to her studio in Beverly Hills the next weekend because I knew she would do a great job. I trusted her with my hair and I am so happy with my choice. Even though I am not a "regular" paying customer, she still took her time and really tried to make my hair perfect. I've never had such short hair since elementary school and wasn't sure about how it would look when I donated, but I walked out of her studio a confident lady feeling fabulous. She is a great lady who is kind, generous, and awesome at her job. I would recommend her to anyone who's looking for a patient and wonderful hair stylist. Give her a visit, you will love her and her cute studio! read more

Getting my hair done always felt like a time suck until I started going to Lisa. Not only does she do an awesome job cutting and coloring, but she is the world's greatest therapist. Her studio is homey, always with snacks, coffee and tea. Lisa listens carefully, not only to the subtleties of what I want for my hair, but to also all the other niggling little issues of the day. I no longer dread the idea of wasting hours at the salon. Now it just feels like I'm going home for Thanksgiving! read more

I've been going to Lisa for many years and she does an outstanding job. She is talented, flexible, and a pleasure to spend an hour with.

Lisa Shapiro is an absolute gem. She has been cutting and highlighting my hair for more than a decade, and she's the best. My hair looks wonderful, natural and healthy. I've sent numerous clients to Lisa over the years, and everyone has loved her. She really listens to what you want, and even educates you about your hair--how to take care of it, how to style it, what products are best for you. On top of that, she's a lovely person. You can't beat that! read more

Best haircut I've had in years. Lisa listened to what I wanted out of my visit to her lovely salon, and proposed a few great ideas based on my comments. Then all I had to do was sit back, enjoy a soothing shampoo wash and head massage, and watch my image be taken to the next level. My haircut was everything I wanted and so much more-- she was able to take my vision and elevate it; I got what I wanted but couldn't describe. Lisa is a true pro-- plus funny, relatable, and expert at creating a relaxing environment. I ran to get my cut between meetings... when I left I felt like I had taken a trip to a spa. It's a shame far too few hair stylists like her are left in this city. read more

Lisa has done wonders for my hair! My hair suffers from breakage and she is the first stylist that has helped me determine the cause - not just offer me solutions. I was extremely impressed with how well she listened to what I wanted. She offered great insight into what she thought would look good but was still wonderful about letting me voice my opinion. I've never had a stylist care as much as Lisa did about the quality of her work. When you leave, you are just as excited as she is at a job well done! read more

Lisa is a fantastic cut and color expert! She has been doing my very curly hair for about 20 years and has helped me with different styles, including straight with the Brazilian Blowout. She is always very interested in finding out how I'm feeling about my hair and what I want to change. You never have to fear that she will impose her own opinion and give you something you didn't ask for. However, I've learned to rely on her for advice about style, color, and everything else pertaining to my hair. I've never been disappointed. Lisa is also a very nice person and will make you feel most comfortable in her salon. Little niceties such as wine and soft drinks, snacks, a warm throw in case you're cold, etc. all make a visit to Lisa a pleasure. read more

Lisa has been cutting and coloring my hair for over 25 years. I have followed her all over Los Angeles over the years and if she moves her salon, I will definitely move with her. She is that special. My two sons also get their hair cut by Lisa. Once they experienced the best, they could never go anywhere else. I am pretty busy and I don't have a lot of time to fuss with my hair. Lisa's haircuts are so easy to take care of and I don't have to spend a lot of time in order to have my hair looking great. I went to many hairstylists before I met Lisa and she is the absolute best. Once you go to Lisa, you will never go anywhere else! read more

THE HAIR WHISPERER!!! I have found the only woman who will ever cut and color my hair from now on. She is magic. I have rather dull brown hair with no spark to it. Lisa gave me some highlights and colored my grey and I feel like a new woman and look ten years younger. She made my hair glossy and shiny. The cut was perfect. She listened so carefully to my concerns and intuited ways to give me gorgeous hair. She is so friendly and personable and her salon so lovely that there is no where else I'll be going from now on! Simply put, she is the BEST! read more

What a find! I've been going to Lisa for a few years now and have even brought my daughters in for their haircuts since they were old enough to sit in the big chairs. I've always been more than happy with the way Lisa cuts and colors my hair. She always listens to me, evaluates how my hair held up since the last time, and always looks at how we can do things better. I call her the Hair Intellectual--she's always thinking. Now my daughter is a teenager and I brought her in for her first set of highlights or babylights as Lisa called them. Lisa absolutely promised that my daughter would be happy. I thought that was a pretty bold promise but she was right, my daughter was totally thrilled--not too much, not too little, just right for a first age appropriate set of highlights. My daughter bounced out of the salon and has had a smile on for weeks. I told Lisa that I think we created a monster because now I don't think she will ever be able to live without highlights again. Thankfully she has Lisa who I know will take the most excellent care of her. I can't recommend Lisa more highly. read more

Lisa is awesome!! She really took time to listen to exactly what I wanted and addressed all my concerns. I have had some bad hair cuts in the past and was nervous to get the cut/color but she was amazing! I've never been happier leaving a salon. She also gave me great tips on how to protect my hair and help it grow longer. She is so nice and made it a great experience, I will definitely be going back. I definitely recommend her!! read more

After twenty years as her client, I figure I'm in a reasonably good position to venture a review. Lisa's funny, professional, talented, flexible, and can usually manage to squeeze me in at the last minute. My needs are simple (dude with short hair), but she always gets it right. (And if you're nice, she'll show you pics of her awesome bulldog with the cutest underbite, so who could resist that?) I can't recommend her highly enough! read more

It was such a pleasure to have my haircut, color and highlights done by Lisa. The moment I walked through the door she made me feel comfortable and seemed to care a lot about what I wanted. She took the time to ask me lots of questions. She was also a very pleasant person to talk with throughout the process. I would definitely go back! read more
