    Ash blonde with platinum grey toner... Victoria never ceases to amaze me with her work! This place is a dream come true for all hairs!

    Curly haircut

    Victoria and one of her students worked together to give me a beautifully shaped haircut! My hair is really thick and curly, and it's kind of hard to deal with so I'm really thankful for the care and attention that they put into it :)

    Best decision ever! I can't believe I waited so long to go. Initially I thought it was expensive but the time I have saved styling my hair is priceless. Alternatively I have used the brazilian blow out which is so short lived and very damaging long term to my hair. Victoria was amazing. She was careful not to fry my hair, and walked me through the process so I felt very comfortable the whole time. The salon was hustling when I went in and I couldn't believe there weren't more reviews. My hair was very curly; being that I am Creole and Spanish. I was a little skeptical since I hadn't found reviews from people with similar hair, but once in the salon I saw 2 girls with very curly hair like me! Thats when I promised to post a before and after on here! Initially my hair was a little dry although she had trimmed me up. She gave me very specific care instructions which I followed precisely, no hair dye for 2 months or hair cuts. My hair was stick straight for a few weeks and the tips were a little dusty (mind you my hair has been bleached and processed countless times before). Getting ready now is soo so easy in the mornings, rolling out of bed and not looking like a train wreck was the absolute best. I just got my first hair cut after 3 months and it looks so healthy! The stick straight chilled out a bit and I constantly get compliments on how shiny my hair looks (first time hearing that). I can go a couple days without restyling my hair, I go swimming without fretting over my afro emerging, and the rain and humidity do not scare me anymore! One of my biggest concerns was what would happen when my natural hair started growing, especially since you have to wait at-least 6 months in between touch ups.I have about 1.5" of regrowth, but its pretty manageable, I just blow dry my part and hairline with a paddle brush and I'm out the door.

    Side view!

    Oh my goodness! They went above and beyond my expectations-my purple and blue balayage turned out even better than what I wanted! Sally is really really talented; she was so considerate and kind, too! I LOVE that the director lady helped her every step of the way. I loved the way she spoke to her students with such respect. I'm moving out of town, but I'll definitely come back when I visit for holidays. I am very satisfied. Talented and detailed student(s) & Kind and respectful director. What more can you ask for?

    Miss Victoria is an incredible woman! She runs a tight ship with her beauty students, they seem to all out in their best work and seem very passionate. I got a manicure and hair do here - loved it! I'm about to get a cut and color this afternoon :)

    I don't color my hair but my coif can get quite unruly without obligatory blow drying after shower. Decided to try Japanese hair straightening aka tiki at the suggestion of a friend who had it done. Free parking in back. Whole process took about 3 hours and the damage was about $250. Clean establishment, common to have two people working on you at once to get the job faster. Excellent service, loved having Victoria as the captain of my hair did. Can't shower for two days but at least you don't need special shampoos.

I arranged childcare and missed work for this appointment. When I arrived, the front desk staff (not the person who booked me) realized there had been no communication about needing to wash and blow-dry my hair before braiding. I explained that Nancy had never informed me of this, and thankfully the front desk kindly honored the original quoted price. After my hair was washed and blow-dried by Christina, we were about to start braiding when Nancy stormed in and abruptly demanded that the service stop until I paid extra for the wash and blow dry. She was loud, rude, and dismissive -- even putting her hand in my face when I tried to explain the miscommunication. She told me not to speak because she was "talking to her student, not me." She then touched my hair and began making discriminatory comments about its length and thickness, saying that it would "cost more" but refusing to give me an exact price. Instead of resolving the issue, she escalated it, argued, and ultimately instructed the student to stop the service entirely. When I asked for her supervisor, she claimed she was the boss and the supervisor, blocking any accountability -- until I insisted and was finally able to speak to the actual administrator, who was kind and understanding. This unnecessary conflict wasted 25 minutes of my appointment, leaving the students pressed for time and forcing my service to be cut down to 2 braids instead of the 4 I had booked. I want to be clear: the students and instructors were professional, kind, and compassionate throughout this. The only problem was Nancy Lopez. Her behavior was unprofessional, hostile, and completely unacceptable in an educational or customer-facing environment. I will be reporting her to the board for her conduct. If you book services here, please know the students are talented and respectful, but the administration -- at least under Nancy Lopez -- is another story.

    I was reminiscing today about my prior time in LA and remembered needing to review this place…read morebecause it's actually GREAT. This little beauty academy located in little Tokyo is where I used to go to get my Japanese straightening treatments done! I had waist length 3c curly hair so the first time they did the Japanese straightening it took 4 hours and two hair stylists - one of whom was Yasuko. I'm sure she's long gone having graduated but she was fabulous and so sweet! She and her co-stylist took really good care of me that day. And because it's a styling school the prices are lower: my Japanese treatment had only cost $100. I attached a pic of the result -- QUITE successful! I went back 2-3 more times after to get my roots done as they grew out curly of course, but after about 2 years of rocking pin straight hair I decided to stop treatments. I now have super short curly hair because the Japanese straightening treatments are permanent of course - the only way to get back to curly is to cut it off once the treatment has been done~ but that is what I wanted at the time! The one thing I do want to comment on is accessibility of this place: it's about as far east in LA as you can get. I lived near UCLA on the west side and didn't have a car, so I used to take the bus to get here and the ride was almost an hour, and lands you in a not-so-nice spot in East LA which is a short walk from the beauty school. Just be mindful of that if you're in a similar situation... I used to always plan the hair treatments early on Saturdays so it was light out both coming and going from the salon. While the outside area isn't very nice though, inside the salon is quite modern! It did strike me as a school though, there were lots of hair tools/products all over. But nevertheless, everything was clean. Overall absolutely recommend getting your hair done here, the staff/students do a really good job and you can get treatments cheaper than at an established salon!

    I was tired of paying half of my kidney for the haircuts, and someone suggested to try school…read moresalons. So I made an appointment for phase 2 students since I saw some interesting reviews on Yelp about the phase 1's services. The problem started when I arrived there was no available phase 2 student though I made the appointment prior. I was asked to get phase 1 student instead and now I know I should've declined but I wasn't thinking much and just giving a try though it was bit menacing. Now my hair looks like a sad gloster canary(the bird with a bang). And the worst thing is since it's too short there's no way to fix this for few weeks till my hair gets long enough to do something while I'm teaching kids. I'm gonna be extra roasted like an espresso blend I wouldn't have minded lack of skillsets if least the direction was ok but my new 'hairstyle' isn't matching my reference at all except being short overall. (btw it was photos of myself with former haircuts that I liked and I told them I want that hairstyles) I understand they're still learning and not familiar with asian hairstyles but I hope if there's someone supervising before thing gets pretty weird - I knew I'd get what I paid for but now I'm looking for wigs and hats so be aware of the lowest point you could possibly get. The place itself was nice and clean street parking was fairly fine since it was weekday morning. People were really nice too. Just my hair got chopped making me looking like some supreme leader but yeah.
