I can't believe I forgot to post such a wonderful experience. Randal is truly a hidden gem. My mid shoulder length hair was a total blah before this but I came out feeling like a movie star I must say. We chatted during the whole afternoon. He came with so much experience learning from the best. Hair cutting to him is like an art. When he's in it, he flows. It's as if he's painting a great picture. He's really patient and covered each strain of my hair. I've never met a hair stylist this talented. I've been telling all my friends and families. I wish I have enough hair to go back to him every couple months! read more

OMGoodness. Can Randal be more perfect in everything he does? He's the professional extraordinaire! A Supreme Gentleman, with a capital 'G'. Always on time! Always well prepared! His salon is the most beautiful space, a true testimony to his artistic expression. I've been a client of Randal's for 30 years now. Unbelievable longevity. His sense of style and 'ability' to whipp up the best COLOR is second to NONE! I highly recommend this Class Act of a hair designer, Randal. The best ever; I promise. Give him a call to book a cut, style and color. I promise, you are in for a REAL TREAT! Trust me! read more

I love this salon!! He will make your hair look so naturally effortlessly the best it can be! Randal Jon has been cutting my hair now for almost 4 years!! Previously, I would only cut my own hair. That's how suspicious I was about letting other people touch my head. Of course I'm not a professional so my cuts were always bad, after my first haircut with Randal I've never looked back and always go to him. My boyfriend introduced me to Randal, and told me his grandmother and aunts introduced him to Randal....they all raved about his cuts. I love coming to Randal's because not only is he a genuinely kind and caring person, but his cuts are truly wonderful and are more than worth the price. He'll wait patiently as I show my various inspiration pictures, or he'll suggest different things that he thinks will work with my hair- layering, blunter cuts, etc. It's not just a haircut, but he's a wonderful conversationalist and we'll chat about current events, local food places that he recommends, style trends, anything and everything. The thing I most like about him is that he always gives me a cut that makes my hair look like the best version of what it can naturally be-not just a cut that only looks good after a ton of styling. He pays attention to my curl patterns and how my hair dries, and he'll give me a cut that I can truly air dry and walk out the door and it will look amazing. That's where his genius comes in. Try some of his hair products too, I've tried various of his shampoo/conditioners that he works with chemists to create his own blend, and they smell wonderful and really work great. After I started going to Randal's, I always get compliments on my hair. I'm going to keep going to Randal's-he's the best. read more

Randal is my hair Buddha! I will not go to anyone else! I have really curly hair and he cuts it the way I want it every time to bring my curl back and while keeping it long and voluminous. I'm obsessed with the products he creates. They're all natural, GREAT for curly hair, no sulfates, no harsh chemicals, really brings my curl back. I also love the color he chooses for my hair. I'll change my style and color by seasons. I'll get my hair high-lighted and lighter for summer and darkened with low-lights for the fall/winter. I love it! I moved to sf about a year ago and Randal is the only stylist I let touch my hair, I will make special trips all the way to LA just to get my hair done by him. Thank you Randal! read more

Omg Randal is SO great! First of all, above and beyond what I love is his warm heart and kind energy. Beautiful space and very private, lots of light, very comfortable.

I HIGHLY recommend! read more

Colorist Extraordinaire! Randal is the BEST! He's been cutting and coloring my hair for 25 years. I've moved and now drive 1.5 hours to see him, but it's worth it. He is a colorist extraordinaire, having mastered both the art and science of hair coloring. And for both coloring and cutting, he always listens carefully to the client to make sure he understands exactly what you want, and takes the time to do things just right. Randal is also just a great guy, who is fun to chat with while sitting in his lovely salon. And his own luxurious and organic hair products are fabulous! read more

Did you ever go to a place where you felt like the stylist was rushed, and not really into you or you hair? Randal is the opposite. Randal Jon is a great hairdresser who really listens to his clients and wants you to be happy with your color and/or cut. I have been going to him for about a year and not only is one of the nicest people I have met, he does a fantastic job! He is in a small salon in the back of Planet Beauty, but don't let that throw you, it's a nice quiet clean space and I enjoy going there. read more

Randal is a great stylist.. I have been to many and not one has spent half the time working on my hair as Randal. He is truly not happy until you are happy with your hair. I've now been going to him for years and would not go anywhere else. I always recommend him to my family and friends because he consistently does an amazing job. read more

Oh how I miss the best hairstylist I ever had, Randal Jon! It pained me to move away and leave the only person who ever gave me a consistently AMAZING cut every time. If I could fly cross-country every month or two and get my hair styled, I would. I considered myself fortunate to have found him, and you will too. read more

Randal has been styling and coloring my hair for over thirty years. I drive an hour each way to see him every six-eight weeks. He is not a hair stylist, but a hair ARTIST. Randal looks at the entire person when styling their hair, and does such an amazing job that it is easy for me to keep it looking salon perfect on my own. For as long and as well as he knows me Randal always asks questions and is never satisfied until I am. Randal Jon is a cut above, one of a kind and i will never go anywhere else! read more

