I found this place after researching somewhere that my 13 year old boy could get a complete restyle. He had grown his hair out long and now wanted a mullet. I knew that this couldn't be done by just any barber and had to specifically look for someone with the creativity and eye for what he wanted. I discovered subterranean hair! A few things stuck out for me, looked hip and kinda punk and that spoke to us, as a Mom to a drummer and guitarist this place looked like the kinda vibe that they would get a kick out of, the esthetics of the place indicated that those working here were a creative bunch that would be up to date on trends and techniques. Then I went through reviews and saw that Mitchell was most likely our best bet (I know that many of the stylists could prob do what my son wanted but it was a big change and I really wanted to feel confident about it) Mitchell was amazing, my son loved the place, the vibe and Mitchell completely nailed exactly what he wanted (That was the most important thing) Because all three of my boys don't have "conventional" boy hairstyles, we will definitely be back here from now on. Don't get me wrong these guys can handle your typical short back and sides, but I love that they do complete transformations too. Great place, cool vibe, talented stylists! read more

Extremely overpriced! Lotta hoopla, like the 15 minute consultation before you get your haircut. Basically, you get the same haircut that you would pay 1/3 to 1/2 as much for. Lotta gimmicks such as a they want you to come back in for a "free tuneup" and then you can only schedule this tuneup if you make an appointment for another over priced haircut. Would not recommend... read more

Subterranean Hair - Haircut - Hair Salons Near Me - San Pedro, California

Would NEVER go to this salon. My child went in for a consultation and showed them a picture of the hair color and cut they would like. The person they spoke to said not a problem at all. Made the appointment and they went in. This person was suppose to bleach their hair white/platinum and dye portions of the bottom black. Well..... hair is now yellow, scalp hurts and where the black was supposed to go is not only at the bottom but in all kinds of places where it shouldn't be. And is not black, it's more blue/green. So absolutely not like the picture they showed them after almost 4 hours being there. plus didn't even get a hair cut they were promised and paid to do, because the stylist ran out of time. So now they are out over $300 dollars and damaged hair and scalp is so sore. They said they don't do refunds - only can TRY to fix it. I told them don't you let anyone from that salon touch your hair again, they obviously don't know what the heck they are doing. You'd think they would give them at least 1/2 back. Awful customer service to say the least! Also tried to get in touch with owner and they said to come in to see them, but they were going to be out of town. said they would be in touch and now have not heard from them at all. It's been weeks. Probably should have done more research. read more

This place is beautiful. Great music. And everyone is so welcoming and kind. Vanessa cut my hair and I went from looking like Sea Hag to pretty damn unbelievable. I went really short and she truly listened to me and gave me the best haircut I could ask for. I appreciated that so much. Of course I will go back and Vanessa is now my go-to stylist. Amazing experience! read more

I absolutely loved coming here, it was the perfect start to my birthday! Vanessa was super easy to work with and gave me great advice about hair care and the length of the cut during the consultation. The atmosphere was wonderfully and all the staff members were so kind! read more

Subterranean Hair isn't just a haircut; it's an experience. Mitchell and Rosemary have created a special place to get a great cut in the South Bay. Their attention to detail is incredible, from the top-shelf products they use and sell to the impeccably decorated shop. But what truly sets them apart is their customer service. They're relentless in pursuing the perfect cut, listening carefully to your desires and crafting a style that flatters your face and hair type. Getting a haircut here feels like a luxurious "treat yo-self" moment, and I always leave feeling pampered and confident. I highly recommend Subterranean Hair for anyone seeking an exceptional haircut experience! read more

110% recommend this place! I was looking for a go to place for a haircut near me, I'm so glad I decided to book an appointment here. There was a few days wait, but damn was it worth it. Everything about this salon feels so... curated. The decor is so original and it's divided into three different areas. The hair salon, the color room and the barbershop. This place has an awesome sustainability pledge and you can really tell that everyone that works there really cares about the environment and community. One of the owners, Rosemary offered me a robe to change into and a beverage menu that had house alcoholic beverages, as well as loose leaf teas and coffees. I started off with a glass of wine and a consultation with my hair artist, Courtney, she took detailed notes of my hair type, lifestyle, preferences and then recommended the perfect haircut for me! I received a hair wash, a hair massage, cut and style for $85 (+tip) - which I thought was a great value. I had such a luxurious afternoon at this wonderful place rosemary and her partner have created in San Pedro! I am so happy I've found this place and will definitely be returning for my next cut! read more

We have just moved to the area from TN, and I was looking for a new hair salon. After countless hours of help research , I settled on this salon . It was a shot in the dark, but I am so glad I took it. Vanessa was my stylist. I met with her for a consultation before making an appointment for color and cut. She happened to have an opening the next day which was amazing . The salon is very comfortable and offers beverages. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and helpful . I am so pleased with the color and cut and price. Thank you Vanessa for such a wondering cut and color.l and for sparing me countless hours of searching for a hair dresser ! read more

