HATERS BEGONE!!!!!!! I got my locs done here yesterday and I've never had a better experience since I've decided to loc my hair. I've never been to a Salon Republic before but this place is amazing. It's filled with salon offices. So it's a very quiet and personal experience with you and Marie. She is super professional and tells you everything she is going to do and why. She is also very honest about the state of your locs. I already prepared my funds and figured it would be around $300 for my hair. I have small locs, I hadn't retwisted in forever, and I wanted curls. So I already knew it was going to cost. When she told me my price I wasn't shocked. And she is worth EVERY penny. Let me tell y'all!!!! The wash alone is worth it. She spends time washing your hair and she doesn't finish until it's clean. I have never washed my hair like she washed my hair. When she was done my dreads were and still are shining! She doesn't twist too tight. She doesn't curl too tight. Her hood dryer is actually big enough to fit the rodded curled dreads. I was soooo comfortable during the dry that I actually fell asleep! I left with completely dry, moisturized, shiny, curly, clean, and beautiful locs. I need to reschedule already because I know I want to look good for Christmas. She is cash only so get some before going unless you want to pay the fee at the salon atm. Seriously the bs posts on here are ridiculous. If you want quality you have to pay for it. She is top notch. read more

I've been with Marie for almost 10 years and my locs have never been happier. Marie is one that you start with and stick with because she's that good. She knows her stuff! When you come see Marie, it's an entire experience of serenity, relaxation and good conversation. As far as the locs go, Marie knows her stuff. She can look at your hair and describe the condition, any issues there might be, determine what should and shouldn't be done to your locs, among other things. I can assure you that if you stick with Marie and listen to what she says, you will have the happiest and healthiest locs. She's been there pretty much since my locs started and they are in the middle of my back now. Couldn't imagine anyone else taking care of my locs. read more

Loctician Marie - I'm preparation for having my baby - Hair Stylists Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

See all

I am two days too late with this review but I had to carve some time to write this review. Being that I have recently relocated from "The Windy City" aka Chicago, back in April and having gone to at least 3-4 locticians in Chicago over a 4 year time frame... I honestly never thought that professional hair artist and intellects existed. Sadly, I had given up hope and started to do my hair myself for the reasons in which I would imagine most people with natural hair do : 1. Dry and brittle locs 2. Flaky scalp 3. Locs not growing 4. Fear of loosing edges 5. Over pricing 6. Build up Let me just say this...if for whatever reason you share in my previous concerns?? Ms. Marie is the solution. After speaking with Ms. Marie to schedule my appt with her over he phone she mentioned her prices and further expressed that they would go up from there based on need. This was a tad unsettling to me because I did not want to spend too much on service but I know I needed HELP and honestly was low key desperate. After reading her Yelp reviews and looking at her pictures I was convinced that I needed to do this regardless of my apprehension in pricing. I arrived to my appoint at her salon in Weho about 20 minutes late and embarrassed due to my poor sense of direction and of course LA traffic. When I walked in...finally, I was greeted by a wonderful woman with big natural hair and a smile even larger. She directed me to the shampoo bowl where she had to have shampooed my hair for about 30 minutes, attempting to wash away all of the build up and years of poor maintenance stowed upon my hair. Understanding that healthy hair is a process, I warmly embraced her recommendations for hair maintenance and care and committed to growing my hair in a much healthier fashion for as long as I can. I was styled beautifully in a protective style that did not pain my head and was sent on my way. Let me just say that Ms. Marie is God sent and very very very rare when it come to this type of work. Most locticians are all about money so yes they charge 50-80 plus per head but in my 6 years of growing my locs and seeing at least 6-8 different stylist not "1" has taking the time to wash my hair let alone discuss with me the state of my locs and make recommendations for improvement. So what we do as consumers, is that we bounce around from person to person hoping that we meet a loctician that cares. I am very happy to have finally found one!! I close with this. Do NOT allow her prices to scare you away from the hair care you properly deserve. If anything in life is worth having, it's worth investing. I hope to see my hair grow and shine and strengthen in ways I have not achieved with others or can do for myself. If you are looking for the BEST loctician in the LA area...or anywhere? She is it. I swear you will not be disappointed. read more

