Tonia FREAKIN' LISTENS!!! Seriously, I don't know how many times I go to a place to get a haircut and they just do their own thing regardless of what I've told them. Tonia takes the time to listen and discusses how we can get the results I want. Also, she is a wealth of information on proper hair care and maintenance. You owe it to yourself to make an appt. with her. And she has a sweet kitty cat. read more

Tonia is talented , deeply knowledgable hair artist. I appreciated not only that she "de-aged" my graying train wreck locks and helped me figure out what color and cut to go with that suits my busy lifestyle. My first visit to Tonia was also an education. She explained some simple ways to prevent my hair from breaking and maintain its aliveness. Goldwell color is expensive but worth the investment. Its a splurge on something special for sure. read more

I have been to many other hair stylists and even artists and always left with a so-so cut and the color just wasn't right. If they did get it right, the color would fade within a week to a dull nasty burnt-brown (I have jet-black Asian hair and have always wanted candy-apple red hair). I was about to give up when someone referred me to Tonia - She was able to get me to the bright red shade I wanted using "Elumen" from Goldwell...apparently, you have to be specially trained by Goldwell to use the stuff...nothing I have tried before has been able to get my hair this color....She also taught me that I was using the wrong products (shampoo, hair spray, etc...) and that's why my hair would turn into brown mush after a few days.... To my surprise, THREE MONTHS later and my hair is just as vibrant as the day she colored it!!!! Worth a consultation if you ask me.... read more

Tonia is an artist!! I was terrified of hairdressers & Tonia has definitely fixed that phobia! I got a total make over, complete with bangs & could not be happier with the results - I've been stopped on the street more than once by ladies asking where I get my hair done and collecting details. Could not be happier. read more

Tonia Salon - Loving my hair after visiting Tonia!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Burbank, California

I must confess I feel that this review should have been written ages ago as I've been going to Tonia for years! The best part about Tonia besides her personality is she taught me how to care for and respect my hair and style as it grows. As long as I follow her tips and advice I never have a 'bad hair day' (I've had maybe 3 in 5 years and all were my own doing). Also, I've fine and thin hair and she cuts my hair so it looks fuller and amps up body naturally so I can go some days without using product or blowdrying. She's great to even call and ask for a recommendation on anything salon related - and it's always fun to geek out with her on products, styles, and trends! She's the best! read more

Tonia is the BEST at color and does really, really, really good cuts. Tonia's salon is also a haven...she always has amazing teas (that she also sells) brewing or a glass of wine. If you like to socialize, she always has friends, clients, etc. stopping by but if you need to escape, she will shut the blinds and put on mellow music. She is not cheap but very worth what she charges...all about quality and personal service. Will NOT fry your hair or do a weird cut that you have to spend a year fixing. (In fact, she is really good at fixing botch-ups). She is good at everything from the same boring cut you've had forever to funky rocker styles with crazy color. read more

Tonia is my favorite hairstylist in Los Angeles. She's a hair genius. She's amazing with cuts (which is all that I get because I don't dye my hair). But I do know she's also incredible with color because she made my Korean girl friend look like a natural blonde (seriously, it was the healthiest, prettiest blonde hair I've EVER seen on an Asian girl). And Tonia's hair has a blue tint to it that is the most gorgeous blue I've ever seen on hair--it looks like her dark hair has almost has a blue shine to it where the light hits, as opposed to the look of stripping hair of its color and then adding blue. Tonia tells you how to take care of your hair so that your cuts last longer. And they really do last for a really long time because she knows what she's doing--it grows out beautifully, so that it looks nice at all stages. I have shoulder length hair, after I've been to Tonia, I don't need another appointment for six months. (Otherwise usually I'll go get my hair cut about every three months.) Especially since I've started using the Goldwell shampoo that she recommended. I resisted for so long on the shampoo because I couldn't see paying that much for something that I could buy in a drugstore, but it's really made a difference--I don't get nearly the amount of split ends that I used to. And the shampoo lasts a lot longer than drugstore shampoo because you don't have to use as much of it. I've been going to Tonia on and off for about ten years now (since I moved here). The only reason I ever went anywhere else was while I was unemployed. But I also realized that the cuts last so long, that the money balances out. Additionally, I just love the atmosphere of her salon--it is SO relaxing, feminine, and attractively-lit...it feels like a Paris boutique. It's a little loft above a charming little garden. Very urban hideway. And Tonia herself is a delight. I go there every year on my birthday as a special treat to myself and for a perfect new start to a new year. read more

