I love this place. They know exactly what I want and cut my hair perfectly. It's always so calming and peaceful in the salon and I love how the owner and wife are a duo. She washes my hair, and nobu will cut it. I love it! So cute! read more

Walked in on a random Thursday at 4pm for a simple trim, there was not a line and no wait. I went go sign my name in the check-in book and the woman simply said "sorry no new customers we're too busy." I proceeded to ask if there was a better date/time to come back and she kept repeating "no new customers." Horrible client service and so rude. I then asked if it would be weeks or months until new customers would be accepted, again no answer. Would not recommend this place to anyone. If I could give negative stars I would. read more

Nobu is an oldie but goodie. Nobu has been at it for years and he has become a solid westwood establishment like the car wash up the street. He started at one of these generic hair salons and opened his own shop after getting a solid clientele base. I've got my daughter, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and cousin going to him. Pros- he is very skilled at layers, can provide a fast cut, and is reasonably priced. Cons- they don't take appointments so be prepared to come either at an off time, or to wait. Also, every now and again I will go and the layers will feel off. Still, despite the occasinal inconsistency, he is good and is why I drive down from Northridge for his services. read more

I waited so long for my hair to grow and then to go get long Layers. I told him don't cut more than 1 inch and he basically chopped off half of my hair. there was no point for me to complain there because he did what he did already and there was no going back. If you love your hair. This is not the place. besides 30 few hours of waitand they don't let you sit inside or if you wanna take your child and you wanna put up their name they don't let you do that and they say your child needs to be there when you are writing down their names. read more

Nobu gives the best haircuts I could ever ask for! He's a master of layers at any length, I always get compliments after getting haircuts from him! Not to mention he's beyond reasonably priced in today's economy. Bring cash though, he's cash only and first come first serve (no appointments). That might sound like a huge inconvenience to some, but to me it's a small inconvenience in exchange for his work and I'll be coming back over and over again! read more

Horrible service and snobby. Even if the haircut is okay I don't recommend giving them your business

I would give this place negative stars if I could. They discriminate and are extremely rude. They keep saying something different every time I try to go. Don't waste your time, steer clear of this place! read more

I saw an employee let a customer in around 9:30 in the morning on a Sunday and I noticed the nail salon and merely wanted to inquire about their hours and if they were open and she refused to even greet me and just kept walking away very, very rude and they could have gained a new customer, but with the way she greeted me I will pass. I think my complexion was a bit too dark for her the way she acted. read more

Poor customer service, rude, unprofessional, and too entitled. The wife who takes the names down thinks she is running the White House. You can't put your name down for your child apparently, and if you come a little early, you can't sit inside and has to wait outside. Like who makes these rules? Today when my name was the next one on the list, she said another 45 minutes of wait. I said but my name is next and she said no it is what it is and another 45 minutes of wait. So bad and rude to treat customers and children like that. read more

My favorite place in LA for haircut! There is always a good feeling coming out of this place :) Nobu is amazing! read more

If the wife is there RUN. she is SOOO rude and so disrespectful. i have never been treated so poorly in my life. they don't deserve the business they get read more

Highly recommend Nobuuu. Great haircut! He's courteous, efficient and fast. Stopped by during my lunch, got a wash, cut and blow-dry in 30min. read more

Every time I leave Nobuuuu's salon, I say to myself: WOW. he is amazing. Extremely affordable & super talented hair cut/blow dry. Respects the length you want to cut your hair to and is a wizard at layering. No appointments--first come, first serve. Not bad at all to wait since he is super fast and can finish a wash, cut, and dry in under 30 minutes. I usually go to the bakery next door to kill time. Hours are 9am-5pm from Monday-Friday, 9am-6pm Saturday, and closed on Sundays. Do yourself a favor and check Nobu out ASAP. read more

The main guy who cuts/styles hair, i guess his name is Nobu? is amazing and so underrated. they don't take appointments so that makes people assume that it's a long wait, but i've never waited more than 15 min, even on a saturday at 1pm. he is quick, his work is amazing, he gave me a cut with layers, blowout and curls that were gorgeous. been here a few times before too and every time i leave so happy! highly recommended! read more

Nobuuuu Salon - cut, blowout and curls by nobu - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Rude and disrespectful woman at the front. She told me that they we're not accepting any new clients.