Just an update on the results of some of her work. This is around the one-year mark with her. My hair has never been healthier. read more

Loctician Marie - Hair - Hair Stylists Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I started my loc journey with Marie just over a year ago and have loved every minute of this journey with Marie. If you are looking for a true loctician and not just someone that does locs, I recommend Marie! read more

Marie started my locs feb 2014. Best decision I've made so far about my hair. I found Marie on yelp a year prior to her starting my locs. I was new to california. I knew i wanted locs but couldnt commit for some reason. I set up a consultation with Marie feb 2013. From the moment i met her i knew i wanted her to start my locs. So since feb 2014 ive been rocking with her. Marie has a lovely personality, she takes her time and is a pro at what she does. Check her out for all your natural hair needs not just locs, you wont be disappointed. read more

Loctician Marie is the Holy Grail of locs. I found Marie through Yelp about three months ago and I could not be happier. My locs and scalp were in pretty bad shape when I came to Marie, but with Marie's golden touch, they have turned around for the better. With Marie, you are getting more than just a simple service, you are getting personal hair care. I feel like my hair is in the best hands (literally). In the short time that I have been going to Marie, I can already see the results. People often stop me in the most random places to ask me where I get my hair done. Beyond the hair care, Marie always keeps it professional. When you have an appointment, she calls you the day before to confirm. Most importantly, your appointment time is your appointment time. If she tells you 12, you are in her care at 12. If you're looking for a loctician, Loctician Marie is the one. read more

Loctician Marie - My locs a couple of weeks after my second visit. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Called for pricing and she was VERY rude then added " I'm not accepting new clients" and hung up on me. Wow!!!!!

I want to start off by saying that she is not for everyone... there are those that want locs but don't want to put forth the time, effort, and money to get them done properly and she doesn't deal with those people. When I meant loctician Marie for my consultation she made sure that I realized it will be a process, a process that can either be easy and painless or could make me never want to have dreadlocks again. 6 years ago I had dreadlocks that I free formed and I wanted Locs again but I wanted to get them done properly. I did a lot of research into getting my Locs done and looked around at all the locticians in the area and the only one that stood out was loctician Marie due to reviews of customers who have actually utilized her services. I've gone 3 times and each time has been a fantastic experience and will continue to go back. I've already recommended her to everyone that I know and will always stand by my 5 star rating read more

I will start off by saying Maria's work is really good. I went to her to start my locks and I truly did not have to do anything to my hair between appts. As she told me out the $35 consultation that is required before getting your hair done. However, she lack a certain level of professional. I was paying her $225+ tip for my small locks. Which I don't mind you pay for quality especially in LA. But when I went to visit the 2nd time I was told I had to pay an additional $30 for her to wash my hair. She told me do not worry about it now but for next time. Which was cool. Bc I would wash my hair before I came bc I did think that was a bit ridiculous and petty... your a hair dressers...! anytime you touch someone's hair you wash it for sanitary reasons. But I digress so about 5 days before my Appt I called to ask what shampoo she uses there was no answer and she never answered the question that I left on her voicemail. However, she did call to make sure I was coming. This is the 2nd time she has done that to me. Once again I am paying you $225 which i realize if you do a bit of read each you can find other loctitians at Half the price who are just as good if not better. The sad part about it is if she would have been better in her customer service I would have never left. There are some other thing during my visit I did not like but I like the way my hair looked in the end so I kept returning. As she states to all of her clients if your a no cal no she she will block you and ban you from her shop. Which I am ok with. I am some who enjoys getting my hair done so I treat this my relaxing time! However it was hard to be relaxed in that shop honestly she seems to be the only one who is truly relaxed. I wish her the best in her business but know you only play on her terms... if you don't she will not do your hair... and at her $$$ I guess she can afford that. But like I said her work is 5 stars ever things else could use improvement. Her response is below is exactly the type of service you will get! And my new stylist has locked my hair and so I do think you who she has reached out to should check her! Promise Will not be extremely. Sorry Maria I did not realize I could not call your voicemail after hours or text (I thought that is what voicemail and text messing was for). read more

