Not only for men. I just had a fantastic haircut there. I have fine hair so I usually never love my haircuts but Raquel did some light layering and kept to the length that I wanted and my hair looks fantastic. What a find! I want to try her with my color next time. read more

First let me state that I usually don't leave 1-star reviews, in fact of all the reviews I've left on Yelp I've only given three total 1-star reviews. It takes a lot for me to give a bad review as I am a big believer in supporting small businesses. I wanted to try Studio One Eleven because of all the 5-star reviews I saw on Yelp. I was really looking forward to seeing what all the hype was about. I showed up today at 10:15 am (blocked out a couple hours from work) and Raquel was with another customer, turns out I made an appointment for the wrong day. The first red flag came up with how rude she was to me when I thought it was a tech error with the booking system, her response verbatim was "well obviously it was your user error because the system says the appointment is for next week." I was pretty turned off at that point, but luckily she had a customer who eased the awkwardness and called out it happened to him last week. She made things a little better by offering me a 7:15pm spot if I wanted it. Since I am in desperate need of a haircut I took it, but I normally would've just passed and found another spot to try, because I think it's VERY important to have good rapport with your stylist...you're in a chair for 30+ min, it will be awkward to have someone you think is rude touching your hair and giving them control of your appearance. I came back at 7:00pm for my appointment and the building door has a note instructing customers to call their stylist to let them in the building due to COVID protocols. I call Raquel and it goes straight to voicemail. I call her again because maybe it was a connection error and same thing. I give it a couple of min and email her thinking she might be with a customer and can't get to her phone. It is now 7:10pm and I'm a little worried that maybe she forgot. I call her one last time to see if I can get through, NOTHING straight to voicemail. I start walking to my car and she texts me "with a customer, text me". As I begin texting her back she calls me and says in probably one of the rudest tones I've heard in a while "hey stop blowing up my phone I'm with a customer. Don't you know I cut hair for a living and can't pick up when I'm taking care of someone?". As a new customer I just couldn't believe someone would be so rude to not even have the decency or common sense to simply politely ask me to wait and let me know that she'll be out shortly to open the front door. Customer service is so important and it seems to be a lost art for Raquel and Studio One Eleven. I can't comment on the skill she may have as a stylist, but I certainly wouldn't trust someone cutting my hair with her rude attitude and approach to communication with her customers....after all with a rocky start I wouldn't trust people who don't like me with sharp objects near my face. Raquel, if you are reading this, I hope you were just having a bad day and it's not a reflection of who you are as a professional. Your communication and ability to empathize with customers is poor at best. I hope this review doesn't stunt your business in any way, but shines a light on how you treat people as you are in a services business. Anyone considering this hair salon should ask themselves how much they value customer service and good conversation with their hair stylist...I certainly do and wouldn't want to sit in a chair for 30+ min talking to someone who clearly has no time for me or cares about what I think. Response to comment below: as you can see from the owner's response the "bs is not my jam" personality trait gives her the audacity to be rude. I apologize for the following: 1) being early to an appointment, what an inconvenience 2) Not knowing how to get into a building or where to go for being a first time customer 3) Being SOOO inconsiderate and self centered that I'd give someone who was rude to me from the jump a 2nd chance because although she was rude she did make an effort to make it right, so why nit give someone the benefit of the doubt, guess that's a self-centered trait. I guess in Raquel's eyes I should thank her for allowing me to give her my business. Like I said in my OG review. Anyone who values someone with an actual sense for service who doesn't come off self entitled should reconsider going to this shop. But give it a try hopefully you don't have the same experience as me. read more

I've been going to Raquel for years. She's great. One of the first hair cut places where I've never felt like I'm making awkward small talk. Might give you some recommendation on your first cut, but never pushy. Whatever you want, she delivers. The best for short haircuts! Finally leaving a review now that I've left CA! read more

My boyfriend's hair had been growing out and after a few not-so-great experiences with his barber, we both decided it was time for him to visit an actual hair stylist. We were able to make an appointment with Raquel for the weekend, which was awesome! She is so friendly, listens to all your ideas, questions, & concerns, and really seems to know her stuff. In no time, the mop on top of the bf's head was transformed into a beautifully sculpted masterpiece. Raquel even helped with suggestions on how to style his hair and what kinds of products to use. She's awesome, hilarious, and full of energy. We'll be back in another three months or so for a trim. read more

