After reading all of the amazeballs reviews here on yelp, I decided to give this place a shot. Its super close to my house so I thought.. why not? There was a weird older guy lurking around the salon (he was friends with the owner I think) who was constantly staring at me and saying off putting and awkward things to me. I was clearly uncomfortable yet the owner was just sitting there laughing. I could have cried! Besides this, the stylist sucked. I have a bob with side swept bangs.. not the hardest of hairstyles right? MAN, do I regret coming here. I now have a triangle looking haircut. By triangle I mean its normal at the top then puffs out at the bottom. My bangs are completely unwearable. I have to pin them back. I didnt realise you could mess bangs up that much?! There is no finess in the cut whatsoever. I paid $65 which I guess is cheap? If you are by any means precious/particular about the way your hair is cut.. Don't come here! read more

I travel 3 hours from the Central Coast to get my hair done with Greg, that's how worth it he is! He uses all the latest design, color and shapes to make sure your hair looks fabulous. Seriously, he is such a hair artist, a guru of color! The focus and attention he gives along with his smart and charming personality keeps the experience exciting. Even a few months in-between cuts, my hair still grows out really well because the cut was done right. Go see Greg to get Gorgeous!! read more

Jenn has been my hair stylist for the past 6 years at least, she is truly the best and i will not see anyone else!!! Never before have i felt like someone really heard exactly what i want each time i get my hair either cut or colored. She will listen so well to my vision and description, advise what is possible with my hair type and then outdo herself. Not to mention the many great conversations we have had over the years- and let's face it, on top of all of that i get it at an amazing deal! The Phoenix Salon is my jam, nice and intimate although she is always booked out, funky interior, personalized service, i am a loyal customer! :) read more

Romi is my hair guru and I have been trusting my locks to her for more than 6 years! I send all of my friends to her. Even my sister-in-law asks for her when she's visiting from Austin, TX. She can do any type of hair, long, thick (I have enough hair for 3 people), curly, short, hilights, color, you name it, she can do it! And she is a sweetheart who I look forward to catching up with every 4-6 weeks. Did I mention she could charge double, but doesn't. She's a keeper! I would follow her anywhere! read more

Nicoletta has done my hair twice, cut and color. She is a great artist. The salon is big, bright and clean. Free two hour parking on the side street. read more

I have been going to Jenn (the owner) for all my hair needs for the past 18 years! A friend referred me to her back in 1999, and I followed her to a few different salons until she finally opened up her own place. She is so fantastic and absolutely knows my hair better than I do myself. She even did my hair for my wedding, making me look more glam that I thought possible. I've had trims to pixie cuts, perms to Brazilian blow outs, subtle highlights and even purple hair - she can really do it all. Most of all I love that she takes her time and never rushes, I feel like I'm getting special treatment every time. She really ought to raise her prices but thankfully she is still super affordable. All the other stylists I've met at the salon are very friendly, so if you can't get an appointment with Jenn you are still in great hands. Greg has done my shampoo a few times and gives the ABSOLUTE BEST neck massage I've ever had. Hands down. Definitely try this place out. I recently moved out of state but whenever I come back to visit friends I will definitely be making an appointment to get my hair done. read more

I have been going to Jenn for 13 years and I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. Not only does Jenn do THE best color (I am a redhead, and that is one of the toughest colors to get right & make stay) but Jenn has worked with me extensively to strengthen my super fine hair and make it healthy. I trust my hair to no one else. I highly recommend The Phoenix Salon. It's classy, well run and the stylists are talented, friendly, listen well and genuinely care about you and your hair. read more

i love this salon!!!!! Greg is my guy he always hooks me up and is the best. i wouldnt go any where else to get my hair done. i drive from Valencia to Hollywood just for him to do my hair, i love the atmosphere of the salon as well!! the products they use are amazing it makes my hair feel amazing! i get great tips and advice on how to keep my hair healthy. The whole Phoenix team are amazing , friendly, caring, and funny! PHOENIX SALON IS THE BEST!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! i give it one million stars! read more

I love Jenn. My hair has never looked better. I will never go to another salon again!

I got my hair bleached by the owner jenn, but she was so unfocused on my hair and more focused on her cellphone or making trips in and out of the bathroom with her purse, that after she bleached it my hair started coming out in handfuls because she had left the bleach on too long. Im so devastated now. I loved my length and now I had to cut it into a pixie, which I hate. She didnt even offer to fix it and said that if I wanted another appointment I'd have to pay for the service. read more

Jenn has been cutting my hair for almost ten years. There's a reason I followed her around when she was renting spaces. Nobody cuts my hair like her. Not only is she my friend now, but she really spends time getting your hair just the way you want it. She's honest. If your hair can't do what you want, she'll let you know, so you don't end up with something you don't like. Coloring hair is one of her specialties. The salon is definitely an extension of her personality. She is the genuine article. read more

Twice now I've called to get an appointment and no return calls. Anyone that runs a business like that has no business doing so. Odd given that I drive by the salon everyday and rarely see anyone in there. Never will attempt using them again. read more

I almost never get my hair cut (it's very long and stylist always cut too much), but a friend said to go here. And I loved my treatment and sweet stylist Nicoletta! Thanks for my trim! read more

