I paid $50 for a haircut and wash, and it was totally worth it. The hairstylist did an amazing job, she gave me a really relaxing scalp massage and kept checking in to make sure I was happy with how everything looked. The wait time can be a bit long, which makes sense given how great the service is, but overall I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a new hair salon. read more

WOW. Please $50 for a haircut in LA is crazy! I heard about Ayumi on TikTok and everyone's hair looked amazing. I had to go in and see if it was true. She also does wash (she gave me a whole head massage too) AND blow dry!! Literally all for $50 doesn't matter the length of hair?! My hair is long! I honestly was ready to cut my hair short (for me) this time. And I'm so glad ayumi did my hair. I showed her some pictures and videos and she gave me exactly what I was looking for. I didn't want layers because it makes my hair look thin. She gave me style and thickness with my cut and honestly it's not TOO short it's literally perfect. She also puts in a lot of detail and work into her hair cut and blow dry and even hair wash. You can tell she puts in a lot of work and thought when doing your hair and making sure it works well for your face too. I'm literally so happy. However, her appointments are all filled throughout January and you can't even book her online anymore!! I had to see and saw 1 spot open in December when I was looking IN THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER. And it was at 6pm after work?! Like thank you so much. So convenient for my schedule! I truly consider myself very lucky I got an appointment. Truly a 10/10 experience. read more

Soho New York - I asked for "Face framing layers cut short but make it look thick" - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I am usually really picky with my hair cuts, but i saw this spot on tik tok and wanted to try it. I made an appointment with Tomo and he was able to get me on the waitlist for cancellations. I live about 10 min away, so I told him I can come absolutely anytime. He gave me exactly what i wanted! I also got a wash and blow dry! For the price, it is so worth it. Make sure to tip your hair dresser! read more

I had a wonderful haircut with Naoto recently. I have fine, straight hair and got a long, layered cut with bangs. It's the best cut I've had in two years as I've been struggling to find someone that won't texturize my fine hair or cut my bangs weird. I came prepared with photos of the shape, length, and exact cut I wanted and he was able to make it happen. I will be back. read more

Amazing!!! Ayumi has such great energy and is so talented! She is well known for her long-layered haircuts and it doesn't disappoint. The only con is that it's super hard to get appointments with her so definitely plan in advance and get on the books if you are looking. You won't regret it!! read more

Wow wow wow! I found this place from a viral TikTok and I made an appointment immediately., I had to make my appointment two months ahead of time because they are so backed up on bookings but it was worth the wait. They do a $50 haircut which includes a wash which is an amazing price. The haircut was basic, but that's all I needed! The stylists signature was face framing layers so I took off a few inches of split ends and went with her suggested face framing layers. I was really happy with the result! Selfishly, I hope they don't raise their prices too much after becoming so busy. Ps- they mention on their website that they have free parking( but free parking is for the entire building which includes other businesses (like orange theory fitness). I was late to my appointment because I was expecting free, easy parking but the parking lot ended up being 100% full read more

This is my second time coming! I am 8 months PP and my hair has been different since having a baby. The first time I came I was freshly PP and I came with tomo and he gave me great hair cut! He listened to what I wanted and showed me before cutting if I was ok with it and when he was doing my layers too! This time I booked with Ayumi she was very nice as well I explained about my hair loss and hair regrowth due to having a baby and I told her I wanted a hair cut to make my hair look fuller. We did a U shaped cut with long layers! I love my hair it def looks so much better. I did book online both times and they have free 1 hr parking. The hair cut comes with a nice hair wash and head massage. Even tho there is a language barrier I did get great results I also showed photos for reference. Will def be coming back and for $50 that's a steal! LA/Hollywood\Beverly hills needs to do that too because everywhere else they want $150+ min for a hair cut which is CRAZY price gouging...I like that the salon is clean, chill and quiet it's very relaxing than a loud salon with obnoxious music lol I'd also like to point out how Ayumi was great in giving me her honest opinion about how much I should cut off while keeping my length as well. I def appreciate a hair stylist who isnt "scissor happy" read more

Horrible experience. My hair was butchered. I have thick curly coarse textured hair which I told him about. I also mentioned that usually I get a dry cut because it's easy to get lost with the lines. He didn't care, still cut it wet. Cut way too much then we agreed on. The layers are ridiculous. It looks like I have a mullet. I haven't had my hair this short in over 10 years. What a joke. Letting someone who needs someone else how to tell him to cut cutting hair for the public. This dude should still be in a student environment where people know they're at risk of their hair being jacked up. Blow dried my hair, didn't put any product in it and then flat ironed half my hair and expected me to leave the salon looking like that. Are you for real? I can't believe I took a chance at this place and fell for the social media hype. read more

