    Excellent cut from William Huth @ Chroma!
    Joshua H.

    I'm a bit neurotic when it comes to my hair. I remember when I was about twelve years old, my mom took me to a Supercuts and after about 5 minutes of describing the style I would like, the barber took out Clippers and shaved my head on the number three. So, when I moved to LA I knew I would need a stylist that was conscious of my hair woes. My roommate recommended me to William Huth at the chroma Studio. Needless to say, I was a bit reserved, however I could not be happier with the results. My roommate got a completely new style, and it looks great, but I was just looking for a simple trim, and perhaps thin it out a bit. As good as the brand new cut looked, Will also nailed it with giving me exactly the trim that I wanted. Not only was the style exactly what I wanted, the atmosphere could not have been more warm and welcoming. Wonderful Salon, with wonderful people. I cannot recommend William highly enough, call him directly and set up an appointment! (323) 331-0923

    My hair done by Flavia Harpaz to Oscar 2013.

    I've been going to Flavia for over 3 years. Always an amazing experience. I'll not trust my hair with anyone else anymore, not only does Flavia keeps my hair looking beautiful. She also educates and takes the time to listen to you and gives her advise on what suits you best. Definitely she makes the salon experience a true pleasure and makes you feel at home when she greets you with a nice smile. I couldn't be happier when I got my hair done by Flavia to "The Academy Award's Red Carpet", Oscars/2013. She did a wonderful job. It was exactly what I wanted. I would give more than five stars if I could. Last month, I went in for had an another great hair cut. I was very pleased with the results. She cut my hair up to the shoulders and it is layered in a way that looks good styled or without doing anything. I get stopped on the street daily with people complimenting my hair. I can't wait to go back to see her again. Good vibes for sure. I highly recommend Flavia, because she really takes pride in her work, and so talented and sweetheart!

    Troy fixed my home dye job!!!! I'm auburn again.

    I have officially joined Chroma Studio's "Troy fan club." Let me explain. I am, sadly, a member of that generation of women who have to touch up their roots every two to three weeks, I'll admit, we're talking some 'stray greys' in there as well and it was getting past the point where I could refer to them as "highlights." I figured: how hard could it be to just grab a box of anything Tina Fey, SJ Parker or Andie MacDowell shill for, and just do it myself? Bad idea. I ended up with horizontal bands of various shades of red over the course of six months. Not bad if I'm fronting a band at an indie music festival in Eagle Rock....but I'm not. So on to Troy. I'm walking past Chroma Studio in my WEHO 'hood and I'm thinking.... It's pretty on the outside, let me Yelp. I did, I saw the multiple stars and I read the reviews. I called. They were very nice and accommodating... They must have heard the desperation in my voice. Troy sat me down and explained the process to even out the color. (FYI, he didn't mock me once!). Since it's red, it's a bit more challenging than splitting an atom or finding parking at the Hollywood farmers market. Anyway, he lifted, touched up, pulled color though, then came the Low lights for some complexity and...four hours late (that's how much attention he pays to his craft), voila, a stunning glossy, shimmering auburn mane spilling over my shoulders. The price was reasonable considering the time and effort it took make me fabulous....and it included a gorgeous blow dry! For the record, the blow dry is always included in the price of his color jobs. Troy also has his own product line but doesn't force it on you and that, my friends is uber classy. Thank you Troy, I might even post that pic!!!!

    Hair by EJ @ Chroma Studio...LOVE IT!

    Okay...so I RARELY, if EVER, write reviews (I know, I'm one of those parasites who always use Yelp, but rarely review) BUT I am compelled to write this one. So for the past year, I was suffering from hair envy. Whenever my roommate would come home from her hair appointments she would have AHHH-MAZING hair. Seriously. Like hair straight out of a Pantene Commercial or on the cover of Vogue hair. Not that her hair is a hot mess normally, but it was sooo good after a hair appointments that I finally had to ask her if I could piggy back on an appointment with her the next time she went. Now...I have naturally curly (3b) bra strap length hair but love wearing it straight (not an easy task). Many hairstylists I have gone to in the past have either butchered my hair or tried to use straight cuts/styles on my curly hair, so I was a bit nervous. I have found stylists on Naturallycurly.com that were supposed to be curly hair specialists that didn't live up to their reviews. Then....There was EJ. I barely have words for the magic this man works. I am still a relatively new customer, but what this man does in HALF the time of my former stylist is nothing short of a miracle. He not only gave me a fantastic cut that is growing out beautifully (as he said), but it looks awesome blown out (he is a master with a brush and blow-dryer) or styled curly. He was so confident that it would grow out beautifully that he said I wouldn't need to see him for 3-5 months! It has been 3 months since my last cut, and he was absolutely right! Although, my roomie came home the other day with FAN-TASTIC hair and I was a bit bitter she went to see EJ without me! Even though he says I can wait another 2 months, I will be back sooner to see EJ....That is...if I can get an appointment. Hmmmmm, on second thought.... /kidding. He is great. No AMAZING. Highly recommended for naturally curly cues like me who wish they were born with straight hair.

    Love my hair

    I was referred to Chroma studio and told to ask for William Huth by my husband for a much needed hair cut and I am so happy I took his suggestion. William is incredible. I couldn't have asked for a better cut and style. He took what I asked for and actually delivered better than the picture I brought! The man is truly a legend and a pleasure to chat to. If you're looking for a hair stylist who knows what they are doing definitely check him out!