So, since writing my review I was contacted by the hairdresser, who offered to fix my concerns, and then the owner, who offered to have me come in to get a re-cut with him. I accepted and had a great experience and he did an awesome job with my hair! I really appreciate both the original stylist and the owner's concern to make it right. read more

We finally found a winner, team. I've seen about 5 different stylists and this is the first haircut that I've had that I truly enjoyed. Mitchel did an incredible job on my hair. We talked about the type of cut I wanted and the styles I liked. He took my inspiration pictures and applied them really well. There is one section of my hair that was a little shorter than I had envisioned but he offered a touch up in about a month to get the cut perfect. The salon is gorgeous, the products used are extremely high quality and smell incredible. If you are looking for a high end experience this is the place. read more

I recently decided to cut my hair and took my chances on this salon because of its aesthetic lol. But I ended up getting a consultation, wash, cut and style from Kelcie and it was AMAZING. My overall experience here was lovely and Kelcie was so attentive. She made sure to get a clear picture of what I was looking for and nailed it. It is very clean inside and felt very welcoming. I feel so excited to now have a go to hair salon and stylist that I can trust with my hair! Would definitely recommend if you are nearby or in the general Los Angeles area. read more

This was the best hair experience I have ever had. The music is also really great and relaxing. They receive you at reception and have a consultation about your routine and what you're looking to accomplish. The hair cutting itself is very professional and high quality. Oh and you get a nice head massage during your wash read more

Do you have (or want) a truly superior bob or other hairstyle that requires extreme precision in your cut? This is 14/10 the place for that. Mitchell is who I see, although everyone else there is also super nice. Here's the rundown: 1) Truly superior haircut and service. My husband commented that this is the best cut I've ever had, and I have worn my hair in a bob for years. 2) Fairly easy to get an appointment at a time that is convenient for you 3) Easy on street parking 4) Family owned/run business that actually cares about it's employees and the neighborhood community 5) Overall downtown San Pedro is super cute/safe 6) You can walk a block afterwards and have great wine/charcuterie and make it a mini-event for yourself if you're done after 4:30pm (Compagnon Wine Bar) 7) They also do coloring and have a men's barbershop in the back, which looks very cool. Honestly, I get my hair done there, super cool people get their hair done there, and everyone seems very comfortable and happy. As someone who can be easily intimidated by the "cool kids" this means a lot to me, and I think it says alot about what kind of business this is and what their vibe is. Give it a try, it's definitely worth the drive. read more

Kelce was great with my wife. Endless coffee and WiFi for husband. Our go to place when in San Pedro from now on. Thank you read more

Subterranean Hair - Getting prepared for her fantastic cut n style and color. - Hair Salons Near Me - San Pedro, California

I had not had my hair cut/ colored in over a year. I chose Subterranean after reading reviews. Mitchell gave me a through consultation and good cut. I booked a coloring appt. with Kelcie. I was over the moon thrilled with my coloring. We discussed in-person what I was hoping for and what she suggested. I have to honestly say, this was THE BEST color I've ever had. I've been coloring my hair for over 40 years and Kelcie did a remarkable, natural looking job. I have finally found my colorist ! read more

Subterranean is something else, it's not just a salon, it's way better in every single way. Service, attention to detail, music, decor, ambiance, products, everything is spot on. You can tell the owners are not only extremely experienced, but they also put a lot of love into everything they do. This is my new go-to and I don't think that will be changing anytime soon. Give yourself a treat and book your next hair appointment at Subterranean, I swear you will love it. read more

I decided to try a new Salon. I picked this place because of the stellar reviews. I was not disappointed. This place is amazing. From the very friendly receptionist who explains the philosophies and environmental commitments these owners (Mitchel and his wife) have, to the way they support local mom and pop businesses to the amazing decor, to the commitment to customer service. It's just above and beyond. The employees were fun. The vibe was fabulous. The music was eclectic and I loved it. Emilly, my hair girl, was super friendly and fun. She specializes in color. But she's also great with cuts. This place is state-of-the-art. Mitchel oversees everything in a very friendly, non-intimidating way. He has years of experience from around the world. He makes sure that his employees stay current on all the latest trends. Emilly said she loved that and loves working at this place and for Mitchel and his wife. I loved this place so much, I made an appointment for my daughter the very next day. This place is like no other salon. It's an experience. And it was wonderful. They've set the bar to the stars. And good for them. And not by accident. I won't be going anywhere else. read more

I had a consultation, wash cut and blow dry with Vanessa my hair is long, thick and layered - and she did a WONDERFUL job. I will definitely be going back. She listened carefully to what I wanted and proposed a few options. It's shorter layers than I've tried before and much easier to manage, feeling very healthy and with lots of bounce. The people, tea, music and general vibe make this my favorite salon in California. Vanessa recently qualified and so allow for just a little extra time, but it's totally worth it. read more

First time ever to be in a salon and let me tell you, my experience here was amazing. I loved everything about it. From the customer service down to the aesthetic of the shop. I had the honor of Mitchell cutting my hair and he did so amazing im in love with my new look and his assistant was great! Everything about this shop and the workers was immaculate! read more

