I can't speak highly enough of this salon. The vibe is so friendly, and the whole salon is so cute and welcoming. I went to Marisa for a curly cut and color, and this was legitimately the first time in my life I haven't left a salon crying. Marisa was so understanding of exactly what I asked for and was so reassuring every step of the way. If you have curly hair, go see Marisa! She really just gets it. read more

Love the cut & blowout owner Lisa did on me :)) Everyone at the salon is great & just enjoyed the whole experience. 10/10 would do again! read more

It's been a month since I flushed $130 down the toilet while ruining my hair coming to this salon. I wish i could say I felt differently but I am just as frustrated. I've had 2 birthdays, mothers day, a graduation and a wedding I attended with my hair hidden in a tight bun because these people screwed up my hair. your hair is an important part of YOU and having issues (like a horrible cut you can do nothing with) is so stressful. read more

Well, sheesh! Isn't this place a hidden gem?! I had the absolute pleasure of having Allison work on me today and I'm SO beyond happy. It's the first time in a long time I felt heard in a salon setting and she just crushed it, from her incredible scalp massage to the chat and of course the cut! Just really a lovely experience all around. Thank you Allison, and an honorable mention to the person running reception! I'm so looking forward to the next time I have to get a hair cut! read more

I had the BEST experience today at Lucas Salon. I came by in the morning to see if they had any openings and they did, same day. Anne Marie did such an excellent job on my hair. She checked in with me as she was doing things and she was meticulous about every single piece! I appreciated how much time and care she dedicated to bring my hair back to life with a fresh cut! She showed me a bunch of style tips and took the time to point me to the correct products. I will 100% be coming back!! read more

Greatest salon on the Eastside of LA, maybe even the entire city! Everyone is super friendly, offering drinks while you wait and making sure you are comfortable. The salon is always buzzing and busy which is great to see the community they have built! Big shout outs to Allison and Brian... and Joe at the front is always super sweet. Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for fresh, stylish, and well priced services! read more

I've been following Amy G. around for years! She's the only one that cuts my hair and she does an amazing job! Everyone at the salon is super nice and I love the vibe of the store. read more

I love this salon's location! It's in a residential neighborhood right off of the 5 FWY nestled in Frog Town on LA river walk. Plus right next door to La Colombe coffee and tea. I stopped in for 10- minute consultation with Marisa and went the following week for the magic! I have had long hair for too long and she did an amazing job listening to my skill set, desired look coupled with the time I was willing to put in to get an edgy look I was craving. I love my new haircut! She did a phenomenal job and is also a great colorist. This is a feel good- low key salon with really nice and talented people. read more

I've written a review for Allison before when she had been at Modem Salon in Silverlake, but thought it was a good time to tell her how much I truly appreciate her. I've been going to her for over 7 years and I don't trust anyone else with my hair. I always walk in not really knowing what I want to do with my look and I always know whatever we decide on I will be leaving looking and feeling like a rockstar. After getting married and growing my hair out to about the middle of my back she gave me an incredible lob. Also, I'd like to mention her cuts and colors are always so incredible that they grow out beautifully. During our safer at home orders my hair still looks great and my root grow out doesn't have a harsh line. I love and miss you Allison and can't wait to see you when this is all over! read more

Nina Lucas is one of my all time favorite cut and color professionals! Also her blow outs are legendary. Everyone who works there is super friendly and will even offer their own food when you have low blood sugar. read more

I love Lucas salon - it's got a relaxed, homey vibe and the haircuts are the best in the neighborhood. I've tried a bunch of hair salons around Echo Park and this one's my favorite. In particular, Brian is an awesome stylist. He has a great eye for different hair types and styles and really pays attention to how your hair will look when it's grows out. He first cut my hair when I decided to go from long hair to short. I loved it so much, I recommended a friend who also had Brian cut, color, and style her hair. In the years since, I've grown my hair out longer, but Brian's still given me great haircuts that are stylish and functional. As a bonus, you can get a cookie next door at Cookbook and browse gifts and cards at Shout and About. It makes for a relaxing afternoon. read more

