The photo honestly does not do justice! Hair done by Hala. I originally came to Hala by good word of mouth from a friend. When I came to her years ago, my hair was too damaged and frail for her to color it how I wanted. She gave me amazing tips for me to get it back to health. I followed her tips and in 2019 got my desired color... I then let my hair grow out. I decided I was long overdue for another hair salon visit. My appointment was in May 2021. The amazing Hala herself was impressed on how full and healthy my hair now was! She did baylage and glaze. I felt super safe as far as COVID and the new restrictions still in place. Even though she is a busy woman, she did my hair from beginning to end and made sure I was happy. Her and Joe are definitely quite a team! read more

Salon H By Hala - Baylage and glaze by Hala - Hair Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

Everyday I found myself putting my hair up in a bun...EVERYDAY!!! When this happens, it's a sign to get a haircut. I found Salon H on Yelp and I booked my appointment online with Joanne. I got a haircut, style and color. Joanne is amazing! Before she worked on my hair we talked about my hair routine and I showed her some pictures of what I'd like. I'm very low maintenance. I was sooo pleased with the end results and loved my hair! I've found my stylist and plan to return! Things I appreciated: * I was able to make an appointment online *Easy parking *She told me the price before starting anything *Everyone was friendly *Joanne gave me tips on how to maintain my hair until my next appointment *Scalp massage was great read more

Yes, I'm one of Hala's loyal and very happy customers. I've sent lots of friends to her and they all love her too. You know how it feels when you've found a service or restaurant that you love and nothing has ever been able to beat the experience? This is how I feel about Salon H. I think it's been over 8 years now? I was referred by a co-worker and I just feel lucky to have found such an establishment. The salon is clean and beautiful. Relaxing and homey. The staff here is wonderful and of course, Hala, she is extremely talented in her trade and keeps up with all there is in the Salon world. I always come out of her salon standing up straighter and more confident, she makes me feel beautiful with a great wash, cut and blowdry. (She's awesome with Color as well!!) read more

Just moved to Torrance and found this salon in my neighborhood! Stephanie did a wonderful job on my color and blow dry. The salon has a great atmosphere and was very reasonably priced. Before she did anything Stephanie went over the prices with me, it's not something everyone does. I wasn't on a budget or anything but still it's nice to know what your ticket is going to be. She matched my existing color perfectly and we made plans for my highlights next month. I'm surprised I found my new place on my first try! read more

Salon H By Hala - Not my best picture but it shows how great my blow dry is - Hair Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

After a year of avoiding the dreaded search for a new hair salon, my hair was in desperate need of some love. A friend of mine, and a client of Hala's, had raved about Hala and Salon H before. However, I, the ever skeptic, resisted for a few months. Finally, I decided to book an appointment for a conditioning treatment and haircut with Hala. The booking process went smoothly. There is an online appointment service where you can book via their website, but I just called the salon and made my appointment. The service is very friendly and thorough. The Salon is on PCH next to a market. The PCH side is the back entrance, but if you enter the small plaza, you can park and enter through the front of the salon. The salon is beautiful and everyone who works there is very friendly. On to the important stuff: The hair! Stephanie does a great job at letting you know exactly what's going on during the wash and conditioning treatment of your hair. The treatment is also really relaxing- too bad I had to return to work. Hala is nothing short of amazing. I have never been SO pleased leaving a salon! She takes her time, but it's soooo worth it. I didn't bring any photos in or really tell her what kind of hair style I was going for. I just told her that I wanted all the dead, dry, split-ended hair cut off and a cut that would make curling my hair easy. She showed me how much she'd be cutting off and that told me she'd add layers throughout my hair. I have had this style before, so it was nothing new. She is so thorough with the hair cut though! It came out much better than I had anticipated and looked completely different than all the boring layered haircuts I had received before. She was a real pleasure during the haircut as well. None of that awkward I don't know you, but we're spending an hour or two together so I have to talk to you about things you don't really care about conversations. I CANNOT stress how much I recommend Salon h. While it's not cheap, it's not overpriced and it's more than worth every penny. Why spend $60 on a sub-par haircut that leaves you disappointed until your next appointment when you can spend a few bucks more and feel like a million bucks? There's a reason Salon h by Hala has won South Bay's best the past few years in a row. So, go book your appointment now! read more

Salon H By Hala - My haircut the next day - such an awesome haircut that I can style it and it looks as good as when I left the salon! - Hair Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