I just got my haircut by Nao, and I absolutely love it! I found this place through a friend and decided to give it a try. I'm usually super picky when it comes to my haircuts, so I was a little nervous and I'm glad I did. There was a slight language barrier at first, but I explained what I wanted and showed a reference picture, and Nao did exactly what I asked for! I'm so happy with how my haircut turned out. Plus, the wash and style were included, and everything was only $50! Definitely worth it. I'll be coming back! read more

Tomo is amazing. Gentle with my hair and pays great attention to detail. For $50, I got a wash with a very relaxing scalp massage, a cut, and a blowout. I came in for a trim and I felt like my wish to reserve my hair length was respected. No scissor happy hands here! Needless to say, I will be back :) read more

Soho New York - the layers are layering ‍ - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been searching since I moved to LA for an affordable haircut. I've never been pleased with any haircut, whether expensive or inexpensive, so I'd rather find a good deal. I found a random TikTok about this place and realized they had great reviews on Yelp and Google and decided to give it a shot. They have a website where you can easily make an appointment convenient for me I hate talking on the phone. The salon is on Melrose and having a free 1-hour parking lot is a big plus! I booked my appointment with Tomo since he came up in most of the reviews I read. I showed him some pics of what I wanted and got started right away. First hair wash that included a little scalp massage which was nice. Then he started to cut my hair and made sure to check in with me again about the length. Ended with a blowout. I need to learn how to blow out my hair at home because by the end I was shocked at how well the haircut turned out. Normally I like my hair curled after a haircut but this showed how nicely my layers fell. I wish I had asked Tomo to take a back shot because the layers looked so nice from behind too. The whole wash, cut, and dry lasted exactly 1 hour perfect timing to get back to my car, and the greatest part for a wash, cut, and dry it was only $50!!! I've spent more than twice that amount before and was never as happy with my cut! Also, my hair was touching my lower back! I can't thank Tomo enough and he was so nice too. I tipped 30%. My hair feels so great and light. Highly recommend!! read more

Soho New York - Haircut by Tomo - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I saw a tiktok about Soho and gave them a try bc the prices were hard to beat for LA and am so glad I did. I requested the full color, cut, and shampoo package and Ayumi was the sweetest. The salon was bright and clean and the vibe was very chic inside. Ayumi took the time to discuss with me the color palette and what was possible without bleach per my preference. It came out a little redder than what I was imagining but that comes with the roulette of trying to lighten dark without bleach. The cut was exactly what I wanted, which I had been trying from several other places to no avail. I told Ayumi her blowouts alone already have me dropping drybar. Can't wait to see her again for my next cut! read more

Clean space, appointment starts right on time and friendly staff. oh and of course a $50 cut, style and dry is a bonus! A well deserved shoutout to Tomo - who is exceptional! I asked for lots of layers and curtain bangs expecting it to be great and what i usually expect, but he went steps above I couldn't believe my hair could look this great or the style would look even better! Absolutely phenomenal. I am definitely returning for him and will tell my friends/ family about this new gem in melrose!! read more

The best of the best. I only trust Tomo and SoHo NY with my hair. His attention to detail and precision when cutting and styling is amazing. ‍ read more

I do not recommend this place. They talk a big game on social media. I've called and left messages. I even texted one of the hairdressers. I have never heard back from anyone this was weeks ago. I guess they don't need my business. I was going to treat my wife, but I guess you can't believe what you hear on social media all the time I would not recommend this place. read more

Tomo did such a great job with my haircut. He was very detailed with it. Wash, head massage, and blowout was included. Def coming back! would soo recommend! 10/10 read more

Soho New York - Haircut only by Tomo! - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I'd have say this was easily one the best haircut experience I have ever had. I have dry, frizzy, curly hair and it's almost impossible to find someone that knows how to cut it and also what cut works with this hair type. I For whatever reason, haircuts are traumatic for me, so trusting is a big thing. And I think he picked up on that and he was very supportive and helpful. I read up on Tomo and Tsugumi and they have great training and skills. I had grown my hair out and wanted a shorter cut but wasn't quite sure. Tomo looked at my hair texture and knew right away what to do. Wash, scalp massage and a cut for 50 dollars in LA? Without pretentiousness and the whole nonsense show? Unbelievable I love my hair cut and experience and will be back and recommending this place to all my friends. read more

