I've been seeing Leticia for both color and cuts, and I can honestly say she's one of the most knowledgeable and attentive stylists I've ever had. Beyond the amazing results she delivers with my color and style, what sets her apart is how much she invests in the overall health of my hair. Each visit feels like a personalized consultation--Leticia takes the time to explain what's best for my specific hair condition, and she always shares product recommendations and treatments that make a real difference. I've learned so much from her about hair care and maintenance, and I feel completely confident that my hair is healthier and stronger because of her expertise. She's professional, warm, and truly cares about her clients looking and feeling their best. If you're looking for someone who not only creates beautiful hair but also educates you on how to maintain it, Leticia is the stylist you need!

Katie rocked it! Love the color, style & cut! Will probably have to park in metered spot as parking is only available on the street but it's worth it! Thanks Katie!

Crush Salon is a cute & quaint, beachside salon located in Hermosa Beach, Ca. Owner/Stylist Byron is totally chill and seems to be totally focused on his clients needs and over all salon experience. Kristoff Ball (Stylist to the Stars) did an amazing job with my color, cut and style. Overall good customer service and great ambience!

Highly recommend going to Ashley for color/cuts!! She is the only person I go to and has fair prices! I have long, very dark brown hair and many stylist in the past have struggled to highlight my hair- resulting in it being an orangey color. However, Ashley always gives me the perfect Carmel highlights and never over processes my hair.

Updated review! Dec 24' (black top) Color refresh!! Added some layers, took off some length and had a blow out. Ashley is perfection when it comes to color and layers, in my humble opinion if you're new to the area or simply looking for a new stylist, GIVE CRUSH SALON A TRY!! This place is solid

Before and After - Color Correction by Allie on double bleached hair
Jen M.

You know that feeling you have when something is just meant to be? Here's my story of how this all came together...Allie came to the rescue of my daughter's hair just days before her HS Senior Prom. Through some miscommunication/language barrier issues with a different hair stylist, my daughter's request for highlights turned into a bleached out mess! On a desperate search for someone local to the South Bay, who could also understand my daughter's vibe and of course fix her hair - I came across Crush Salon. There were a lot of other salons that I ended up bookmarking. Most of them "Asian salons" because well, I'm Asian and my daughter is 3/4 Asian. But Crush is the only salon I actually physically went to. The first evening, I drove by because either Yelp or Google listed the salon as open. They weren't, but I was not to be swayed. I returned again on a Sunday afternoon, and it just so happened that the salon was open for just one client, and Allie was there. There was an instant feeling of calm and positive energy from Allie. When I found out her name, I was certain. Allie is also the name of my son's fiancé, who we absolutely adore and my daughter has a close bond with her. I booked an appt for my daughter with Allie for later that week. When you know, you know... My daughter absolutely LOVES Allie, and her hair came out beautiful for her prom! Because this was a corrective color, we've had to return about a month after for her high school graduation, and my daughter's hair looks fantastic every time. Crush is located next to Hermosa Pier, and parking can be trickier on the weekends due to the beach crowds, but there's a convenient parking garage too. (Just set a reminder for yourself if you're doing meter parking of your time!) The salon is clean, comfortable, and welcoming. If you're looking for upscale and frou frou - this may not be your vibe. But if you're in search of a chill vibe and having your hair taken care of - Crush is here for you! We love Allie, and my daughter made sure to book another appointment to include a Brazilian Blow Out before she heads up North for college. I know she'll be booking her holiday, spring break, and summer appointments with Allie too! Thank you, Allie!

2022.09.29 Simple $120 hair cut kept grays I requested. Light layering in front & kindest stylist I've ever met: Brandon took my picture!
Kim C.

When I called an hour earlier than the opening hours in order to set up the appointment, Brandon called back immediately after I left a voice message (even though it was 8 a.m. in the morning). Brandon did such a wonderful and professional job on my hair. But more than that it was the little details that showed me that 5 star treatment I would want. He didn't try to make me spend more than I would have wanted to by trying to add more items to purchase for my hair, he didn't try to make me do more than a simple cut, as he understood this was my first visit ~ and I was trying to feel this place out. I got a simple cut with light layering in the front. Paid $120 for it with a an additional tip as well. I informed him that next time I wanted to dye my gray hairs electric blue and he said he wanted to put his foot down and recommended that I don't do that and explained a semi permanent coloring would be better. He mentioned that a semi permanent would be good to reduce the frizz of my hair and cover my gray hairs, and that it would grow out gently and not affect the new gray hair coming in, but after explaining and hearing my response, Brandon let it go with no real pressure. I may do this next time! Additionally, when I told Brandon that I have been told never to get bangs, Brandon agreed. Then he went one step further and explained why I should not get bangs. I found this to be helpful, because the way he explained it was very illuminating and no other hair stylist has ever made an effort to explain why I shouldn't get bangs. Finally the reason I chose this place was that it had 469 reviews w/5 stars at the time and was open on a Sunday. The only thing I don't enjoy is the idea that I need to get metered parking. I plan to come again when I need some pampering!

Ask the Community - Crush Salon

How do I make an appointment?

Does anyone what products they use (shampoo etc.)?

It's hair stylist specific, but I know they use the UNITE product line.

How much are women hair cuts?

80-100 is what I was told when I called, because of the varying expertise.

Is the owner still Eli?

Hi Esther, thanks for reaching out. After restructuring ownership Eli has moved on and is no longer with the salon. Hope to see you at the salon soon!

Trying to find a colorist looks like Natalie is good, how are the prices and availability for her this thursday?

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.

Moreover, maturity level has a lot to do with it. Location: Salon is located near the Bay Club, the location is beautiful and plenty to do afterwards, but not worth it when you leave the salon with results that you clearly advised you did not want to see. Parking: Metered parking, somewhat tight due to gym; however, the salon does provide you a pass. Front desk person: Woman that answers the phone provides the recommendation on who to see based on the description that you give her; altough I'm not sure she is the right person so make those determinations. Color: Failed results at all times, kept saying that it's a process, yet she never invested in achieving the color as we discussed. I felt low and disregarded every single time I left the salon. I paid over $1000 to not obtain the results in each session. When I shared my concerns with her and advised that the incorrect color was used, she became distant, ghosted me on text and was not honest about when she was in the office. I called the salon and the woman at the front told me she was there. I feel cheated and hurt. There is no salon manager, no one that cares or that you can speak to about your concerns. Payments are done directly to the stylist.

From the moment I walked in she made sure I was comfortable and well-taken care of! It's the little things that make Carmen stand apart from others; she asked me if the room temperature in the salon was comfortable for me, offered me something to drink, and made sure I was cozy throughout my highlights, shampoo, and blow dry, checking in from time to time and encouraging me to let her know if I needed anything. I had partial highlights done on my medium-length blonde hair. Carmen applied the bleach very carefully but efficiently, taking in my concern that a previous colorist had made the highlights too chunky in some areas, leaving my hair less natural looking. She also got that bleach right up to the root as I requested so that I can stretch out salon visits a bit more! Yay for saving time and money! Carmen's shampoo was amazing, too. She took her time to do a really thorough and amazing-feeling wash and then thoroughly ran the conditioner through my hair from roots to ends. She even applied an extra treatment to reduce the brassiness in my color without me having to ask (or even thinking to ask!). Her blow dry was gentle and efficient, and the best part was she made it look exactly like I requested, showing that she's a good listener and really strives to please her clients! I will definitely be returning to Carmen for a trim and highlights in the future! Thank you Carmen and Merry Christmas!