Just went to have my hair done with Jenn. I was looking for a place closer to home after loosing my favorite hairdresser in Sherman Oaks due to perfect marriage. Jenn impressed me by giving me a truly perfect bob. she was very attentive, spent close to two hours with me, and as a result i left with a perfect cut. it's a bit pricey though, i paid $90 for a cut plus the tip but it was worth it considering how close the place is to where i live and how many complements i get for my new look. i am definitely going back. read more

I am consistently impressed by the high level of service at The Phoenix Salon. My hair is course and unruly, and stylist Greg Mora has the right products to tame it--always matched with the perfect cut. I discovered Keratin treatments here, and it's been life changing! (Seriously, no joke). The combo platter of Keratin, perfect highlights, and expert cuts has resurrected my hair from the dead! The Phoenix Salon is professional, yet fun and relaxed. Greg Mora is amazing and so nice, and I totally trust him with my hair. read more

An excellent salon. Very friendly staff that really works hard. They keep up with the latest trends. The most comfortable chairs ever. I always love coming back. read more

Lovely environment, peaceful, expert attention to all the guy stuff (tho I do see a lot of women there). And great service, with people who really to seem to relate to you. Can't remember when I've been treated so well. To state the obvious, I'll keep coming... read more

I love this salon, and not just because it's around the corner from my house :-). I've lived in LA for nearly twenty years and Jenn is by far the best colorist and stylist I've had the good fortune to meet a few years ago. She's very thoughtful with color and meticulous with her scissors. Whenever I walk out of there I feel like a million bucks (without breaking my bank!). And Greg's a sweetheart too! Good people and ridiculously talented! read more

Jenn has been cutting and coloring my hair for years and she is THE BEST. I constantly get compliments on my hair and always feel great because of her work. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I have followed Jenn for years! This is by far her best location because it is an extension of her. Go check her out!

Love this place! Recently came for a haircut and they did a great job! Plus, I knew a few other customers in there which made the experience fun. I like supporting small, local businesses and am a new customer of Phoenix. read more

I recently (at another salon) had my hair died back to its original dark color after a year of lightening it up. Within a few weeks the color was back to blonde. After a couple months of frustration I finally decided to give Phoenix a shot considering it was in walking distance to my house. GREG did an amazing, professional and healthy job getting my natural color back. This is a great, quiet, laid back and friendly salon. I look forward to this being our home spot for now on. I felt at home and comfortable in the clean and calming salon. Not to mention, he does NOT overcharge whatsoever. Awesome place. Thanks again! read more

GREG MORA!!!!! Greg is an amazing colorist and fabulous hair stylist. I have been going to him for years and he is amazing. He knows exactly what works for your face and skin tone. Would recommend him for men, women and kids.. Great guy.. great personality.. A hair god... Jen the owner has created a beautiful, relaxing and fun environment for their clients. The salon is centrally located to Hollywood. This is a definitely a must visit hair salon. read more

Greg does wonders! After getting my hair coloured, cut and blowdryed in June when I was staying around the area on holidays from Oz, I have noticed the colour has kept its vibrancy after 6 months. I refuse to go anywhere else and was willing to wait till i flew back into LA again. A very happy customer! read more

My hair is behaving so much better since Greg got his hands on it. The color looks natural and the cut holds volume even without blow drying. LOVE HIM! read more

Talk about giving a girl a new lease on life....Stylist Supreme, Greg Mora, just brought my hair from nappy to happy. I LOVE MY HAIR, GREG!!!!!!! If you have not yet discovered this talented, funny, accommodating professional Stylist, what are you waiting for??? This guy will not let you leave his chair looking anything but fantastic. If you enter the Salon looking a bit tragic, you can believe what I am saying.....you will leave there ready to conquer the world. When you have Greg at the helm, with his "bag of tricks" experience and good taste, you can truly have a relaxing time, with your head buried in a magazine, getting yourself caught up on the disturbing lives and lies of the Hollywood rich, knowing that you are just as glamourous, but without all of the baggage. You will know that you could rock the world just as hard as they do! As you leave Greg's "Lair of Beauty", you may not have made any plans to go out that night, and show yourself off, but trust me, you should. Your hair is way too pretty to watch TV on the couch. In a pair of sweats. After spending time in Greg's chair, enjoying the very definition of great "bed-side manner", topped off with easy to do grooming tips, you will be floating out the door on cloud 9. Greg is the complete package when it comes to Stylists. He's nice. He"s fun. He aims to please, and most importantly, he's f#@%ing good!!! Again, run don't walk, and book an appointment with Greg Mora at The Phoenix Salon. You have my personal recommendation, and ask anyone who knows me, I don't hand those out lightly ot very often. 5 stars for this guy!! read more