I created a yelp account JUST TO review Tonia salon. I went into Tonia salon after finding her online for specializing in gold wells Elumen line. Tonia is the best thing that yelp has ever lead me to. I called Tonia and told her about my hair color mishap. I have been dying my hair purple for almost a year now and was trying Elumen for the first time Elmuen is some serious stuff and when you mess up it takes some serious elumen product to get out. Usually when i go to a salon for color i dread the three hours that usually awaits me. I usually bring home work and try my best to focus sitting there by myself bored.. Well my whole view on getting my hair done has completely changed thanks to this color god. I got to Tonias and walking up felt as if i was walking into a tiny cute cottage. Its absolutely welcoming and stunning. Tonia is the only one who works there so not only do you get great results but you feel like a star! Your own little salon for the day. It was fantastic. I was having so much fun I didn't even get to my homework! The three hours flew by and i ended up with the perfect new shade of purple. Almost purple pink majestic unicorn hair. Not to mention it hasn't felt this healthy in years. I would like to call Tonia a hair doctor! She not only wants your hair to look good she wants it to be healthy! She is such a down to earth all around beautiful person inside and out. Im not super girly but every girl loves to get pampered once in a while. She was so fun and informative. Concidering i usually do my own hair she told me along the way what she was doing so not only did i get great services i got hair lessons! Let me just say my bathroom hair dying days might be over. I called my boyfriend right after and usually he awaits the tears and complaints. But this time he was happy to hear how excited i was! I have never walked out of a salon this satisfied. It usually takes a day or two for me for the change to grow on me but damn this chick nailed it! One picture and BAM PERFECTION. I usually hope from person to person but i found my new go to gal! Thank you so much Tonia! Today was a break from my hectic stressful life and damn thats how getting your hair done should be!!!! read more

I've been going to Tonia for over a decade. One thing you have to know about Tonia is that she is a brilliant artist. She understands the dynamics of hair and she adds movement to her haircuts, which makes them really distinctive. Tonia calls this the 'third dimension'!! Tonia is the PROFESSOR OF HAIR COLOR!! She has an impressive (and likely unrivaled) collection of Elumen in her color laboratory. She creates magic with her cuts and color. I've seen her color on many of my colleagues and I'm always blown away! I always get compliments on my color and style. Tonia works to create specialized hair color for her clients. She is so talented! read more

I fully concur with Rachelle C.: Tonia is the professor of hair. You will LEARN how to better care for your locks (which will be luxurious). She will use a GRADUATED CYLINDER to measure out a customized FORMULA for your unique color. If you like, she will gently EXPERIMENT on you, and take down NOTES so that when you come back (which can be a long time because you will look great for many months) she can collect her DATA so that it gets even better each time you visit. But if you already know THE ANSWER to your style and color, she will finesse it for you. I wish there were eleven stars to give here. She's an A++++ in my book! read more

This is as good as it gets! And no, you are not worthy. The pics focus on the cool colors that Tonia is doing, and she does. But she also does the most amazing hair cuts and I say this as a 50+ year old, nearly bald male. There is a huge difference even for me between a 'cut' at any barber and a treatment by Tonia! And no, you are not worthy! read more

Tonia is the BEST. I have been going to her for years and she always makes me look great. Go to her if you want to look your best.+ She is SUPER cool. read more

I've been going to Tonia for about 2 years now---found her through Yelp after looking for a salon that does Elumen color. Recently, I also took the plunge and decided to do the Japanese straightening treatment. I was very nervous about it because my hair has been bleached and dyed many times over the years but Tonia is extremely knowledgeable with her craft and customizes all the treatments for your individual hair type. When you go to her you are not "just another client"---it is a very interactive and personal process and she will really work with you to make sure you get the results you want. It's not cheap, but I have found that you really do get what you pay for when it comes to salons, and too many times I had gone to cheaper salons and was so unsatisfied with the results that now I go exclusively to Tonia. It is just her (and once in a while an assistant) in the salon so make sure you book in advance as slots fill up quickly! read more

I went into Tonia Salon feeling uncertain about what I wanted in a hair cut/color. We discussed all of my thoughts and finally picked out something that I was really excited and confident about. The results were BEYOND amazing. I have been going there regularly for a while now, and as my tastes have changed, so has my hair. Tonia has a way of really keying into what will be flattering and match my lifestyle. I have recommended several people over to the salon and each one leaves the same way--ecstatic and fabulous! I will be a Tonia customer for life. As a nice bonus, not only is the hairstyling fantastic, but the salon feels like home. I almost took my shoes off one time, I was so comfortable. Wonderful, yummy drinks and incredible products abound! read more

Tonia Salon is an Los Angeles gem. First, she is a phenomenal colorist. Her blow dries and cuts are excellent. And the atmosphere is amazing -- you are the only person and there is wifi -- so you can just work quietly on your computer, or watch tv, listen to music. She also has great snacks and drinks. I bring my kids and they love it too. She is truly an amazing person. read more

The best cut in LA!!!! I have been going to Tonia for hair cuts for over 7 years now and will not let anyone else touch my hair! In fact, I now have the whole family going to her and everyone loves her and my wife thinks she is an incredible colorist! I cannot recommend Tonia high enough....wish they had a 6 star button! read more

Tonia is the best! Been going to her for years and wouldn't go anywhere else!
