Last nite i once again rid myself of the horrors of curly, frizzy, unruly hair and replaced it with beautiful straight, shiny, and manageable hair. This was achieved through the beauty of my new best friend, Grace. Grace is a lovely young woman who definitely knows a thing or two about hair. She is friendly, outgoing, and makes the hours of straightening just wiz by. She charged like half of what other Japanese salons does. Next week, im going back for a cut . . . check this place out. they are a little on the hard to find side, but worth it. read more

I'm surprised there are no reviews of this shop yet! I've been going to get my hair styled (yes, styled; "cut" is what you do to an overgrown hedge) for the past year and a half and have been happy with the results. Jane (the owner) is an awesome chick that always hooks me up with a tight hairstyle. She's kind of feisty as a person but I dig that. :-) I've also had my hair styled by Elezar (sp?), who's also got mad skills with the shears. He's a little bit more expensive than Jane but considering the way my hair is he's worth the price. The clientele's pretty well-mixed-- I see both guys and girls of various backgrounds get their hair hooked up all the time here. The only reason this place doesn't get the full 5-star treatment-- the price. :-\ I'm not exactly made of money and sometimes it's hard to justify the cost of my haircut so I try to stretch my hairstyle for an extra month or so between each visit. Ultimately, though, I feel their service is worth it. Now if only I could win that darn CA Lottery I'd be set... read more

So! I just got my hair colored at The KuttingRoom and I LOVE the color! Every time I do get my hair done at The KuttingRoom, I walk away completely satisfied and know that my hair is always in good hands. And the constant complements that I get from people is a bonus. :) Also, I notice Jane, the owner is always teaching her staff on trick of the trade and that makes me feel comfortable to know that her and her staff are all on the same mentality of how I like to have my hair look and feel. I also walked away with some more awesome Bumble n' Bumble products as well as some awesome jewelry from Moo Products and I love them! Thanks Jane and The KuttingRoom for doing my hair for the past 3 years and consistently keeping me satisfied! read more

Jane is amazing at what she does! I always wanted fuller (big & sexy) hair because my hair is stick straight and thin. She knew exactly what I needed from service procedure to products and thought me how to care for my hair to achieve this kind of look everyday. She is really knowledgeable and I love the way she is so passionate about what she does. I trust her completely. Love her read more

Jane is amazing!!! She's a bit of a drive (3-4 hrs round trip) for me, but sooooo worth it. Her cut is amazing and gets even better with time. She somehow knows how your hair will grow out in a few days, then a few weeks. Nice, talented, experienced, and listens to what you want and gives great suggestions. 10 stars!!! read more

The KuttingRoom - Took off years and inches!!! - Makeup Artists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I've been going to Jane at The Kutting Room for about 10 years now. I will follow her anywhere! It took me 6-7 years to finally find a stylist in LA that knew how to cut my extremely thick hair and that I completely trust. My sister saw how fantastic my hair looked and started going to her soon after me, and she has been w/ Jane ever since, too. She also gives really stylish men's cuts! She's amazing! read more

AMAZING!! Got my hair cut by Jane and it was absolutely fabulous. I hate going into a salon and they ask, "what do you want" and they continue to create whatever look they like anyway. Jane told me exactly what would work for my hair type and what would make me look the best! I absolutely love my color and cut. Not only that, but she truly educated me on how to take care of my hair even after I left the salon. She recommended products and made sure I knew exactly how to use them and style my hair for the optimal look. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone (and I do!). She also did my friend's hair, and it came out absolutely amazing. This salon may be an art gallery by name at night, but during the day, there is clearly art being made. Yay for Jane!!! read more

I had trouble finding someone who knew how to cut my type of hair... until I met Jane at The Kutting Room 5 years ago! She isn't just cutting my hair...shes sculpting...using many techniques to get the hair looking just the way it should. She's a master and takes her clients hair very seriously. Like an art form...and she's super cool. I drive from Hollywood to Santa Monica for her. Couldn't be happier! The salon itself is gorgeous and open. Love it! read more

