    So Cute!
    Parker J.

    I have been to a lot of hairdressers in my day and Nicole is by far the best. She listens to what you want and makes it happen. I am one of those people that like to try new things but also doesn't want to change so I am kind of difficult. She will make little suggestions here and there and I always love what she comes up with. I go to her every few weeks to touch up my roots and she is quick and the color is perfect every time. I am so happy to see her in her own salon. The decor is so simple and classy. She only carries the best products and always has what I need. Can't say enough nice things!!

    That's not a green filter. That's my hair before I went to Studio Twenty Six.

    ***** Since Yelp won't let me give 10 stars, I'll just add my own. Madison is amazing!! After a botched bleach job and haircut from another salon, she saved my hair. I've been wanting grey/silver hair for years and I finally got it, thanks to Madison. She brought my hair back to life. I was rocking the geisha-girl top bun forever bc I was so embarrassed to have my hair down. She was really sweet to accommodate my work schedule and even came in on her day off. I can't say enough about this place. The decor is fun but not too loud. They've got current gossip mags to keep you busy. I felt right at home. Madison and Nicole were super sweet and super friendly. Madison didn't sugar coat anything when it came to my hair. She told me what I needed to do to get my hair where I wanted it to be. I wish I found her a long time ago. I would've saved myself so much time and money. You wanna go silver? Go to Madison. You want a good cut? Go to Madison. You want a chimpanzee design in your hair? Go to Madison. This chick does everything! Just remember where you park your car in the parking structure. No joke. I couldn't find my car for like 20 mins. But at least I was rockin' a bad ass 'do.

    Love love love my hair by Nicole!!! Went from boring frumpy hair to this magical glow!!! Thank you, I am so happy. It's the make over I so needed!!! Cut, style, color, highlights, all the best!!! The girls are so sweet and the salon is so cute!!! Feels very comfortable there too!! I showed a picture and got exactly what I wanted. Thank you again!

    From drab to fab by Madison!

    I can't say enough good things about Studio Twenty Six!! I am new to the area and did a LOT of research on salons in Manhattan, Redondo and Hermosa Beach. These gals had STELLAR reviews and I loved the work that their clients had shared...I went with my gut and booked a full color with Madison! I was warmly welcomed into the salon by Nicole and put the girls up to a challenge by going red for the first time. They collaborated together to give me the perfect color & I am so grateful to have found a new home for my hair! Their studio is chic, classy + very boutique like...perfect feel for getting pampered!

    Got my hair done by Nicole and I'm super happy with the results !!!! I've been going with Nicole for years. I love her!!!

    I absolutely love Nicole's work. She's great !!!! I'm Always satisfied with the results

    Love the blonde Nicole does!

    Nicole Is the best at what she does! I don't trust anyone else with my hair, she always exceeds my expectations. She has been doing my hair since we went to school 7 years ago! And to this day I constantly get compliments. From color to extensions she's amazing, if you're looking for a educated stylist who also cares about their clients she is the girl to go to.

    Best place ever!!!! Nicole is amazing,(worth the wait)she took her time and also added TLC to my hair ( &actually cared) of keeping my hair looking healthy after my color correction. Im very impressed and pleased with my hair results! Im able to style it with confidence - thank u nicole!!!

    Fabulous!
    Amanda H.

    Soooo ecstatic for Nicole to have her own studio to do the magnificent things she can do to hair! Every time I go see her I leave so happy with the creative juices she puts into the styles I want. I've been to plenty of stylists growing up and I couldn't be more thankful to find Nicole. I'm moving to Indiana next week and I'm already thinking about how I can fly back to get my hair done in the future. Nicole really learned my hair and knows exactly how to cut/color/treat/blow dry it. she really listens to her customers and she's a perfectionist so she will notice something before you could ever point it out and she fixes it. She's the best!!! I recommend Nicole to all my friends/coworkers because I'm always getting compliments on my hair.

    Madison is truly an artist with hair color! I'm new to the area, and it had been 5+ months since anyone touched my hair, so the color was looking really sad. I couldn't wait any longer because my wedding is coming up in 2 months, but I was really nervous to let someone new touch my hair. As someone who's been getting my hair colored for 15+ years, it's very rare for a colorist to perfectly deliver on what you're looking for, but Madison did just that! She really paid attention to the inspiration photos I showed her and my description of what I like/dislike, and I am beyond thrilled with my new hair color. I wanted ashy blonde highlights but also wanted to maintain some warm tones with darker roots closer to my natural color, and the end result is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I would highly recommend Madison to anyone in the area and am so happy I found her. The studio is also bright and cheerful, and Madison and Nicole are so fun to be around!

    I have waited a a long time to write this review but I can no longer keep her a secret. Nicole is the best hairdresser I have had the pleasure of getting to know. I have naturally curly hair that is very fine. You would think I am nearly balding at times. Lol I originally came to her a year or so ago because I had a color mis hap that had left me an almost redhead. Of course she fixed it, and I have been faithful to her since. Throughout this time we have worked through color changes highlights and styles and most recently extensions. I never knew how truly exceptional this woman was until I realized the work she had put into familiarizing herself with so many different techniques of extensions. And I am even more impressed that she holds true to her word of which ones are right for you and your hair, and what hair or type of extensions she refuses to use. I work retail and am faced with tons of people daily and get nothing but compliments on how beautiful my hair is. No one can ever believe they are extensions. (And of course that I would admit to it) The craziest part is that after I first had them put in, I went to dinner immediately after. Excited that I was finally there after waiting 2 months for a reservation I took a selfie and posted on FB. I had more likes and comments than most post. But they all had to do with how great my hair looked.

