I can't say enough about my experience at this quaint salon with its charming 70s inspired décor. I had an appointment with Ashley for what I thought would be just a trim, but she truly took her time and was incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire appointment. She listened, offered knowledgeable recommendations, and made sure every detail was right. My hair is naturally very curly, but I also wear it straight often, which means it needs more than a standard haircut and Ashley completely understood that. The result is a cut that works beautifully both ways. I absolutely love it and will definitely be back. Highly recommend Ashley if you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your hair and the outcome. read more

Charli took me in on a busy Saturday and truly saved the day after my awful DIY haircut. She was incredibly kind, patient, and informative throughout the whole process. I felt really comfortable in her chair, and she took the time to walk me through what she was doing. I absolutely love how my hair turned out--it looks so much healthier and beautifully shaped. The salon itself is very cute and has such good vibes. I'll definitely be coming back for other services. Highly recommend! read more

I've been coming to Vanessa for 10 years. She's always been so welcoming along with all the girls in this studio. Vanessa has transformed my hair from blonde to copper this last time. She pays attention to my needs and explains what will work for me in the long run. I feel confident coming here knowing that they use great products that keep my hair feeling healthy. I recommend anyone to give this place a try, specially since it's owned by Latina Women. read more

I've gotten a few haircuts here - the first was good, the second was okay, and the third was incredibly subpar. The stylists have all been very kind, but I have very long hair and I feel that with my two most recent cuts, the stylists didn't really know how to work with my length. In particular, my most recent stylist (Elizabeth) was not realistic with what she could do for me. This most recent cut butchered my hair, I could even tell SHE didn't like the result when she was done, she was almost even apologetic because she knew it looked nothing like what I asked for. My resulting cut did not look well blended at all, there was a very blunt divide in my layers which was not at all what I asked for. I wish she had the foresight to know that would happen with my length and what I had asked for. That's what I come to the salon for - stylist expertise. The cuts are very pricey - I come here because I love supporting a Latina business but I think they have missed the mark when it comes to cutting and styling my hip length, straight hair. Additionally, when I got my most recent cut, I called and *specifically* asked for someone that could work with very long hair. I chatted with Elizabeth and specified the type of cut I wanted. At my appointment, she makes a comment about being "afraid to cut long hair" (which I understand, people with long hair tend to care about their length a lot) - but why did I specifically ask for a stylist who is skilled with long hair and have my stylist essentially saying she's not very confident with long hair? I'm incredibly disappointed. My hair was butchered and I'm so upset I paid $140 for something worse than I've gotten at supercuts. Elizabeth absolutely missed the mark with my cut. Aside from it just looking bad, she was like 20 minutes late to my appointment and was rushing me at the end to squeeze in last minute nail appointment (I overheard, it's not a big salon lol) At the end of my cut, Elizabeth did offer to adjust anything I didn't like if I came back but I'm seriously afraid to let her touch my hair again. I will not be coming back here, and if you also have very long hair, I would urge you to go elsewhere. read more

Lydia and Ashley are amazing, me and my two best friends have been going to the two of them for over a decade. What I love about their hair cuts is that they grow out nicely, so I only need to go in three times a year. They are also both very knowledgeable about color and different hair styles and have helped me create some very interesting and note worthy looks. read more

Stopped in for a trim. Called ahead and they fit me in their tight schedule. Friendly phone service and even friendlier and professional service on site. The salon is gorgeous, clean, organized and very stylish. Very suited and becoming of the service I received. I definitely will be back and recommend them. read more

I'm so behind in this review, but I just want to say that Elizabeth is AMAZING! She did my best friend's wedding hair and makeup and mine as well. She was so sweet and she made my bestie look absolutely gorgeous. We were so happy to find Beauty Box because not only was it less than two miles away from the venue, the prices we super affordable and the quality was stellar. My bestie was very happy with her look and I loved what she did with mine. More importantly, my bestie got married on one the most humid day ever and our makeup and hair was in tact as we were running around and sweating before the ceremony. I will definitely keep Beauty Box in mind if I ever need special event or hair done. read more

I've been searching everywhere for a good hair salon where I can fully trust the stylist to get myself some pretty hair. Through my friend's recommendation, I decided to check this place out. I went to the stylist with a hairstyle in mind and as I showed the picture to her she ended up cutting it even better than the picture. She also styled it at the end and it was beautiful! I love the layers and textures, it's giving luxury. Would recommend!! read more

Hair by Vanessa at Beauty Box. I have been going to Beauty Box for 10-plus years. Not only is Vanessa an amazing hair dresser, but she's an amazing person that I can call my friend. She knows exactly what I want, and I walk out feeling great. I can honestly say that I can sit in any of the girls's chair and trust that each will do an amazing job with my hair. These ladies are all amazing, and I highly recommend this salon. As soon as I walk in, I'm greeted with smiles and so much love. They're all super friendly, funny & easy to talk to. They listen to your needs. It's so chic and relaxing the minute you walk in. They offer drinks and make you feel at home. I absolutely love them and how they treat their customers and not to mention their talent!! 10 stars!! read more

