Unique is under new management. I know, because my hairdresser purchased it! :) It's now run by Emma, from Emma Hair Design - who used to be at Champs Elyees Salon on Broadway. Emma is great - her prices are fabulous and she really knows what she's doing. She's good at taking a look at your hair and suggesting ways to improve it (e.g. dry scalp, etc). She doesn't try to push product on you like other stylists, but just gently suggests things you could try. For the longest time, I was loath to change hair dressers even though my last hair dresser would squeeze in other people around my appt, stretching it to 7 hrs! I am SOOOO happy I've switched to Emma! Emma hasn't done this, and respects the time I have allocated for my appt. For highlights, treatment, cut and blowdry - it's usually around 1 1/2 hrs and around $130-ish. My friend pays $300 for this same service in Beverly Hills - and she says my highlights look better! :) My hair looks great, I have my Saturdays back (!!!). Easy parking, ATM in the Ralph's on the corner of Verdugo/Colorado. Cash Only, I believe. read more

I have been going to Emma for the past 5 years. She was great with my light brown hair and blonde highlights and she's been great with my darker brown hair! She has also done lo-lights on my hair. She has cut cute bangs for me, cut my hair short, cut layers and I've gotten many compliments when I get my hair done. Her prices are reasonable..way cheaper than Beverly Hils type salons. She will give you great hair advice and wont try anything that will damage your hair. There are a few other services offered at Unique but I'm not too familiar with them. read more

So this was the first time that I had gone to Unique Beauty Salon. After hearing from my relative about how amazing Emma is and saw her hair I told myself I needed to take a visit. Once I had arrive to the salon the atmosphere was inviting enough. The staff was amazing and no doubt their services. I got highlights, cut, blow dry , and Emma even helped me out by adding a mask to help with my damaged hair. I am completely in love with my new hairstyle and I will definitely be back! read more

I'd like to start my review by saying Happy Mother's Day Emma, I wanted to thank you very much so for making my girlfriend, Gabriela, look great; You transformed her hair by giving her a refreshed, yet, opulent look! I truthfully appreciate your hard work as an artist and look forward to seeing you soon! read more

Emma's been cutting my hair since, well, as long as I can remember. And I've never had a single complaint! The salon itself is very chic and modern, which definitely reflects on her personal style and taste. She doesn't rush through the cut like most hairdressers, but rather takes her time and makes sure every inch is to your liking. I've never actually dyed, highlighted, or done anything of the sort to my hair, but having watched Emma go through so many of these procedures, I assure you the outcome is always stunning. If you have to go to a wedding, or prom, or any other occasion that requires intense preparation, Unique Beauty Salon is truly a one stop shop. You can have your hair, eyebrows, and make-up done, AND purchase last minute accessories! In between all the services Emma provides, you can also go next door and get a manicure and pedicure. Overall, I love love love Unique Beauty Salon. Whether you're in need of the occasional trim or cut, or must look fabulous for that special night out, Emma will not disappoint! read more

Emma is a great hair stylist. Her highlights are the best. She always gets the color I like. I love changing my hair color from time to time and she is the only person I trust for that. Besides being a great hair stylist, she is an awesome person to get to know. Very nice and very generous. She has been my main hair stylist for the last 12+ years and I plan to keep it that way. Highly recommend her to everyone. read more

If you want constant compliments on your hair style, go see Emma. This is my personal experience for the last 3 years. Emma knew exactly what style would go with my facial structure. Every hairstylist I have ever gone to would chop my hair off and take my money. Emma is not your ordinary hairstylist, she is an artist. read more
