I've been going to Daniel for years. He is absolutely amazing. I can honestly sit in his chair…read moreblindfolded and give him free rein and always be amazed. I recently came in for a bob with inspo pictures and styled me even better than the photos! He's the only stylist that can make me a beautiful classy blond to a deep brunette in phases. Not only does he do wonderful haircut but he's an expert at color. All while recommending the best products for hair care! Do yourself a favor and book a consultation with Daniel!

I went back-and-forth on writing this, but given that it's now been 10 months since the incident, I…read morehave to warn others. I spent years growing my hair to be healthy & strong, & I have ended up with fried hair that I have had to slowly nurse back to even halfway health. Come here if you want to be ignored, gaslighted, & end up with completely damaged, ruined hair. I do NOT recommend this salon for Black women / women of color / curly textures. This is long so buckle up. I originally reached out for a simple color service & was referred to Aly. I came in for a consultation and after an hour, she told me to continue texting her ideas so that we could figure the look out together. She then proceeded to mostly ignore me, & when she did respond, she sent photos of basic results nowhere near what we had discussed. Frustrated, I decided to come back in to just get my test strand toned back. She didn't even care to respond, just passed me off to the front desk. When I came back, I was asked if I wanted to consult with another stylist, Daniel, known for being "great with color." I have dark brown hair, & he assured me the cinnamon red look I wanted was achievable. In retrospect, having now lost my long & super healthy hair, still recovering from excessive chemical damage 10 months later, I WISH I had just walked out the door. For context, I had healthy, fine hair in long layers, anywhere from 2A-2C mixed wavy/curly textures, with length about an inch past my bust. I had defined curls, shine, & softness, & barely heat styled. Daniel lightened my hair with a low volume (supposedly) bleach & put a heat lamp on it. The heat lamp was so close to my hair that I moved at one point & it melted the plastic hair cap. After, I noticed my wet hair felt dry & tangled when he was combing, but I was trusting the process. When he started blowing out, my hair was WAY too blond & visibly dry. We had to tone it again. After another toner & cutting layers - 8 hours later - the result was pretty but felt parched, & also was not what we'd discussed color-wise. I was headed out of town the next day, so he promised to tone me when I was back & I trusted him. Fast forward - I shampoo my hair on vacation. My hair is GUMMY, breaking & pulling out in clumps. I can't stop crying. My super healthy hair that I could run my fingers through whirl wet was now inexplicably matted & dry, to the point I couldn't even work shampoo in properly. My curl pattern was DESTROYED. I reached out to Daniel & he put me in touch with the salon owner, saying my hair seemed "healthy" condition when I'd left. When I got back to LA, he did a deep conditioning treatment & a keratin treatment on the house, which helped somewhat. He also cut a few more inches off due to the damage - mind you, we had originally discussed that retaining my length was extremely important to me. He said to come back in 2 weeks for the toner to achieve the final color I'd requested. Traveling again, I got a simple wash & set at a local salon bc at this point, I couldn't even manage my hair on my own anymore on a day-to-day basis. Again, I do not do chemical treatments. The stylist told me I had intense chemical damage & chemically burned hair. I ended up having to cut off more, leaving my hair a little past shoulder length. I reached out to Daniel letting him know about the chemical damage; at this point, he said because I'd gone to another stylist he "couldn't service my hair anymore." He wrote a long text where he falsely asserted my hair was in healthy condition when I'd left & that it'd been too long since the service for him to help. Like...what? I had sent numerous pics & videos of the matting, shedding, gummy clumps of hair to both you & the salon owner & you're going to try & gaslight me? You told me to come back later! For him to try & rewrite history was extremely disappointing, & I lost all respect for him. Given his lack of integrity, I cut my losses, blocked, & decided not to argue about it further. I had to cut my hair a third time into a shoulder length bob. Now, 10 months later, I've been able to grow my hair a few inches with consistent trims, conditioning treatments, & protective styles, but it is still so hard to manage. My curl pattern has not returned to normal. At this point, I am STRONGLY considering a big chop, which was the worst possible scenario IMO. I will have to start over & spend the next few years growing back all the hair I've lost & restoring it to the health that I had before I ever stepped foot in this salon. I have spent 100s of dollars on bond building & reparative products, as well as follow up visits at other salons. On top of that, the immense stress & anxiety of losing my beautiful & healthy hair for what should've been a simple service was extremely, extraordinarily depressing. If you made it this far, do yourself and the health of your hair a huge favor and GO ANYWHERE ELSE.

