    Clarese definitely deserves 5 stars for her quality service and products! My client's hair looked flawless *all* day. Will definitely recommend!

    This review is loooong overdue! I've been going to my girl, Clarese for several years now and just now am I taking the time to share my secret! BEST BLOWOUT in LA, flexible scheduling/last minute appts, very reasonable prices, amazing customer service! She is my go- to for not only weekly blowouts, but deep condition, Keratin treatments and hair extensions! I have such frizzy, damaged, unmanageable hair, but every time Clarese works her magic, I'm a whole new person! And everyone seems to notice, without fail always receive compliments! I always get the deep conditioner, Blowout and style and it lasts sooo long. She also recently installed my hair extensions with her hand tied beaded method and I could not be any happier! I have damaged, short, fine hair and she found the PERFECT placement for my tracks, installed them flawlessly and cut/blended at such a reasonable price. I've gone to high-end hair extension shops on the Westside & Southbay, paid insane prices and still was very unsatisfied with my extensions. Sooo, I am so grateful that I turned to Clarese and let her work her magic. My exts look so real and I finally have my confidence back! Look no further, Clarese is your Gal!

    Wow! Can I give more than 5 stars? This review is way overdue since I have been fortunate to have found Clarese almost a year ago. When I first arrived at her cute salon my hair was in pretty bad shape from the salon I had been going to. I had lost about five inches of length due to damage from color that was not applied properly. For reference I am black with curly hair that has a tendency to be Very dry. Clarese has lovingly brought my hair back with conditioning treatments, regular trims, and excellent technique. She is such a skilled artist with cuts & styling, but also really cares about hair health!! I don't feel I will ever need to go anywhere else. She uses excellent tools & products. She is honest and has discouraged me from treatments she doesn't feel are necessary, even though those treatments would add to her revenue!! She does it all cuts, extensions, blowouts!!I don't get high anxiety when she says she is giving me a trim! it is always what we discussed. Do yourself a favor & make an appointment! Don't believe me take a look at her Instagram @claresecreates. To add to the fact that she is so talented is her professionalism, easy scheduling & she is such a beautiful soul overall. I really look forward to my appointments, have never had to wait, just a great experience!! She is so good that when I moved to the Valley I still go to her in Southbay worth the drive every time!! I wish I had a before picture to share but this is my now!!

    Clarese was amazing to work with. She did my hair when I eloped last month. She not only made me feel even more beautiful, I was really able to vibe with her. She was a sense of calmness for me because I was feeling a little anxious for my big day. I will definitely come back to see her again! Thank you Clarese!

    Love, love, love Clarese! I was looking for a change and wanted to cut my hair short. I showed her a couple photos and she went to work. I'm so happy I called her! The haircut was everything I wanted and more. She even spent additional time with me to teach me how to use a flat iron to curl my hair! Such a great experience :)

    Olivia S.

    Clarese did an amazing job styling me and my mom's hair! We called her last minute and she literally left her house that second to come meet us after hours. It was so sweet! The only thing I would change is that the chair isn't positioned to where you can see yourself in the mirror so you just stare at the wall the whole time. She did say she was still in the process of moving things around and hasn't finished decorating so I'm sure that will change!

    Beautiful hair
    Kelly H.

    First of all, I can't even begin to express the compliments I've received tonight on my hair. Second of all, I ALWAYS go with wavy hair because hair stylists can't seem to blow my hair out straight...until I met Clarese. Like I said, my hair has never been straighter with NO frizz or baby hairs ruining it. I will now refer to her as my queen. Thank you clarese!!

    Lillian T.

    So Clarese I have discovered Clarese's magic is multitalented! She not only is the only person who can do my blow out amazingly and lasts, but she also does extensions!! I don't know how I'll ever live without her now look at these extensions! It's beaded weft and they look completely seamless! No one can tell I have extensions, unless they touch my scalp of course

