All I have to say is FARAH is the best. Overall awesome salon. Great parking, clean, friendly front staff, chic decor. I have been going to Farah for years at a different location. She does miracles and actually listens to what you want. No more asking for a half an inch cut and going home crying because the hair stylist took off 3 inches-girls you know it happens all the time. If you want color and highlights she's your girl. read more

My daughter and I are repeat customers to Profiles for the past 5 years. The salon is very clean and everyone has always been very nice. We have had our hair cut by Christine, Cheryl and Alfred, all are very good. My daughter decided she wanted a Balayage color. Alfred delivered exactly what she wanted and she walked out a very happy and satisfied customer. Come prepared and have a picture of what you want, you won't be disappointed. Thanks Alfred!! read more

Cheryl Forbis is the most rude and unprofessional hairstylist I have ever had the unfortunate experience of meeting. I had been going to her for over a year every week for my style and sometimes also a haircut. Because the prices at Profiles salon for color and perms are a la carte, and are so expensive and not within my budget, I had to go to another stylist for my color and perms which were a lot more reasonably priced for me. I wasn't satisfied with my haircolor as I thought the other stylist made the color of my roots a different shade. I just needed 2 minutes of Cheryl's time to get her professional opinion so that I could go back to the other stylist to get the color corrected. The other stylist also said I needed another perm which I just had a few months ago. Therefore, I needed Cheryl's opinion as to whether I really needed another perm. The receptionist, Paulina, scheduled me to come in to see Cheryl for the 2 minutes I needed. When I called to confirm the appt. Cheryl then abrasively and caustically brushed me off and said she cannot see me at all and referred me back to the stylist that colored my hair. I said I don't understand why Paulina said I can come in and now you're making yourself unavailable? I felt very upset and disrespected by her yelling at me and just brushing me off. My voice probably was raised a little bit because I felt so angry that she wasn't giving me a measly 2 minutes of her time. I did apologize for raising my voice which happens when I get angry. I had a scheduled appt. for this coming Saturday 2/10/17 for a style. Cheryl called me today and said she was taking me off the schedule and that I should find another salon and stylist. She was not accommodating to me at all and very unkind and rude! I am terribly disappointed in the shabby way she treated me. Terrible customer service! read more

My stylist is Farah, She's colored, permed and styled my hair for years. One of my first experiences with Farah was when I wanted a perm, I have medium length hair and I felt I needed a little body so I requested the larger rollers since my hair takes very well to perms. Other hair stylist in the past would not listen to me and they would use the smaller rollers and I would hate my hair for months!. Farah really listened to me when I explained my hair history and used the larger rollers and styled my waving hair and the results were fabulous!!! Finally, I found the perfect stylist!!!!. If you're looking for a hair stylists who will listen to you and also provide you with great hair options/styles then give Farah a try. read more

I must say us women have a hard time trying a new Hair dresser, but when I came across this full service salon called Profiles in Northridge, I was amazed by the energy and positive feeling when I walked in. I was greeted by the owner Arpi who listened to my concerns and reassured me that she could help me out. She did an amazing job, my hair looked and felt so good and I was hooked. Now I not only get my hair done but I also love the fact that I can get my facials, eyebrows and nails done all in one place. Michelle dose an amazing job on eyebrows!!! Don't like to be Twezed well with Michelle you don't even feel it. Thanks Profiles and thank you Arpi for making me feel and look beautiful. read more

Janine is the best. She is by far the best colorist out there and I've been to many. She really cares about your hair and does a good job every time. She's also one of my favorite people. Nice atmosphere at this salon. If you're looking for a new stylist call Janine you won't be disappointed. read more

I love Profiles Salon! I have been coming to get my hair done by Arpi since I was 13 years old, so its been 8 years. I love the great customer service that I have received over the phone and when I come into the salon. The salon environment is very positive and the salon is always clean. Arpi knows the ends and outs of hair and products so I'm always purchasing product. I will continue to get my hair done by Arpi. read more

