I live in Los Angeles. I vacation in Pacific Grove once a year. I have had genuine difficulty, for…read moreover a decade, finding someone who can get my cut/color right, at the same time. I found Rosana/LA Bottega by chance (really by judging salons by pictures of their interior decor) and I'm thrilled. I feel like "me" finally. I feel amazing. She totally delivered. And she's a cool, awesome person on top of it all. The "after" picture I took was in the bathroom after she was done. I'm "glowing" with happiness in a public bathroom with florescent light. She's that good.

My hairstylist had told me she would lean how and give me a good price. But second time around I knew I needed a seasoned professional.

I'm booked and very happy I found a pro in all aspects cut color style and extensions. Thank you Crystal see you in December

An Ode to Sammi Mount: The Artisan of Hair and Heart…read more In a world filled with stylists and salons, there are a rare few whose craft transcends aesthetics and becomes something deeply personal, transformative, even sacred. Sammi Mount is one such artist. To call her a hairdresser would be to simplify what she truly offers. She is a master colorist, a precision cutter, a visionary stylist, and most of all, a soul who pours her whole heart into every client she touches. I have entrusted my hair to elite stylists in Paris, Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, global capitals of beauty and fashion. And yet none have come close to Sammi's level of artistry and care. I now travel and fly just to see her because once you have experienced her work, anything else feels like a compromise. She is without question the best I have ever had. Her color is otherworldly. Sammi does not just apply color, she understands light, tone, texture, and identity. Each highlight, lowlight, and blend is placed with intention, as though she is painting a living, breathing canvas. Her haircuts are sculptural yet effortless, tailored not only to your face but to your movement, your energy, your life. But what sets Sammi apart even beyond her technical brilliance is the soul she brings into her space. Her presence is grounding. Her kindness is palpable. Every appointment feels like a safe haven, a time not only to feel beautiful but to be heard. The conversations you have in her chair are as nourishing as the transformation itself. She listens with real curiosity, speaks with honesty and warmth, and somehow always knows just what you need, whether it is a bold new look or a quiet reset. As much as I would love to keep her a secret, to guard her name like a hidden gem only the lucky few know about, Sammi deserves to be celebrated. She is the best at what she does. She is meticulous, intuitive, soulful, and generous beyond words. Sammi Mount is not just a stylist. She is an experience. A ritual. A rare kind of artist whose work lingers far beyond the mirror and deep into the heart.

I would choose a different salon... I asked for an angled bob, I showed several pictures of my hair…read morepreviously (length, etc). The stylist (Kelley) ended up cutting the front pieces around my face way shorter by a half inch than the rest of the length of the hair? It looks terrible. I did want a shorter cut but not a bad cut, maybe I should have spelled it out for her (I guess I am not scissor literate or something but its just not a great cut). I probably should have realized this when they scheduled me for a next day service- there was no wait time? Either way there are better salons, I can probably trim my own hair to even it out but proceed with caution if you have not been here before.
