    After the treatment

    My hair has always been incredibly difficult to deal with. I have a lot of it and it's really damaged. But after going to Lovely Magic, it changed completely! I was so surprised at how amazing it looked after Sharon helped me with it. She walked me through everything and let me know why my hair was acting the way it was. Then she went to work with it. And in a couple of hours, it looked so much different. Everyone around me was surprised when they saw how different my hair looked. I seriously am so thankful and will always be returning here to get my hair done! Shoutout to Sharon for being amazing!! Would most definitely recommend!!

    I recently got referred to lovely magic from a friend. Wanted to try out it out so drove all the way from LA Koreatown. I have damaged hair from all the bleaches Ive got from the past, so my hair gets tangled and curly after shampoos. My daily routine would be blowdrying my hair then right after I would straighten it to get that sleek look. If i don't straighten it my hair looks very damaged. But lovely magic saved me! After getting lovely magic my hair looks healthy! Also, I don't use a straightener anymore bc of their magical formula. My stylist, Sharon, showed me how to style my hair ONLY with a dryer! Overall, I give lovely magic 5 stars! Their service was on point, the outcome of my hair was unbelievable, and I would go back and get it done again! Thank you lovely magic for saving me from my damaged hair.

    I was a bit iffy at first since I don't know much about hair but Sharon was super nice and explained everything to me in detail.

    I had an awesome experience with Mina at Hairgram. She was so sweet and easy to talk to. I even got…read morean iPad to use in case I wanted to be an iPad kid while waiting for the perm. I got a root perm because I've always been insecure about how flat my hair is. It looks pretty subtle but made a huge difference in my confidence! I think the biggest difference is from the side profile because normally there is a steep downward incline from the middle of my head to the front of my head but in the picture you can see that it's more straight across.

It isn't clear from Yelp when you are going to hear back and if your appointment is booked until you jump through several hoops. It's only after you do all that that its clear. Pro: - The person cutting seems professional and sweet Con: - Absolutely EXPENSIVE. $90 starting price and up depending on the needs. I get that but she charged my daughter $120. For what? Because her hair was long. OK, if we had special needs or she wanted to cut a lot, etc. maybe it's more work. However, we just cut 2 inches all the way and had bangs. That's it. Nothing else. No color. Nothing. In what way does her long hair make a difference? it doesn't. It was a rip off and my daughter said 2 days later after giving it time that it was only Mehhhh.

    Awesome haircut by Robin! I got a toner and the color was really cool! Thanks Robin! The salon…read moreatmosphere is also really great and Robin was very welcoming!

    I'm so glad I found Robin!…read more I messaged her around 12:30 a.m. on a Friday morning, not expecting a response anytime soon, but she got back to me first thing that morning around 8:30 a.m. She was incredibly responsive and walked me through the entire booking process. I noticed she had availability later that same day, so I was able to schedule an appointment for 1:45 p.m. Even though I was worried I had waited too long to book and wasn't giving her much notice, she promptly confirmed my appointment and reassured me to still come in. From the moment I arrived, Robin was so warm, personable, and welcoming. As a mom, I especially appreciated that she was completely understanding about me bringing my 4 1/2-year-old with me. She even offered her a comfortable space to sit and wait while I had my hair done, which meant so much to me. I honestly had no idea what I wanted to do with my hair, but Robin had some great ideas and helped me figure out a good starting point. I absolutely love how my hair turned out! Not only is she talented, but she made the entire experience easy, comfortable, and enjoyable. I will definitely be going back to Robin in the future! ‍

    Christie is what I like to call a hair magician. My natural hair is EXTREMELY fine, flat, and hard…read moreto manage. I told Christie my main goal was volume, not length, and she delivered! She recommended I go with sew in wefts - she did three rows for me, which is the perfect amount of hair! Christie - thank you so much! It is the FIRST time I've actually loved my hair. I've since been back from my initial install for two more re-ties. Basically moving the extension weft back up to the root. I am literally in and out in less than 20 minutes. It is so easy and my daily maintenance is practically nothing! Just wash & brush really well, and braid it loosely before sleeping. Bonus - I can't even feel them! No pain, discomfort, or itchy-ness. Christie is a pleasure to spend time with and genuinely cares about her clients. If you are on the fence, go in for a consultation- you won't regret it! I also used her clip in extensions she has for my wedding. She does a great job not only matching the color, but the texture and weight for a seamless, natural look. She also cares about the health of your natural hair to prevent breakage. If you want length, volume, or just more hair to play with, Christie is your girl!

    If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would…read more I feel a responsibility to share my experience with Christie, as it was not only professionally disappointing but also personally distressing. While my initial appointments went relatively well, everything changed when I came in with some minor hair matting. Rather than responding with care or professionalism, Christie's demeanor and service took a drastic turn once it became clear that this appointment wouldn't lead to the usual $1,000 every three months for Keratin strand replacements --extensions which, for the record, should not fall out prematurely if applied correctly. Instead of taking the time to properly detangle the matted extensions, Christie cut both my bonded strands and my healthy, natural hair--so severely that I was left with an uneven, choppy, almost bald appearance. I have used Keratin extensions for over 20 years and have never had this happen. Her application technique appears rushed and diluted; the bonds fell out far earlier than they should have, likely due to minimal adhesive and reduced service time--both of which seem designed to maximize her profit, not the client's satisfaction. Because my hair was now too short for Keratin (as a direct result of her poor handling), Christie convinced me to purchase weft extensions. What she failed to disclose was that these wefts are bought at cost from her brother-in-law--a clear conflict of interest that was never communicated to me. Instead, she charged me a 150% markup for thin, poor-quality hair that was see-through and visibly inadequate. This lack of transparency isn't just unethical; it's appalling. What made the experience even more humiliating was how she handled it in real time. Rather than speak to me with professionalism, she continually left the room to vent to her coworkers about "the situation." This behavior was profoundly unprofessional, degrading, and traumatic. I sat in the chair mortified, knowing I was being discussed behind my back while my hair was being hacked off. When I got home and realized just how poor the weft quality was, I immediately contacted her, offered to return the unused hair, and asked for a refund. She refused to take accountability or offer any form of remedy. I was left with damaged hair, a depleted bank account, and a complete sense of betrayal. For anyone considering QUALITY Keratin extensions: they are a bonded product and, if applied with skill and integrity, should last 4-6 months--not begin falling out in weeks. Christie's approach seems to cut corners to ensure repeat visits, regardless of the harm it causes. I cannot overstate how devastating this experience was. The emotional toll of losing my hair--combined with the unethical practices, lack of transparency, and demeaning treatment--makes this the worst salon experience I've ever had. I would strongly caution anyone considering services here to think twice.