Oooweeeee! Where do I begin? Let me just start off by introducing the fact that I am a 'hopeless romantic' when it comes to salons. I'm always on the search for the perfect stylist with my share of let downs. I was especially heartbroken over my last hair girl when she ruined my ombré. I waited over six weeks until I decided to let my hair go through another chemical process since it was fried and the color was patchy. Ugh, it was a mess and I almost considered going back to one color through a box from the frustration. Thankfully Hala and Joe were there to save my hair and my sanity. So, let me count the ways I love thee... 1) Service: Oh my goodness, I think I tipped 30% because it was that good. Hala and Joe know how to hire a great and friendly staff. Hala is very personable and informative. She knew exactly what I wanted without having to spell it out or show her pictures. They have coffee and refreshments for waiting clients. Everyone makes you feel welcome. Five stars for service. I got a same-day consultation and they are accommodating with the scheduling. 2) Hair Amazing! Hala and I barely spoke during the processing--I was so relaxed I almost fell asleep. I swear she got every strand and made it blend beautifully. Finally! The ombré I've longed for! She threw in subtle highlights all over and glazed it. My hair still smells fantastic from the Morrocanoil product she uses. Hair is soft and she didn't even need to cut the damaged bits. She also gives a great scalp massage when she shampoos. I've gotten so many compliments already. Five stars for hair. 3) Price My bill came up to about $130 with a $40 tip. Pricey? Not really for everything that you're getting. With service and quality like that, I felt like a smaller tip would be an insult. 4.5 stars for price. 4) Salon Very cute, very clean, very tasteful! Located on a busy street but there is plenty of parking in the back. Five star for atmosphere and aesthetics. They were definitely voted Best of South Bay for 2011 and 2012 for a reason. I think I found a new place. read more

4 months ago was my first time going here and I made a drastic change to my hair from long black hair to short blonde hair - think P!nk (the singer) hairstyle. I made an appointment with Xinan. She's a really cool chick. She did it so well that I want to keep my hair short and blonde now. The place looks prestige but not intimidating. The staff are so down to earth. Very relaxed place. Everyone are so friendly I feel like I've known them for years. Been going here for monthly touch ups and trim. They offer tea, coffee and wine :) They can also accommodate you as early as u want just give them a call. Love them! read more

12/27: I haven't even been in for my haircut yet but I'm already impressed with the level of customer service. I emailed this salon including photos of how my hair looks now and what I want. Joe called me back shortly after to schedule my haircut and color consultation. (I think I got lucky because there was a last minute opening in her schedule) Joe was so professional and pleasant. I can sort of already feel that I'll never go anywhere else to get my hair done. 12/28: I found my new salon and I can see why they've been voted south bays best for the past few years. This salon is top knotch, clean professional and Hala is extremely knowledgeable, and friendly. You can really tell that she cares about hair and is an expert at what she does. She gives great recommendations and tips and really has amazing talent. I definitely won't be going anywhere else. You get what you pay for so if you want your hair too look amazing go to Hala. You're worth it! I'm really really happy how the cut and style looks and I'm going back in a couple of weeks for color/higlights. read more

I love this place!!! ppl are nice, and professional, this is definitely the place to go to!! ladies, we all know what a bad hair cut can cause, I can give Xinan my full trust and walk out the salon with a great smile. i highly recommend it!!! A+++++ read more

I have been going to Hala to get my hair done ever since I was in high school, and I'm now 23... so I've been with her for around eight years. I refuse to go anywhere else unless I'm forced. Actually, my whole family goes to Hala. The fact that I, as a 23 year-old, can get my hair done at the same place as my grandma and my teenage brother says a lot about her talent and versatility. Another thing- she's always so ahead of the game. She introduced me to Moroccan Oil back in 2006 before most other hairdressers used/sold it. When I moved away for a while I had to stock up with Hala because I could not find it at any other salon. Now it seems to be everywhere!! Her salon has a great environment too, it's not at all pretentious. It's a perfect balance of trendiness and casualness. The only salons I've ever found that are up to par with Hala's were when I was living in Paris (these salons were very pretentious, however!) So, unless you want to go all the way to Paris to get your hair done, I'd go see Hala. She books up pretty fast, especially around the holidays it seems. I'd call at least two weeks in advance if you want an appointment with her. read more

