This is by far the BEST local hair salon I've ever been to LA. Especially for a "first come first serve, and walk-ins" availability. I was shocked at how fast I was able to get services due to it being last minute and a tedious hairstyle. My specialist was Kay. She's such an amazing braider, with quick and light hands. She was very efficient and studied exactly what it is that I politely asked for. I loved that. The salon was filled with beautiful black women working their tails off, completing unique designs and styles for their guests! I absolutely LOVED the ambiance and felt completely comfortable. Everyone was getting their hair done, while nice tunes played in the background. It felt so serene. To be taken care of, while getting a deep mint wash, conditioner, and blow dry with such late notice. Yet, I felt like I was right on time. I didn't mind that I had to stay longer because I booked it later. My advice is that you contact RVM early, get a picture of the style you want, ask for their availability, and be on time y'all! I enjoyed the extra care and perfectionism from Kay. Thank you for a lovely experience RVM! I'll definitely be back for a new style and referring others! read more

Do not book with Rae. I sent her a simple picture of two stand twists and I ended up with... not that. I had to go home immediately and wash it out. It was a waste of money. Two stand twists are probably the easiest style to do on natural hair. I paid way too much for it and it looked awful. She made the twists different sizes and used a lot of gel to make it look like a knotless weird thing. It was so bad. If she didn't know how to do the style she should have said something. read more

WARNING: Don't book with Suave. He will always show up 30+mins late. He doesn't care about the health of your hair. He is greedy and will penny pinch you even when he shows up at hour late. He has the audacity to try and intimidate you when you question him about his lack of care in timing. He's the one that's always available because he isn't good and he isn't reliable. Never going back. read more

I booked with @babydoll_hair_designz on Booksy. The hair that was provided is simply amazing. I purchased the 3 bundles of her premium quality hair which included 3 30inch body wave hair. The price was reasonable. The quality of the hair is amazing. The hair is thick, all the way down to the ends, soft, manageable, holds curls without having to always reapply heat, straightens perfectly & is tangle free. I get compliments in regards to my hair on a daily. It also blends very well with my own hair, for an even more natural look. Customer service is good as well. She is very friendly and knowledgeable about hair haircare. The salon atmosphere was great and welcoming!!! I will most def be purchasing again. Her install was impeccable. All my expectations was met & it was giving me i found my new beautician!!!!! read more

RVM TWIST - A half up n half down sleek ponytail & weave install with crimps - Hair Extensions Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have received OUTSTANDING hair service from Felicia!! I am amazed by her work!!! She gave me exactly what I asked for!!!!! She is very kind knowledgeable professional and knows how to really style hair!!!!! I was also amazed by the quality of the shampoos/conditioners she used on my hair because sometimes after I get service from a salon my hair tends to not hold the smells from the shampoos etc and sometimes the hot tools used on my hair makes it smell slightly burnt and over powers the hair wash products, and the shampoo/conditioner scents linger away the following day, but whatever Felicia used on my hair madd it still smell wonderful days after! She didn't make my hair smell burnt or was rough on my ends! The girl is damn good! She is truly gifted! Also, the environment was very comfortable clean and friendly:-) Thank you Felicia and thanks RVM for hiring her!:-) read more

So pleased to be a returning client of RVM Twist, specifically, Shavonne Hamilton. I always enjoy my time in the salon where every chair exudes quality and the technique it takes to produce these styles! read more

I went in for the most simple sew in extensions. The girl used big white thread to sew in my $400 extensions. When I got home, I realized instead of braiding a cornrow, she braided 2 long stands and sewed my extensions to a handing skinny braid. She didnt even bother to make the sides even. one side of the braid was above eye level, while the opposite side was below eye level. the worse part is that she cut my extensions. The next morning, one side of the extensions had slipped off. I sent a text and photos to the "stylist" asking her to redo. She responded telling me she wasn't going to be at work. I tried texting her after the weekend but she is now unresponsive. The salon is busy, so I assumed they would do a good job. Now I doubt the girl who did my hair had a license. Ive been getting extentions for 20 years. This was BY FAR the worst job ever!!! read more

I went in asking for a flat twist for a twist out. I came out with decent looking twists however, SAGE AKMAL put COPIOUS amounts of gel that clumped on my hair and took HOURS to dry then turned WHITE. Twist out day came DISASTER! See photos for evidence. My hair looked like a dirty, greasy rats nest. Icing on the cake, she was rude and late and ripped hair out as she brushed it. She had no respect for my hair and did not provide me with a full refund despite having a week to do so. DO NOT RECOMMEND SAIGE AKMAL read more