Marie is a 5 star hair care provider. Her intake process is informative. Her shop is immaculately clean. She is punctual and thorough. The experience and results Marie delivers are phenomenal! Today I completed my 3rd appointment, which (like the previous 2 visits) starts with an extensive cleansing of my scalp and locs. It is a relaxing, soothing experience as Marie washes my hair and converses with me in her lovely Jamaican accent. Next, Marie uses the palm roll method to re-twist my numerous and dense locs. It's a painless process despite the thickness of my hair. Even though this portion of the experience takes the longest, I hardly feel the time because Marie is personable and engaging while she works. Also, the hot coffee Marie offers is a nice touch, especially for an early morning re-twist. After a blow-dry, my locs feel light and look stunning. Each visit I am thankful I found Marie and I am so glad this sweet soul with gifted hands is part of my loc journey. I highly recommend Marie! read more

I had a 5:30 appt. I showed up fifteen minutes before just in case Marie was open to start early, to my delight she was. I was greeted with a warm reception and placed under the sink to start shampoo. Marie used a four step process when washing my hair, 3 different types of wonderful smelling shampoo natural oils that left my hair feeling light and smelling unbelievably wonderful. The fourth step was a conditioner (the whole shampoo process took about a half hour. Which is standard wash time, but not all Locticians abide by this. Marie knew what she was doing though). After the wash I was placed in a seat to begin my lock maintenance. Before starting the owner asked if I was thirsty, offering me champagne, a beer, anything to make me more comfortable. (Now I'm not sure if that is an everyday thing they do at this particular salon but it sure enhanced the already enjoyable experience.) While re-twisting my hair Marie had the delicacy but yet firmness with each individual lock while twisting. Minimal pain while she worked diligently on my scalp. The almost always heavy handed hair dressers I've encountered in past instances could really learn a thing from the patience Marie showed while doing my hair. Two and half hours later we're nearing the end, my hair has been fully re-twisted and feels amazing. One last thing, I usually like to have my hair braided once finished, but instead this time I asked for a bun. Marie's first attempt at my bun looked wonderful but the placement was too far back for my liking. Did Marie complain when I asked her to unravel the bun and replace it? No. Without hesitation and with a smile (mind you it's going on 9pm now ----WAAAAAY past store hours) she re-bunned my hair and had me leaving completely satisfied. Overall, the experience here was beyond dope. It was a comfortable relaxing work environment with a staff that appeared to love pleasing its clients. I would give this experience a five but for those with longer hair (like myself) expect to drop a pretty penny. Overall fee I felt could've been a bit more reasonable but it wouldn't prevent me from a second visit. If you've got locks and don't know where to go.......give Loctician Marie a try! read more

I came in to see Marie a few days ago so that she could wash and retwist my locs. I have to say that I had a great experience! Marie was fabulous; very sweet and chatty and super fast on my locs. When she was finished, my locs looked amazing. Jonathan, another stylist, was such a sweetie pie - I loved him! Sky was also wonderful. There's a really cool, cheery, positive vibe that flows through the salon. I was totally relaxed and having a great time. I will definitely return! read more

6/14/2019 was the first day of "rehab" for My Locs. And WHAT an experience it was!! THANK YOU, Loctician Marie, for the Peaceful space. THANK YOU for the professionalism. THANK YOU for educating me about caring for My Locs correctly. THANK YOU for taking Your time and THE time. THANK YOU for repairing what I did or did not do in my ignorance. THANK YOU for explaining the process to Me and what to expect. THANK YOU for the SoulFULL conversation and encouragement. THANK YOU for giving a Sista from Dunnican Bottom the chance to say "My Locs and I got pampered in Beverly Hills" The Deep Condition Treatment was EVERYTHING!!! read more