I was referred by a friend, and it was one of the best hair referrals of my life! Since I've grown my hair out, I haven't had a good hair cut. That is, until I saw Hala. Hala is confident and professional. There's nothing I love more than a hairstylist that actually consults with you - meaning looks at your picture and discusses the cut with you in detail. This allows your visualization and your stylists visualizations to be on the same page. She looked at my picture and told me what a cut like that would entail and then made modifications on that based on what I told her I was looking for. She told me what wasn't working about my last haircut (a "v" cut in the back I had requested my old stylist to do, but she didn't have the confidence to tell me why that wouldn't work with my hair). There is nothing I love more than honest input from a confident stylist and Hala delivered. My hair looks the best it has in at least a year AND Hala was sweet as pie to boot. Niessa, one of the assistance, is the sweetest. She knew just how to put me at ease and chit-chatted with me very smoothly even though we had never met before. The salon is very aesthetically pleasing, clean and modern. After 5 years living in California, and many, many haircuts, Hala is the only stylist I have found even remotely on par with my old stylist in Tennessee. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I have been a client of Hala's for over 15 years. She is never anything less than professional and competent. I have never had to wait beyond my appointment time and am always happy when I walk out. Great location, awesome employees, stylish decor, talented and professional stylists - what more could you ask for!!!! read more

Hala has been cutting my hair for 19 years and the best thing I enjoy about my haircuts is that my hairstyle turns into a different look. I love it!!! She is also an AMAZING colorist. Hala listens to me on how I want my haircut or colored; she will make a suggestion and since I'm not an expert, I will listen to her and I have had no problems with her suggestions or recommendations. Since service is VERY IMPORTANT to me and depending on what I am having done to my hair; Hala and her staff are always making sure I am comfortable and if I need anything. Overall, Salon H is an exceptional place to get a haircut, color, purchase products and even a relaxing scalp massage! read more

I've had several services at Salon H and I have been more than happy with all of them. Hala is a true professional and really listens to what you need and want for your hair. I've had my hair cut, colored, and deep conditioned here and I love the result! Being someone who hasn't changed her hair much at all, I came in a bit nervous about highlights, but I love the look-subtle and natural looking-exactly what I was going for. I've gotten a lot of compliments-thanks Hala! The deep conditioning treatments are great, too, especially if you have thick and coarse hair like I do. The salon is clean, comfortable, and relaxing and the staff is also friendly and welcoming. Great scalp massages, too, which is always nice! What I also love is that they are always up to date on products and other hair care tools-their processors are completely different from any other that I've used and they are very informative about products, haircare, etc. I'd recommend Salon H to anyone looking for excellent service! read more

I just moved to the area and was excited to see a hair salon that I could walk to. Due to COVID, I anxiously waited for the location to open and to see how it was. I also have very curly dry damaged hair dye to health issues. Hala worked her magic and gave me some great recommendations. With my type of hair, hair stylists are hit or miss. Hala was a hit! read more

Super friendly here. I'm an amateur when it comes to getting my hair or eyebrows done and they were so helpful and caring. Stephanie is such a sweetheart, just as the other reviews say. I'm currently writing this as I'm waiting to get my hair done and 2 people have already offered refreshments to make my stay more comfortable. I got my eyebrows done a couple of days ago from here and they are looking BOMB. I definitely recommend this place! read more

I was looking for a local salon and came upon Salon H by Hala. Based on the reviews I made an appointment for cut and color. I've now found my goto Salon and stylist! Stephanie was the one who did my hair and I'm beyond happy with the results. I love it. From the moment she greeted me, I felt reassured. She was not pushy with any products and in fact told me I didn't need a haircut (even though I had originally asked for it). She went over the price with me before the treatment (Which is great!). I showed her pictures of what I like and didn't like and the end result was more than what I could have imagined. I really like it! The owner Hala talked to Stephanie at the end to check out her work and I made a point to let Hala know that I really liked it! Everyone from the lady (Joanne?) who answered the phone when I first called and the guy (oops forgot his name) who handled the bill at the end was friendly and not pushy. The salon is nicely decorated and has a modern, warm feel. Price wise I think it was reasonable. I'm looking forward to going back to see Stephanie as I've gotten compliments on my hair color already! read more

Hala did an amazing job on my hair again! Every time I go there she makes me feel beautiful, I love how she really cares for her clients and really knows what they like:-) read more

Salon H By Hala - Beautiful hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

I can't tell you how excited I am to have found Joanne!! After two years of terrible experiences at hair salons with hair dressers who didn't give me what I wanted I finally found Joanne who is super sweet, caring and gentle. She actually listens to what you want and makes it happen! She gave me exactly what I wanted. I have difficult hair to cut, it's very fine but very thick. It's semi wavy and frizzy and super dead from hair coloring. My hair looks amazing and I've gotten tons of compliments on it. read more

See all

Joanne is the best!!! I LOVE my haircut!! I had a long hair for forever so I wanted to cut it short. I was a little hesitant at first, but I felt assured after she suggested few styles that would fit my face shape. And it was perfect! Plus, she give the best shampoo and head massage, I almost fell asleep. I'll be going back to her for highlights. LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!!! read more