First time at this salon but sadly will not be returning. I feel hesitant writing this review…read morebecause my stylist Malina was very sweet but I left feeling mixed about my experience. The interior of the salon is gorgeous and everyone seemed friendly, however. To start, my appointment was set for 12:15 but my stylist was still finishing the client before, so I had to wait 15 minutes to be seen. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but it didn't leave the best first impression. Then when we were talking about what I wanted to achieve, I showed her reference photos and told her I wanted to even out my layers and keep the bottom length while refreshing and trimming the layers to look like a reference photo I brought. She insisted that I tell her the specific length I wanted off of my layers and I told her I wasn't sure what the exact measurements would be. I'm not a hair stylist and usually when I get my hair done my stylists don't have an issue giving suggestions during the consultation or using the reference images to gauge what to do, but she kept saying I needed to know the specific length to tell her to cut. Ultimately I ended up telling her one inch and she proceeded with trimming my hair. Once she styled my hair at the end, I noticed that there was quite a disconnect from my bottom layer with my top sections. The bottom layer looked uneven to me and unblended. It seemed too thick and stuck out from the top layers. I also explained to her that I have a perm that is growing out, and it looked a bit off after she had styled it. The top part was frizzy to me and the bottom looked choppy to me but she just trimmed some more while saying that the layers are actually all blended together, but it's just because of my grown out perm. I added a picture of my hair that is washed and dried at home to compare and it still looks unblended to me.

Getting my haircut here was such a treat! There is a calm vibe to the salon, and the specialists I…read moremet are gems. It was my first wavy/curly haircut with specialists and I was lucky enough to meet Anya, who understands curly/wavy hair and the trial and error that comes with it. She asked questions to learn more about what I was looking for, and delivered! My hair has so much volume and personality with a flattering style for my face frame, and it's practical enough for me to work with on busy days. I mentioned some scalp concerns to Anya (who is a scalp specialist!) and was provided with information and possible solutions. So much care was given to cutting and styling my hair, despite being there beyond the offical closing time, yet, she did not rush me. Kiki, who worked with washing my hair and providing me with a blowout, provided explanations to products used and why. I was ready to fall asleep from the massage-like scalp/head cleanse during the shampoo stage. This is the first time I ever talked this much during my time at a salon! I really got to bond over shared interests with both Kiki and Anya. They worked their magic and are supportive, sweet and kind. I think I found a salon where I can transform, blossom and grow with people who genuinely care about their clients and hair.

I made an appointment with them 2 months back and unfortunately couldn't make it because I was…read morepregnant and I had extreme flare up of nausea and vomiting. I understand they have a cancellation policy and was told I would be charged 50%! 2 months later I made an appointment and I requested if they could waive the fee because I wasn't feeling good and it wasn't due to not just showing up. Not only did they say they can't do anything about it they now charged me 100% of the fee. First they said 50% then they said 100%! They didn't even ask if I want to use the card on file just went ahead and charged 100% I am just disappointed in how they are not understanding of when people can't make due to sickness or some things come up last minute and treating people crappy during pregnancy! Understanding goes a long way when you have a business! Take your business elsewhere where they don't treat returning customers like shit!

Through the non-profit "Children with Hair Loss" Du Japon Hair Club was vetted for donations and is the only approved salon in the Los Angeles area. I met Yuki, who owns and operates this salon and also one of the best stylists I've had in my years of barbers. She is so nice and explained the process of the donation and also provided guidance on selecting the best hair cut for me. After looking at a few photos, I decided to go with a moderate cut to ease back into the general population. I was so happy with the results and would recommend Yuki to any of my friends. She will only take appointments and is the busiest during the weekend. I would recommend calling well in advance for your appointment, as she works generally towards the end of the week through the weekend.

Yuki should have warned me that my hair was too fine for this process instead of taking my money to ruin my hair. If she is so experienced and so great she should have known better and know that the process she was doing would ruin my hair. This is my warning to others that are going here to have straightening done. Don't rely on her to tell you it's not right for your hair. To top it off when I called to tell her she did not apologize, she did not act as though she felt bad her response was not caring at all. Not to mention she didn't offer any advice or a refund. Now it will take me years to get my hair healthy and I'm so upset.
