I liked it, I am not one to go to a Salon, but usually somewhere like SportClips or even God forbid SuperCuts. First, this is completely different, spacious and clean... not walking around piles of other people's hair on the floor. Which is a plus, just shows how clean they are. When arriving the owner was there and the waiting area had drinks and snack while you wait. I may not splurge everytime I need a haircut, but when I do, this is the place I will go. read more

Super worth checking them out, you wont regret it. Finally gave this salon a go after reading all the reviews. First i should start by saying I was very scared to go cause i haven't been to do my hair in maybe over 2yrs and the last time i had my hair done i went to some place in uptown whittier and the girl not only fried my hair but cut it wayyy to short and started doing her own hair while doing mine, very unprofessional and it was just a horrible experience. So i guess my experience with that other salon scared me from going to get my hair done. Im always to shy to speak up so its very important they know what they are doing THANK YOU SALON CHEVAL! I am happy to say your stylists do know what they are doing! Yay! I recently had a horrible itch to cut my hair short. Not only did my stylist cut it perfect but as time goes by my hair still looks better and better! I love it! And a reasonable price for the consultation, shampoo, cut, and set. Also everyone was so nice and the atmosphere was very very comfortable. I defiantly made another appointment next time to do a dye job as well. read more

Great service, friendly staff, awesome waiting area (free cookies, brownies, tea & coffee)!! I don't know what it was but when I was looking up a great salon to go to and to trust my hair with, I just had a good feeling about it... my feelings were right! I am a natural blonde and have been all my life but I've been really wanting to try something new, something dramatic. I was kinda apprehensive but I decided I wanted to go brown. I wanted chocolate brown with copper tones, my stylist, Thayra was the BEST because she knew exactly what I wanted. She did such a great job. The color is perfect! She was so nice, and a professional, she is the greatest. Oh, and prices are great! I have long hair and it was less expensive than I ever could imagine! I've been getting rave reviews about my hair ever since. Thank you Thayra and Salon Cheval! I Highly recommend read more

Elise is very good at what she does. She offers ideas and insight if needed, and I really appreciated it. My cut turned out beautiful and the conversation was a delight. The salon was clean and pretty and the employees were friendly. I will definitely be a regular. read more

I'm so happy I found this place. The salon is warm and welcoming. It is also obvious that the staff truly enjoys their job. Elise is a great, knowledgeable hair stylist. Right from the start she wanted to make sure she had a solid understanding of what I wanted with my hair. She is friendly and knows what she's doing. She took the time to make sure I left the salon with the exact results I wanted. I will absolutely be back! I encourage everyone to make this place their go-to salon. read more

Came here last week for the first time. Samantha did my hair and she did an amazing job! She took the time to talk about what I wanted and was honest with me about what I could expect, and she delivered. It's exactly what I was looking for and what I've always wanted, but couldn't get elsewhere. The salon was clean and spacious, and everyone was friendly. It can be scary going somewhere new, but Salon Cheval exceeded all my expectations. This is where I'll be going from here on out. read more

Salon Cheval is amazing! I was in the market for a new hair salon, and I decided to visit Salon Cheval after reading positive Yelp reviews. I made my appointment with Samantha, and that was a TOTAL blessing because she understood the struggle of having coarse, thick, poofy hair and cut mine accordingly! Most stylists don't thin my hair as much as I would like, or don't understand the need for long layers to weigh down my hair, but Samantha not only understood my problems but gave me an incredible haircut! She was also super engaging and easy to communicate with, which made my 2.5hr haircut fly by. Nothing but positive feelings for this place - I'll be back! read more

The ladies here to an amazing job! Went there to get my hair/makeup done for a wedding. CHRISTINA did a great job with my hair && THAYRA did a fabulous job with my makeup! The bride also got her hair and make up done there. Not only did she look amazing, but both the hair and makeup survived a day full of running around, laughter, hugs and joy! Kudos to you both on a job well done! read more

First Time here. Lindsay did an amazing job! I had an appointment canceled at another salon during the holidays, and I didn't think I would be able to get another appointment anywhere. Lindsay was so sweet to squeeze me into her schedule, and she still did a great job with my cut and color! So happy I tried this place out. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

AS ALWAYS Salon Cheval delivers!!! Elise and her staff are amazing, frinedly and OH SO Talented! my daughter and I get out hair done here. we have been clients for about 2 years and they are always on time, CLEAN and equipped with all the lastest trends! i look forward to spending time there and ALWAYS so happy! thanks again Elise! read more