The high ratings of this place made me choose it over other local nail salons. I'm high maintenance when it comes to my food, hair, and nails. I have long natural nails and baby them the best I can. I'll just list the pros and cons. Pros: - They seem to have same day availability. I made an appointment and called to see if anything opened up for the same day, and there was an opening. - The salon is clean. - The staff are friendly and personable. They also all speak English. - They have a great selection of Shellac products. - They have a lot of CND products in general for your manicure/pedicure. - They have displays of design ideas for your Shellac experience. - They offer refreshments. - They offer to fix their mistakes for free. Cons: - They push the Shellac - The Shellac designs are executed beautiful at first, then flaws emerge (pigments dissappear from edges two days later somehow). - Shellac application doesn't stay/has issues. After two days one nail started to peel and another had a bubble (see photos uploaded for reference). I didn't do dishes or any strenuous activities. - Normal polish application is iffy and they seem unprepared for it (no normal dryers besides uv ones). - My cuticle was nicked and went unmentioned even when I went back for the fix and normal polish. - I was told about lumps appearing in long nails while having lumpy polish work applied. I know my nails are smooth with the exception of a gel fix on one. Overall the ladies here seem like sweethearts and are probably really great with hair, and short nails. But for long natural nails, I'm okay continuing to shop around for LA nail salons. $47 was just a bit too steep for what my nails went through. *My manicure and both polish applications were by Ashley. read more

Elizabeth was fantastic- I had an outdoor wedding on a warm humid fall day (in 2022) and our hair and makeup held up fabulously throughout the entire event. She worked some serious magic! Thank you to her and the entire Beauty Box team (who help schedule us 3 ladies and were very sweet while we were there)! read more

Nice place and was excited to try it out, but overpaid to get my hair butchered I had extra long hair and asked for mid back still long enough to reach the back of my bra what I got was a shoulder length bob I wanted to cry she just kept cutting more and more. I paid more than $80 to have my hair ruin and now all I can do is wait. And the sad part is I kept telling her as she kept cutting more that i want it long enough to put it in a bun still and she just did what she wanted and It's Not Even. Will NEVER GO HERE AGAIN!!!!!! read more

I have been coming to Beauty Box for 7 years now! All the girls are amazingly talented. Ashley is my color genius. The nail work is on point. And now the eyebrows! Vanessa just finished my micro-feathering and I couldn't be more satisfied. I had sparse, barely there brows before and now they look full and natural and have a perfect shape. It's cut 5 minutes off my morning routine. This salon is a real gem. read more

Vanessa (the owner) is amazing! I went in for the first time and she squeezed me in even though she had a tight schedule. I expressed my concerns and let her know that im very picky with who does my hair. We clicked and she understood exactly what I wanted. I went back for color and she nailed it! Thanks Vanessa read more

Went in for eyebrow micro blading and eyelash extensions with Angelina. She was wonderful. Everything was quick and painless (I mean that literally). I think I almost fell asleep a few times in her chair. I told her to do what she thought would be best (which can be a big risk on my part, but not with her!!) and I couldn't be happier with my results. Would definitely recommend her as well as this salon because I am not joking when I say it was CHIC AF. From the natural light in the space to the decor to the women working there, Beauty Box is goals. You've earned yourself a customer who can't wait for a reason to return! read more

I recently called the salon to ask for the services available. I've been a native to Lincoln Heights and I wanted to help local businesses. I was excited and happy to look forward to booking an appointment for my mother and I, but to my dismay, the person who answered the phone was obscenely rude! I still held my composure, yet she talked to me in a belittling manner. They ought to hire better people with customers service. My experience was horrible considering the fact that I was greeted in a horrible manner. If you're looking to have a great time on being pampered, I recommend you check out another place. read more

Carolina is amazing! This picture is 3 months since my last appointment with her and I still absolutely love my hair. I always ask for a low maintenance dew cause I'm a very busy mommy. The haircut, the color...all is perfect (including her patience with my huge head of hair) read more

I walked in to this salon today not knowing what I wanted. I was greeted by the friendliest stylists ! I sat down in Elizabeth's chair, and my hair is super thankful for that. I wasn't too sure what I wanted to do with my hair and I let liz work her magic! I was scared of short hair but I loved it ! She made sure my hair was brought back to life! Definitely recommending her and this salon ! The atmosphere was very chill and laid back. read more

First time at the new beautiful bright location. I very easy to find and tons of free parking! Love the gorgeous interior and open space. Had the pleasure of getting a bbglow by Angelina. I was extremely nervous but Angelina put me at ease, explaining each step and I'm in love with my glow. I feel like I have instant results at my first session. read more

