    Fresh balayage by Amanda Riley, July 2021
    Britt C.

    Summer Hours is the cutest, best little salon in LA! I feel welcome and comfortable every time I walk through the doors and legitimately look forward to returning which I cannot say about many places in town especially salons. In the past I've been to salons and just felt so out of place and frumpy but all the stylists at SH are friendly and not at all pretentious. The vibes are just right! Amanda, the owner, has been coloring my hair for about 5 years and she is absolutely the best of the best. My blonde balayage always looks perfectly natural and healthy and grows out flawlessly. I know that if for any reason Amanda was unavailable that all of the stylists at Summer Hours would be able to knock it out of the park because Amanda has done such an incredible job building her team of independent stylists. The salon itself is bright, open, and pretty. Parking is beyond easy, it's free on the street right out in front of the salon. I moved to Austin 3 years ago and made the grave mistake of trying to find a colorist there, after allowing 3 different stylists to damage my hair I realized the error in my ways. I now make sure to squeeze in an appointment with Amanda every time I'm back in LA for work or pleasure. If that's not a testament to how truly incredible she and Summer Hours are then I'm not sure what is.

    Where do I begin? Amanda Riley of Summer Hours has done a gorgeous job of creating a safe, inviting space for her fellow independent stylists and their clients. I popped in this last week to see Ash Bazar, this was my first appointment with him and first time inside Summer Hours! Everything is clean, thoroughly sanitized, socially distanced, masks worn. I have been rocking a curly pixie cut since June, and was looking for a more polished but edgy style. Ash did a FABULOUS job working his magic to create my dream cut. He is a true artist. I cannot wait to pre-book my next service with him and certainly can't wait to see Summer Hours grow & flourish!

    before- flat and lifeless, weird proportions

    I absolutely cannot recommend Faye hard enough! I've been growing out a pixie but was suffering thru what felt like an endless "ugly" phase with it and finally decided to see what could be done. I could not have dreamed of a more skilled and sensitive stylist. Faye is a super attentive listener- hearing not just what was frustrating me, what I wanted, what I like to do on a day-to-day basis.. but also really like listened to my hair and what *it* wanted to be. She's incredibly perceptive and clearly experienced. She's an exceptional communicator, frequently checking in throughout the process and fine tuning along the way. Extremely sensitive about keeping the length I wanted. We're one cut in and she already has my undying trust and loyalty. She's experimental and excited to try new things, but also patient and clearly cares about setting you up for success. She's obviously a rockstar at shape and proportions and textures, but she made it seem like a totally effortless process to give me a totally effortless look. I'm blown away. Seriously do yourself a favor and go put yourself in Faye's skilled care. You deserve it!

    Cut and color with Courtney

    Summer Hours is a fantastic salon! The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and clean. You immediately feel taken care of from the moment you step inside. I got my hair cut, colored, and styled with Courtney. She is truly magical! Not only does she take the time to ask questions and understand your hair, but she is such a sweetheart to talk to! Additionally, Courtney does an amazing job at talking her clients through each step of her process. You feel confident that you're going to walk out with something that you love! :)

    I recently visited Hair Arca to cut off my damaged ends, and they absolutely did not disappoint!…read more I was honestly a little nervous about going shorter. I have a small head, my hair tends to fall flat, and past short haircuts have made me look older than I actually am. But Caleb completely changed my perspective. He took the time to create a cut that complemented my facial features perfectly. The result? My face looks brighter, more defined, and so much more youthful! I walked out feeling lighter, refreshed, and so much more confident. (I'm honestly a little embarrassed my sweater didn't do the haircut justice. I should've dressed cuter today! ) Before the haircut, Helen washed my hair and treated my scalp with the Arca Genol Head Spa & Hair Pack, followed by the most relaxing scalp massage. As someone who struggles with an itchy scalp and dandruff, I was genuinely amazed. My scalp felt instant relief, and even now I'm not scratching my head at all. It leaves such a soothing, cooling sensation that's perfect for the summer. If you're looking for a fresh new hairstyle, talented stylists who truly care about finding the right look for you, and a scalp treatment that actually works, I highly recommend checking out Hair Arca. And if you fall in love with the Arca Genol Head Spa & Hair Pack like I did, you can even order it on Amazon. Treat yourself. You won't regret it!

