I've been seeing Mitra for about a year now and she always kills it! I love being a blonde but I…read morealso like to experiment with different variations of blonde and Mitra always makes it happen. She listens to me, looks at my inspo, and offers her professional opinion. She's also incredibly fast and kind. She's done a full head of highlights, cut & blow out in a few short hours. She's an artist and a friend. Thank you, Mitra!! The vibe of the whole salon is really friendly and welcoming. I always enjoy my time here. Easy parking across the street and a nice selection of beverages.

When I made my appointment at Miakel Bishay Salon, I specifically requested to be paired with…read moresomeone experienced in cutting long bobs because I knew the style I wanted required skill and precision. I wanted a shorter bob in the back and longer in the front. Since this salon is expensive, I trusted that I would be in professional hands. Unfortunately, my experience with Mitra Jam was extremely disappointing and honestly devastating. The first time she cut my hair, it did not look anything like the haircut I asked for. When I explained that I did not like how it looked, she cut even more trying to "fix" it, and it ended up way too short while still not looking like the style I wanted. I also mentioned that I wanted some volume removed from my hair, but instead of blending it properly, she started cutting random chunks throughout my hair. Now, weeks later, I still have pieces sticking out that are barely about an inch long. There is no way to blend them or style them naturally. I literally have to use gel just to keep those pieces down because they stick out everywhere. I truly believe that if someone is not experienced or confident doing a certain type of haircut, they should not perform it. It is honestly unbelievable to pay this much money and leave with your hair completely ruined. Despite everything, she was kind and told me that if I wanted her to fix anything, I could come back. But realistically, she cannot uncut my hair. I normally do not leave negative reviews, but this experience genuinely affected me and I would not want someone else to go through the same thing.

Grace gave me one of the best haircuts I have ever had…read more The appointment took a bit longer than usual, but you could see why. She paid close attention to every section and never rushed a single step. Her level of detail stood out right away. I have never had someone work with such precision and care. She used scissors almost the entire time instead of relying on clippers like most barbers do. That approach made a huge difference in the final result. The cut looks clean, balanced, and natural. If you want a stylist who focuses on quality and takes pride in her work, book with Grace. You will see the difference.

I had a fantastic hair appointment with Nancy. Let me get…read moreinto the details... I had booked her last year around November/December, but I totally kept changing dates due to just having a very busy work/mom schedule. Well the time came and Nancy was so kind to remind me about my appointment. I finally was free and went ahead and got my hair done. It came out soooooo amazing! So many compliments too. When I walked into the salon one the hairdressers greeted me warmly and guided me to sit where Nancy normally works with her clients. I felt really warm vibes immediately. Once Nancy arrived (I arrived extra early) she began her magic. But during the process, the gentle approach and her attentive ability to communicate and lather my hair gently sold me. Usually you're used to being splashed here and there, well my experience with other hair dressers. I was surprised I didn't get much water in my ears which is a problem for me since I have ear sensitivity and I'm just used to getting ready and embracing for the worse. I didn't get a wet back at all and I didn't feel rushed ever. I felt very comfortable and welcomed. Do you know how hard it is to find a hair dresser with great hospitality service? Yeah this one is a gem. I really recommend stopping by or booking with Nancy. 1000/1000.

Alan absolutely nailed what I was looking for: a long haircut that keeps the length but still looks clean, intentional, and put together. It's not easy to pull that off, but he clearly knows how to shape long hair so it moves well and doesn't feel heavy or sloppy. Walked out feeling dialed in and refreshed. Highly recommend Alan if you want someone who actually listens, knows their craft, and makes the whole experience enjoyable.

Over the years, she has color-corrected my hair, dyed a pink money piece for me, done beautiful highlights, and most recently brought me back to my natural color. Through every transformation, she has taken incredible care of my hair and kept it healthy and damage-free. I always leave the salon feeling confident and refreshed. Agi consistently delivers exactly what I ask for, no matter the length or style, and somehow it turns out even better than I imagined. Her skill, attention to detail, and dedication truly set her apart. In addition, the other hairdressers at the salon are extremely warm and welcoming to every client who walks in, which makes the entire experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Agi, for all you've done over the years. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair!

We found Scott through his incredible Yelp reviews and instantly had a good feeling. We booked an appointment, and from the moment we walked into his studio, we knew we made the right choice. Scott is the ultimate professional, warm, approachable, and incredibly collaborative. He immediately asked if we had any inspiration photos and took the time to talk through what would work best for my son's face shape and hair texture. Not only did he validate our choice, he elevated it. You could feel his experience and passion in every step of the process. The haircut turned out fantastic. My son walked out feeling confident and totally transformed, in the best way. Scott's attention to detail and easygoing nature made it such an enjoyable experience from start to finish. We also loved his studio. It's filled with character and creativity, with walls adorned in surf and skate photography and beautifully displayed skateboard art. It felt like stepping into a curated slice of Southern California culture, which only added to the good vibes. Scott even suggested that my son's long hair could be donated to Locks of Love, which made the whole experience even more meaningful. I honestly can't say enough nice things about Scott. If you're looking for a stylist who is not only skilled and professional, but also kind, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in your vision, look no further. We're already excited to come back and recommend him to everyone we know.
