The Compound Salon is my favorite salon I've ever been a patron of - and I've been getting my hair colored professionally for over 15 years. The salon is clean, bright, airy, comfortable, and has a laid-back vibe. The music is always great, the staff is extremely friendly, and there are refreshments available. The restrooms are clean and in great condition. I love the plants throughout the salon and the personal touches such as the neon "Be Excellent to Each Other" sign. My hairstylist, Dina, gives me the best cut and color of my life. Every time I leave I know that my hair looks the best it can, and my color is gorgeous. My color also consistently fades out in a way that looks intentional between coloring, and remains vibrant for many weeks. I've never been happier with my hair. I've also seen other stylists for blowouts between visits and every stylist has been great. Karla cut my niece's hair and was wonderful with her. You can book online, and you can text with the receptionist if you have to change your appointment which is great. The only downside is that there's no dedicated parking, which isn't their fault and I've never had a problem. Just be careful if you go on a street sweeping day. read more

Jillian is an absolute QUEEN! I have fine curly hair that had been through some damage that completely altered my curl pattern, making my naturally curly lay almost flat. I had spent a couple years, trying to get my curl pattern back and revive the health of my hair with only a little bit of luck. I decided to seek out a new stylist and found Jillian. After one cut with Jillian, my curls looked completely different. They were brought back to life. Looked healthy. Had bounce and shape that I thought I had lost for good. I'm so grateful for finding Jillian. She is kind and hilarious and makes sure that she fully understand what you are trying to achieve. She works her magic and makes you feel beautiful when you leave her chair. I'm going to continue to let Jillian care for my curls. I highly recommend Jillian and the Compound. You will be in the best hands. read more

Came to get a bang trim with existing bangs. Booked Jillian because I saw some good reviews but had a really bad, totally opposite experience. She seemed very unsure of what she was doing. At some points it was like I was giving her advice. I showed her reference pictures and noted specifically I want the beginning pieces this short (showed ref pic of short bangs) but side swept so they blend into the hair (showed ref pic). Instead she cut the entire bangs that short length and honestly it was very choppy, unblended This happened a few months ago and I had to go back and leave a bad review because it was that annoying. read more

Jillian has been the maestro behind my hair for more than 10 years now. Though I loved the blonde she created when I first started going to her, I honestly don't know if I'll ever NOT be a redhead now. What started as a photo of me as a redheaded 3 year old has evolved into a system she's created to make small tweaks for seasonality or if I'm feeling just a little bit bolder, etc, while still working with my skin tone and eye color. People comment on my color all the time and are surprised that it's not completely natural! read more

Jillian is incredible with curly and textured hair! She did an amazing job with my curly cut, so much so that I brought my 14-year-old daughter (who is biracial and has gorgeous coily curls). Jillian really listened to what we wanted, took her time, and even discussed the best products and how to keep the curls in their best shape between washes. Highly recommend. She's also really fun and lovely and great to talk to, which is an extra bonus for us clients whose cuts take time. Thank you, Jillian! read more

Immediately greeted by a wonderful salon team member and offered a drink (they had a wide variety). I saw Keenan who specializes in curly hair and he was fantastic! He took the time to listen to the type of style/cut I wanted and then came back with recommendations based on my hair and curl type. He also asked about my current wash and styling routine and gave detailed directions on what I should be doing and what products to use. It was so great to feel like I wasn't just getting a haircut but an education about how to take care is and style my particular hair. 10 out of 10! read more

As a new client, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Jillian! I was referred to her by a friend, and she gave me exactly the haircut and style I needed.