I was a bit nervous coming here since I've had various "interesting" experiences at different hair salons around SoCal. Salon H by far gave me the best experience! My cut was $60 with amazing hair wash. Xinan was my stylist and she did such an amazing job. She is really friendly + funny, taught me a lot about hair care, and catered to my preferences in hair styling. After the haircut, my hair was so shiny and soft! My curled and styled hair was great even the day after and I received many compliments :) All staff were really nice and professional. I am so pleased, I am definitely coming back :)! read more

Xinan is the best! I was referred to Xinan over a year ago by my best friend. Xinan has been my stylist ever since for cut and color! She is very passionate about her work and truly does an awesome job every time! Always super friendly! The salon is really nice and very clean. Prices are super reasonable for the quality of the service. read more

Hala is amazing! I anyways get compliments on my hair even when I don't get back in for a trim because her work is so outstanding. I will not go anywhere but Hala. She is meticulous and truly genuine. In addition, her art of hair expertise is the best I have ever had! read more

I wanted my hair lighter and she lightened it JUST THE WAY I IMAGINED IT. Hala is AMAAAAAAZING. I felt very well taken care of by her assistant too. What I appreciate as well is the way she used products in my hair after since I didn't want to blow-dry it. I have very curly hair and she used the perfect amount of product so my hair dried perfectly. I honestly can say this is the best salon I've ever been to and it's hard to say that if you have curly hair like mine. Not just anyone knows how to work with curls. Hala is a master at what she does read more

Only my hairdresser knows , Stephanie is so talented and knowledgeable. I moved back to LA 5 years ago I had brittle hair but thanks to Stephanie I have shiny healthy hair and love my color ! read more

Very friendly, hip and cool atmosphere... Joe is a really cool cat as is his wife Hala... Always been taken care of in a timely fashion... Don't hesitate to give them a try, everyone there is very good and knowledgeable!!! read more

I've been getting my hair cut and color from Joanne for two years now and I absolutely love her!!! She listens to what style you're wanting and makes suggestions. In the end I leave feeling beautiful with bombdotcom hair! I went on a trip to Asia few months ago and got perms there and the hairstylist was surprised that I had color on my hair because they looked so natural and blended with my natural color. That was Joanne's work!!! I get my base color every month and every time they come out perfectly. The salon is very nicely decorated and everybody at the salon is very accommodating and polite as well. Five star all the way! read more

My family and I have been going to Salon H since it opened, they're the only place my mom ever trusted to cut our hair! Stephanie has been taking care of me for the past few years and she's incredible. She always makes sure that I leave the salon happy with my hair and prioritizes keeping the hair healthy! I recently went in and she did my very first color. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she worked on my hair for over 4 hours. She split the lifting process in half to make sure my hair lifted evenly and wasn't too damaged. This took more time but I really appreciated that she took extra time to make sure the job was done right. In the end my hair came out exactly how I wanted it and I'm obsessed. I'd without a doubt recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for an excellent stylist! read more

By far one of the best salons I've been to. Joanna is amazing and has given me my exact vision twice now. I am super picky but she takes the time to really listen to what you want and make sure that she's on the same page. She is very thorough. As a bonus she gives an amazing scalp massage :) The salon itself is beautiful and very classy. I felt spoiled while there. The prices are reasonable and upfront. I don't live in the area but will be coming whenever I'm in town! read more

I am about 4 months behind on my review. I had my cut done in July by Joanne and 4 months later my hair is still what she said it would be. I made a same day appointment online, which was very convenient for me as I had gone almost 2 years without a proper cut and I was dying to cut my outgrown asymmetrical bob. Joanne is such a miracle worker that it now only takes me 10 minutes to blow dry my wavy frizzy hair into a straight and shiny 'do. I don't even use my flat iron as much!! Though it cost more than I would like to spend on a haircut it's definitely worth it. read more

Hala is the best! Professional clean salon and fabulous with cut and color! Bummed it took me living in South Redondo area for over 15 years before I found her! read more

This is a really great salon with very nice people working in it. I went in to cut off more than 6 inches. I was a little nervous because it's been a while that I went short, Hala made me feel comfortable and educated me on where to donate my chopped off hair. Hala really took her time with me and showed me how to style my new do many ways. She is a very talented hair stylist and such a warm and genuine person. Her apprentice ,I forgot her name but it starts with an N is super awesome too! Thank you Salon H and thank you to Hala and her apprentice! I look forward to going back :) read more

I have been coming to this salon for over a year and finally feel like I've found the salon I've been looking for. First of all, the decor is warm and inviting, secondly, the staff is very friendly and most importantly, accommodating with my schedule. I've had my hair done by Hala (the owner) and Stepanie. Both are amazing. I ALWAYS get compliments on my color and especially the cut. It's such a relief to find a salon that is consistently good and priced right for the high quality services they provide. read more