I have always been happy with my experiences at Salon Cheval and Elise who does my hair. Yesterday was no different, went in (got a last minute appointment - they're very accommodating) for color touch-up and cut. I'm offered coffee or water and cookies upon check in and then always greeted warmly by Elise. She always does some consulting, which is nice because it gives me a chance to talk about anything new I'd like to do with my hair. I happen to have very resistant gray hair and Elise goes above & beyond to make sure I have great lasting coverage. I am also very happy with my cut & style and the way Elise checks in with me about exactly what I want and if my expectations were met. An added benefit are the yummy Bumble & Bumble products they use! I want them all! I would recommend Salon Cheval to anyone, male or female for a great salon experience. read more

My hair was a wreck since i tried to strip the black and go blonde luckily i met the hair stylist Angela. She was amazing did such a great job on me and explained step by step on what to do on my hair. I didn't seem thrilled when i got the cut cause i hate short hair but she said my hair was so dead(which it was very bad) it was never going to grow and to think now she was so right. Take experienced people serious they know what they are doing. I recommend this place. I love my hair. Thank you Angela. read more

Elise was amazing! It was my first time here and she definitely made me feel super comfortable. I wish I would've taken a picture of my hair because she did an amazing job! She'll be my go-to girl from now on! read more

My sis, two nieces, my girls and I accompanied our mother to have her long hair cut short to donate to Locks of Love before starting chemo. Her hair stylist Angela introduced herself, was patient, and explained the process. She treated our mother gently and carefully. The staff was patient and kind, and the price beyond reasonable. Would recommend this place not only for regular hair cuts and styling, but for those going through a difficult process or wanting to donate to Locks of Love. read more

This place is great, I loved everything about it. I was greeted right when I entered and was in a salon chair within five minutes. I didn't have an appointment scheduled until that morning which is very rare these days. Usually they schedule a week after the day you call. I had the pleasure of having Oscar cut and style my hair, and I couldn't be happier. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Salon Cheval - Before, during my foils, drying, and finished product!! Thank again Cydnee!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Whittier, California

I have been going to Salon Cheval now since Christina has been there. Christina has been the only person to touch my hair for at least 8 years now. I have never been less than satisfied when Christina does my hair. She even put color in my hair for the first time and did a fabulous ombré job. She always talks thoroughly with me before she touches my hair and makes sure I am completely satisfied every single time. I have referred many friends and family to Christina and they always return. I love my stylist and I love this salon! read more

Angela was great! She listened and sought to understand my hair and what I wanted. She did her absolute best to keep my length, which was important to me, while still taking off my fried ends and giving me a good cut. I am SO pleased with my hair and my overall experience! read more

Took my mom in for hair color on her birthday and we requested blonde. My mom already has light colored hair so it's not hard to get the blonde color. The finish product came out a medium brown color and their excise is that it will fade. I am sure it will but fading medium brown is not what we asked for. Her hair came out darker than how she came in. Never using this place again. read more

Best experience here with Lizzy.. They take their time so you may need to wait a bit, but worth it.

I love this place! I always love how Jessica does my hair I always have trust her doing my hair. She always does a great job.

This review is for Heather. I was long overdue for a new haircut/style and I'm so glad I found this place. The staff is nice, the place is huge and very clean. I hate finding a new hairdresser as must as I hate shopping for a new car (its hard to trust people these days) but Heather was amazing. I wanted a long A line bob with dark ash brown bayalage coloring. She took her time and explained each step to me. My hair cut is exactly what I wanted and my color is perfect! I've gotten so many compliments and am beyond satisfied. Heather even gave me tips on the aftercare/upkeep of my hair. I'm so glad I took a chance on this salon and will definitely be going back to her. Thank you so much! read more

Gotta say that they need more stylists that can curl with with a flat iron. With my hair, curling with a flat iron keeps the curl tight and in tact longer. The stylist that worked on my had no idea had to curl with a flat iron and when I called to make the appointment I asked the receptionist which stylist can curl with a flat iron- the receptionist had no clue you could even curl hair with a flat iron. My hair fell flat before the wedding I was in even started. Sorry guys, wasn't happy read more

I have been to this spa 2 times now . I am always greeted with a friendly smile and have always felt very comfortable. Oscar gave me one of the best hair cuts of my life . He was very attentive and gracious. Prices are fair. This is definitely my spot from now on . read more

I had been to 4 hairdressers in 6 months, each one worst than the last. Thanks to that my hair is fried and in pretty bad shape. I desperately went online to find a good place to fix me. I found the yelp website which led me to Salon Cheval.....a salon I had driven past a thousand times but never noticed. I walked in to get a quote and got an appointment for this morning with Thayra (pronounced Thyda). She did a color, cut and highlights which I LOVE!!! The salon is trendy yet relaxed. It was also super clean. Everyone was so nice...even to each other. They went out of their way to help each other without the cattiness you see in most salons. The pricing was very reasonable as well. I left there with my hair feeling smooth, silky and beautiful!!! I even took a stack of cards to hand out to my friends. Thank you soooooo much Thayra, Christina (who helped out) and all the girls of Salon Cheval. I will be back!!!!!! :O) read more