It's not easy to find a better place for haircuts, I speak from experience. Raquel is very warm and welcoming and she consistently does a great job. read more

After one cut I knew I never wanted anyone else to cut my hair. My bad, I meant service my hair. Kamile has the it factor. She has the ability to get you in and out without making you feel rushed at all. She's the best. I love being in a hair studio because the vibe is always chill and you can let your guard down. I highly HIGHLY recommend a cut from Kamile. read more

Great result, clean shop, and very nice. One thing that's a must for me is the sterilizing soak of blades in between cuts, and she does that. Also, she's very thorough and makes sure that a fade is clean and not missing loose hairs here and there. I was very pleased and will be back! read more

Raquel is hands-down the best! Not only is she a great stylist, she has top-notch customer service! We always have such a great time talking while in the chair, and she's really gone out of her way to accommodate her customers during covid. She books up quickly, so I always recommend booking your spot well in advance! read more

Just got my first cut at studio one eleven. Raquel is a pro and did a wonderful job removing my mane. It was a friendly pleasant experience. read more

Kamile is by far the best barber on the West Coast! Her energy is electronic and her nurturing nature really makes you feel at home! She knows exactly what to do for your hair and is so powerful in her approach to barbering. I'd take a class form her if she taught one! Her technique is impeccable, her professionalism is one to be admired and replicated. If you haven't booked an appointment with her DO IT NOW! Do yourself a service and sit in her chair! Life changing! read more

Kamile is by far the best fader/barber I have ever seen. She always gets it perfect. And all quickly and affordability. Her place is easy to find and there's even a parking structure across the street. And every time I leave there I feel like a million bucks. She is so easy to talk with if that's your thing. The music is always good and there are lollipops. Seriously she's the favorite appointment of my months. read more

I would be lost without Raquel! I've had so many mediocre haircuts in the past, but I always walk away from my appointments with her extremely satisfied and with a smile on my face. She really listens to what cut you want and works meticulously to make it happen! Would recommend her to anyone! read more

I have met the hands and precision of an Angel. When my cousin introduced me to Kamile when I moved back to LA. My first thought was a woman barber and after going to her for 3 yrs I will never let a man cut my hair again. She is the go-to to stay fresh professional and punctual. I recommend her Services!! read more

A short story. I was a wildland fire fighter for eight years. One of these years, I joined the Blue Ridge Hotshots in Arizona. This was the crew attached to the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots who perished in 2013. I have to mention that because one practice that is done on a shot crew is growing a beard that represents a brotherhood during a given season and my first time growing one. It embodies a sense of trusting your life into the hands of a crew. It represents the hard hours of fighting fire with men you grow to love and respect there after. I grew one of the most rugged beards as many we practice long before it became hip to pop culture. Yet, leaving the forest I found myself looking pretty rough in Los Angeles so I reached out to Kamile to find a middle ground between honoring my experience in what I had done with great men of the service as well as find a look polished enough for my family. When I tell you, she nailed it. It was faded nicely and lined to precision. I felt like a million bucks and as well as a humble firefighter. Thank you for keeping my values in your great work, Kamile. read more

Raquel ROCKS! I came in with a picture of Bradley Cooper and Raquel immediately went to work and voila -- well, I still look like me, but me with an awesome haircut! Raquel listens to what I want but when it's dumb or doesn't make sense she's honest and direct. She gives great haircuts with a lot of attention to detail, and as an added bonus she's hysterical and sweet and fun and great to talk to. I have been going to her for years now (don't make me count) and I highly recommend her. read more

Raquel is fantastic! Reasonably priced, clean studio, and she knows what she's doing. So glad to have found her!

I went to Raquel for a year or two back when I was living in LA. After struggling (and failing) to find a hair stylist equivalent to her in nyc that isn't freakishly expensive I figured I should come back and give her a shoutout. I went to A LOT of stylists in West LA before I found Raquel and after her I never went anywhere else. She is very kind and a lot of fun to talk with, and she is fantastic at what she does. I have very thick hair that I usually wear pretty long, which a lot of places don't know what to do with but she was great. Can't recommend enough. read more

Raquel is damn near the perfect barber not only does she cut hair like a champion but she always is having a great time! Not many barbers are as awesome and honest as Raquel. She provides fresh cuts everytime and tops it off with microbrew to sip and relax with, plus we talk the entire time about funny stories or random sh*t. I highly recommend studio111 read more

