    Shampoo, blow dry, flatiron and precision cut - Tara worked MAGIC on my hair.
    nichole h.

    Tara Love was a consummate professional. I was long overdue for a haircut and deep conditioning and she took care of me. She shampooed, conditioned, blow dried and flat ironed my hair, on top of giving me a precision hair cut. My hair hasn't felt so good or looked so healthy in a long time. I LOVE my hair, and I haven't felt that way in so long. She was friendly, warm, and knows her stuff. She was fair and upfront about her pricing menu. I also texted her to make an appointment and we settled everything quickly over text, which I appreciated -- she is very responsive! Will definitely be going back to Ms. Tara Love!

    Blown out and curled
    Sherri A.

    I have been going to Tara Love for over a year for conditioning, cuts, style, blowouts- all of it. Everything this woman touches when it comes to hair- turns to gold. I have never loved a hair professional the way I love her. I have wildly curly hair that she cuts like no other, and I have never loved wearing it natural before I met her. When it is blown out and styled by her, it is not only soft and shiny, but DAMN those curls she gives me are next level and they stay like that until I wash it. She has also conditioned it and brought it back to life so that curly or straight it looks HEALTHY and great! You will never regret going to see her. Tara, you are amazing and thank you always for making me feel beautiful !!!

    My split ends and dry hair were ferocious, and Tara handled them expertly.
    Shannon H.

    I have no prior relationship with these ladies at all, and booked through Yelp. SERVICE: These ladies know what they are doing, and I appreciate the high quality of treatment, maintenance and styling. It's been almost a year since anybody touched my hair- I wear a natural Afro so my hair is virgin - type 4a/4b. That said, I had lots of split ends, and combing my hair felt like chopping through a forest. Plus extreme heat is a no-go. I was a little hesitant going in; I've had a couple of bad experiences, as I'm sure many others have. Tara was willing to review the amount of heat involved and what she had my permission to trim. Some stylists get an attitude if you have questions, but it's my head, my hair, my money. I'm glad she checked in with me to confirm what was going on. Especially since this is a brand new relationship and we don't know each other. They are professional and polite. They offer free snacks and drinks that include mimosa, coffee, tea. Fab! Amenities and fixtures were clean. PRICING: Tara doesn't come cheap- price for shampoo, moisturizing and protein treatment, plus excellent trim, blowout, flat ironing - $210. They give you a price list before she starts everything, but those add-ons do add up. Needless to say, there was a bit of sticker shock. I decided on 5 stars for the level of quality. That is rare in our community. I am willing to pay for someone who truly knows what they're doing and won't screw up my strands. That said, Tara is an expert. When she was done, my hair fell perfectly. Indeed, it needed the attention. BOOKING: I messaged Tara through Yelp, and she contacted me that day; there was a 10-14 day wait for the appointment. She messaged me back and asked me to text her for a date. I'm not a fan of giving out my personal number- too many vendors abuse it- but, ok. CAVEAT 2: She doesn't stay open late. So if you're used to stylists who seat you late or see you after work, you'll have to work around it. PARKING: They validate, but I still paid $4. It's underground, and there are attendants who make it more confusing than it should be. She invited me to come back and get more treatments, but when I asked, I didn't hear any specifics of what additional treatments I could use. I haven't decided what I will do with my hair going forward, and it's doubtful I'd pay $200 regularly, but for the many women who do, Tara is your lady. Pics to come. UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO OWNER'S KIND MESSAGE: Yes, overall, because of your superb quality, I do believe the pros outweighed the cons!

    At the salon after her cut
    Dianna J.

    So I've been in Los Angeles for over 4 years and have had a few stylists but I was looking for someone new. I found Tara Love Hair in Yelp and decided to try the salon. I love Ms. Tara and I love her salon! She cut my hair perfect and her salon is cute and clean. Well my mom came to town in June and I scheduled her an appointment too. My mom has long gray hair but doesn't take care of it. It's constantly in a bun or pulled back. It was breaking and just made her look old. Well Ms. Tara gave her a cut and now she's wearing her hair natural. It is TOO cute! My mom has been getting compliments for over a month and she is tickled to tell people she got her hair cut in LA (she lives in FL). Do yourself and your hair favor and schedule an appointment with Tara Love Hair.

    I loved being at Tara Love Hair!! Tara and Naja (her daughter) are amazing!!!! They and caring, attentive and professional!!! Oh... and my hair looks great!!!

    Patrina C.

    Tara did such a beautiful job styling my niece's hair. After a deep condition and precision trim, her hair was bouncing and behaving. She loved it!! And, after a second round of Tara's deep conditioning, my hair feels softer and silkier than ever! Love, Love, Love Tara Love!! Thanks so much, Tara, for working us in on your day off! You are truly the best!!

