I take my 2 girls here, ages 8 and 3. They both have curly hair and need to have a specialist take care of them. Well Kym is the BEST! She is specially trained in cutting curly hair and does an amazing job. On top of this, she helps with educating me and the girls on how to take care of their hair and make it look beautiful. She listens and treats them wonderfully. Kym is patient and gives them her attention every time. We love Kym and her Assistant Michael. We will be life long clients!!! read more

I've been a client of Maximus Salon for several years. Ed Hart, the owner, does a wonderful color treatment, and an outstanding hairstyle. He listens to me when I describe what I would like, and takes his time to be sure his customers are pleased with their results. As a highlight, Ed is conversational, interesting, funny and kind. His wife, Michelle, is the co-owner, and together, they create a professional atmosphere, along with the feeling of a family environment. I recommend Ed of course, but if you have long hair, I see magic being created by Michelle. Actually, when I am there, I look around, and see capable, talented hairstylists throughout the salon. I highly recommend Maximus. Couldn't do better!! read more

Krista Houseman is awesome! I had a Groupon for a Brazilian Blowout and I couldn't be more pleased with the service. I normally don't like talking to my hair stylists but Krista is so down-to-earth and genuine that I actually enjoyed getting to know her. She has such a great personality that makes you feel comfortable. The only downside is the limited timed parking since the salon is on the main pier. Overall, I would highly recommend Krista :D read more

Diana is fantastic! Unpretentious and easy to talk to, I instantly liked her. She knew exactly what I wanted for my hair style and understood the frizzy nature of my hair and how best to tame it. I definitely will be coming back because her face-framing highlights looked so natural and pretty, I kinda think I might need to get her to do them on me! read more

Landy is fantastic!!! I recently moved to LA and was in a panic about finding a good hairdresser. I'm very particular and don't have the easiest hair to deal with (curly, thick, and I like to wear it straight). She is very knowledgeable, professional and super sweet. I was so pleased with my color, highlights and cut. I went out with friends and received so many compliments. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent experience. read more

I'm relatively new to the area so I took a leap of faith and trusted my friend when he highly recommended this salon. It's locally owned and operated. I see the owner in the salon every time I come in and I'm there every 5 weeks. Maximus is loved and well cared for. Its clean and kept up. Perfect location too! The ambiance is amazing. It's down to earth cool. No cattiness or pretentiousness there. The stylists are friendly and fun. Ashley is my stylist. This is one of those times in life when I can proudly say I SCORED! Ashley is the ultimate hair goddess. I have long, platinum blonde hair and I have Ashley to thank for keeping my hair in an amazing shape. She knows what she is doing. She never disappointed me. Always perfect color, always perfect experience. I leave with a huge smile on my face. I schedule my appointments months in advance and we are always on time. She schedules just enough time for me too, so I never feel rushed nor had to wait for her. Its a smooth, pleasant process. Love it! read more

Maximus Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Michelle (and ED) are great! Have been going to Michelle after a Henna debacle and she saved the day. -perfect highlights -precision cuts -and best of all she does the best REDS! My Favorite! She is truly wonderful and trust her completely. She is even considerate enough to do what only needs to be done knowing I am on a student budget! But she is worth ever penny! Thanks. Try for yourself. read more

Came here for the first time to get a simple cut from Lucy. I had a Groupon deal so it was very affordable. Lucy shaped my hair so nicely to fit with my hair type and for the first time in a while my hair doesn't look flat. Lucy is very easy to talk to and very personable. Really digging the new locks! read more

I find it sad to see such negative ratings from people who had one bad experience. Although we should all have the right to be heard, we can also bear in mind that we are affecting a person's ability to make a living. So it is equally important to raise our voices when we have something good to say! I have been a client at this salon (of Ed, the owner) for 15 years and have always been impressed by the professionalism, affordability, friendly atmosphere and high-quality services. I would recommend Maximus to anyone! read more

HANDS DOWN, MARI RING IS THE BEST STYLIST IN THE SOUTH BAY. I am a total hair snob. My hair is my favorite feature. I have literally sobbed until I dry-heaved when someone cut crappy layers into my hair. In fact, the first year that I lived in SoCal, I continued to see my stylist back home because I was terrified of someone hacking my hair. Imagine my relief when I called Maximus and asked for a haircut and they asked me if I had long hair or short hair!! A salon that cares about matching its customers to its stylists?!?! AMAZING!! So, I show up and Mari Ring is my stylist. Mari's got gorgeous long hair of her own, so immediately I know she cares about long hair. She was super personable and answered all my questions about products and styling tips. I've been seeing her ever since!! I grow my hair to elbow-length and then chop it off to give to Locks of Love. I hate it when my hair's short, BUT, when I called Mari and said I wanted a pixie cut, she gave me the best haircut ever! Seriously, people would stop me on the street to tell me how cute the pixie cut looked! She can do long and short hair better than anyone I've let touch my hair before. More recently, my BOSS asked me who I go to because my hair always looks so great! Another co-worker asked me the same thing, and both now go see Mari. read more

I finally found a salon in the southbay instead of having to make the hike to Beverly Hills. After several bad experiences with salons in the Souhtbay, I was finally referred to Leslie from a friend of mine and wow I must say I am very pleased. She did exactly what I asked for because unlike other hairdressers, leslie listens. I have extreme curly hair and she did the Brazilian blowout, my color and highlights plus my haircut all to my liking. read more

Great place for both men and women. I am a loyal customer and five women in my extended family also go to Mitzi.