Well, I USED to adore Lucas, when I went there for waxing and facials. And I used to think Jennifer Cunningham was a decent stylist. Apparently she has fans here, although it's pretty interesting that, a while after I wrote my original review, FOUR people joined Yelp around the same time (THREE ON THE SAME DAY) and immediately upon joining wrote five-star reviews of Jennifer that were, and are, their ONLY Yelp reviews. A bit suspicious in my book- think someone called her friends? Anyway, if there are still people who go to Jennifer, I hope they never go through what I did. If Jennifer messes up your hair she will be a total bitch, will NOT fix it, and you will NOT get your money back. I went in for the honey-colored highlights I had been getting on a regular basis for a few months. I thought the color looked a little "warm" but Jennifer assured me it was the lighting & that it looked fine. I walked outside and realized that my hair was a dark, garish, Kool-aid red. All over. Jennifer's, and Lucas's, behavior was a textbook example of what NOT to do with an unhappy hair client. First of all, she AND the salon did not return my calls for several days, even though I called ten minutes after leaving the salon and seeing myself in daylight. I was then extremely grudgingly given an appointment "at the stylist's convenience". When I got there she treated me like hell: made me wait, used a color remover that didn't work, and was insanely rude to me. This "color removal" took THREE hours because she "fit me in" amongst other clients. It was not even worth her while to give me a proper appointment. She then told me the color remover was "on the house" as though it were a FAVOR. My hair was now just slightly lighter, in fact, it was now pink. And I was still $200 poorer. Jennifer's comment? "I think it's fine." What an attitude. Since Jennifer did not return any further calls and made it clear she would do nothing else, I had a friend of a friend fix my hair. It took two visits over three weeks, several hours, and another $300. This is seriously the worst salon experience I have ever had, and the most expensive. I'm still stunned at the way Jennifer acted and her total disregard for the fact that I walked out with my hair a total mess- everyone I saw for the next two weeks said "what the hell did you do?", and my boyfriend called me "Pinky" for a month. I have NEVER had a salon ruin my hair and refuse to fix it or refund my money. Note: AFTER I wrote my original review, the owner of Lucas, Taylor, finally called me and said she'd refund my money. I thought good thoughts again. Then I got a very nasty, actually fairly psycho, voicemail from Jennifer saying that she "didn't see why she should" refund me and that she would NOT do so. I think that Taylor should at least have taken responsibility for her bad-news stylist (and the fact that the salon did not return ANY calls) and given me a refund anyway- she put Jennifer in her salon, after all. It is very disappointing, because I like to support local Echo Park businesses, but Lucas is worse than any Beverly Hills salon, and Jennifer- well, I'm sorry- she was my hair's worst nightmare. read more

1.) My haircut was perfect. The hairstylist gave me absolutely everything I asked for, and even made the cut a little sassier and hipper than I could have expressed. Everything a haircut should be - just what you wanted, with a little bit of extra finesse that you personally couldn't have thought to ask for. 2.) The staff was not the friendliest. They weren't rude, exactly, just all business. Having more of an east coast sensibility, this almost never bothers me, but salons are for girlieness. I'm gonna spend at least 2.5 hours here under a hair dryer, reading magazines, and I'm shelling out big time salon money. I will come in and be smiley, PRETEND YOU LIKE ME, DAMMIT. 3.) The hairstylist chided me for having damaged my hair. Mama, I am a 30 year old modern woman with lifelong punk-rock sensibilities. We're all lucky I have ANY hair left after all of the crazy schemes and adolescent rage I've taken out on my locks. Virgin hair it ain't. You think I rolled in here off the turnip truck or something? 4.) I got a little lost trying to find the place. This is 100% my fault, because I am a little navigationally challenged and I forgot my map. As a result I was about 10 minutes late. When I walked in there was nobody at the reception desk, and I sat waiting for another 15 minutes for someone to receive me. My hairstylist had not arrived and didn't show up for another 10. If I had been early, I would have probably gone completely loony crazy and kicked a chair over or something. read more

I wish I could remember the name of the lovely dark-haired woman who is the aesthetician (waxing, facials, etc.) here.** She is so skilled and so nice. I think I got a hair cut here once and don't really recall it, but i definitely remember my facial and my Brazilian wax (my first). The Brazilian wax was something I did right after my ex-husband abruptly left me. I was still in shock a bit. I told her the situation & that I was doing it because I was eventually getting back into the dating scene and wanted something that would help motivate me... She handled this rather personal piece of info very well and was sympathetic. I knew I already liked and trusted her because of the facial I'd received from her a year earlier but it was when I later got a second Brazilian wax (at Pho Siam, actually) that I realized how skilled she was. She was quick and knew how to do the work that needed to be done without having me get into awkward positions. The B. wax at Pho Siam was adequate, but the young woman was a bit nervous and i had to really contort in some embarrassing ways. So I really can't speak for the salon part of Lucas, but the aesthetician is a pippin. :) **According to Lucas' website, her name is Arlene Silver. read more

