    I had an amazing experience with Janelle. I've struggled with taking care of and styling my hair for as long as I can remember. My hair is fine but wavy/curly, and whenever I tried to wear it natural, it would look frizzy/dry. For years, I avoided doing curly hair routines by constantly getting Brazilian blowouts and straightening my hair at home once they started to fade. Janelle made me feel so comfortable and was incredibly knowledgeable about wavy and curly hair textures. She took the time to assess the health of my hair, listen to my goals, and look through the pictures I provided to show what I wanted to achieve. Before we got started, she explained everything clearly so that I felt comfortable. She shared her knowledge and showed me how to properly care for and style my hair at home. I was so incredibly happy and grateful that I booked my appointment with her when I saw the end result. My hair feels healthy, looked beautiful after the appointment, and she brought out the curls/waves I've always wanted. I highly recommend going to her if you have wavy or curly hair. Thank you so much, Janelle!

    My mom and I were loyal customers for 10+ years, but will never return to Aveda Vicara Salon. Things started to go downhill after Victor, our beloved and talented stylist, passed away. Since then, my mom has seen and experienced the following: - horrible customer service - rude, pretentious employees - unfair billing practices - gaslighting - bullying - insensitivity - incompetence Shame on Aveda Vicara Salon for mistreating loyal clients while we were grieving. I hope Victor's other former clients have moved on to better salons, like we have.

    I have naturally curly hair, do you have stylist who know how to cut natural curly hair?

    I have dredlocs, looking to get them cut and layered. Do you have stylist that are good with cutting ethnic hair, but also knowledgeable with cutting locs?

    Yes, we do have individual stylists who are experienced with ethnic hair. However at this time I am unsure which of those stylists have experience with dreadlocks. If you would like, please call the salon at 310-322-6454 so we can better assist you.

    Do you guys offer Lash lift as part of your service for eyelashes? Ive tried asking 2 days ago but no one has answered.

    I've gotten them twice here!

    Does this salon use the Aveda color lines?

    Hi Stephanie! Yes, we are an Aveda lifestyle salon and we use Aveda color lines. Hope to see you soon!

    Susan's facial is truly wonderful and her positive energy adds so much to the experience. I had an…read more80 minute facial and it was one of the most relaxing treatments I've had in a long time. The facial focused on detoxifying the face using a jade gua sha technique, which noticeably reduced puffiness and inflammation. The ear lymphatic drainage was a unique touch that made a visible difference. The session also included a relaxing hand, shoulder, neck, and foot massage. Susan uses Murad products and my skin felt refreshed and radiant afterward. The heated bed was incredibly comfortable and the private setting made the experience even more restorative. Extractions were gentle, so if you're looking for something more aggressive with a lancet or needle, this may not be the place. But for a soothing, high quality facial with real results, this is a standout.

