Had you gone above and beyond for that as an owner this review wouldn't be this. Just some food for thought. Be transparent. And fix your roof. Oh and my stylist name is Jamie.

The salon is clean, bright, airy, comfortable, and has a laid-back vibe. The music is always great, the staff is extremely friendly, and there are refreshments available. The restrooms are clean and in great condition. I love the plants throughout the salon and the personal touches such as the neon "Be Excellent to Each Other" sign. My hairstylist, Dina, gives me the best cut and color of my life. Every time I leave I know that my hair looks the best it can, and my color is gorgeous. My color also consistently fades out in a way that looks intentional between coloring, and remains vibrant for many weeks. I've never been happier with my hair. I've also seen other stylists for blowouts between visits and every stylist has been great. Karla cut my niece's hair and was wonderful with her. You can book online, and you can text with the receptionist if you have to change your appointment which is great. The only downside is that there's no dedicated parking, which isn't their fault and I've never had a problem. Just be careful if you go on a street sweeping day.

In short, my mother, a seasoned hair stylist, had always been my go-to for hair care. However, when circumstances led me to seek a stylist in Los Angeles, I discovered Rachel. From the moment I made my appointment, I was astounded. Rachel's expertise not only produced stunning color but also utilized techniques that safeguarded my hair from damage. The meticulous attention to detail left me thoroughly impressed. Without a doubt, I'll continue to place my trust in Rachel for the long haul, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional hair care--she's truly a gem! read more

As someone who's been dying their hair blonde for years and has been to many different stylists, she's at the top of the list. Dying your hair blonde, let alone the perfect blonde, is not an easy color to get, keep up or care for. I tend to carry a lot of red in my hair, so blonde on me, can get VERY brassy. Never have I experienced this with Jill. She always nails it. The truth, leaving an appointment with Jill is an ego boost every time. I've never had so many compliments on my hair as I have in her care. So thank you, Jill. I can't thank you enough for always taking such good care of me.

This guy is definitely a hair artist. He is someone who will tell you what he thinks will look good on you. I asked him to cut off a couple of inches, but he refused because he thought I would look too much like a soccer mom lol. He pumped up the volume of the music and went straight to it.
