The cut was exactly what my hair needed, but the balayage truly blew me away. My naturally auburn/copper hair can be difficult to lighten without turning orange, and Mitra nailed the color on the very first try. I've honestly never had my highlights done this well! She is incredibly talented with color, and I couldn't be happier with the result. Highly recommend her!!!!

I was in. Santa Monica for a few days & needed a healthy trim. As soon as I walked in, Sara greeted…read moreme with such warm, welcoming energy. We immediately exchanged compliments, so I was so happy when she told me she would be the one cutting my hair. She offered me a scalp massage, which was very relaxing. She recognized that I have fine, thin hair, & recommended a product that would help, which was so appreciated. The way she styled it was perfect, & the products she used held my hair straight in the Santa Monica humidity all night! Sara is a true woman's woman, will make you feel pampered, beautiful & special. I highly recommend her services & any time I'm in the area, I will be booking with her!

I have been greeted with kindness and friendliness every visit. The atmosphere is light and airy, and the salon is extremely clean. I love the large windows in the front of the salon. I'm very particular when it comes to my hair as I have had so many negative experiences in the past and I cannot recommend Jaclyn enough. She really listens to your goals and gives you realistic expectations. I was so nervous to go lighter with my natural brown hair and she exceeded all my expectations. Every visit in her chair it feels like you are catching up with an old friend. I will gladly continue to travel the distance to Santa Monica for Jaclyn.

Angel was available at this time and she was phenomenal! We did a hair consultation before getting started and I'm pretty open to stylist suggestion. She loved my hair length and we decided to take a few inches off but do a lot of layers and face framing to bring some texture and movement to my cut. She spent a lot of time blowing my hair dry and styling with it as well (I was paying a lot of attention hoping that I'd be able to pick up some tips and tricks for next time I try to do my own hair!). I felt so much lighter after the cut and am absolutely in love with my hair again. I also loved that they give a robe for you to change into before the cut. Then the smock on top of it to stop the hair pieces. The whole salon was open and airy and I felt very well taken care of the whole time here. I highly recommend!

She always does a beautiful job layering my cut and I get compliments often. She's remarkably fast and is reasonable in her fees. I've paid 2x the price for a lesser quality cut. My girls still come to her when they are home from school. Studio is clean and upbeat and very dog friendly.

Highly recommend!

Grace gave me one of the best haircuts I have ever had…read more The appointment took a bit longer than usual, but you could see why. She paid close attention to every section and never rushed a single step. Her level of detail stood out right away. I have never had someone work with such precision and care. She used scissors almost the entire time instead of relying on clippers like most barbers do. That approach made a huge difference in the final result. The cut looks clean, balanced, and natural. If you want a stylist who focuses on quality and takes pride in her work, book with Grace. You will see the difference.

We found Scott through his incredible Yelp reviews and instantly had a good feeling. We booked an appointment, and from the moment we walked into his studio, we knew we made the right choice. Scott is the ultimate professional, warm, approachable, and incredibly collaborative. He immediately asked if we had any inspiration photos and took the time to talk through what would work best for my son's face shape and hair texture. Not only did he validate our choice, he elevated it. You could feel his experience and passion in every step of the process. The haircut turned out fantastic. My son walked out feeling confident and totally transformed, in the best way. Scott's attention to detail and easygoing nature made it such an enjoyable experience from start to finish. We also loved his studio. It's filled with character and creativity, with walls adorned in surf and skate photography and beautifully displayed skateboard art. It felt like stepping into a curated slice of Southern California culture, which only added to the good vibes. Scott even suggested that my son's long hair could be donated to Locks of Love, which made the whole experience even more meaningful. I honestly can't say enough nice things about Scott. If you're looking for a stylist who is not only skilled and professional, but also kind, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in your vision, look no further. We're already excited to come back and recommend him to everyone we know.

I had a fantastic hair appointment with Nancy. Let me get…read moreinto the details... I had booked her last year around November/December, but I totally kept changing dates due to just having a very busy work/mom schedule. Well the time came and Nancy was so kind to remind me about my appointment. I finally was free and went ahead and got my hair done. It came out soooooo amazing! So many compliments too. When I walked into the salon one the hairdressers greeted me warmly and guided me to sit where Nancy normally works with her clients. I felt really warm vibes immediately. Once Nancy arrived (I arrived extra early) she began her magic. But during the process, the gentle approach and her attentive ability to communicate and lather my hair gently sold me. Usually you're used to being splashed here and there, well my experience with other hair dressers. I was surprised I didn't get much water in my ears which is a problem for me since I have ear sensitivity and I'm just used to getting ready and embracing for the worse. I didn't get a wet back at all and I didn't feel rushed ever. I felt very comfortable and welcomed. Do you know how hard it is to find a hair dresser with great hospitality service? Yeah this one is a gem. I really recommend stopping by or booking with Nancy. 1000/1000.

This place is amazing and these stylists are all fantastic…read more Jo is my regular stylist now for more than 5 years. I drive all the way across the city to see her and it's worth every minute of traffic. She is excellent at her job, very professional, very communicative, easy to collaborate with and so so sweet. A delight to talk to! I feel so comfortable in her chair, and you know, how awkward this particular activity can sometimes be! Jo is a lovely person and a talented stylist. I'm so grateful for this relationship, both with her and with my hair, which she made me love again by knowing just how to deal with all my problem areas. She knows how to take all the fluffy weight out of my otherwise dense and frizzed out hair. I always come out of here feeling lighter and more beautiful than when I walked in. The price feels like a steal for the quality of the workmanship and the joy I feel walking out. They are usually running on schedule and I have rarely had to wait past my appointment time. I find that they are easiest to get ahold of on the phone in the earlier part of the day, and they do call back on left messages, text and respond to yelp appointment requests, which is wonderful. They get very busy during the day and this is a small team, so the service is personal, even when it takes some time to communicate. This shop is bright, airy, comfortable and clean. They always have good music going, and not too loud. The bathroom is spacious and always well appointed. They sell lovely jewelry, crystals, candles and other items, in addition to luxurious hair care products. Parking is very easy, even tho it's only street. There are meters on Lincoln, but I usually park down Marine or one of the other side streets for free, just watch for street sweeping hours.