Unfortunately I've tried everyday for a week now to call them to book an appointment since there are none online. They never answer the phone. Unfortunately TikTok made this place blow up and they can't keep up with the demand read more

Tomo is amazing!! OMG. I am actually hesitant to write a review cause am in fear for others to find this place and it will either start being 1) too booked or 2) too expensive. Haircut- $50!!! It's not a gimmick. I have long hair and just couldn't believe the price. I almost felt ashamed paying that low for my amazing haircut. I left a nice tip but I think the last time I paid that was when I was in college. The haircut itself is HIGH QUALITY. Tomo shampoo-d my hair very thoroughly and then he cut my hair exactly how I wanted it. Tomo took such great care in doing my haircut. I have paid 3 times as much for a haircut that was not as good. Parking was a breeze on the street. I am definitely coming back and probably switching to Soho New York to do my hair from now on. You can thank me later if you read this review for this discovery. :) read more

I liked this placed but book two months in advance. Who lives their life that far in advance. Plus no walk ins?

I have had my haircut twice at this salon - first by Tomo and then today by Ayumi. Both haircuts were just beautiful and I will happily return to either stylist. My hair is not easy to cut, it's baby fine, but thick. And tends to easily frizz. Tomo - two months ago - and Ayumi today, each shaped my hair so that I can easily style it at home. Lovely people, fantastic service. And I am so happy to find a salon with talented staff that I can afford. read more

Great haircut by Tomo! So kind and despite a funny language mixup (not regarding hair), he knew exactly what I wanted for my hair. Thank you, Tomo! I'll be back. read more

I loved it here. Great service. Unbelievable price. Check them out. Kinda hard to get an appointment but keep trying.

I got an excellent cut and color by Tomo for an affordable price of $155 (excluding tip). Tomo is a skilled hairdresser who gave me exactly what I wanted. The salon itself is clean and quiet. There's a free parking lot in the back. I'll definitely be returning! read more

Such great customer service and experience. Gumi did any amazing job. The vibes are super chill and friendly. Very great price too!! Def recommend!! read more

My neighbor told me where she got her amazing haircut so I finally booked my own appointment with Tomo today, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome! We looked at a few photos and he made sure he knew exactly how much I wanted to cut off, then it was time to shampoo. The shampoo experience was amazing because I got a great head massage--it was an energetic exchange that I didn't know I needed! After the shampoo he wet-cut my hair with such precision and attention to detail. He blow dried my hair and did some final touches to the end pieces to make them piecey like I like. I will definitely be returning & I highly recommend Tomo! read more

Soho New York - Face-framing layers with beachy ends vibe - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great haircut. Will be coming back. Tomo cut my hair exactly how I asked and the price was very fair. Thank you very much for the service.

Tomo is great and really made my day with his excellent customer service. Great haircut

I think this place is okay. I will say the price is pretty great. I paid $160 for hair cut and color including my tip, and that's hard to beat in LA. The color came out amazing, although I asked for dark cool toned brown and there's a ton of red in the undertone. The haircut was good, not amazing, and I had to remind the stylist several times to even out the sides of my hair or cut layers around my face with a taper or even out the sides - otherwise he was going to just leave it irregular. My bangs are still not quite cut evenly. The most disappointing thing was the styling. I could have done a better job myself. He didn't use heat protectant, and my hair came out extremely frizzy, dry, and not shiny. No brush techniques, no asking how I wanted it styled. And my bangs came out with a gap in the middle. He insisted all of this was because of my natural hair texture not being straight, or the natural wave of my hair. I'll attach a photo of me having rewashed and styled my bangs and you'll see no gap was very easy to achieve. It took me five minutes. My concern is - how does he handle clients who have wavy or curly hair? I'm not convinced he works with people who don't have pin straight silky hair naturally, or even knows what to do. I mean, it was pretty appalling to leave the studio with my hair in the state it was in and no care or concern to fix it. . You would think a hair stylist would want to make their client's hair look as good as possible. Finally - it's not cool to judge your clients. He said "you shouldn't change your natural hair color", when it's not up to him, and kept asking why I wasn't at work (I work in freelance and often at night - I'm a musician). read more