I was long overdue for a haircut and looking to try a new place and happily came across Beauty Box in Echo Park. I arrived a few minutes before my appointment at 3:30 p.m., was warmly greeted by the staff and didn't have to wait. My new hairstylist, Lydia, was friendly, asked several questions to determine the right cut for my lifestyle and hair type and gave some expert suggestions to make my hair looks its best. She told me about the assorted products she used on my hair- they carry a beautifully packaged, natural brand called R&Co- then deftly cut soft layers and cleaned up the ends. I love that the cut is just what I wanted and will be easy to maintain. The salon also does nails, but is well-ventilated and I didn't smell even a hint of polish or chemical fumes during my visit. Free parking was easy to find just up the street right on Sunset Blvd. and they have a small lot in the strip mall where they are located. My haircut & style, plus R&Co Prep Spray purchase (around $24 I think) totaled around $95. read more

Patient,perfecting, fun and professional. Vanessa (colorist) & Staff are such a great team. Not only is the vibe in the salon reminiscent of a casual hang out with friends, but the ladies all go out of their way for the client; doesn't matter who's client it is. Before coming in, Vanessa collaborated with me on what would be best for my Afro Latin medium length hair which is currently dark. In order to go lighter, we would start in phases as the stark transition would take a few attempts or at least we both thought. All i can say is transformative is an understatement. Vanessa literally manage to strike gold on her first attempt. When I say gold, I mean it both literally and figuratively. Just look at those beautiful caramel locks! I'll let the before and after pictures speak for themselves. I have never been this emotional in a good way about my hair. The color looked so good i forgot that i needed to be styled. But then Vanessa took it to the next level and chose all the right product, tools and cut. The cut was so good and the lenght was still there. She briefed me on care and answered my questions. It was sleek, bouncing, -i literally looked younger when i left. It was drastically different without being overtly trendy. Magnificent. read more

I am a makeup artist and hair stylist myself and have very high standards for beauty. The first time I came here, it was for an emergency, I was going to be on tv and needed to get my roots done ASAP. My regular guy was out of town but he recommended Beauty Box. They were able to squeeze me in the same day. Vanessa, the owner took such good care of me, I decided to come back for another root tough up and a hair cut. She does a fantastic job and is really sweet and fun to talk to. The salon is really neat and has an industrial-modern feel, there are interesting and pretty things to notice while you sit in the chair. I'm glad I found this little gem.j read more

Beauty Box - My fresh hair, thanks Vanessa! Xx - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I came here for a haircut for the first time two weeks ago, after my cousin recommended this spot. Parking: There is a small lot with one or two designated Beauty Box spots. There is also metered street parking. I recommend coming 5-10 minutes earlier to make sure you find a parking spot in time for your appointment. Service: Lydia was super prompt, which for me was a nice change compared to my old place. I had some pictures for her for what I was looking for, but also shared with her my struggles as someone with wavy/frizzy, really thick hair. She knew just what to do. My hair is now 5 inches shorter, it's been two weeks since the cut and the new style is still working great. read more

I went to this salon last year to get a haircut by Ashley. I'm way long overdue for a haircut by her! First time going in there I was a bit nervous because anyone who touches a womans hair for the first time is nerve wrecking lol. I went in for a bob haircut and I loved it!!! My hair now is super long so I have to go soon! Parking is ehhhh, luckily I went during the week and probably an hour after they opened and was lucky enough to find a spot at the little parking lot. read more

I recently got my hair cut and colored by Dina as my normal hair stylist, Ashley, is on maternity leave (Congrats!) Dina has done a phenomenal job doing my shellac mani and pedis and this is the first I have had her do my hair. I had asked for a different look with my bangs with an overall layered look along with the same color that Ashley has done on my hair in the past. They have my hair color info saved on their internal computer system. Dina did a great job and I have been receiving multiple complements as to how much younger I look and how great my hair cut came out. Overall, every time I come to this salon, I feel like I am hanging out with my girlfriends and we are all catching up. I see these gals work hard and have fun while making me, their customer, feel the best I can be. A new thing they are doing is proactively booking followup appointments ahead of time which helps keep me on track before I let my roots grow out. I've already booked my next two appointments out for shellac mani and pedi along with a touch-up on my hair color. read more

I'm so, SO glad I found this place through Yelp because Ashley revived my hair and it has life once more! I'm so indecisive when it comes to cuts and tend to want things that won't look good on me/work for my fine hair, but Ashley knew exactly what to do with the sort of style I wanted and gave me so many tips to take home so I can eventually learn styling my hair halfway as perfectly as she did. I'm definitely coming back - they're very kind, personable and hip in here (like, the playlists, they're good)! read more