I called on Thursday with the hope of being able to schedule a soft lock removal appointment with someone that next day. To my surprise the person that answered (Saige) had availability! I genuinely appreciate how kind and welcoming she was. I feared I would be shamed for asking her to remove work I disliked from a different stylist - not with RVM. She did not ask any questions nor showed any judgment to my need to remove these locs. I appreciate that she tapped KB in to assist making the removal take much quicker than expected. She even asked Charisma to wash and blow dry my hair after which I did not expect and greatly appreciated. Saige, KB, and Charisma were all extremely kind, welcoming, positive, and genuine. I've visited RVM Twist, RVM Overflow, as well as the main shop across the street over the years. Every time I go every person that helped me was genuine. Really such a beautiful shop experience! read more

I came in this morning to get my hair braided. Rashard scheduled me with Rochelle. My appointment was early ans Rochelle was in great spirit. I needed my hair wash and dried before getting hair braided and the slight head massage during the process was on point! I was in and out, not rushed but just efficient on time and my hair looks good. Salon is clean and since we are in the times of COVID all safety guidelines are in place here! I met Rashard at the end of my appointment, very nice guy. Thank you for providing a service and reaching out! Wish you much success on your businesses! read more

RVM TWIST - Male Box Braids - Hair Extensions Near Me - Los Angeles, California

As a Yelp Elite And Social Influencer I take serious my abilities to influence the community. I've been a client of the RVM chains for a little over a year now, London is the BOMB with that invisible ponytail. And YES for those who get googlie eyed over celebrities you do have a great chance of sitting next to a "Somebody" while getting pampered. I use to work right across the street from the original RVM before it's expansions and huge popularity and I have to say how DOPE it is to have seen it! The inside is BUSY, any given day you will find more than half the chairs filled. That's how good they are. From natural hair to adding them INCHES baby they do it all. Every trendy style you can think of. If you're like me and a bit bashful around new ppl don't worry there's always a smiling face there ready to help. My favorite part of the shop experience is the girl talk. The conversations on the floor are hilarious swear time passes so fast! But honestly I've never spent more than 2 1/2 hours (and that's pushing it) on ANY hair style. Fast, efficient AND icing on the cake is the owner can be found on the premises on any given day! He plays no games with his business and truly cares about the experience you have under his brand. I can't tell you enough how pleased I am and actually really proud of this young brotha! Pave the way!! read more

Jassydoit has been doing my hair for a year and it has been amazing, not only has she showed me how to treat my hair, but the styles have been great every time. She is punctual and friendly, and I definitely recommend her to as many people as I can! Thanks Jas read more

My stylist showed up an hour and a half late. That's right 90 minutes after the original time of the appointmet. Then, even though I sent her photos, she proceeded to braid how she pleased. I have lot of hair and usually use 2-3 packs. She used 1.5. And that's beause she was in such a hurry to gt to her next client that she shortchanged me and made huge parts and squares on my head. I have more scalp than braids showing, and that is NOT what i asked for. She was very nice -- everyone there was nice. But there's NO professionalism, and it's obvious the salon owner doesn't do any business trainingnof even have basic business standards. They're just renting space. but RVM Twist is the brand and should pay some damn attention. I have to have my hair redone, and will never go back.Waste of $$$ read more

Where do I begin. I moved to LA and in search of a loctician and came across this hair salon. Here is where I found my amazing loctician who truly blessed my hair. Now 1 year later, I do not regret transitioning. LocStyles By M aka "M" is hands down the best in LA. If there were 10 stars I would recommend it. You can find more of my LocJourney on IG www.instagram.com/j.s.x____ (that's 4 underscores) read more

I was looking for a stylist a few days before my birthday and my boyfriend was referred to Felecia. We talked over the phone discussed the style I wanted and she helped me figure out how much hair I needed. When I got there she started off with washing and conditioning my hair before we started.( You know stylists want you to show up washed and blow dryer) My hair came out looking so good and she was so sweet the entire time. She was focused but still talked to us without being awkward or rude. Come to find out she's also bilingual so if you speak Spanish you can still book w her definitely coming back , definitely not letting anyone else play in my head. If I could give 10 stars I would. read more

Wow wow wow can I just say pure magical talent?! Kim did my daughter's gorgeous avatar hued box braids and they came out better than I ever imagined. Her gentleness, attention to detail and hard work is admirable. We will definitely be back! So glad I found this place, it's a very chill vibe, all the braiders are extremely talented, friendly and respectful with each other. I'd say my only tip is park across the street behind the diner for $13 for the whole day because parking is slightly complicated. read more