Same day appointment, before some travel plan the very next day, so that was a plus. Called to let us know he was a few min behind schedule, then did this fantastic job on my 9 yr olds curly locks. I told him, not too long, and not too short. Well, he got it JUST RIGHT! Brian, thank you so much! I love his cut! read more

I've gone to Lisa twice now at Lucas salon. I was very pleased with my haircut, VERY pleased. I wasn't sure what i wanted going in there, which i am sure is a stylists nightmare! However, Lisa was very patient and eager to work with my indecisiveness. I really like the laid back environment here, no pretension and good music playing too, Vampire Weekend!! My first visit here I was a little shocked at the prices for a salon in echo park, but it is well worth it. Lisa is very skilled, especially if you want a razor cut. Great place!! read more

This review for Lindsey is long overdue! I followed her from another salon... She's been doing my hair now for about 4 years. I have really fine thin hair, so there's no disguising a bad cut and it takes a LONG TIME to grow out any mistakes. She's always really cautious with my hair and always gives me the most perfect cut/color. Plus she always curls my hair perfectly with an iron each time I get it done...Is that normal?!? I'm used to getting those weird blowouts that are opposite of how I would ever wear my hair! So nice that she takes the extra time. I've let a few other ppl do my hair over the last few years and I always come crawling back to her asking her to fix it... And she always does! She's the BEST!! read more

I've been cutting my hair for over ten years. There have been a few moments where I had someone else style it for me but I always felt like I had wasted $65+ on the exact cut I already had. Needless to say, having someone else cut my hair seems like a waste of time...until now. This month I seriously chopped my already short pixie cut so much so that I had spots in the back where my scalp showed. ooooops! I was feeling a little unsure about the back but figured it looked alright and wasn't so bad that I had to wear a hat in public. I was walking down the little strip in echo park, getting a coffee with my boyfriend, when I popped my head into this little salon. I was curious about the prices for a cut. I still don't know what caused me to stop, but I am glad I did. Everyone was super sweet and informative. I was greeted with smiles and kindness (unlike many places where you get attitude and sass). I was talking about my recent haircut mess up and Nicole came over. She's a wonderful person and I was taken by her kindness and sincerity. She offered to clean the back up and within minutes and a few buzzzzzzes of the clippers I was a very confident lady again. She had made the back of my hair look wonderful and only charged a small fee. I didn't mind as I had just popped in and because of how awesome everyone was. go see Nicole. She listens to what you want, offers options, and will make you feel really comfortable. I may just start going to her for regular cuts...this coming from a girl who hates haircuts. She's amazing. + total bonus, my boyfriend was 100% comfortable chillin' while I got the cut. He was happy I was happy but even more pleased that it only took a few minutes and didn't push back any of our plans for the day. read more

Despite Eli's unfortunate incident, I HIGHLY recommend Lucas! The staff is very friendly, the location is a little funky, the stylists are utterly fantastic and the experience simply fab. I have gotten my hair cut (pretty basic head of hair) for 6 months now, and have NOT ONCE been disappointed. In fact, as I have told Taylor, my stylist, "You're the best I've ever had!" (Of course, I was talking about her scissor skills.) If you are a downtowner or eastsider, check Lucas out. read more

Dear Lisa, Where have you been all my life?! I can't believe I've been living under a rock for so long. Every cut I've ever had was not quite right, but I didn't know why. Then I met you! Thank you for giving me the most rockin' cuts of my life -and the best bangs to boot! You are the best! read more

I usually spend a lot of time researching salons before going in but I decided to book an appointment at Lucas Salon on a whim after passing by with a friend. Boy was that a great decision! My stylist Marisa was so kind and detail oriented. She gave me incredible highlights that feel very natural. The salon has excellent customer service and the place feels very down to earth and intimate. I for sure will be back! Thanks Marisa + team! read more

I love this place.... I've been going here for about 5 years. I have tricky hair... I call it baby hair. It's dark blond, fine with a slight wave to it and I've got some unfortunate cowlicks. I've never had nice hair, and hardly ever received compliments on it. That is until Taylor started doing it. I've had nothing but great cuts and color here, and I now (very much to my surprise) get lots of compliments on my hair. The stylists here strike the right balance between hip and classic cuts... I've never walked out feeling like some teenager who's trying too hard. I've sent lots of friends and strangers to Lucas, and all I've heard back from have been happy with their experiences. Taylor does my hair, both my sisters', and my mother's... all with completely different styles and hair types, but always with the same great end results. I'll go to Lucas as long as I live in LA... Thanks guys. read more