I simply cannot say enough good things about Greg Mora. I've been going to him for over 3 years and not only is he the best colorist I've ever had, he is such a wonderful person. He listens to what I want, charges me a very reasonable rate, and I honestly look forward to Saturday mornings every six weeks because I get to hang out with his sweet and funny self! I've done nothing but very light blonde for years and recently took a chance on mixing in some low lights and bringing down my base color. All I did was give Greg one picture from Pinterest and he was able to replicate exactly what I wanted. He is an incredibly talented colorist with a very keen eye for detail. He has never forced me to try anything I wasn't 100% on board with and always reiterates that if I'm not happy with something, he'll be more than happy to change it (although that hasn't happened yet!). ONE MILLION STARS FOR GREG AND THE PHOENIX SALON!!!! read more

Wow what can I say...I LOVE this place. I have recommended this place to ALL my friends. Just cause Greg almost did a miracle on my hair. When I first went in, my hair was VERY fried. In the previous salon I went to they over processed the bleach on my hair the HALF of my hair fell off =( . I was so embarrassed for a whole year walking around with that hair. But I was more embarrassed to go in to a salon to get it fixed. But I was recommended by a friend to go in to Phoenix. Well I finally owned to to getting my hair fixed...and boy it was so worth it! Greg put a treatment on my hair that made my hair feel silky and normal all over again. Ever since then I decided to just stick to him. He is very patient, and all the staff here is amazing. They make you feel so at home. I will recommend this to everyone I know. That is how amazing they ALL are. So if you are planning on going to a good salon, this is the place. read more

Jen is the best! I have tried multiple other people and no one can live up to the cut and color I get from her.

Greg Mora is an excellent colorist and stylist...love my haircut and color. Greg, Jenn and the rest of the staff are top in their trade and they are good people. Been a satisfied client for over three years. Also, the shampoo chairs are oh so comfy. read more

I was looking to book a hair appointment for my Mom, who has had recent health issues and needs my help. She lives less than a quarter mile from The Phoenix Salon, and with the overall good ratings I thought it would be a good fit. I did see the reviews indicating that they were lousy at returning calls and about them not being open that often, but ignored these, thinking that they must be way exaggerated. Six days and several phone calls later, I still have no response from them. I even walked by their shop yesterday, during their supposed business hours and they were closed. Not that there was a sign saying closed, or even a sign saying that the business is closed from X to Y date due to... I'm sure that there could be a whole raft of excuses thrown out as to why all this is happening with them, but to me it all boils down to them not being at all businesslike in how they operate. read more

Finding an affordable stylist that can work with dreadlocks is nearly impossible in this city. Those who "specialize" in dreads usually charge so much money, people living on a modest budget are forced to chose between good looking hair or a month of Cup O' Noodles. Thankfully, I came across Le Fab Greg Mora. Not only are his prices reasonable, his kick-ass hair mojo made my dreads look great with a deep, even color that's beyond incredible. (If you have long dreadlocks like me, you'll know how hard it is to achieve this result.) Greg's professionalism and skill has earned him a new hair groupie. The salon itself is nice and airy. Great atmosphere, very friendly staff and I really wanted to steal the massage chair they have for customers. They offer other services, too (like eyebrow waxing) which I plan on trying in the near future. The location is ideal - right off the 101 - and I found a parking spot immediately. I was a walk-in and didn't have to wait long; however, the place was pretty busy by the time I left, so I strongly suggest making an appointment first. I had such a wonderful experience at Phoenix, I feel compelled to reply to a negative review left by Tania W., which focuses on everything except the actual service. I don't understand her rather comical indignation about Phoenix's business hours. Granted, some places (like Supercuts) are open all week but establishments with capable, talented stylists are usually closed on Sunday. I am also not aware of any regulation that requires businesses to post business hours on their doors. Including something so insignificant in a review is ridiculous (to say the least) and makes me suspicious about (a) the validity of her comments and (b) whether or not she actually went to the salon. Additionally, her complaints about the stylist's lack of timeliness make no sense. Do the math - her timetable just doesn't add up. (Cahuenga Starbucks on a Saturday morning? At least a 10 - 15 minute wait for your order.) I hate to think that someone would intentionally malign a small local business out of spite but it wouldn't be the first time I've seen it done on this site. read more

I started coming to Petula after my stylist couldn't see me for 3 months. She's awesome! My color is beautiful! I went from blonde to a beautiful red. She's doing my picky daughter's hair too who's finally stopped complaining now that Petula has cut and colored her hair. She's very knowledgeable about color. She will explain how color works and the different types of color and what it will do to your hair according to the previous color or damage. She's like a chemist. I love it! I highly recommend her. read more

First, I live in the neighborhood and rarely see this place open during the hours posted here, in fact, no hours are posted on the door front. A salon that doesn't keep Sunday hours? OK, I worked my weekend around and accommodated the Saturday availability (hours posted here start at 9am on Saturday yet a stylist would not be available until 10a - must be busy right? Nope.) I arrived early and the salon was not even open at 9:45a, went to Strbx came back and waited until 10 minutes beyond my appointment and left only to get a call that now the stylist has arrived to open the shop...all I know is that getting cut/color processing is not cheap-and I want to show up at a salon that is open and ready to receive my business---not show up and wait while someone runs around to open the shop up. Not to mention being ten minutes or more late is just rude to the client. I feel like I maybe dodged a bullet on this---the other yelps here must be friends and family - or the only 11 clients they have because they are never open and now I know why. read more