I found Hair by Julianne Cho and was booked with Sumi, and I'm so glad I trusted her! Sumi was incredibly sweet, patient, and attentive throughout the entire appointment. She actually recommended a softer, wavier perm, but I kept insisting I wanted it curlier (lol). She listened to exactly what I wanted while still giving me honest professional advice, which I really appreciated. She also recommended getting a haircut beforehand, and I'm SO glad I listened. I have really thick hair with a lot of density, and she spent about 40 minutes cutting it. She didn't rush at all and was so meticulous. She removed just enough weight while keeping my length, added beautiful long layers, and gave my hair so much more movement and dimension. The perm came out exactly how I was hoping! My hair feels so much lighter, the curls are beautiful, and I'm honestly obsessed with the result. I drove about an hour from the Valley, and it was 100% worth it. Parking was easy, the salon was clean and adorable, and they even had snacks and drinks for clients. Overall such a great experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to make the drive again. Thank you, Sumi!

    I cannot say enough good things about this salon and Jennifer!!…read more I requested a same day appointment as I had botched hair extensions put in at another salon the day before. Jennifer agreed to accommodate me and even stayed after hours to work on me. She assessed my hair and decided what to do (we ended up removing 50% of the extensions -- the previous salon had added too much hair so she could charge me for more hair, which was one of the reasons I ended up looking like I was wearing a wig). Jennifer cut the width of the extensions and replaced them at the most natural position for my head shape, and blended everything together seamlessly. Jennifer, you are amazing!!! Thank you so much. I will definitely be back!

Yuki should have warned me that my hair was too fine for this process instead of taking my money to ruin my hair. If she is so experienced and so great she should have known better and know that the process she was doing would ruin my hair. This is my warning to others that are going here to have straightening done. Don't rely on her to tell you it's not right for your hair. To top it off when I called to tell her she did not apologize, she did not act as though she felt bad her response was not caring at all. Not to mention she didn't offer any advice or a refund. Now it will take me years to get my hair healthy and I'm so upset.

It was my first wavy/curly haircut with specialists and I was lucky enough to meet Anya, who understands curly/wavy hair and the trial and error that comes with it. She asked questions to learn more about what I was looking for, and delivered! My hair has so much volume and personality with a flattering style for my face frame, and it's practical enough for me to work with on busy days. I mentioned some scalp concerns to Anya (who is a scalp specialist!) and was provided with information and possible solutions. So much care was given to cutting and styling my hair, despite being there beyond the offical closing time, yet, she did not rush me. Kiki, who worked with washing my hair and providing me with a blowout, provided explanations to products used and why. I was ready to fall asleep from the massage-like scalp/head cleanse during the shampoo stage. This is the first time I ever talked this much during my time at a salon! I really got to bond over shared interests with both Kiki and Anya. They worked their magic and are supportive, sweet and kind. I think I found a salon where I can transform, blossom and grow with people who genuinely care about their clients and hair.

I understand they have a cancellation policy and was told I would be charged 50%! 2 months later I made an appointment and I requested if they could waive the fee because I wasn't feeling good and it wasn't due to not just showing up. Not only did they say they can't do anything about it they now charged me 100% of the fee. First they said 50% then they said 100%! They didn't even ask if I want to use the card on file just went ahead and charged 100% I am just disappointed in how they are not understanding of when people can't make due to sickness or some things come up last minute and treating people crappy during pregnancy! Understanding goes a long way when you have a business! Take your business elsewhere where they don't treat returning customers like shit!

As a mom who has never gotten more than blond highlights, I called Hair with lots of questions. I'm terrible with names, but the woman I spoke to (salon manager, maybe?) was incredibly nice and helpful.

Other stylists came and asked her questions and treated her like an adult. Daniel was AMAZING! He not only took her inspo pic and made it a reality, but he also gave her tips about how to style it herself. The sweetest part was he asked what her favorite band was and it became a part of the music rotation the whole time we were there. Super funky and cool vibe for the whole salon, too. I watched other clients getting amazing color and cuts. Definitely will go back! From me: everyone was super rad AF.