Nina's haircuts are great. I have straight longish, hair and she does a rock solid job. She styles it kinda sexy/flirty and the cut is solid, so it looks hip for weeks. I just can't afford her all the time, it's worth it though. Also, her cuts hold their style for ALOT longer than other cuts I get, so the price is worth it. The salon is the least friendly salon I've been too. It's not unfriendly, just not the girlie, salon I'm used to. They seem to be getting better though, and most importantly, they get the job done. read more

I want to give a huge shout out to Boyd for being the best hairdresser in the biz. I am totally one of those people who has hair salon phobia and he has cured me. I love coming to this salon. It's cozy and comfortable with a mom and pop feel but you get a million dollar cut here every time. read more

Go to Lucas! I moved to LA about 2 years ago and struggled to find a good hairstylist for the first year. Now that I found Nicole Gehweiler at Lucas, I won't go anywhere else! I've gone to her for highlights, cut, to get rid of highlights once I got bored, and for color upkeep. I love my hair more every time I walk out of there. Now I always get compliments on my hair, which is a first for me! The salon is also awesome. Perfect location in Echo Park, always lots of parking nearby, fun artwork to look at while you're hanging out, and great tea for you if you're sick like I was last time I went in. Check it out! read more

Lisa is so awesome! I have big hair- strawberry blonde-coarse and wavy (red)/straight and fine(blonde). It's a mixed deal. She manages to tame my hair- The perfect mix of a classic cut with just enough texture to let me have some play with it. I can blow it out straight or leave it to air dry and the BEAUTY is that when it grows out- it holds the style. I always love my haircuts from her and she is such a good listener. I found her because I met a woman with a mane like mine and I sort of pounced on her because it's so hard to find someone who can manage to cut with precision and vision- I ran into this woman at the salon the day I got my haircut -- she had just got her haircut and we both laughed- because Lisa makes you feel good about yourself. We both felt like we looked beautiful. I have recommended this place to a number of friends and we all love it. It's such a good feeling to know you are in such great hands. Everyone that works there is super sweet. read more

Friendliest, most talented bunch of creative hair artists in the area. Lisa puts together a stellar staff and keeps a sweet clean house.

This place is amazing. I have been going here for years. I have tried other salons but always come back here because none can compare. Lisa is so hip and trendy just like the rest of the store. She takes so much pride in her work and is very flexible and willing to tweak your hair until it's just the way you like it. The rest of the staff is so friendly. They treat you like family. The store is very cool. They have art collections in the store and vibrant flowers that bring the salon light. There are many places you can walk to near by while you are waiting. read more

Whenever i notice that my tresses need some attention or my visage could use a little primping I head to Lucas; great salon sans the attitude. Something that other yelpers haven't mentioned is that Lucas does great facials! Ask for Arlene to book your appointment and believe me you will not regret it! I have suffered the occasional break-out *gasp* and headed over for a magnificent facial that leaves me relaxed and looking great. Arlene has this special wand thing that corrects skin issues- difficult to explain here, but worth it I tell you. For Hair: I go to Boyd, a stylist that does guest appearances and does an AWESOME job. read more

Amy moon is an incredible hairdresser. I hadn't had a haircut in over a year and she gave me the best haircut of my life. My brother has been going to her for over 12 years and swears by her. You should definitely get your next haircut by her! read more

I have been coming to Lucas for over 10 years and I absolutely LOVE their new space in frogtown. Nina is amazing-I always love my cut after leaving the salon. Tbh I will probably never go anywhere else for a haircut... thanks Lucas!!!! read more

Sit Back, Relax and enjoy the cut. You won't find this great of a salon anywhere else... the people are super friendly and only the Echo Park Elite are seen walking in the door of this Diamond in the Rough. Taylor is a masterful craftsman and oh so pleasant to share some time with... Go There. read more

Ive lived in Los Angeles my whole life and have tried several stylists. I came across Nicole through lifebooker over a year ago and have followed her from her previous salon to Lucas. She is so very talented at what she does and always manages to make my cut and color flatter my face shape. Every time I see her, I leave the salon feeling likes new woman! Trust me- if you're looking for a stylist to take charge and work magic on your hair Nicole is your girl. Also, the actual salon is super cute and there's a delish little marketplace a few doors down if you wanna grab a coffee before your appointment:) read more