Went for a second maintenance and the style was different and fresh and fun. Locs were palm rolled as I like and the style well...We collaborated on it! read more

She probrably is good, but she refuses to give some average rate and CHARGE $35 just to tell you how much she charges!!!!! Such ridiculous thing!!!! I can't believe people pay for it. Maybe I should to start to do the same thing on my busisness... read more

I was only in LA for the week and was in need of a loctician. So of course I did a little google searching and the first person that popped up was Marie. Despite initial confusion when I called the salon, I dialed the number above and Marie picked up! She answered even though it was her birthday, and sweetly scheduled me for an appointment a day or two later. When you visit, you should call Marie so she can advise you where to park, or you might end up having to find metered parking. Marie was extremely thorough with washing and re-twisting my locs. And by the end of my time in her chair, I looked so FRESH. The only thing that was surprising was the cost (coming from Atlanta), but it was worth it. Thanks Marie! And I will definitely visit you again whenever I'm back in LA and in need of a salon visit. read more

Marie is truly about hair care and not just style. I typically come every four to six weeks for a deep conditioning treatment, blow out and trim. The Afro is healthier and bigger! Marie also shared hair care tips that have made life easier and kept me on the natural hair-growth path. She pays attention to every detail and what your hair needs are. read more

I never said that your prices were out of my range. I just wouldn't pay that high of a price for someone without enough experience/clients. It's like paying for a rolex online from a third party vendor without the tags or documentation, you don't know if it's authentic or not without the credentials and seeing if it's really that watch being marketed.. read more

Loctician Marie is the truth! She knows what she is talking about, is for real about having healthy hair and is the consummate professional. I just started my loc journey with her and after having her bless my head with her expertise, I know that I am in great hands and my locs will be slayed! If you are in need of a loctician or a stylist that specializes in natural hair care, definitely give her a call. read more

Incredible knowledge, welcoming environment, and the results have far exceeded my expectations! I had concerns about my hair texture, but my hair started to bud after the first couple of appointments, feels healthy, and isn't breaking off or dry like you see with a lot of people's locs. Wouldn't want to be on this loc journey with anybody but Marie! Definitely the best in LA! Wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair! read more

Ms Marie is the best thing that ever happened to my hair... nobody and I do mean nobody else will be touching my hair moving forward... my hair is growing fast, it looks, feels and truly is so much healthier since walking into her beautiful studio... it's a very private setting and she treats all her clients like VIPs... I am very thankful for her... you will not be disappointed... thank you Marie! read more

I would have like to give a proper review but unfortunately you have to make an appointment and have your hair seen before you can get a ballpark quote. I'm not sure who has the time or money to set an appointment with no prior knowledge to how much the services may cost. I see a few good reviews for the services but the vibe I got when I asked for a general quote was a major vibe killer and turn off. I by no means would hold the stylist to a ballpark quote but I would also not be walking in blindly. It's very unfortunate that the stylist only values her time. read more

I found Marie to be quite argumentative and not really listening to what I had to say about my relationship with my locs. After I got my hair washed, all down my back was completely wet and then she blamed me for it when really she should have offered better towels, longer/thicker towels instead of some dibby dibby hand towel. Marie constantly sang to songs on the radio, right in my ear and her voice is always off key but that's not the point. I had a headache afterwards. How do you tell your hairdresser to stop singing when they're doing your hair? There's no polite way of saying it, so I just sat there waiting for this nightmare to be over with. I was not impressed with the service. read more

Omg this woman is going on about something that happened long ago. I wrote my review don't attack me. Take the $140 I gave you (I do mean gave you because you didn't earn it!) and take a class that would teach you some business savvy!! Drop it. You're not right you'll never be. I'm the CUSTOMER! I was and am not happy. My expectations were realistic and you could not meet that. Let that be that. read more

