Obsessed is an understatement Genai did an incredible job giving me the thick hair of my dreams I've gained such a confidence boost and I've been getting so many compliments on my hair, which honestly never happened before going to her. She created the perfect bob, and with the extensions it's so full and thick. It looks and moves so naturally you literally can't tell where my hair ends and the extensions start. As someone with really thin hair, I was always nervous about extensions, but she found a way to make them look amazing without putting too much weight or stress on my natural hair. If you've been thinking about getting extensions, this is absolutely the place to go. I couldn't recommend her more! read more

Genai is the most unprofessional hairdresser I have ever encountered. As tears were running down my face because I was concerned that my hair was getting shorter than I wanted, she insulted me, mocked me for being upset, and dismissed my concerns instead of showing even the most basic level of professionalism or compassion. Rather than taking a moment to communicate with me, she told me to leave before my haircut was even finished. I walked out with an uneven, unfinished haircut and was left shocked by how I was treated. No client should ever be humiliated for expressing concern about their own hair. The haircut is awful left uneven and The treatment was far worse! read more

Genai gave me the most seamless K-tip extensions I've ever had and an effortlessly cool shag that somehow makes my hair look fuller, lighter, and more interesting all at once. I've been navigating postpartum regrowth, which can be... humbling, and she blended everything so beautifully that you truly cannot tell where my natural hair ends and the extensions begin. It looks like my hair, just better. She has such a strong eye for shape and movement. The shag has that undone, modern edge without feeling over-styled. You can tell she has impeccable taste and real technical skill. She works out of a salon and her own suite, and both spaces are warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully styled. The vibe is relaxed but elevated. You feel taken care of and cool at the same time. Truly one of those stylists you want to gatekeep but also need to brag about. read more

Pretty Up Salon - After! - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Fernando Valley, California

I have been going to Genai for cuts for some time now because she gives me the best haircut I've ever had every single time, and she is also so easy to talk to, really listens to her clients, and I always leave happy. I recently went to Genai for K-tip extensions, and I am SO glad I did. I am extremely impressed- I have never had extensions look and feel this good. They are light, easy to style, and they look completely natural. I've always had fine hair, but I had been noticing my hair getting thinner in the last few years, so I got the K-tips for extra volume and fullness, and I am so glad I did because they look amazing! Genai did an incredible job making them undetectable, even to me! They're light, they don't put tension on the hair, and unlike clip-ins, they are so easy to style or throw into a ponytail. They make me feel so much more confident and just a few pieces can make such a huge difference in how your hair looks. I'll definitely be going back to get them again. Highly recommend going to Genai for K-tips if you want your fine hair to look fuller! read more

My teenage sons and I have been going for haircuts with Genai Canale. She owns two, WeFolk and Prelocations. We usually get our curly hair cut at the Pretty up location. I have very curl hair she always cuts it dry and never too short.

Genai is easy to talk to and does a fantastic job every time. read more

Genai is THE best I've already recommended her to three other girlfriends! She knows exactly what she's doing and I trust her whole heartedly! Genai is an expert and completely understands what I'm asking for even when I can't properly explain it. Hahha I've had curtain bangs before and she is the only hairdresser that I've had, who actually cuts them the right way AND taught me how to style them. She completely understands different hair textures and makes recommendation based on what you want, but also what you NEED because of your hair type. I will 1000% most definitely continue to go to Genai read more

Pretty Up Salon - Men's Cut - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Fernando Valley, California

As you can see, I have fine hair and have always battled with making my hair fuller and longer without it (obviously looking) like I added extensions or a hair piece. I can rock a short hair cut, but I don't want to right now. I have had extensions a lot in my life and Genai's work is the best. She is a master colorist and her understanding of how your existing hair is colored (i.e. the bottom is usually lighter) really seals the deal of your hair extensions being virtually undetectable. She matches your hair with multiple samples so that the end result is fuller longer hair and a perfect color. Genai also cuts the hair into yours to accommodate the style you're going for. I've had some extensions where the ends of the hair look like a broom or that I can see where my real hair ends and the extensions start. Even Britney Spears has had real bad hair extensions, she should have reached out to Genai. You won't be disappointed if you dream of having thicker longer hair, Genai will make your hair dreams come true. read more
