Completely unsatisfied. This is NOT "Ashy brown". And I was told this is the best that she could do.
Queena C.

So I came here to try and redye my hair. I originally wanted gray, but was told it wasn't feasible due to time limits and the challenge of removing previous color. I completely understood and agreed that we would have to try something else. Tiffany gave me a few recommendations, but they weren't really what I was thinking of, and I ended up being really stumped trying to decide on an alternative color to do. While I was trying to pick, she made an offhanded comment of "this is why knowing what you want before you book is so important". Um, okay, very uncalled for and rude, but I still played along and called a friend for suggestions. Tiffany and I eventually agreed that we would try an "ashy brown" and then aim for gray next time. Again, completely understandable! I let her know that I wanted the top half of my hair to be done more similarly to my natural hair color, and then to blend the bottom half to be the different color... and then wound up with yellowish brown hair, as if I had just let my hair completely fade out. I guess I was too nice, but i was shocked and just paid and left without making a fuss. But now that I'm at home, the more I look at it the more upset I feel. She didn't really try to blend it in at all, and the whole job just felt really rushed to get me out the door so she would be ready for her next customer. I came to Tiffany because she was highly recommended to me by a former coworker of hers. I now just feel disappointed and upset that things did not work out at all. Won't be back. Edit: Tiffany has reached out to me to offer a fix within the next week to achieve the gray I want, when previously she had told me that I should wait two weeks in between processes. When I questioned the contradicting knowledge, she sent me a very condescending text message saying that I don't understand because I am not a small business owner. She kept telling me she wasn't rushing me out the door, but after looking at my hair again today, I realized that she didn't even dye my hair through and through. I have green undertones in the under portions of my hair. So not only did I not get a color we agreed on, I also walked out with completely inconsistently dyed hair.

The before... getting these roots taken care of by Priscilla.

Horray for the opening of Coven Studios!!!! Let me just say, after having Priscilla do my hair, I have never let anyone else do anything to it but wash it. I've been going to her for 8 years now, and she only keeps getting better. She used to work at 42Fair, but they have since closed their doors. Now her and her teammate Tiff have opened up their own little spot of pure magic, and I could not be more excited for them! They can do from a simple bangs trimming to unicorn magnificence! So for my first visit to Coven Studios, I got a root touchup with some amazing back to back micro highlighting. And when I say baby highlights, omg... I mean it. Such precision!!!! (no racing stripes here!) She used a new line they are trying out called Windle and Moodie, and if felt like I was getting an aromatherapy treatment. Loved this! I never feel rushed when I get my hair done, and this was no exception. If you used to go to 42Fair, LuxeLab or Ravissant when it was called that... now you should switch over to Coven! The place is intimate, and it feels like an old-school salon where it's just the girls chatting. But very chic! Check out the pix of my service! And if you have any questions, please... ask! After going to the same person for 8+ years, I can speak a little on her performance. GOOD LUCK TO YOU LADIES! Making Los Angeles a little more glam, one head at a time.

Cut and color by Tiffany

Best men's haircuts and styles I've ever gotten. I've probably been to 10 different hair salons in my life, and Coven Studios is by far the best. I've been getting my hair cut, colored, and occasionally a design shaved into the side of my head by Tiffany for years now, and I always love the way it turns out. Her and Priscilla are the best in the business. Even my girlfriend gets her hair done here now! 5/5

I love coming here for facials and to touch up my brows. I utilize the services of Julie, who is very attentive to detail and your personal skin care needs - this is your go to person. For my facials, I let her take the lead and go with what she feels my skin needs. I have never had any issues from the products used and I have always been satisfied with the outcome. I'm not going to lie, the extractions hurt but they're necessary so just grit your teeth and the process will be over before you know it. This spa is located in a plaza with a very ample parking lot. It is monitored so make sure you pay for your parking (I believe the first 30 or 90 mins are free...forgot the deets on that) or you will come back to a ticket. If you're in a need of a snack before your appointment, there are several coffee shops you will pass before reaching the spa. Appointments are required as is a deposit for services.

I text Liz to ask if they can add my sister at 10:00 for hair and makeup and she confirmed yes. I have all the proof on my text. Then a few days before I asked if they could do my hair at 9:30 no makeup and they were nice enough to accommodate me (or so I thought) fast forward to day of our big event. Yes I was running late and they moved it down that was my fault. But when my sister got there at 10:00 they started asking for one of my nieces saying one of them was suppose to be at 10:15. My sister called me on speaker and Liz was very rude and unprofessional. She totally made my sister feel so uncomfortable on a very important day for her and her daughters. It made me so upset that the start of their big day was ruined by how rude they were being treated and how Liz was yelling at me on the phone. I sent screenshots to my sister so she can show them proof of all our conversations. Liz dismissed it still blaming me. I told my sister here is the text she sent me with prices because I have a feeling she's going to try to charge you more. Sure enough my sister said she tried to charge her more. Upon seeing my nieces to get them in their quinceñera dress I could not believe the makeup that was done on them. I could have done a better job. They slapped sloppy glitter on top of their eyelids and put on cheap eyelashes. Their makeup looked lfar from special and the girls were so disappointed they almost cried. This "beauty bar" is not for a special occasion! Avoid at all cost. You will be disappointed. The makeup artist is nicer than Liz that's for sure but does not do quality work. Pay more for makeup because a cheap price comes with cheap makeup and hair . Update! The business intended to clarify but they are wrong. The attitude of Liz ruined what was suppose to be a special moment for my sister and nieces! There was no need to be rude and yell at me on the phone!

