    This review is for Jenna, who does really lovely color and highlights. She worked with my rather complicated hair, which had been darkened and then lightened, and was able to maintain a lovely soft texture even though it's been processed all to hell. It was kind of evident before Jenna got to work on my head where the color story had played out--which bits had been dark brown in the past, which bits had been bleached, where the virgin hair was--there were like 3 or 4 distinct sections, and the color wasn't at all even. I told her to do whatever she thought was best to make it consistent and pretty and she suggested balayage, and she meticulously controlled which areas needed what color to give me a lovely all-over beachy highlight, with some caramel lowlights and toned things perfectly. I also always appreciate her wicked sense of humor. It's great to laugh a lot with someone friendly and end up looking really pretty!

    What an upgrade! I went there (when it was Fred Segal Beauty) for almost ten years. The space has morphed twice and this is the best I've seen. The new space is open, but inviting and Zen like. I always felt the lighting in the old set up was enough to set off a migraine. There's a bit less pretention in the attitude than before. Thank heavens it all worked out. Not sure what I would have done with myself if they hadn't resurrected in this spot. They carry great hair products including he Shu Umera line which is relatively new. The conditioners smell heavenly. Not to mention that when you're done, you can go blow your paycheck in the Fred Segal Shops.

    About 6 months after I moved to LA from St. Louis in 2012 (after a couple overpriced and poorly executed highlight jobs at other salons on the westside), I was lucky enough to find an amazing colorist, Jenna, at a salon in Santa Monica. I've been so happy with my hair since she started doing it, and will never go to anyone else. I followed her to Matthew Preece Salon, which is beautiful, well kept, and in a great central location (also, parking is free behind the building!). Jenna has taken me from brown to red to blonde, back to brown, and back to blonde, and my hair has never been healthier or prettier. On top of her amazing techniques (she's particularly amazing at hand painting blonde / balayage), she is hilarious and so much fun to talk to while she's doing my hair. I can't recommend Jenna enough!!

    Stylist Sean James is so good that I drive down from the Monterey Peninsula regularly to get my haircut. He's also very nice!

    At 31, after years of never really having to deal with acne, my skin exploded. I tried a variety of…read moreproducts and other estheticians before finding Cynthya (Cece) at Skin Lovely. She and the team completely transformed my skin and my self-confidence. Cynthya, patiently created and walked me through a new skin care routine, updating it and changing it when necessary, adding and deleting products to suit my skins needs. I started noticing a difference within a few months and after a year of treatments and my revised skin routine I felt like my skin was finally back to the way it used to be (acne-free, texture-free, bouncy, and glowing). It's now been two years with Cynthya and the Skin by Lovely team and my skin is better than ever. I rarely wear makeup and usually opt for a lightly tinted sunscreen. I can't recommend them enough!! Added (and very important) bonus: They're the kindest group of people who go above and beyond for their patients.

    This was my first-ever microneedling experience, and I couldn't have asked for a better…read moreintroduction! I started with a skin consultation with Christina, and she was absolutely fantastic--incredibly knowledgeable, super sweet, and respectful of my desire to focus on aging naturally and gracefully while still being open to treatments like microneedling. She took the time to explain the process clearly, set realistic expectations, and made sure I felt fully prepared and comfortable before moving forward. The treatment itself was swift and painless, and her guidance around aftercare was spot-on. Recovery has been seamless--I've had zero issues, which speaks volumes about both her expertise and the care she puts into her work. I left feeling, yes, completely numb and looking as if I got a sunburn (totally normal, especially for more fair-skinned patients), but also genuinely excited about the results! And I've been thrilled with what I've seen so far. I absolutely plan to make microneedling a regular part of my routine here and would highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for thoughtful, expert care!

When my primary aesthetician wasn't available, this was a place I trusted and would come to as a backup. I booked a facial here recently specifically because I had an inflamed pimple on my chin that I was hoping could be treated before an important event. I drove about 40 minutes and paid $150 for the service. The aesthetician was very kind and professional, but the service itself did not meet expectations. There was no steam or warm compress used, the towels were cool, and no meaningful extractions were performed. The only area that seemed to be addressed was some oil around my nose. The primary concern I came in for was not treated or discussed, and I left with the same inflamed lesion I arrived with. I completely understand that not all breakouts are appropriate for extraction, but this was never communicated during the service. I followed up directly and through customer service. While they were responsive, I was told a refund was not possible and was instead offered a discount on a future service or a complimentary 30-minute facial. Unfortunately, that does not address the outcome of the original service. I was also told that an email had been sent to me, which I never received (including checking my spam folder), which added to the frustration. This experience unfortunately changed my perception of a place I used to trust, and I don't see myself returning. Sharing this so others can make an informed decision.
