Great experience at Ame with Theresa "Tree". She had such a calming vibe. She gave me the best haircut I've probably ever had and knew how to make my super flat and fine hair have movement! She was kind and gentle and super skilled. She gave me just what I wanted and needed. Worth every penny. Thank you Ame Salon and thank you Tree! read more

Elana is the best hairstylist I've ever seen. My hair has never looked better. I'm blown away. Words cannot express how happy I am with my haircut. The salon is absolutely beautiful. It's an atmosphere you dont mind spending time in that's for sure! 10/10!!! I will never go anywhere else. This is my place. read more

Lahv Lahv Lahv this place! Best scalp detox on the planet! My scalp feels like it just returned from a spa vacation. The products were so good; I think my hair follicles threw a little party. The staff are incredibly friendly and provide a follicular fiesta. It's a haven for anyone seeking a relaxing and effective scalp detox. I've been to several scalp detox places but this one is the mane event!!! read more

Highly recommend this beautiful salon. Everyone here is so kind and warm. I have my hair done by tree the atmosphere is beautiful but Tree is truly an outstanding hair dresser. The best part is talking to her while she does your hair. Beautiful soul and so glad to have met her in this lifetime. I always get compliments on my color and how natural it looks.

I cannot sing enough praises for Blake at Âme! He is a colorist genius who knows how to make your hair look incredible, healthy and vibrant. Trust me, you'll walk out of there looking like a million bucks! read more

As a Francophile, first off I must point out the name of the salon. Âme means soul in French. And trust me you feel its soul before you even walk in. Bright, airy, and cozy, this salon makes you feel like you're nourishing your soul. Everything looks amazing - the remodel looks good and it's nice to be inside a place where everything is a new and fresh. Now, about the hair. I've known Sara, the owner for 7 years. She not only does a fabulous precision cut for bobs, but she also gives the best scalp massage I've ever had - which means that the new part of her business - scalp care and trichology - is going to take off 10000%. Anyway. Sara is a lovely human being, treats people with respect, and emanates with warmth and creativity. IMO the perfect person to do your hair or recommend you to someone on her talented team of stylists. The neighborhood is also wonderful - restaurants, boutiques and coffee shops abound so you can make a day of your self-care trip to the salon. Metered street parking is usually fairly easy to find. read more

I'm undecided about giving this professional, lovely, comfortable, accommodating salon a 5 star review because I want to make sure I can get an appointment when I want one. NO negative appraisals of this salon. I have followed the owner through 3 salons (not a bad thing, just basically outgrew her expertise and clinical background). No hesitations in recommendations to come for a great cut, color, or overall experience from any of the specialists. Just don't take my appointment read more

I can't speak highly enough of this salon. Blake is the definition of perfection when it comes to haircutting. He transformed my hair and I've been getting a ton of compliments. read more

This is an excellent salon with super talented stylists. I followed Elana here from her last salon so I recommend her particularly. She does both my cuts and my color and I'm a prissy bi*** so you should take it from me that she knows what she's doing! Her work is 10x better than the dopes at Sally Hershberger and you get to skip that surcharge ;) The salon is small, which I think is nice - as far as I'm concerned it's the best kept secret in Los Angeles. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Elana Cohen at Âme! My hair was due for a trim and Elana not only made my hair feel fresh and healthy with a cut, she also styled it perfectly to match my desired length and look. She also recommended amazing products to use to make sure my hair stayed healthy afterwards. The salon is located in a great area and the staff was very inviting and friendly. Would highly recommend Elana and any stylist at Áme! Great environment! read more

I've been looking for someone to trust with my wavy/curly hair in West LA and have found that at Âme! Elana has been doing my cut and color and I couldn't say enough great things about her and her work. She has a fun and personable vibe, always ensures I'm happy with my length and color before leaving the salon, and has made multiple great product recommendations for aftercare. The salon itself feels bright and intimate, the rest of the staff is lovely as well. Definitely recommend Âme and Elana for my fellow curly haired gals! read more