Just left Salon H By Hala and I'm on cloud nine! I've been coming here for several years and Stephanie is beyond amazing! She made my old hair look terrific with a new color and trim. I'm never going any where else and neither should you. read more

I had a friend suggest I give Salon H a try. Im not real big on getting my haircut, so much so that I kept my head shaved for the past few years just so I wouldn't have to go. But finally, with some trepidation, and an out of control white boy fro, I decided to give Salon H a try just before going to a family event. The interior was nice. Its got a nice and modern, but homey feel to it. Theres nice dark wood furniture that accents the modern up to date blow dryer things ( they remind me a bit of those spider things from the Matrix - the 3rd one, yah, that sucky one, but of course not scary, but whatever ). Back to the point, i felt very at ease here. All the workers were dressed very nice, stylish ( kinda hot actually), like what you'd expect from a higher end salon. People were talking, having fun, but it was still professional. All I wanted was for someone to tame my outta control hair. I was introduced to a very nice ( and pretty) stylist Xinan, who spent several minutes with me to try and understand what I was looking for. She also discussed with me a longer term plan on how I might have want to do my hair. I found her very personable and professional. She clearly knew what she was doing and I made me feel at ease. The haircut itself wasn't anything fancy, but that was perfect. It was a simple, very well done cut that seemed to take just the right amount of time. After she was done cutting my hair she took me over to the shampooing station. Shampoo'd and conditioned my hair and then gave me a good blow dry ( i think thats what its called). Finally she put some product in my hair and showed me how to style it. I found this to be a very pleasant experience and I have gone back several times since. Now, true, my previous hair place was Super Cuts, so a comparison is kinda pointless, but as a newbie, this place would be the Superist Cuts if we were to put it in dorky white boy terms. Anyways, very nice salon, nice people who know what they are doing, great atmosphere and one very happy formerly hesitant guy who now has a real haircut ( one which his mom was thrilled to see after years of 5 o'clock shadow on her sons head) - any english majors out there reading this, yes, i know this is one of the longer run on sentences you've probably read in the recent past, but hey, i went to art school, what can i say. read more

I absolutely LOVE this Salon!! Joanne is AMAZING!! She is always so kind and professional, making sure I'm super happy. Her color, cuts, and style are phenomenal and I always receive wonderful compliments on my hair after she's worked her magic. If I could give more stars I would!! read more

This was my first time at this salon or any salon in California and I have to say, it was an amazing experience and I am so glad I listened to all the yelp reviews and came here! This is my salon now and Stephanie is my stylist!! ! First of all, the customer service is amazing! The owner Hala , greeted me as soon as I walked in the door and offered me a beverage since I was early for my appointment. She is so nice. Then my stylist , Stephanie came over and introduced herself. Stephanie is fabulous!!! She is very personable, knowledgeable, helpful and an excellent stylist. She listened to what I had to say and gave me the exact cut and color I wanted . She also educated me on how to take care of my hair from shampooing to styling..the whole nine yards. No stylist I have ever been to has done that. I learned a lot! If you are looking for a salon , do not think twice. Come to this salon. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. The salon is small, but kept in impeccable condition. So clean and the ambiance is relaxing and the decor is beautiful. Everyone there is so nice. Hala, you have an amazing salon!!! Stephanie, your talented and awesome!! So happy with my hair!!! Will see you in 6 weeks!!!! read more

I first went to Salon H about a year ago and now I refuse to go anywhere else! Xinan has been cutting my hair and she does an absolutely amazing job every single time. I tell her she has "magic hands" haha. Even when she gets done blow drying and I want a little bit more cut off somewhere, she happily goes back and trims it to my liking. Joe, the manager, is always very nice too. Not to mention the prices really aren't bad. For a hair washing, cut and blow dry, it's $50. You really can't beat that. Going to get my haircut is like visiting friend now :) read more

I have been going to Hala for years and now I enjoy going to her new Salon which is fabulous in every way. She does great work and never disappoints. She take great pride in her work and does absolutely fantastic job. She always give me great hair tips and if I pick a hair cut that might not look good with my features, she gives me advise before my final decision. I also enjoy going to her salon, which is a beautiful and relaxing environment to be. The salon is always spotless and clean. The hair products that salon H offers to its customer are top of the line and natural. The salon never uses other than natural hair products on their customers. My hair is very dry but Hala always provides me with hair product information to use for keeping my hair healthy and shinny. Thank you Hala for the great work that you do. read more