This business stinks. Walk ins are not welcome. They don't take appointments by phone. They don't even answer their phone. We drove 30 minutes here for a female's birthday haircut. They had one customer there. Without looking up they said 'we are too busy, no new customers'. Pretty jerky behavior. I think this is my first negative review on Yelp. I avoid focusing on negative and believe most small businesses do the best they can. I have no indication that this place is worthy of your business. Go somewhere else. You will find quality professionals elsewhere. Don't try going here. We will never try going here again. read more

Nobuuuu Salon - Rotten people's business. - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Wow, Great haircut for a phenomenal price. This place is perfect for me. Thanks

I love every haircut at Nobu. He has top notch skill and focuses on providing the best service and outcome. It's walk in only and need to write your name down and come back when they call you. It's worth it and I will keep coming back. Thank you Nobu!! read more

Amazing skills and energy. Highly recommend. Always a great experience. Arigato Nobu!!!

Nobu is such a great hairstylist. I was just here and had him do round long layers and he listened to exactly what i wanted. I definitely will be coming back and bringing my mom with me next time cause she's always searching for a good haircut read more

I have been going to Nobu for 5 years. In short, he's the best. Always delivers exactly what you want done, always does it fast but never to sacrifice quality. And lastly, he's very well priced. Have recommended him to a ton of my friends. read more

Nobuuuu is the best I've been going here for years. His wife is also terrific. Great walk in salon highly recommend it.

I've been getting my hair cut here for years. I've never been disappointed. Even if there are other customers waiting, he takes his time and always asks if I am happy with the result before finishing up read more

Love Nobu salon for great haircuts and very courteous staff. Clean environment and convenient parking with validation.

Horrible, rude and unprofessional first impression! I walked in with my teenage daughter asking the lady for an appointment for her. She barely acknowledged us and said we don't have any time today. No problem, how about tomorrow? She said nothing available for tomorrow. Next week, next month? No appointments in 2022!!!??? You get the idea!!! No one sitting in the waiting room and all salon chairs were not full! I got the impression she was either biased towards our olive skin or just an outright rude person. The gentleman who apparently was the owner and cutting hair seemed unfazed by her rude behavior, so I would say it's the culture of how they run the place. My daughter was so upset almost in tears and tugged my shirt whispering let's go. we were both in shock by that behavior and we walked out. I have never given a one star but honestly they don't deserve even one star! I'm a small business owner myself and always support small businesses and local merchants but facing such rude people is beyond my comprehension. Never seen anything like it before, no matter how good they might be which I seriously doubt, there is absolutely no excuse for such behavior. Stay away and take your business elsewhere that appreciates clients and values a good service that is beneficial to both party. read more

I heard of nobu through many friends who get their hair cut from nobu. The owner is serious and quiet . He is very busy on weekend with long. I got a haircut from him . I'm sort of satisfied . He listened to what I want my cut to be the only problem was my back and front didn't connect well. His prices are reasonable parking plenty. Sunday and Monday closed. read more

Nobuuuu Salon - Exterior of the shop - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Sei at Nobuuu has been cutting my family members and my hair for countless years. He is incredible for both men and women! Precise, caring, and always somehow delivers the exact look we want. I always leave happy! read more

I highly recommend getting a haircut from Mr. Sei! He is very knowledgeable of knowing how to cut different ethnicity hair and takes his time cutting. Im half black and Japanese and have very puffy hair but he knows what hes doing. read more

This place is a bit weird because they told me they only do walk ins when I called, but asked me if I had an appointment when I got there. There was one person in front of me so I only waited for about half an hour. It was my first time here so they put me with Nobu. His assistant is really nice and friendly and we chatted when she washed my hair. However, the chair/basin was so uncomfortable! There was a hard spot on the back of my head and neck area when I lied down. I could not find a better position no matter how I shifted. That spot was sore for a day after my visit. I am not that impressed with my haircut either because I asked for layers and Nobu didn't do much in that respect. He just left the layers I already had (which grew out and that's why I came here) and only trimmed the hair in the front/around my face. They only charge $22 for women's haircut, but you would be leaving the salon with wet hair. If they blow dries it for you, then the price is around $36 (i forgot how much exactly). A huge plus for this salon is that is has validated parking. The parking lot is on Westwood, south of the salon. It makes parking so much easier. read more

I love this place and I love him! Yes, you wait for a while and yes they may not always answer their phones... The haircut is like $23 people!!! And it's a great cut!! It's not the service you get when you go to a high-end salon, but you also aren't paying as much either so get over it. Oh, and I am of european decent and I haven't been treated badly.... The way it works for EVERYONE::: No appointments! You go in, sign your name up on a list and when your name is next, you get your hair cut. Simple as that. If there is a wait, you can leave for a bit and go get coffee, etc., so maybe that's why people think they are getting mistreated? They don't know how the salon works?? read more

