I rarely leave reviews, but I have to for this! I had an appointment with Viki at 6:30 PM, which was the earliest time available, and I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, from the moment I arrived, the experience was disappointing. Viki was on her phone when I walked in and barely acknowledged me. Before the appointment, I had texted her pictures of my hair along with several Pinterest inspiration photos, but when I showed them again in person, she acted as if she had never seen them. Even though she said she could do what I wanted, her attitude was dismissive and negative throughout. She made it seem like she was doing me a favor by taking the appointment, even though that was the time her boss had scheduled. Her tone and demeanor made the entire experience uncomfortable, and I ended up leaving before the service even started. I left feeling deflated and doubting what I had originally wanted to do with my hair. It was clear she did not want to work that evening, but if that was the case, a quick text or reschedule would have saved us both time. On a positive note, when I called her boss afterward, she was very kind, apologetic, and understanding. Overall, this was an incredibly disappointing encounter, especially considering how many great stylists there are in the South Bay. Try someone else at the salon who has a better attitude. read more

Mayu is the best!! I see her for everything hair related: keratin, ashy blonde color on Asian hair & fun edgier cuts! Everyone I've recommended to see her loves her & her energy. I've definitely gotten the most compliments on my hair since starting with her. Followed her from Santa Monica to the Southbay, if you're looking for a new stylist, she's your girl! read more

Been here a handful of times and Rachel D and Caitlin were great. Made an appointment and nobody was available so Stacey did my hair. I needed a root touch up for some stubborn greys and a blowout, which I scheduled. She missed all my greys, didn't give me a blowout and wouldn't explain why, and gave me a leave treatment on the house which broke me out in painful hives (I am not allergic to ANYTHING). I was on the plane to Europe with hives all over me, and only after I fully washed out everything she put on me, did it go away. The owner refunded me but wouldn't even give a discounted or free next visit, so I told her I would not be coming back. This was genuinely one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a hair salon. read more

I was SO happy with my color from Staci Anderson! Not only does Staci know color, but she knows how to make you feel confident and gorgeous! If you're looking for color that elevates your natural beauty and looks effortless then go see Staci! Highly R read more

Vikki is the best hair stylist for hair extensions ever! My hair extensions last forever and they are so comfortable. I found my new hair girl in Hermosa!!!! read more

Vikki Luna sprinkled a little magic in my hair today!! This was my first time to the salon and as most people probably know, that can be a little scary when you don't have a comfort level with your stylist yet. However, from the moment I sat down it's like we spoke the same language. She understood the assignment and gave me more than I could have hoped for. Beautiful highlights/color refresh and a cut that breathed life back into my very long grown out hair. I cannot say this loud enough... if you book with Vikki, you will be a very happy human! The salon is super cute and literally every stylist there was so pleasant and welcoming which is just an added bonus!! Give them a chance to knock your socks off, too!! read more

Vikki is the best! She left my hair looking amazing! She was so communicative about what would be best for me and how to maintain my hair! She also recommended me products to be able to get my hair to be the healthiest it can be! Will definitely be going back to her!!!! read more

I've been seeing Therese (owner) for over 10 years for hair extensions. She does the most beautiful job with my hair and is super meticulous.

Caitlin did an amazing job! I went it for a wash and styling before an event. She did the most amazing massage during the wash. She also recommended a purple shampoo that really brightened my grays. I really liked the vibe of the place. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. read more

