    Working with Kat and the team at Absolutely Beautiful was such a dream. I felt like a Disney princess while I was on her chair. I seriously have nothing but praises for Kat, Eri, and Jasmine. My bridal party loved their hair and make up on my wedding. They made each bridesmaid, maid of honor, parents of the bride feel so pretty and cared for. They are absolute masters of the craft. I personally have no experience with using make up or doing my hair and Kat was absolutely magical. My make up didn't run when I cried and by the end of the night it looked just like it did when she applied it at 10:00 am. Also my hair is very straight and flat and somehow Kat worked her magic and my curls last all night long. She also stayed for the ceremony to do touch up on me and my wife throughout the evening and I cannot sing her enough praises. I am so thankful that I found Absolutely Beautiful and Kat because I don't think I would've looked half as good if she wasn't my hair and make up artist. And even before the wedding I kept having to add on people to the list of who needed hair and make up on my wedding day and Kat was so accommodating and everytime I would apologize she welcomed the challenge of having move people to do. If you're looking for a hair and make up team for your special events I cannot help but recommend this wonderful group of ladies over and over again. Trust me when I say you will not regret it, this would be your best choice hands down. Thank you again Kat for everything you did for us!!

    kat's hair & makeup magic!

    I cant express enough how amazing Kat and her whole team are not only from a talent & professional perspective but also just the exact kind of people/energy you want around you on your big day. They really take the time to understand what you're going for and executed flawlessly. They are all a joy to work with and i wish I was getting married again to be able to hang out and get glammed up by them again!!!

    (I have no idea why there's so few reviews on here!! Go over to The Knot, there's lots over there lol) I physically cannot recommend Kat for your hair and makeup wedding needs enough. I am a picky as hell natural blonde who doesn't know how to describe what I want and somehow Kat took all of that and turned it into magic!! I wanted "my face but better glam" (so helpful I'm sure) - I wanted to look like the best version of me. Kat took so much time with me for our trial, tried multiple things, and helped me figure out what I wanted. Not only that, she has the most wonderful calm energy - just so totally zen in an area of your life where you're already freaking out - it was absolutely priceless. She made me look better than I knew I could. She gave my mom her first ever professional hair and makeup and I think my mom cried when she needed to take it off, lol. She made my natural-inclined bridesmaid look incredible, helped my glamorous matron of honor get the zhuzh she was hoping for, and even helped my brother (and man of honor) with his complexion and brows so he'd look as polished as the rest of us. All the while she was just so kind and good natured with us - absolutely worth every penny. The prices are SOO reasonable (you know how insane it can be, since you're here reading reviews) and honestly I looked the same at 1am as I did when she finished my makeup at 4pm. It was like magic. I hope I have something fancy again sometime soon, because Kat is officially stuck doing my makeup forever and ever. If you're still reading this - I obviously cannot recommend Kat enough!!

    Kat and her team were so absolutely incredible! First, she really took the time to make sure that I looked good and felt amazing (I really don't know too much about makeup and hair, so her help here was so appreciated). Her team was professional and kind and kept us on time (we did my bridal hair and makeup + hair & makeup for 7 bridesmaids plus my mom). Everyone looked beautiful! Lastly, I danced SO HARD at my wedding and my makeup and hair still looked so good at the end of the night. Idk what magic Kat worked to keep me from looking like a swamp witch by the end of the night but I literally couldn't recommend her more!

I was looking for a barber that knows how to cut Asian hair and I found exactly that. He's an absolute master with scissors and knows exactly how to work with the type of hair you have. He recommended some product that's more specific to my hair type and buying it at their store was $10 cheaper than buying it online. Great place with great barbers, I'll definitely be coming back once I need another cut!