    I have been going to Chelsi for a few years now for partial/full balayage, toner, a quick gloss,…read morelayering, and trims. She is incredibly talented and capable, you can show her one pic and she will either make recommendations based on your hair, or gets straight to it and makes it happen. I've seen her 7 times now and have never left an appointment feeling anything but confident and stoked about my hair. No joke, last month I got a full balayage and some face framing layers, and within an hour of leaving my appointment, running errands, three strangers stopped me and asked me where I went for my hair/commented on how amazing it looked. Finally, you will not find someone with more flexibility on timing - she is beyond accommodating with her hours which is amazing for people with crazy work schedules. Do you have a stylist that will meet you at the crack of dawn for a quick, 5:30AM partial balayage before you go to work? I doubt it. Could not recommend Balayage by Linet (and Chelsi) more!

Now we all know that someone to touch our hair it has to be built on trust. I felt I had finally found my niche, I had came to Lidia I couple times to do cut, color, style. So at this moment I was a loyal client and would go to her in the future. Now some things slipped through the cracks while making my appointment. A couple months back I was ready to make a change and reach out a couple of time via phone and in person and the lack of communication failed. No biggie, I wanted to get my hair done here and nowhere else. Thought third time would be the charm so I stopped in person again and saw the owner Lidia. I mentioned that I was ready for a change and discussed what I wanted, I also asked for her colleague because even tho I had paid for a senior stylist her assistant at the time helped me ol half of the time. Again I did not say anything even after being hosed down during our first session. Decided to let it go. Well I indeed asked if she was available since I knew her as well and knew her prices were slightly different. However I was advised that they were actually the same. They did advise me they had someone knew with lower prices if I were interested. I was happy they were expanding but as I mentioned I was loyal to the person who already doing my hair. I had built a relationship and I was satisfied with the work being done. I requested to be booked with Lidia for my service. Now I know she's not there all the time so we can to coordinate a date where she was here on a weekend. I even requested a quote just so I would have an idea. Done! And received a confirmation. I had to reschedule and booked out for a month later. However the day before my services I received an email and saw a name I did not recognize. So I decided to text and confirm. I was advised that it was not with the owner but with a junior stylist because I had requested someone with lower prices. I was confused because I never asked, I was informed but because I didn't know her I was not comfortable moving forward with her. I then began receiving messages that if I didn't show then I would be charged, oh and the owner was not there so she wouldn't be the one doing my hair. I would however have the person (whom I don't know) do my hair because I "requested them". I tend to be clear, I don't know where the miscommunication came from. I've even received an original email that I was booked with the owner. I requested a call because I know I would never book with someone that I'm not comfortable and now have to be stuck in with. A lot of back and worth which wasn't leading anywhere. Neither of us felt that we were in the wrong, I was told I can book with the owner when she is in but at this moment I felt so uncomfortable and would be so awkward that I'd rather lose business with. I felt there was no accountability taken and I was convinced that I would be charged if I didn't show up with my appointment with someone I did not book.

My appt she got me back to my blonde I've been missing. I was in hawaii for some time and my hair was grown out from moving and just didn't find the right stylist. She brought me BACK. To a beautiful, very bright/light blonde! And my hair feels very healthy as well! She was so attentive, meticulous and so fun too talk with as well. I didn't realize or forgot they have parking in front and they will even run out to pay your meter for you if needed. I just parked in the neighborhood nearby. Salon vibes are so chill and inviting. Coffee and water provided too. A no pressure vibe which I loved. No product pushing, no pressure whatsoever when describing what you are trying to get. Sometimes I'm anxious with the salon because it's a lot when it comes to finding the right blonde or just awkward conversation. Not here! She works with you so well and you immediately feel comfortable walking into the salon and through the entire interaction. And just comfortable, fun environment while you're there! Fun conversation, every one was so incredibly nice. I also can't sit still for long- severe back problems and adhd so it was nice I could get up and move as needed. Slightly pricey but expected with the work she provided for myself.

This is not a high pressure sales environment. Obviously suggestions, opinions communicated etc...but the objective was not to sell me something or turn the chair over for the next client. No product pushing. No service pushing. No agenda pushing. Full stop. 2) Skill I've always thought of Blonding as a language; I now believe Caitlin wrote that language. She is 100% the doctor and the surgeon. I got exactly what | asked for. Read that again: EXACTLY what I asked for. Having experienced the accuracy of an exclusively blonde colorist, I cannot overstate that value. 3) Communication It's possible your colorist may have to interpret what you're asking for. It's possible this takes time. Cait spent time with me. She encouraged me to say more and made me feel comfortable (read: not-stupid) as I probably talked out of both sides of my mouth and stumbled through my wants, needs, pictures, let-downs, etc. Look, I don't care who's hair you've colored, or "red carpet" this, "social media following" that blah blee blah. All of your skill and knowledge and experience is lost on me if: I'm intimidated You have one eye on the clock for our entire consult You're annoyed with my inability to articulate Couple the thorough communication with the technical capability and B/B is in a whole other league, entirely. Caitlin, you should be really proud of this business. Ok. SO: I hesitate to comment on/share price and service-time because every blonde really is unique BUT since that's probably the info you're looking for, I'll say this: Re price: Not inexpensive ALTHOUGH more than fair (even before you consider comps at other salons) Re time: It takes as long as it takes. Dunno what else to say about that one. Its bleach, people. Maybe don't rush it? TL;DR? Um, "best". You get what you pay for. Proceed with confidence (and enthusiasm!) srsly though? Go back and read it, it's not that long.