I am a male in my 20s and just went to Studio One Eleven last week. Raquel is great. I've spent the past two years looking for a good hair stylist in Westwood to schedule regular appointments with, and I've found her. What sets Raquel apart from the rest is not her friendliness and down-to-earth personality (though these are definitely perks), but rather her attention to detail. Specifically, she goes to great lengths (pun intended) to make sure that you get the hair cut you are looking for. I've noticed that it's typical for stylists to periodically ask "Is this the right length?" Etc. Raquel, however, really makes sure, throughout the entire process, that you're getting the cut you want. She asks for feedback, and rather than a yes-or-no "Long enough?" she strategizes with you about your look. Will definitely return. ALSO, I found out that she has a student discount of $10 (but not on Saturdays.) read more

Raquel is the best! I've been going to her for over 6 years and now have 6 different friends that go to her as well. You can't go anywhere else. read more

Such an amazing time! Raquel is super talented and really knows her stuff!

Never disappointed when I go see Kamile, not only is the haircut ALWAYS fresh and so clean but the conversation/vibe is just as dope and amazing as well. She will always make sure you are good with the cut before you leave her chair and will always just make sure you're overall in good spirit before she sends you on your way. You won't be disappointed at all, and I guarantee she will become your permanent barber. Check her out. read more

It's like therapy, Have you feeling and looking like a king before you leave. Fun and motivating type of vibe, I love it here. ‍

This was my first time stepping into this place, and boy was it sweet! The room was very relaxing and Raquel cut my hair exactly as I asked. She has perfected her craft and shows it. read more

So I have gone to Raquel for years while she was working at Floyd's 99, and I had no second thoughts about following her to her new digs at studio one eleven. Before Raquel I had bounced around to lots of different stylists, sometimes paying up to 50 bucks for a haircut, but I have never found someone with such a great combination of skill, personality and reasonable price until I found Raquel. Sooo much better than a supercuts or other chain, she takes her time and makes sure you come out looking great, and does it all for $25. And, beer with a cut?! Awesome. I won't go anywhere else, and I can't recommend her highly enough. read more

I have been going to Raquel for three years and would not trust anyone else with my haircut. She regularly listens to my five minute power point presentations about what I want my hair to look like and then translates that into an actionable plan for a haircut. She has been a great friend to myself and my domestic partner Jack Bowwower and I look forward to seeing her every two to three weeks to tame my Jewnicorn (the front of my hair gets long and pointy and I am a Jew = Jewnicorn). 10 out of 5 stars! read more

Probably the longest review I'll ever write for anything, but I feel like Raquel's work really deserves it. There's more energy in this than any of the essays I bullshitted last quarter. One of the best things about getting a haircut here is how well she tailors the cut to me specifically and with such consistency every visit. I attend school here in LA but I live way up north, so when I get a haircut here, it can be anywhere from 2-6 months since the last time I'd seen Raquel. The first time I got a haircut here, I didn't really know what I wanted. I just asked Raquel to give me something pretty short but anything else she thought would be fitting, she was free to do. It turned out amazing and everything I'd hoped for. I've always anticipated my haircuts elsewhere to deviate a little with each successive visit. Sometimes I'll like a cut more, sometimes less, a sad reality I think we can all relate to. So when I had my second appoint with Raquel, maybe 5 months later, I didn't expect to get the exact same perfect haircut as last time. I crossed my fingers and just gave the same minimal direction--something nice and short with her freedom to take the reigns from there. Yet she managed to reproduce the exact same, flattering haircut. Of my 4 or so cuts with Raquel since, I've gotten this near exact, perfect haircut each time. On that second visit, there's no way she could remember the haircut she gave to some random guy 5 months ago. Particularly with that client being some generic Asian dude, considering the traffic of customers she must get from UCLA. What this really showed me is the attention to detail she's really giving me. Essentially all I asked her for was something short and flattering, really putting trust in her hands. And Raquel really works to honor and do just that. She spots and thinks through all the little snips and buzzes that'll compliment not only my kind of hair and my head shape but even my general clothing style and personality. When I get a haircut here, it doesn't just feel like some separate component added to my persona. It feels like Raquel is helping me to complete and highlight the way I want to see myself and the way I hope others do too. This all probably sounds quite over dramatic, but my haircuts had always been something I'd been pretty self-conscious and unhappy about when I was a younger. I'll miss these haircuts when I graduate in a few years, thank you again, Raquel. read more