Free parking, spacious salon, attentive staff, and a $50 haircut from a seasoned Japanese hair stylist! I got a quality haircut from Tomo this week and am supper happy with it. The salon is fairly new and there are lots of appointments available. You don't have to wait for weeks and months, or pay hundreds or dollars of money! I am honestly so surprised by this amazing deal. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Truly the best haircut I have ever gotten! My friend, who has similar hair to mine, had recommended Tomo and the Soho New York salon. I went in for a haircut on Sunday and asked for long layers and face framing layers. I was a little nervous because I've had some bad experiences in the past with layers looking choppy in my naturally straight hair. However, that was not the case at all! Tomo's attention to detail and blending of the layers looks so seamless. Tomo is extremely professional and polite and the prices are extremely affordable. I tipped $50 on the $50 haircut because I was that happy with the results. I will definitely be coming back and recommending him to anyone who asks! read more

Shout out to TOMO and TSUGUMI *100!!!* I booked an appointment with TOMO to get a change in haircut/style and it's an understatement to say it's a haircut cause it was a work of ART! It was an amazing experience! His attention to detail and his style was on point! He mentioned English wasn't his strong suit but I had a great time talking about food and past experiences! He's a solid dude and I def recommend to go here such great personalities and professionalism! TSUGUMI worked on my wife's hair and she is super skillful as well! I loved the way everything turned out. She took her time to get it beyond just right! She was SOLID and also recommend having her work her magic I'll upload some pictures as soon as we get some of our pics from our photoshoot! I recommend this location to anyone looking for a great quality hair-style/cut read more

Quite possibly the best $50 I've ever spent on my hair. Tomo was incredible. So kind and talented. Made me feel like a million bucks. Excellent head massage and relatively quick haircut and blow dry! Will definitely be back and will be recommending this spot to everyone. Also $50 for a haircut with shampoo and blow dry is unheard of anywhere in LA. DO NOT PASS ON THIS DEAL!!!! read more

I'm so happy my year-long search for a hair salon is finally over. Tomo did such an amazing job, and he's my go-to hairstylist from now on. 10 out of 10. read more

As I travelled home people were noticing me in a good way! Thank you TSUGUMI for the amazing haircut. It is so cutting edge. I am so happy you took the extra time to do a little bit more. I wish I had $1000.00 just to tip you with. As an art person I am always budgeting. So your prices with the tip I gave was perfect for me. I am grateful for your existence and the great service you provided me. As an aside for others, you may want to bring an alcohol pad with you as both hairdressers knicked me once with clippers and once with scissors. But I have to say I am in love with my haircut. I think it just happens on occasion that one might be cut. I use to cut my boyfriend's hair and I would always cut my hand. read more

LOVE TOMO!!! He is amazing, his technique is superb. Clean, fresh, chic cut. I would highly recommend this place.

I had to find a salon close to home. My friend recommended this place. They have a lot of parking spaces available in a lot next to the building. The place is well-lit and well-maintained. Appointments can be done online or via phone. I was lucky to have Gumi do my haircut and root touch-up. As a first timer, she started with a consultation to discuss my current hair condition. She took time to go over my haircut options. She was very thorough as she was doing the roots. As she was washing my hair, it was very relaxing while she also massaging my scalp. I will definitely leave my hair in the care of Gumi's hands. Haircut $50 First-Time Root Touch-Up $85 read more

I moved to LA for college and I'm extremely particular about my hair. I've only ever trusted 3 people in total (4 now because of this experience!) with my hair throughout my life. I value my hair so much and so I was scared of trying a new place. I've tried those famous instagram places and they haven't gone well. So I was cautious when trying this place, but I was extremely happy with my hair cut. I got it done by a nice lady who reminded me of my own Asian mother as she gave little head massages when washing my hair and was very careful. I showed her a few pictures of what I wanted and kind of help guide her with the exact length I wanted which she made easy as she checked in with me multiple times (I'm an extreme introvert and feel bad when making interjections) which made me feel more comfortable. Since this is basically an Asian hair salon, it is pretty easy asking for popular asian hair styles. I got slightly above the chest cut with long layers, V cut in the back with face framing pieces and shortening of my over grown curtain bangs. I am surprised that this place doesn't have more reviews as it is a pretty good place. read more

Great haircut for such a low price! This place definately doesn't break your bank but you still get the same level of luxury and proffesionalism as more expensivve salons. The salon has a minimalistic vibe and is very comforting. Tsugumi was my hair stylist and she gave me exactly what I wanted while tweaking it where it fits my face shape! The cut was only $50 and it came with a wash that was so nice! read more

I had a design haircut with Tomo and he was absolutely wonderful: attentive, thorough, professional, and very kind. He gave me the exact cut I asked for and made the entire experience a pleasure. The salon was quiet and clean, very comfortable. Can't recommend enough. Thank you, Tomo! read more
