I recently visited Hair Arca to cut off my damaged ends, and they absolutely did not disappoint!…read more I was honestly a little nervous about going shorter. I have a small head, my hair tends to fall flat, and past short haircuts have made me look older than I actually am. But Caleb completely changed my perspective. He took the time to create a cut that complemented my facial features perfectly. The result? My face looks brighter, more defined, and so much more youthful! I walked out feeling lighter, refreshed, and so much more confident. (I'm honestly a little embarrassed my sweater didn't do the haircut justice. I should've dressed cuter today! ) Before the haircut, Helen washed my hair and treated my scalp with the Arca Genol Head Spa & Hair Pack, followed by the most relaxing scalp massage. As someone who struggles with an itchy scalp and dandruff, I was genuinely amazed. My scalp felt instant relief, and even now I'm not scratching my head at all. It leaves such a soothing, cooling sensation that's perfect for the summer. If you're looking for a fresh new hairstyle, talented stylists who truly care about finding the right look for you, and a scalp treatment that actually works, I highly recommend checking out Hair Arca. And if you fall in love with the Arca Genol Head Spa & Hair Pack like I did, you can even order it on Amazon. Treat yourself. You won't regret it!

I was a little hesitant booking because I've had two digital perms before that I loved, and I had a…read morevery specific curl pattern in mind. I found Hair by Julianne Cho and was booked with Sumi, and I'm so glad I trusted her! Sumi was incredibly sweet, patient, and attentive throughout the entire appointment. She actually recommended a softer, wavier perm, but I kept insisting I wanted it curlier (lol). She listened to exactly what I wanted while still giving me honest professional advice, which I really appreciated. She also recommended getting a haircut beforehand, and I'm SO glad I listened. I have really thick hair with a lot of density, and she spent about 40 minutes cutting it. She didn't rush at all and was so meticulous. She removed just enough weight while keeping my length, added beautiful long layers, and gave my hair so much more movement and dimension. The perm came out exactly how I was hoping! My hair feels so much lighter, the curls are beautiful, and I'm honestly obsessed with the result. I drove about an hour from the Valley, and it was 100% worth it. Parking was easy, the salon was clean and adorable, and they even had snacks and drinks for clients. Overall such a great experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to make the drive again. Thank you, Sumi!

I cannot say enough good things about this salon and Jennifer!!…read more I requested a same day appointment as I had botched hair extensions put in at another salon the day before. Jennifer agreed to accommodate me and even stayed after hours to work on me. She assessed my hair and decided what to do (we ended up removing 50% of the extensions -- the previous salon had added too much hair so she could charge me for more hair, which was one of the reasons I ended up looking like I was wearing a wig). Jennifer cut the width of the extensions and replaced them at the most natural position for my head shape, and blended everything together seamlessly. Jennifer, you are amazing!!! Thank you so much. I will definitely be back!

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. I would recommend calling well in advance for your appointment, as she works generally towards the end of the week through 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.

Getting my haircut here was such a treat! There is a calm vibe to the salon, and the specialists I…read moremet are gems. It was my first wavy/curly haircut with specialists and I was lucky enough to meet Anya, who understands curly/wavy hair and the trial and error that comes with it. She asked questions to learn more about what I was looking for, and delivered! My hair has so much volume and personality with a flattering style for my face frame, and it's practical enough for me to work with on busy days. I mentioned some scalp concerns to Anya (who is a scalp specialist!) and was provided with information and possible solutions. So much care was given to cutting and styling my hair, despite being there beyond the offical closing time, yet, she did not rush me. Kiki, who worked with washing my hair and providing me with a blowout, provided explanations to products used and why. I was ready to fall asleep from the massage-like scalp/head cleanse during the shampoo stage. This is the first time I ever talked this much during my time at a salon! I really got to bond over shared interests with both Kiki and Anya. They worked their magic and are supportive, sweet and kind. I think I found a salon where I can transform, blossom and grow with people who genuinely care about their clients and hair.

I made an appointment with them 2 months back and unfortunately couldn't make it because I was…read morepregnant and I had extreme flare up of nausea and vomiting. I understand they have a cancellation policy and was told I would be charged 50%! 2 months later I made an appointment and I requested if they could waive the fee because I wasn't feeling good and it wasn't due to not just showing up. Not only did they say they can't do anything about it they now charged me 100% of the fee. First they said 50% then they said 100%! They didn't even ask if I want to use the card on file just went ahead and charged 100% I am just disappointed in how they are not understanding of when people can't make due to sickness or some things come up last minute and treating people crappy during pregnancy! Understanding goes a long way when you have a business! Take your business elsewhere where they don't treat returning customers like shit!

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.

As a mom who has never gotten more than blond highlights, I called Hair with lots of questions. I'm terrible with names, but the woman I spoke to (salon manager, maybe?) was incredibly nice and helpful. On the day of my daughter's appointment, every person we interacted with was so kind and excited for her first salon experience. Other stylists came and asked her questions and treated her like an adult. Daniel was AMAZING! He not only took her inspo pic and made it a reality, but he also gave her tips about how to style it herself. The sweetest part was he asked what her favorite band was and it became a part of the music rotation the whole time we were there. Super funky and cool vibe for the whole salon, too. I watched other clients getting amazing color and cuts. Definitely will go back! From me: everyone was super rad AF. My daughter was so happy, my wife thought it looked fantastic, and I would easily spend the money to have a happy daughter/wife with the cool folks who know what they are doing and it looked great. Bonus points for having snacks. Thanks, HAIR!

The shampoo experience was incredible--they lay you completely flat in the most comfortable shampoo bed I've ever experienced. The entire staff is so friendly, the music creates such a fun vibe, and they even have delicious snacks and drinks. They served the best cold brew I've ever had! If you're looking for an amazing haircut and a luxury salon experience, I can't recommend Jaimie and The Powder Room enough. I'll definitely be back!

My hair appear fragile and uneven, and my hair feels significantly thinner since this appointment. I can't even run my fingers through it .......it feels extremely dry, rough, and damaged. During styling, I also received a burn on my ear from her curling iron. When I raised concerns about the color result. It was dismissed rather than addressed.