After moving from the hood and having a baby, I found it hard to make it to/afford Beauty Box. I made do, but recently went back to have Vanessa fix me up. She gifted treatments and suggested I come back for color w/her apprentice. Done. When I went in for my appointment, the apprentice was no longer available. Vanessa was kind enough to take me herself and still charge me the lower fee. I'm so happy with my hair and glad I made it back in to see Vanessa. She's the best with cut and color. Highly recommend Beauty Box Salon!!! read more

I came here for a gel manicure, and it was the worst I've ever gotten. I hesitated to write a negative review because everyone was so nice. But it took 2 hours for a manicure, and it's so uneven and there was shellac all over my fingers. It would've taken longer, but I asked her to stop trimming my cuticles because I had somewhere to be and she already made me bleed once. I was losing my mind she was so slow and inexperienced. But she was kind, so I hate writing this. Then when I checked out it was ridiculously expensive. $55 if I remember correctly. For the worst manicure of my life. The hairstylists seemed to be doing a really good job. Just don't come here for nails. read more

I've been coming here for almost 9 years now (wow!) and Ashley's been cutting my hair the entire time. The beauty box was actually the first time I'd ever tried a professional salon. I walked in the door with long, messy, unstyled hair on my head and asked her to do SOMETHING with it. I didn't even know what! Since then, I've dyed it all sorts of colors and styled it all sorts of ways and have never been bored or unhappy with the result. I got inspired by Ashley's undercut one day, and now I have a different buzz cut every month. Ashley and everyone else who works here are professional, creative, and super friendly. Thanks for taking such good care of my hair! read more

This is a little hair salon situated next to a chinese supermarket and some chic little businesses. Yes, chic is the word to use when you're inside. It's bright but comfortable, and the girls are really nice and accommodating. I got an appointment the same day. +1 After a brief scuffle for parking, ( I was ready to lay one on this old man, right between the eyes, but luckily for him, he was OLD! (and chinese, double whammy. Imagine me yelling at this grandpa and my mom telling me that's her friend's dad!) The salon is beautiful, and my stylist, Erica, did a great job. She was very considerate, listened to what I wanted, and made me feel so pretty. +1 Great customer service. +1 Beautiful salon. +1 Snob factor: 0 read more

I've had my ombre since 2011... long before L'Oreal decided to market ombre coloring in a box (schmeh). If you don't want a botched hair color, find Lydia and she'll do her magic on you. I've only been getting my ombre retouched by Lydia. She colored my hair three times already, and I always love how my hair looks whenever I leave this place. I don't know what she did or how she does it, but I love that my hair is not brassy especially since my hair is really dark. I also really like that Lydia will chat you up while you're getting your hair done. It usually takes about two hours for the whole ombre process to be done, so it's nice that she's so personable and will keep you entertained. I mean can you imagine sitting for two hours in total silence. I'd fall asleep. I've recommended her to everyone and my mom. My mom really loves her hair color. It's a little expensive here, but it's the price you pay for awesome hair. The only bad thing I can say about this place is their teeny parking that they share with other establishments. They have one parking spot for them :(. There's metered parking right in front for two hours, but I'd rather park in a parking spot. read more

It's a rare sight to see a business with a solid five stars out of a plethora of reviews. I knew I had to check the place out, especially since $47 (!!!) for a haircut is totally within my budget. I had Erica (I think! I'm horrible with names, sorry) who smooth talked me into getting an additional conditioning treatment that I was agreeing to before I realized what was happening. I'd like to chalk it up to my tiredness since I normally don't bite add ons like that, but she is one slick talker! And now my hair is super silky smooth so I suppose it wasn't a horrible decision. What was awesome was that they were able to immediately fill me in for an eyebrow wax as I asked halfway through my appointment. I don't recommend trying to find a spot in their parking lot. It's teeny tiny and shared with a few other businesses. I parked at a meter right outside and there's a two hour limit but I was in and out with my hair cut and wax with fifteen minutes to spare. read more

Love this place! I needed to find a new stylist closer to where I live. Came to this place as a recommendation from my cousin. Went to see Lydia and she's awesome! My hair was super dry and brittle at the ends (from a perm I did a year ago). I was in desperate need of a fresh new cut. She helped my hair to looks fresh and healthy again! Great, friendly and professional service! I'm definitely coming back! read more

Erica is the best! I finally found someone to cut my hair and be 100% satisfied. For two years, I have been cutting my own hair because my previous experiences were not good. I started getting a lot of split ends and it was driving me crazy. I used Yelp to research for a hair salon in DTLA. All of them cost around $100 for a haircut. If it cost $100, they should be good, right? I don't know... I got fooled few times and I'm not falling for that again. Instead, I asked my friend and she recommended "beauty box." I made an appointment and went. Erica cut my hair how I wanted it. Best decision this year! I know where to go now. read more