This isn't just a haircut. This is a full service experience. Walking into the door, Rosemary greeted me with a warm smile. She made sure I sanitized my hands and offered me a refreshment (the loose leaf tea was amazing!). Before a cut is even considered, a free consultation with the hairdresser, Mitchel, was provided to make sure the style would fit with my desires and personality. At a following appointment, I got my hair washed, cut, and styled. I absolutely adore not only how my hair turned out, but the attention and care that went in to make this experience truly outstanding. It's no wonder they are booked out a month in advance! This will be my go-to hair salon as long as they are in business, which I hope is a very long time! read more

It's not easy finding a new stylist but I took a chance on Subterranean Hair and booked Emily for a haircut and highlight and I'm very happy I did. My hair was probably over-processed and needed some attention. Now my highlights are very natural and my hair is in much better condition. Subterranean Hair stylists sit down with you for a consultation before working with you to get a better sense of your lifestyle and an understanding of what you want. Emily has a confidence about her and it's clearly demonstrated in her work. She's also a really pleasant person to talk to which makes the experience even better. The studio is impressive and the staff/owners are very welcoming. I will be going back there for sure. Emily got it right the first time! read more

My hair looks and feels great. After my barber passed away. I tried a few different people and eventually just started clipping my own hair and then it just turned into a buzz cut year round. After growing my hair out I didn't want to just chop it off and I'm still not sure what my hair so will evolve into but I really like the way my hair looks and feels now. I'll be updating this review in eight weeks with pictures and more info very happy. Also hair was cut by a San Pedro Local who has lived here her whole life. I choose to support locals and local businesses. You should consider doing that to. Cheers to a beautiful day read more

Absolutely amazing experience! Subterranean far exceeded my expectations. Salon was so lovely and Rosemary was very welcoming.

Getting my hair done at Subterranean has been an incredible experience! Everyone there is so incredibly friendly, and my stylist, Hannah, was absolutely phenomenal. Not only did she take the time to ask questions and really understand what I wanted, but she was incredibly kind and friendly. In addition to that, they serve coffee and tea, hot or iced to you while you wait. And another thing worth highlighting is the fact that they are a certified green salon! They do what they can to reduce waste and recycle, which I think is really really cool. All in all, it was an incredible experience. read more

Mitchel is the best!! I've had a LOT of people cut my hair and none have cut it better. She listens carefully to my wishes and makes sure that I am 100% satisfied with my cut and color. She's also extremely friendly and easy to talk to. I don't mind going out of the way (30+ min from my house) to make sure I'm going somewhere I trust and enjoy! Doesn't hurt that it's the most adorable salon I've ever been to, too ;) Highly recommend!! read more

Welcome, classy addition to San Pedro!! As someone who hates changing stylists, I was dreading the day I would have to once again fumble along with a couple of "recommendations" from friends, etc in search of not only a stylist but a true salon. Lurked a few local places but didn't have the guts to commit to anything and I would drive back up an hour to Venice/Culver. Subterranean popped up and I finally got the courage to do a consult with Kelcie. No commitment, just let's talk and what we want to do... I loved the place, what they stand for, their design, their taste in music... hooked!!! Came back the following week and so happy with the cut and foliage. She nailed it!!! Rosemary and Mitchel have really created a crafted experienced in San Pedro! Worth every penny! read more

My mom, Mariana had the opportunity to stop by Subterranean Hair this morning for a haircut. She knew exactly what she wanted and Michel absolutely killed it! My mom is extremely happy and satisfied with Michel and Rosemary. They both provided a an excellent service and amazing hospitality. The language barrier wasn't an issue and made her feel at home. Making an appointment was smooth and easy, and they provided splendid customer service. We love supporting business like these. Thank y'all for taking care of momma. read more

Great experience!! Mitchel spent a great amount of time listening to me and asking lots of questions to see who I am as a person to figure out the best cut for me. Mitchel took the time to look at me as a whole person instead of just what I looked like on the outside. He took a very vague idea I had and turned it into a complete transformation that makes me excited and feel like a whole new person. Thanks for such a great experience from start to finish. read more

Omg where do I start!! Loved my experience here Courtney was amazing! She knew exactly what she was talking about, thank you!! Since I haven't done anything to my hair in years! Her energy was amazing the ambiance is super relaxing! They even have complimentary coffee, tea etc! Thank you so much Courtney you were amazing read more

A profoundly transformative experience. For the uninitiated, one may think that this is an exaggeration - it is not. The Subterranean treatment is unlike anything I've yet encountered. I could easily say "5 Star" or "best haircut ever", but neither would approximate the depth and breadth of what Subterranean is offering.... this is a makeover- inside and out, every detail lovingly and thoughtfully crafted. I could go into much greater detail, and spoil half of the surprises, but sufficed to say, if you are in the market for a 'haircut' that will uplift you, from the inside out, look no further, book an appointment and look forward to it with eager anticipation. Disclaimer: have not been compensated in any way for this review, and my sole purpose for writing it is to commend the tremendous work of these business-owners and help get the word out. read more