Was referred to this place by a friend of mine and was very disappointed by their work. I paid about $320 for what I believe was highlights, when I had asked for more of a balayage. I wanted dark hair with some, still dark, honey like brown colored accents. When I left the salon it was lighter than what I had asked for, which I was ok with because it didn't look too bad BUT after the FIRST wash my hair turned completely yellow! The placing of the highlights & the color was just so blatantly off! The picture I posted says and explains everything. I did reach out to the salon a couple weeks later when I couldn't stand looking at myself in the mirror and they did offer to gloss it over so I came back and my hair was glossed (aka toned/dyed to a darker color), again not what I wanted but I figured it was better than yellow and I just wanted to move on with my life! But, as many of you ladies know, our hair isn't JUST HAIR, ITS EVERYTHING! My hair is now so so damaged and I had requested a partial refund from my bank to at least use some of the money toward trimming my hair and trying to repair the damage but it was denied. I'll just have to spend even more money. Also, aside from my hair turning out badly, my sister and I had booked appts the same date and time to be able to spend time together since we live far from each other, and her stylist ended up never showing up. My sister ended up waiting for hours with me wasting time. I understand that things happen, I've called off my job before, no biggie, but what didn't sit well with us was the lies we were told. One worker told us she was on her way and was just running late and asked my sister to hang tight. Then after some time the other worker told us she woke up sick and was throwing up and wasn't going to be able to make it in today? So she was on her way here or did she wake up sick? When they realized they had different versions of a story they looked like deer caught in headlights and one of them tried to retract what she said. It would have been fine to just know the truth so my sister could have left and picked me up later. read more

Melissa gave me everything I wanted and everything I didn't know I wanted in my balayage!! She was awesome, highly recommend!

After 29 years of loving my natural brunette color, I decided I wanted a change but was unsure what I was looking for. Samantha at 505 Salon was such a gem to work with! She has a great eye for color and knowing what would look best based on potential ideas I had. She listened to my concerns regarding hair damage and was able to recommend products to support my healthy hair journey and maintain the fantastic color she had transformed my hair to. After having 2 wonderful experiences with Samantha, I can't imagine trusting anyone else with my hair! read more

The salon handled this very beautifully, They accused me that I'm a LIAR. The way they talked to me like I made stuff up, worse case is like I was a thief. Instead of contacting me directly through my inbox --which they never did, they played detective on me by looking me up to find out if I actually was there, by searching my alias name on their system. Once they never found anything, they got super defensive and were rude to my mother in law who tried to help get a refund (I used her credit card to pay for it, that's why she offered to contact them to get the refund). Yelp is a public platform where people can write their honest opinion. But seems to me like they can not handle negative feedback very well. That is why they tried to fight so hard and never sincerely admitted that they were wrong. At first when they said they would give me a refund was a lie. They never intentionally meant that. You can see in the comment they ask when I came in, that they couldn't find me in the register, to make me look like I never actually went in. Perhaps made me look like I was their competitor who made up a story to attack them. Well nah...this is a genuine opinion from a real person. Real review. Period. Also yes I edited the amount that I mistakenly wrote in my pervious comment, big deal. A reason for this? Because it was awhile ago (in March), and by the time I was writing the review in June, I forgot how much exactly I paid. I wrote it incorrectly, and it happens when you make millions of purchases in months. After finding out the exact price, I edited my comment like they said, to "suit my statement". I did not know this means so much to them. That still doesn't change the fact that they're in the wrong. And were extremely rude to me, accusing me of lying. All I can say, there are other "upscale" salons in this area, just go somewhere else. read more

Richelle has been my hair girl for over a year now and I'm so grateful to have found her. She's really a hidden gem in the south bay, I've gone to so many salons and could never figure out why I wasn't happy with my balayage. I'm super picky with my hair and she's the only girl I trust now, I'm obsessed! Her technique is amazing and keeps my hair long and healthy while still keeping the level of blonde that I want. I will forever recommend richelle to anyone and everyone I know, she's the best! And the girls at 505 were all super sweet and friendly! 10/10 read more

