I'm a low maintenance, rarely get my hair trimmed, type of gal. This summer I decided to go for it and lighten my hair; I was looking for balayage. I have dark hair and had never had my hair dyed before. Martin was fabulous, he looked at my inspiration photos, pulled out a book of hair colors and suggested which tones would be best to achieve my look. He explained the process to me throughout the session. He was focused and meticulous, making sure the color was just right. The result was fabulous and EXACTLY what I wanted. Martin transformed my hair and me; I'll now start visiting him regularly! I highly recommend him. read more

Martin Hair Studio - Look at that golden color - just perfect. (I started with dark hair, almost black) - Hair Stylists Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

This was my first time at Martin Hair Studio, and I found him through Groupon. Especially considering I went in knowing nothing about him, I was pleasantly surprised to see how dedicated Martin was to making sure that I got exactly what I wanted! He was polite, professional, and listened well. I came in with gold blonde hair, wanting an ash-blonde balayage look. He dyed it, dried one piece of my hair and realized that my hair still had a bit of gold left. He then searched for another toner and went the extra mile to make sure that my hair matched the photo that I brought in! An overall great experience! I highly recommend him. If you've never been to Martin Hair Studio I suggest getting his Groupon deal and checking him out. You won't be disappointed :) read more

I have lived in LA for over 10 years now and I have never found a stylist that I've stuck with until I started going to Martin. He is extremely talented and focused. The hair cuts are phenomenal and you get exactly what you ask for. He takes his time and makes sure it is perfect before sending you home. I recently had him take me from my regularly red color which I have always done myself for years back to my natural ask brown with balayage blond ends, which he suggested. I have never received so many compliments on a new hair color than this! He has a great eye for what colors and cuts look good on you. I highly recommend him! read more

Flawless! I've been to Martin for over a year now and he does not disappoint!

I've only gone twice but now I only want to entrust my hair to Martin, he's the best. Super easy to set up appts, we just text and set a time. I had previously colored my hair a few times and just accepted the dryness. Somehow he brought it back to life, smooth and shiny! He listens to what I want and also adds suggestions for what looks good and will keep the hair healthy. Today I wanted to add some dimension to my brown hair for my upcoming wedding, so he suggested warm blonde highlights and I'm loving the result! He is super careful with every strand of hair, is easy to talk to or just watch Netflix with, and uses products that smell fantastic. Free aromatherapy! Plus he's a magician with a hair dryer. I hate how with other hairstylists they dry my hair and then curl it right away, which is not healthy, but he just curls with the brush, minimal heat! And he teaches me how to maintain my hair so it stays healthy even after I leave. Can't say enough good things about him. About average prices for the services but quality of his work is waaaay above average so it's a great deal! read more

I finally found a stylist that did exactly what I asked for and better. After 10 years of hopping from one stylist to the other that either made my hair to bright or gave me the wrong color. Martin was the only one that produced better then the picture I provided. I went from brunette to blonde ombré to gray ombré to now blue balayage. I loved every single color, can't go anywhere else. read more

Martin Hair Studio - Mermaid Hair - Hair Stylists Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

I was lucky to find this great man on Groupon! I had gotten some not so natural looking highlights done 3 weeks prior to meeting him. I showed him what I wanted, talked about what I like and don't like, and the ways he could go about fixing my hair. In about 3 hours he was done and the finished result was nothing short of amazing! I walked out feeling so happy and relieved that I wouldn't have to hide my hair in a hat or beanie anymore. Martin is humble and works hard to achieve your desired look. I highly recommend him for anything you need done! His studio is cute and clean with plenty of natural sunlight coming in and a view of PCH. I will definitely return to Martin in the future! read more

Loveed my hair cut from Martin he is amazing!! I used living social voucher 45 bucks for hair cut and deep conditioning. I felt like a princess he delivered what I asked. I requested my hair shoulder length with lots of layers. Since my hair was in dire need of a haircut. My hair felt lighter and shiner. I loved how he did my bangs because I usually don't do bangs. The deep conditioning was amazing. Since I worked graveyard shift, I was able to enjoy and relaxed my haircut experience. The ambience is very welcoming and warm.