But when he asked me what hair cut I wanted and showed him a picture of a burst fade Mohawk and he proceeded to ask have you had this haircut before. Then I showed him a picture of me with the haircut I wanted (which was a burst fade Mohawk) and he proceeded to say "is that really you". This was at the beginning of the hair cut. Mid way he asked a second time if I had ever had this hair cut before which I answered yes. Also at the beginning he had mentioned how much are we taking off the top. I mentioned just a little bit and we can work our way down. When it came to cutting the top I feel he had gone too low. At that point I just wanted to get out of the chair. I waited 2 days to post this just to see if my hair needed to settle in since I went from a wild lions mane to what ever this short hair cut I have now. But no matter how much I attempt to style my hair it just looks dumb. My feedback to Hin is if you aren't confident in cutting someone's hair then please just say so. Or if your specialty is clean cuts then tell your client so they can make the decision of sitting in the chair. I may come back to try with someone else to cut my hair since I feel the people here have some skill.

At my appointment, Kaz started with a wash and then spent a solid 40-60 minutes on the cut. He's super detailed. It felt like he was paying attention to every single strand. I love how it turned out.!!! After washing, my hair just falls into place naturally. I barely have to style it...just brush and go.

Yuji was my hairdresser, and he was so kind, precise, and skilled with my haircut. When I first walked in, I thought, "ah this really is a no frills hair salon," and I'll admit I was a little nervous since it was my first time and I didn't know what to expect. As soon as I sat down, my nerves went away. Yuji was so gentle and attentive, and I felt really well taken care of. My appointment lasted about an hour and included a wash and cut. Parking is validated for up to two hours, which is definitely enough time. I was so happy with my results. I truly don't know how Yuji creates such magic with his hands! I'll be coming here from now on for my haircuts. Please show Yuji and Hair Craft your support by leaving a generous tip. An establishment like this that truly gives you high quality results for such a generous price deserves to be met with gratitude and good tips. Too many salons are charging an arm and a leg for a basic trim these days, and Hair Craft is not one of them. There were only 1-2 stylists working during my visit, so please be patient and make sure to book at least three weeks in advance. When I booked, they were already scheduled out for three weeks, and I overheard them telling other callers the same thing. Thankfully, it was absolutely worth the wait. I can't wait to come back and will definitely be booking with Yuji again. Thank you Hair Craft for such a wonderful experience!!!

As soon as I arrived, I was warmly greeted and given a locker to securely store my belongings, which I really appreciated.

Throughout the visit, the attention to detail stood out--there was a variety of complimentary drinks offered along with a small cookie, which was such a thoughtful and welcoming touch. Kyunghee took the time to listen to what I wanted. I asked for curtain bangs and long layers, and she absolutely delivered. The cut was exactly to my liking--soft, flattering, and very well balanced. After styling my hair, she came back to do a final trim and made sure to check in to see if I was completely satisfied, which made me feel really cared for as a client. Overall, the service felt elevated, professional, and personal. I left feeling confident and happy with my hair, and I will definitely be back again soon!

