She definitely is a pro, and it's so clear that she has tons of experience with hair. My hair is a few inches past my shoulders with some new extensions, and Fiona did an amazing job and finished my shampoo and blowout in like 40 min! The Salon she works out of is also very clean and pretty cute. Thank you Fiona! Will definitely return back for weekly blowouts as my stylist is in West Hollywood and it's a bit of a commute for a blowout. Highly recommend her!!!

I originally wanted to book with him, but I don't think he was available, so Kenji did my hair instead. I was honestly nervous at first because I have extremely long hair, but WOW my experience was amazing. Kenji paid so much attention to detail and was incredibly gentle throughout the entire appointment. He listened carefully while I explained the vision I had for my hair and executed it perfectly. The haircut, wash, and blow dry were all amazing. The way they wash your hair here feels SO good!!! they really massage and scrub your scalp gently and even use a hot steam towel. It was genuinely one of the best salon experiences!!! I also appreciated how kind and professional Kenji was. He noticed some dryness/breakage in my hair and kindly recommended using hair oil, which I thought was really thoughtful. I also liked that he didn't force conversation the whole time because I wasn't really in a talking mood (I was really tired and I'm an awkward person), and he still made me feel comfortable and cared for. Throughout the entire process, it was very comfortable and great! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend to my Latina baddies with long hair!!! they will take GOOD care of you here!!