I'm a first-time client of the Compound Salon, and it won't be my last! I just relocated to the Culver City area and was looking for a new stylist who could work with my "combination" hair (sometimes curly, sometimes wavy and sometimes straight) and I found that someone in Mamie! She is an expert stylist at the Compound who is also fun, kind and great to spend time with --even from the seat of a hair salon chair. And, Mamie's expertise doesn't stop at cutting hair. She taught me all about extensions and which ones are right for different types of hair. Whatever your hair needs might be, check out Compound Salon, their great staff and especially Mamie. You'll be glad you did! read more

Keenan was a great hair professional, very skilled in how to assess curl hair structure, texture to define a cut that works with natural hair. He is so calming, cool, good vibes, very friendly, patient and detail oriented. He gave me good tips on how to do everyday styling with product he recommended and even gave me a comb to take home. Super reasonably priced too. Will def come back again. (Before and after pics) read more

Go see Jillian! Jillian has been doing my hair for about 10 years now and I would never even consider seeing someone else. She's taken me from my blondest days in my early 20s to a beautiful strawberry blonde in my 30s (pic below - no one does it better!) and I always get nonstop compliments on my hair. She is a true artist and creates such unique colors that don't just feel like a copy of someone you saw online. I trust her completely and she is always so intentional with every decision she makes and as a result my hair has never been healthier. Picture below of my most recent cut and color! read more

Karla, Karla, Karla. Karla!!!! Karla has been my go-to hairstylist for years, and truly she's the only person I trust with my color. She takes her time with every session, and that level of care shows not just in the final result, but in how much she genuinely loves what she does. I've gone through plenty of bleaching and coloring over the years, and somehow, somehow, my naturally curly hair is still full, bouncy, and healthy because Karla knows exactly what she's doing. But beyond her talent, Karla is just an incredible human. Sitting in her chair feels like catching up with a best friend. She's witty, warm, and knows how to read the room. She'll chat and laugh with you one minute, then give you the space to totally zone out the next (sometimes she likes the quiet too, which I love). Seeing her at Compound Salon is always a highlight. The atmosphere is so welcoming, and the camaraderie between the stylists, especially the strong, supportive female friendships, makes it feel like a second home. I always leave happy, feeling like my most confident self. If you're thinking about booking with Karla, do it. You, and your hair, deserve her magic. read more

The Compound is so amazing! They have great stylists there! I followed Jillian from her previous salon and she is the absolute best!

I've been going to Jillian for 8 years. She's back in Culver City! I've followed her wherever she goes. She always does the best blondes.

This place is super relaxed and comfortable. The green plant vibe is cute and calming. I came here for the first time today and definitely felt calm and relaxed as I had my hair cut and colored. Jillian has been doing my color and cut for many years. I've followed her to five salons so far and this is by far my favorite. Jillian is incredible with color. When I first saw her I was a nightmare client, wanting a honey blonde after dying my hair black for many years (naturally a light brunette ). I'd worked with a few stylists who had either given me zebra hair, the mom haircut or bird yellow or bronze blondes. Jillian is fun, funny and AMAZING with color. My hair comes out the perfect shade each time and the color lasts until my next appointment (often probably could go longer) 3 months later. She talks me through any changes we might make and has never done me wrong in terms of blondes. People compliment my hair often and I always recommend Jillian. While I've followed Jillian many places, this salon is definitely the most comfortable and welcoming. Parking was not a problem even on a day where there was an art fair down the street. Go see Jillian there! She's awesome and the salon is great. read more

Jillian is the best! I've been going to her for about 3 years and she uses non bleach products to do my highlights. She's completely changed the texture of my over processed bleached hair. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Went for a haircut as it was recommended to me by a coworker to see Jason. I have hair on the shorter side for a pixie and was pleased with how well it came out. He listened well to what I wanted and wasn't afraid to make it short which I appreciated. I feel like sometimes people are scared to go as short as I ask for. The front desk girl was really nice. Will definitely be back! read more

Dina is amazing and very good at what she does. My daughter's hair looks exactly like the photo we showed her. Best colorist in LA....she knows what u want and the outcome is stunning . Extremely grateful !!!!!! read more

Call me committed but Samantha has been the only human to touch my hair since 2018! In the beginning, when getting my hair dyed was still new to me, I went in with a few reference pictures, and I knew I wanted a more subtle but copper balayage - and Samantha delivered. It was subtle, but the copper tones came out in the sun. She is also great at figuring out placement so that even though the shades lighten over time, it still looks really good. I've included pictures from 2018 that include all the various phases my hair has gone through with length and color. I believe I have had around 4 balayages with Samantha and 6-7 haircuts with her. All in all - I recommend working with her and have a lot of trust in her judgement! Regarding the salon, The Compound, I've found that it is clean and the vibes are great. Everyone is always really nice. Parking is street parking, and I haven't had trouble finding a spot on weekdays. read more