RVM Twist salon is hands down clean, professional, welcoming, and most importantly in compliance with covid-19 regulations. Teera aka TT did an immaculate job installing my weave. This was my first time working with her. I discovered her on the RVM Instagram page. Her work is consistent!! She is patient, careful and talented!! She will help you grow your hair. I met Rashard, the owner on the day of my appointment yesterday and he was bubbly, sweet, and energetic. He immediately replied to my hair appointment inquiry and put me in touch with his staff. I'll be back soon!! Thank you! read more

RVM TWIST - Hair Extensions Near Me - Los Angeles, California

From time to time I get my hair in a protective style while I'm trying to grow out my relaxer and fully embrace and nurture my curls. I had been going to a woman downtown but when she moved to New York I had to seek out another option. The first spot I found was... interesting. Didn't feel welcome so I did some research and found RVM twist. I called and a woman named Shavonne said she could book me the next day, love that. The shop is clean and has an awesome vibe, everyone socializing, good music on and just all around a great experience. The work I've seen and the work I've had done (all by Shavonne) is CLEAN. Shavonne accommodates my every request and I always end up with the exact style I want. We're basically besties now as for the price, it's pretty on par with all spots in LA but what makes it worth it is they will listen to you and give you the style you want and make sure you leave satisfied. Shavonne also cares for my scalp when she does my hair which really is the cherry on top. Highly recommend this spot for all styles: braids, twists, sew ins, etc etc etc. love y'all read more

My review is for a particular stylist named Erica @classicbraids310 on Instagram. Avoid going to her I wasted $250 on box braids that barely lasted a week. The booking process was easy but other than that there is absolutely no reason to spend your hard earned money with this stylist. I paid her $75 for a deposit and the day of my appointment she pushed me back about an hour, ok fine. I arrive on time and she is still braiding another girls hair. I sat there for over an hour then she finally started my hair. While braiding my hair she kept complaining about how thick my hair is. Mind you I am getting braids and never had a BLACK stylist complain about my texture. I requested small braids while booking but once she started braiding she said she can't do small braids because my hair is thick. Which I thought was wrong because small braids shouldn't be a be a problem for thick hair. Once she finished my hair I was impressed with the parting and quality of the braids. However, the style only lasted a week. After a few days the braids began to slip and my real hair twisted out of the braids. I text Erica telling her about my hair and she offered me half off if I book again for smaller braids. She continued to say small braids would work better for my hair. But sis while you were doing my hair you said small braids weren't possible. So now I know she was just being lazy read more

I came to RVM twist on a friends recommendation and it was the best referral I could've ever been given! Markeisha of LocstylesbyM is amazing ! I've been going to her since 2018 shortly after moving to LA from Houston and she's a god send ! I've never had someone get me in and out of the chair in an hour ! Not to mention she uses natural products that are great for my hair and she doesn't use any heat or clips (which can be painful )! She keeps me with new and fresh styles that last for weeks and I always leave feeling and looking better than I arrived ! I love her professionalism and consistency! I don't even get my hair done back home anymore bc she's better than my Texas stylists ! I would and have recommended friends and family and almost anyone with locs to come in and let Markeshia take care of you! Your first time definitely won't be your last ! read more

***UPDATE*** I am updating my review and adding another star as the owner, Rashard, reached out to me a moment ago after seeing my review. He really tried to rectify the situation and I really appreciate him for that. That is true customer service. I think he has a great concept and business model going on with 3 different salons and I commend him for all he has achieved thus far. If I was rating his salons then it would be a 5 star. From what I saw the salons were clean and modern, but the 2 star rating was for Paige who works there due to her bad work ethic. Hopefully, Paige takes this feedback into consideration and ensures that she values all her customers time. Like I said before, Paige did a good job when she did my daughters hair, but she needs to learn to be respectful of everyone's time and not just what she has going on. Again, thank you Rashard, for reaching out and wishing you continued success in your business endeavors. read more

I give this Place a 5 star because of TANESHA . I have not let anyone besides my mom touch my hair in 6 years. I was a bit scared im not going to lie. But as soon as i walked in Tanesha made me feel so comfortable and treated me like Family. Just off that made me feel more comfortable when she was doing my hair. Now i'm more than INLOVE with my hair & everyone loves it. Definitely will be recommending my friends and family to her. Thank You Tanesha read more

Literally the best experience I've had in a long time at the beauty salon!! Thanks again Felicia

In response to Omena. -Loc Styles By M this client has a habit of not complying with my policies. She was weeks late schedule her son for our two week agreement and was still honored with the discount. She has broken many policies which has caused me to lose more money than her appointment cost. I gave chance after chance. This appointment I even pushed my schedule an hour behind to accommodate her and she didn't show AGAIN. Once clients become rude I will not provide my services. read more