I spent years growing my hair to be healthy & strong, & I have ended up with fried hair that I have had to slowly nurse back to even halfway health. Come here if you want to be ignored, gaslighted, & end up with completely damaged, ruined hair. I do NOT recommend this salon for Black women / women of color / curly textures. This is long so buckle up. I originally reached out for a simple color service & was referred to Aly. I came in for a consultation and after an hour, she told me to continue texting her ideas so that we could figure the look out together. She then proceeded to mostly ignore me, & when she did respond, she sent photos of basic results nowhere near what we had discussed. Frustrated, I decided to come back in to just get my test strand toned back. She didn't even care to respond, just passed me off to the front desk. When I came back, I was asked if I wanted to consult with another stylist, Daniel, known for being "great with color." I have dark brown hair, & he assured me the cinnamon red look I wanted was achievable. In retrospect, having now lost my long & super healthy hair, still recovering from excessive chemical damage 10 months later, I WISH I had just walked out the door. For context, I had healthy, fine hair in long layers, anywhere from 2A-2C mixed wavy/curly textures, with length about an inch past my bust. I had defined curls, shine, & softness, & barely heat styled. Daniel lightened my hair with a low volume (supposedly) bleach & put a heat lamp on it. The heat lamp was so close to my hair that I moved at one point & it melted the plastic hair cap. After, I noticed my wet hair felt dry & tangled when he was combing, but I was trusting the process. When he started blowing out, my hair was WAY too blond & visibly dry. We had to tone it again. After another toner & cutting layers - 8 hours later - the result was pretty but felt parched, & also was not what we'd discussed color-wise. I was headed out of town the next day, so he promised to tone me when I was back & I trusted him. Fast forward - I shampoo my hair on vacation. My hair is GUMMY, breaking & pulling out in clumps. I can't stop crying. My super healthy hair that I could run my fingers through whirl wet was now inexplicably matted & dry, to the point I couldn't even work shampoo in properly. My curl pattern was DESTROYED. I reached out to Daniel & he put me in touch with the salon owner, saying my hair seemed "healthy" condition when I'd left. When I got back to LA, he did a deep conditioning treatment & a keratin treatment on the house, which helped somewhat. He also cut a few more inches off due to the damage - mind you, we had originally discussed that retaining my length was extremely important to me. He said to come back in 2 weeks for the toner to achieve the final color I'd requested. Traveling again, I got a simple wash & set at a local salon bc at this point, I couldn't even manage my hair on my own anymore on a day-to-day basis. Again, I do not do chemical treatments. The stylist told me I had intense chemical damage & chemically burned hair. I ended up having to cut off more, leaving my hair a little past shoulder length. I reached out to Daniel letting him know about the chemical damage; at this point, he said because I'd gone to another stylist he "couldn't service my hair anymore." He wrote a long text where he falsely asserted my hair was in healthy condition when I'd left & that it'd been too long since the service for him to help. Like...what? I had sent numerous pics & videos of the matting, shedding, gummy clumps of hair to both you & the salon owner & you're going to try & gaslight me? You told me to come back later! For him to try & rewrite history was extremely disappointing, & I lost all respect for him. Given his lack of integrity, I cut my losses, blocked, & decided not to argue about it further. I had to cut my hair a third time into a shoulder length bob. Now, 10 months later, I've been able to grow my hair a few inches with consistent trims, conditioning treatments, & protective styles, but it is still so hard to manage. My curl pattern has not returned to normal. At this point, I am STRONGLY considering a big chop, which was the worst possible scenario IMO. I will have to start over & spend the next few years growing back all the hair I've lost & restoring it to the health that I had before I ever stepped foot in this salon. I have spent 100s of dollars on bond building & reparative products, as well as follow up visits at other salons. On top of that, the immense stress & anxiety of losing my beautiful & healthy hair for what should've been a simple service was extremely, extraordinarily depressing. If you made it this far, do yourself and the health of your hair a huge favor and GO ANYWHERE ELSE.

While I'm happy with how my perm turned out, the salon was overbooked. I completely understand stylists working with other clients while hair is processing, but my digital perm took about 6 hours, with a lot of waiting when I was clearly ready for the next step because my stylist was occupied with other clients. He was called on by the front desk at least 3 times that new/different clients were ready for him. My friend and I were both there for over six hours--surprisingly, her full highlights took even longer. I was also confused by the pricing. During the consultation, I was told that a certain hair length would put the perm at around $400, while keeping the length I wanted would make it closer to $600. That was already surprising considering it was only about a 2-inch difference in length for roughly $200 more. But then my hair was cut to approximately the shorter length anyway, and my final price was still $550. I'm not really sure how the pricing was calculated based on that. My friend's highlights were $500, even though her hair is shorter than mine, and her hair ended up looking surprisingly similar to how it did before. Between both of our services, the pricing felt very high for the overall experience. I do want to emphasize that I'm satisfied with how my perm looks and appreciated the care my stylist took while he was actually working with me. Unfortunately, between the six-hour appointment, the amount of waiting, and the price, I'm not sure the experience was worth it for me.