Robin is AMAZING when it comes to hair cuts, colors & styling. I had gone to some place back home in Vegas, where the lady cut my hair all wrong! I had asked for some layers, and she just started using a razor everywhere. My hair had no layers, it looked so uneven. When I came in, Robin said it was an easy fix. I got a cut and color from her. I'm always a little nervous when I get my hair done, not knowing if I'll like it or not, or saying to cut an inch and normally having it look like four. She started off with the highlighting of my hair. She's such a wonderful young woman! Very loving, and easy to carry a conversation with. (We all know it's awkward to just sit there). During the 2 hours I was there, she asked me several times if she could get me anything such as water, coffee. I LOVE that she offers.. most places I've gone too, I've had to ask for it. Then came time for my rinse. Talk about RELAXATION! She washed out my hair and massaged my head for a good 10 min. She'll definitely give you the proper hair care that you pay for. When it came time to cut my hair, I wanted her to take an inch off so I can keep my hair long. A little nervous thinking it might be more, she was very careful with that, and kept my length! She ONLY took off what I asked to remove. Then, she added layers to my hair. She had given me a 3 step layer since the lady before her had messed it up. My hair looked AMAZING! I was so happy and beyond satisfied!! Between my cut, color, service and style, I won't go to anyone else but Robin. Next time you come here, make an appointment with her. TRUST ME. You won't be let down!! read more

Christine is AAAAAmazing. I'd bounced around from salon to salon for years before a good friend recommended I go see her. I have tons of hair & if it's not cut well then it becomes a nightmare - unruly & frizzy, but she has been able to tame the beast. She listens to everything I want but more importantly executes it perfectly and somehow ALWAYS manages to keep my length even though we both know I need to cut more than I ask. Her color is on point (I've been highlighted blond- blond, BLOND even though I have dark brown hair) and her attention to detail is unparalleled. It's been 2 years now and and not once have I walked away feeling unsatisfied and anything less than pretty. Go see her NOW! read more

I've been going to Darlene at Profiles Salon for years for style and color and she's amazing. Recently I asked for a straightening treatment and she recommended the Kerasilk Gold 300. My hair is normally very frizzy and super curly and this treatment made my hair silky straight and easy to manage. The great thing about this treatment is you don't lose the volume in your hair and you can easily style it. I highly recommend this treatment, this salon and of course Darlene who is not only great at what she does, but one of the kindest people you'll ever meet! read more

i have been here 2x and i am very happy with this salon. a coworker of mine has some of the nicest hair. i asked her where she got it done and by whom. she said cheryl from profiles. i came in the first time with pictures of hair i liked and she did a great job. at first i was in shock of my hair because i usually just keep it down, straight, even, with no style. after a day, i loved it. i took a picture so that i could remember how it looked lolz. everyone loved my hair. the second time i came back was initially just for a deep conditioning and a trim. my hair is beyond damaged because i dye it (im too poor to get it professionally dyed anymore) once a month. cheryl mentioned cutting it a lot more but i trusted her that it would still be "long" just a way to remove some hair that was felt like rope when i would let it dry naturally. i loved how my hair look after, and because she knows i love products, she showed me and put on me a lot of great products even though she knew i probably wasnt going to buy them (i have way too much crap at home and i am on a budget). anyway i will be a repeating customer (90% of beauty places i never come back to). only reason i am making it 4 stars instead of 5 is because somehow the pricing always ends up being like double what i thought it will be. i start thinking i will pay something like 35, and it ends up being 60 because of having long hair. i guess its the price you pay though for knowing you look good. :) read more