Vic The Beaut- The Best Hair Stylist ever. For a woman it is really hard to find someone that knows hair... Vic is the expert with hair color/style....Great personality, and handsome too.....I brought my boss to Vic recently and he did an awesome job with her hair.. Perfect color and cut.... If you want to experience different or unique with your hair Vic is the styist I highly recommend.. read more

Lucy was super legit! She did an awesome job on my hair, and she was great to talk to! I will definitely be going back to see her!

I love this place I went in for a consultation with Mary she's AMAZING! Super sweet and friendly my hair was looking horrible and she advised me on what to do to try to fix all the damage my hair already had. she not only fixed it but made look so nice and healthy again just what I wanted from the beginning. read more

Amazing value and great hair cut from Diane. Lots of easy parking close by too. Totally recommend it

Mari Ring is the most talented hair designer I've found, since moving to LA 10 years ago. She's an expert in color. My extensions are helping my own hair to grow, versus pulling my hair out (with other types). Am a licensed cosmetologist. Many kudos to Mari! read more

Michelle has been taking care of my hair for over 9 years now! She has nurtured my hair to healthy! I get compliments all the time on how pretty my hair is. Its a great place to spend a few hours while your hair gets all the attention. Eddie, her husband in the next chair over, is lots of fun and has lovely clients to joke with and say hello to. I introduced him to my boyfriend and now he won't go anywhere else. The other stylists in the salon are friendly and send their clients home looking amazing. I've had my eyebrows done by Cindy and she is always busy painting nails. Its a great place! read more

Maximus Hair Salon is one of the best salon's in the south-bay. Friendly neighborhood vibe. Ed is a creative genius while Michelle is a connoisseur of color, keratin and precision. Highly recommend them both as they are the owners. Prices are amazing and the products they use are organic and of the highest quality. Once you arrive you become family.... read more

This review is for Diana. The most unprofessional person ever. I drove 25 minutes to get to her , only to be informed by her friend that she stepped out for a bit and will be back soon. After waiting 20 minutes , I called her and she said she left because I was late for my appointment. What a shame! Never this salon and never Diana for sure read more

I absolutely love LUCY! She does the best blonde highlights ever! I feel bad because no one ever asks me who does my hair since everyone always compliments me on my beautiful "natural" blonde hair and I never want to correct them :)... That is how good Lucy does with natural blonde highlights, even though I am platinum blonde! She is amazing, I can't say enough good things about her! My hair is the longest it has ever been, she keeps it healthy and beautiful. Thank you again, Lucy, I will never go anywhere else. read more

I am so so so happy with my experience at this place! I got the best haircut since years! I have been getting a lot of complements and feeling great. Now I can see a difference between hair and a hair style. Vic did an outstanding job! The place is very well organized and clean. Definitely will be coming back! Thanks one more time! read more

I found Kym through a friend who has curly hair and I can honestly say that I have FINALLY found someone who "gets" my hair and doesn't destroy it with harsh chemicals when I get it done! She's amazing and Michael is an awesome assistant! I love the way Kym works, she listens then she does what Kym does best: MAGIC! She is a curly hair expert and I am so glad I found her. I always walk out of there feeling wonderful and I get so many compliments because my hair looks so naturally perfect and in place and for a curly hair girl, that's very important. I hope that Kym opens up her own curly hair salon someday - she's the best in the business! And for those of you who are having a hard time getting an appointment with her, get in line and wait your turn - she's worth the wait! ~ Curly Hair Gurl read more

I had a great experience at Maximus. I visited Hermosa Beach for a short vacation and decided to get my hair cut and highlighted. Incredibly friendly staff. Landy did my hair. She is a great listener, and understands how to turn the concept of what you want into the real product of a great cut, color, and styling. The only reason I give it four stars instead of five is because I have only been there once. I am going back, though. So that will be the real test! read more

I'm a pretty deal-conscious person and in these days of Groupons, Cloops, etc., it is sometimes tempting to grab one of those and get a super cheap highlight...BUT I don't! Why? Well, it's because I have found a great, professional color expert in Mari Ring. And the beauty is, her prices are fair too! I have been going to her for a couple years now and it's a comfort to have someone know you, know your hair, just plain knows what she's doing. I have never left the salon disappointed. The salon itself may not be the fanciest one in the area, but I'm a person who doesn't judge a book by the cover. Instead of overpaying at the trendy salon that's probably trying to cover it's decorating costs, go see Mari at Maximus. She's a nice, real person who's enjoyable to talk to for the 2-3 hours that i'm usually there--another bonus. Whether it's a fresh new highlight or simply a good root touch up, she cares about what she's doing, does a great job every time, and doesn't gouge you on the price! Highly recommend! read more