As one who enjoys spending money to improve her quality of life, I really appreciate when the service/products I receive are worth the price paid. My shopaholic cousin has taught me that high cost items can be measured on a cost-per-use scale. When it comes to haircuts, I will spend anywhere from $5-$300 depending on my desired style and quality of service. I ran into an old church friend of mine who's gained some weight since the last time I saw her and was completely distracted by her hair. She gave me a card for a girl named Grace and I took it. (Hey if a great haircut will distract people from looking elsewhere, I'm sold.) Thus, I arrived at the Kutting Room. The Experience: Grace was friendly and confidant without being overbearing. She was pleasant and calm when I badgered her over the phone and super chill when I showed up at the Kutting Room. (In retrospect, one probably should not snarl at a stylist before meeting them but I've had so many disappointments concerning bad stylists, I'm no longer walking into disaster with both eyes closed. Thank you T at RS.) I called to let her know I was running late and she was really nice about it. I didn't have a picture of the look I wanted so my description was probably pretty vague but my hair came out looking all shades of hot. It's another layer but will actually look good growing out. (My hair always seems to look ratty whenever my cuts grow out.) Grace was quick, got the job done, made small talk without being over chatty and cracked jokes with the other stylists. She also gave me quick styling tips for lazy days. All in all it was refreshing to get styled from an actual stylist who lets their work speak for itself rather than wasting time and money with pretentious wannabes who either 1. pretend they know what they're doing and damage your looks or 2. know they can't do what you want and harass you about what they think you should do with your hair. Grace can cut and she's fun. I have a color appointment with Grace when I get back from NY. This will be the first salon and the first stylist I've actually returned to for additional service. Cheers!!! read more

Been going to Jane for about 6 years and never left. Shes wicked with an awesome fun personality that keeps be coming back every few months. Easy on the eyes, i love her! read more

EDWARD SCISSORHANDS Before I went to my appointment at the Kutting Room I had a bad feeling. I was right because the owner pulled an Edward Scissorhands on my hair, it was not a happy ending. She talked all the while butchering my hair. As a result, my hair looks and feels worse, thinner and less shiny. She said that it was texturized- and that means "tangled". The layers and lengths are awful as well. Trust me- do not go here! read more

I will always vouch for The Kutting Room. Jane, the owner, is the most knowledgeable stylist in her profession. I am always confident she will do an excellent job. I often let her style my hair how she sees fit and I am always pleasantly surprised, leaving her feeling confident. She is honest and has great style. read more

Awesome salon with awesome people!!! LOOK for grace! she knows her stuff. She is the hair color goddess.. you will not regret it!

I met Jane through a mutual friend and she gave me her card. I hadn't been too happy with how my previous stylist was cutting my hair so I decided to make a change with Jane. Jane did an AWESOME job. I absolutely love the color and cut she gave me. All my friends and family love what she did with my hair. Jane gave me a few suggestions on how to style my hair, and whenever I try one out the compliments come flying. I have found a new friend for life. Thanks Jane! read more

I've been going to Jane at The Kutting Room for 5 years now. She takes good care of me and I trust her input and decisions completely when it comes to my hair. She has transformed my hair from various lengths and styles. She always recommends good hair products based on your hair type and intended style too. Aside from her cutting skills she's easy to talk to when you're in the chair. Can't ask for more than that! read more

I have been coming to the Kutting Room for years now and I don't even live in LA anymore. It is the only place I get my hair cut and even if I have to wait to make a trip to LA I refuse to get it cut anywhere else. In regards to the guy who got his ear cut, I was actually there when this happened getting my hair cut too. From what I saw the stylist was trying to help the guy but he just ran to the bathroom. Before anyone could do anything to try and help he had taken off his robes and walked out the door. Although I understand this guy wanting to get out and get it looked at there is no need to blame the establishment or the stylist. I talked to the stylist and the owner about the incident and nothing like this had ever happened before. Like I said I have been coming here for years and go WAY out of my way to do so (I live in Scottsdale, Arizona). I have recommended close friends and family to The Kutting Room and no one has had anything but wonderful things to say about the services they received. As this guy said he had been coming to The Kutting Room for a long time too and I think it is weird that because of one bad incident he would come on here and write a bad review for a place where he had been a regular customer for years. read more

Jane (The Kuttingroom) thanks from Eloquence Magazine Korea!!! Our November issue is by far the best issue, you and your team were amazing, working with James Kyson Lee from the Heroes!! Be ready, we want to continue to build upon our relationship. Jane (The Kuttingroom) your work exceeded our expectations!! read more

my first time was an experience, but the stylist's awesome attitude made up for it. my stylist was the owner jane and i basically let her cut away. i love my cut!!! it's grown out a bit but she knows how to work wiht her texture & your personal style. the salon is also an art gallery by nite so it's very unique, urban-ish, vibey! very LA/Hollywood! i 've recommended friends & family and they all had positive feedback! it's hard to find a stylist & i'm happy i finally found jane! read more

I got my hair and make-up done for an engagement shower a few weeks ago, and I really liked the style and make-up. Grace did my make-up... she was awesome! It came out beautifully, and Sheila did my hair in a up-do which isn't easy because it was kind of short. She really spent a lot of time getting it just right. Thanks! read more