My best friend and I needed to get our hair done and she told me that she cut her hair at Profiles-A Hair Salon the last time she cut her hair. I was a little hesitant because I've had a range of experiences with hairstylists. But I gave it a try, and I couldn't be happier! She called about 30 minutes before we showed up and they were kind enough to let us come in. When we got there we were immediately greeted by Cheryl, who seemed very nice. Not only was she nice, but also a great stylist! She was very friendly and asked me for my opinion multiple times when she was cutting my hair. Typically when I have a bad haircut I noticed I had a difficult time voicing my opinion to the stylist. Usually because I always feel like the hairstylist knew best. Cheryl made it extremely easy to communicate my opinion because she made sure to check up on me and make sure herself. It was awesome! Also, everyone there gave off a friendly vibe and seemed to genuinely care how your haircut turned out. The stylists helped each other out when needed and gave each other advice/opinions about the treatments they were offering. Many of the other stylists complimented me on my hair afterwards too, which was also very nice. It was a GREAT experience and I would definitely come again. Cheryl was amazing and super down to earth to talk to as a stylist. I would without a doubt recommend her. read more

ALFRED is the best! I've been going to Alfred for 15+ years. I drive all the way from Pasadena to get my haircut by him.

My mom originally found this place many years ago, and suggested I use them when prom time came around (a decade ago!). Virginia (Ginny) made my thick, copious amounts of curly hair into a high class extravaganza of locks. She seriously loves styling hair, so if you want something beautiful and fun, go to her. Her enthusiasm totally rubs off! While I was there, the owner, Arpi, informed me that she was well versed in the find art of unruly hair. I later returned for a cut, and it came out beautifully. She even knows how to straighten hair so it goes from frizzy and ridiculous (think the "before" in those supposedly overdramatized hair commercials) to smooth, shiny, and "Holy crap, I never though my hair could EVER do this" smooth. Every last lady (and gentleman) in that salon is well versed and will only do what they KNOW how to do. If there's any doubts, they grab someone who may know better. I've been going back for 10 years and never had a complaint. PERFECT for the girl (or guy) with unruly curls that just need someone experienced enough to get things under control. read more

I had great experience at this hair salon ...staff is not only amicable but also great at hair consulting and I got professional experienced hair dresser 'Cheryl' ...and certainly she did great job ...first she asked me about how I want my hair to be done...she absolutely delivered the desired look...I would definitely recommend this place for hair cut ...I found myself great hair dresser here...'Cheryl' you rock and keep it up :) read more

Amazing.... I have curly hair and after years I finally found someone who knows how to cut it.

I was looking for a good stylist and found Christine at Profiles. She listened to me and made suggestions about my cut. I never felt like she wasn't interested in finding what worked best for me. She spent time explaining how to blow out my cut. She is very professional and I look forward to my next visit. Maybe we'll try something new next time. I trust that she'll know what I'll like and won't do anything that I haven't asked her to do. read more

After reading others' reviews I decided to try it. I made an appointment with Christine and I LOVED her work. Keep in mind that I'm a working college student who is always tight on money. A $50 haircut isn't really in my budget, but trust me, it is worth it! Everyone treats you so well, offering water or coffee. She washes your hair before she cuts it. She also put a bunch of different product in my hair that smelled so naturally good. Point is that I have now found my hair stylist in the valley. CHRISTINE IS AMAZING!!! You will not regret it. I am very picky with my hair and I loved the work she did. read more

The Profiles Salon was called to my attention by a dear friend. When I called to get a haircut and have my roots colored, the receptionist said Cheryl would be available. Not knowing what to expect, I went in with a picture of a haircut that I liked. I immediately felt I was in good hands as Cheryl took the time to view it and intently listened to all my concerns. Not only did she meet all my expectations, she went over and above to please. I left the shop feeling I looked my best. I will definitely be returning. Cheryl is a gifted hair dresser -- I highly recommend her. read more

I have been going to Profiles Salon for four years now. Arpi was able to fix a disaster of a hair style/color including removing horrible extensions that were glued in. Instead she uses hair color that is very gentle with no breakage and the best quality extensions .Her prices are very reasonable and worth the 30 minute drive to her salon. read more

Farah is the best! I've been going to her for as long as I can remember and no matter how I want my hair she always does it perfectly!