I went in to Salon Cheval with a ridiculous looking fro that I had been growing out for a good few months..I was scared to cut it afraid of what id look like under there...but i put my beautiful silky hair in some dope ladies hands and came out looking like Frank Sinatra's biological son. that dope ladie was Cydnee. With a few quick tips on what products to use I now have more class, style and taste than ever. Bumble and bumble for life. Good luck with that Flamboyage! read more

This salon is really beautiful, upscale in decor as well as customer service. I've been a customer of Salon Cheval for 2 years consistently. Diana is my stylist and she is a master with color. My hair is naturally black and she skillfully dyes it platinum blonde. Once we experimented with pink coloring and another time with ashy highlights. Although blond is my absolute favorite, you can't go wrong with getting your color done by Diana! She is great with haircuts and blowouts, although if your goal is growing out your hair, she can help with that as well. I highly recommend this cute salon and specifically Diana. read more

Great experience! I had been going to a hair stylist who I wasn't really happy with because he didn't really listen to what I wanted. I finally went into salon Cheval. My appointment was with Christina and as soon as I sat down she offered suggestions and really listened to what I wanted. My previous stylist kept dying my hair w/ an auburn tint even though I kept telling him that was not what I wanted, also the layers that he had given me made my hair look like a horse tail. I walked out of the salon w/ a great cut and color (no more auburn)!! I didn't experience snooty attitude at all. From the moment I called in to make the appointment to the minute I stepped out the door, all the girls were extremely nice! This is my new salon! read more

I have been coming to Salon Cheval for almost 3 years now, and ever since then, my stylist Lindsey has been making all my dreams come true. She takes all my ideas and turns them into a reality. She listens to my input and makes decisions that I love. My cut and color are always blended and styled to perfection and I feel so lucky to have Lindsey as my stylist!!! read more

I got my hair ombred by Christina at Salon Cheval. Although, she was nice & sweet and I feel bad writing this post, but I also feel bad for my hair. All I have to say is WAAAHH! Super sad face/crying face :(((... My bestfriend actually wrote a review for me, but it was removed bc it wasn't her first hand experience; she was that upset for me and was astonished that the stylist would let me walk out with my hair looking a hot mess. Christina did contact me to rectify the situation once she saw the post, but I'm sorry I just don't trust coming back to her and I already booked an appointment with another stylist to have it corrected. $$$ down the drain.. :( This is actually my 2nd time with Christina, the first time I went to her my hair was prelighten with a previous ombre. I wanted her to make it more gradual looking and showed her plenty of photos but she ended up making my hair a dark subtle ombre which wasn't what I wanted . I should have got a hunch then but I assumed I should just go back to the same stylist since she knows what she did previously. So when I came back this time around, I wanted her to lighten my ombre and this happened!!! I should have inspected my hair carefully after it was washed and styled but I was too tired from sitting in the chair for hours. However, I did mention the two oddly placed highlighted strips on the crown of my head but she seem to brush it off. I initially told her that I wanted it lighter around the frame of my face and I guess that's the reason why she did two strips of highlights on top of my head. Lmao! Maybe she thought I wanted to have an actual frame around my face IDK?? I thought to myself, I'll just color it back to my base color when I get home. When I got home and washed out the curls she styled on me that's when I saw the blatant HARSH LINES all over from where she bleached my hair. There was no blending or anything! It honestly look like an amateur did my hair. So now I have to walk around with a whack ombre with harsh lines throughout my hair and shell out more money to have it fixed. It's funny how I came in, in hopes of making my hair look better but came out having it look worse. :( I honestly have to laugh at it to keep from really crying. Book at your own risk, don't say I didn't warn y'all. My hair pictures says it all!!! #HAIRPROBLEMS read more

After reading reviews on Yelp and Yahoo, I decided to give this place a try. Got Cyndee as the stylist and I am sorry to say that I am not impressed. I do not doubt that she is a good hairdresser but she just did not put a lot of effort into my haircut. She appeared tired and did not appear to be very enthusiastic about cutting my hair. I believe overall, she spent less than 40 minutes on my hair; including shampoo, cut and style. When she cut layers, she just bluntly cut across and did not bother to slightly thin out the ends so they look more natural. Because of the way she cut my layers, my hairstyle looks very 2 dimensional where you can learly see the shorter layer from the longer layer. The shorter layer also slightly flips up at the ends after drying my hair. I would not mind going back there, but I want a new hairdresser. read more