Love this girl! She did my roots, and most of the time those stubborn grays come through in a few days after a color! Meaning, the color used is not as good as Raquel's. She uses a solid, quality product, takes her time, and really makes sure it's even. Her personality is relaxing, yet funny, and can't say enough about how she makes sure I felt like a happy customer! read more

Raquel is freaking awesome. She's funny, the place is well kept, you can reserve times online, and the parking is validated, but most importantly, she gives a great cut! I don't even have to tell her what I need anymore; she just gets it right every single time. Throw in the free beer and she has a customer for life! read more

I have been going to Raquel for a few years now, she awesome. She make you feel important and nothing beats that personal VIP treatment. Love the new hair salon. read more

Raquel is the best, and she's spoiled me for all other stylists! I used to make appointments with her at the big shop in West Los Angeles, and now she's got a great new setup in Westwood Village. The decor and music reflect Raquel's fun personality. She really takes the time to get to know you, as well as your hair, and the cut itself is always perfect. read more

Raq does a great job and knows exactly how to determine which style suits the individual. Great service and terrific cut!

Raquel is really chill and she's really got skills and the heart to give you that haircut you want! She is patient and will work the details with you. I was here to get a hair cut like early Mike Tyson, and she delivered! Great service! read more

I fear I am growing bald. It is not that bad, but I can tell my hair is thinning, and there is noticeably (to me, anyway) less hair on my crown. Yes, that means the days of styling my hair are numbered; so, I take my hair seriously. Raquel is like that older cousin when I was a freshman in high school who knew all the cool seniors and let me hang out with them. Think Freaks & Geeks meets Dazed & Confused meets Edward Scissorhands. Actually, she is more like the hair stylist version of Iron Chef. At times, it might seem like I go in and say, "today's secret hair style is, monkfish," and she will pull out the most bad-ass hair cut that carries the essence of what I asked for. I once asked for a 'Christiano Ronaldo but suitable for the work place." I later found out that the girl I started dating a few days later was really turned on by my hair style (Ok, ordering in the native language at an ethnic restaurant might also have had something to do with it). What can I say, why live vicariously through other people when a few minutes in Raquel's chair will turn me into whatever or whomever I want myself? Taking one second aside to not talk about how Raquel makes ME feel, as my cousin (who also is her client) would say, "She's good people." The first time I met her, we bonded over surfing and soccer (she's from the beaches of Orange County and a long-time season ticket holder with the LA Galaxy), and since then, I feel at ease talking to her about all sorts of matters. tldr: went in to look good, have been going back for the good company and friendship. read more

Raquel is the absolute BEST. Been going to her for almost 10 years, and have followed her wherever she goes. Its 17 miles from where I live now and it just doesn't matter. She is WORTH IT!!! read more

Raquel is hands down the best mens hair stylist I have had. Until Raquel I had never had someone that I consistently went to. She has created a great low key vibe. It is a private studio so you don't have to try to talk over anyone else or worry that their listening to your life details or have to hear theirs. She is genuine, kind, and very talented. I recommend her to everyone I know. Most importantly she cuts exactly what you want or can help you find what looks good if you're looking for something new. Her hair cuts are amazing and the whole experience is so easy. The best part is I just text her to see when she's available and she is so responsive! Try her! read more

I've been getting my haircuts from Raquel for over 4 years. Glad I found her after she left her old place. She keeps a card file with how I like my hair and she is always fun to chat with. Unless the Galaxy has lost a game the previous day. I bring my daughter to her now for cuts. The kid refuses to let anyone else cut her hair. Great pricing for the high quality work. read more

Raquel is the best! She's a really cool person and she gives great haircuts. Definitely go and see her.

She's simply the best, Raquel is not only friendly but very talented. She knows how to please an English boy, and that's usually a hard one! She absolutely gave me the hairstyle I wanted, the fade was perfect and her suggestions were also great. My hair looks great, I got a few girls heads turning with the smooth fade! :) I recommend her highly if you care about your hair. read more

Raquel is the shit. I've been going to her for a little over a year now and have never once had an even somewhat less than satisfactory haircut. Super friendly with ANY client. Very communicative and super skillful and accommodating when it comes to a clients desire for how they want their hair to look. Not to mention she's super cool and always provides an amazing time while you're there. And she loves soccer. Safe to say I'll never have anyone else cut my hair again if I can help it. read more