I love this place! Especially the manicurist Heidi if you want amazing jaw dropping nails you should get your nails done with her she's beyond amazing!! She's usually booked so book your appointment soon she's perfection !!! read more

I wasn't going to write a review because I don't like saying negative things about people but I'm still bothered by my waxing experience. The lady I had the appointment with was very nice so I'm not sure if she was having a bad day or what but I went in to get my full legs and bikini waxed.. I thought she was doing a decent job and was greatful she was actually tweezing in between because most ppl don't.. But by the time she got to my bikini area I felt she had absolutely no clue what she was doing (barely waxed the area and acted afraid) plus I had a mole removed on my leg and asked her to please go around it.. Well not only did she put wax on it and say she would take it off and didn't when I got home I literally had to rip my pants off of me I had SO much wax all over my body and it took me a good 45 min to get it off not to mention i had a TON of hair still on my legs that she had missed. :/ I feel bad saying these things because she was so friendly but seriously... I could have just saved my 70 dollars and just shaved since I had to with all the hair still anyways :( read more

I am a huge yelp.com believer, this is the first time I went ahead with my friends advice and just blindly made an appointment to Profiles. Never knew it existed and its acutally walking distance from my job. I called to make an appt. and they referred me to Christine, I made sure to clarify I have had some bad dye jobs and hair cuts...and that I was very verrrrrrrrry frusturated in the past with hairstylists due to my unmanagable hair. She assured me Christine would take care of me. I had been saving for weeks to just get a haircut and for somone to just make my hair nice and soft...healthy! When I meet Christine first thing she did was sit me down and go through a walk through of the ideas I had for color, complaints for cuts and any other things I had to voice out, I let her do her job and tell me what would work and what wouldent. I knew she saw I was very hesitant...I told her straigh out! I have salon phobia....Ive had some bad jobs and crazy haircuts that just traumatized me seriously and she assured me that wouldent happen. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and told her I trusted her with my hair, I had nothing else to loose right? as she was matching the hair colors and trying to even out all those dye jobs...I was amazed because other salons that said would "fix" it never went into detail, I even saw her asking the head director of the salon for advice...she sat down with me and gave me some tips to help my hair since I mentioned I wanted my hair to grow long! she began to cut my hair and blow it out and dude!!!! my hair was transformed, literally, some of you must think " this chick is exageratting" but no I noticed the diffrence right away...though I did wait almost two weeks to write this review because I needed a test trial since I thought maybe christine has a powerful weapon liquid that made my hair this soft and healthy lol but to my suprise after the first week my hair was still soft and even until today It is become more managable than before. She did advice me that dying my hair will need more haircuts and maintance but I hope next time I see her we can go more red lol :P she gets a ten from me, I rarely leave a salon satisfied and if Christine ever leaves Profiles I will be a devoted follower....if that salon ever lets her go then they might as well close it down :) read more

I've been a customer of Farrah for years, at several different salons. I feel she knows my hair and understands the best style. This salon is friendly and the rest of the staff is very helpful. read more

Hi, I'm Noni and just want to review Janine's services at Profiles Salon. Great hair coloring and haircut all the time! I never go out of there disappointed. Thanks for keeping me youthful and nice looking. read more

After only one visit I am blown away (pun intended) with the services at this salon. I found this Salon on Yelp. I made an appointment via telephone, all went smoothly. (totally professional receptionist via telephone and in person) Had a slight glitch upon arrival, the Stylist didn't show this morning, (the receptionist kept apologizing) but all was saved by Arpi who was in on her day off, planning to cut family, not clients very graciously greeted me and offered to do my hair. Well, lucky me not only did she cut my hair to perfection, exactly the way I described, but she was fixing a botched haircut that was almost 3 months old, amazing. Wow, what a difference to be happy with your hair again. I just called back to make a highlighting appointment. I decided this will be my new permanent salon, with Arpi as my stylist. I will update with color results in the near future. So very glad that Yelp lets us voice our opinions and help each other find the perfect stylist. (((((Update I just found this unposted in my account what a mistake on my part. Just to let you all know I still feel this way about the Salon, I am still having my hair done here and I am totally satisfied.)))) read more