    TLDR: 3 not great experiences with Ashley, including her recording without me knowing, her being…read morelate, and then her canceling on me unexpectedly hours before an appointment and then charging ME a cancellation fee. Longer version: I found Ashley on socials and booked a new client appointment. She had me follow a bunch of rules: come in with no product in hair, no detangling, and completely dry. She was late to the appointment and I called/texted/DMed to no avail. Eventually, she did text me and let me know that she would be there. In that first appointment, we did a treatment and a wash and go. She also walked me through different products and how to style my hair. I was new in my wash n go journey and she told me to text her when I'm buying my products and to keep her updated on my hair journey. She asked me to write a 5 star review on the spot and to give her any feedback in-person instead of in a review. She tried to convince me to book a haircut, however I wasn't prepared to pay for a curly cut on the spot, but she did convince me to go ahead and still leave a 5 star review and book another wash and go. In the second appointment, it was pretty simple. We did a wash n go, and again she tried to upsell me to book a haircut by kind of insulting me about having dry hair and then also had me write a 5 star review again on the spot. She asked about my hair journey, and I told her how I still don't enjoy doing my own hair, but that I am trying my best to follow her instructions and to use the products she recommended me. I texted her ONCE when I bought the products to make sure it was right, as she requested, and ONCE a photo of my own wash n go. I later saw an Instagram post where she posted a recording of a conversation where I mentioned a salon that I'd visited over a year ago for a curly cut. In that video, my eyes are covered because I'm in the shampoo bowl, so I did not know that I was being recorded. I messaged her telling her that I did not give her permission to record me, that the context of the caption was misleading, and asked her to take that video down. It took some back-and-forth, but eventually she did take it down. That's when I noticed some of the before and after photos which I believe to be also misleading. The before photos she calls my hair dry and makes fun of my new growth, failing to mention the fact that I showed up as requested with my hair uncombed, unconditioned, no product and a year out from a cut. My hair was hydrated in the after photo and looks defined, as it does anytime I do a moisture treatment at any of the salons I've been to. Making fun of my hair while bashing another salon I hadn't been to in a year was unnecessary. This year I was going to a wedding and planning to have my hair in an updo. I wanted to support a black salon and the last one I went to was unavailable the week of the wedding. I saw that Ashley's salon is now using a different stylist other than her. I should've listened to my gut and distanced myself from anything related to Ashley from the jump. I booked a simple Wash N Go appointment with the other stylist, figuring that this is a simple appointment and that I wouldn't have too much interaction with Ashley. My plan was to have a wash and go there to define my curls and then put my hair in an updo for the wedding. The day before my appointment, Ashley texted me re-confirming the appointment and saying she was excited to see that I booked. She asked if I've gotten a curly cut before to which I told her yes and then she asked what products this "other" stylist has me using. I'm not sure why she needs that info if I'm just getting a wash n go but before I could even respond, I got a message saying that my appointment had been canceled and I'm charged a late fee for canceling within 72 hours. I thought it was an error given that she had just reconfirmed less than 5 minutes prior. I had to go back-and-forth with the booking company to eventually get my full refund, including that late cancellation fee. She never responded to my text about why I was canceled but she sent me an email mentioning the video that she recorded without my knowledge and said that "we have our choices." She had never previously expressed any issues or concerns with me, and I thought this was very unprofessional. Looking back, this unprofessional behavior is in line with every interaction we've had. I am posting exact screenshots of my conversations with her, so you can see for yourself the way that she speaks to clients. The fact that she charges people for canceling within 72 hours yet does it herself is telling. The fact that she texts me excited about an appointment just to cancel minutes later is crazy. The fact that there are many reviews saying she retaliated against them for giving less than 5 stars and/or sharing constructive feedback is ridiculous. The fact that she recorded my audio conversation while my eyes were covered in the shampoo bowl is asine.

The one I went to was a head spa, but a Chinese one. This one is Japanese and has the same features as what I have been reading about in Japan. So they start out with a scalp review, showing you how bad your scalp is. Like last time, I had a lot of buildup. I was offered more treatment for dandruff, dry scalp and didn't take the upsell for more treatment. Then I'm led into a dim room and offered a chair. They add a protective layer so I don't get wet, and cover my in a soft blanket and an eye mask. The process of washing my hair with various water and products was similar as the other head spa, but here my scalp was focused on 90%, whereas the Chinese one did a facial more than my scalp. After the head spa, I paid extra for them to dry my hair. I don't think it was worth the $45 but I wanted to pamper my mom so I splurged. They said they offer hair dryers so I guess you could DIY. 3 head spa with an added blow out came to $495. Tip was paid in cash. My mother commented that her hair felt so soft and luxurious. That's worth the money right there.

Parking: Metered parking, somewhat tight due to gym; however, the salon does provide you a pass.
