Hikaru gave me 100% perfect hair. He was very professional and friendly. I am so happy to finally found my favorite hair stylist. read more

I've been coming here for years now, since COVID they've moved to the 2nd floor, the staircase is near the Honey Me and it's only Hikaru now. But the service is still excellent, and Hikaru is efficient, knowledgeable and always gets the job done correct. Great service, matching prices, salon itself is pretty barebones at this time, but all that is necessary is there. read more

Haircut is great and Hair spa is amazing. It was so relaxing It's the best in town. Thanks to my hairstylist " hikaru " to help my hair looks healthy again. He is very professional n detailed oriented. Highly recommended!! read more

Calty Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Gardena, California

Great cuts and feel good atmosphere! I have been coming here for 3 years now and I get my haircut by Muneo (MJ), who is a true professional and takes his craft seriously. Shout out to Muneo! The reason why I love this place is because they just make you feel good. The service here is what differentiates Calty from my previous salon/barber experience. In my opinion and experience, this salon feels more personal and as you frequent more often you will start to feel more comfortable and relaxed with the right stylist. The staff keeps things clean, orderly and professional so when a customer arrives, the attention is focused on the customer and he or she is able to relax and have an enjoyable experience. I barely hear staff chattering amongst themselves when customers are present and most of the time the staff are engaged with their own clients or duties. Also, the staff will usually initiate chit chat and I really appreciate the effort and friendliness that they provide to get to know me. Did I mention the head massage? If you need to unwind or relax just wait for the head massage and you'll forget that you're even there for a haircut. As for price, Calty is very reasonable but I do think you need to find the right stylist for your needs. Overall, great value in general and great value for what you may pay somewhere else. I recommend you check this place out! read more

See all

Hikaru does an amazing job and a true professional! His skills and precision is top notch and one of the nicest people I've ever met. It's extremely difficult to find someone as good AND reliable as Hikaru and grateful Calty found him. read more

Hikaru was great! The quality of the service and the price was very reasonable as well!

Great beauty find in the Southbay! I needed a last minute weekend appointment and Calty's was able to accommodate me the following day. Ami did a great job cutting my hair and giving it some movement. She asked key questions about length, volume and where I part my hair. After that, she knew exactly what she wanted to do to create my hairstyle. Although this salon has predominately Japanese-speaking clientele, I didn't have any problems communicating with any of the staff. You could always bring a photo to help, but I didn't even have that and was just fine. For the price ($40), I was really impressed. I noticed the website said $35 for women's haircut, but I assume the extra $5 was for my longish and thick hair . Anyways, it was still a steal with what I usually pay. Totally worth noting is that I got the best head massage and shampoo here! When I walked out, I felt so confident with a fresh and flattering new haircut! All in all, I was really happy with my first service here. The main area downstairs is a little small, but they do offer a sitting area with magazines if you have to wait. It looks like there is an upstairs area- I assume for their spa services (eyelash ext. and perms). Parking in Tozai can be rough at night just because the spots are too small and the two exits to the lot get congested. Luckily, I made an AM appt and parking was easy. I really read up on salons before I go, so Calty's impressed me and I wouldn't hesistate to go back! read more

Calty Salon - Haircut and curls by Ami - Hair Salons Near Me - Gardena, California

Since the dispute of a J pop magazine in Sept featuring Calty, you can't get an appointment in less than a week. Then I realized If the job is done in a rush, my lashes will be glued together and your real lash will fall out or you need to go back in a week. If she spends a loooog time on you, your lash will last 3 weeks with no incidence. Seriously my neck, back of my head have bed sores in the end of such a long the session. Last time I was here, I arrived at 1:15pm, when I was done, it was 10 mins after 4 pm. It was painful due to the spilled glue and she was using scissors to free my lower lash from the upper lash. It took 3 months to grow back. read more

Polite staffs, I always get pampered here. Yoko San takes good care of my hair.... head massage during shampoo and the hair cut always carefully executed , each and every time! read more

After a long year and a half without cutting my hair, my friend recommended me to see Hikaru at Calty to fix up my hair. I am so glad I came in because now I have a salon in the South Bay that I will be coming back to regularly! Hikaru is a true professional in his craft. Since I didn't bring in any pictures of what I wanted, he asked a few questions to get clarity on what I envisioned. He is meticulous with the small details and makes sure your hair looks great from any angle. As someone who can be picky about the way my hair is cut, I'm extremely happy with the final cut! Not only do you get an great haircut, but you receive a relaxing head spa before the cut. The top-quality services and hospitality at Calty is such a great value for the price! Hikaru, thank you for putting so much care and thought into my haircut! Looking forward to coming back again! read more

MJ did it again!! I had a bob & bleached hair 2 yrs ago. Ever since I came to MJ, he knew exactly what to do. The length of my hair grew tremendously, silky and soft. He is professional & does everything with precision & so much love!! I highly recommend :-) read more