    [Review #688] 2022 Yelp 100 Challenge (9/100)…read more I've been a client of Susan Halpern since 2014 when she worked at Murad Inclusive Health Spa (refer to Review #111) where I first started my recurring monthly facial treatments in 2002. I lost touch with Susan after the spa closed, & it took me another 5 years to find & reconnect as a client of Forever Young By Susan in 11/2020. Her "studio" is located in The Face Place & More Skin & Body Care, sharing the space with Linda Hirsch, Cloud 9 Massage, SkinFX, & Advanced Skincare By Marilyn. Services include anti-aging/acne facials (Luminesce, Acne Complex, Sun Undone, Resurgence, Back, Youth Building, Chinese Gua Sha, AHA Rapid Exfoliator, Men's) & waxing (Chin/Lip/Sideburns, Brow/Underarm, Traditional Bikini, Playboy Bikini, 1/2 Leg, Full Leg/Back/Chest). The facials are customized to client's needs & 50+ min. facials include additional services. I used to alternate between Luminesce, AHA Rapid Exfoliator, & Resurgence as a Murad client. Since reconnecting, I've been booking the CHINESE FACIAL GUA SHA (detoxification of face, neck, & shoulders with special jade gua sha technique; combats aging, reduces inflammation & puffy eyes, decreases pore sizes, help speed up cell regeneration, reduces stress) on a monthly basis to clean my face healthy & glowing. The daily life workload & stress, in addition to COVID-19, I really need this monthly getaway, even if it's just a small fraction of time. I'm usually just on time or a couple minutes behind, Susan always opens & greets me at the door with a smile (a huge + in my book that I'm not delayed because that cuts into my paid time)! =) The space is private -- just us -- but I always wear my mask & make sure I'm healthy before going even if we're vaccinated & boosted, & there's a temperature check at the entrance. The intimate room is clean & well-organized with dimmed lighting, comfy & warm bed, & relaxing background music to promote a serene & zen treatment. Before starting, Susan did a thorough analysis (to make sure this is the best facial for my current needs). As mentioned in the previous review, a good esthetician should recommend a different method than your standard MO because your skin changes with age, sun exposure/the elements, etc. Susan ALWAYS does just that at each appointment, adjusting the technique, timing of each process, etc. And if you're a new client, she explains what product & process in each step. At times, I don't even have to point out the problem areas because she spots these changes under the magnifying glass & adjust the treatment to rebalance & rejuvenate my skin. Sometimes Susan focuses more on my face, & other times when I'm rather stressed/tensed, she spends a little more time on the mini massage to remove the kinks & knots in my shoulders & neck. I'm highly sensitive to touch (= extremely ticklish), yet she skillfully maneuvers over these stress points with ease without my breaking out into delirious laughter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Only 1 other professional, Francine (also from defunct Murad), was able to give me a massage without me squealing or squirming. Under Susan's proficient care & deft hands, the extraction process was minimal in discomfort that I can nap through the facial process when I'm tired. Most recently, I've been awake through my facials to chat in Cantonese. It's so nice to find someone who can speak the language so I can strengthen my Chinese roots, help me with common idioms & phrases, etc., bond over upbringing & familial care, etc. =) Comfort, quality, & care is what Forever Young By Susan is all about. Susan incorporates Eastern & Western techniques to detox & take care of the my skin issues that leaves me with dewy, glowing skin! I highly recommend Susan for your facial treatments. So sit back & relax... you're definitely in good hands (pun intended). ;-)

    I recently visited Nail Garden in Redondo Beach a little over a week ago while on vacation in…read moreCalifornia.overall my experience was mixed. The location is great and very convenient, especially if you're spending time near the beach. The salon itself was clean, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The service felt welcoming, and I appreciated how accommodating everyone was. However, the appointment took much longer than expected, particularly for a dip manicure. What should have been a fairly standard service ended up being quite time-consuming, which was a bit frustrating. Unfortunately, the biggest issue has been the quality of the dip manicure. After just one week, my nails are in really poor condition -- the polish is cracking and chipping, and my natural nails are starting to split. For the price, I expected much better durability and overall results. I was also surprised that there were no massage chairs, especially given the higher cost of services. It felt like an important detail was missing from what should have been a more premium experience. Overall, while the location and customer service were positives, the long service time and disappointing quality of the dip manicure make it hard to justify the price.Now, I need to have my nails redone in my home state.

During a job deployment, I went to a different waxer in a different state. Yeah, I am sticking to the best. From missing hair to using cheap hard wax, other waxers/studios just miss the mark. Let's jump right into this review. Brazilian Studio is located in the South Bay area off of Artesia Blvd, few blocks from Hawthorne Blvd. What waxing do I get - Brazilian :) Pros 1. Professional. Personable. Fast. Reasonable. Knowledgeable. Erika knows what she is doing and does it well. 2. Variety of areas you can get waxed. Brazilian (check), arms (check), legs (check), underarms (check). You want to be hairless, Brazilian Studio is here for all your hairless desires. 3. Free parking in the back of the studio. Metered street parking available as well. 4. Erika is always on time. In the five plus years I have been coming to her, I have waited 3 to 5 minutes twice as she finished up with a client. Golden stamp for punctuality. 5. She gets you smooth like a baby's bottom. 6. She communicates effectively. If you can't get an appointment on-line she is receptive and responsive to texts/calls. No cons. Except, she stays booked and busy but that is a testament to her work ethic and product, your hairless body areas. I am a loyal, repeat customer. I just don't want her to retire.