    After giving her a review she claimed that she has never met me .  This is before she change the response .
    Sheila B.

    First day I met Tara I told her that my hair doesn't like to be chemically straighten . Guess what she did ? She chemically straighten my hair without my approval! When I confronted her about it, she lied . My hair started drying out and breaking off so I decided to see my dermatologist.My doctor discovered that my hair was chemically treated ! I just wish she would have been honest and saved me time and money ! Update : After a year of getting my hair done with my new stylist , my hair is finally healthy again and growing like weeds . I honestly think that she is great for people who like getting their hair permed or chemically treated . However, if you want to keep your curl pattern check out another salon .

    I called to make an appointment with Soonie for a cut and blowout. Grace, the manager, made the…read moreappointment and informed me that all women's cuts come with a blowout so in the future I could simply request a women's cut. This information was confirmed when I called to reschedule I mentioned I wanted to reschedule my cut and blowout and Grace repeated that a blowout automatically comes with a women's cut. On the day of my appointment I arrived 20 minutes early but Soonie was 20 minutes late. While I waited I saw women leaving the salon with sleek, straight hair and I was excited to begin my appointment. When my appointment started I explained to Soonie how I wanted my hair cut and then asked for her input. I always do this because I value a professional's perspective and even when I don't ask stylists typically offer guidance. When I told her she was the professional and asked for her opinion she replied that I'd had enough haircuts to know what I wanted so she had nothing to add. When she began cutting my hair I told her I wanted a center part. My part was crooked from the wash and my hair hadn't been brushed afterward. She said it didn't matter and left it crooked while cutting. Stylists always ask where I part my hair and use a comb to part it properly but she did not. When she finished the cut she took out a diffuser and began diffusing my curls. I told her I wanted a blowout. She insisted I keep my hair curly and I explained that I specifically booked a blowout with my cut. She then put me under a dryer and told me my hair needed to be 80% dry before a blowout. I told her I wanted sleek, straight hair and she said it would be. After about five minutes she came back and proceeded to fully air dry my curls with a blow dryer before attempting the blowout. She never used a round brush she simply pulled my hair taut. I could see the frizz immediately and she could tell I was upset. At one point she told me she "could feel me sweating." She didn't section my hair and it was going in every direction. I tried helping by holding sections but she said it was okay even though it clearly wasn't. She continued making a bigger mess of my hair as she "worked." I watched women with beautiful, sleek hair walk past me in the mirror while my hair looked like a tangled messy bird's nest. My hair came out frizzy with waves and dents so she took out a flat iron and began flat ironing the frizzy hair and causing constant snagging. I've never had a stylist flat iron my hair after a blowout and I was surprised again. Her unrelenting conversation was about how I must be very good at blowing out my own hair, how I needed a trim every month and a half and then she drifted into awkward stories about when she first started working. All the while my hair looked nothing like a professional blowout certainly nothing like Cristophe of Beverly Hills. It felt more like a child playing hairdressing. I was stunned when she said she was done. I told her I would need to go over my hair at home because this was not how my hair should look. She simply said, "Okay, good." I was shocked she was comfortable letting me leave like that. This wasn't my first haircut or my first blowout. I know how a proper result should look. I even watched her give the woman before me a blowout and she took her time with a round brush and used pins. It says a lot when someone can only blow out straight hair. For Cristophe's reputation this was unacceptable. For someone advertised as a "master stylist," Soonie's work was atrocious. Her work looked like that of a beginner and I felt like she was practicing on me. I was deeply disappointed by her unprofessionalism and her bizarre uncomfortable conversations. She said she likes cutting but doesn't like blow drying. I wish that if she at least liked cutting she would've done an exceptional job there but the cut itself is ridiculously basic and she missed a section leaving the front uneven on one side. I go several months between cuts but not with this one. I need another cut immediately. I'm used to leaving salons with glamorous, bouncy, flowing hair that turns heads. Instead my cut with Soonie is heavy, has no movement and looks like a wig. She knew this would happen and should have said something when I asked for her input and even if I hadn't asked a professional should offer guidance. I cannot believe I specifically asked for her opinion and she refused. When I went to pay I was charged $200. I was stunned she had the audacity to send me out with frizzy, dented hair and waves at the roots and still charge me $200. I told the person at the front desk that I was very upset and she agreed my hair was messy and unkempt. She gave me the names of three other stylists who she said were good at blowouts and added that they were master stylists. I told her that according to the website so is Soonie.