I am a guy, so let me put that out there first. Now, as an Asian guy, my haircut needs are high. So that's what brought me here. I usually go to various other Japanese hair salons but I've been here on a number of occasions. It's a hit or a miss here. Some people are really good, while others are not so skilled. The average price is around $34 / men's haircut. Which is worth it if you end up with a sick asian hair do. But $34 can be a big waste for a bad haircut, or ones you end up looking like you just went to sports clips. If you're a girl, this place seems like a good place to try out. But as a guy, I probably won't be returning. read more

Head Massages ?! Who knew they were a thing and who knew they were soooo enjoyable. MJ is great. Sweet, gentle, comforting guy with great attention to detail. read more

This good review is for Ami. I've been coming here for more than a year now and she never disappoint me. I'm always happy with her work which doesn't always happen with hair salon. I'm Asian and we can't really go to local salons as they wouldn't have the right skills for Asian hair. Happy to have found this place :) read more

Calty Salon is an authentic Japanese hair salon. Haircut, shampoo, drinks, hot towel, and conditioner with scalp massage all come standard. This place usually requires an appointment and they have always been on time with me. The staff is extremely friendly and make you feel that they appreciate your patronage and business. They also have an excellent small lounge area with water, magazines and a Keurig brewer. I always leave 100% satisfied with my haircut. read more

Calty Salon - My first haircut at Calty - Hair Salons Near Me - Gardena, California

I'm leaving the good review because of Ami sen. Ami, I realized Ami den is not there anymore. If Ami you see this post please reply!!! We miss you!!! Shelly and B read more

This is the best hair salon. I come here every couple of intestine to cut my hair, and they do a amazing job! I will definitely recommend here to everybody. They can work with all hair types. read more

Great spot for hair cut for men. Just like any place it's really about the person that cuts your hair. Ask for a guy named Muneo. Super cool guy and has great skills. read more

Heads up: This place is more for Japanese speakers. Most of the staff seem to only speak Japanese. This is a great place to get a haircut if you're looking for a low budget but good salon. They wash your hair, massage your head, and cut. Free drinks are offered, including tea, juice, pop, and coffee. :) For a cut, I paid $35 + tip, which is half the price of other Japanese hair salons out in West LA... so it's worth the drive! It's located inside a strip mall with a lot of restaurants, so definitely go show off your new do afterwards! ;) read more

Reasonable price and good service. Not a fancy place but I think hair stylists have good skills.

I this place is more Japanese speaker friendly. I only neeeded a trim and the cut was sufficient... nothing fancy. In LA proper, I would've paid $60 incl. tip, so $45 incl. tip was just right for me. read more

This is a small salon that gets quite busy. I did enjoy my visit and will be coming back. They offer the signature head massage and hot tea option as all japanese hair salons do. The crowd here is 20-35 and the hair dressers are also in that age range. Prices are moderate compared to other salons as services are also comparable. read more

Everyone was very kind and the service was quick! I was in and out in no time when I did my eyelash perm today (7/18/17). I love how my lashes ended up looking and she was very gentle while doing it. I will put up a picture of the result. Definitely planning to return again! read more

Calty Salon - First time getting an eyelash perm and loved it! Very good price and great work!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Gardena, California

I should have listened to the person who pointed out that this salon is more for Japanese speakers.. I called yesterday to make an appointment for 5:15 and the person who answered said that was fine. Surely enough, when I arrived, the receptionist had on a very puzzled look. She kept staring at the log book for answers and finally the man that appeared to be the owner came and looked at the log book as well. He apologized and said they were booked. I am leaving 2 stars because they need to hire a receptionist that knows what an English speaker is saying over the phone. read more

Love this place and the girl who did my hair :) I've always had long hair so I was super nervous coming into the place to get it chopped off. (Wanted to donate my hair and was over my heavy hair giving me headaches). She did an amazing job. Took me awhile to get used to my new do but now I love it and I think I will always have short hair now :) thank you! read more

Hair stylist overcharged me twice in the row. The first time I was thinking...okay everyone makes mistakes but the second time she overcharged me there was an extra charge added for a service I didn't even get. That's when I knew she was doing this on purpose. I'm NEVER going back there. read more

Don't get your eyelash extensions or perms there! The girl I got it done from must be an amateur (who charges $90!?). I kept telling her the lashes were uneven but she wouldn't listen. She did one eye perfectly, and once I agreed to add more after listening to her sales talk, she just did a mediocre job. But for her own lashes, she had them so nice and PURFECT. Guess she doesn't give a shyte about other people who pay. The false lashes were poking my lashline until they all fell out in less than a week. Totally unsatisfactory! read more

