Summary of Fifi almost ruining my day & holiday, costing me a whole day of work: 1) She violates Title 17 Section 50540. 2) She claimed my shoulder length hair with 1-inch roots could not get full highlights - but a complicated correction. When I politely said "I promise, even if it is not perfect," I won't be upset, I won't leave a bad review, she grunts and is offended saying "oh haha I don't care if you leave a bad review....I know I am the best......," also defensively saying loudly. "Don't put words in my mouth, I never said it's not going to be perfect! Everything I do is perfect." What? She just said "full head" won't give me a reasonable result (she laughed that the 10 reference photos of shades I like (anything in that range, I am flexible with). She said these celebrity hair colors are beneath her. 3) After denying me service, though I said "please, my husband cancelled work, he drove me here for 40min," I walked up to a different professional & said "I would like full head highlights,"and her and four other stylists later said I ONLY NEEDED PARTIAL, though I was willing to pay for FULL, while grifter FIFI said full was not enough! I was stranded, my spouse already drove home & I walked around till 4pm till I was able to find an availabe colorist (week before Xmas). I said "do anything" - they did partial and it turned out great & actually cheaper than Fifi's $250 Groupon (though Fifi did cost me damages as I only got Groupon Bucks in return after 40min in the chat, I have no use for them, I was reluctant to use the app in the first place). Also bless the other hair colorist at Salon Republic, who was honest (unlike Fiona) & said I needed less, but she was booked and she recommended GREEN STREET, it's the Mecca of hair salons with more reasonable prices where a 20% tip is not offensive. Ah, I can only imagine Fifi would have scolded the $50 cash I had for her (I wasted 30min in the am to get it). I will leave 4 good reviews for the people who tried to help me and felt sorry for me when I told them about Fifi's SCAM. But in case FIFI wonders why she is my 1st review here....I am scared of her (too bad cause she is stunning on the outside, mesmerizing, but toxic on the inside). I think she could track me down and retaliate. I wonder what happened to this artist (you are not allowed to use the word hair stylist -- or she'll say you 0ffend her ( that caused her to have somuch hate in her heart ? Or is it pure narcissism & arrogance (she stresses that the stylists around her are beneath her & don't have respective merit, she is the only person in the world who understands hair,she proclaims) ? There was the bizarre desire to cause put "a client," a stranger that she does not know anything about (in terms of background, life experiences, character) down. Or maybe it is classism, since in 5min she repeated how superior she is to anybody in the world? So the fact that I had a $250 Groupon made her think of me as a peasant? She said I had no agency/ capacity to participate in the decision-making and know ANYTHING about hair (despite having had highlights done for a decade). She said I KNOW ZERO. This person, at this moment in her life has ZERO EMPATHY, at least for fellow human beings, although she did not welcome me as an equal, but belittled me from the second I walked in - reminded me of my bullies in school. She is the epitome of the "Mean Girls Club" -- except she may not even have fellow Mean Girls around her, as she in her mind, deserves a throne. I did bow down to her when entering her suite (I tend to nod out of respect), yet she scolded my abiltiy. I had an ACCIDENT that makes me hesitant of SQUEEZING hands, plus lately people wear masks, some are scared of handshakes, so I extended my hand GENTLY to see if she even wanted to touch it- WOW, I was scolded for 3min how my handshake makes me a lesser human. Well, then she grunts if I found the place easily. I was out of breath running up the stairs so I tried to make a light-hearted joke that it's a bit "of a maze" (I smiled -as I felt bad for being 2 minutes "late"?) I literally was walking up the stairs at 10:30, I even took a photo to have as reference, I got to her door at 10:32, maybe when the clock was turning 10:33 (despite 2 big accidents on the 134Highway ) ....she rolls her eye in a BRUSQUE way scolding me how I probably did not read her parking instruction....I said my husband dropped me off.....ok I am drifting of but literally anything I said, she tried to "snap back at me." After I said we cancelled work, I followed instructions, created a Vagooro profile to book her appt, I highlighted it was a Groupon, so she is prepared, I was kicked out almost in tears & she yelled sth when I exited. 30 min later, she passed me in the lobby (I was leaning over my phone struggling to get a refund), she just catwalked out of there with a belittling eye / shoulder roll. If she had truly believed I needed more than highlights, she'd say sorry. read more

Fiona is the only hairstylist I have done a repeat hair service for as long as I can remember!! Her attention and care for high quality work has kept me coming back for MORE! I came across her when she was still at Union Salon. I was one of her first post COVID client. She definitely took me by surprise with her techniques and care. She takes into consideration of your hair texture, face shape, style, and skin tone to make a perfect balayage that is completely instagrammable and beautiful work of art. I was very satisfied with the beautiful blends of color that melts smoothly into my natural hair color. Had a lot of compliments about my hair over the last few months. If you want to revamp your look & style, look no further. She's also very personable and is very fun to talk to so that's a major PLUS! read more

I don't know about you all, but I'm the kind of person that once i find a hairstylist I keep them FOREVER. Since moving to California, I've had a difficult time finding someone until I was serviced by Fifi. I don't normally make promises and I certainly wouldn't for something as relative as a haircut, but Fifi DELIVERS. Here's what you can expect: - White glove service like beverage offerings - Ensuring comfort at all times (i.e., need a pillow, temperature okay, etc.) - Fantastic conversation - Education and awareness to what she was doing - Asking questions before making decisions - Quality and organic products - Attention to detail I received a minor trim/haircut and full hair balayage and styling. The balayage is the best I've ever had. If it wasn't obvious ya'll, Fifi is one bad-ass woman. GO THERE NOW. read more

I had a great experience at this salon. The salon itself is clean and inviting. The person who works the front desk is attentive and very welcoming. Fiona took my drab and sad haircut and completely turned it around. She has a great eye, is knowledgeable about different types of hair textures, and is a master at her craft. I love my hair again and will definitely be returning. read more

So I was looking for a hair stylist who would help me with a hair cut to define my curls. I was also looking for some curl education because I want to wear my hair naturally. I turned to yelp to help me find someone that would listen and actually hear that I wanted to wear my natural curls. Yelp narrowed down my choices and I reached out to many stylists and salons. Fiona was the only one to actually message me back something other than " here is my website/ phone number book an appointment". Fiona expressed that she would love to help educate me on my curls. She was also the quickest one to respond. Making the appointment was so easy and I was able to do it on her website. Upon arriving finding the entrance to the parking structure was sort of difficult but that was because a garbage truck was blocking the entrance. After circling back around, the garbage truck left and I was able to go into the structure. The entrance of the parking structure is next to the Metro PCS store. The parking structure is only one level so be careful if you go to the 2nd row because you will have to turn around. Once you park head to the front of the building on Orange Grove Blvd. and call Fiona, she will come down and open the door to let you in. Fiona's shop is on the third floor and it is just her. Everything is laid out beautifully and she has robes to wear once you come inside. She has a large window that has a gorgeous view of the Sierra Madre mountain range. Fiona has thought of everything to relax you while she works on your hair. She has tea, coffee, and a bar cart with alcoholic drinks. I thought this was a nice touch and added to the lovely esthetic. Fiona helped explain to me what I needed to do to keep my curls looking beautiful and soft. She helped me create my curl routine and I love the results! She took her time and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Fiona is very personable and the entire time we talked and had a good time. Even though she was chatting with me, her attention to detail was impeccable. Not one thing out of place and the end result was wonderful. She is ultimately amazing and if you are like me and starting your curl journey then come to Fiona and she will make everything amazing. read more

She puts her heart and soul in her work. read more