I can't say enough great things about The Compound Salon and stylist/owner Jason! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming, stylish, and relaxed. The space is thoughtfully designed, and you can tell they take pride in creating an environment where clients feel both comfortable and inspired. Jason is the best! His attention to detail, creativity, and technical skill are unmatched. He takes the time to listen to what I am looking for and exceeds my expectations every time. For my son he understands the style/cut he is looking for and creates a look that perfectly suits him. You will be in expert hands from start to finish. What really sets Jason apart is his ability to make you feel like the best version of yourself. He doesn't just cut or style your hair--he transforms it into a work of art. My hair has never looked or felt better! Plus, his warm personality and genuine passion for his craft make the entire experience a joy. If you're looking for a stylist who truly cares and a salon that delivers top-notch service, look no further than Jason at The Compound. Highly recommended! read more

I am so so happy i found Karla! She did exactly what I asked and showed her. Her personality is amazing and we related a lot! Love this place and the location is so convenient to where I live. It's big inside, nice and clean and they fully stocked on all hair products you may need i definitely recommend booking here and especially with Karla. read more

Really enjoyed my experience here!!! Jason was open to what I came in for and wasn't trying to push a style on me like previous salons. I highly recommend him!!!! Definitely would return!!! read more

Everyone at the salon is lovely! But I specifically see Karla, and have been for the past few years. She's the absolute best. I typically go in for a cut and sometimes color (balayage or single process, depends on my mood), and I always leave feeling my best. I actually plan social events around my appointments with her because I know I'll leave feeling absolutely gorgeous. As a girl with curly hair, finding someone like Karla who cares about you not only as client but who goes out of their way to keep your hair healthy, is a gift. Every appointment is amazing and feels like a breath of fresh air, because she's one of the best out there and the sisterhood you feel in that chair is unmatched. She's also got the best blowout skills this side of the Mississippi. The compliments I get on my hair from the cut to the color once she's blessed my hair, are unending. I can't recommend her to enough people. read more

Keenan is a curly hair expert! I have thick, curly hair prone to frizz so it is very particular to handle. He was super knowledgeable about how to handle different types of curls. He walked me through the type of curl routine that would work for me, and he was respectful of the cut I wanted while also being realistic about what my hair could do and what would work for me. He also demonstrated exactly how I should be styling and diffusing my hair. I will definitely be going back to him. read more

Highly recommend, pros and fair price, Jason is talented friendly and you can't go wrong

Keenan King, hair stylist, is the best hairstylist I have found. I tend to get my hair trimmed or a full-on cut every six months or so, and have been to many salons, but none of them have stuck. I did not know how to manage my curly hair and had been straignten my hair for over a year, giving up on hope. But trying a new hairstylist, he walked me through everything, a great conversationalist, and knows precisely what your hair needs to look your best, natural hair. I am now confident to wear my hair and let my natural curls blow in the wind. I have gone twice to get my hair done and have fallen in love with my curls more and more ;) read more

My hairstylist Sierra did not listen to what I wanted. I asked for shorter hair with layers & she ended up cutting my hair way too short. Almost looks like I have bangs in the front. I specifically said not too short around my face/ front. Disappointed. read more

Two words: Lenna Kelly. She's the most talented colorist I've ever encountered. Her work is exceptionally meticulous and consistent. One of Lenna's other superpowers is her gift for anticipating her clients' needs. A moment that stuck with me was when I discovered she had been adding extra treatments to my washes for months. She never said a word or charged me. She just knew that was what I needed and executed. Honestly, iconic. More than just a talented professional, Lenna is a wonderful person. I'm so grateful I found her and hope you get a chance to step into her chair, too.... (but not really - you gotta stop booking my girl out). read more