I went into Maximus last Friday after getting the Groupon. Got a great haircut from Mari. I brought in a couple pictures and tried to articulate what I wanted... in the end Mari gave me a great cut that works with my fine hair. Will be back! read more

Fantastic salon!!! Been going here for at least ten years. Ed is the master at hair color. Always perfect results. Parking behind the salon. read more

It honestly takes a lot for me to write a bad review about a person or place but I was so stunned at how Maximus Salon handles their potential clientele. Maybe it was because I purchased a Groupon, or maybe Michelle(part owner) was having a bad day but she was so rude and unhelpful to me when I called to inquire about a stylist who hadn't reached out to me to schedule my appointment. Instead of being understanding and assuring me that she would reach out, she shrugged it off and blamed it on the stylist. Which I'm not sure if she knows this because it sounds like she shouldn't be MANAGING more than her own life(and that's iffy) but reflects poorly on the salon. I would have HAPPILY let her give me a call back in a day or so once she had some answers on when I can come in but no, she didn't care EVEN when I expressed that a bad review was coming her way. Someone who doesn't take pride in their business/work probably shouldn't be in charge of people's appearances because it's obvious they do not care about how they are perceived. I WILL SAY though, that Lucy called me back and apologized because she was "sick"- it took over 2.5 weeks for her to reach out to me, I'm at least thankful GroupOn was understanding and refunded me my money. read more

My mom got a Groupon to get a Brazilian Blowout and went to the salon to get some basic info. Blonde lady that was there at the time was rude and had overall bad attitude when my mom asked basic questions about setting up an appointment and talking to some one to get advice regarding a hair cut. Bad customer service from the start so we decided to get a refund from Groupon and place a complaint with them. Someone in charge talk to that lady and ask her to step up her attitude or they'll go on losing business. read more

I came in as a walk in to this place during the week and got a really great cut for only $45 (about $20 less than neighboring salons). I had Lanny who did a great job and was very precise. Even though I have pretty simple straight hair and always ask for a straight cut, you'd be surprised how many uneven parts I find afterward, but not here. Great attention to detail and very warm and friendly staff. Will be back. read more

Both my boyfriend and myself have been going to Lynn and we are always so happy with what she can do with our hair. She's way in the back and does just what you want!! read more

I came in to see April today with a huge mat of hair. It was disgusting (my hair is super curly.) I told her I wanted it cut short, showed her a few pictures, and left the rest up to her. It looks absolutely incredible; it's the best haircut I've ever received. Thank you! Cannot recommend enough, especially for curly girls. read more

Coming to Maximus and meeting Diana was serendipitous! I bought a Groupon for another stylist at a different salon, but said stylist was very unaccommodating and rude so I had to look for other options. thankfully, i found Diana who was just the opposite--very professional, pleasant and her communication efforts made booking an appointment such an ease. The best part of my experience is that she listens to what her clients want, and that she gets Asian hair! I am well-pleased with the work she did, and I recommend her to anyone who wants a job well done on haircut and coloring. The salon is also very nice, with its bright, open, beachy vibe. Although a receiving area could make the place even better. read more

Diana is amazing! She was very welcoming and engaged in conversation throughout my time there. She did not treat me any different although I was a Groupon client. I have very thick hair so it's hard to find a stylist to know what I like and have the patience with my hair. She cut it in amazing layers and the highlights she does are five stars! I will definitely be seeing her as my regular hair dresser! Thanks Diana! read more

Mari Ring: Color correction, check. Great cut, check. Uh-mazingly happy, check!

I had a Groupon for a haircut by Mari and was able to set up an appointment very easily. When I got there, she took the time to look over the pictures I had brought in and talk about what I was looking for. She wasted no time during the cutting, and I left very happy with my new cut! read more

Krista is excellent! I am male with receding hairline. She gives me a great cut! (My wife really likes her cut, as well.) Very pleased with overall experience. read more

I walked in Maximus Salon to have my first brazilian blow out.I am happy it worked out so well.Great ambience, i can't wait to go back and have my haircut and a nice glass of ice tea.While i have my hair done i am enjoying the great company of the owners always so caring.Great location, easy access, so looking forward next appointment with Lena Styles, yes the one with the biggest smile on her face hard to miss. read more

I recently moved to the neighborhood from Oregon and needed a good stylist. I found one! I spoke with Ed and made an appt. For the next day. He did such an amazing job on my hair! I wanted something really short and fun with lots of layers, and a stylist who's not afraid of using a hair cutting razor. Ed is amazing! He knows hair, and how to cut it to fit your face. I'm stoked I found a hair artist outside of Portland! Because you're only as cool as your hair. And my hair is awesome. Thanks Ed! read more

Mari is one of the most beautiful (inside and out) stylists I have ever had the pleasure of meeting in my long (30 years) hair-coloring life. I have been going to her faithfully every three weeks for the last two years for organic color and even though I don't use Groupons ....nothing would ever tempt me to try anyone else! Mari you rock! read more