I love this salon! Sara has been cutting mine and my wife's hair for years. The space is very bright and welcoming and it's in the cutest neighborhood. Parking is easy and free which is unheard of in Santa Monica and I've really enjoyed seeing how she's expressed her personality in to all the fine touches of Ame. Make sure you book an appointment ahead of time because word is getting out quickly! read more

Elana has been both cutting and coloring my hair for years. She always helps me figure out exactly what I want and I always leave the salon feeling fab. Great for the curly haired folx!! read more

if you're looking for a new stylist in santa monica, Bree is the only option truly. Her natural talent paired with her passion for hair, is really something you don't see now a days. She cares!! unlike most who just want to make a quick buck and then service your treatment a month later. Bree, is someone i recommend to friends and family weekly, as will you. Not to mention she is full of that southern hospitality something we are missing out here in california !! read more

I messed up my hair color by trying some home herbal color treatment! I panicked as my hair turned orange! I made an appointment to Elana, she assured me that she'll fix my color to the color I want it to be! Elana is a true professional and an expert - she did as promised. I am so happy I got the perfect I want. Thanks Elana! I will see you again! read more

Sara has been cutting and coloring my hair for nearly seven years. She's fantastic - I followed her from one salon to another, and finally to Ame. Not only is she highly skilled and naturally talented as a stylist and salon owner, but she is also one of the kindest, most compassionate and thoughtful business owners. She leads with curiosity, wisdom, and an open heart, all of which make the experience of getting your hair done that much more pleasant and special. read more

I cannot say enough great things about this salon and it's owner Sara! Sara is the blonde whisperer and is an expert on hair loss and also how to repair damaged hair. The salon is peaceful and clean. I also really appreciate that Sara does not push any products or services. Highly recommend! read more

Sara's amazing. Love my cuts and blowouts from her.

wow! I love my hair again. After a few years of Covid neglect, I landed upon Elana at Ame salon. the color the cut - fantastic. it's me again! do not hesitate. Elana knows what she is doing with hair read more

I got my hair done by elana and I will never switch up on her! She did an amazing hairline on me and my blonde grows out so beautifully now. I've never had highlights that grow out so natural looking. Definitely recommend going to her if you want amazing hair with a great grow out read more

I don't trust many with my hair, but Elana at Âme is the exception! Elana was so good at listening to what I wanted and helping me get there. She took such good care of me and I really appreciated that she followed up afterwards to check in and make sure that I was happy with the results! read more

Where to begin? I've been getting my hair colored since I was 19 years old and until Elana, every hair stylist I'd go to would try to get my color as light as I wanted, but not quite to what I'd hope for. I'd leave the salon happy, but not ecstatic - that is until I had the pleasure of having Elana do my hair!! With every cut and color with Elana, I leave the hair salon feeling my most confident & beautiful self - smiling from ear to ear all the way home!! I have dark jet black roots and it's quite hard to get my hair as light as she does, but she takes her time with me, gives me the full care from Malibu treatment to deep conditioning and always recommends the best products to help me take care of my hair outside of the salon. I can go months without seeing Elana and that's because the way she takes care of my hair and color when I do see her is always long lasting and grows out perfectly. Of course there gets to a point when it's finally time to get myself back in the salon for a much needed cut, and that experience is always the best R&R treat! The workers there make you feel comfortable and always asks if we want refreshments. It's truly a whole spa day! Whether you need a fresh cut, a change up with your hair color, or a blow out for an event, Elana is your girl and I promise you won't regret the experience you'll have with her at Ame! Thanks Elana!! read more

Âme - Elana did an incredible job with both my hair cut and my color! I always feel so beautiful after leaving the salon all thanks to her talent! - Hair Salons Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I've been going to Bri for 4 years after struggling to find a perfect fit in Los Angeles. I even drive my butt to Santa Monica just to continue seeing her! She first fixed a really bad bleach job from an amatuer and has kept my hair healthy and beautiful ever since. This shop is adorable, accommodating (dog treats and espressos!) and the owner is good to his employees and customers. read more