My boyfriend and I got our haircuts here last night per the recommendation of our friend who frequently goes here to get her haircut. S. cut my hair and K. cut my bf's hair. First, my bf was afraid this place doesn't cut men's hair, but it turned out really nicely and we both love his new haircut! I used to only take him to Rooster's barbershop where I thought the people there already took their time to make my bf look good (and they are really good!). But K. took her time to go above and beyond THAT so that already says a lot about the quality of her work. I can't say much because she didn't cut my hair except for that I love what she did with his hair. :) My stylist then sat me down and asked what I wanted to do with MY hair. I never know what to do so I just told him what I tell all other stylists that cut my hair. I usually get a medium layer, but if he has any good recommendations in mind that he thinks is better he's free to do whatever with my hair as long as it's not too short nor anything too crazy. Though it was a bit hard communicating because of the language barrier, he delivered BIG TIME! I can tell he's really nice and funny. It is always entertaining for me to watch how stylists cut my hair because I wonder what they're thinking while cutting my hair, and so far he has been the most focused and MOST detailed. He gave me a massage whilst washing my hair and took his time in everything. I've never had my hair worked on by somebody longer than he has, which is a good thing because I am EXTREMELY HAPPY with the results! My hair is really straight so I know how difficult it must be for him to make it look like it has a lot of volume. Until last night, I NEVER went to the same salon TWICE. But I think I just found my new permanent stylist!!! :) Thank you for taking care of me and my bf and making us look good! :) read more

I live in WA and visit LA every year. Me and my wife always make an apppintment. We like to get a fashion haircut which is not available in Seattle area. We like how we look and hope we could get a cut when we want to. read more

I have been going back for Eye Lash Extension for almost every month. And I love them!!! I think she is very detail oriented and gentle. I always fall asleep while she is working on me. The charge is not higher or lower compare with other salons, some beverlylhills salon charges $140 or more for not so detailed work and less amount of lashes. I read previous bad review, but I really do not have any complaints and I will go back to them, actually I have an appointment today for touch up. I sent my friend there and she was happy. read more

My first time here and I was very satisfied. Hikaru is great and a professional hair stylist! He gave me a perfect answer to my vague request. I have complete confidence in him. So I will definitely come back here again. read more

If you have never had eyelash extensions I highly recommend it! Your mornings are easier and you look ready all the time! I come to Calty salon for my eyelash extensions! Even for the touch ups! The staff here are always very accommodating and friendly. The extensions itself are definitely high quality and you can pick from different looks like natural or gorgeous. I normally get the "gorgeous" look which is a fuller look with a higher thread count. I only need to come in for a fill once every three weeks or so! The fills usually take about under an hour depending how much I would have to fill and appointments are really easy to make. I always make them last minute but they can still squeeze me in during their week. Highly recommend! read more

Read the reviews on Yelp and decided to give this salon a try. I got my hair cut by Hitomi and I am so pleased with the results! I've been getting so many compliments on my hair! The salon is a bit packed inside, but the service and the prices are great. I will definitely come back here again :) read more

I have been coming to Calty Salon for many years, and I get my eyelash extensions here and they do an amazing job! I always ask for Tiffany to do my extensions, and she never failed to impress me. She would do an amazing job with the different styles of extensions. When I first started getting extensions, I didn't know anything about it, but Tiffany helped me choose a style that I like, and you can always go to her for any maintenance for your extensions! She also does eyelash perms, which also looks amazing! I get lots of compliments from people about my eyelashes and it's amazing to feel confident in your looks. Definitely a go-to place! :) read more

I went there to have permanent wave. It was really good but wave came off after 1 week so called and re-do again. my hair got damaged so bad. price range is good but they use hoyu shampoo makes my hair dry.. read more

I love this place!! I had been looking for a high skill's hair salon in Torrance. Then finally found the place where is Calty Salon.All Staffs are very friendly and the salon is neat. My hair stylist, Takkako has an excellent skill. Everybody admires my hair style. So, I recommend this salon. read more

Shampoo = 5/5 Hair Cut = 4.5/5 for the price yea... Service = 3/5 normal average nothing bad! I actually like this salon. I usually wait to review hair salons until i've tried their place for at least 2-3 times. Scheduling is not much of a problem..... i had an important date the day of, and didn't want to bother getting myself nice, so i called the day before to schedule a hair appointment, and was able to get the hair stylist that i wanted.. shampoo massage is the best here... most places don't give you a good hair shampooing/massage.. but as a girl, i want my hair shampoo massage just like in Japan, where they take an extra few minutes to actually massage your scalp... ! Hair Cut is good! for the price, and the low-maintenance haircut i want, my stylist actually cuts like i want my hair, nothing fancy, and nothing out of the craziness... just low layered, and thinned out.. Again, it's not anything amazing, but the haircut is sufficient and good for the budget! Since they keep their hair cut price at a good deal, i would be more willing to come more often than i usually would... Service good! nothing bad nor superb out of the ordinary service. i just wished they remembered a few things from my previous visits, but it seemed as though i had to repeat how i wanted my hair.. but maybe it was a communication thing. and yes, like another reviewer said this place is more Japanese speaker friendly! all those years of learning Japanese i guess pays off... ? lol read more

This is the cheapest and biggest (in terms of number of stylists) Japanese hair salon with longest business hours among four Japanese hair salons in greater LA I know of/have visited. Nothing fancy but they are welcoming and take a good care. So far I'm satisfied with the result too:) read more

Overcharge & refuse to money back. They say once they charged to credit card, they can not refund!!! Then, they say they will keep overcharge amount for next time service. NO WAY!! Never go back there. read more

Shitty job. I can't believe how they died my hair like that. If you want good service and quality, don't go. You will regret.