505 Salon - blonde balayage with richelle anderton - Hair Salons Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Beware!!! The owner is completely unreasonable! I had been told by three people to go see Kaci at 505 salon who I am sure is absolutely amazing because she is booked solid for months out and I am so sad I could not see her! Long story: I contacted the salon to book an appt and because Kaci was booked so far out it was suggested that I see Anela. Later, I got cold feet (because she seemed fairly new) and booked an appt. with Kaci. I then called the salon to discuss further which stylist to go with because I was now considering extensions and the salon owner, Therese (aka Psycho), answered and told me she happened to have an opening the next day and to come on in! She colored my hair and ordered extensions which she applied that same week. I was happy with the results and booked another appt with her 6 weeks out and she told me she cancelled all other appointments with the other stylists. Unfortunately, 3 weeks later I was charged a "no-show" fee because she failed to cancel my appointments with her other employees. Furthermore, Therese failed to gather any of my contact info so the salon could not contact me at all, they just charged my credit card! What I anticipated would be a simple conversation regarding a small mix up ended up being a very awkward and interesting conversation with Therese where she claimed she could not have known I wanted her to cancel my appt with Anela 3 weeks after my appt with her. Considering I was now Therese's client and had already paid her over $800 for highlights, extensions, and products I was absolutely flabbergasted that this salon owner was so defensive and initially refused to reimburse me. It was not until I told her I would contact my credit card company that she agreed to reimburse me. It's unfortunate when we run into people like Therese who conduct business so poorly and treat people so inhumane. While what happened to me is terrible, I believe the worst part is she stole business from her own employees who she should be encouraging and supporting. I asked Therese if I could speak to Anela personally and she refused. Later, I received a text from Therese saying she was canceling all of my future appts, including my children's appts with another new stylist, Samantha. Now I am just mostly sad that I was never able to have my hair done by Kaci and I have these tape-in extensions that will need maintenance in a few weeks a good extension specialist is difficult to find! Take it from me, if you want a good hair stylist that is also a good person don't go to Therese De Vos!! read more

After having a salon for 10+ years in NYC, I had high standards and had been spoiled. My first try was a salon that had seemingly decent reviews in Manhattan Beach, I was scared to try again and discouraged. Enter Salon 505. I am sooooo happy to have found this place! I got a fantastic cut - I have long hair and Therese added so much life to it while keeping it at a great length. Next I spruced up my color- and LOVE IT. It turned out to be such a great color! I got a partial done , I'm a brunette and Kayla did such a great job at adding beautiful honey hues that look so natural and blend perfectly. I have found a new salon home, I can't wait for my next visit! Great customer care, pretty salon, and top notch skills read more

Go to Lexy Olms! Not only is she an amazing hairdresser, she is an amazing person! My mom was always my hairdresser and was educated and worked at a prestigious salon. She moved away, and I wouldn't let ANYONE touch my hair after a bad experience 4 years ago, and finally decided to give it another try with Lexy. She did an incredible job, like better than my mom! (Sorry mom..) Flash forward a few months, I just texted her to reschedule my second cut with her. I have a very sick puppy who might not make it. She's been the sweetest thing responding to me and offering me support all day! If you're a dog lover and picky about your hair, Lexy is your girl. read more

Some how this salon got a hold of my phone number and is sending fear mongering text messages about Coronavirus 19 to me. So unprofessional and really inappropriate.

I've been going to Cailey for 5 years now and no one has ever done my hair better! I've sent so many friends to her and have trusted her with many hair changes (lengths, colors, even hair trial for my wedding). I love Salon 505 and all the people there! They are very welcoming and I always walk out feeling refreshed and confident. The salon is clean, beautiful, and everyone that works there is so professional and sweet. read more

Don't waste your money or time in this place! It's overpriced and you'll not get what you ask for. Don't book with the new hair stylists.

