She worked with me to make sure length was what I wanted, which I really appreciated. I was really happy with how my hair came out! Definitely took into account all of my ideas, hair routine, and inspo. The salon is cute and clean. It's well-organized, and the stylists all seem happy to be there. Gabrealla had great product recommendations, and they keep products they use in stock. I went on a Thursday afternoon and was able to find street parking close to the salon. I've been looking for a go-to salon in LA, and I think this is it! Definitely recommend Gabrealla :)

When I made my appointment at Miakel Bishay Salon, I specifically requested to be paired with…read moresomeone experienced in cutting long bobs because I knew the style I wanted required skill and precision. I wanted a shorter bob in the back and longer in the front. Since this salon is expensive, I trusted that I would be in professional hands. Unfortunately, my experience with Mitra Jam was extremely disappointing and honestly devastating. The first time she cut my hair, it did not look anything like the haircut I asked for. When I explained that I did not like how it looked, she cut even more trying to "fix" it, and it ended up way too short while still not looking like the style I wanted. I also mentioned that I wanted some volume removed from my hair, but instead of blending it properly, she started cutting random chunks throughout my hair. Now, weeks later, I still have pieces sticking out that are barely about an inch long. There is no way to blend them or style them naturally. I literally have to use gel just to keep those pieces down because they stick out everywhere. I truly believe that if someone is not experienced or confident doing a certain type of haircut, they should not perform it. It is honestly unbelievable to pay this much money and leave with your hair completely ruined. Despite everything, she was kind and told me that if I wanted her to fix anything, I could come back. But realistically, she cannot uncut my hair. I normally do not leave negative reviews, but this experience genuinely affected me and I would not want someone else to go through the same thing.

GO TO GRACE ‼ After…read morea HORRIBLE salon experience in 2021, I was genuinely terrified to get my hair done again. Years later, I finally decided to take the plunge before going on an Italy trip.....and I'm SO glad I found Grace. I'm now a consistent client. She listened to exactly what I wanted, gave me bangs, fixed the weird "band" around my head, and completely transformed my look. I walked out of her chair feeling like a million bucks. I'M BACKKKK. Grace is incredibly talented, kind, relatable, and such a great listener. She even gives the best scalp massages! As someone who is VERY picky and has some serious hair trauma, I can confidently say: GO TO GRACE. You'll leave her chair feeling confident, beautiful, and ready to turn heads when you walk out on Montana Ave .

Can't wait to see her again in November for a trim and color touch up!

After chatting with Maggie, I was convinced into dying my hair so it could be shiney and hide the *ahem* grays I have. Despite having a tight schedule, Maggie squeezed me in on time for my wedding... and I am forever grateful. Thanks to Maggie and the girls, I felt beautiful during all my wedding festivities- and it was in part due to the fresh, dark, glorious hair. (Don't be afraid to go dark!) Really lovely experience and I will be returning- I'm hooked on having great hair now! FINALLY i found my place in L.A.!