    From brunette to blonde... Madison did a great job

    Called to make an appointment within just a few days and saw Larissa…read more Couldn't be happier! This place and the team have such a positive vibe. I felt like I walked in haggard and was only met with smiles and greetings. I'm well into my second trimester and Larissa was very supportive as I got in and out of chairs. I gave minimal guidance as to what I wanted and admit that I'm not super picky. My hair grows pretty quickly and I've had some pretty strange cuts in my life. However, Larissa took my 3 asks and followed them to give me a look that made me feel refreshed and cute: curtain bangs, layers, and rounded in the back. Getting compliments already. So I walked in feeling and looking tired and, imo, haggard, and walked out feeling refreshed and looking pretty cute! (If I may humbly say so) Thank you Larissa! And thank you Brandon for fitting me in so soon

Between the ocean, pool, and everything else I put my hair through during the summer, I'm honestly amazed at how healthy and beautiful my blonde stays! When I first started seeing Erin, my hair was pretty damaged and the cut was completely wrong. She has completely transformed it! She cuts and layers my hair so perfectly, giving it so much movement and making it so much easier to style. I get compliments on my hair from strangers all the time now, and I always give Erin all the credit! She's incredibly talented, and I genuinely don't know what I would do without her. If you're looking for someone who can create a beautiful blonde while keeping your hair healthy, Erin is your girl!

My hair is naturally blonde and I wanted to go even lighter, she acted like it was an impossible task. My hair is straight and gets a tad poofy after washing but calms down- she said she did not like my hair texture. I'm 26 and yet she kept assuming I was old which was weird. She also double booked and then an assistant finished my hair which she was a lot nicer. My hair color was fine after leaving but I'm not sure if carly left the toner on for too long or what but my hair felt incredibly dry for months... I honestly booked Carly because of her good reviews but I highly DO NOT recommend. I recently went to Haute Aveda Blonde Specialists and booked with Tiana. Tiana was so incredibly nice and got me the exact color I wanted. She took her time, she was sweet and complimented me on how healthy my long hair was. My hair felt healthy and smooth. She made me feel great- just looking back at my experience at Santo - it was night and day

    I've been coming here for several months, had high hopes, unfortunately the salon and in my case,…read moreone of the colorists lacks the key element, customer satisfaction, process repeatability and accountability. Moreover, maturity level has a lot to do with it. Location: Salon is located near the Bay Club, the location is beautiful and plenty to do afterwards, but not worth it when you leave the salon with results that you clearly advised you did not want to see. Parking: Metered parking, somewhat tight due to gym; however, the salon does provide you a pass. Front desk person: Woman that answers the phone provides the recommendation on who to see based on the description that you give her; altough I'm not sure she is the right person so make those determinations. Color: Failed results at all times, kept saying that it's a process, yet she never invested in achieving the color as we discussed. I felt low and disregarded every single time I left the salon. I paid over $1000 to not obtain the results in each session. When I shared my concerns with her and advised that the incorrect color was used, she became distant, ghosted me on text and was not honest about when she was in the office. I called the salon and the woman at the front told me she was there. I feel cheated and hurt. There is no salon manager, no one that cares or that you can speak to about your concerns. Payments are done directly to the stylist.

    I'm disappointed with my experience at this salon due to poor communication and pricing practices…read more I had an appointment scheduled with Rachel, but she canceled just a few hours before my appointment time. To her credit, she was able to arrange for another stylist, Erik to take the appointment so I would not have to reschedule. She even booked the replacement appointment on my behalf. Before the appointment, I specifically asked Rachel to have the new stylist honor the price she had quoted me. She assured me that she would pass along that information to the new stylist. When it came time to pay, I was shocked to learn that Erik charged approximately 40% more than the original quoted price. At no point before or during the appointment was I informed that his pricing was different, despite my explicit request that the original quote be honored. Had I been told upfront about the higher price, I could have made an informed decision before proceeding. Instead, I only found out after the service was completed and payment was due. The lack of transparency regarding pricing left me feeling misled and frustrated. I understand that different stylists may have different rates, but clear communication about pricing changes is essential, especially when an appointment is reassigned by the salon at the last minute. Unfortunately, this experience left a negative impression.

    I rarely leave reviews, but I have to for this! I had an appointment with Viki at 6:30 PM, which…read morewas the earliest time available, and I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, from the moment I arrived, the experience was disappointing. Viki was on her phone when I walked in and barely acknowledged me. Before the appointment, I had texted her pictures of my hair along with several Pinterest inspiration photos, but when I showed them again in person, she acted as if she had never seen them. Even though she said she could do what I wanted, her attitude was dismissive and negative throughout. She made it seem like she was doing me a favor by taking the appointment, even though that was the time her boss had scheduled. Her tone and demeanor made the entire experience uncomfortable, and I ended up leaving before the service even started. I left feeling deflated and doubting what I had originally wanted to do with my hair. It was clear she did not want to work that evening, but if that was the case, a quick text or reschedule would have saved us both time. On a positive note, when I called her boss afterward, she was very kind, apologetic, and understanding. Overall, this was an incredibly disappointing encounter, especially considering how many great stylists there are in the South Bay. Try someone else at the salon who has a better attitude.