Called three times and no one picked up. When I walked in they said they aren't accepting new clients :)

I don't normally write Yelp reviews, but I knew had to take the time to write about this hairstylist I have been going to for a few years now. True, he does not answer the phone (this was also a thing pre-COVID), and not knowing if he was still working or not, I decided to show up this past Monday night and luckily, Nobu was there! Before I go into his hair-cutting skills, I'd like to point out his golden character. It warmed my heart to see Nobu rush to help walk his elderly client out the door and bring him a chair to sit on while he waited for his ride to come. I didn't even mind that Nobu took a couple breaks while washing my hair to check on the man. So sweet. As an introvert, I also appreciate that Nobu isn't so chatty. This sets him apart from most hairstylists I've been to. And of course, the quality of his work is beautiful and precise. He always gets my approval before cutting a certain amount, and I am always pleased before leaving his salon. I made sure to give him a nice tip during my last visit, and I Iook forward to my next haircut with him. read more

4.5 stars rounded up. I have gotten my highlights and haircuts from Nami twice. My hair is thick, and it tends to weigh down and makes the top of my head flat. Nami does wonders with her cuts and layering, and now I can have long hair with volume on top. I am quite picky when it comes to stylists, and I've gone to many, but Nami is one of the best. I also took my toddler son for a haircut by Nami, and it wasn't as satisfactory because my son still had hair covering the top 1/3 of his ears, and I had to trim it myself at home. read more

As soon as I walked in, they saw my brown complexion and decided to reiterate the fact they were "extremely busy" constantly. Not one person was in the salon and as soon as I walked in they kept extending their wait time as if they wanted me to tire out and leave. As soon as it was almost my turn to get a haircut (after an hour) they had "forgotten" that there were "other customers" prior to me. I never ended up getting my hair cut and I lost almost two hours of my time. This is one of the worst run establishments I've ever witnessed and Nobu (the owner) is completely and blatantly racist. I hope no one comes here read more

Nobu has been cutting my hair for the past 10 years. Even though I moved...I still come back for him to do my hair. I seriously won't let anyone touch my hair. He's the best and he's awesome at hair cuts!!! He only does walk ins but as you will notice.. he gets a ton of clients everyday so sometimes you may have to wait up to 2 hrs... dont worry, hes right next to the mall =) read more

I've been going to Nobu for years and don't know why I haven't left a review yet. He is the best hairstylist and extremely sweet. He can be intimidating at first because he doesn't talk much, but it's because he's focused on what he's doing. You can tell Nobu genuinely loves cutting hair. Yes, there can be a long wait at times but just try to go midweek during the day or right before the salon closes (around 6PM?). He's talented and will listen to exactly what you want. You won't regret it! read more

Haircuts are okay but first of all they are not clean and then they are so rude also!! So many places that are comparable and yet friendly!

Best ‍ in town! I have long thick hair and I'm very particular about my cuts. Nobuuuu always does a fantastic job!

I had always wanted to color my hair ash brown. Once, I went to a hair salon on Abbot kinney, and was told that it would cost $600 because ash brown was a difficult color for asian hair and it would take 3 appointments every month to reach my desired color. It was over my budget, so I gave up :( A few weeks ago, I finally decided to do it. Molly was my stylist. I came in without any pictures and she talked with me for a while to find out what I wanted, my hair type, and about my daily activities, I go to the beach often because I do marine sports, which means NO bleach.. or something. From that she found what would work best for my hair. Before she started, she explained that it would be slightly red-ish brown at the first step, and to make it look green-ish ash brown I better have highlights. When she started I saw she was completely right!! At first, my hair was a little bit red-ish brown as she had told me. And then, I had highlights, which were so natural and made my hair exactly the way I wanted. I left the salon totally satisfied :) It's difficult to find a good hairstylist but I'm so lucky that I finally found one. It's been a few weeks, but the color has not faded at all and my hair is still silky. If you're looking for an experienced and skilled hairsylist, Molly is the one. Call and make an appointment today!! read more

They are all so weird. I walked in at 3:45 and the lady told me I had to wait an hour and a half so I waited by going out and doing other things. When I came back there were 2 people after me and they took those 2 people before me. I waited there until 5:00pm and then took another person. They kept saying wait wait and never got to me. It is very rude and unprofessional to keep someone waiting that long. I will never step foot here again and no one shouldnwitg that kind of service. read more