Couldn't even get a ballpark quote! WTF!! So I'm supposed to drive all the way from Anaheim to West Hollywood for her to "look" at my hair first. She said that she would need to see how much hair and how long so I described it as best I could with great detail. (A LOT of long thing locks about shoulder length) I wasn't expecting an exact quote but any professional should be able to at least give their best ESTIMATE. If it's turns out to be a little more or a little less so be it. At least I'll have an idea of the ballpark before I waist my time and gas driving through LA traffic for something I'm not even sure I want to pay for yet! This makes me feel like she just makes up prices as she goes along and I'm not comfortable with that at all. NEXT! read more

Drove about 30 mins away and told Marie that my locs are long and to my back to make sure it was very clear before my consultation. She told me it would be $250 I walked right out. I feel her prices are inflated to pay for the chair or location. That's ridiculous $250 for a regular groom with no style! Smh read more

Marie is a great loctician. I have been with her for a few months when she transitioned my unhealthy sisterlocks into traditionals and I haven't looked back. She's professional, fast and sweet. My hair has never looked or felt better! read more

I've been going to Marie for over two years now. She started my dreads and has been the only person I'll allow to touch them hahaha. She's extremely professional, thorough and cleaner than you could ever imagine. You feel like you're getting a celebrity treatment when you come in. And she's fast. It will be more expensive than you're accustomed to paying. But if you're serious about taking care of your hair it's worth it. Oh, and her treatment is like a baptism for dreadlocks. read more

$180 for a retwist? Do you know how outrageous that sounds. Lol my dreads are 2 inches max. Very terrible price points. I just missed a $70 appointment that I've done for a year now. And just wanted a touch up. Please shop around before you call this place. It's a car payment for your hair. Lol read more

I live in SD I travel 2 times a month to Marie to get my hair dreaded. She's affordable, professional,consistent and a master at her craft. She's worth the 2 hour drive. read more

Marie is a wonderful loctician! She washes your hair with amazing products - feel the gentle tingle! Also, her hair dressing is amazing...my hair always feels and looks so much healthier. When I leave the salon, my hair and my spirit feels light and so beautifully cared for! She's a blessing and a gift! read more

Loctician Marie is an awesome stylist. She's very knowledgeable, patient and professional my hair feels and looks great, and she's quick. I got so many compliments! The only reason I'm giving her four stars instead of five is because she doesn't take credit cards and is cash only. Other then that you will be in good hands with her. read more

I've been coming to Marie for almost 4 years now. In that time, her care of my Locs has increased growth by almost 10 inches, if not more. I've had Locs my entire life (25 years). My hair used to be dry and somewhat unhealthy, no matter how well I tried to maintain it myself. After the first two visits to Marie, my hair looked healthier than I'd seen it in my entire life. She uses natural products and even sells them to you for a lesser price than the store or online value! Her styles are endless and her knowledge of Locs is unmatched. I've since moved to the east coast and will still only let Marie touch my hair. She has had Locs herself and knows that they are an extension of you their importance. Fresh styles, extremely affordable prices (you get red carpet looks, people!!!!!) and on top of that, she genuinely cares and connects with you throughout the entire appointment. Do your hair and yourself a favor and book an appointment now! read more

Greatest Loctician in Southern California. I moved from Tennessee to California and it took me a long time to find a natural hair specialist. I found Marie in Facebook and tried her out... I received 5 star service all the way around. She is personable and very knowledgable about Locs and natural hair period. Her service is great and she is very creative when it comes to styles. She teaches you how to care for your hair and only uses natural products made by her in your hair. I have been telling everyone I know about Marie. I promise you, you will Never leave her shop disappointed. Ever since my first experience I will never go to another person and I drive from Oxnard to see her every month. A drive well worth it. I promise. read more