Visited salon 505 my last two salon visits and left so so happy! My lovely hair stylist Kayla Wagner is AMAZING. Going from dark hair to the blonde i desired isn't easy but she killed it every time! Everyone go to Kayla for your hair goals!! read more

Two friends referred me to one of the hairstylists here, but she no longer does mens cuts so the salon referred me to another stylist. I came in yesterday for my appointment and told the stylist how I had been growing out my hair for over a year. I said I wanted to keep the length and overall look, I just needed a light trim to clean things up, and have the sides taken in a bit (my hair was not originally cut to grow out long so it was looking funny in places). She starts cutting, and after a few minutes, I realize she's cut off nearly 7 months of length in the back - my stomach dropped. Despite explicitly telling her I wanted to keep the length in the back, she took the shears and went to town. At that point, my hair was ruined. So then she moved to the sides and top, but proceeded to barely cut anything off there, giving me the weirdest haircut I never asked for. I told her to take the sides and top down a little more to try to salvage things and give me back the shape I was looking for, but in all honesty, I did not trust her to do a good job at that point based on how she cut the rest of my hair. When all was finished, I ended up with a male pixie cut and the most disappointment I've felt in a long time. Ultimately, I paid $80 with tip for one of the worst haircuts I've gotten in my life, all while having 7 months worth of growth gone in an instant. The only pleasant thing about this experience was the hairstylist herself; she was very, very sweet (hence the 2 stars). Men should stay away from this salon. read more

I live in Chicago and I fly to LA just so I can get my hair done by Kaci! Even in Chicago, where there are tons of salons, I just can't find anyone who gets my hair right. The level of expertise and the level of service are among the best and the prices are great too! I'm happy to pay whatever they charge because I never leave without being over the moon about my hair. Kaci is the best for my blonde hair and she works with so many other people who work on camera that she just gets what you're going for. Can not recommend enough! read more

Therese started 505 Salon in Hermosa Beach in April 2018. The new salon is bigger and brighter. I love all the girls at the salon especially Therese and Blair.

Brittanie Hawley has been doing my hair since I moved to the LA area six years ago, and I leave her chair feeling amazing every. single. time. Every appointment we talk through exactly what I have in mind. She is so sweet and patient and hypes me up. We will talk through everything which I really appreciate. I've played around in blonde to red highlights (I'm natural brunette) and warm/cool tones while always keeping my low-maintenance (aka mom) lifestyle in mind. Brittanie is an absolute gem and talented in her craft -- I highly recommend her haircut & color services. read more

I was quoted for a gloss, my stylist Andrea said I did not need permanent color. She also added that gloss was cheaper and recommended it for my hair. I liked the outcome however, when I checked out she told the receptionist she did full color and charged me $250. I had the receptionist check again because she told me she did gloss and he came back saying she said to charge me for full color. She completely lied to my face, told me one thing and did another. I do not recommend this place, it's also way overpriced. What a scam! read more

LOVE THIS SALON!! Backstory... The person who had been cutting my hair moved to Vegas so I had to find someone new. I live in Torrance and found a place on Yelp with good reviews. Unfortunately, the guy who did my hair messed it up pretty bad so I was on the hunt again not only looking for a new hair stylist but also one who can correct a bad cut. I work by the Hermosa Hotel so this time around I yelped salons in Hermosa and 505 Salon popped up. They had great reviews but I was apprehensive because of the previous experience. When I called to set up the appointment the girl who answered the phone (I'm sorry I forgot her name) was very sweet and listened to my whole story without rushing me. She said she had the perfect person and booked me with Lexy. Lexy is AH-MAZING!! Not only was she able to correct the cut but she offered to add in a couple of extensions that she just so happened to have (and that happened to match my hair...what are the chances?) to fill in the hole that the previous guy had into my hair. AND she didn't even charge me for it- so nice!!! She really knows what she's doing and she's very, very sweet. The salon is also super cute and bright and happy. They had fun music playing and the staff was laughing and joking around - seems like a great environment. Thanks so much Lexy and 505 Salon! I'll be back!! xo Kati read more

Michael is absolutely amazing! It was over two years that I had gone to get my hair dyed, but for my wedding, I had to get my hair done by the best of the best. It was the best decision I ever made because Michael had me walking out of the salon with a strut. He is very detail oriented, efficient, talented, he is everything and more. My hair was definitely a challenge and Michael took on the challenge and wow, I am still speechless with the outcome. Thank you, Michael for making me look amazing! read more