Randal Jon is a master stylist. I have been going to him for years, as no one else has come near his standards. He is not only an artist, but is also a genuinely gracious and caring person. He will give you an experience that you will want repeated again and again. read more

I have been looking for a new hair stylist for a couple of years now. The few I have found whose work I am satisfied with, are horribly expensive. I bought a coupon from "DealOn" for what I thought were a cut and highlights at Randal Jon. It turned out that I misread the coupon. One hundred percent my mistake. It was not tricky wording or any type of scam. I just misinterpreted what I read. When I went to pay him, he pointed out my error, and I was immediately prepared to pay him more money, because it was my error. He graciously declined to take the added fee, to which he certainly was entitled. In today's world, how often does that happen? Try never. As well, I avoid highlights or any other hair coloring, because I GAG from the fumes. They really make me sick. I noticed at once that there was no noxious odor. He uses an Italian product that does not have ammonia. A real pleasure. After the highlights are applied, there's no sitting under an intensely hot dryer while your stylist visits with the other stylists, or does other heads and forgets about you. He dries you right then and there, using his hand held. The cut was better than good, and he stuck with it until he got it just right. A lovely, low-key experience, with a gracious person. If you are looking for a "disco hair salon", this is not the place for you. If you are a grownup looking for a grownup experience with an adult hair stylist, visit Randal Jon in Santa Monica. The parking scene is not just a lot of fun, but it's okay enough. The prices are fair - not cheap, but not a three hundred dollat cut, either. read more

I love going to get my haircut from Randal! He really communicates with you throughout the entire process, making sure you are happy with the way you look. I always leave feeling happy and looking good. I'm 19 years old and have been going to Randal for a few years now and will continue to go to him! Always very hospitable and makes you feel comfortable while getting your hair done :) read more

Randall is the best. He consistently gives a fantastic cut and will always make sure you are happy. My wife and I have been using him for more than ten years and always recommend him. You will not be sorry. read more

Thanks again for another great haircut! Randal really listens to what you want and together we 'designed' my 'do so I can style it easily at home. My hair looks great with just some product and a little TLC with the comb, brushing from bottom to top. Really looks best just wash, spray and go! Amazing what a great stylist can create! I love my hair again! read more

Randal has been coloring and cutting my hair for over 10 years. He is the best hair styliist I have ever had! He uses an Italian product that is gentle and gives you beautiful, rich color. Randal is a "maestro" at cutting hair! He is meticulous, precise and will make sure he understands exactly what you want. He will then offer you the best neck and shoulder massage you will ever have! I highly recommend him! read more

Simply the best (and consistent) haircut i've ever received. My curly, thick blond hair is not easy to cut, and often times makes it hard for me to find someone who I feel comfortable give me a haircut. Randal takes genuine time and energy to talk with you and "map" out your hair to figure out the best look possible. Time and time again Randal has done just that. I've received countless complements on my hair every time I leave his salon. I would recommend no one else to cut your hair in the Los Angeles area. As you can tell I can't praise him enough, Randal is the man! read more

I am so very, very grateful to Randal. Never have I met a more competent, caring hair designer...He cares so much about you--and through his magic he transforms you!!! Your hair is so beautiful when he is finished that you FEEL beautiful. I came here for a family wedding from a very long distance....and Randal redesigned my hair and hair colour...I received so many compliments. My husband was also so grateful. I wish every hair stylist could have their hair done by Randal--then they would know what they SHOULD be doing!!! Thank you Randal for your exceptional kindness to me. I feel so fortunate to have had my hair done by you. I can't wait to repay the kindness you have shown me and you can be certain I will. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Randal equals excellence....both as a stylist and a person. The absolute best!!! read more

Ive been going to Randal since 1989 and no one does color like he does. Years ago I had gone to places closer to home and that just ended up being a mistake...now that Im back I would never go anywhere else. Randal is an amazing hairdresser as well as a great person to talk to. He's a complete package when it comes to hairdressers...Id give him 10 stars!! read more

This stylist runs his one chair operation behind a beauty supply retail store. I was looking for a quick blow out under $40. While the stylist was a nice guy, he didn't have a lot of experience with long hair it seems. He put like half a bottle of shampoo at the top of my scalp and washed my hair with his palms. It was like being groped at my head. Conditioner (lots of it) never made it past my scalp. After adjusting the water temp a dozen times, he finally washed it out. Afterwards, he proceeded to dry my hair for the blow out. It was gross. My hair was totally wet at the roots and a frizzy mess along the length of my hair. When I said I wanted volume, he took my wet hair and started to shake it all over the place. It was like if I asked my Dad or older brother to give me a blow out, it was that bad of an experience. It seemed like he was really trying but either he had an off day or doesn't know blow drys. I stopped the blow dry 1/2 way in, paid and left with gross/messed up hair. I blow my hair out 2x - 3x a week for over 20 years all over the country. It was ultimately my fault for trusting a salon in the back of a beauty supply shop (regardless of the upscale Santa Monica location). There are better salons in the area. read more
