Was referred to Stephanie by another stylist so that tells you right there that she is freaking awesome. I am soooooo happy to have found her. Not only did she do a kick ass job but she is a hoot and lovely person to spend 3 hours with. I was especially looking for someone who is good with blondes and I would say she nailed it. She has a wait for appointments - another testament to her quality! read more

I first started getting my hair done by Stephanie a few years back and instantly loved her! She was always so honest about what she could do in terms of color and cut and always told me all the details of keeping my hair healthy!

If you're looking for an awesome stylist, visit Stephanie! So worth it! read more

Stephanie Medina - Awesome vibrant purple! So much fun! Thanks Stephanie! - Hair Salons Near Me - El Segundo, California

"Life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges, but eventually you find a hairstylist who understands you." Over the years my daughters and I've had the pleasure of getting our hair done by Stephanie & we can't imagine our lives without her! She loves her work and is passionate about creating hairstyles that make us feel our absolute best. Her beautiful studio is located on the corner of PCH and 16th street in Hermosa Beach inside Salon Republic. Please note that there is a no charge, safe & secure parking structure (same as 24 hour fitness). She welcomes me with a smile and offers a beverage. She listens to what my expectations are and she delivers, e v e r y single time. Before she gets started she gives the most amazing shoulder massage. Only a few minutes in and I'm already feeling pampered and super relaxed!The products she uses are great, but truly it's her skill and talent that get me compliments for months. Call her, make an appointment, grab lunch by the pier and feel like a celebrity. You deserve it! read more

Stephanie has been doing my hair for 7 years. I came to know her when she was with Vicara and what I always admired about her was how detailed she is with her work. My work schedule can be demanding at times and she is very accommodating and flexible. She loves what she does and it shows. She is always open to new ideas and good at listening to what her customers want. Her prices are extremely reasonable considering the time she puts into a color and style. She uses great products. She is very hospitable and you immediately feel comfortable in her chair. I have always been happy with my haircuts, colors, highlights/lowlights and blowouts! She truly is one of a kind. read more

I love that she plays music in the background. read more

Since meeting Stephanie two years ago, she has raised the bar for hair stylists for the rest of my life. She provides such a high-class, customer-focused experience in her salon. Her energy is so present and welcoming that as soon as I walk into her salon, any stress I'd been feeling melts away. It just gets better from there! She starts every appointment with a shoulder and neck massage with peppermint oil. She is super-present and engaged throughout my appointment, and her ability to listen to what I'd like done with my hair and execute on it is incredible. Her artistry with hair cuts that compliment my face and my features is incredibly impressive, as is her ability to color my hair, that when I walk out of her salon I feel nurtured, refreshed and incredibly vibrant.
