    On the day it was dyed it looked like this. This was Friday 2/8/24.
    Shirley S.

    Leaving this review on my mom's behalf, per her request: She went in to get a salt and pepper hair dye done, as she's going grey and wanted it to look better. However, she went in at 11 am and was out of the salon until 3 pm. During this time, the man working on her hair constantly left her, talked to others, and left to move his car from the street parking it was in. The total cost for this service was $157. All of the dye washed off the next day in the shower. Even before washing off, there were parts of her hair left uncovered. The hair that had been blonde (through her dyeing it) is now orange and her hair is gummy. We called to request a full or partial refund, however, were offered a chance for them to fix it. We called back to say she doesn't want them to fix it as she is already having a hard time with the way her hair looks, and just wants a refund. They refused and said they needed to see it and fix it.

    My first time here and I'm happy with the way my hair turned out. Thanks Kris! I'll be back

    What I got - choppy hair

    My hair doesn't look like the reference photo AT ALL. She cut the entire front half of hair off and it is very choppy. I'm going to go get it fixed from another salon and never come back. I wish she told me she doesn't know how to do this haircut instead of ruining my hair.

    And... this just keeps getting worse. "Christian" here decided to message me and blame me for the whole situation even going so far as to chastize me for even going to this salon at all instead of my "regular" stylist that I don't have. All of this to have someone contact me from the salon page to offer a free cut to fix it because supposedly I showed them a picture with straight hair. I did not. The picture I brought in along with my screenshots of the conversation are attached. So, also be apprised that after they are not taking proper precautions to protect against covid, they destroy the quality of your hair, they will blame you for the bad service and keep making you feel worse about it for days. At least that's been my experience.

    Love love love the after math.

    Okay so after looking for a great salon that really cares about how you look, I finally found it. Chris is amazing!! He does such a great job. He is honest. If your hair is not going to look good at the end he will tell you, but also suggest to you what will look good. They have the best products to take home. My hair is so much softer and longer. I HIGHLY recommend both Chris and Omar to anyone that come here. Me & my daughter always have the cutest hair styles when leaving the salon!!

    Great experience here at salon viejo, was looking for a nice salon in echo park and not have to spend an arm and a leg to get a decent cut... Found this place, called in and made an appointment right away Luis helped me out and cut my hair, he was very nice, polite and easy to talk to, i felt very comfortable with him and the salon, everyone knows going to a new salon / hair dresser can make anyone nervous, but not the case with Luis and salon viejo... I plan on coming back again soon

    I've been coming to this spot for nearly 10 years and only trust Kris with cutting, dyeing and styling my hair. Kris is my go to person when it comes to my hair.

    Cris did that

    Waiting an hour to get my hair done was worth it. I got exactly what I wanted and I didn't really say much

    I was so happy to find this place! I love my haircut. The stylist was friendly and he knew what he was doing! I was impressed with his skills and how he listened to what I wanted. It was my first time in the area so I was grateful for this find.

    Could not be happier with my results! The team is so friendly and great at what they do. I went from dirty blond/light brunette with leftover red dye in my hair to platinum blonde in one session. Super talented hair professionals. I will definitely be returning!

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.

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.

I left the salon feeling great, and a week later I'm loving my haircut even more. I'm especially grateful to Anya and the salon for being so accommodating and respectful since I wear the hijab and require privacy during hair services - something many salons have turned me away for in the past, and Anya handled everything with such kindness and professionalism. Anya is incredibly talented, patient, and kind. My hair feels healthier, fuller, and more voluminous than it has in a long time - and she gave me curtain bangs I honestly didn't think my hair could pull off. Thank you, Anya, for a beautiful haircut and for making the experience so positive. I can't recommend her enough.

    I booked my second appt with Sal Salcedo months ago. He was aware this was the appt before my…read morewedding. I was called one hour before the start time and told he was running 15 min late. I said I had another appt after but that would be fine. I arrived and sat down and waited. They said I was checked in. I waited one hour before going to the front desk to say that now, I would not have time to do the appt because, as I told them, I would have to leave for another appt. I had allotted 2 hours and now there was only 1 hour left and I had not even been seen or sent for hair washing. All the while I waited, I could see Sal doing at least 2 other people's hair. When I asked the front desk if I could reschedule, they said they would talk to him. Several minutes passed. Sal was aware that I was there, but chose not to speak to me himself. He chose not to even take two minutes to face me and apologize. He was going to Mexico the next night, and could only offer the next day during hours I had to work. The salon manager apologized for Sal and offered another hair dresser. I have curly hair and want someone experienced in curly hair- especially when the haircut is right before my wedding and will cost hundreds of dollars. I think the worst part was that Sal was right there but simply didn't have the courtesy to apologize. I will never return to this salon. As for my wedding in two weeks, I have asked my makeup artist to help me find someone.

My appt she got me back to my blonde I've been missing. I was in hawaii for some time and my hair was grown out from moving and just didn't find the right stylist. She brought me BACK. To a beautiful, very bright/light blonde! And my hair feels very healthy as well! She was so attentive, meticulous and so fun too talk with as well. I didn't realize or forgot they have parking in front and they will even run out to pay your meter for you if needed. I just parked in the neighborhood nearby. Salon vibes are so chill and inviting. Coffee and water provided too. A no pressure vibe which I loved. No product pushing, no pressure whatsoever when describing what you are trying to get. Sometimes I'm anxious with the salon because it's a lot when it comes to finding the right blonde or just awkward conversation. Not here! She works with you so well and you immediately feel comfortable walking into the salon and through the entire interaction. And just comfortable, fun environment while you're there! Fun conversation, every one was so incredibly nice. I also can't sit still for long- severe back problems and adhd so it was nice I could get up and move as needed. Slightly pricey but expected with the work she provided for myself.

This is not a high pressure sales environment. Obviously suggestions, opinions communicated etc...but the objective was not to sell me something or turn the chair over for the next client. No product pushing. No service pushing. No agenda pushing. Full stop. 2) Skill I've always thought of Blonding as a language; I now believe Caitlin wrote that language. She is 100% the doctor and the surgeon. I got exactly what | asked for. Read that again: EXACTLY what I asked for. Having experienced the accuracy of an exclusively blonde colorist, I cannot overstate that value. 3) Communication It's possible your colorist may have to interpret what you're asking for. It's possible this takes time. Cait spent time with me. She encouraged me to say more and made me feel comfortable (read: not-stupid) as I probably talked out of both sides of my mouth and stumbled through my wants, needs, pictures, let-downs, etc. Look, I don't care who's hair you've colored, or "red carpet" this, "social media following" that blah blee blah. All of your skill and knowledge and experience is lost on me if: I'm intimidated You have one eye on the clock for our entire consult You're annoyed with my inability to articulate Couple the thorough communication with the technical capability and B/B is in a whole other league, entirely. Caitlin, you should be really proud of this business. Ok. SO: I hesitate to comment on/share price and service-time because every blonde really is unique BUT since that's probably the info you're looking for, I'll say this: Re price: Not inexpensive ALTHOUGH more than fair (even before you consider comps at other salons) Re time: It takes as long as it takes. Dunno what else to say about that one. Its bleach, people. Maybe don't rush it? TL;DR? Um, "best". You get what you pay for. Proceed with confidence (and enthusiasm!) srsly though? Go back and read it, it's not that long.