I emailed her, and she got back to me super quickly. On the day of the lesson, she showed up right on time. I liked her personality too, she was very personable and friendly. You can tell how experienced she is from the way she demonstrates her techniques. We went through everything from full makeup to hair, and we recorded the whole session. I've been rewatching the videos over the last few days to practice. I picked up so many helpful tips I hadn't thought about before, like better ways to shape and enhance my eyebrows, better bronzer application, and little tricks for both hair and makeup. She also mentioned she'd send over a list of recommended tools afterward (I definitely realized I'm missing a few things, like stuff for crimping hair). It was valuable to go back to the basics with her guidance and see exactly how to level up my everyday techniques. Highly recommend if you're looking to improve your skills!

Her and her team have such a beautiful talent of accentuating each woman's natural beauty and features while still keeping everthing natural, but elevated. The blush, the highlight, and more specifically the EYES were all just perfect throughout the entire day. I wish I'd known about this team before my own wedding in 2024, and I will absolutely be referring her to all our future clients.

Their online booking system was very straightforward and easy to book, and I was able to book a "Hollywood Waves" session with Nicole. It was nice that they offered the $45 price without hair wash.

My opinion on her is unchanged and I would never let her cut my hair again. I came to the salon with textured bangs that were tapered and longer at the ends. They were nicely cut by Nicole, though they had grown out. I was so happy with her work, I booked a cut with her a few weeks later. I received a message the day of the appointment that she was sick and I was now with Tamar. No option to reschedule with Nicole so I went with it. I asked for a trim all around, she saw how my bangs were when I came in but she washed and took my textured, tapered bangs and cut them, wet, straight across. I asked for them to hit the bottom of my eyebrows and they barely touched them when they were wet. I knew they would shrink and began to worry. After she dried the bangs I began to cry. They were so short, with the taper section hacked to the same level, I look like I have a really bad bowl cut on the forefront of my face. I told her that they were so short and she had cut the area where they were shaped and tapered off at the sides. She said we'd dry the rest of the hair first. I tried to trust in the process, but after she gave me a Peg Bundy blowout I could not control the tears steaming down my face. I felt so ugly. Still do. She flat ironed the bangs, to try and make them lay longer and took the cape off ready to send me on my way. She never asked if I was ok or what was wrong. I asked if she could try and add some taper back and she painfully dragged her scissors down my now dry hair. I kept quiet after that because it was only getting worse and I was losing hair to work with. I don't know why, but I tipped her and left still in tears. I had to get out of there. I worked in customer service for years. If I had someone sitting in my chair visibly crying I would at least ask them if they were ok and if I were a salon I would never want anyone leaving feeling the way I did. She could not have cared less about me.

I found Kelly Zhang because I, like many other reviewers, was looking for a HMUA who would be comfortable working with Asian features (I am half-Chinese) and could do natural-looking bridal makeup, and they did not disappoint! I realized only after finding them that several of my friends had gone to this studio for their weddings or other events, and that they all had great experiences, so I felt really confident booking them. Also, the pricing was transparent and extremely fair, even though I did pay extra for travel fees from Pasadena to San Juan Capistrano/Orange County. From my trial two months before to the day-of, Kelly T. was a dream to work with. I don't wear a lot of heavy makeup on a daily basis, but while I definitely wanted to look like myself on my wedding day, I also wasn't afraid to look like I was wearing makeup - and she figured out that balance perfectly. We only made minor changes from my trial because I felt she nailed it right out of the gate, and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day! She did my mom's makeup too, and my mom told me later that she had never had her makeup done by someone who knew how to work with her features, so it was a really special experience. Thank you to Kelly T., Caroline (the coordinator), and Kelly Zhang's whole team for being part of my wedding day.

I don't usually wear makeup on day to day basis, so I was looking for someone that could achieve a natural, glowy, k-beauty type look for my wedding. When I saw Kahn's portfolio, I knew she was the one! I booked her first a HMU trial a few months before the big day- I absolutely loved my makeup at the trial but decided I want to go for a different hairstyle after taking some time to think about it. On the day of the wedding, I was honestly a little nervous because I didn't get the chance to try out the new hairstyle, but Kahn understood my vision and delivered exactly what I had asked for (which looked even better than I could've imagined). I truly have never felt so beautiful than on my wedding day, and it's all thanks to her! My only slight qualm with the service as a whole (and not Kahn's fault at all) was that there was a last-minute scheduling conflict and Kahn was unable to stay to do hair and makeup for the rest of the bridal party. However, the agency provided us with an additional HMU artist and offered to have Kahn come back during cocktail hour to do a free touch-up. I appreciate that they offered this concession, because it was great to have her touch up my makeup after shedding some tears at the ceremony. Kahn even offered to touch up the groom, and helped me with my outfit change during that time. The two additional makeup artists (Nikki and Madison) were also great- my mom was extremely happy with her makeup and said it was the best makeup service she's ever received. Overall, working with Kelly Zhang Agency was a smooth process from start to finish and I would 100% choose them again if I had to do it all over.
